AT A GLANCE
Similar to the information on dietary fats and oils, information on macronutrient intake and their influence on our health has been back and forth like a ping pong match. There’s little wonder why many struggle with what to believe and how best to structure their diet in regard to the types, sources, and amounts of macronutrients they are best to consume.
This Lab will clear up the confusion and ensure you have these essential areas dialed in. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that the deeper, more accurate understanding of macronutrients is not critical for you to grasp and apply in your daily food choices—because it is. Macronutrients have their own “language”, which communicates with your GI microbiome and cells systemically, The messages inherent within the forms of macronutrients we consume play a crucial role in your function, despite the fact that this is likely the first time you are hearing of it. This Lab is a true game-changer in clarifying and simplifying your food choices and habits. While the concept of “food as language, information and an important form of communication” may be new to you, its an incredible paradigm that will transform your relationship with nourishment, in the most wholesome ways. This Lab is best explored in tandem with its partner Labs: Food & Dietary Principles, Protein: Determining Your Needs, Fats & Oils, and Fiber Facts.

HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
- What are the historic influences and principle forces that have shaped our relationship with foods across hundreds of thousands of years as humans, and across hundreds of millions of years for our microbiota (gut microorganisms)?
- What exchanges of information, communications, occur between the foods we consume and our GI microbiota and our body and brain cells systemically?
- Might there be a better model of understanding here, one that makes our decisions on what to purchase and consume clearer and easier to sustain?
- How might your body and mind respond to better, more complete communication coming from whole, natural foods that we have evolved with across countless millennia, in contrast to the severely redacted communications of most foods being consumed today?
HYPOTHESIS
The model of food as communication and not simply as a source of energy is as fundamental to superior nourishment as it is provocative and profound. It forms the basis for making decisions on what best to purchase and consume remarkably simple and straightforward.
This Lab ensures you have the knowledge you require to capitalize on the many benefits of improving the quality and quantity of whole natural foods in your diet, without the hassle and angst of doing advanced math around the amounts of calories and grams of fat, carbs or protein you need to be healthier. It is certain to bring more clarity and ease into your eating habits and relationship with food, while better supporting your function and vitality.
