Overfed and under nourished.

How can it be that this is 2/3 of our population?

We are overfed on the macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates) but underfed on the micronutrients including all the vitamins/minerals.

Our bodies have no problem absorbing calories and the macronutrients. Protein and fat are critical for all functions in the body so think of them as the building materials of your soul’s house aka your body.  Those nutrients can also be used as fuel and fats are especially good for this. Carbohydrates are strictly fuel and they can supply some essential micronutrients when they are NOT refined. A refined food is when the nutrient profile has been tampered with.

This is an empty calorie or junk food.

So with the fat, protein or carbohydrates now in your body, if your body is still deficient in micronutrients then it is going to sound the hunger alarm again.  Meaning yes you ate, but you’re hungry because you’re undernourished. The micronutrients are like the power tools at a constructions site. Lots of supplies and no tools makes for a crappy house and definitely one that doesn’t heal well. The micronutrients are what make all the functions of the body work: rebuilding, growth, repair, immune health…….

Without them – well- you are what you eat. You consistently eat junk food and that is what you get…junk. People come in and I’m shocked that they are still kicking given the licking they continually give to their body. Given how we treat the body, its ability to heal is really incredible.

What Can We Do?

Catalyn – is Standard Process’ whole food multiple supplement.  It is a formula of 17 whole foods which are grown on their 1000 acre organic farm in Palmyra, WI and is 94 years old this year.  Nearly a century and the formula that hasn’t had to be changed! Impressive.

Catalyn stands for catalyst meaning it supplies all of the essential micronutrients your body needs for optimal functions.

When you take 2/day, a large bottle lasts for 6 months which is under $9 a month. In return, you get is small amounts of thousands of micronutrients known and unknown like nature intended it to be.

Catalyn comes in the standard, 94 year old formula.

This Catalyn comes in gluten free.

Chewable Catalyn.

So there really is no reason not to try at least one of these supplements to give your body the tools it needs!
