WWN Philosophy for Eating your way to your best self…Define your Functional Food Culture…A Method to Stack the Deck in your favor
Choosing to pursue improving your health and making an effort to transform your body are excellent choices but can be quite challenging. Discerning the path to deeper strength and vitality is not always clear; more challenging is understanding the spectrum of choices that might possibly lead to success or healing verses “evidence” that symptoms are gone. The frequency by which we make choices about what to eat or drink can and often does create a problem/challenge for people that circulates in cycles or can seem never ending. In truth, there is an aspect of how our body uses food and how our mind distorts it that can be maddening for just about anyone. Add to that the long list of possible problems arising from the current state of how our food is chemically altered, engineered, sourced and refined and you see why there is a new fad diet that streams across headlines every month about how to lose weight or what type of food to cut out to loose weight, look younger, etc. WWN offers a path of wellness that is rooted in establishing a food culture centered around foods that provide nourishment, synergistic nutrient protection and holistic wellness strategies that support your whole being and result in improving and boosting your health.
Functional Food Culture is an approach to eating that is directly aligned with investing in your health and encompasses optimal nutrient requirements to meet the needs of your body, the demands of your lifestyle and the attainment of your goals. WWN is based on a standard of eating and drinking S.O.U.L (Seasonal, Organic, Unprocessed, Local) foods. It is a strategic person centered and diverse approach to eating that utilizes vast varieties of whole foods to support macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates) micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and phytonutrients (plant based synergistic nutrients and antioxidants) that promote and stabilize the biochemical processes of digestion, metabolism, and physiology.
Specific diets such as raw foods, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free may prove to be strategically useful as are cooking techniques such as, sprouting, fermentation, juicing, traditional broth based, and slow cooking. WWN recommends a diverse range of foods, cooking techniques, botanicals and supplements to compose a functional food culture. As your body changes the meal plan that supports you will need to be adjusted as well, the good news is that once you have defined your winning formula and functional food culture making shifts to continue to integrate these into continued wellness strategies becomes second nature.
