The three things that remain when you die:

If you take a road of self-attack in order to change yourself, you'll end up at the end of that road all beat up. If you take a road of self-love to change yourself, you'll find yourself at a happier and healthier destination.

Many of us are used to thinking about diets as something we do short term without much enjoyment, but I designed the Pegan Diet not to be something we go “on” and “off” of -- The Pegan Diet is rather a way of life. ⁣
⁣
The goal is not to be perfect, but to follow a simple set of principles that can help us stay healthy. It’s about doing your best and letting go of food stress and anxiety. ⁣
⁣
I want you to eat real, whole foods. Sometimes that means following a recipe, and other times that means using what you have to make what you can. As you become more familiar with the Pegan Diet, shopping for the right foods and creating your own healthy meals will become second nature. ⁣
⁣
Remember, that true health isn’t just about losing a few pounds or about the absence of chronic disease, it’s about feeling good, showing up, and giving your highest gifts to the world.⁣

What we eat is only one “ingredient” needed to make a healthy human.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
⁣The key focus areas that I always recommend my patients pay attention to are community, spirit, emotional health, relationships, nutrition, movement, purpose, and mindset. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Within these areas, we can have a dramatic influence on our immediate and future health.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
There is so much you can do to help yourself to prevent, treat, and heal dis-ease no matter what situation you’re in. You have the power to change your health and these areas are where it all begins.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ve personally experienced the powerful shifts that are possible using a holistic, functional approach that supports the body, mind, and spirit; take your first step today.⁣⁣

We are learning from research in the field of nutrigenomics, that food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease.⁣
⁣
Think of your genes as the software the runs everything in your body. Just like your computer software, it only does what you instruct it to do with the stroke of your keyboard.⁣
The foods you eat are the keystrokes that send messages to your genes telling them what to do—creating health or disease.⁣
⁣
Imagine what messages you are sending with a double cheeseburger, large fries, and a 48-ounce cola. Consider what messages you might send instead with deep-red wild salmon and a bed of greens.⁣
⁣
The new science of nutrigenomics allows us to personalize medicine—not everyone with the same problems needs the same prescription. Your individual genetic makeup determines what you need to be optimally healthy.⁣
⁣
The first step is to take out the bad stuff (the things that create imbalance such as a nutrient-poor, processed diet; toxins; allergens; infections; and stress); remove what’s bugging you. If you have ten tacks in your foot, you can’t take out one, pop an aspirin, and hope to feel better. You need to find and take out all the tacks; taking out just one of them won’t make you better.⁣
⁣
The second step is to add the good stuff (high-quality whole foods, nutrients, water, oxygen, light, movement, sleep, relaxation, community, connection, love, meaning, and purpose), and the body’s natural intelligence and healing system will take care of the rest.⁣
⁣
That’s all there is to it.⁣
