Three Pillars of a Balanced Diet

So I really like to get people out of thinking about the healing diets, which are there for a reason and should be done with a provider. If you're on a healing diet that is very restricted, it should be done for a limited time because you start to introduce nutrient deficiencies when you limit your dietary intake. So our three dietary principles, fat, fiber, protein at every meal or snack stick start there before you start measuring your blood sugar. Worrying like just fat, fiber, protein at every meal or snack. The second place I like to go is to eat the rainbow. And that way we're getting a lot of the phytonutrients that we need. They have so many benefits. Anti inflammatory, help with our oxidative stress, all the things the neurodegeneration, brain health. They also give us a lot of fiber, so they bring in a lot of nutrients. When we're thinking more broadly about color and we're getting super playful. The third principle is what I call the yes, no, maybe list. And this is a great way to set ourselves up for the conversations with our providers who are starting us with those foundations.
