What is foundational nutrition?
Our lifestyles demand more from our mind and planet, but less from our body — this is out of whack.
Studies show that optimal health needs a variety of micronutrients, phytonutrients, and pre and probiotics. Something hard to obtain with depleting soil health and increasingly processed food. Foundational nutrition is designed to provide a comprehensive spectrum of nutrients to fill gaps in the modern diet, raising our baseline health for better wellbeing, and whole body health.
The fundamentals of foundational nutrition
Vitamins
Vitamins support foundational health by enabling critical bodily functions such as energy production, immune defence, cellular repair, and maintenance of bones, skin, and organs.
Minerals
Minerals are vital nutrients that support foundational health by aiding in bone formation, nerve function, muscle contraction, maintaining fluid balance, enzyme activation, and overall cellular processes, ensuring the proper functioning of various bodily systems.
Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are biochemical compounds found in fruits, vegetables, herbs, and whole grains that are essential for foundational health. They contain the benefits found in our foods and provide antioxidant protection, reduce inflammation, support immune function, and promote overall cellular health and disease prevention.
Synbiotics
Synbiotics are a combination of probiotics and prebiotics(fibre) that work together to enhance the gut microbiome, improving digestion, boosting immune function, and aiding in nutrient absorption.
