Many years ago, a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders began to send me her clients because she had heard that antidepressant medications worked for these patients. I had by then shifted to a more holistic approach, so I told her that before I prescribed antidepressants, I wanted to try some more natural methods. I had discovered that in many cases of eating disorder, there is an underlying biochemical issue - a combination of food sensitivity, blood sugar imbalance and nutrient deficiency. She agreed, her patients cooperated, and we had some excellent, medication-free results. This encouraged me to continue on this natural path as I have to this day. Here are some of my discoveries, as well as subsequent research by others in this growing field.
As a guest at Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort & Spa you'll enjoy a memorable resort-style experience with deluxe accommodations, delicious healthy cuisine, championship golf, luxury spa, recreational activities or simple relaxation – while being immersed in Dr. Fuhrman's health-promoting, life-changing program.
And this is the same point Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (Gift of Health Press, 2008), tried to hammer home during an in-person interview yesterday. To live your best, lose weight, and help prevent cancer and other common “American” diseases, you have to eat micronutrients, found mostly in leafy green vegetables, and not submit your body to a toxic digestive cycle that ebbs between food addictions and empty calories on a tide of animal products, flours, sugars, salts, and other non-plant-based products.
Develop your mindset and master the art of making choices. The Golden Rule is the most successful place to start if you want to be psychologically healthy at the same time you start transitioning from nutrient poor to Nutrient Rich!
Celebrities sing Dr. Fuhrman’s praises for helping them stay fit and trim, but this physician is determined to arm all Americans with not only the best weapon for battling weight struggles but also for fighting off chronic illnesses like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and others. He has helped countless individuals make dramatic health recoveries through his unique high-nutrient dietary approach each saving thousands of dollars on medications. Dr. Fuhrman’s scientific discovery contributing to this success is that micronutrient adequacy derails food addictions and overeating behavior These disease recoveries, achieved with natural whole foods, prepared deliciously, are inspiring to all and critical to consider in our present crisis of expensive and unaffordable health care.
Nutrient-rich, low-calorie diets actually reprogram fat cells to keep the body thin. Prior animal studies have shown that low-calorie diets rich in valuable nutrients are effective at maintaining proper bodily weight and lengthening life span.
Forget for the moment, all the ins and outs, nuances, and facts and figures that are involved in the art and science of eating nutrient rich foods. For now, just think about feeding your body great tasting foods that fuel your body, and provide the best raw materials to grow and develop.
Now of course, I just had to jump in on this one because the Dairy and Beef Boards have built their whole marketing and PR campaigns on conveying their products as Nutrient Rich foods and they are NOT, at lease by the true Nutrient Rich definition and believe me, allot of time, logic and brain power went into defining what it means to eat "Nutrient Rich".
