Applying food as medicine is the foundation of functional medicine. But you don’t have to see a functional medicine doctor to understand how to use food as medicine.
The Pegan Diet was created to help anyone, anywhere, understand the power of nutrition and take steps to move toward better health today.
You ingest pounds of foreign material into your body daily. If all calories were the same, it would not matter what you ate. But they are not.
Food carries information molecules, instructions, and code that programs your biology with every bite for better or worse.
Industrial food drives inflammation, triggers oxidative stress, promotes imbalances in hormone and brain chemistry, overloads your detoxification system, depletes your energy, damages your microbiome, and changes your gene expression to turn on disease-causing genes.
Real, whole nutrient and phytonutrient-rich food does the opposite—turns off inflammation, increases antioxidant systems, balances hormones and brain chemistry, boosts detoxification, increases energy, optimizes your microbiome, and turns on disease-preventing health-promoting genes.
Food impacts all these core systems or networks in the body. The Pegan Diet combines the latest science of food as medicine and strategies to optimize these systems into a practical way of eating for life.
