Are you ready to take charge of your nutrition?

In today's episode of the Health Quest podcast, Dr. Sal is once again joined by special guest Dr. Joshua Henk for a deep dive into the impact of nutrition on our overall health.

With a master's degree in nutrition, Dr. Henk talks about where nutrition starts: with our soil. He shares the concept of sustainability in nutrition and explores how our food choices not only affect our bodies but also the world around us. From the quality of our soil to the health of our gut microbiome, we uncover the various factors that contribute to optimal nutrition. 

Dr. Sal shares his perspective on nutrition, which he calls "God's diet" or a variation of the paleo diet. He emphasizes the significance of consuming whole, unprocessed foods and incorporating a variety of vegetables into your meals.

From sustainable eating habits to the importance of gut health, we're uncovering the secrets to nourishing your body from the inside out. Discover how what you put in your mouth, eyes, ears, and even on your skin can affect your well-being.

Key takeaways:

1. Nutrition is more than just what we eat. It also encompasses what we see, hear, inhale, and put on our skin. These factors can either create interference or provide nutrition for our body to grow healthy again.
2. Sustainability is crucial when it comes to nutrition. We not only need to consider what is sustainable for our own bodies but also what is sustainable for the world. Something as simple as changing the way we consume food, like using chopsticks instead of disposable cutlery, can have a positive impact on reducing plastic waste.
3. The health of our gut is vital for proper nutrition absorption. Eating healthy food and taking supplements may not be effective if our gut cannot process them. We need to prioritize gut health by addressing gut biome and removing any interference in order to optimize nutrient absorption and overall health.
