We often wonder why we get sick and consider it normal to have a cold, the flu, and so on, and we worry about germs.
I do not believe in this reality. My understanding and belief is that our bodies are meant to live to be around 120 with little sickness if we properly take care of them. Few in our society do
or even know what that means
It also involves not using the current western medical system
What causes sickness? Diet lifestyle, and emotions. Genetics is not a significant factor, and it can be overcome.
One of the things we are working towards at Healing Ponds is teaching people how to grow their own food, become self-sufficient, maintain a healthy diet, and engage in deep emotional work, also known as shadow work.
And have a strong connection to source
Part of the problem is the collapse of nutrient density
A century ago, a single apple contained far more vitamins and minerals than three do today.
Why? Because our soil has been stripped of life.
Modern agriculture feeds plants, not ecosystems.
Synthetic fertilizers make crops look healthy, but they grow in biologically dead soil — missing the microbes that create the vitamins, enzymes, and trace minerals our bodies depend on.
What we’ve gained in volume and convenience, we’ve lost in vitality.
And when the soil starves, we starve — slowly, silently, at the cellular level.
The Rise of Metabolic Confusion
It doesn’t stop there.
Ultra-processed foods and constant snacking have disrupted our metabolism's natural rhythm.
Our bodies are designed for cycles of nourishment and rest — but modern eating habits train them to be constantly flooded with sugar, insulin, and inflammation.
Cells that were designed to thrive on balance now live in chaos:
Nutrient receptors dull.
Mitochondria falter.
Fatigue becomes normal.
Mood, focus, and immunity decline.
We mistake calories for nutrition, and fullness for nourishment.
The Holistic View: Food as Communication
In holistic health, food isn’t just fuel — it’s information.
Every bite tells your body what to do: repair or decay, build or break down, calm or inflame.
When you eat foods grown in living soil, rich in natural compounds, you’re not just feeding yourself — you’re participating in a living ecosystem that sustains you in return.
When you eat industrially processed food, you’re consuming the silence of that system — food without memory, without wisdom, without resonance.
What Real Nutrition Looks Like
Proper nourishment means restoring the conversation between the soil, the cell, and the self.
It means learning:
How to source and prepare foods that still carry their original vitality.
How to balance macronutrients with the right minerals and cofactors.
How to eat in rhythm with your body’s natural metabolic flow.
