The BioSpectral Systems Diet/Nutrition Philosophy

Our Philosophy on Diet and Nutrition for Longevity

We believe in embracing a dietary approach that supports longevity through conscious, quality choices: Eat seasonally, opt for wild and line-caught fish, select snap-frozen seafood when necessary, choose organically grown and grass-fed/finished animal produce, and prioritize foods low in deuterium. Our philosophy emphasizes the importance of limiting inflammation and avoiding high levels of omega-6-rich foodstuffs, keeping fructose and carbohydrate intake in check, and focusing on omega-3-rich protein sources. We also advocate for the minimal use of foods that are known to cause nutrient depletion or loss in the gut. Rather than relying solely on macro or micronutrient profiles to guide dietary decisions, we encourage a more intuitive and environmentally attuned approach: Choose what naturally grows or is raised in your local environment, as these foods should form the foundation of your diet. This philosophy respects the rhythms of nature and aligns nutritional intake with the body's innate needs and environmental cues.

Food is light and water in storage. Let me explain. Food grows via photosynthesis and photosynthesis requires plants to use their magnesium loaded chlorophyll molecules in their leaves to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water from their roots into sugars, fats and oxygen to be eaten and breathed by animals and humans. Humans reverse the process. We take in sugars, fats and proteins, breathe in the oxygen and through our carbon and iron based hemoglobin, melanin and mitochondria make carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP). Humans/animals and plants are designed to be a coupled system. So if that is the case then what happens to an orange tree if you put a tarp over it? It dies. And what happens if you starve a tree of water? It dies. And what is the #1 substance on planet earth and in our human living system? H2O. and What gives everything energy on this planet? The Sun. So light's interaction with water within a biologic system is a very important process of understanding how life stores energy and information. And from this energy and information minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and so on emerge. So I ask again, what is food? Light and water in storage.

Just in case you missed it: Did you know chlorophyll in plants and hemoglobin in our blood has almost the identical chemical structure... The only difference is that we use iron in our molecules and plants use magnesium! Isn't nature a beautiful genius!?

So when we consume food, it is broken down into its subatomic particles, electrons and protons. And these feed into the mitochondria within our cells to make energy and water for our bodies. Did you ever wonder why in high school science the process by which the entire body generates energy was called “Electron Transport”? Not protein, lipid or glucose transport, but "Electron" transport. And what are the most fundamental things we know about electrons from our good friend Albert Einstein? Electrons only interact with light! Ok so now we know that light interacts with waters electrons to create food and when we eat the food, we extract that light off the electron into our mitochondria in our stomachs and GI tract to provide energy and information to our living system to organize it as per the energy and instructions within those electrons.

Now, I know your heads might be hurting already, but please bear with me as I finish up the story - We all know that sleep is foundational to health and we all know the foundation of sleep is our circadian rhythm, which says that we need to be awake and exposed to light during the day and asleep and night with absolute darkness. So if we experience bright light on our eyes and skin after sunset this messes up our circadian rhythm, which impacts our sleep, which impacts our health and longevity. Ok. So then if food is a light signal when we consume it, why would unpacking light inside our bodies when it's dark outside be a smart idea? It isn't. Food is designed to be eaten during the day. And how many people break this fundamental rule for decades and end up with gout, chrons, leaky gut, SIBO, or a Colon Cancer that they are told is genetic?

Ok, to really nail the point home for y'all - Plants do not move, they are plugged into a specific part of the earth and either do well or don't. If they do well and fruit, then the fruit has the exact light and water signature of that specific location. This means that the instructions within this food have optimized longevity for that specific environment and all living beings within that environment to best thrive under the same environmental living conditions. So, eating food from a different location to the one you live in, and unpacking this energy and information inside our bodies from that foreign food, will lead to a circadian mismatch and result in inflammation, if this goes on long enough, allergies, digestive issues, and oxidative stress takes hold leading to the creation of chronic disease. If a person in Wisconsin at the 40th latitude decides to eat a banana grown in Brazil from their local food store their skin and eyes are receiving one energy and information signal, and their stomach and gut is receiving a dramatically conflicting light signal... and so the gut issues begin... malabsorption.... low digestive enzyme or bile production... poor detoxification in the liver... gallstones... and so on can result... Just because you can buy a coconut, banana, mango, cucumber, watermelon or orange at your local supermarket, doesn't mean you should be eating it. That's right, organic, wild grown fruit and vegetables can cause digestive issues if it's eaten away from its light context.

So the next time an 'expert' tells you about what food is healthy for you, or what diet will extend your longevity the most, or what nutritional component will repair your gut issues, remember, if they cannot explain the light and water context of that particular food, diet or nutritional recommendation, kindly make your way to your local farmers market and ask them what is grown in the farm closest to your location, what is organically grown and what is in season. If in doubt go for purple, blue and green fruits and vegetables and fruits in the winter and more orange, yellow and red fruits and vegetables in the summertime. 

Happy light and water, happy gut.
