ACES Health Forum #1
Sugar. Finding Balance Between Health and Joy
American healthcare is at a crossroads. While science and technology have enabled remarkable breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment, chronic disease, emotional suffering, medical overreach, and public mistrust have never been more widespread.
Our nation is over-medicated, under-nourished, and spiritually depleted — not for lack of knowledge, but for lack of a guiding model that sees the whole person.
Examining sugar from four dimensions of the human body
Beginning from the superficial layers of the human body—bones, organs and tissues—and diving deeper into the metabolism, the energy and the behavioral health that shape our relationship with sugar.
Relationship between SUGAR, obesity and metabolic diseases
Diabetes was virtually nonexistent in the XIX century. The estimate of the percentage of the population that was diabetic was roughly 1 in 10,000. Today it's 1 in 11.
Uncovering prevention strategies as a cure
To preventing chronic disease we need to understand the interconnection between nutrition, metabolism, inflammation, and immunity. Imbalance in one will wreak havoc in with the other three.
