Mystery Injuries And Low Hanging Fruit…
The term “low hanging fruit” means the task that’s most easily achieved. When it comes to mystery injuries - and at least half of you will know what I mean by that - the low hanging fruit is just to make sure you’re eating correctly and supplementing when necessary… The fruit at the top of the mystery injury tree is surgery…
“One NFL player I ended up treating had experienced debilitating shoulder pain for years and had two surgeries as a result, all to little or no effect. Upon testing his vitamin D levels, it became clear that he was severely deficient. Six weeks after taking vitamin D, his shoulder pain was non existent. He had two surgeries for no reason…” ~ A top sports scientist in the US who wished to remain anonymous…
Woken up with shoulder / knee / whatever pain for no apparent reason? Ask yourself: Are you getting everything you need? Has your current diet / nutrition plan stood the test of time? And by that I mean have multiple generations - so at least 5 - thrived on it. Any diet or nutrition plan without this evidence behind it should be viewed / used with a certain amount of caution…
Diets from around the world that meet this standard all - that’s ALL of them! - share four common components:

- They all include meat cooked on the bone
- They all include organ meats
And if we go back a few generations, it’s likely that they’d also share:
- Significantly lower sugar intake than modern times
- Significantly less vegetable oil consumption than modern times
“It was those malfunctioning genes of mine, again. Shortly after moving to Hawaii, I developed another musculoskeletal problem. But this one was different from all the others. This time no doctor, not even five different specialists, could tell me what it was. And it didn’t go away. A year after I developed the first stinging pain in my knee I could no longer walk more than a few feet without getting feverish…
… After reading every old fashioned cookbook I could get my hands on, and enough biochemistry to understand the essential character of traditional cuisine, I changed everything about the way I ate. For me, eating in closer accordance with historical human nutrition corrected some of my damaged epigenetic programming. I got fewer colds, less heartburn, improved my moods, lost my belly fat, had fewer headaches, And increased my mental energy. And my swollen knee got better…” ~ Dr Cate Shanahan, author of Deep Nutrition
Good health isn’t random. Problems emerge when you don’t get something you need one too many times…
