Some providers prescribe intuitive eating and an “all foods fit” approach. And yet, for some patients, this prescription is difficult to manage. Thanks to a daily dosing of processed foods and treats, trying to stay within the limits of hunger and fullness can be problematic.

And yet today, we are beginning to understand that most of our chronic mental and physical health issues today stem from the health of the powerhouse of our cells.athlete
