Every House Needs a good Foundation
Our bodies are like vehicles; they need to be kept well-maintained. In order to do that, the right fuel and attention needs to be paid. Jodi talks about getting the right fuels, the right balance, and how to find out what your body needs this week!
00:30 – We begin this week by talking about Jodi’s specialties over the course of her 30 year career. The inspiration comes herbology, naturopathy, hair analysis and more! We discuss where to find Jodi, her experience, and how she can help people. Certainly there are many people over the last 30 years that know first-hand how Jodi is able to help.
It’s not just with nutrition either, Back to Nature also offers organic food at a price that sometimes beats the normal produce prices in stores. Everyone should be able to afford to feed good food to their bodies.
Congratulations to Back to Nature on 25 years of great service!!
04:47 – Jodi talks about how chemicals on our food, the genetic modifications (gmo), and more leech nutrients from the food. This means our bodies are lacking in these nutrients as well. Not only that, it can “confuse the body” causing other issues.
It confuses the body, is what happens, and that’s why people start getting imbalance because it’s just a strange thing to put in the body.” – Jodi Harris (6:02)
6:50 – The mineral mixture matters! The ratios matter! How can you find out what your body needs? Well, one way is by taking advantage of the magic of hair analysis. For each hair analysis, you would get a booklet back telling about the status of your body’s health as well as making predictions for complications and suggestions for how to fix it. The booklet is really, pretty in depth.
“It will show and indicate way before a blood test will…” Jodi Harris (10:50)
11:12 – Jodi mentions Dr. Lawrence Wilson and what he has said about ways to read the body and why he recommends mineral analysis. One of the methods is iridology, or the reading of the eyes, and then there’s tissue mineral analysis. But it’s important, no matter the method. However, using the right methods can also detect toxic metals; a growing problem.
“The tissue minerals in the hair are actually like a window into the cells. Basically the tissue mineral analysis provides information in the cells which is the main site of nutritional metabolism.” -Jodi Harris (12:16)
13:55 – The imbalances caused by not having the right balance or amount of nutrients can really wreak havoc on a body. From mood swings to fatigue, people can really suffer from a lack of the right fuel for their bodies. A common issue is trying to take one mineral to solve an issue without realizing that the mineral family needs each other to be properly digested and used by the body.
“…Because you never see potassium hanging on a tree all by itself. I mean it has an array of balanced minerals.” – Jodi Harris (15:20)
15:45 – Ratios are seriously an important aspect of how much in minerals to take! Jodi talks about the different measurements and mixtures to help affect positive change where it’s wanted in the body. At one point, she even gives the “Life and Death” ratio… spooky! Jodi goes on to discuss how the thyroid is like the body’s battery and the adrenals would be like the alternator. The thyroid and adrenals in the body are overlooked a lot much to the detriment of many… especially as we age!
19:10 – Jodi also talks about oxidation speeds in the body and how that can affect daily life. Apparently, if your body oxidizes quickly then more fuel is going to be necessary. Again, the “little things” can really make a huge difference. Jodi compared the body to a racecar stating that “if you don’t maintain your race car, you’ll either blow up your engine or hit the wall.” It’s all about building that sturdy foundation.
“If you’re a fast oxidizer, you should be eating a lot of healthy fats like avocados and nuts. And if you’re slow, you should really minimalize those kinda’ things because the fast oxidizer needs rocket fuel. Where the slow oxidizer… mmmm…. Not so much.” – Jodi Harris (23:14)
24:00 – Jodi discusses how there are symptoms of different mineral deficiencies hiding in plain sight everyday. Just in the nails, symptoms could range from white specks in the nails, brittleness, breaking, and more and all of it indicates a possible mineral deficiency. (Get that zinc and copper!!)
Getting that nutrition from nature is the best way to get it! Jodi and Genneca took a moment to be in awe over some of nature’s gifts, including honey! Next week, be on the lookout for a Naturally Speaking segment to talk more in depth about how amazing bee products can be for the body!
