Nutritional Fun
No one wants to feel confined and restricted
We all want our freedom and want to have fun in life This was a scenario I recently painted for an audience talking about energy science nutrition We talked about this before but bears repeating because this very point resonated so much with the audience and was articulated eloquently by one of the members of the audience
"I'm taking one thing away from your talk tonight," she related "It's that we're not restricted to this format, that these formats that you've shown us are guidelines and not rules That to me is very freeing and takes the pressure off."
Think about it If we restrict ourselves the mind eventually begins thinking "reward" for a job well done Celebrate is the response and usually it's foods that are problematic The boomerang effect is in effect
But what if we don't restrict, but simply choose different foods
And then we reintroduce those foods that are in the no list in the format, for example, PK
And we witness, how do we feel? If we don't feel well, then we have a choice, don't we? We didn't have a choice before, but when we feel bad we have a choice to do it again and not feel as well or make a different choice the next time
Now I think this may sound like a "nutritional Pollyanna" but patients tell me that they notice differences when they eat out of the no column after they have been off those foods for a while There are those who even before they see the nutritional format say they intentionally stay away from certain foods because they make them feel bad
Perhaps we try too hard with this whole nutritional thing Perhaps we should lighten up and have some fun with our mindbodies and ask how them how they feel rather than telling it what we're going to do to them
In this way nutrition becomes something not that we fear but what we enjoy, that is, enjoying our freedom to choose and explore
Have you found that there are certain foods that you naturally avoid? Are they on the no list? Have you ever purposefully ingested those foods to see if you could reproduce those sensations again?

Osteoporosis: The Value of the Energy Science Approach
Older women with healthy bones may not need frequent bone scans http://lat.ms/aAGN4M
This is a great matter science observation but the question oftentimes is why?
Since the matter science medical model doesn't have a way to separate us into uniqueness we are all lumped together, leading the reader of above such reports to be quizzical but left with tucking this information back somewhere as a curiosity
The energy science medical model helps segregate us into Vata Pitta and Kapha energy patterns and creates uniqueness for each of us
So how do we apply our VPK paradigm understanding to the above information?
Kapha, energy pattern of stability, when dominant in the physiology produces strong joints, ligaments and bones We find robust strong athletes as part of this group
Since Kapha dominant men and women have physiologically healthy dense bones, the likelihood of osteoporosis in this population subset is slim and none
Vata dominant men and women have much more proclivity to osteoporosis and osteopenia due to the lightness of frame and bone Vata energy is dominant in the colon where minerals are absorbed and if the colonic mucosa is not absorptive due to Vata imbalances generated over the years, bone problems are likely
Are you a strong well muscled individual? Or are you more light framed? If you're the latter and have not had a bone mineral density, now's the time!

Perfect Nutrition
From an energy science nutritional view there is nothing wrong with foods; it's the consumer of the foods that makes the choice
Sooo… if we the consumers are to use foods as medicine and create for ourselves perfect nutrition then it will require that we stop blaming fast food shops, griping about too much candy for Halloween, complaining about this or that
When we can see that even at times a candy bar can be medicinal or that fast foods are balancing to Vata Pitta once or twice per week then we can appreciate it's not the molecules that are at fault but rather those who are making the choices
Sooo….. the fundamental question is how can we become better choicemakers regarding our nutrition? So that we can enjoy the pleasure of perfect nutrition
The answer is through an energy science nutritional format at foodsheal.com
But what about the drive to have our freedom, to make our own choices, to not be regimented to any one particular format?
To that I respond, "Great!!" The best way to figure out how our choices lead us away from perfect health is to find out how our bodies FEEL when we make choices that are not in alignment with our mindbody makeyup
Then our choices will show us which foods shouldn't be used all the time and those that are more valuable for us For example, I had several pieces of Halloween chocolate last night and today my GI tract told me that I had overdone it But what the heck it was fun and I now know more about what happens when I overdo it
Have you had the experience of eating foods that cause you physical symptoms? Have you made alterations in eating behavior since that time? Do you revisit and see what happens if you do it again?

Energy Patterns and Tissues
From an energy science view Nature is described in terms of the VPK(Vata Pitta Kapha) paradigm Everything can be seen as these energy patterns and they're composed of primary vibrational frequencies or qualities that contribute to their expression in the mindbody
As we have talked about in the past from an energy science view they represent who we are in the world and we're varying proportions of these energy patterns of Vata Pitta and Kapha
in balance there is no excess of these qualities as compared to when we were born; so for example the expression of the mobile or hot qualities in adult life would be the same as when we were children and near perfect balance and health In this way the VPK energy patterns function in such a way as to look literally like tissues due to their manifestation of qualites in all tissues in a balanced way
When we are out of balance or unbalanced, using our example above there's an excess of the qualities of mobile or hot In this way we would see more mobility of thought, movement, and the GI tract as in diarrhea; excessive hot in the GI tract suggesting acid indigestion or heartburn, headache, or inflammatory joint disease
Do you remember illness as a child? Do you remember it as disruption from your state of excellent health? Do you see your health now as less than what it was when you were a child?

Questionnaires for Mindbody Makeup
Everything is energy, just in different flavors
Based on the primordial vibrational frequencies that constitute the fundamental energies found in Nature, the energy science medical model describes everything in Nature in terms of the VPK(Vata Pitta Kapha) paradigm
Since we are part of Nature as biological mindbodies we too exhibit the VPK paradigm in varying proportions
The issue is what proportions do we exhibit? This proportion is best determined by feeling the energy vibrations in the pulse, typically the radial pulse; the feminine pulse best done on the left, male on the right
This is best done by a energy science practitioner but many don't have access to such an assessment so the next best thing is a mindbody questionnaire
The drawback to such an evaluation is that many people have either physiologic imbalance or even stagnant energy that masks the proper interpretation of the VPK paradigm through a questionnaire
Having stated this, it's the best we can do given the circumstances and so understanding this can be quite helpful particularly when there is confusion
So with this caveat in mind, when you do your assessment at foodsheal.com, have a good friend who knows you well to go over the responses to the questions
Also since we are looking for the two dominant energy patterns of VPK there will usually be less likelihood of error
Have you ever had your pulse taken from an energy science medical view? Was it the same as from a questionnaire? Do you make food choices based on your energy makeup?
