“The nutritarian diet inherently is what would be the right dietary portfolio to maximally slow aging, prevent cancer, dementia, heart disease, strokes, and enable a human to live past 100 years old in excellent health.”

“Nutritarian diet is focused on the micro-nutrient density and comprehensive exposure to the micro-nutrients so that with with micro-nutrient excellence, it naturally suppresses the desire to over-consume calories.”

“It’s pretty fascinating how the body has such a miraculous ability to reverse disease when you establish an optimal environment for healing.”
