Food is a Signaling Substance: Why Processed Foods are Harmful to Health

The definition of the word whole is “a thing that is complete in itself.” When we eat foods in their whole form we get all nutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in perfect balance. These compounds act synergistically to orchestrate all reactions in our bodies. When some nutrients are missing, the body cannot function properly, and when many nutrients are missing for an extended period of time, the body can become diseased. Obesity, chronic inflammation, food allergies, infertility, and many other diseases stem from the body being starved of essential nutrients lacking in a processed foods diet. The chemical composition of food, its vitamins and phytonutrients, sends signals to our cells designating how the genes will express themselves; this means that every time we eat we tell our bodies which genes to turn on, and which genes to turn off. Did you know that there is more gene expression within two hours after eating than any other time of the day?

Eat a Whole Foods Diet for Longevity and Improved Quality of Life

Your body is composed of over 30 trillion cells, each of which is continually listening and responding to environmental signals. Your cells have antennas embedded in their cellular membranes. This is how your cells listen, relay messages to your DNA, and respond to your environment by activating biochemical processes. The food you eat carries information, which the antennas sense, and then tell your cells how to behave. You either turn on your anti-aging, disease-prevention, and anti-inflammatory pathways or you turn on your inflammatory, aging, and disease pathways with every bite of food.

Change Begins with You: How to Restore Health

Yesterday evening, I taught another live cooking class on the anti-inflammatory diet, and as always, it was an incredible experience to connect with so many people in person. It’s inspiring to witness the motivation and commitment in the room as individuals step forward to reclaim their health through food. Whether someone is just beginning their journey or has been fine-tuning their diet for years, the process of making dietary shifts is both deeply personal and transformative. These classes remind me that healing isn’t just about learning new recipes—it’s about stepping into a new way of being, one that aligns with the health, energy, and vitality we all seek. But making these changes isn't always easy. Letting go of familiar foods and habits can feel like shedding an old identity, especially when certain foods have been a daily part of life for years—or even decades.
