Health is more than just the absence of disease and it starts with how we nourish our bodies. Learn how clean, organic eating effects your WHOLE health!

1. EAT CLEAN. EAT GREEN.
EAT ORGANIC.
PRESENTED BY: DR. MICHAEL SUPLICKI
THE WINCHESTER INSTITUTE OF CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH & WELLNESS

2. health is a state of complete
physical, chemical and social well-being and
not merely the absence of disease.
-Dorland’s Medical Dictionary
HEALTH IS NOT A SYMPTOM.
BODY IN BALANCE.
EATING ORGANIC AND HOW IT RELATES TO HEALTH IS A COMPREHENSIVE EVENT.

3. WHAT WEARS US DOWN AND CAUSES DIS-EASE
STOP DEFINING YOUR HEALTH BY HOW YOU FEEL
INFLAMMATION
-classical vs cellular
-sickness
-dis-ease
Micro &
Macro
Trauma
Diet
Stress

5. LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Heart Disease
Cancer
Chronic Respiratory
Disease

6. EVERY DAY 130 PEOPLE IN THE US DIE
FROM OVERUSE OF PRESCRIPTION
PAIN KILLERS
• More than 70mill NSAID Rx written
annually
• More than 30bill NSAID (Rx+OTC)
doses consumed/yr
• 16,500 deaths from OTC medication
use for arthritis alone
• 107,000 hospitalized from NSAID-
related gastrointestinal
complications

7. BUT, EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT.
All OTC medications have potentially
serious side effects:
Cardiovascular problems (8,400
individuals monitored for 13y BMJ,
2015)
Increased BP
Increased Atrial Fibrillation by
76%
Gastro problems
Kidney damage
Liver damage
Other forgotten effects:
Suppression of WBCs
Suppression of antibody production
by upwards of 50%
Increased illness longevity

8. A NECESSARY EVIL: ANTIBIOTICS
OUR GUT HOUSES TRILLIONS OF BACTERIA CRITICAL FOR MAINTAINING: IMMUNE, DIGESTIVE, AND BRAIN HEALTH.
• One single course of antibiotics can indiscriminately kill off hundreds of
important strains of healthy bacteria alongside the bad bacteria it aims to
target.
• A Monash University study involving mice, published in the April 2017 issue of
the Journal of Leukocyte Biology, finds that childhood antibiotic use impedes
the normal growth and development of gut bacteria, contributing to
life-long complications and auto-immune disorders.
• For the study, the researchers treated female mice with antibiotics. The
scientists found that immune cells from the antibiotic-treated mice induced a
significantly more severe and rapidly forming disease than those from the
untreated mice.

9. PROCESSED FOODS
MAKE UP 63% OF OUR
CALORIES
“HUNGRY FOODS” ARE
LOADED WITH
PRESERVATIVES, OILS,
SUGARS, AND REFINED
GRAINS

10. OUR DEADLY WESTERN
(AMERICAN) DIET
• On average, a typical
American adult can
attribute 1,000 calories per
day to added fats and
sweeteners!
• In fact, 38% of adults in the
U.S. consume
fruits less than 1x per day,
and less than 22% report
eating vegetables daily.

11. START REAL, PROGRESS TO MORE ORGANIC
1. More real, whole foods
2. More color, more variety (7+ servings per
day)
3. Organic when you can
4. Macronutrient needs
5. Meal timing and the insulin
connection
6. Garbage in, garbage out

12. PREPARED VS. HUNGER
Fruits
Vegetables
Whole grains
Healthy fats
Lean proteins
Reduce insulin
Reduce inflammation
Reduce oxidative stress
Fast foods
Prepacked foods
Cookies
Crackers & chips
Juice & Soda
Increase insulin
Increase inflammation
Increase oxidative stress
**Damaging to cells**

13. IT’S ALL ABOUT INSULIN
SUGAR  STOMACH  BLOOD  CELLS ENERGY
HIGH INSULIN= INFLAMMATION + FAT STORAGE

14. GUT HEALTH
Our digestive system is made of 2 thin
linings, comprised of over100 million
nerve cells.
Neurotransmitters communicate to the
brain.
Insulin stimulating foods on a chronic
(meal-to-meal) basis, damage our internal
gut health and the health of its lining,
making the communication between the
brain and gut dysfunctional.

15. SEROTONIN
SER·O·TO·NIN- A NEUROTRANSMITTER THAT
REGULATES SLEEP, APPETITE, MOOD, & INHIBITS PAIN.
95% OF SEROTONIN IS PRODUCED IN THE GUT (YOUR GI TRACT)

16. DON’T PLAY YOUR MIND GAMES WITH ME
Your cells and the brain’s reward center
go crazy when we ingest sweet,
artificial or not.
Sweetness is associated with
ENERGY. Energy requires insulin.
No ENERGY shows up, so your BRAIN
stimulates your appetite.

17. THE PREVALENCE OF GMO FOODS IN OUR DIET
• Over 60 countries currently regulate, or
ban GMOs.
• The U.S. desperately lags behind.
• Most common GMO foods today:
• Corn: 90% GMO
• Soy: 94% GMO
• Canola: 90% GMO
• Milk: 40-50% GMO
• Sugar: 95% GMO
• Zucchini: 90% GMO
According to the Institute for
Responsible Technology, genetically
modified soy and corn may be at the
root of gluten intolerance.

18. CONVENTIONAL WAYS
• Greater yield, mass production, cheaper
• Conventional farming relies on the use
of:
• Synthetic chemical fertilizers
• Chemical-based species invasion
control
• Genetically modified organism
• Depleted soil nutrient concentration
• Lowers nutrient content of produce

19. ORGANIC PRODUCE RESEARCH
LESS THAN 1% OF FARMLAND IN THE US IS ORGANIC.
• Organic crops have a 18-69% higher
concentration of antioxidant activity.
• Cardiovascular disease
• Neurodegenerative diseases
• Cancers
• Organic crops provide greater levels of:
• Vitamin C
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus
• Lower nitrate levels

20. ORGANIC PRODUCE RESEARCH
LESS THAN 1% OF FARMLAND IN THE US IS ORGANIC.
• Organic meat, milk and dairy have higher
concentrations of:
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids
• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
• Iron
• Alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E)- a fat soluble vitamin and
potent antioxidant that is believed to be important in
protecting cells from oxidative stress & regulating
immune function.
• CLA is a natural polyunsaturated fat that protects our
heart, reduces body fat, & lowers cancer risk.

21. 100% Organic: Must contain 100% organically
produced ingredients (excluding water and salt). This is the only
label that certifies a completely organic product AND completely
GMO-free ingredients.
Certified Organic / USDA
Organic:At least 95% of content is organic by weight
(excluding water and salt). The <5% remaining ingredients must
consist of substances approved on the USDA’s National List.
GMOs are NOT on this list, so USDA Organic products are
also usually GMO-free.

22. PRODUCE STICKERS OR PLU
4 Numbers: produce was grown conventionally w/ pesticides, fertilizers.
5 Numbers: starts with 8, GMO.
5 Numbers: starts with 9, grown organically.
“8 I hate, 9 is fine.”

23. FOOD ALLERGIES: ON THE RISE
In 2008, the CDC reported an 18% increase in food allergies among children between 1997
and 2007.
Just 6 years later, in 2013 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated food allergies
among children increased approximately 50% between 1997 and 2011… a 32% increase in
just 4 years.
The US economic cost of children’s food allergies is nearly $25 billion per year.
-Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol, 2012; 109: A1-A162.

“7 children under 4 overdosed on vitamin
D because of a manufacturing error”
-Pediatrics Journal, 2015
