As a nation we are getting fatter and more diseased. We are fighting a battle. And we’re losing. Any chance that the government has to step in and really make life altering recommendations has come and gone time and time again without any major changes.
Forget our government’s “Food pyramid.” It’s a failure and a blatant commercial designed to sell you on eating grains. The food pyramid, and other “public service initiatives” are produced by the USDA, but have no real benefit to you, me, or any other American.
In the same way the FDA is a servant to Big Pharma, the USDA is a mouthpiece for the grain industry.
And if you actually followed the food pyramid, you would end up sick and diseased.
But the problem goes deeper.
You, as a human being, have nutritional needs that come from millions of years of growth, development, and evolution.
For one, you were designed to eat meat. There is no record of ANY native culture living on vegetables alone.
You were also designed for the regular intake of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D3, E, and K2. This is what I call your “primal nutrition.”
Primal nutrition reflects your evolutionary needs.
It’s what every human being needs to thrive in a balanced environment, and it’s the foundation of my own Nutrition Pyramid.
At this point, you may be asking why you need a Nutrition Pyramid. Nutrition should come from your food, right? And in a perfect world that’s what would happen.
And it’s what happened for most of human existence. The problem is that we’re not getting those same nutrients today. Our environment has changed. Our food has changed. We’ve turned over food production to third-party producers that don’t have nutrition and your health as their primary goal. Of course, their primary goal is to make a profit — and not to get you the nutrients that you are designed for.
So, I devised this system for you and my patients. Because you’re not getting help from the government and you’re not getting help from the average physician who thinks that nutrients are all in your food and you don’t need any nutritional supplements. I can easily prove that’s not true.
We all came from hunter-gatherer environments. We all evolved over a long period of time to expect certain nutrients in our food. That’s what determines what we can produce intrinsically in our bodies and what we have to have extraneous or introduced in the food.
Now that is a problem for us. Because the nutrition that we used to get — that our body is built for — is not the same nutrition that we get now.
To correct this, we have to build a new pyramid for optimal health. One that doesn’t ignore the basis of
health — which is the natural nutrition that you should get.
That’s why I created my Nutrition Pyramid.
As you can see, the base of my pyramid is a category called Primal. We have a certain requirement for the macronutrients in our food. But our food today is nutrient poor.
Even our vegetables have far fewer minerals than they did just 50 years ago. You know you would have to eat 26 of today’s apples to equal just one apple from 1914.(1)
We also consume a lot more carbohydrate and less fat and a different kind of fat and carbohydrate compared to what our primal ancestors ate.
That’s where a lot of the paleo diets come in. And that’s where Adkins made an advance in saying that Americans were fat — not because they ate too much fat but because they ate too much carbohydrate.
It’s a primal correction or fixing the mismatch between our modern world and the prototypical world that we are built for.
I’d include your daily multivitamin in this category. It’s like your insurance that you’re getting your basic needs.
Let me put that primal requirement into perspective.
I personally am a plant lover. I have grown plants for my entire life since I was a child. And I can’t help but notice that here in Florida, I can drop a seed in the ground and grow a royal palm wonderfully well.
It grows fast it has no nutritional deficiencies. I don’t have to do a thing to it. I don’t have to fertilize it. I don’t have to water it. I don’t have to augment the soil. It is perfectly designed for the environment that it lives in. It evolved here in Florida. It evolved to perfectly match whatever it finds in the soil.
When I first moved to my house, there were some yellow Chinese fan palms there. Nobody knew what they were. They said, “Well they’ve always been like that. They don’t grow. They’re stunted. They’re diseased.”
All I had to was put some magnesium in the soil. And they turned green and came back. Why?
The Chinese fan palm requires additional supplements, or it will wither and die. Because that’s the environment that it’s built for.
We’re the same.
We are built for a certain environment, and we decided we didn’t like that environment. We created a new one. So, you have to know what’s different in the modern world and how to use nutritional supplements to get that back in order to build the basis of good health.
That’s why Primal is the fundamental level of the pyramid that we all should be doing.

Ortho is the next level. And the next reason I think you should take a supplement.
In addition to lacking nutrients that we had in our primal prototypical world, we’ve also added additional things to our modern world that causes problems that we are not built to handle.
For instance, we now have heavy metals. We have cadmium and lead and mercury in our food.
That causes problems. And rather than wait until it produces a disease then treat it with drugs, you can correct it with nutrition.
For instance, we have a lot of oxidation that occurs because of pollutants that are in our environment. These oxidative stressors weren’t always part of our natural environment.
So, to fix that modern problem, you can add supplements that work as antioxidants — like the B vitamins — to correct for that problem.
Ortho is corrective.
Ortho also includes larger doses of primal things — like vitamin C — you’re taking to correct for deficiencies in the environment.

Now let’s go to the next level.
Ultra.
Ultra means above. It’s not taking a supplement to fulfill a primary deficiency or to correct problem from the modern world.
It’s the first level of nutrition that goes beyond just what nature intended for you as “normal.” It’s a category of nutrition with a separate set of goals. In this category will be things like herbs that boost testosterone and nutrients that you can take in a larger quantity that you could possibly get from a native environment that make you secrete growth hormone.
It’s about finding out what makes the body tick and trying to “up the level.”
Ultra is about doing better than normal. It’s an elitist, super-performing science. And it lets you focus on specific performance areas that need attention.
This is where most vitamin manufacturers like to focus their sales pitches.
“This vitamin is going to make you super smart.” “It’s going to make you super strong.” “It’s going to make you super sexy. “Perform better.”
A good example of this would be to boost your brainpower by giving some extra support to a neglected part of the brain called the “glia.”
Brain researchers always thought of glial cells as neurons’ strange assistants. They believed neurons did all the signaling and all the “thinking.”
But new research shows that glial cells do a lot more than just make up the “white matter” of your brain.
Some glial cells act as your brain’s immune cells, some anchor neurons in place, and some clean up waste. Some even help you remember things and learn more as you age, even if your “gray matter,” the other half of your brain cells, shrinks with age.
In a new study in the prestigious journal Nature, researchers looked at 39 healthy people, some young and some elderly. For the older people who had the most flexible glia, learning a new bit of visual information was about as easy as it was for younger people who used only their neurons and gray matter. (2)
So that means that not only do our brains NOT lose their flexibility, but there seems to be a part of your brain that — if you can support it — can help your brain act just like a young person’s for the rest of your life.
Older people with healthy white matter kept their ability to adapt and learn, just in a different brain area than in young people.
A good way to protect your glial cells so they can do their job of removing waste from your brain is with a plant compound called luteolin.
Toxins and pollutants in the modern world assault your body all day with factors that cause inflammation.
They can even hijack enzymes your body normally uses to protect your brain. Luteolin can stop this process cold.
In one study, luteolin almost completely protected glial cells from free-radical damage and inflammation. It also improves memory and helps ease depression.
You can get luteolin from eating celery, green peppers, the herb thyme, and in chamomile and yarrow teas.
There’s also a unique source of luteolin… it’s from the resin bees use to make their honeycombs called propolis. You can find it in most health food stores.
Ultra is about achieving above average or above normal performance — when you’re trying to do better than nature.
And if done appropriately, it can work. It can improve performance. Especially as we age in the normal course of aging and start to experience loss of function, strength and energy. Ultra nutrition supplements can help to replace some of that.

And then we have the last category.
This last category at the top of my pyramid is unique to me and my philosophy of nutrition. It’s using nutrition to affect the way that we age. I call telo-nutrition or telo-nutritioneering.
The knowledge that there’s a control mechanism for genes — the telomere — and the fact that we know chemicals that can control the expression of those genes — the epigenome — gives us a huge opportunity to intervene.
It’s the beginning of an exciting new age in science and medicine.
It also takes the chains off of us and takes walls down in our minds because we’re not just destined to do, “what our genes say.”
Telo-Nutrition is like a movie script that’s not completely written. There are some scenes sketched out, but you get to direct the movie and decide how you want it to come out.
When you learn how to manipulate the control of the progression of your genome through the shortening of the telomere, and the other things that telomerase does, life will get better as you get older.
Activating telomerase and maintaining the telomere activates all kinds of energy mechanisms in the cells. And now that we understand how telomere biology effects genetics, effects the epigenome, effects the aging control mechanism, effects the physiology in the cell, we can use this as an even more sophisticated, more scientifically progressive way of advising you on nutritional supplementation.
We’re at a new level — an entirely new concept of how to use nutrients.
One example here would be the mineral selenium.
The Department of Chemistry at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, researchers were looking into cellular senescence, or what happens to cells when they die. They took liver cells and divided them into three groups. One group got no supplementation, but the other two got infusions of the mineral selenium.
After 3 weeks, the cells that were growing the best were the ones that had gotten selenium supplementation.
After 4 weeks, these cells’ telomeres were significantly longer than normal.
Plus, not only had selenium turned on expression of the gene that rebuilds the telomere (the hTERT or human telomerase gene), but telomerase production in these cells skyrocketed. (1)
I’ve seen quite a bit of success with this category. Because we can prove that certain supplements activate the enzyme telomerase and rebuilds the shortened telomere. And in that way is reversing that central control mechanism for aging.
And it will make you healthier, without drugs or surgery.


Your body’s strongest defense against aging is sitting in your own DNA. As we age, our cells divide – and our telomeres divide with them, getting shorter every time. Telo X Nano is handcrafted with powerful telomere protectors, keeping aging at bay even at the cellular level.
Telo X Nano is the complete telomere solution, helping you feel younger for much, much longer.
