Future Blogs
Health Revival Partners is a root-cause health education, disease prevention, and disease reversal program. We focus on mechanisms of disease. Our first set of blogs will use these 26 causes of hunger to help you understand your body, overcome hunger and, more importantly, improve or optimize your health.
Here are a couple of KEY concepts I hope you all take away from this information:
You are NOT what you eat - you ARE what you ABSORB
Calories are not just calories just like our car isn't only about gasoline. Repair and recovery is as or more important compared to energy if you want a long and healthy life.
Whenever you make a decision, always ask yourself "Where did I learn that?" Make sure the information you use is founded in solid knowledge before moving forward.
Get Inspired to improve or maintain your health!
Stay or Get Well.
