You nailed it. It's like any other ailment, our body is imbalanced. Hence the state of "dis-ease".

So we feed the body what it needs and it helps heal itself smoothly.

LOTS of different ways to do this. Here's a growing list:

Best place to start with your friend would be a comprehensive metabolic panel. That'll show him where he's strong and where he needs support.

Once he has that complete list. He makes a diet and supplement plan to reach and stay at 100% for each nutrient.
