You're Not What You Eat — You're What You Absorb

By Trish Mangold, HHP, CMH, CNC, CA Director of Health Sciences for Harmoneum & Founder of Elevate Vitality, The Mangold Method™

We're constantly told to eat clean, go organic, and take our supplements. Yet, millions still battle persistent fatigue, hormonal chaos, stubborn fat, brain fog, and seasonal stress – even when "doing everything right." The crucial truth is: You're not what you eat; you're what your cells can absorb, utilize, and metabolize.

Many feel frustrated when blood tests come back "normal," but they still feel awful. That's because bloodwork only shows what's circulating, not what's actually entering your mitochondria, glands, and detox pathways. Your cells can be starving even with "perfect labs," leading to hidden deficiencies, toxicity, and nervous system dysregulation that standard tests miss.

Myth-Busting Genetics: Your Power to Influence Health

You might believe your genes are fixed, but that's a myth! Only 7% of your genes are truly fixed; the other 93% are influenced by your choices, lifestyle, and environment – this is the science of epigenetics. With modern insight and DNA-driven precision nutrition, you can finally identify genetic vulnerabilities, nourish specific pathways, and turn on genes that promote energy and vitality, transforming your genetic "weaknesses" into superpowers.

The Holiday Health Tax: Why You Feel So Drained

During the holidays, many fall into a "Holiday Dysregulation Loop" of emotional overload, excess sugar, alcohol, poor sleep, and stress. This toxic cocktail triggers a cascade of emotional outbursts, nervous system dysregulation, stubborn weight gain, bloating, weakened immunity, and hormonal chaos. Your symptoms aren't random; they're your body's clear messages calling you back into rhythm.

10 Ways to Build Resilience to the Holiday Tax

Don't let the holidays derail your well-being! Here are simple, science-backed strategies to thrive:

• Pair Fats with Treats: Eat healthy fats (avocado, EVOO, grass-fed butter) with alcohol, sugar, and carbs to slow glucose absorption and prevent energy crashes.
• Order Your Meals: Eat fiber/vegetables first, then protein and healthy fat, with carbs/sugar last. A 10-20 minute walk after your largest meal helps burn glucose.
• Metabolism-Boosting Foods: Focus on grass-fed meats, fermented foods, apple cider vinegar, and dark chocolate to stabilize hormones and blood sugar.
• Nourish Your Microbiome: Support gut diversity with greens, crucifers, berries, and bone broth. A healthy gut means better mood, immunity, and nutrient absorption.
• Hydrate with Beam Minerals: Replenish essential minerals and electrolytes (use code MANGOLD at www.beamminerals.com) for detoxification, energy, mood, and nervous system regulation.
• The 4-2-1 Fasting Rhythm: Implement a flexible fasting schedule to deplete stored glucose and reset your system, boosting cellular health and longevity.
• Regulate Your Nervous System: Combat stress with extra Beam Minerals at night, castor oil packs for deeper sleep, and conscious breaks in nature.
• Boost Sleep Naturally: Get morning sunlight exposure without sunglasses to stimulate melatonin.
• Vagus Nerve Breathwork: Practice 4-7-8 breathing before meals and bedtime, or Box Breathing, to calm your nervous system and improve digestion.
• Gift the Power of Your DNA: Stop guessing! SNiP Nutrition offers custom, whole-food-based formulas based on your unique genetics, turning on healthy genes and addressing vulnerabilities like detox pathways, inflammation, and hormone regulation.
