We are heading into the exciting season of fall, which also means a lot of really nutritious and delicious fresh fruits and vegetables to feast on. Most of these fruits and vegetables won’t be found during the rest of the year; thus their inclusion into our diet this season is what many define as seasonal eating.
Think back to your grandparents and parents, who were living in a time without the supermarkets and grocery stores of our time, you will find that they inadvertently followed the practice of seasonal eating. They grew a lot of their food; they had huge gardens and farms to plant and harvest fruits and vegetable at a particular time of the year.
That was the pattern that they ate in and religiously followed for their daily meals. Nowadays when we go to our grocery store, we can get pretty much anything available all year round, irrespective of the season.
For e.g., Strawberries wouldn’t typically be available in the month of winter; however, today you can find them all year long at your nearby grocery store. Hence, we are no longer forced to eat seasonally as our ancestors did.
Although most prefer eating irrespective of the season, not many are aware of the benefits that come from eating seasonally.
Firstly, the fruits and vegetable harvested in season typically taste better. If you pick up anything fresh like a peach off of a tree and compare it to the one you bought from a store, you will notice a drastic change in the taste of that peach. When you harvest something during its season, it will taste better.
Secondly, when you eat something close to harvest time, then you are getting the nutritional value from that piece of fruit or vegetable. A lot of our food comes not only from out of state from where we live but also out of the country. So when that fruit and vegetable is harvested, it takes 1-3 days to travel to its destination.
When it comes to a supermarket, it will sit there for 2-3 days more before it is bought. Once bought it may sit in your fridge for more days before finally being consumed.
So a lot of the stuff you buy from the grocery store may have very well lost its original nutritional value. The longer the time gets, the more the fruits and vegetable’s decline in their nutrient density. That is why eating seasonally is way more beneficial than eating out of season. It is always good to get food closest to where you stay. If you know farmers or neighbors who cultivate fruits and vegetable, it is advisable to get it from them.
Another reason to eat seasonally is because it is actually cheaper. For e.g., If you go to buy Strawberries in the summer, you will find a container for about $2, which is pretty cheap. However, if we go to buy the same container in December, it will cost up to $6 per container. This price inflation is because these strawberries are out of season, and the strawberries are being brought in from a farther distance than your locality.
As we head into fall, there are a lot of delicious fruits and vegetables are coming into season right now. This is the season winter squash like acorn squash, pumpkins, etc. These foods are a very rich source of Vitamin C and Antioxidants and should be consumed this season to increase our body’s vitamin C levels. They are the perfect food to incorporate in our diet as we head into the cold and flu season.
Another great fruit to come out in fall is the apple. Apples are shown to boost your immunity. Right now is the apple harvest season, and if you have an apple orchard near, go and pick it up. You can have an apple raw, and also create some mouthwatering delicacies out of it like an apple pie.
Final Thoughts
Apart from the above-mentioned food, this is also the season of Kale, sweet potatoes, turnips, root vegetables, mustard green, etc. A lot of these will become a great source of nutrition for your body this fall. Try to incorporate them in your diet; make sure to pick them up from your grocery store. A lot of these foods will contain nutritional punch that cannot be found in them any other season of the
year. Jump on the opportunity, and increase the nutrient density of your body.

Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
