Targeted ingredient types for targeted outcomes
Different foods turn different genes on and off. Nourish foods are made with gene-focused ingredients, each carefully chosen for how it activates gene responses that are helpful for specific conditions as well as for overall health and healing. Nourish makes the food-gene-health connections your body needs to function at its best.
Master ingredients are foods rich in specific bioactives. These small substances are found in common herbs, spices and plant-based foods. Bioactives prompt your body to turn on pathways that may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body.
● Examples of Master Ingredients featured on the Nourish Menu include apples, broccoli, and ginger.

Enabler ingredients provide prebiotics and probiotics for a healthy gut. These foods encourage the growth of natural healthy bacteria in your gut and ensure they are fed! Without a healthy gut you cannot absorb the nutrients and bioactive from the food you eat, so your genes have nothing to work with.
● Examples of Enabler Ingredients featured on the Nourish Menu include bananas, fermented foods, and yogurt.
