Free Monthly Seasonal Eating Guides Challenge Status Quo

BOULDER, Colo. - June 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Boulder, Colorado – June, 2015 – While studying deer, it was discovered that if an herbivore eats foods that are not in season, it causes a drastic shift in the microbiology of the stomach leading to such severe indigestion that it can actually kill the deer.

This intolerance of non-seasonal foods has been shown in cows as well. It’s common practice in today’s cattle and dairy farms to medicate the cows in order to settle the indigestion caused from being fed grain or corn instead of grasses. Although herbivores do not have the same makeup as omnivores, these devastating consequences have Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP questioning the impact eating out of season has on humans.

“When I heard that deer eating out of season can actually die, I thought to myself, wow, I need to get the word out there. We can’t keep ignoring nature’s seasons and expect to stay healthy,” said Ayurvedic expert, Dr. Douillard.   “That’s why I created the free 3-Season Diet Challenge seasonal eating guides. I’m challenging everyone to eat seasonally and watch the health benefits pile up.”

Although the benefits of eating whole foods and getting regular moderate exercise are well known, new research on the seasonal microbiology of the human gut, are revealing the impact gut microbes have on neurotransmitters and long-term weight balancing. Making this research all the more compelling is the news that humans are composed of 90% microbes, with the colloquial line being that “you’re only 10% human”.  The 3-Season Diet Challenge alludes to this connection in their tagline Eat nature’s harvest. Change your microbiome. Your health depends on it.

In an effort to expose the critical nature of eating seasonally and locally, Dr. Douillard has teamed up with Food Network Star, Emma Frisch, to provide healthy seasonal recipes as a part of these free monthly seasonal eating guides in the 3-Season Diet Challenge. From the popular book of the same name, the 3-Season Diet Challenge includes new research, recipes, grocery lists, videos, coupons, articles and blogs all packaged into monthly seasonal eating guides delivered straight to your inbox. After all the extreme diets we’re bombarded with, this challenge was designed to sync the body with seasonal foods and seasonal microbes for effortless health.
