The Hidden Crisis: Soil Health & Nutrient Deficiency

February 10, 20253 min read

Did you know that the food we eat today contains just a fraction of the nutrients it did 50 years ago?

Industrial farming has stripped our soil of essential vitamins and minerals, leaving us with nutrient-depleted food that fails to nourish our bodies at the deepest level. This widespread soil degradation is a silent epidemic affecting our health, our environment, and even future generations

The Problem: Chemical Farming & Soil Destruction

Dr. Zach Bush, a renowned physician and researcher, has spoken extensively about the dangers of chemical farming and its devastating effects on soil health. In his YouTube video, Chemical Farming and the Loss of Human Health, he explains how the widespread use of pesticides, herbicides (like glyphosate), and synthetic fertilizers has destroyed the microbiome of the soil—leading to a massive decline in nutrient density and biodiversity.

When soil is stripped of its natural ecosystem, plants lose access to the minerals and microbes that make them nutrient-rich. This means that even if you’re eating a diet full of vegetables, you’re likely missing essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that your body needs to function optimally.

The result? Widespread nutrient deficiencies that contribute to fatigue, inflammation, poor gut health, weakened immunity, and uncontrollable cravings. The food system is failing us—and it’s time to take action.

How I Optimize My Nutrition with Superfoods

Knowing that modern food lacks the nutrients my body needs, I’ve turned to superfoods—potent, whole-food sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—to bridge the gap. But not just any superfoods. I prioritize regeneratively-grown superfoods because they:

🌿 Restore soil health – Regenerative farming rebuilds the soil’s microbiome, creating nutrient-dense food while reversing environmental damage.

🌿 Heal the gut – Many superfoods naturally support digestion, reduce inflammation, and promote a thriving gut microbiome.

🌿 Reduce cravings – When your body gets the nutrients it needs, you naturally crave less processed and unhealthy foods.

🌿 Provide real nourishment – Unlike synthetic vitamins, which are often made from isolated compounds in a lab, superfoods are whole-food-based, allowing for better absorption and utilization by the body.

Why I Choose Superfoods Over Synthetic Vitamins

Most synthetic vitamins are isolated nutrients that lack the full spectrum of co-factors, enzymes, and phytonutrients found in real food. Our bodies are designed to recognize and absorb nutrients from whole-food sources, not lab-created chemicals. When you consume high-quality superfoods, you're giving your body the full package—nutrients in their natural, bioavailable form.

I use Purium superfoods because they’re grown regeneratively - in nutrient-rich soil, free of chemicals, pesticides, and GMOs - delivering the cleanest, most potent nourishment while restoring the land.
