I think it’s fair to say that sickness and disease have been normalized to a large degree in our society today.
In fact, we’ve reached the point where you’re considered an oddball if you don’t have something wrong with you or aren’t taking medications!
Let me remind you of these truths:
-
Disease is not normal.
-
It’s not a reflection of your body needing a drug.
-
It’s not something expected as you age.
-
And it’s certainly not some mysterious phenomenon that strikes at random.
Instead, disease is the result of stress, imbalance, or deficiency in your body.
Your body was created for health—not disease!
When it gets sick, there are one or more very real reasons why.
These reasons can include exposure to toxins, smoking, excessive alcohol use, mental stress, lack of sleep, a diet high in sugar, or an unhealthy gut microbiome.
But one of the most significant—and rarely discussed—reasons is...
Nutrient Deficiencies: The Hidden Cause
Deficiencies in key nutrients are a major driving force behind virtually every illness and disease.
Here are just a few examples:
-
Heart disease — linked to deficiencies in zinc, magnesium, vitamins B6, B12, D, C, and E, plus folic acid.
-
Depression — associated with low levels of vitamins B3, B6, B12, and vitamin D.
-
Autoimmune diseases (MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, Hashimoto’s) — strongly connected to vitamin D deficiency.
-
Alzheimer’s and dementia — related to low levels of vitamin B12, magnesium, and vitamin D.
-
Cancer — may result from deficiencies in vitamins A, D, E, K, folic acid, selenium, and zinc.
-
Type 2 diabetes — often linked to shortages of biotin, chromium, vanadium, magnesium, and vitamin C.
-
Restless leg syndrome and irregular heartbeat — commonly due to magnesium deficiency.
Unfortunately, most healthcare practitioners don’t even consider nutrient deficiencies when evaluating someone’s health—or worse, they believe diet doesn’t matter.
So instead of addressing the root cause, you’re often prescribed drugs to manage symptoms—while the true issue remains untouched.
Just the Facts
When it comes to getting the nutrients your body needs, here are several concerning realities:
FACT #1: Despite overwhelming evidence that a nutritious diet is essential for health, most people do not eat well. Fast food and processed convenience foods dominate our plates—and drive-thru lines are only getting longer.
FACT #2: Three out of four people suffer from digestive issues such as diarrhea, indigestion, or Crohn’s disease, all of which can impair nutrient absorption.
FACT #3: Seven out of ten people take at least one medication daily. Many drugs damage the gut environment and block nutrient uptake—especially acid reducers, which millions use every day.
FACT #4: Even “real” foods aren’t as nutrient-rich as they used to be. Modern farming methods, mineral-depleted soils, and unnatural animal feed have reduced their nutritional value.
FACT #5: Soda remains a top beverage choice. Both sugar and aspartame harm your gut, and the acid forces your body to leach minerals like calcium and magnesium from your bones and muscles to neutralize it. (Can you say osteoporosis?)
In short: chances are excellent that most of us have some form of nutrient deficiency—which may eventually lead to diagnosis and drugs.
Protect Yourself!
You can do so much to prevent disease simply by giving your body the nutrients it needs.
Start with a healthy diet rich in:
-
Fresh vegetables
-
Meats, poultry, and fish
-
Eggs
-
Healthy fats
But remember—our food today just isn’t as nutritious as it once was. Even the best diet can still fall short in key nutrients.
That’s why the best way to ensure your bases are covered is with a high-quality multi-nutrient formula like Super Core, my advanced multi-vitamin and mineral formula!
Super Core provides therapeutic, health-supporting doses of all the nutrients mentioned above (and more), along with a powerful blend of anti-inflammatories and antioxidants to help protect your body from disease.
Inflammation is a leading cause of many serious illnesses—including heart disease and cancer—and free radicals can wreak havoc on your health. That’s why I designed Super Core to go beyond standard multivitamins, offering deep, cellular-level protection.
And even if you’re already facing health challenges, you can still make a real difference in how you feel. Supplying your body with the crucial nutrients it needs can go a long way in helping it fight back and restore optimal health.

When you give your body what it needs, it can stay vibrant and disease-free well into your golden years.
You deserve outstanding health—and it’s my mission to help you achieve it.
