Nourishment can take many forms. When we speak, breath and vi- bration combine to create sound, which feeds the spirit. Nourishment is not simply about getting the fuel needed to function. It is about sat - isfaction, enjoyment, grounding, as well as maintaining the health of the body’s various organs and organ systems. The study of anatomy would like to chop us up into parts. However, we are intricate, somatic beings. What affects one system impacts all the others as well. Despite the current structure of our modern medical system, the body is not arranged according to medical specialties. Instead, both wellness and illness occur via intricate processes that involve all of the following systems working together, either in harmony or in dissonance: ● Energy (energy production, circadian rhythm, mitochondria) ● Assimilation (metabolism, nutrient absorption, gut microbi - ome, respiration) ● Biotransformation and elimination (detoxification, liver, large intestine) ● Defense and repair (immune, inflammation, infections, mi - crobiota) ● Transport (cardiovascular, lymphatic system) ● Communication (endocrine/glandular system, neurotrans - mitters, brain) ● Structural integrity (from subcellular membranes to muscu - loskeletal structure) The Institute for Functional Medicine refers to this concept as the functional medicine matrix, an inclusive framework of assessment and treatment that addresses root causes of disease, instead of symptoms. There are many triggers for disease and many tools for restoring health. Food, however, is the foundation of wellness because we eat it every day. The food that is most digestible and health-promoting for each of us is part of our heritage and our genetic makeup. That said, the foods that are necessary for establishing and maintaining health are somewhat different for each of us depending both on our inherent makeup and on our life experiences. We can uncover our ideal foods through learning about ourselves on a deeper level. What does a human being need to thrive? Because we are part of nature, our needs match those of the environment: air, water, protec- tion from harsh elements, food, energy, and interrelationship. Carbon, water, nitrogen, oxygen — the same materials that comprise the Earth also make up our own blood and bones, our breath, and our brains. Our hair, skin, tears, and eventually entire bodies are all returned to the Earth, where they break down into these same materials. Since our bodies are literally made from Earth, we can use them directly to gain an understanding of the way Earth works. Bill Mollison coined the term permaculture to mean a blending of permanent agriculture and permanent culture. This system involves
