The 90 Essential Nutrients, Explained Simply

Your body is a builder. Builders need materials. The 90 essentials are the raw materials cells use to make proteins, keep water balance, replace cells, and protect themselves: - 60 minerals - 16 vitamins - 12 amino acids - 2–3 essential fatty acids Dr. Glidden ND and the Wholistic Provider Network teach this as foundation, not fashion. When the essentials are missing, people feel it as fatigue, slow recovery, cravings, and fog — then they look for a shortcut. Let thy food be thy medicine means food first, then targeted supplementation when testing and analytics show a gap. The AI Nutrition App and Essential Nutrition Testing exist to make those gaps visible, not to replace a plate of real food. Educational note: this is SelfCare literacy, not a diagnosis and not a promise to treat disease.
