By creating a more efficient physiology, the cell is not required to work beyond what nature intended, and therefore, does not create the nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances associated with chronic disease and aging. It is the same as pushing ourselves mentally, emotionally, or physical can result in stress, tension, or injury, so too can pushing our metabolism or physiology. The physiologic effect or amount of "push" food has on our chemistry is solely based on its quality and quantity of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as the hormonal effects of various foods. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and hormones or hormonal-type substances also known as macronutrients, are the driving "force" of our biochemistry. The physiologic load from consuming foods that are high in macronutrient require more vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to assimilate these foods than the foods supply. Therefore, many of the foods we believe to be healthy actually create nutritional deficiencies and dis-ease.

Metabolic Therapies has researched and categorized foods according to their physiologic effects. Our dietary approach, based on sound biochemical, clinical, and medical research, is concerned with maintaining a high micronutrient (vitamins, minerals, and enzymes) to macronutrient (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as hormonal effects) ratio. That is, high quality foods, which are complete sources, of essential proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and are also extremely high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes. Thus, addressing efficiency instead of deficiency.
