"Feed Your Body Right: Understanding Your Individual Body Chemistry for Proper Nutrition Without Guesswork" by Dr. Lendon H. Smith challenges conventional medicine by emphasizing biochemical individuality—the idea that each person has unique nutritional needs based on genetics, environment, and metabolism. Unlike one-size-fits-all diets, Smith argues that symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and mood swings often stem from nutritional imbalances rather than disease alone. He introduces the Life Balances Health Program, which uses senses like smell and taste to identify nutrient deficiencies, similar to how animals instinctively seek what their bodies lack (demonstrated by his anecdote of a dog self-regulating its pH). Smith highlights the critical role of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) in bodily functions and explains how restoring balance can alleviate food sensitivities and chronic symptoms. The book provides practical guidance—such as interpreting blood tests and matching symptoms (e.g., brittle nails = low iron/calcium) to missing nutrients—while advocating for a complementary approach alongside traditional medicine. Ultimately, Smith empowers readers to decode their body’s signals for personalized nutrition, debunking generic dietary advice in favor of metabolic harmony.
