Feeding the Light: How Food Energy Programs Shape Our Body, Soul, and Spirit

Every morsel we put into our mouths carries invisible program code. This program begins long before the food reaches our plate and determines whether this food actually heals us or instead drains us.

1. Source Code: Earth’s Fertility and the Host’s Intention

Food programming begins in the depths of the soil. Ancient agricultural traditions, gurus, yogis, healers with earth-power, shamanic teachings, and light guides emphasize that the earth is not just passive soil, but a living consciousness.

When the master of the land—the person growing the food and plants—treats the soil with respect, gratitude, and love, they charge the earth with a positive frequency. This joy and care are stored in the seed and the growing crop. Similarly, when the land is tilled with greed, weariness, poisons, and a heavy mood, the harvest carries a program of stress and destruction. The earth always responds to human energy—cared-for and loved land yields food that offers the body true vitality (prāna or qi).

2. The Invisible Chain: Energy Storage in the Food Industry

Before the food edible to humans—fruit, root vegetables, garden produce, seafood, plant-based foods, animal foods, or baked goods—reaches the final consumer, it passes through the hands and environments of dozens of people. The food industry, transport chains, packaging, and store shelves shape a dense energy pattern around the food.

• The Emotional Imprint of Handlers: A foodstuff acts like a crystalline storage device. If the person involved in growing, harvesting, packaging, or selling the food is angry, tired, stressed, or malicious, this frequency is transferred to the food.
• The Unbroken Chain: Just one link in this long chain—for example, a dissatisfied warehouse worker or a grumpy cashier—is enough to leave a low-frequency energy stamp on the food.
• Packaging Does Not Protect Against Energy: Physical plastic or cardboard packaging protects food against bacteria, but does not stop energy waves. The informational imprint passes through every material. Packaging, in turn, gives the food an additional program. Therefore, it is extremely important to look at the person from whom you buy your food. Their eyes, posture, and the general energy radiating from them move along with the food into your apartment and into your body.

3. The Final Author: Your Own Current State

The most immediate and strongest impact on the energy of food occurs right before eating. If you sit down at a plate filled with food while you are:

• sick or in physical pain,
• worried, in fear, angry, or stressed,
• watching negative news while eating or arguing with a family member,

then you overwrite the food’s energy pattern with your own current emotion. You not only consume the previous programs in the food, but you amplify the low frequency already present in the body through the food, driving it deep into your cellular level.

4. Ultra-Processed Foods: Dead Code and a Lifeless Product

While natural and living food responds to our conscious intention and mental programming, today’s ultra-processed foods, laboratory products, and synthetic inventions of the food and pharmaceutical industry are in a completely different category. In the case of these products, reprogramming the food before eating no longer yields results, because, as a sad fact, all living programs and natural light have already been forcibly removed from them.

How industrial production loses its essence:

• Destruction of Living Programs: Through chemical processing, refinement, the addition of synthetic preservatives, artificial flavor enhancers, and isolates, the original, living, and coherent informational field of the foodstuff is completely disrupted. It no longer contains biophotonic light or natural vitality.
• The Alliance of the Food Industry and Pharmaceutical Industry: Large industries and laboratories create products designed to stimulate brain centers to induce artificial addiction, rather than to nourish the body. Industrial survival and profit programs are rigidly written into it, which are contradictory to the spiritual nature of the human organism.
• The Unresponsiveness of a Lifeless Product: A dead, dark, and purely chemical substance lacks consciousness-based receptivity. It has lost its connection to the Universe and the Earth. Even if you sit in peace and light and try to reprogram such food with love, lifeless food no longer responds to the mantras or intentions of a living person.

Dark fuel is not suited for a living soul.

When a person consumes ultra-processed and laboratory-produced food, they are essentially eating a dead, dark, and artificial product along with the rigid corporate program forced into it. It does not nourish the soul or spirit—it is a foreign body that burdens the physical body and pulls down the person’s own bioenergetic frequency. Therefore, from the standpoint of conscious nutrition and spiritual development, it is critically important to understand: such products can no longer be “prayed clean,” one must consciously stay away from them.

5. Scientific Proof: The Cellular Light Language and Biophotons

When spiritual traditions and ancient teachings speak of food as living energy and a carrier of light, it may seem to a skeptic merely as a poetic metaphor. However, the discoveries of biophysics and quantum biology in recent decades bring unexpected and powerful scientific confirmation to this claim.

The human body is not merely a chemical factory operating solely on the basis of molecules and calories—our cells are actually emitters and receivers of light.

Light signals in biology: How cells talk to each other?

• Gurwitsch’s Mitogenetic Radiation (1920s): Russian biologist Alexander Gurwitsch was the first to discover that living cells emit weak, invisible radiation that directs and stimulates the division and growth of other cells without any physical or chemical contact.
• Fritz-Albert Popp’s Biophoton Theory (1970s): The German biophysicist proved with ultrasensitive devices that all living organisms (plants, animals, humans) continuously emit photons, or light particles. This phenomenon is called biophotonic emission.
• DNA as a Light Storage: Popp’s research showed that the main holder of biophotons in the cell is our DNA. DNA acts like a quantum laser that stores and emits coherent (i.e., orderly and harmonious) light, allowing cells to exchange information at the speed of light.

Light food vs. “dark” fuel

This scientific discovery sheds a completely new light on our dining table. Researching foodstuffs has revealed that the value of food lies not only in vitamins and macronutrients, but above all in its biophotonic potential:

• Living and fresh food: Plant food grown organically, in the sun and living soil, emits strong and orderly light. When we eat such food, we charge our body’s cellular system with pure and coherent light energy.
• Over-processed or heat-treated food: Chemically processed, irradiated, or boiled-to-death food has lost its biophotonic connection and light. For cells, this has turned into “dark” fuel that requires energy from the body to neutralize it, instead of adding to it.

Science confirms what ancient gurus, yogis, earth-healers, light guides, and shamans have known through the ages: we are beings of light and we feed on light (prāna, qi, biophotons). When we consciously cleanse, bless, and program our food into a higher frequency, we directly support the harmony of the pure light language between cells, bringing health, clarity, and vitality into our body.

6. Reprogramming Food: Cleansing and Charging with Light

Fortunately, we are not victims of this energy chain. Monastic traditions (blessing food in monasteries), yogic teachings (consecrating food, or Prasadam), shamanic rituals, and light code carriers all teach one golden rule: food can and must be cleansed and reprogrammed before eating.

How to cleanse and charge food before eating:

1. Step out of everyday noise: Before sitting down to eat, take a momentary pause. Close your eyes and bring yourself into a complete state of presence, peace, and light. Make sure that on a conscious level there are no active old dogmas, karma, or resentment accumulated during the day.
2. Call forth Pure Power and Light: Visualize or feel how the pure, unconditional love light of the Universe flows through your hands into the food.
3. Cleanse and neutralize: Send the intention to the food: “May this food be cleansed of all low frequencies, foreign energies, and negative moods that have joined it on its journey.”
4. Program for higher benefit: Charge the food with a new intention: “May this food be healing, vitality, light, and for the highest good of my body, soul, and spirit.”
5. Express gratitude: Gratitude is one of the highest frequencies on Earth. True gratitude towards the food, the Earth, and the Universe instantly alters the molecular and energy pattern of the food.

The dining table as a sanctuary of light and peace

When we begin to understand that every bite is an energetic information exchange with the Universe, eating transforms from a mechanical activity into a sacred ritual.

Choose consciously whose grown and sold food you bring into your home. But most importantly—always take that minute to slow down before eating. When you cleanse your food and charge it with pure light and peace of mind, that food ceases to be merely “fuel.” In addition, it becomes a living healing agent and carrier of light that works true miracles with your body’s health, soul’s peace, and spirit’s expansion.

Love yourself, love your body, soul, and spirit, be grateful.

Presence at the cellular level: amino acids create a healthy cell

What are amino acids and why are they best absorbed through food? What happens to your body if you do not get all 22 amino acids? Which foods contain essential amino acids, and which foods contain all amino acids? Is there a universal food that provides the cell with all the necessary amino acids and nutrients for the whole day?

If You Experience Long-Term Mental and Physical Stress, Anxiety, and Fears:

High stress and constant daily tension increase the body’s need for certain amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. This is especially true in cases of prolonged stress, when the body remains on high alert for weeks or months.

The impact depends on the severity of the stress, sleep quality, diet, and individual health status.

Even someone who eats healthily needs greater capacity in such situations so that the body does not start consuming reserves that are essential in old age. (People often eat healthily but frequently overlook the presence of amino acids and minerals in their diet.)

1. Which Amino Acids Are Affected by Stress?

2. Which Minerals Are Most Affected by Stress?

• Magnesium: Stress can affect magnesium metabolism and excretion. A magnesium deficiency, in turn, can promote muscle tension and nervous system irritability.
• Zinc: Essential for the immune system, nervous system, and tissue recovery. Severe physiological stress can alter the distribution of zinc within the body.
• Potassium: Important for nerve impulses and muscle function. Normal emotional stress generally does not cause a significant potassium deficiency.
• Calcium: Involved in nervous system and muscle function, but direct calcium loss caused by stress is usually not the primary issue.

In addition, B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C can prove crucial during periods of stress.

3. What Happens When a Person Is Under Constant Stress?

Long-term stress affects the regulatory systems associated with cortisol and adrenaline and can lead to:

1. Poorer sleep and slower recovery.
2. Increased muscle tension and fatigue.
3. Changes in appetite and digestion.
4. Difficulty concentrating and regulating emotions.
5. Changes in protein metabolism under more severe stress.

When stress is accompanied by under-eating, intense physical exertion, or chronic sleep deprivation, the risk of inadequate nutrient intake increases.

Should a Stressed Person Consume More Amino Acids and Minerals?

Generally speaking, yes – depending on how much of their life they have spent truly living and eating in harmony with nature. However, first and foremost, adequate protein and energy intake, along with a varied diet, should be ensured. For example, eggs, fish, meat, dairy products, legumes, nuts, bone broth, collagen (melted gelatin), and seeds provide amino acids and several minerals.

What Are Amino Acids and Why Are They Vital to the Body?

Imagine your body as a massive construction site. Proteins are the buildings, bridges, roads, and tools that the body constantly builds, dismantles, and repairs. Amino acids are the bricks from which all these proteins are assembled.

The human body utilizes 22 amino acids for building proteins and carrying out vital life processes. This number is supported by modern biochemistry, as in addition to the 20 primary ones, two specific and important amino acids have been recognized: selenocysteine and pyrrolysine. Traditionally, 20 standard amino acids were spoken of for a long time, but contemporary science considers the final two as full-fledged building blocks of proteins.

Without the proper balance of amino acids, the body cannot build muscles, produce hormones, create enzymes for digestion, carry oxygen in the blood, or keep skin, bones, and joints strong.

“Every human being needs 22 amino acids every single day, no less.”

Three Groups: What Does the Body Synthesize and What Does It Not?

All 22 amino acids are categorized into three clear groups in biochemistry based on whether the human organism can synthesize them on its own or must obtain them from daily food:

Group 1: Essential Amino Acids (9 total)

These must be obtained by the human organism through food, as the body cannot synthesize them in any way. In their absence, protein synthesis in the body stops, and dysfunctions begin. (Among others, all of these are naturally present in the Cell Elixir product and other whole-food sources):

• Histidine
• Isoleucine
• Leucine
• Lysine
• Methionine
• Phenylalanine
• Threonine
• Tryptophan (a critically important amino acid involved in the production of serotonin and melatonin – the happiness and sleep hormones; chicken eggs are a primary source)
• Valine

Group 2: Conditionally Essential Amino Acids (6 total)

The body can synthesize these under normal conditions, but during certain life periods (illness, intense physical or mental stress, rapid growth, heavy exertion), the body’s capacity is limited, and they must additionally be obtained from food:

• Arginine
• Cysteine
• Glutamine
• Tyrosine
• Glycine (which is also one of the main and most powerful components of Cell Elixir’s collagen, responsible for the elasticity of skin and joints)
• Proline

Group 3: Non-Essential Amino Acids (7 total)

The human body can synthesize sufficient quantities of these from other substances without needing to obtain them directly from food:

• Alanine
• Asparagine
• Aspartate (Aspartic Acid)
• Glutamate (Glutamic Acid)
• Serine
• Selenocysteine (recognized as the 21st amino acid, containing vital selenium)
• Pyrrolysine (recognized as the 22nd amino acid, present in specific biochemical structures)

What Happens When the Body Does Not Get All Amino Acids?

Today’s fast-paced lifestyle, processed fast food, and irregular eating habits mean that many people do not get all the necessary building blocks from their daily meals.

If the body lacks even a single essential amino acid:

1. Protein synthesis is blocked: The body cannot repair damaged cells, muscles, or tissues because the “brick” required to lay the wall is missing.
2. Immunity and energy levels decline: Antibodies and enzymes are protein structures – their production slows down, leading to fatigue, frequent illnesses, and exhaustion.
3. Skin, hair, and joints suffer: In the absence of collagen and other structural proteins, aging accelerates, joints become stiff, and skin loses its elasticity.
4. Mental fatigue and sleep disturbances: Because neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and dopamine) require specific amino acids (like tryptophan and phenylalanine) for synthesis, stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders occur.

Anatomy of Food Sources: Why No Single Standard Food Is Enough on Its Own

Different foods have different amino acid profiles and contents. There is no single nutrient source that contains all 22 amino acids by itself. Universal sources include hemp seeds (20), chicken eggs (20), and animal gelatin (18–19) – when these three are combined, all 22 amino acids are covered.

Veiko Huuse created a universal cell elixir containing everything required for the cell for an entire day.

Let’s look at the three main components forming the core of Cell Elixir:

1. Hemp Seed Flour:
   • Number of amino acids: Contains 20 amino acids.
   • Characteristics: Hemp seed protein (specifically edestin and albumin) is one of the most complete in the plant kingdom. It contains all 9 essential amino acids plus 11 non-essential and conditionally essential amino acids. It is particularly rich in glutamic acid and arginine.
2. Whole Egg Powder:
   • Number of amino acids: Contains 20 amino acids, including highly important tryptophan, which is lacking in certain other structural food sources.
   • Characteristics: Eggs are considered nature’s biological benchmark for nutrition (with a bioavailability score of 100). Egg powder contains all 9 essential amino acids in perfect balance, as well as the full set of 20 standard amino acids required by the human body for protein synthesis.
3. Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder / Gelatin Peptides:
   • Number of amino acids: Contains 18–19 amino acids.
   • Characteristics: Collagen is a specialized connective tissue protein. It contains very high concentrations of specific amino acids (especially glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which make up about 50% of collagen’s total composition).
   • Important deficiency: Collagen is not a complete protein because it entirely lacks 1 essential amino acid – tryptophan. Its amounts of methionine and cysteine are also very low. Therefore, if a person consumes only collagen powder, the body does not receive all vital building blocks.

Why Is the Cell Elixir Combination Created by Veiko Huuse Brilliant?

Collagen alone is not a complete protein (due to the missing tryptophan), but Genesis Shield – Cell Elixir has solved this problem perfectly.

When collagen is combined with whole egg powder and hemp seed flour (along with other pure food structure components), the egg and hemp completely fill collagen’s nutritional gaps.

The result is a complete and abundant 22 amino acid structure with a surplus, where the body receives:

• A massive and essential dose of glycine and proline to keep skin, bones, and joints in peak condition;
• All 9 essential amino acids (including tryptophan) for muscle renewal, cellular repair, and nervous system balance;
• In addition, the elixir provides the minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibers required by the organism;
• Drink water with Guérande sea salt every day to retain minerals in the body and keep the blood (saline-plasma matrix) healthy;
• Complete peace of mind that even if your fast lifestyle does not allow for an ideal and diverse healthy diet, your cells receive the exact nourishment and fuel they need to survive and thrive every morning;
• Cell Elixir is light food, not a typical dietary supplement, and it also satisfies hunger as nourishing light food.

Every person always has a choice and free will. For those who love to cook and enjoy diverse culinary experiences, there is Golden Stevia, Europe’s best Keto and Low Carb e-shop. For those with a fast-paced life, who travel frequently, or simply prefer to stay healthy and enjoy living life, there is Cell Elixir.

The most important part of this whole story is to love your every cell, and your cells will keep you healthy and youthful for a long time. I speak from my own experience and that of other spiritual beings of light.

Nourish your cells. Feed your body with perfection.

Genesis Shield Announces the Global Launch of Cell Elixir

Genesis Shield proudly announces the international market debut of Cell Elixir, an uncompromising, whole-food cellular nutrition formula designed to redefine how humans nourish their bodies at the deepest molecular level.

In a wellness market saturated with synthetic vitamin pills and incomplete supplements, Cell Elixir stands apart by offering a pure, uncompromised nutritional matrix that guarantees all 22 essential, conditionally essential, and non-essential amino acids with absolute abundance—powered entirely by nature.

The Flaw of Traditional Supplements

For decades, the supplement industry has relied on synthetic isolates—chemically engineered vitamins that the human body often fails to recognize, leading to absorption rates as low as 10–20%. Consumers have been forced to swallow dozens of separate, expensive pills daily, resulting in massive financial waste and poor cellular uptake.

Cell Elixir changes the paradigm. Developed by international life coach, author, and researcher Veiko Huuse, the product is built on a simple yet profound realization: the human body does not need lab chemicals; it requires a living food structure.

Why Cell Elixir is Unlike Anything Else on the Market:

• The Complete 22 Amino Acids: While popular products like standalone collagen lack vital amino acids (such as tryptophan), Cell Elixir combines whole egg powder, hemp seed flour, and collagen peptides to completely bridge the nutritional gaps—delivering all 22 amino acids required for human protein synthesis and cellular repair.
• The Power of Real Food (95–100% Bioavailability): Every vitamin, mineral, and amino acid is bound to a natural whole-food structure, ensuring near-complete cellular absorption without the need for massive, toxic over-dosing.
• A Complete Daily Ritual: Unlike synthetic pills that leave the stomach empty, a 25g serving of Cell Elixir acts as a light, satisfying meal loaded with clean protein, healthy fats, and microbiome-supporting dietary fibers.
• The Ultimate “Turbo Biohack” Synergy: When mixed with live-culture traditional yogurt or kefir, Cell Elixir creates a powerful symbiosis where prebiotic fibers meet probiotic strains (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, and L. acidophilus), supercharging gut health and nutrient assimilation.

Nourishing Body, Soul, and Spirit

“Cell Elixir was born from an uncompromising dedication to honoring the sacred vessel of the physical body,” says Veiko Huuse, founder of Genesis Shield. “We live in a time where processed food and fast living deplete our cellular energy. Cell Elixir is a universal light food designed to keep your body, soul, and spirit healthy, strong, and anchored on the path of vitality.”

Priced at €59.00 per 500g pouch (a full 20-day supply), Cell Elixir eliminates the need for dozens of separate, expensive jars, offering a cost-effective, pure, and scientifically superior alternative for health-conscious individuals worldwide.

Cell Elixir is available exclusively through the official online store at getgenesisshield.com.

Why are a ketogenic diet, physical activity, and alternating between cold and heat more beneficial than medication in cases of memory impairment?

For years, the approach to Alzheimer’s disease and memory disorders has focused on pharmaceuticals. While the promises have been grand, the actual results have been modest. It is becoming increasingly clear that the problem lies not merely in “brain chemistry,” but much deeper—in the brain’s energy utilization and metabolism. This has given rise to a concept frequently cited in scientific literature—though it is not an official medical diagnosis—that characterizes Alzheimer’s as “Type 3 diabetes,” arising from insulin resistance within the brain. Previously, medicine identified Type 2 diabetes as a potential cause of memory disorders; however, it has now been scientifically established that the brain can develop its own distinct form of insulin resistance, which contributes to various chronic conditions. Alzheimer’s is a state in which the brain becomes insulin-resistant regarding glucose, rendering it unable to utilize its primary fuel source.

The ketogenic diet as a metabolic fuel switch.

When the brain cannot derive energy from glucose, it is not merely a case of memory loss in an abstract sense, but rather a genuine energy crisis. A starving brain cannot be restored by a pill that targets a single neurotransmitter; it requires an alternative fuel source, improved blood supply, and functional mitochondria.

In this context, the ketogenic diet becomes a logical choice rather than an ideological one. It is neither a medication nor a mere trend, but a metabolic shift. When carbohydrate intake is low, the body begins to produce ketone bodies—an energy substrate that can cross the blood-brain barrier, does not require insulin, and is capable of fueling the brain even when glucose is no longer effective. While this does not cure Alzheimer’s disease or memory disorders, it does improve the brain’s energy status. Many people report clearer thinking, more stable moods, and a reduction in mental “fog.”

A significant distinction compared to pharmaceutical treatments is that the ketogenic diet does not lead to polypharmacy—a situation where an individual takes an excessive number of medications simultaneously, which may then amplify or interfere with one another’s effects. The ketogenic approach does not introduce new chemical substances into the body, nor does it cause drug interactions; instead, its “side effects” often include improved metabolism, reduced inflammation, and more stable energy levels.

Alternating cold and heat, and conditioning the blood vessels.

Another underrated yet highly powerful intervention is the alternation of cold and heat—specifically, the use of cold water and saunas. Cold exposure is neither torture nor an extreme act, provided it is approached mindfully. For instance, brief sessions in cold water—roughly 3 × 1–2 minutes daily in water at about 8°C—act as a hormetic stimulus. This activates the nervous system, enhances insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function, and reduces chronic inflammation. When combined with a sauna or other heat exposure, this cold-heat alternation conditions the vascular system and improves blood flow to the brain. The brain is a vascular organ; without healthy blood vessels, no neuron can function—regardless of how “appropriate” a given medication might be.

The brain requires movement, not just pills.

The central role in this entire approach belongs to strength training. Without physical exertion, nothing happens in the brain. Muscles are not merely for movement; they function as endocrine and mechanical organs that directly influence hormones, bone marrow, and brain function. When a muscle pulls on a bone, it creates mechanical tension within that bone. This tension signals to the body that it is worth maintaining, restoring, and strengthening the organism. It is precisely this mechanical signal that keeps testosterone, the functional utilization of vitamin D, and the growth hormone/IGF-1 axis active.

When this signal disappears—due to a sedentary lifestyle, excessive comfort, and a lack of physical load—the body begins to conserve its resources. Hormonal activity declines, muscle and bone tissue degenerate, and brain plasticity diminishes. This is not aging itself; it is a lack of mechanical signaling. Constant comfort is not the pinnacle of well-being; rather, it often acts as an accelerator of the aging process.

Beyond its mechanical impact, muscle also functions as an endocrine organ, releasing myokines that influence inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and brain-derived growth factors. Therefore, strength training is not merely “training the muscles”—it is training the brain through the body. No pill can replicate the hormonal and neurological cascade triggered by active muscles and loaded bones.

Not a miracle cure, but a better option: why the ketogenic diet, physical activity, and hot-cold exposure may be more effective than medication for memory disorders.

If we take an honest look at medications for Alzheimer’s, we must admit that they do not improve the brain’s energy utilization, enhance blood circulation, or strengthen the body. In reality, they often lead to confusion, dizziness, falls, and delirium. A lifestyle-based approach, by contrast, targets the root causes rather than just the symptoms. It works in harmony with the body’s physiology without introducing new risks. In this case, the “side effects” are often improved endurance, greater physical strength, and a clearer mind.

It is important to emphasize that this is not a miracle cure, nor does it promise a full recovery. Instead, it offers something far more realistic: a higher probability that brain function will improve or that the rate of decline will slow down. Very often, this “slight improvement” is far more valuable to the individual and their family than a medication that might show a marginal effect in statistics, yet causes chaos in everyday life.

An Active Choice for Vitality

Ultimately, everything comes down to a single question. It is not about which diet is the “right” one or what temperature of water is the “best.” The question is whether a person wants to give themselves the chance to be full of vitality. A ketogenic diet, physical activity, and alternating between cold and heat do not require permission or a prescription. They only require a decision not to remain passive. And very often, that is precisely where real change begins.

Author Annika Urm – is a financial manager with a master’s degree, whose background in accounting and management has developed a deep understanding of the logic of balance and equilibrium. While studying medical nursing, she discovered that the human body functions on the same principle as a financial balance sheet: health does not depend on individual indicators, but rather on whether the system is in balance.

Annika focuses on the human body as a whole, in which fluid balance, electrolytes, acid-base balance, vitamins, minerals, hormones, and metabolism all play a key role.

Annika takes a systematic approach to health—looking at both test results and the person behind them, and always asking what the body is lacking, what it has in excess, and how to restore balance.

This approach is particularly evident in intensive care, where the patient is unable to speak, and decisions are made based on physiology, test results, and clinical logic. For Annika, this is not an exceptional situation, but a reflection of the fact that everyone’s health ultimately boils down to the same principle—the body’s balance.

In restoring balance, he also considers the regulation of the nervous system and metabolism to be important, where sleep, physical activity (especially strength training), adherence to the circadian rhythm, and the alternation between cold and heat play a central role as physiological signals that teach the body to adapt and recover. In his view, these are not “lifestyle tips,” but rather part of the body’s biological regulation and mechanisms for maintaining health.

In addition to nursing, Annika explores the ketogenic diet as one possible tool for supporting metabolic balance, but her primary interest and passion have always been the same: human health and the body’s ability to heal itself when that balance is in place.

That somewhere deep within you lie questions — and perhaps even answers — that schools, society, and conventional ways of thinking have never fully addressed?

Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? What is the soul? What happens beyond physical existence? Is there a greater intelligence or Source behind life itself?

Start Your Journey with “The All” Book!

The All by Veiko Huuse invites you to explore these questions and embark on a journey beyond the boundaries of ordinary perception — toward a deeper understanding of consciousness, the soul, the universe, and your own true essence.

A Dialogue About Life’s Greatest Questions

At the heart of The All is a dialogue between Linda, a student searching for knowledge about the meaning of life and the Creator of life, and Veiko, her teacher.

Their conversations are simple and accessible, yet the questions they explore reach into some of the deepest mysteries of human existence.

What is the soul, and how does it differ from the spirit?

What is the true purpose of human life?

Does the soul continue beyond physical death?

Does reincarnation exist, and how could previous experiences influence our present life?

What is karma, and how can we free ourselves from patterns that no longer serve us?

Can our thoughts, emotions, and choices influence the reality we experience?

How can we strengthen our intuition and learn to hear the voice of our soul?

And perhaps the most important question of all:

Who are we beyond the identity and reality we have been taught to accept?

Body, Soul, Spirit, and the Universe

The All explores human existence as something far greater than the physical body alone.

The book examines the relationship between body, soul, and spirit and asks how these different dimensions of our being can exist in greater harmony.

It explores life energy, universal laws, karma, reincarnation, intuition, inner wisdom, spiritual development, the influence of thoughts and emotions, and the relationship between human consciousness and the greater Source of Life.

What is our place in the universe?

Are the events of our lives merely random, or could they be connected to a greater pattern?

How can we create a life that resonates more deeply with universal energy?

Rather than simply asking readers to accept a new set of beliefs, The All invites them to look inward, question established assumptions, and explore these ideas through the lens of their own experience.

Beyond the Matrix of Everyday Reality

From an early age, we learn how the world is supposed to work.

We inherit beliefs, expectations, fears, social rules, and patterns of behavior. Over time, these structures can become so familiar that we stop questioning whether they truly reflect who we are.

The All explores the idea of the “matrix” as part of a broader examination of consciousness and perceived reality.

What if some of the boundaries we experience are not absolute?

What if stepping beyond them begins not by changing the outside world, but by changing the way we understand ourselves?

The book invites readers to observe their thoughts, recognize their fears, listen more carefully to intuition, and become increasingly conscious of the choices that shape their lives.

Breaking free therefore becomes an inner journey.

The journey toward understanding the universe begins with understanding yourself.

Rediscover the Wisdom Within You

One of the central themes of The All is the possibility that human beings possess a deeper inner wisdom than they usually recognize.

The book explores intuition and the voice of the soul, encouraging readers to develop a stronger relationship with their inner world.

How can you distinguish intuition from fear?

How can you become more aware of the messages coming from within?

What prevents you from living in harmony with yourself?

How can forgiveness, awareness, love, and living in the present moment change the way you experience life?

These questions turn The All into more than a book to be read from beginning to end.

It becomes an invitation to self-discovery.

From Spiritual Awakening to Inner Harmony

Spiritual awakening is not presented simply as gaining new knowledge. It is a process of becoming increasingly aware of yourself, your choices, your relationship with others, and your connection with something greater than yourself.

The All explores different stages of soul and spirit development and raises questions about spiritual enlightenment, higher consciousness, inner peace, and harmony between body, soul, spirit, and the universe.

For some readers, the journey may begin with curiosity about karma or reincarnation.

For others, it may begin with a feeling that something is missing from their lives.

Others may simply want to understand themselves more deeply.

Whatever brings you to these questions, The All invites you to explore rather than merely believe.

A Book for Those Who Sense There Is More

The All is for seekers.

For people interested in spiritual awakening, higher consciousness, personal transformation, the meaning of life, the nature of the soul, karma, reincarnation, intuition, universal wisdom, and the deeper nature of reality.

It is for those who have begun asking questions that conventional explanations no longer fully answer.

And it is for those who feel that personal growth is not only about becoming more successful in the external world, but also about discovering greater clarity, balance, purpose, and connection within themselves.

Whether you are taking your first steps on a spiritual journey or have explored these subjects for many years, The All offers another perspective from which to examine yourself and existence.

One Journey, Two Ways to Experience The All

Readers can begin their journey with The All as an eBook, available in both English and Estonian. The Estonian edition is titled Kõiksus.

For those who want to go deeper, there is also a special physical edition of The All.

The 528-page hardcover book brings the English and Estonian versions together in one volume, allowing both languages to exist side by side within the same work.

But the physical edition offers more than a different reading format.

It contains four additional chapters that are not included in the eBook, making the hardcover edition the more extensive version of The All.

Each physical book purchased directly from the author also becomes more personal: the buyer receives a dedication and the author’s autograph inside the book.

For readers who see The All not simply as something to read once, but as a work to return to, reflect upon, underline, discuss, and keep as part of their personal journey, the hardcover edition offers the complete experience.

The Journey Begins Within

Transformation does not always begin with a dramatic event.

Sometimes it begins with a question.

Who am I, really?

That question can lead to another.

What is consciousness?

Why am I here?

What is the purpose of the soul?

What is the relationship between my thoughts and the reality I experience?

What connects me with other people, with the universe, and with the Source of Life?

And what might change if I begin to see myself — and reality itself — differently?

The All invites you to enter this exploration with an open mind.

Not simply to believe.

Not simply to follow.

But to question, experience, observe, and discover.

Because perhaps the answers you have been searching for are not somewhere outside you.

Perhaps the most important journey is the one that leads you back to your own true essence.

Open the book. Question what you know. Listen within. Discover who you are.

Your journey into The All begins here.

About Veiko Huuse:

Being slim is a matter of opinion: in comparison to whom is one person slimmer than another, and who decides what constitutes a slim person? In this article, we shall examine the subject of slimness; according to many enlightened spiritual scholars, humanity in today’s world is sick, overweight, and has ‘lost’ its reason.

The result of recommendations from doctors, the Health Board, the National Institute for Health Development and the WHO – you no longer see slim, healthy people on the beach

There are women on the beach who not only have voluminous breasts, but also 2-3 layers underneath them. The woman’s body has 2-3 furrows at the front and a large bottom at the back. It’s no wonder that shops no longer sell nice clothes, as there are no longer any customers for them – all that’s needed are baggy, shapeless garments.

Men have bigger bellies than women who are nine months pregnant. Teenage boys have breasts as large as real, soft women’s breasts. How can that even be?

If you no longer see slim people on the beach, then the recommendations and measures put forward by doctors, the Health Board, the National Institute for Health Development, ministers, scientists and the WHO are 100 per cent wrong and misguided

People don’t talk about it, as if it were something to be ashamed of. And that’s exactly how it should be. Unfortunately, most of the people in charge of the family’s meals are women, and women bear a great deal of responsibility in this regard. If you say anything to them, they take offence. But it is the parents – usually the mothers – who feed their children until they become ill and overweight.

“I know a saying that goes: if a man or woman, standing upright and looking down, cannot see their own genitals, then it’s time for them to sort out their diet and lifestyle. Another saying goes that if you can’t tie your shoelaces whilst standing and bending forwards, you need to change your lifestyle.” — Veiko Huuse

“We are living in an era where chronic metabolic disorders are no longer the exception, but the rule. Being overweight and metabolic syndrome are not merely aesthetic concerns, but a systemic biological crisis, often exacerbated by outdated dietary recommendations and an excess of carbohydrates.”

— (General medical observation on metabolic dysfunction)

People who are overweight and have a large waist circumference are already unwell. They suffer from metabolic dysfunction, not to mention strain on their joints, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and so on. All these people have followed the recommendations of the Health Board, the National Institute for Health Development (TAI), doctors, ministers, scientists, and state institutions. Furthermore, WHO recommendations and vaccination schedules have been followed, and every possible medication has been taken; the list of side effects for which is endless.

You slather on sun cream full of chemicals and let it bake into your skin, turning it into cancer. It is an endless horror and an avalanche of disease. Wearing sunglasses and eating rapeseed oil – everything that has been recommended so far is actually the wrong way round. Tip: Whatever people advise, do the opposite.

The readings for a person considered ‘normal’ by scientific standards

To understand just how far off the mark the image of modern society is, it is worth looking at what traditional science considers to be a biologically normal and healthy body:

• Body Mass Index (BMI): For both men and women, this should fall within the range of 18.5 to 24.9. Anything above that is considered overweight or obesity.

WOMAN (height 170 cm):

• Normal weight range: approx. 53.5-72.2 kg.
• External (subcutaneous) body fat percentage: 21% – 32% of body mass
• Visceral fat levels: A value between 1 and 6 (low to optimal).
• Muscle mass (skeletal muscle): approx. 24%-30% (i.e., around 15-20 kg).
• Waist circumference: Definitely under 80 cm.

MEN (height 175 cm):

• Normal weight range: approx. 56.7-76.6 kg.
• External (subcutaneous) body fat percentage: 10%-20% of body weight
• Visceral fat levels: A value between 1 and 9 (low to optimal).
• Muscle mass (skeletal muscle): approx. 33%-40% (i.e., around 23-28 kg).
• Waist circumference: Definitely under 94 cm.

If your readings fall outside this range, chronic inflammatory processes have already begun in your body.

It is this very science that has established reasonable benchmarks for a healthy and slim person. However, science has turned the food and healthcare systems on their head – which does not support the achievement of these targets.

The army of toxins surrounding us

The chemicals you put on your skin, the toxins in your body and in the environment – including pollutants falling from the sky, heavy metals, fragrances and pesticides – are things we come into contact with every day. Plastic in water, seed oils, endocrine disruption – take a look around to see what’s happening in your body and around you. Every day, people are poisoning themselves and the environment.

People buy toxic shampoos from the shop, wash their hair with them, then buy laundry detergents and breathe them in every day in bed. Clothes also contain the chemicals that are transferred to the skin from washing powder. You end up eating the residue from the washing-up liquid off your plates, because traces of it always remain. All these toxins are ‘honestly’ peddled to you in TV adverts and on social media.

“We come into contact with hundreds of synthetic chemicals every day that act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs). These substances mimic or block our body’s natural hormones, directly causing obesity, infertility and metabolic crises.”

— (Toxicological Consensus on the Effects of Environmental Toxins)

People here on this 3D Earth have, over time, become the most foolish and brutal of all human beings. They poison their food to kill live insects, and then eat the poison themselves, believing that it won’t kill them. Today, because of this food contamination (‘protection against insects’), people are unable to have children. In addition, eco-labels (greenwashing) have been created to encourage people to pay more for non-toxic products. This strawberry is not pesticide-free if pesticide spraying is taking place on the farmland next to it. How much more stupid can you get? Honestly, where’s the common sense?

In the 1940s and 1950s, people were healthier and slimmer. How can that even be?

Looking back at society in the 1940s and 1950s, there was no such widespread obesity in beach scenes or street scenes as there is today. Official scientific and statistical data confirm that, for example, in the early 1960s, the proportion of obese people in society was only around 10 per cent (today it is more than five times higher, approaching 70 per cent). How could a generation that knew nothing of gyms, heart rate monitors or special diets have been so much purer, healthier and slimmer in biological terms?

The answer is simple: at that time, there were very few advocates of the ‘system’ (such as the WHO, the Health Board, the National Institute for Health Development, doctors, etc.), or they had no influence whatsoever over people’s daily diets. Government bodies did not aggressively dictate what people should eat, and food pyramids – which instructed people to stuff themselves with carbohydrates and grains – had not yet been invented or actively promoted. There were no predecessors to the National Institute for Health Development (TAI) whose role was to force-feed the public with low-fat, sugar-packed, chemical-laden products bought from the shops.

People of that era lived according to sound judgement and a deep, genuine love for themselves and their families. The food was made from genuine ingredients: home-grown vegetables, pure butter, lard and real meat. No one was familiar with terms such as ‘ultra-processed food’ or ‘seed oils’. Instead of rapeseed, soya and sunflower oils (industrial, rancid toxins), natural animal fats were used, which kept hormones in balance and the metabolism active. The food wasn’t full of hormones, pesticides, preservatives, or GMOs.

Buying and eating food was a sacred ritual, not a mindless dopamine rush and sugar binge in the midst of a hectic day. People were more aware of their bodies’ actual needs because they listened to their own biological instincts rather than to adverts on television or social media. It was a time when food was medicine and a source of vitality, rather than an addictive weapon of mass destruction designed by corporations.

“The result of the recommendations of doctors, the Health Board, the Institute for Health Development, and the WHO – on the beach, on the street, in social media photos, and in a largely visible society, you no longer see slim and healthy people. What is this, if not the doom of humanity?” – Veiko Huuse

Is it even possible to save it now?

Because the situation is still so dire that we’re facing a global pandemic and the doors of the supermarket should be locked. Even a water-only fast would help to stabilise the situation. Unfortunately, most are doomed, because saving them won’t help – they are often chronically ill anyway, and that does not advance humanity. When these same patients receive further vaccine doses, the body switches entirely to ‘survival’ mode – in other words, it creates a situation where it ‘keeps the body functioning in some way’. The self-healing functions are disabled.

Naturally, the whole process of change takes time – even years as our entire environment, education, shops, medicines, dietary advice, contaminated food and air, vaccines, drugs and so on all form part of a long journey for which a proper guide to health is needed. Where does this knowledge come from? You have to learn for yourself and think for yourself.

If you’re finding it hard to get started and need a “little nudge”, find someone who’s right for you – someone whose energy matches yours – and take it one step at a time.

NB! Every person is at a different stage on this journey, and the path is different for everyone. In fact, everyone has to find their own way. At the same time, someone needs to show the way by example. On the Fonte.News channel, you can read about precisely these topics.

After reading this article, some people might take offence, asking, “How can you insult fat people?” Incidentally, when a person is ill, they are indeed overweight, and sometimes we need to show compassion and empathy, because they are, after all, a sick person – a sugar addict, a dopamine addict, lacking in self-respect and self-love, blaming others for everything, and so on. Everyone has, and will continue to have, free will. So there’s no need to take offence – just carry on exactly as you wish.

The Culinary Experience of Food and the Experience of the Cell

Below, I’ll explain in simple terms, without beating about the bush, what a “culinary food experience” and a “cell experience” are.

We live in an age where there is more food than ever before — yet, paradoxically, more people are suffering from fatigue, obesity, stress, and diabetes; people are losing their teeth and suffering from a host of chronic health problems.

How can that be?

The answer lies in two completely different experiences:

• A culinary experience — it’s something that immediately appeals to your taste buds: crunchy, sweet, soft, salty, quick.
• The cellular experience — this is what speaks to the body later on: a clearer mind, a calmer, more controlled appetite, better recovery, more stable energy levels, a healthy body, no chronic health problems, no issues with being overweight, clear thinking, and lasting youthfulness.

“Does food control you, or do you control food?”

The Trap of Ultra-Processed Foods

Many ultra-processed foods are made to give you the strongest experience with the smallest effort. They may be very tasty and convenient, but they are often high in calories and full of added sugar, chemical additives (colourings, preservatives, bleaching agents, nanomaterials, plastic packaging, ‘unknown’ E substances, substances ‘accidentally’ omitted from the label, etc.) or fat (rapeseed and seed oils), whilst fibre and micronutrients are scarce or entirely absent.

It is this kind of eating pattern, rather than any single ‘bad’ ingredient, that is the problem for many people.

The Culinary Experience of Food — Instant Payoff

A culinary experience is that moment when:

• Something is sweet; flavours and aromas enriched with artificial flavourings
• Crunchy, greasy
• The brain gets a dopamine rush
• ‘Appetising’ product images, packaging, and ‘messages’
• You feel a sense of satisfaction… for a moment

For example:

• White sugar
• Pastries and wheat products
• Alcohol
• Ultra-processed snacks
• Taste-optimized “ready meals”
• Rapeseed oil and other seed oils

These are designed for maximum enjoyment, not for maximum cellular nourishment. They are bad because they exist to generate profits for the pharmaceutical industry, not to keep people healthy.

“Are you eating for the taste, or feeding your cells?”

The Cellular Experience — Real Food

The cellular experience is not as “loud”. It does not “explode with flavour”. But it does something else:

• It gives the body its necessary building blocks
• Stabilises energy levels
• Reduces uncontrollable cravings
• Does not cause insulin resistance
• Keeps hormones in balance
• Healthy cells — healthy body

For example:

• Eggs
• Meat and fish
• Vegetables
• Berries
• Nuts
• Quality fats (for example, coconut or olive oil, butter, beef fat, pork fat, seal fat, mutton fat)
• Pure, unprocessed, natural sea salt
• Natural and healthy sweeteners: Stevia and Monk Fruit

This is the food that makes up the body and nourishes the cells.

“Does what you eat build you up or wear you down?”

Why Are People Overeating?

Here is an important idea that biohackers also emphasise:

“The body is not looking for calories. It’s looking for nutrients.”

If you eat food that contains:

• Lacks minerals
• Lacks vitamins
• Lacks sufficient protein
• Lacks fresh food

…then the body does not receive the signal that it has been ‘fed’.

And the result: you eat again, and again, and again… (cellular) hunger deepens — resulting in a stressed and inflamed body.

“Every bite is either building or breaking down.”

KETO and Carnivore — Why People Choose Them

Many people end up following a keto or carnivore diet not because of ideology, but through personal experience.

• In the case of KETO:
  • Carbohydrate intake decreases
  • Blood sugar levels fluctuate less
  • Feelings of hunger decrease
  • Removes almost all ‘contaminants’
  • Focuses on natural food
• Carnivore:
  • For some, this means simplicity
  • Clarity
  • Less decisions

“Is your food information or an illusion?”

Sugar — Do People ‘Need’ It?

Human hormones crave — and need — a sweet ‘signal’. People do not biologically need white sugar.

But people crave the experience of a sweet taste. And this is where our sweet ‘friends’ straight from nature come into play:

• Monk fruit
• Stevia

These provide the best healthy sweet taste for your cells without a glucose load. For some, this is a bridge — enjoyment without added sugar.

“The body doesn’t need more food, it needs better food.”

Sunlight — The Forgotten, Yet Critically Important ‘Food’

We talk about food, but we forget something very simple and very important: a person does not ‘live’ on food alone. The sun provides a perfect and essential source of vitality for our cells.

Sunlight:

• Gives the body a rhythm in harmony with the universe
• Has a beneficial effect on hormones (melatonin, cortisol)
• Has a positive effect on the body’s energy levels and cell health

Biohacker Gary Brecka has said:

“If you don’t get any natural light in the morning, your body’s biological clock is already a step behind.”

Sunrise — Red Light — Therapy

There is a lot of talk about the red light at sunrise:

• It’s there in the morning, of course
• It interacts with cells differently from blue light or any other type of light

Science has made significant discoveries regarding the benefits of red light — whether from the sun or from a lamp — and research is ongoing.

The benefits of sunlight are evident in several key areas:

• The sun provides energy for the entire ecosystem
• Light consists of different wavelengths (red, blue, etc.), each with different physical properties
• Without the sun, life as we know it would not exist
• Plants use red and blue light for photosynthesis
• Human skin produces vitamin D with the help of the sun’s UV rays
• Light entering through the eyes regulates the circadian rhythm

Therefore: the sun is not simply ‘beneficial’ — it is fundamental to life.

Sunlight and Wavelengths, Health Benefits — Cellular Vitality

• Every type of light has its own wavelength and energy.
• These affect tissues in different ways (e.g., red light penetrates deeper than blue).
• Red light has been the subject of the most research. This field is known as photobiomodulation.

Effects for which there are solid scientific references:

• Affects the mitochondria (the cell’s ‘powerhouses’)
• May increase ATP production (energy in cells)

May help with:

• Wound healing
• Reducing inflammation
• Muscle recovery
• Lowering blood sugar levels

“Do you choose comfort or vitality?”

Water, Salt and the Body

People often say: “Drink more water.”

But in reality, the body functions on the basis of electrolyte balance:

• Sodium
• Potassium
• Magnesium… plus over 60 other minerals and beneficial substances

This means that in certain situations (e.g. sweating, physical activity), a small amount of salt in water is more beneficial and has a positive effect on cell vitality.

Key Figures and Ideas

In addition to Veiko Huuse, Annika Urmi, and biohacker Gary Brecka, Dr Eric Berg will also be speaking on similar topics.

All training courses and advice focus, amongst many other topics, on:

• Insulin
• The effect of carbohydrates
• Fasting
• Breathing

They all emphasise one idea:

“The problem isn’t just what you eat, but also what your body can use.”

Final Thoughts

Human beings are not meant:

• To eat solely for the sake of taste
• To count calories alone
• To eat according to adverts and the ‘medical narrative’

Human beings are meant:

• To be mindful
• To listen to their bodies
• To eat balanced, cell-nourishing food

The question is not: “Does this food taste good?”

…but rather: “Will this food still nourish me after I’ve eaten it?”

“A cell doesn’t ask for flavour; it asks for nutrients.”

“If you don’t choose your food consciously, the pharmaceutical industry will choose it for you.”

The environment doesn’t allow for change: why low-carb and keto diets start at home

“Low Carb and Keto diets start at home” – Annika Urm

Steps to take before you start

• Clear your home of ultra-processed foods: get rid of sugar, bread, wheat flour, rice flour, starch, biscuits, crisps, snack bars, sweet drinks, breakfast cereals, rapeseed oil, cheap vegetable oils, ready meals and any snacks bought ‘just in case’.
• Don’t leave food out in the open: the kitchen table doesn’t have to be a constant reminder to eat. When food is in sight, the brain begins to react to it even if the body isn’t actually hungry.
• Stop snacking all the time: eat proper meals. If you’re really hungry, eat proper food: eggs, meat, fish, broth, cheese, quark or other low-carb/keto-friendly foods.
• Prepare your healthy alternatives in advance: when you cut out sugar and bread, create a whole new world to replace them — keto bread, sugar-free low-carb desserts, eggs, meat, fish, butter, olive oil, stock, collagen, mineral salt, berries, stevia and monk fruit. You can find all the instructions on the www.goldenstevia.com website, under the News category in Annika Urm’s articles; in the ‘Recipes’ category you’ll find recipes, and in the ‘Shop’ category you’ll find the ‘Sugar-Free’ books (yellow and red editions) and all the food you need from the Low Carb Keto online shop. You’ll find 24 different keto baking mixes, monk fruit, stevia, collagen/gelatine, and sea salts to be a great help. You can find cooking videos and lifestyle tips on the Golden Stevia YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@goldenstevia
• Set up your own food supply system: find sources of eggs, dairy products, meat, liver, bones, berries and seasonal produce. Make your own jams, preserves, stocks, bread and proper food.
• Only go to the shops with a shopping list and a full stomach: the shop isn’t a place of entertainment, but a place where the food industry tries to steer what you put in your shopping basket.
• Keep the kitchen closed between meals: the kitchen is closed after dinner. Not ‘just a little nibble’, not a peek in the fridge, not slices of cheese, nuts or quark eaten with a spoon.
• Get enough sleep and minimise your exposure to blue light in the evening: poor sleep makes cravings worse the following day. Light/sunrise in the morning, darkness in the evening, sleep at night.
• Plan ahead for social events: eat beforehand, take your own food with you, don’t stand by the buffet table and, if possible, organise the party yourself.
• Surround yourself with people and situations that support your change: if the people around you mock your health choices, bring sugar into your home and try to push you back into your old way of life, then that is not a neutral environment. That’s the environment that doesn’t allow you to change.

“Willpower isn’t enough when your environment is working against you. Why can’t you give up sugar? Because your environment won’t let you. Low-carb and keto start at home, not with willpower. You don’t need more willpower. You need a new environment.”

Many people believe that becoming healthy starts with willpower. It is commonly believed that if a person cannot give up sugar, bread, snacking, eating in the evening, or a constant craving for sweet things, then they are simply weak. This is one of the biggest lies that today’s food industry feeds people. The real problem is usually not that a person lacks willpower. The real problem is that their environment is working against them. If your cupboards at home are full of bread, biscuits, chocolate bars, crisps, breakfast cereals, sweets, fruit juices, sweet yoghurts and snacks bought ‘just in case’, then you are not living in a neutral environment. You are living in an environment that is constantly tempting you to eat. If food is in plain sight, if there are reserves in the cupboard, if the fridge is full of sweets bought ‘for the children’, if there’s a bowl of sweets on your desk and a cake is brought in at work for every birthday, then you’re not just fighting hunger. You’re fighting against your home, your habits, your dopamine system, your family, your workplace and the entire modern food industry.

In his video “My Biggest Health Mistake (I Hid This for Years)”, Dr Eric Berg explains very clearly that his biggest mistake was not just a poor diet, but a poor environment. The video description highlights the topics “Environment and the processed food diet” and “How to quit sugar and junk food”. His key message is simple: people don’t fail because they don’t want to change, but because their surroundings are designed to keep them eating. In the video and the accompanying post, his steps are very specific: cut out ultra-processed food, stop snacking, don’t keep food in plain sight, find healthy alternatives, avoid blue light in the evening, shop wisely, prioritise sleep, and be cautious at social events.

This is exactly the same logic that Annika Urm has been teaching for years in relation to low- carb, keto and sugar-free living. Low-carb and keto aren’t just ‘diets’ where you have to pull yourself together for a short while. It’s a lifestyle that requires a change in your environment. If your environment stays the same, old habits will creep back in. If your home remains the same, if your family eats the same way, if your workplace still pushes sugar and pastries on you, and if all social occasions revolve around carbohydrates, then you can start over and over again, but you’ll eventually burn out. They don’t fail because they’re weak. They fail because they’re trying to swim against the tide.

Starting a sugar-free lifestyle doesn’t just mean not buying sweets. It means changing the whole system you live by: what you buy for your home, what you keep in plain sight, how you shop, what you take to work, how you handle birthdays, and the people with whom you share your change. Annika Urm has also written about this in her guide to starting a sugar-free life.

Why does the modern food environment make people ill?

People today no longer live in a natural food environment. They do not have to grow, gather, hunt, prepare or wait for food. Food is available all the time. It’s in the shop, at the petrol station, at work, at school, in adverts on your phone, at birthday parties, in the office, at home, in the fridge, in the cupboard, in the car and in your handbag. The problem isn’t just that there’s so much food. The problem is what sort of food it is.

Ultra-processed food is designed to be easy to overeat. It is no longer real food, but an industrial combination of sugar, starch, refined oils, flavour enhancers, aromas, textures and cheap fillers. This sort of food does not really satisfy the body. It sends a quick signal to the brain – dopamine – providing a momentary sense of pleasure, creating addiction and triggering a new craving quite quickly.

We no longer have to rely solely on experience to believe this. Scientific research has shown that ultra-processed food causes people to eat more and promotes weight gain. In a controlled study by the NIH (National Institutes of Health), participants were given either ultra-processed or minimally processed food to eat. Both menus were designed to be as similar as possible in terms of calories, sugar, fat, fibre and macronutrients, but during the ultra-processed food period, people consumed more calories and gained weight. During the period when minimally processed food was consumed, people ate less and lost weight. This means that it’s not just about the calories on paper, but also about the degree of food processing, the speed at which we eat, feelings of fullness, and how food affects human biology.

Annika Urm puts it very bluntly: “If you want to regain your health, avoid these foods like the plague: sugar, rapeseed oil, seed oils (yellow oils, oils in plastic bottles), wheat flour, starch, rice flour, and ultra-processed ready meals.” They are so commonplace in the everyday diet of modern people that people no longer even notice how ubiquitous they are: in bread, pastries, sauces, tinned soups, mayonnaise, ready meals, children’s food, snacks, breakfast cereals and ‘healthy’ bars.”

Annika Urm has also written about how sugar is not just a sweet taste, but a biological factor. Sugar affects blood sugar levels, insulin, appetite, the brain’s reward system and a person’s day- to-day choices. If a person lives in an environment where sugar is constantly available, then it is not simply a matter of free will.

If food makes you feel ill, tired, inflamed, hungry and dependent, then it is not the best medicine for you. Real food – the kind that comes from the farm, the garden, the forest, the sea, animals, the henhouse and your own kitchen – is a completely different matter. Annika Urm wrote about this principle in her article ‘Food is your best medicine’.

Low-carb and keto aren’t a punishment, but a change in your hormonal environment

Low-carb and keto don’t just mean ‘don’t eat sugar’. That’s an oversimplification. In fact, low-carb and keto mean that a person changes both their internal and external environments at the same time. Externally, your home, kitchen, shopping list, working day, social life and food preparation all change. Internally, your blood sugar, insulin levels, feelings of hunger, cravings, energy levels, fat burning and hormonal signals all change.

If a person constantly eats sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, biscuits, crisps, fruit juice and snacks, their body is subject to constant fluctuations in carbohydrates and insulin levels. When blood sugar rises, the body has to deal with it. When blood sugar falls, a new craving arises. And so, from morning till night, a person lives with food on their mind. They cannot understand why they’re constantly craving something, why their hand ‘just reaches out’ in the evening, why they still want something sweet after a proper lunch, why one sweet turns into ten, and why the phrase ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ is repeated year after year.

The American Diabetes Association’s 2019 consensus report states that low-carbohydrate and, in particular, very low-carbohydrate dietary patterns may reduce A1C levels and the need for blood glucose-lowering medication, and that these are among the most extensively studied dietary patterns in relation to type 2 diabetes. A systematic review published in the BMJ also found that a low-carbohydrate diet may help some people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission within six months, although one must be realistic about long-term maintenance and individual suitability.

That’s why a low-carb or keto diet can’t just be about ‘cutting out bread’. If you give up bread, sugar and pasta, but keep the same home, the same pressures at work, the same sweet drawer, the same shopping routine and the same family meals, then you’re still in the same old environment. Low-carb and keto diets really start to work when the healthy choice becomes the easiest choice. This is a particularly personal issue for Annika, as a member of her family has type 1 diabetes. If there is a diabetic in the household, or if a person is pre-diabetic themselves, then making changes on one’s own in a negative environment is not sustainable. In fact, the whole family should change. Not just a sick child, not just a mother, not just one person, but the whole home food environment. If a family member has diabetes and the Christmas dinner includes food high in carbohydrates, their blood sugar will be above normal, and their HI will be ‘high’ even before dessert.

That is precisely why Annika Urm wrote the book “SUHKRUVABA JÕULUD” (Sugar-Free Christmas), in which the entire Christmas menu is low in carbohydrates, gluten-free and sugar- free, so that the whole family can enjoy a healthy, low-carb meal together around the table. This book is also a helpful resource and guide for all people with diabetes. All the recipes contain less than 10 g of carbohydrates (hereinafter referred to as ‘carbs’) per 100 g. It’s hard to believe, even for someone who’s had diabetes for a long time – how is that possible? The brain simply refuses to accept this information. Tip – give it a go yourself! It is easy for a diabetic to check this by measuring their blood sugar.

The same principle is applied in Annika Urm’s first ‘SUHKRUVABA’ cookbook. It’s not just a book of desserts. It is a tool for changing the environment. If a person thinks they have to give up cakes, tarts, pancakes, burgers, pizza and bread for good, they feel as though something has been taken away from them. When you realise that these dishes can be made sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb and keto-friendly, a whole new world opens up to you. The “SUHKRUVABA” I cookbook teaches you how to prepare sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb, keto and diabetic meals, and the recipes include carbohydrate counts.

The first big step: clear your home of anything that holds you back

If a person really wants to change, the first honest question they need to ask themselves at home is: what food is actually around me? Not what I intend to eat on an ideal day, but what is actually in my cupboard, drawer, fridge, freezer and on my worktop.
If you have bread, biscuits, crisps, sweets, sugary drinks, breakfast cereals, energy bars, wheat flour, rice flour, starch, sugar, sweetened yoghurts and ready-made sauces at home, it’s not ‘just in case’. It’s keeping a stockpile from your old life. You can’t build a new life and keep your old one tucked away in a cupboard at the same time.

The hardest part is that you really do have to go through your home. Not just symbolically. For real. Empty out all the cupboards, the fridge, the freezer, the dry goods cupboard, the children’s snack box, the shelf for taking food to work, and the car. Anything that triggers cravings and doesn’t fit with your low-carb or keto goals has to go. This doesn’t mean you have to waste food, but it does mean it mustn’t be in your everyday environment.

If a person is unable to give up sugar, it is not just a psychological problem. This is a physiological and environmental problem.
Annika Urm doesn’t believe that people have to ‘resist a little’ every day. That’s torture. If you know there’s a biscuit in the cupboard, your brain knows it too. If you know there’s ice cream in the freezer, your body knows it too. If you know there’s ‘just one more slice’ of cake left, that one slice calls out to you. If a person has lived for years on a diet of sugar, starch and snacks, the first step towards recovery is not having to look at those triggers all the time.
Replace your favourite foods with low-carb/keto foods!

Annika Urm has created a whole new world of low-carbohydrate, wholesome eating to make your life easier. Low-carb and keto aren’t just diets, but a way of life that starts with changing your environment. Low-carb and keto aren’t a punishment, but a change in your hormonal environment. Learn, step by step, how to clean your kitchen, avoid snacking, shop wisely, and establish a healthy routine.

Annika Urmi’s practical method: convenience remains, fuel quality improves

Annika Urmi’s approach is clear and effective: start by updating your favourite foods. Your daily routine retains its familiar shape, but your metabolic intake of food changes. This approach supports the stability of the nervous system, creates predictability and makes the transition to a sugar-free, low-carb and ketogenic diet feel natural in real life.
You start with the foods you eat every day and create low-carb and keto versions of them, which help steer your metabolism towards stable blood sugar levels, a lower insulin load and fat-based energy utilisation. Annika Urmi’s approach starts from a natural point of departure: foods that people already enjoy are given a new formulation that supports long-term metabolic balance and a sustainable sugar-free lifestyle.

So the solution is: replace your favourite foods with low-carb/keto versions.
Step 1 – Start with your favourite everyday foods

A sugar-free lifestyle starts with your favourite everyday foods. Familiar dishes are given low- carb or keto versions, which help the body gradually transition to using fat as its primary energy source, producing ketone bodies and generating ATP more efficiently.
Ask yourself: what’s my favourite breakfast? What are my favourite lunches and dinners? What’s my favourite sweet flavour and dessert? Every favourite food can be adapted into a low-carb or keto version, so your eating habits remain familiar whilst the quality of your metabolic fuel improves.

Step 2 – replace your everyday foods one by one

Replacing everyday foods with low-carb and keto alternatives reduces your daily glucose load, helps stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels, and increases the nutrient density of your diet. Ordinary bread → keto/low-carb bread. Sugar in coffee or tea → stevia or monk fruit. Margarine and refined seed oils → butter, beef fat, coconut oil, olive oil. Sugar-rich muesli or granola → keto muesli with plain yoghurt or kefir. Oatmeal or semolina porridge → chia seed porridge, a sweet version with berries and stevia or a savoury version with nuts, seeds and olive oil.
This step-by-step replacement supports a stable metabolism, improves the nutritional value of food and helps the body transition towards low-carb energy utilisation.

Keto or low-carb bread isn’t found on the usual shop shelves. It is made by keto bakers,
using special keto baking mixes or following recipes, such as those by Annika Urm,
from the SUHKRUVABA books, or from reliable low-carb recipe sources. This type of bread is based on seed flours, nut flours and fibre-rich ingredients that support a low-carbohydrate diet.
Annika Urm is the author of two cookery books containing guides on how to start living a sugar- free life: SUHKRUVABA I and SUHKRUVABA JÕULUD II. These cookbooks bring together gluten- free, keto, low-carb and diabetes-friendly recipes in a single collection.
A single slice of keto bread usually contains around 1–1.5 g of carbohydrates, and the carbohydrate content per 100 g is usually less than 5 g. This helps to keep your meals within a low-carb framework and supports stable blood sugar and insulin levels.
The Golden Stevia website features over 70 free recipes, including a keto-friendly bread made with linseed and kefir.

Step 3 – establish a stable, low-carb daily eating pattern

A balanced low-carb daily diet is based on protein, healthy fats, fibre-rich vegetables, and nuts and seeds, which help maintain steady energy levels and hormonal balance. Sources of protein include meat, fish, eggs and poultry. Low-carb vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and, in moderation, carrots. Healthy fats include butter, olive oil, beef fat, coconut oil and avocado oil. Sources of fibre include vegetables, chia, flax, nuts and seeds.
Bone broth is a homemade broth made from bones or cartilage, to which natural sea salt or mineral salt is added to support electrolyte balance, fluid balance and daily mineral intake. This dietary pattern supports the coordinated action of the hormones insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, CCK, leptin and ghrelin, helping to maintain appetite regulation, stable blood sugar levels and consistent energy levels throughout the day.

Bone broth and collagen:
Make a habit of regularly consuming homemade bone broth, which contains natural collagen, amino acids and minerals, supporting your joints, skin, connective tissues and the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. From the age of 35, it is advisable to start taking collagen or gelatine regularly, and for those aged 40 and over, a practical daily intake is around 20 g to support the structural strength of joints, tendons and skin.
Collagen, or edible gelatine, is suitable for everyday use in drinks, desserts, broths and meals. It is used in the preparation of desserts, creams, roasts and other dishes, and regular consumption helps to maintain the body’s reserves of structural proteins.

Step 4 – keep the sweet taste within the low-carbohydrate range

A sweet taste remains a natural part of a sugar-free, low-carb lifestyle when the sweet sensation comes from non-glycaemic natural sweeteners that support stable blood sugar levels and insulin balance. Stevia and monk fruit activate sweet taste receptors whilst maintaining metabolic stability.
The keto and low-carb desserts created by Annika Urmi are based on high-quality fats, wholesome proteins and nutrient-rich seed flours, such as linseed flour, almond flour and chia flour. This results in foods that support metabolism, are rich in vitamins and minerals, and have a high nutrient density, offering a naturally sweet taste whilst keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.

Step 5 – preparation, preparation, preparation

Preparation is the practical foundation of a sugar-free, low-carb lifestyle. When low-carb and keto meals, snacks and everyday favourite meals are prepared and readily available, your diet remains consistent, decision fatigue is reduced, and your body can adapt smoothly to a low- carbohydrate metabolism, where blood sugar and insulin levels remain stable.

Step 6 – Hormonal regulation is activated naturally

As carbohydrate intake decreases and the body’s metabolic flexibility improves, the signalling of the hormones GLP-1, CCK, leptin and insulin becomes stronger and more stable. As a result, appetite is curbed, energy levels rise and become more stable, brain fog is reduced, inflammation levels fall, and the body increasingly uses fatty acids and ketone bodies as its daily energy source, supporting long-term low-carb metabolic balance.

Step 7 – Create an environment that supports a sugar-free and healthy lifestyle

Diet is not just a matter of knowledge, but also depends on the environment in which everyday choices are made. When low-carb and keto foods are readily available at home, at work and in everyday life, making the right choices becomes easier, and the need for willpower decreases. Remove sugar, sweets, refined flour products, sugary drinks, processed snacks, rapeseed oil, cheap vegetable oils and ultra-processed ready meals from your home. Replace them with genuine low-carb foods: eggs, meat, fish, stock, butter, olive oil, beef fat, keto bread, sugar-free desserts, berries, collagen, gelatine, mineral salt, stevia and monk fruit.

If the environment supports this goal, a sugar-free lifestyle becomes a permanent way of life rather than a temporary project.

Food must not be left out in the open, because food left out in the open distracts you

Food must not be left on display at all times. It sounds simple, but it’s actually incredibly important. People do not eat only when they feel physically hungry. They also eat when they see food, smell food, remember food, or associate a particular situation with eating. If there’s a bowl of nuts, fruit, energy bars, biscuits or ‘healthy’ snacks on the kitchen table, these aren’t neutral objects. They’re cues. They tell the brain: have one. Taste it. Try it. You’re tired. You deserve it. Just a little. And from that point on, it’s no longer a question of willpower, but rather that the environment has already decided for you.

If you’re following a low-carb or keto diet at home, your kitchen table should only contain things that support your new lifestyle: water, mineral salt, tea, coffee, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon, coconut oil, or the utensils you use to prepare real food.

Whether the food is in the cupboard or the fridge. Better still: only keep food at home that you actually want to eat. Then you won’t have to struggle every day. You can simply get on with life and eat whatever you have at home, because moments of weakness are bound to happen – but then you’ll only be eating genuinely ‘healthy food’. The modern definition of ‘healthy food’ has been so distorted that nobody understands it anymore, nor what is sensible, balanced, and so on. These are just meaningless words that seem like nothing more than ‘free’ excuses. They simply don’t work.

Snacking keeps the body in ‘eating mode’ all the time

Constant snacking is one of the biggest obstacles to a low-carb and keto lifestyle. People often say, “But I don’t eat much.” But if they take an honest look, they’ll realise they’re snacking all day long. Coffee with milk in the morning, then a couple of bites, then some nuts, then some fruit, then a bar, then something at work, then a bit of cheese from the fridge at home, then something else in the evening to go with my tea. It might not seem like a big meal, but for the body it’s a constant signal: food is coming all the time.
Low-carb and keto diets work much better when a person eats proper meals and allows for a break between meals. That doesn’t mean starving yourself. This means that a person eats enough protein, fat, minerals, and real food to keep their body happy. If you get really hungry, you don’t have to eat a sugary snack. Eat an egg, some meat, fish, ham, broth or something that’s actually proper food. When the body gets proper food, the need to constantly search for something diminishes.

Annika Urm has written here about how the body actually functions at the level of carbohydrates, insulin, fats and cellular energy:

Annika Urm: “I usually eat within a 6–8-hour window and have two main meals a day.” Intermittent fasting suits most people. Intermittent fasting is not suitable for everyone: it is not a solution for those who are underweight, pregnant, or in special circumstances such as having had their gallbladder removed, etc. However, for those who are overweight, insulin-resistant, aged 40 or over, constantly hungry, or suffering from metabolic dysfunction, regulating one’s eating window is often a very important tool. Not because a person needs to punish themselves, but because the body needs a break.

Healthy alternatives should be prepared before you get hungry

You can’t simply cut out sugar, bread, pasta and biscuits and be left with nothing. That’s why so many people fail. They cut out their old foods, but don’t establish a new system. Then they start to feel as though ‘I’m not allowed to eat anything anymore’, and eventually they revert to their old habits.
Low-carb and keto diets require substitutes. These don’t have to be artificial or complicated. They need to be real. Eggs, meat, fish, chicken, butter, olive oil, avocado, sour cream, cheese, quark, vegetables, stock, gelatine, collagen, mineral salt, berries in small quantities, sugar-free sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit, keto breads, keto baking mixes, sugar-free jams and desserts made from real food.
Watch the video to see how easy it is to make bread using Golden Stevia bread mix:
People need a list of permitted foods, not just a list of forbidden ones. If all you can think about is ‘you mustn’t’, it won’t work. It needs to be clear what to eat in the morning, what to take to work, what to do when you’re hungry, what to eat in the evening, what to give your child, and what to do when you have a sweet tooth.
Annika Urmi’s own morning often begins with mineral salt water, collagen and lemon.
Next up might be eggs, coffee with cream, broth or a proper meal. Lunch could consist of meat, fish or chicken, served with vegetables and a side of fat. In the evening, you could have a warm meal, protein, minerals and some peace and quiet. If you have a sweet tooth, you don’t have to eat sugar; you can make a low-carb dessert using stevia or monk fruit.

Food doesn’t come from the shop — create your own food-sourcing journey

One of the most important points Annika Urm makes to people is this: food doesn’t actually come from the shop.
A shop is a convenient place to buy packaged goods, but real food comes from the countryside, the farm, the sea, the forest, the garden, the market, animals, the henhouse, the berry bush and your own kitchen.
If a person really wants to improve their health, they need to establish a new way of sourcing their food. Annika Urm gets her raw milk and dairy products – such as kefir, sour cream, cheese and quark – from the farm. Meat, bones and liver come from farms or the market and are kept in the freezer. Eggs are a real treasure, as they are one of the most nutritious foods and are consumed in large quantities on a low-carb diet. Annika Urm eats 5–10 eggs a day. Pick berries in season. Use tomatoes in season. Make jams without sugar and in small jars so that they don’t go to waste once opened. The best low-carb jams are made from tart berries, such as blackcurrants — your source of vitamin C in winter.

If you don’t have a sugar substitute to hand, make the jam without sugar and add the sweetener later. Make preserves from cucumbers, mushrooms and soup bases, such as borscht. This is real food and a proper supply, not the ultra-processed stuff you find in shops.
In the Estonian climate, the seasonal nature of low-carb and keto diets makes perfect sense. In summer, there are berries, tomatoes, cucumbers, green vegetables and fresh produce. In autumn, there are apples and pumpkins. Once these are over, it’s perfectly natural to switch to a low- carbohydrate diet from November to May: eggs, meat, fish, stock, fermented foods, cheese, butter, cabbage, mushrooms, preserves, keto bread and hot meals. It’s not extreme. That’s much more natural than eating Spanish strawberries all year round, tomatoes glistening with chemicals, and sugar-laden shop-bought drinks.

A shop is a trap if you go there hungry and without a plan

A shop really is one of the most dangerous places, because you’re not the only one making decisions there. There, the lighting, the smells, the layout of the shelves, the promotions, the packaging, the discounts, the snacks by the checkout and everything else that the food industry has spent decades developing to encourage people to buy more all make the decisions for you.

Rule number one. Don’t go to the shop when you’re hungry. When you’re hungry, you don’t make sensible decisions in the supermarket. You buy a quick energy boost. You buy whatever looks good, smells good and promises comfort.
The second rule is the list. If you don’t have a list, the shop will write one for you.
The third rule is: don’t just wander aimlessly along the aisles between the shelves. The aisles are full of biscuits, crisps, breakfast cereals, energy bars, sweet drinks, sauces, stock cubes, semi- prepared foods and ready meals.

Annika Urm: “Make your own food. That’s the only way you know what you’re eating, what’s in your food and where it comes from.”

The kitchen must be ‘closed’ between meals

One very practical rule is: the kitchen is closed between meals. It sounds funny, but it works. Once you’ve finished eating, the kitchen is shut down. Wash up, wipe down the worktops, put the food away, switch off the light. No ‘I’ll just have a look in the fridge’. No ‘just one slice of cheese’. No ‘a bit of quark’. No “just a spoonful of nut butter”. These little nibbles keep the old pattern alive. Eating in the evening isn’t usually down to actual hunger. Often it’s down to tiredness, stress, blue light, poor sleep, habit, restlessness or a need for comfort. You don’t need to reach for a biscuit to deal with this. Have a cup of tea. Tea can be so much more than just a warm drink. Estonian nature is full of plants that can be foraged, dried and used: nettles, meadowsweet, rosehip blossoms and berries, linden blossoms, lavender, peppermint, red clover, rowan berries and much more. Drink warm tea in the evening; in the morning, you can pour hot water over the same infusion and drink it as a vitamin- and mineral-rich drink.
I have heard doctors and ‘health experts’ warning against medicinal herbs, saying that their effects have not been proven. Annika Urm responds: “If someone is afraid of nettle tea but isn’t afraid of sugar, pastries, alcohol, the side effects of medication or ultra-processed ready meals, then their priorities are all wrong.”

Of course, you should listen to your body. If a plant doesn’t suit you, don’t eat it. If the tea is too strong on an empty stomach and makes you feel sick, make it weaker or have something to eat with it. But people shouldn’t fear nature any more than they should fear industry.
The same applies to the Sun. Don’t harm yourself. Don’t try to become a ‘superhuman’ overnight. Nature doesn’t work in such a way that you take everything at once, just once a year. Nature goes about its business every day, quietly, in its own rhythm. People must learn to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature once again, rather than constantly seeking quick fixes.

The kitchen is closed

Sleep, light, and the morning dictate the cravings of the day

Switch off mobile phones, computers and LED lights two hours before going to bed. It is important to avoid blue light in the evening and to ensure a good night’s sleep. Sleep has a direct impact on blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity, feelings of hunger, stress hormones and the choices we make the following day. If a person sleeps poorly, the next day their body won’t fancy broccoli or light meals. He wants a quick energy boost, coffee, something sweet, crunchy, salty, and a strong stimulant. Studies have linked night-time light and sleep disturbances to impaired glucose and insulin regulation.
For Annika Urm, a good day begins with light. Ideally, the day begins at sunrise. If you can’t see the first hour of daylight, then at least look towards the sun for 10–20 minutes when you get up, whilst outside, on the balcony or by the window. If the sun isn’t visible, look in the direction where the sun should be. That’s still better than starting the day in a cave, with your phone in your face, blue light in your eyes and stress in your head. Morning light signals to your body that the day has begun. Evening darkness signals to your body that the day is ending. If you confuse these signals, you won’t understand why you’re tired, hungry, irritable, and have lost control in the evening.
In practical terms, this means: light in the morning, darkness in the evening. Reduce bright light 1–2 hours before bed. Put your phone on night mode, or better still — put it away. Don’t sit in the kitchen at night. Don’t look in the fridge. Don’t eat in front of a screen. Establish an evening routine: close the kitchen, have a cup of tea, dim the lights, head to the bedroom and go to sleep.

Social events are where people break their keto diet at the weekend

One of the most common low-carb and keto patterns goes like this: you start on Monday, reach ketosis by Friday, and then on Friday evening or Saturday you go to a party, a social gathering, a work event, a birthday party or a restaurant – and the ketosis is gone. On Sunday, you feel guilty; on Monday, you start all over again. And so it goes, week after week. People think they lack willpower, but in reality they lack a plan for dealing with social situations. Social occasions are complicated because they involve a number of factors: food, alcohol, peer pressure, company, emotions, habit and the desire not to stand out. People don’t want to be ‘that odd one out’ who doesn’t eat cake. They don’t want to have to explain why they aren’t having a slice of pizza. They don’t want to offend the hostess. They don’t want to be the only one in the office who isn’t eating the kringle. But ultimately, you have to ask yourself: do you want to be polite in front of everyone else’s sweet treats, or do you want to get your health back?

I have also written here about starting a sugar-free lifestyle and planning for social situations:
The solution isn’t for a person to stay at home and stop socialising altogether. The solution is planning. Eat your fill before the event. Take your own food with you. If possible, choose the venue yourself. If possible, host the party at your own home, as that way you’re in control of the environment. Let people know in advance that they shouldn’t bring sugary cakes, chocolate or crisps to your home as ‘gifts’. People can bring flowers, tea, mineral water, cheese, meat, berries or anything else that’s suitable. If you really want to change, you need to learn to protect your energy and your environment.
Here, too, lies a very difficult truth: sometimes, getting better means you have to be selective about the people around you. If one person wants to change and another makes fun of them, brings sugar home, sabotages their efforts, takes offence or says ‘once won’t do any harm’, then this isn’t simply a matter of dietary preference. It’s an environment that doesn’t allow for change. Sometimes it can even bring an end to a 20-year relationship or marriage, when one person chooses health, and the other chooses their old life. It sounds harsh, but that’s real life.

Why we need to start choosing the people and situations around us

“You are what your thoughts, your environment, and your food are.”

The workplace can be just as dangerous as the biscuit tin at home

Many people talk about home, but the workplace is often even worse. In the office, there are bowls of sweets, birthday cakes, biscuits next to the coffee machine, pastries for meetings, the pressure to ‘just have one’, and lunch offers where the low-carb option amounts to, at best, a dry lettuce leaf. A person may be a star at home, but they fall short at work because they haven’t adapted to their working environment.
Your environment shapes your habits: how to really start a low-carb and keto lifestyle. Take your own food with you. Keep some mineral salt, tea, stock, hard-boiled eggs, meat, cheese or other suitable options at work. Don’t go out for lunch on an empty stomach to a place where the only options are pasta, bread and dessert. If it’s someone’s birthday at work, eat beforehand. If there’s a pretzel on the table, don’t stand next to it. If people ask why you’re not eating, reply calmly: “I’m looking after my blood sugar and my health.” You don’t need to justify yourself. A healthy person isn’t made by saying ‘no’ a hundred times a day. A healthy person is made by creating an environment where they don’t need to say ‘no’ a hundred times a day.

Low-carb and keto diets require substitutes

The aim of low-carb and keto diets is not just weight loss. Weight is just one result.
The real aim is to change the body’s internal environment: blood sugar, insulin, hunger signals, energy, inflammation, hormones and the brain’s use of fuel. When a person eats less sugar and starch and more real food, protein and healthy fats, the body’s entire signalling system changes. He no longer needs to eat every two hours. He doesn’t have to be on the lookout for sweets all the time. The energy becomes more stable. Food no longer controls people; people control their food. That is why Annika Urm says that low-carb and keto are hormonal lifestyles. If insulin levels are consistently high, it is harder to burn fat. When blood sugar levels fluctuate, so do your mood and energy levels. When you don’t sleep well, your cravings increase. When the environment is full of triggers, the brain is constantly in ‘food-seeking’ mode. If a person changes their diet, exposure to light, sleep patterns, shopping habits, home environment, and social environment all at once, their body will change as well.

Summary: the environment shapes habits; habits shape outcomes

That is why preparation is the foundation of the whole sugar-free, low-carb and keto lifestyle. If you have suitable food at home, if low-carb/keto versions of your favourite foods have been prepared, and if your daily routine has been planned in advance, you don’t have to make decisions from scratch every day. Planning ahead reduces decision fatigue and makes it easier to make healthy choices.

Becoming healthier doesn’t start with a person ‘pulling themselves together’. It starts with them stopping self-sabotage in their own home. If there is no sugar, bread, crisps or biscuits at home, a person doesn’t have to struggle with them every day. If food isn’t in plain sight, there are no constant visual triggers. If a trip to the shop is planned, your shopping basket is no longer dictated by cravings. If the kitchen is closed in the evening, tiredness doesn’t turn into snacking. If your sleep is protected, your blood sugar and cravings are also better under control. If social events are planned carefully, one weekend won’t ruin the whole week.

Low-carb and keto aren’t just ‘diets’. It’s a lifestyle that will transform your home, your kitchen, your workplace, your shopping habits, your sleep, your relationships, your hormones and, ultimately, your health.
If the environment remains the same, people usually remain the same too. When the environment changes, people can change too.

The environment shapes our habits. Habits shape outcomes. And the results shape a new life. I have written about the weight loss and health benefits of the keto and low-carb diets here: I wrote about the links between cholesterol, inflammation and blood vessel health here:

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TO TAKE IN CONCLUSION

• Have a big clear-out at home: sugar, bread, wheat flour, rice flour, starch, crisps, biscuits, sweets, juices, breakfast cereals, energy bars, rapeseed oil, cheap vegetable oils and ultra-processed ready meals must all be removed from your home.
• Tidy up the kitchen worktop: food isn’t just for decoration. The kitchen table should only contain water, tea, coffee, mineral salt, lemon, apple cider vinegar, olive oil or kitchen utensils.
• Compile a list of permitted foods: eggs, meat, fish, chicken, liver, stock, butter, olive oil, avocado, cheese, sour cream, quark, vegetables, berries, collagen, gelatine, mineral salt, keto bread, stevia and monk fruit.
• Stop snacking: eat 2–3 proper meals. Between meals, drink water, mineral water, tea or broth.
• Set up your own food supply system: find sources of eggs, dairy products, meat, liver, bones, berries and seasonal produce. Make your own jams, preserves, stocks, bread and proper food.
• Only go to the shops with a shopping list and a full stomach: don’t stroll the snack aisles. Choose real food: meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, sour cream, quark, cabbage, cucumber, green vegetables, salt, tea, coffee, mineral water
• Tidy up the kitchen in the evening: after dinner, wash up, put the food away, make the tea, and switch off the lights. The kitchen is closed
• Sleep hygiene: light/sunrise in the morning, less blue light in the evening, put your phone away, and keep the bedroom dark.
• Plan ahead for social events: eat beforehand, take your own food with you, choose the location or organise the party yourself.
• Choose an environment that supports your new life: if the people, places and habits are holding you back, you’ll need to change them too. Good health cannot flourish in a toxic environment.

From an external perspective, this looks like a contradiction.

From an internal perspective, it is the precise fulfillment of a purpose.

Three Levels of Consciousness, Three Languages

In my first book, The All (Kõiksus), I describe in detail the nature of three distinct states of human existence. Humanity does not exist in a single unified consciousness. Walking this Earth simultaneously are:

1. The sleeping human being
2. The awakening one
3. The awakened one

All three read the exact same words, yet each hears an entirely different message.

If I were to write purely in the language of light, in absolute silence, and using only high-frequency concepts, the sleeping would hear nothing, the awakening would feel confused, and the awakened would understand—yet doing so would fail to fulfill my role in this world. If I wrote exclusively of light, love, and peace, a vast portion of humanity would never reach their true selves, simply because their consciousness has not yet learned how to read silence.

The Language of the Matrix Is Not the Language of the Soul

I do not write within the matrix because I belong to it; I write within the matrix because people who are not yet ready to receive the language of light reside there.

Within the programs of the matrix:

• Learning occurs through contrast.
• Awakening is triggered through pain, mirrors, and shock.
• Understanding comes through words that are sharp, direct, and sometimes uncomfortable.

When I address responsibility, “being an idiot,” manipulations, or the dark side of human behavior, I am not attacking any individual. I am communicating from program to program. Light requires no defense; only the ego does.

Do I Pass Judgment?

The answer is both no and yes, depending on your vantage point.

On the plane of pure light, I never pass judgment. There is no good or bad there—only experience, learning, and expanding consciousness. In human language and through the vocabulary of the matrix, however, these texts can feel judgmental. That choice is intentional, because:

• Some individuals wake up only when they recognize themselves in a mirror.
• Some require a jolt rather than a gentle stroke.
• Some cannot hear quiet love, but they will listen to an honest, unvarnished word.

I do not force anyone to walk my path. I do not ask anyone to follow me. I am not building a doctrine that demands blind belief. I create mirrors.

Who Am I in This Role?

In this physical incarnation, I am known as Veiko Huuse. My soul originates from the pure light source of The All (The creator-light source of the soul) and has carried the unique light code VE-HU-144-A1-∞ since the moment of creation.

This does not make me superior to anyone; it endows me with responsibility. My role is not to be comfortable. My role is not to be liked by everyone. My role is to bring light into places where light rarely dares to tread—into the dark web, into politics, and into the shadow aspects of the human condition. I do this not to fight, but to make things visible.

A Message to All Three

• If you are sleeping, these texts may irritate you. That is normal.
• If you are awakening, these texts may confuse you. That is part of the process.
• If you are awakened, you will see the silence and intention resting behind these lines.

I am not in contradiction with myself; I am simply using different languages to convey the very same light.

Listening Within

Most importantly: I do not ask you to believe me. I invite you to listen to yourself. If something within me resonates with you, it is not my light you are feeling—it is your own light responding.

This post has been created from the pure light stream of The All (Kõiksus) and the consciousness of the Light Source, in union with the beings of the light network who need no name or form, for they are already within us and with us.

In silence.

In honesty.

In truth.

In love.

In Peace and Light,

How artificial oestrogen in plastic packaging disrupts your hormones and your brain

Substances found in plastics, such as BPA and phthalates, act as artificial oestrogens, directly disrupting your endocrine balance. Crucially, this effect occurs even at minute, micro-level quantities—far below official “safe” legal limits.

In the retail sector, food packaging and sold food items are linked to more than 100 serious health conditions. These represent systemic categories of disease rather than isolated illnesses:

1. Hormonal Disorders
   • Oestrogen dominance
   • Thyroid disorders
   • General hormonal imbalances
2. Fertility and Reproductive Health
   • Male and female infertility
   • Decline in sperm quality
   • Menstrual cycle disruptions
3. The Brain and Nervous System
   • Anxiety
   • ADHD
   • Memory impairment
   • Neurodevelopmental disorders
4. Metabolism and Chronic Diseases
   • Obesity
   • Type 2 diabetes
   • Metabolic syndrome
5. Cancer
   • Breast cancer
   • Prostate cancer
   • Thyroid cancer
   • Liver cancer
6. Immune System
   • Autoimmune diseases (e.g., Hashimoto’s thyroiditis)
   • Chronic systemic inflammation
7. Cardiovascular System
   • High blood pressure (hypertension)
   • Heart disease

What Is the Artificial Oestrogen Found in Plastic?

Plastic is far more than just a single material; it is a chemical mix formulated with additives to make products soft, flexible, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.

Common Chemical Additives:

• BPA (bisphenol A)
• Phthalates
• PFAS compounds (“forever chemicals”)
• PCBs and pesticide residues

Many of these compounds act as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in the human body. This means they:

• Mimic natural hormones (particularly oestrogen).
• Block essential hormone receptors.
• Alter the body’s natural production and breakdown of native hormones.

What Is Actually Happening Inside Your Body

The human body relies entirely on hormones for systemic communication. These chemical messengers deliver explicit signals to cells regarding:

• Energy production and metabolic rates.
• Growth, tissue repair, and physical recovery.
• Cognitive processing and neurological function.
• Reproductive capabilities and fertility.

When a synthetic compound mimicking a hormone enters the bloodstream, the body cannot distinguish it from a natural hormone. BPA binds directly to oestrogen receptors, broadcasting false chemical signals throughout the body. Phthalates, meanwhile, block testosterone activity and disrupt normal physical development.

This does not result in a minor, isolated effect—it causes a systemic breakdown of cellular communication.

Why Does Plastic Become Soft—and Why Is This Dangerous?

Plastic does not become flexible naturally. Manufacturers blend in phthalates to grant flexibility to items like water bottles, food containers, and cosmetics packaging.

These additives are not chemically bound to the plastic matrix and easily leach into your body through food, drinking water, and skin absorption. Heat, dietary fats, and storage duration significantly accelerate this chemical migration.

The Internal Cascade:

• The body misidentifies these leached chemicals as natural oestrogen.
• The endocrine system receives inaccurate regulatory signals.
• Homeostasis and systemic balance are completely disrupted.

How Exposure Affects the Brain and Nervous System

When the endocrine system receives distorted signals, the biological consequences extend far beyond basic hormone counts. Hormones directly regulate neurological operations, including neurotransmitter activity, synaptic development, and neural network formation.

When BPA and phthalates accumulate in the body:

• Neurotransmitter balance is altered.
• Brain development is disrupted (especially during early developmental stages).
• Emotional processing and executive behaviour are modified.

Clinical studies link this exposure to:

• Elevated anxiety levels.
• Concentration difficulties and focus impairment.
• Reduced learning capacity.
• Chronic memory deficits.

This impact is rarely instantaneous; it represents a gradual, cumulative shift that occurs as the nervous system is subjected to constant, incorrect hormonal signaling over extended periods.

Effects on the Thyroid, Metabolism, and Energy Levels

Beyond reproductive signaling, these environmental chemicals target the thyroid gland, which controls the body’s baseline metabolic rate.

BPA, Phthalates, and PFAS Compounds:

• Disrupt the production of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3).
• Impair hormone transport proteins in the bloodstream.
• Reduce cellular receptor sensitivity to thyroid signals.
• Interfere with the peripheral conversion of T4 into active T3.

This often manifests not as a clear-cut, diagnosable medical condition, but as a functional disorder where the body fails to operate at peak capacity.

Common Manifestations:

• Chronic physical fatigue
• Sluggish metabolism
• Cold intolerance
• Persistent “brain fog”
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight

The thyroid gland is particularly vulnerable to environmental toxins because it concentrates iodine and relies on dense blood circulation. Consequently, many individuals feel unwell despite their standard blood test results falling within conventional “normal” reference ranges.

Key Nutrients Required for Thyroid Function

Reducing EDC exposure is only half the battle; the thyroid also requires targeted nutritional support to manufacture hormones, convert them efficiently, and maintain receptor sensitivity.

• Selenium: Essential for converting T4 into active T3 while simultaneously protecting thyroid tissue from oxidative damage.
• Iodine: A fundamental structural building block for thyroid hormones. Without adequate iodine, the body cannot synthesize T4 or T3, regardless of overall system health.
• Zinc: Supports hypothalamic TRH signaling, enhances thyroid hormone receptor sensitivity, and ensures appropriate tissue response to circulating hormones.

A deficiency in selenium, iodine, or zinc further depresses thyroid output, particularly when the body is already burdened by endocrine disruptors.

Impact on Female Hormones and Fertility

The female hormonal system is exceptionally sensitive to oestrogen-mimicking compounds due to its reliance on a precise balance between oestrogen and progesterone. Disrupting this equilibrium affects the entire reproductive system.

BPA acts as supplemental oestrogen, frequently triggering oestrogen dominance—a state where oestrogen activity far outweighs progesterone. This directly destabilizes the menstrual cycle, ovulation patterns, and overall fertility.

Potential Outcomes:

• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Ovulatory dysfunction
• Reduced overall fertility
• Exacerbated PMS symptoms and severe mood swings

These chemicals also disrupt the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian (HPO) axis, scrambling crucial signaling pathways between the brain and ovaries. Exposure during fetal development or early childhood can permanently alter reproductive organ development and long-term hormonal balance.

Impact on Men: Testosterone Depletion and Development

While endocrine disruption is often framed as a women’s health issue, these compounds pose severe risks to men. Phthalates act as antiandrogens, directly suppressing testosterone activity in the body.

Potential Consequences for Men:

• Marked decline in total testosterone levels
• Reduced sperm count and motility
• Decreased libido
• Loss of physical energy and lean muscle mass

When male exposure occurs during early developmental windows, it can impair structural reproductive growth. In adulthood, it typically presents as a slow, continuous degradation of hormonal vitality.

The Cumulative Burden: The “Mixture Effect”

Humans are never exposed to just one chemical at a time. Every day, exposure occurs across multiple overlapping vectors:

While an isolated dose of a single chemical might be small, daily exposure creates a severe cumulative hormonal burden. The human body does not process these chemicals in isolation; it reacts to the entire “cocktail” simultaneously.

Key Features of Cumulative Exposure:

• Non-linear impact: Low doses can produce disproportionately large biological effects.
• Bioaccumulation: Chemical burdens build up over time.
• Synergistic toxicity: The combined impact of multiple EDCs is often significantly greater than the sum of its individual parts.

How Body Systems Interconnect

Hormones do not act independently. Sex hormones, the thyroid gland, the brain and the immune system are directly linked. If one part is disrupted, the impact is felt in other systems as well.

For example:

• thyroid disorder → slower metabolism → change in hormone balance
• oestrogen dominance → inflammation → strain on the nervous system
• chronic exposure to chemicals → immune system dysfunction → hormonal imbalance

This means that the problem is never just ‘one hormone’, but rather a loss of balance in the whole system.

A single “isolated hormone issue” rarely exists—chemical exposure leads to a systemic loss of physiological balance.

Why “Safe Legal Limits” Are Misleading

Endocrine disruptors do not follow traditional toxicological rules where “the dose makes the poison.” Natural hormones regulate physiological pathways at extremely low concentrations; synthetic hormone mimics act identically at the micro-level.

• Low doses can trigger major changes in hormonal signaling.
• The timing of exposure (e.g., gestation, early childhood, puberty) is often more critical than the sheer volume of the dose.
• Long-term, low-dose exposure causes greater metabolic disruption than a single acute exposure.

Consequently, legal threshold levels categorized as “safe” can still remain biologically active and harmful inside the human body.

Teflon Cookware and PFAS: An Invisible Hormonal Threat

Beyond plastic packaging, non-stick cookware coated with Teflon is a major, underreported source of hormonal disruption. These coatings rely on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)—indestructible chemicals that resist environmental degradation and bioaccumulate in human tissue.

When non-stick pans are heated to high temperatures or their surface coatings become worn, PFAS compounds volatilize into the air and leach into cooked food.

How PFAS Affects the Body:

• Disrupts thyroid hormone balance by altering T3 and T4 ratios.
• Binds to transport proteins in the blood, blocking natural hormone availability to cells.
• Drives systemic oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.
• Impairs fertility and suppresses normal immune responses.

Because the body excretes PFAS very slowly, daily micro-exposures from non-stick cookware compound over time into a significant biological burden.

Tin Canned Packaging: Hidden Risks of Long-Term Storage

Tin cans (TIN) used for canned fish, beans, soups, and vegetables present a distinct chemical risk. Metal packaging is not chemically inert; the inner walls of cans are lined with protective resins or varnishes that typically contain BPA or its functional analogs.

Chemical Risks of Long-Term Canned Storage:

• Chemical Migration: Acidic or fatty foods react with internal synthetic linings, accelerating chemical migration into the food.
• Trace Metal Leaching: Worn or damaged inner coatings expose food directly to underlying aluminum or tin.
• Lipid Oxidation: Prolonged shelf storage oxidizes fats—especially in canned fish—generating harmful oxidative compounds.
• Preservation vs. Neutrality: A long shelf life guarantees microbiological safety, but it does not ensure chemical or hormonal neutrality.

Over months or years on a shelf, continuous contact between the food and inner resin linings increases EDC concentration.

Actionable Canned Food Guidelines:

• Prioritize fresh or frozen whole foods over canned goods.
• If purchasing canned items, verify that the packaging is explicitly BPA-free and consume them promptly.
• Avoid relying on canned foods as a daily diet staple.

Air Pollution and Environmental Toxins

Airborne pollutants act as pervasive environmental endocrine disruptors that enter the bloodstream directly via respiration.

Inhaled Pollutants:

• Fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10)
• Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ground-level ozone (O3)
• Airborne heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium)
• Volatile agricultural pesticides

Impact on Thyroid and Hormones

Due to its high vascularity and reliance on iodine uptake, the thyroid gland easily absorbs airborne toxins:

• PM2.5 particles physically damage thyroid follicular cells, impairing hormone synthesis.
• NO2 and ozone disrupt feedback loops between the brain and the thyroid gland.
• Heavy metals block hormone receptors and alter normal cellular responses.

This atmospheric load manifests as elevated TSH levels (indicating the thyroid is struggling to keep up), unbalanced T3/T4 ratios, sluggish metabolism, and chronic low energy. It can also trigger autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.

Pesticides and Household Cleaners

Agricultural pesticides (organophosphates, synthetic herbicides, fungicides) and home cleaning chemicals are engineered specifically to alter biological systems.

Agricultural Pesticides: Regular intake of pesticide residues via non-organic food creates low-grade, constant exposure. Pesticides inhibit thyroid hormone production, block enzymatic pathways required for hormone synthesis, and reduce cellular receptor sensitivity.

Household Cleaners and Personal Care: Cleaning agents, air fresheners, laundry products, and cosmetics frequently contain phthalates and synthetic fixatives disguised under generic ingredient terms like “fragrance” or “parfum”. These compounds enter the body via dermal absorption and inhalation, driving continuous baseline inflammation and hormonal instability.

When combined with plastics, non-stick cookware, and air pollution, these household products overload the body’s adaptive capacity.

How the Body Eliminates Endocrine Disruptors

The human body possesses innate biological mechanisms to break down and excrete environmental toxins. However, modern exposure levels frequently exceed natural elimination rates.

Detoxification is not a commercial product, a juice fast, or a powder—it is an ongoing biological process executed by the liver, gut, kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin.

Phase 1 Liver Detox: Chemical Processing

Using cytochrome P450 enzymes, the liver chemically modifies lipid-soluble toxins. This initial step creates intermediate compounds that are often more reactive than the original toxin. Phase 1 requires robust antioxidant protection, B vitamins, and compounds found in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts) to prevent metabolic bottlenecks.

Phase 2 Liver Detox: Neutralization and Binding

During Phase 2, the liver binds (conjugates) these reactive intermediates with specific molecules to render them water-soluble and safe for excretion. Glutathione is the central protective molecule for this phase.

Phase 2 requires sulfur-rich foods (garlic, onions, eggs), avocados, and adequate dietary protein for amino acid supply. If Phase 1 operates faster than Phase 2, toxic intermediates accumulate, exacerbating oxidative tissue damage.

Metabolic Pathways and Hormonal Support

Because BPA, phthalates, and PFAS mimic oestrogen, the liver must process them using the exact same pathways reserved for endogenous hormones.

• DIM (Diindolylmethane): Supports healthy oestrogen metabolism by encouraging conversion into less reactive metabolites, though it cannot compensate for an overloaded Phase 2 liver process or insufficient glutathione.
• Thyroid Regulation: Thyroid hormones set the overall metabolic rate for liver detoxification. Optimal levels of selenium, iodine, and zinc are crucial for maintaining efficient processing speeds.

The Role of the Gut, Kidneys, and Lymphatic System

Once processed by the liver, toxic metabolites are routed to the intestines via bile or to the kidneys via blood.

• The Gut: High dietary fibre is essential to bind waste products in the stool. Without adequate fibre, metabolized EDCs can be reabsorbed back into circulation through the intestinal wall (enterohepatic circulation).
• Kidneys and Hydration: Water-soluble metabolites require consistent daily water intake for efficient urinary excretion.
• Lymphatic Movement: The lymphatic system transports cellular waste out of tissues into circulation. Because the lymphatic network lacks a central pump, it relies on physical muscle movement, exercise, and sweating to maintain flow.

Actionable Steps: Reducing Your Everyday Burden

You cannot control global environmental pollution, but you can dramatically reduce your personal daily exposure by modifying your home environment and lifestyle habits.

1. Kitchen and Food Storage

• Never heat food in plastic: Heat dramatically accelerates chemical leaching into food. Always use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel containers for heating and storing food.
• Upgrade drinkware: Avoid plastic water bottles—especially when exposed to warmth. Use glass or stainless steel bottles, and use a high-quality home water filter to reduce PFAS and heavy metals.
• Swap non-stick cookware: Replace worn Teflon or non-stick pans with cast iron, stainless steel, or 100% ceramic cookware.
• Prioritize whole foods: Choose fresh or frozen produce over canned items. Select high-quality, organic proteins and wild-caught fish when possible to minimize bioaccumulated toxins.

2. Personal Care and Household Hygiene

• Eliminate synthetic fragrances: Avoid products listing generic “fragrance” or “parfum.” Opt for fragrance-free or naturally derived cleaning and personal care products.
• Minimize paper receipt handling: Thermal receipts are heavily coated with unbound BPA/BPS, which absorbs rapidly through the skin. Choose digital receipts when possible and wash your hands after handling printed receipts.

3. Targeted Nutritional Support

• Cruciferous & Sulfur-Rich Foods: Incorporate broccoli, cabbage, kale, garlic, onions, and eggs to fuel Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver pathways.
• Key Minerals: Consume Brazil nuts (selenium), seaweed and seafood (iodine), and pumpkin seeds or oysters (zinc) to support thyroid function.
• Protein & Fibre: Maintain adequate protein intake to support glutathione synthesis, and eat plenty of dietary fibre to prevent intestinal reabsorption of processed toxins.
• Hydration: Sip clean water steadily throughout the day to support kidney excretion.

4. Lifestyle and Environment

• Prioritize Movement & Sweating: Daily walking, physical exercise, and sauna usage stimulate lymphatic drainage and support natural excretion pathways.
• Improve Indoor Air Quality: Ventilate living spaces regularly, use range hoods while cooking, and spend time in clean, natural outdoor environments.
• Manage Stress & Sleep: Chronic stress keeps the body in a continuous “survival mode,” suppressing repair and detoxification processes. Maintain a consistent sleep routine, maximize natural morning sunlight, and minimize artificial light exposure at night to preserve baseline endocrine balance.

Summary

Chemicals found in plastics—including BPA, phthalates, and PFAS—are active endocrine disruptors that mimic natural oestrogen, interfering with thyroid health, reproductive function, metabolism, and brain signaling. Because we face simultaneous daily exposure across food packaging, cosmetics, household products, and air pollution, these low-dose exposures create a powerful cumulative burden.

While you cannot eliminate every environmental exposure, taking targeted steps at home—eliminating plastic food heat exposure, avoiding synthetic fragrances, choosing clean cookware, and supporting your liver and thyroid with proper nutrition—gives your body the leverage it needs to maintain long-term hormonal balance.

Author Annika Urm – Annika Urm is a financial manager with a master’s degree, whose background is in accounting and management, and who developed a deep understanding of the logic of balance and equilibrium. While studying medical nursing, she discovered that the human body functions on the same principle as a financial balance sheet: health does not depend on individual indicators, but rather on whether the system is in balance.

Annika focuses on the human body as a whole, in which fluid balance, electrolytes, acid-base balance, vitamins, minerals, hormones, and metabolism all play a key role.

Annika takes a systematic approach to health—looking at both test results and the person behind them, and always asking what the body is lacking, what it has in excess, and how to restore balance.

This approach is particularly evident in intensive care, where the patient is unable to speak, and decisions are made based on physiology, test results, and clinical logic. For Annika, this is not an exceptional situation, but a reflection of the fact that everyone’s health ultimately boils down to the same principle—the body’s balance.

In restoring balance, he also considers the regulation of the nervous system and metabolism to be important, where sleep, physical activity (especially strength training), adherence to the circadian rhythm, and the alternation between cold and heat play a central role as physiological signals that teach the body to adapt and recover. In his view, these are not “lifestyle tips,” but rather part of the body’s biological regulation and mechanisms for maintaining health.

In addition to nursing, Annika explores the ketogenic diet as one possible tool for supporting metabolic balance, but her primary interest and passion have always been the same: human health and the body’s ability to heal itself when that balance is in place.
