b) Reduced ability to utilize fuel for energy due to nutrient deficiencies.
c) Unstable mood and energy levels.
d) Weight gain.
e) Persistent fuel and energy shortages.
f) Frequent poor sleep, which can eventually affect everyone over time.
g) Strain on your hormonal system, leading to hormone imbalances.
h) A downward spiral of negative effects.
To address these issues, follow the guidelines provided here and visit Skolnikoff.com for our comprehensive resource, The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook, which features our exclusive OFF formula.
Adopting a low glycemic index diet can help manage blood sugar and hormone levels, reduce stress, support adrenal function, stabilize energy and mood, and aid in weight loss. This diet is also highly beneficial for heart health.
How to Eat!
- The Skolnikoff Method strongly advises that you eliminate complex and processed carbohydrates from your diet for now. This should be done only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider who is trained in The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook.
- Avoid stimulants like caffeine, sugar, alcohol, energy drinks, green tea, white tea, black tea, and ginseng. Stimulants prompt your adrenal glands to release stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol, which can be harmful. While some supplements may contain these ingredients, they can still be beneficial. However, consuming them as regular foods or beverages is not advisable. If you consume alcohol, it’s better to have it only a few days a week and not consecutively to give your body time to detoxify.
- Steer clear of dead, processed, and junk foods, as they do not contribute to rebuilding a healthy body and deplete essential nutrients. Examples include corn chips, potato chips, rice cakes, bread, pasta, pop tarts, baked goods, candy, chocolate, sweets, and fast food items like milkshakes, hamburgers, and pizza.
- Avoid trans fats and rancid fats. Healthy fats are crucial for cell membranes, nerve tissue, and hormone production. Unhealthy fats disrupt these functions. Opt for oils like grape seed, sesame seed, olive oil, and butter, with butter being preferable. To extend the shelf life of oils, add a drop of pure vitamin E oil and store in a cool, dark place, though not in the refrigerator unless it’s cod liver oil.
- Focus on eating real, whole, fresh foods. Specifically, eliminate fruits and fruit juices from your diet. Following this dietary advice, along with The Skolnikoff Method, will yield the best results, as they complement each other.
- Adding sea salt to your food can be beneficial since your adrenal glands require adequate salt. Quality salts like kosher or Himalayan sea salt generally do not cause high blood pressure or heart disease except in rare cases. If you have conditions like kidney disease or significant swelling, consult a healthcare provider about salt intake. Moderation is key for overall health.
- Drink plenty of water, choosing options like Crystal Geyser, Whole Foods 365 Day Value Spring Water, Starkey’s, Aqua Panna, Roxane Spring Water, Trader Joe’s Spring Water, VOSS, Mayacamas Mountain Spring Water, Alhambra Spring Water, and Purely Sedona Artesian Spring Water (non-sparkling). Avoid water from aluminum containers and alkaline water. Ensure proper hydration by drinking enough water that your body can metabolize effectively. Consider using a homeopathic remedy like “China Officinalis” to aid in water metabolism. Drink from glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or brass containers rather than plastic. Although some recommended waters come in plastic, it’s preferable to use glass bottles that can be recycled. The Skolnikoff Method’s focus is solely on helping you achieve your health goals.
What Else Can I Eat, Doctor?
- It’s advisable to eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as wild-caught fish like salmon, herring, and mackerel. Avoid walnuts, flaxseeds, and other nuts due to their impact on your ileocecal valve. Ensure you consume plenty of green leafy vegetables. If you suffer from significant pain, inflammation, or high C-reactive protein levels, you might benefit from an Omega-3 supplement like Tuna Omega-3 Oil, taking two capsules twice daily. However, it’s best not to use this supplement year-round to avoid disrupting your fatty acid balance. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider when using nutritional supplements or medications.
- Use monounsaturated oils, especially extra virgin olive oil, as your primary fat source. If you have high blood pressure or heart disease, consider avoiding oils altogether and sticking to butter and ghee. Canola oil, despite being monounsaturated, is a highly processed oil with fewer benefits compared to olive oil. Flaxseed oil should only be used if recommended by a healthcare provider. Linum B6 is a good choice for brain and estrogen health and helps with sugar metabolism. Butter remains the best option for cooking.
- Aim to eat three to five servings of vegetables daily. Avoid fruits for the first few months. Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables rather than canned, and consume them either slightly cooked, steamed, or raw. Avoid eating raw broccoli as it can negatively impact your thyroid. Limit sugar snap peas and legumes like string beans due to their lectin content. Consuming these occasionally is acceptable.
- Focus on natural protein sources, preferably organic meats free from estrogenic hormones and antibiotics. Avoid man-made deli meats, as some contain wheat products used as binders.
- Eliminate vegetable protein sources such as peas, beans, lentils, and nuts for a few months. These contain cellulose and phytates that are difficult for humans to digest since we lack cellulase enzyme.
- Completely avoid all types of bread, including organic sprouted grain varieties, despite their higher protein and lower carbohydrate content.
- Avoid oils high in Omega-6 fatty acids, including corn, peanut, safflower, sunflower, soybean, and cottonseed oils.
- Eliminate trans-fatty acids found in hydrogenated oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, and most processed foods. Margarine is particularly harmful, akin to plastic rather than food.
- Completely remove complex carbohydrates like bread, pasta, and grains from your diet for several months. This will help your digestive tract heal, allowing you to reintroduce these foods in moderation later.

Chew each bite of food 30 to 50 times. Proper chewing stimulates your periodontal ligaments, which can prevent dental problems and tooth loss. For issues with loose teeth, consider using Biodent.
