Are you MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENT?

We created the Micronutrient Deficiency Challenge to assist you in immediately identifying naked calories in your life, so you can disarm them and take back your health.

This quiz considers many of the aspects of your life, including nutrition, activity, stress level, food shopping and preparation preferences, and cooking techniques. By the time you complete the challenge you will know whether naked calories are present in your life. But don’t worry; there is no passing or failing grade, just knowledge to glean from. The more you learn about yourself and your micronutrient levels, the better equipped you will be to improve your intake and your lifestyle and prevent or reverse disease.

This assessment highlights the areas in your life where you are willfully losing micronutrients. That’s right! You may currently be actively participating in your own micronutrient depletion.

Answer the statements as honestly as you can. Don’t worry about your initial score. What ultimately matters is that you use the breakthrough research, eye-opening information, and pragmatic advice offered in Naked Calories to influence and control your personal micronutrient sufficiency level.

Testimonials

"Naked Calories deserves to become a classic on par with Dr. Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Their six-year expedition to more than 100 countries confirmed once again how modern diets and lifestyle changes sabotage health, leading to the consumption of "naked calories" or foodless-foods devoid of life-giving minerals and enzymes. If there is any book you need to read this season, Naked Calories is it!"

- Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., CNS, New York Times award-winning author of over 30 books on health and healing
