01 · MEET THE FOUNDER

Dr. Keny François
Bastien, MD, MA

Practical food knowledge, made for everyday life.

Dr. Bastien brings medicine, psychology and nutrition together in a guide made for use, not display. His aim is to help ordinary readers recognize the value of familiar foods and ask more useful questions about their health.

THE FLAGSHIP RESOURCE

A kitchen companion
for real-life health questions.

The Nutrition & Chronic-Health Library builds on Kenor’s Common Foods material. Look up a familiar ingredient, explore a topic and connect food, nutrients and individual needs across ten learning modules.

THE IDEA AT THE CENTRE

Different bodies.
Different needs.

Age, life stage, habits and health history can change what each person needs. That is where useful food choices begin.

ADULTS · ENERGY & DAILY LIFEExplore food, everyday routines and the questions that shape your understanding of energy.
ADULTS · INDIVIDUAL CONTEXTAge, habits and health history give each person a different starting point for learning.
CHILDREN · GROWTH & DEVELOPMENTChildren’s needs change as they grow. Bring individual nutrition questions to a qualified professional.
01

One body is not another

Age, life stage, habits and health history can change what a person needs from food.

02

Know your pattern

Notice how energy, digestion, sleep and daily demands change what works for you.

03

Learn before you act

Understanding why a choice matters helps you ask better questions and use the information wisely.

START WITH WHAT MATTERS TODAY

Find the concern.
See the foods connected to it.

Energy, digestion, sleep, stress, inflammation and circulation: start with what matters to you. Find your starting point in ten connected modules exploring familiar foods, nutrients, everyday habits and individual needs.

FIND YOUR STARTING POINT

Ten modules. Your everyday questions.

Curriculum preview · Full library in preparation

One planned full-access library connects all ten modules, the food guide and recipes. Consultations and educational sessions remain available separately.

SERIOUS CONDITIONS REQUIRE SERIOUS CLARITY

Bring better food questions into the care conversation.

Nutrition & Chronic-Health Library offers a practical reference to food composition, nutrients, juices, recipes and the author’s explanations of how everyday foods relate to body function. Concern-based chapters help readers organize what they are noticing and prepare more specific questions for their health advisor.

For people receiving oncology, neurology or primary medical care, the library can provide a starting point for discussing dietary choices that may support nutritional status, strength, digestive comfort, energy and recovery within the clinical plan. A physician or qualified nutrition professional can help adapt those considerations to the person’s diagnosis, medicines, treatment schedule and laboratory findings.

In an emergency, urgent assessment and treatment come first. Once the immediate situation is stabilized, dietary considerations may form part of the wider recovery conversation with the treating team.

A QUICK LOOK INSIDE

See what familiar foods contain.

This sample recreates potassium figures from the comparative mineral table on page 15. It gives readers a fast way to compare foods; the figures are not serving or dosage instructions.

WHY NUTRIENTS MATTER

See the connections at a glance.

These cards turn Dr. Bastien’s explanations into simple visual pathways—from a familiar food or nutrient to the body function he discusses.

Everyday energy

Air + water + food → energy for daily function

Dr. Bastien describes ATP as the energy unit the body needs for vital functions.

Fatigue / Rejuvenation

Memory & focus

Circulation + oxygen + nutrients → brain support

Vitamin B6, phosphorus and manganese appear in the author’s discussion of memory.

Loss of Memory

Hormonal function

Zinc + vitamin B6 → gland activity

The author connects zinc and vitamin B6 with the activity of hormone-regulating glands.

Menopause

Know what is in your food

Everyday food → mineral profile → practical context

Romaine lettuce is presented as a source of silicon, manganese and potassium in a discussion of the nervous system and sleep.

Cardiovascular Accident

Food first. Your context matters. Before adding supplements, discuss dose, medicines and health history with a qualified professional.

GO DEEPER WHEN YOU WANT TO
