The Marty Inner Soil Scale™
The Marty Inner Soil Scale™ is the official nutrition rating system of the Light of the Soil™ Wellness System. Built from the Founder of Light of the Soil Marty Rogers' transformation journey, this 5-pillar method evaluates how every meal supports the inner soil of the human body — the microbial, circulatory, hormonal, and metabolic foundation of true wellness.
The scale is simple, powerful, and deeply rooted in real human experience. Each letter of MARTY represents a critical pillar of inner soil nourishment:
The 5 Pillars of the Marty Inner Soil Scale™
M — Microbes & Gut Flora
This measures how well a meal feeds and stabilizes the microbial ecosystem of the gut. High-M meals support digestion, reduce inflammation, and increase short-chain fatty acids (like butyrate), which improve mood, clarity, immune function, and hormonal balance.
A — Antioxidants & Phytonutrients
This reflects the meal’s ability to protect cells from oxidative stress while improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Colorful foods, berries, spices, and plant compounds drive this pillar. High-A meals support cardiovascular strength, recovery, and resilience.
R — Repair & Regeneration
This pillar measures the meal’s contribution to rebuilding tissues, hormones, enzymes, and cellular structures. Proteins, amino acids, liver nutrients, enzymes, and recovery-based foods boost the R score. High-R meals accelerate healing and support long-term regeneration.
T — Trace Minerals & Electrolytes
This evaluates mineral density — the essential “soil” elements inside the body. Selenium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, and calcium all support hydration, nerve conduction, hormone production, and enzyme reactions. High-T meals replenish and stabilize the internal terrain.
Y — Yield of Functional Energy
This is the practical energy outcome of the meal: steady, calm, sustainable energy without inflammation or glucose crashes. Meals rich in fiber, healthy fats, balanced carbs, and digestive ease score high here. High-Y meals create long-burning clarity, emotional stability, and metabolic balance.
How the Scale Works
Each meal is evaluated across all five pillars. A meal may score high in Microbes and Trace Minerals but lower in Repair, or vice versa. The Marty Inner Soil Scale™ shows not only whether a meal is “healthy,” but why it works and how it supports the body at a systems level.
- A balanced meal will have strength across multiple pillars.
- A targeted meal may emphasize one or two pillars intentionally.
- Founder Fuel meals often show excellence across the entire scale.
Why This Scale Matters
Modern nutrition rarely explains systems. It focuses on calories, macros, or trends. The Marty Inner Soil Scale™ changes that by evaluating meals in terms of:
- Microbial health
- Circulatory support
- Hormonal rhythm
- Digestive stability
- Energy yield
- Inflammation load
This mirrors how soil scientists evaluate soil: by structure, nutrients, microbial activity, water retention, and productive output. The inner soil works the same way.
Applications in LOTSWS
The Marty Inner Soil Scale™ is used to evaluate:
- Founder Fuel meals
- Marty Fuel recipes
- Dual-purpose powders
- Daily logs and transformation tracking
- Future app-based scoring and recommendations
- Educational tools for families and kids
Eventually, this scale will also appear on physical packaging and LOTSWS-certified products.
A Message from the Founder
The Marty Inner Soil Scale™ was created through lived experience, not theory. It emerged from the Founder’s fight to rebuild clarity, calmness, circulation, sleep, and overall life function. The scale is a practical, real-world tool meant to help others strengthen their own inner soil — one meal, one day, and one step at a time.
Food is more than fuel. Food is the soil from which human life grows.
