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’s 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.

It is designed to support inner soil health, circulation, hormonal balance, microbiome activity, and calm morning energy.

Ingredients

• Oats
• Ground pumpkin seeds
• Ground walnuts
• Ground blackberries
• Whole pecans
• 2 Brazil nuts
• Raisins
• ½ cup 2% milk
• 1 tbsp honey mixed into 14 oz Mash
• LuminRind™

What Makes This Bowl a LOTSWS Meal?

This bowl represents the core of the Light of the Soil™ Wellness System — nourishment that strengthens the inner soil while maintaining low inflammation, stable hormones, steady energy, and enhanced clarity. Every ingredient contributes to a specific biological function:

Microbiome Activation

• Oats, ground walnuts, raisins, and ground blackberries feed diverse microbial families.
• Pumpkin seeds support balance in digestion and microbial ecosystems.
• LuminRind™ enhances absorption and supports enzymatic activation.

Stable Morning Energy

• Oats and nuts provide slow-release, no-crash fuel.
• Honey is buffered in Mash, preventing glucose spikes and maintaining calm energy.
• Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar and morning cortisol.

Hormonal Support

• 2 Brazil nuts provide selenium — essential for thyroid and testosterone stability.
• Healthy fats from walnuts and pecans support healthy hormone signaling.

Circulation & Clarity

• Ground blackberries support nitric oxide and morning microcirculation.
• LuminRind™ amplifies absorption and vascular benefits.

Inner Soil Benefits

• Feeds key microbiome families responsible for stability and mood.
• Reduces inflammation and supports digestion.
• Improves clarity, calm energy, and morning focus.
• Supports hormonal rhythm and recovery.
• Pairs perfectly with morning breathing practices.

Founder Notes

This bowl was a turning point in the Founder’s journey — offering a perfect combination of comfort, micronutrient density, digestive ease, and steady morning power. It became a cornerstone of the Marty Fuel system, demonstrating how a single well-crafted meal can support the entire inner soil ecosystem.
