The Aurigen Core Philosophy on Supplements & Support

How we use support without burdening the body, with Chef/Energist Cathy Hohmeyer

A Gentle Orientation

In the Aurigen Path, supplements are not viewed as fixes, cures, or requirements for being “well.” They are considered temporary allies — tools that may help the body remember its own coherence during times of stress, transition, or overload.

Our approach is intentionally calm, respectful, and non‑urgent.

We begin with a simple premise:

The body is intelligent. It is not broken.

Support is offered to assist the body’s return to balance — not to override it.

Our Guiding Principles

1. Coherence Before Chemistry

Before adding anything new, we ask: - Is the nervous system settled? - Is the body feeling safe enough to receive support?

When coherence is present, the body often needs less, not more.

2. Terrain Over Targets

Rather than chasing individual symptoms, numbers, or deficiencies, we focus on the overall terrain: - hydration - mineral flow - fascia and structural ease - nervous system regulation

When terrain improves, many symptoms naturally soften or resolve.

3. Signal Matters More Than Substance

Some supports work less because of their chemical content and more because of the information they carry.

This includes: - pattern‑based remedies - mineral reminders - water‑infused supports - gentle informational formulations

The goal is not to push the body — but to signal direction.

4. Less, Better Timed

We avoid long‑term, high‑stack supplementation unless clearly appropriate.

Instead, we favor: - fewer items - used for a clear purpose - reassessed regularly - discontinued once their role is complete

A good support should feel quiet, not demanding.

5. Food Is Primary Intelligence

Whenever possible, nourishment comes first from: - real food - traditional preparation - seasonal rhythm - mineral‑rich, well‑sourced ingredients

Supplements are never meant to replace food — only to assist when food alone is not enough for a time.

This is where much of the Nutritional Energetics program comes in. What energetic signals does your body need to be reminded of…?

How We View “Detox”

In the Aurigen Path, detox is not something we force.

Aggressive detox can overwhelm: - fascia - elimination pathways - the nervous system

Instead, we support release through regulation: - improving flow - reducing incoming burden - restoring communication within the body

Often, the body releases naturally once it feels supported.

A Note on Safety & Choice

You are never required to take supplements to participate in Aurigen work.

We honor: - personal choice - sensitivity and history - periods of rest from all inputs

Support is always an invitation — never a demand.

Our Intention

We support your return, not judge your moment.

The aim is not lifelong supplementation. The aim is restored orientation — so the body can do what it already knows how to do.

This philosophy is part of Nutritional Energetics and the Aurigen Path. It is intended to support informed, thoughtful choices — not to offer medical advice or one‑size‑fits‑all rules. Nourishment is contextual, and your body’s individual signals matter most. Sometimes we know through simple conversation and with more detail in a personal voiceprint (frequency) analysis of what your body is saying.
