Why the body is not a depot
and why values still fluctuate
A simple question
In the classic view, it is often assumed
that the body stores nutrients as if in a depot.
But if you take a closer look, a crucial question arises:
Where exactly are these depots located?
In practice, there is no evidence of clearly defined storage facilities in the sense of a fixed warehouse.
Instead, a different picture emerges:
👉 The body works dynamically.
This model shows in simplified form how the body actually works:
👉 The entire body acts like a networked system,
in which nutrients are constantly distributed, used and adapted.
They are not located in a fixed place,
but are available throughout the body.
👉 The decisive factor is:
The decisive factor is therefore not where something is located –
but how intensively it is used in the system.
Depot vs. dynamics
| Classic view (depot) | UNISON.health view (dynamics) |
| Nutrients are stored | Nutrients are provided |
| Values show the stock | Values show usage + availability |
| low value = deficiency | low value = can mean increased activity |
Why values can change quickly
When the body needs more, more “valves” open in the system.
👉 The result:
- Nutrients are increasingly used
- Measured values can drop
The reverse is also true:
- Low usage → Values appear higher
👉 Our practical observations also show that
Values can sometimes change very quickly –
even within 24 hours.
This occurs in particular when the body:
- Metabolic processes activated
- Processes reorganized
- or shifts priorities in the system
👉 That means:
Fluctuations are not an error –
but an expression of an active, adapting system.
Continuing:
Why a single value is not enough
An isolated measured value only ever shows a snapshot.
Without context, it can easily be misinterpreted.
👉 The decisive factor is:
- What condition is the body in?
- Which processes are currently running?
👉 This is exactly where the next level comes in:
A change of perspective
The body is not a static bearing.
It is a highly dynamic system,
which is constantly adapting and regulating itself.
👉 Anyone who wants to understand it,
must take this dynamic into account.
