NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY:

Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolving
Whole food is soul food and fed is best
Sustainable, synergistic nutrition is in (the opposite of whack-a-mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)
You don’t have to figure it out alone
Do your best and leave the rest
