10. Science is Limited but Your Intuition is Not

The research behind nutrition is very limited. I’m not talking about cold hard nutrition facts such as “Vitamin C helps in the production of collagen.”

Not that.

I’m talking about hypotheses that are studied. Hypotheses such as “a diet high in cholesterol leads to high blood cholesterol levels.”

Those studies are super limited. And the conclusions that are drawn from them are often debunked after several years. I mean, remember when they used to tell us that eggs were bad? Old, fake news!

When it comes to nutrition and human metabolism, there are so many factors to be adjusted for that are very difficult to adjust for. These include environmental factors, socioeconomic status, gender, age, and DNA.

Some are easier to adjust for than others but when we are talking about factors such as DNA, there are factors that we don’t even know to adjust for.

And this is why the “science” behind nutrition is constantly changing. This is why the information that’s put out on google and social media is so confusing.

No wonder we get pulled from the mind-body connection and feel chaos and disorder when it comes to making food choices.

In this episode I talk about your intuition being the guiding light and the most accurate truth for guiding your food choices. I also talk about how the USDA dietary guidelines are inherently oppressive and designed to rip you from your intuition and how you can start reconnecting to the energy today.

I even accidentally dabbled on the vaccine conversation. Whoops!
