Bringing doctors up-to-date on the latest research linking nutrition and health.
Bridging the gap between nutrition and medicine.
Poor nutrition is the most pervasive cause of chronic disease. Yet, mounting research shows that dietary and lifestyle changes can restore health.
Food in particular can reverse inflammation and support the microbiome, metabolism, hormones (adrenals, thyroid, and sex hormones) and cellular dysfunction.
We shed light on the current research demonstrating how nutrition and lifestyle strategies can help individuals reclaim their health.
The Problem with Nutrition Research
“Scientists can’t see the way they see, with their way of seeing.” – RD Laing
The problem with nutrition research is that most of it relies on large studies of populations and their dietary patterns obtained mostly through dietary questionnaires or 24-hour dietary recall. Even worse is that the diets they use for comparison (the control group) are not ideal alternative diets.
My goal is to show you how food affects us through human and animal experimental studies and not rely solely on studies of population habits, which can often be misleading and confusing.
By shedding light on how nutrition affects physiology, we can focus on what we know and customise recommendations based on individual preferences and needs.
We are taught to believe that patients “have diseases" when research shows that certain chronic conditions that are being expressed in our patients are actually reversible through lifestyle interventions.
