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
