Episode notes
Energy Is Multi-Dimensional
- Energy comes from many sources beyond calories: nutrition, mindset, environment, and social factors all play a role.
- Rupy Aujla urges people to identify what is stealing their energy and what is giving it to them to find targeted changes.
Why Doctors Miss Nutrition
- Doctors get little nutrition training and face time pressures, so lifestyle medicine often falls through the cracks.
- Rupy calls this a mix of lack of education, time, and systemic emphasis on nutrition.
Use The 80/20 Foundation
- Remove ultra-processed foods, added sugars and include nutrient-rich vegetables, quality protein and healthy fats.
- This 80/20 approach gives outsized benefits without buying into extreme diets.
