If you’re still terrified of salt, congratulations

your nutrition education stopped when skinny jeans and Special K were peaking.
You’re not exhausted because you’re plant-based. You’re exhausted because you treat sodium like it’s been banned by the UN.

Quick pause this exact stuff is why I coach people 1:1. Not vibes, not fear-based rules, not copy-paste wellness dogma. We fix what’s actually breaking your energy instead of moralising minerals. DM me PLANTS for more info

Now listen.

Salt is not the villain.
Salt is not the reason your aunt’s blood pressure is high.
Salt didn’t ruin your skin, your hormones, or your spiritual alignment.

The “cut sodium” advice was aimed at people living on microwave meals, drive-thrus, instant noodles, and beige food that comes with a sachet.
Salt wasn’t the issue ultra-processed food was.

But somewhere along the way, plant-based eaters got dragged into the panic.

You’re eating beans, tofu, tempeh, veg, fruit, whole grains.
You cook most of your meals.
You don’t live off takeaways.

And yet you decided seasoning food was a moral failure.

So now you’re tired.
Lightheaded.
Foggy.
Cramping.
Low energy in training.
Mood’s off for no obvious reason.

That’s not “detox”.
That’s under-sodium.

If you eat mostly whole plant foods, your sodium intake is naturally low. There’s no hidden salt fairy sneaking it in.
Add training, sweating, warm weather, caffeine, stress — and sodium is leaking out of you all day like a punctured bottle.

Every drop of sweat takes performance with it.

You’re not bloated.
You’re not inflamed.
You’re not “holding water”.

You’re under-fuelled, under-salted, and wondering why your Buddha bowl isn’t carrying you through leg day.

Sodium isn’t optional.
It’s how nerves fire.
How muscles contract.
How nutrients move.
How you don’t feel like you’re running on 12% battery by lunchtime.

The solution isn’t cleansing your aura or blaming salt while raw-dogging life on willpower and broccoli fumes.

If your gut’s puffier than a protein-inflated ego on Instagram you’ve got work to do.

Want clarity, structure, and results without the BS? DM me PLANTS about 1:1 nutrition coaching.✅

You’re plant-based. You eat “clean.” But you’re still bloated, gassy, tired, and running on oat milk and optimism by 3PM.

Let me be clear:
That’s not your hormones.
That’s not your cortisol.
That’s not “just how your body is.”

That’s a microbiome that’s been neglected harder than your unread Kindle library.

Because here’s the bit no one tells you:
Going vegan isn’t enough.
Your gut doesn’t give a toss if you’re dairy-free when you’re living off tofu and hummus on repeat like it’s a religion.

You want less bloating, more energy, better digestion, clearer skin, and actual performance?
You need to eat like a grown-up who understands fibre.
And I’m not talking about slapping flax in your smoothie and calling it gut health.

I’m talking:
💥 30+ different whole plant foods a week
💥 Colour, variety, and fermented realness (tempeh > TikTok powders)
💥 More legumes, more seeds, more plant roughage fewer beige blocks of processed vegan crap

Your gut is a microbial jungle.
If you feed it like a monoculture you’ll feel like one: tired, puffy, cranky, and wondering why your farts could clear a yoga studio.

The fix is boring but brilliant: more plant diversity.
Think: more lentils, less laziness.
More colour, less cauliflower pretending to be pizza.

Because your gut bugs influence everything mood, energy, cravings, inflammation, immunity, and how you absorb nutrients.

So if you’ve been bloated since Veganuary, here’s your wake-up call:
Fix your gut. Fuel the right bacteria.
And stop pretending your body’s broken when your diet’s just basic.

America’s rolled the food pyramid back out like it’s a vintage jacket that never actually looked good the first time.
Same mess. New font. Different excuses.

Before we go any further this exact confusion is why I work 1:1 with people. Not macros on a diagram, not internet shouting matches actual eating patterns, real behaviour, real constraints, fixed properly instead of dressed up with graphics. DM me plants for more info

Now back to the circus.

They’ve flipped the triangle, crowned protein king, polished full-fat dairy, and dragged beef fat back from the dead like it didn’t already have a body count.
All while ignoring the tiny issue that this directly clashes with basically every global dietary guideline that isn’t sponsored by a lobby group. Strong start.

You’ve got a population running on four hours of sleep, stress hormones, drive-thru calories and zero fibre…
and the response is: more fat, more protein, fewer plants.
Ah yes. This time it’ll work.

America doesn’t have a macro crisis.
It has an environment problem.
A behaviour problem.
A “most meals eaten from a steering wheel” problem.

You can redraw triangles until your marker runs dry — if most calories are ultra-processed, eaten distracted, and designed to be addictive, the diagram is just fridge decoration.

And no leaning harder into red meat doesn’t fix that.
Saturated fat didn’t get a software update. LDL still rises. Biology didn’t get the memo.

They’re arguing protein targets while people don’t touch vegetables.
Debating fat sources while insulin resistance is rampant.
Talking “health freedom” while kids think hydration is optional.

And where are the beans?
Where’s the fibre?
Where’s the food that actually improves gut health, blood sugar, inflammation, cholesterol you know, outcomes?

This isn’t science moving forward.
It’s nutrition dragged sideways by culture wars and dressed up as progress.

No pyramid fixes a hostile food system.
No graphic overrules behaviour.
No rebrand saves a population from a diet built on convenience and marketing.

Eat mostly plants.
Eat fibre.
Eat enough protein.
Sleep. Move. Cook sometimes.
Stop outsourcing your thinking to a triangle.

COMMENT IRON BELOW

If you’ve ever told someone you’re plant-based and immediately heard, “But what about iron?” congrats, you’ve just met the Nutrient Police.
Population: everyone who once skimmed a health blog in 2009.

But here’s the part they accidentally got right iron does matter.
Not because Karen from the gym said so, but because it’s literally how oxygen gets around your body.
Low iron = low oxygen.
Low oxygen = workouts feel like you’re training underwater and your brain’s running on dial-up.

And no, getting “a blood test” isn’t the win you think it is.
If you don’t know your ferritin, haemoglobin, or transferrin saturation, you’re basically reading your results like it’s IKEA instructions.

The myth that plant-based iron is useless?
Absolute nonsense.
It’s just non-heme instead of heme different packaging, same job.
You can absorb plenty if you’re not sabotaging yourself.
Pair it with vitamin C think citrus, berries, peppers.
Avoid coffee, tea, and calcium around your iron meals, unless you enjoy nutritionally cancelling yourself before lunch.

And ladies your hormones aren’t making this easier.
Periods, perimenopause, pregnancy, heavy training it’s an iron rollercoaster with no seatbelts.

That’s why I built the Iron eBook.
Not a detox, not a lecture just straight answers.
It breaks down what your bloods actually mean, how to supplement properly, how to eat for absorption, and why your low energy might not be a personality trait.
Plus, 35 iron-packed recipes that don’t taste like despair.

So if you’re tired, foggy, or blaming motivation when it’s really micronutrient malpractice fix it.
Link’s in the bio.
Go sort your ferritin out before your ambition collapses again.

The nutrition industry is a circus, and honestly? I’m tired of the clowns. 🤡🚩

As a Nutritionist, I spend half my day helping clients unlearn the absolute garbage that fitness influencers and “wellness” brands shove down our throats.

Between the 1200-calorie starvation “aesthetics” and the influencers posting macros that literally don’t add up (physics exists, guys…), it’s no wonder people think a plant-based diet is “too hard” or “unsustainable.”

Here’s the reality:

You don’t need $100 “greens powders” to be healthy.

You don’t need a “fat burner” to fix your metabolism.

You DON’T need to eat meat to get enough vegan protein.

You just need a plan that isn’t built on marketing lies and “bio-hacking” scams.

I’m here to give it to you straight. No fluff, no expensive pill-popping, and no “magic” teas. Just science-backed vegan nutrition that actually works for your body, your goals, and your life.

Ready to stop guessing and start fueling? 🚀

I’m currently taking on new clients for 1:1 Vegan Nutrition Coaching. We’ll cut through the BS, fix your gut health, and dial in your macros (the ones that actually add up).

If you’re plant-sMEaking awake at stupid-o’clock with your heart racing, jaw clenched, brain replaying every bad decision you’ve ever made, that’s not intuition. That’s your nervous system waving a white flag. And yes, magnesium is usually missing.

This is the exact kind of thing I sort in 1:1 nutrition coaching finding what’s actually missing, why your nervous system’s fried, and fixing it properly instead of guessing. DM ME FOR NUTRITION COACHING

Magnesium isn’t a wellness trend. It’s infrastructure.
When it’s low, everything feels louder stress, tension, cramps, anxiety, sleep problems, digestion weirdness. Your body doesn’t spiral politely. It glitches.

And here’s where plant-based people get stitched up:
Magnesium lives in plants… but only if you actually eat them properly. Not “some spinach once.” Not beige freezer food with a vegan label. Real volume. Real variety. Repeatedly.

Add stress, caffeine, training, under-eating, poor sleep — congrats, you’re bleeding magnesium daily like it owes you money.

So people blame hormones. Or burnout. Or the universe.
Nah. Your nervous system is under-fuelled and under-mineralised.

Pumpkin seeds. Beans. Lentils. Tofu. Tempeh. Tahini. Greens.
These aren’t “nice extras.” They’re the difference between feeling calm and feeling like a shaken Coke can.

Plant-based diets aren’t magnesium-deficient.
Lazy plant-based eating is.

If your solution to stress is more discipline instead of more nutrients, you’re just raw-dogging adulthood with no buffer.

Eat the plants. Eat enough of them.
And stop pretending chronic tension is a personality trait.

Plants are trying to kill you.

Cool.
Say it again slowly while living off steak, salt, and ego, waiting four working days for your next bowel movement like it’s a bank transfer.

This exact level of confusion is why people end up in my 1:1 coaching.
Not because plants are dangerous but because TikTok convinced you fibre is propaganda and digestion is optional.

If plants were lethal, civilisation would’ve folded immediately.
Rice-fed populations wouldn’t exist.
Bean-based cultures wouldn’t age past 40.
The Mediterranean diet would come with a warning label and a crime unit.

Instead, those people live longer, move better, and don’t treat stairs like a hostile environment.

Meanwhile the “plants are poison” crowd is terrified of spinach
but calm about a diet that deletes fibre, trashes gut bacteria, tanks vitamin C,
and calls constipation “ancestral.”

The irony is wild.

Those scary plant compounds everyone screams about?
They show up in the foods most consistently linked to lower inflammation, lower disease risk, better recovery, and longer life.

If that’s poison, it’s the least effective one in human history.

Plants aren’t attacking you.
They’re undoing years of nutritional neglect.
They’re exposing how fragile your habits are.
They’re threatening the beige-food identity you’ve built your personality on.

Plants aren’t trying to kill you.
They’re just inconvenient for people whose health collapses without animal products doing the heavy lifting.

And if you’re tired of sorting fact from fear on your own
that’s what the coaching is for.

No cults.
No conspiracies.
Just food that lets your body function like it was meant to.

Plants didn’t hurt you.
They just ended the excuses.

05/01/2026

If you’re plant-based and your supplement stack looks like you’re trying to win a wellness Olympics…
You’re not biohacking. You’re just lost.

No, you don’t need mushroom dust blessed by a forest monk.
You don’t need chlorophyll in a dropper or lion’s mane in your almond milk.
You need to stop eating like a child raised on oat bars and chaos.

Let’s call it what it is: you’re not “tired and sensitive.”
You’re under-eating, over-caffeinating, and praying magnesium will fix your terrible meal timing.

Supplements are tools not a redemption arc for skipping lunch five days in a row.
You want better energy? Eat.
You want better focus? Eat.
You want to stop rattling with capsules? Eat.

Real food. Big meals. Plants with actual nutrients not just air-fried beige and vibes.
Legumes. Grains. Greens. Seeds. Colour. Fibre. Calories.
You know, the things you keep forgetting while looking for a supplement that sounds spiritual.

And if you’re still confused, maybe ask a qualified vegan nutritionist not Brad on TikTok with a discount code and no qualifications.

Supplements don’t fix poor habits. They just make them expensive.

If you’re vegan and your hands are buzzing, your memory’s buffering, or your brain feels like it’s running on dial-up congratulations, your nervous system is waving a little red flag.
No, it’s not “burnout.”
No, it’s not Mercury in retrograde.
It might be B12 doing a disappearing act.

This is exactly the stuff I fix in 1:1 coaching before it turns into months of fatigue, panic Googling, and blaming the diet.
We don’t guess. We don’t wait. We spot the gaps early and sort them properly.

B12 isn’t a “nice-to-have.”
It’s the insulation around your nerves.
When it runs low, signals misfire, sensations get weird, and your brain starts dropping tabs like an overloaded browser.

That tingling?
That forgetfulness?
That “why am I standing in this room” moment?
That’s not aesthetic wellness that’s your wiring fraying.

And miss me with the “ancestors got it from soil” story.
Our ancestors also didn’t live long enough to argue about supplements on Instagram.
B12 comes from bacteria.
Animals are just the delivery truck and they’re supplemented too.

Skipping B12 isn’t being “natural.”
It’s just choosing deficiency with confidence.

This isn’t about quitting veganism.
It’s about doing it like an adult who wants their nervous system intact.

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of fog, tired of wondering if something’s “wrong” with you it’s not your character development arc.
It’s nutrition.

Take the B12.
Protect your nerves.
And if you want someone actually watching the details instead of reacting once things break

1:1 coaching exists for a reason.

If you still think fish are the king of omega-3, you’re basically living on a nutrition myth older than your dad’s gym playlist.
You’re not “getting it from the source” you’re eating the thing that ate the source.
Fish don’t make omega-3. They just mug algae for it and sell you the stolen goods.

You’re not a health guru you’re just mainlining mercury with a side of marketing.
That “heart-healthy” salmon? Comes with complimentary microplastics and a faint taste of regret.

Let’s get this straight.
Plants make omega-3.
Fish just happen to swim past it first.
Flax, chia, h**p, walnuts they’re the real foundation.
But if your diet’s beige, your stress is biblical, and your genes are as average as your sleep, your conversion rate from ALA to DHA is moving slower than a CrossFitter counting reps.

DHA builds your brain.
EPA chills your inflammation.
Skip them, and it’s brain fog, low mood, and joints that sound like bubble wrap in a blender.

And don’t even start with the “I take fish oil” flex.
Your capsule smells like low tide and it’s probably rancid 7 out of 10 are.
You’re not biohacking, you’re embalming.

Algae oil is where the real omega-3 lives.
Seaweed, microalgae, phytoplankton, the OG source.
Same EPA and DHA. None of the toxins, none of the fish burps, none of the moral gymnastics.

Fish get their omega-3 from plants.
So can you.
You don’t need to eat Nemo for nutrition.
You just need to read something written this century.

Stop treating sushi like a supplement.
Stop calling salmon a superfood.
You’re not “traditional.” You’re just outdated with good lighting.

You want omega-3?
Go to the source, not the middleman with fins.
You can’t hashtag Save the Ocean with fish breath.
