For decades, many people were given misleading nutrition advice that prioritized processed carbohydrates over real, nutrient-dense food. Breakfast staples like pancakes, muffins, donuts, cereal, French toast, and Pop-Tarts became normalized—despite being high in sugar, low in protein, and lacking the nutrients our bodies actually need.
We’re now seeing a major shift in nutrition science that confirms what functional and metabolic medicine have been saying for years:
protein, healthy fats, and whole foods matter.
Instead of building meals around sugar and refined grains, the focus is moving toward:
✔️ Adequate protein intake to support muscle, metabolism, and hormones
✔️ Healthy fats for brain and metabolic health
✔️ Fewer processed carbs and added sugars
✔️ Real, nutrient-dense foods that stabilize blood sugar
This shift helps explain why so many people struggle with weight gain, insulin resistance, fatigue, and metabolic disease—and why simply “eating less” has never worked long-term.
At St. John’s Wellness, we focus on real food, adequate protein, and personalized nutrition guidance—because sustainable health starts with fueling your body correctly, not following outdated food myths.
