A controversial one for this fine Monday morning!
I’ve been in the wellness industry for a little bit now and as it keeps growing and getting bigger than ever, I sometimes sit here and go “HUH?!”
There’s so much noise, not enough nuance and things that just downright confuse me!
1. I never want to talk badly about other dietitians but dang -if you don’t believe in the healing power of food, why did you choose this career and can we please chat about how amazing it is??
2. Gym bros - blink twice if you’re ok
hitting macros with only protein powders, protein bars, and processed foods with added protein isn’t as important as a Whole Foods diet.
3. The new food pyramid discussion reminded me sometimes we can over analyze things! To me the message was to eat more whole foods. It’s up to providers to help guide people to find their personal diets that support their bio-individuality.
Also why did no one ever mention that water has never been on one of the infographics?!
4. The supplement trend cycle really confuses me!
Us functional medicine providers have been using things like colostrum for years and all of a sudden it becomes really cool. Why? How? What’s next? I certainly don’t know!
Tell me what your thoughts are in the comments!
