Meat or Non Meat - This seems to be one of the most debated nutritional health stances that isn’t going to be settled any time soon.

There is arguable convergent truth in mathematics and empirical science. I don’t find the same logic in nutrition. 

Nutrition guidelines are based on papers that presumably say there is evidence for what they say.  And no doubt there is.  I can always find individual or even several studies to back up an argument that I am bias about.  The art of being a talented functional nutritionist and navigator of continuous improvement in people lives through nutritional and lifestyle changes, is keeping your own bias in check.

This is why it is so important to regularly identify the root cause or causes that hold you back from optimisation and then, create a personalised wellness regime that fits purposefully in a timeframe - until it doesn’t fit.  When you realise your regime no longer serves you it’s time to check in again and uncover new or further roadblocks.   

Don’t get caught up in other peoples paradigms, be they; vegan, vegetarian, keto, carnivore, paleo, high carb, low carb, no carb, high fat, low fat, sugar-free, cave man - you get the picture, I’m sure.  

Lift the lid on your metabolism, hormonal and Gut health with unbiased observations and testing.  Choose your own unique path that will bring you results! 

There’s dangers in nutrition when the solution is considered to be suitable for a wide range of situation or problems.  Don’t allow yourself to be streamlined into taking advice from a source that is prejudice for one nutrition paradigm or whom is aberrantly intolerant to theories outside their group or individual tendency.  

Watch documentaries such as “The Game Changers, Forks Without Knives and The Perfect Human Diet”, with an analytical eye.  Allow yourself to consider the merits and faults of the theories of nutrition being espoused.  If the universal theory intrigues you - test out your personal response.  Cell life turn over can vary greatly between individuals so I look at nothing less than a 90 day trial, when assessing the virtue of nutritional and lifestyle changes.  Take bloods, run tests, diary subjective information.  Wihtout this data, there can be no substantial measurement of success, benefit or negative response.

People should be aware of the uncertainty in the science of nutrition, even in Meta Analysis of randomised nutritional controlled studies, all probabilities cannot be accounted for and rectitude is compromised.  Rodent studies have revealed that the unaccounted factor of a male or female scientist performing and having contact with the rodents can produce marked variations in the outcome.  

Make your decisions based on the above awareness or recruit a lionhearted ambassador who can up-level your bliss!
