This. Right here. Yes.

, I won’t give it to you. Sounds mean, right? It’s not, I promise. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: It’s the responsible thing to do.Simply put, I’m just not qualified to give nutrition advice. Period. I may have decades of experience in fitness, have studied nutrition as it pertains to public health throughout all of my graduate programs, and have personally dealt with my fair share of nutritional issues, but I am not qualified to advise you on your personal, individual dietary needs.

Also, I don’t know your body. Even if I were qualified to read them, I have not seen your diagnostic tests of any sort—blood, stool, or urine—to be able to understand what is happening inside your body. There’s just no way that I could consult you on your dietary needs based solely on your performance in class or on your Instagram feed.

All of this is to say that there are often issues with the data that comes from this type of research. What “studies show” may not always be accurate and generalizations do not always translate to personal recommendations. I cannot underscore that enough.I say this because I find that culturally and collectively it seems that our default inquiry about nutrition is still focused on weight loss. I would love for us to go deeper than this.

I can talk to you about health behaviors and creating habits and taking small steps. I can talk to you about thinking critically about the research that is released in the headlines, in your social media feeds, and in scientific journals.
