Episode Synopsis

At the very least you should be giving, whatever it is, a reasonable effort. What does that look like? What does that entail? The generic answer is… it depends. Some days you will want to give more, while others, just going through the motions is a huge win. A little while back I began thinking differently about how to approach things. I started to dig into a concept that I had learned a few years ago in a nutrition cert program. The concept they utilize is called deeper health, essentially addressing nutrition challenges from a perspective deeper than just calories and macros. After putting some deeper thought into this concept I also began questioning why people like me are incessantly speaking about this. Here’s the conclusion I came to: This is the message we know and understand the best. We know and have a strong belief in the concept of eat less, move more, when it comes to weight loss. We know that if our nutrition is cleaner and our exercise is consistent that we should have a better chance at mitigating certain chronic disease. We know this through science as well as anecdotal evidence, but what we can never say for certain is that this approach is applicable to everyone. We cannot say for certain that if Sally does X she will become exempt from all health issues.
