Blasphemous Nutrition
The orthodox wellness industry keeps you in purgatory with vague, overly simplistic advice or plunges you into the depths of hell with restrictive commandments that are impossible to sustain. At this point you may be tempted to pursue hedonism instead, but at the end of the day you want to feel and age your best and you know a devil-may-care attitude won’t serve you.
ITS TIME TO LEAVE THE CHURCH OF WELLNESS AND GO TO HEALTH.
Double-degreed functional nutritionist and holistic health coach Aimee shares over 20 years of clinical experience and emerging research on the impact of lifestyle on our healthspan, offering a holy marriage of practical street smarts and relevant data that will empower you to take action.
She’s not just another preachy face looking to sell you on the latest superfood or baptize you into the latest health cult; she’s on a mission to give you balanced, nuanced, honest information to help you make informed, grounded decisions about how to achieve your health goals, whether you aim to lose weight, manage blood sugar, prevent Alzheimer’s or simply age like a bad-ass.
The best results don’t come from listening to what any one person has to say but being able to discard the bullshit, be open to experimentation and learn how to make the best choices for yourself.
When everything is a polarized extreme of vegan vs carnivore or cardio vs weights, tuning in to Blasphemous Nutrition will give you a scandalously nuanced perspective on nutrition and actionable tips that you can begin to implement immediately, so you can rescue yourself from the eternal torment of chasing one dietary savior after another.
