Meal timing might be the most argued-about topic in nutrition. Don’t eat after 6pm. Eat within 30 minutes of finishing a workout or lose the gains. Skip breakfast to stay in a fasted state longer. Eat six small meals to keep your metabolism running. Most of this advice contradicts other advice with equal confidence, and…

Protein gets the headlines. Carbohydrates generate the debates. Fat gets rehabilitated every decade or so. And fiber sits quietly in the background, appearing occasionally on nutrition labels, mentioned briefly in advice about digestive health, and largely absent from the sports nutrition conversation. This is a significant oversight. Fiber — particularly for active adults and athletes

Most hydration advice for athletes falls into one of two categories: drink a certain number of ounces per day, or follow your thirst. Both have their place. Neither one accounts for the fact that sweat rate and sweat sodium concentration vary enormously between individuals — and that those individual differences are exactly what determines whether

GLP-1 receptor agonists — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound — are the most talked-about development in weight management in decades. The clinical results are real and significant. The interest is understandable. And the questions coming into dietitian offices have shifted accordingly: Should I be on one of these? What should I eat while I’m taking it?

Low energy is one of the most common complaints people bring to their doctors, their dietitians, and their own internet searches. It is also one of the most consistently misattributed symptoms in health and wellness — pointed at sleep, stress, thyroid function, or simply being busy — when the actual driver is frequently more straightforward

“His vs. hers weight loss” is one of the most searched comparisons in fitness, and it almost always comes from the same frustrating place: two people start the same diet, put in comparable effort, and end up nowhere near the same result. He drops weight without trying very hard. She does everything by the book,

Sports nutrition gets reduced to a handful of familiar images: protein shakes, carb-loading pasta dinners, energy gels taped to someone’s race belt. It’s become shorthand for the stuff athletes do around the edges of their training — the products they take, the pre-workout rituals they follow, the post-run recovery drinks they pour. The actual discipline

Intuitive eating might be the most misunderstood framework in nutrition right now. Depending on where you encounter it, it’s either a revolutionary approach to dismantling diet culture or a naive idea that ignores the reality of athletic performance. It gets dismissed as “just eating whatever you want” by people who haven’t looked closely at it,

Most people who end up in a dietitian’s office have already been somewhere else first. They’ve had labs run. They’ve been told everything looks normal. They’ve been given general healthy eating advice that technically isn’t wrong but also hasn’t moved the needle on whatever they came in with — fatigue, GI problems, hormonal irregularity, inflammation,

Rest days are one of the most misunderstood parts of marathon training — and not just in terms of how many to take or what to do on them. The nutrition question that comes up most consistently from runners in the middle of a training block is some version of this: since I am not
