Musings on the importance of personalised nutrition

I’m sure I’m not the only one, who’s spent hours self diagnosing symptoms online or has been caught up in the online fad-dieting ‘one size fits all’ approach?

The truth is, that this is totally non-sensical. We are all exposed throughout our unique life experiences, to a cocktail of contaminants, microbiome altering medications and stressful situations which have left our health in someway compromised. Often these situations are necessary and unavoidable, so please try and leave the self-criticism out!

The point is, is that optimal health comes weaving our way through this quilt of potential influences and repairing any damage that may have been made. 

This will vary hugely from person to person, thus throwing one diet at 6 billion people worldwide, in the hope that we will all live a little longer, just won’t work. 

We need to appreciate our individuality and what makes us unique and promote the importance of personalised nutrition.
