My Journey, Research, Recommended Books and Movies to Improve Nutrition and Fitness

Greetings everyone,

Happy August 1st! I’m excited to share some updates and thoughts with you in this brief video. Firstly, I’m thrilled to mention that I’m now active on YouTube, a platform I never expected to venture into. Thanks to Kenn, my website expert, who’s been invaluable in enhancing our marketing efforts and building our business. He’s been pivotal in encouraging me to embrace this new avenue.

Recently, I posted a video reviewing the book “Toxic Superfoods” by Sally K. Norton. The book sheds light on oxalates and their potential harm, particularly for those susceptible to kidney disease or metabolic disorders. The response on YouTube has been fantastic, with around 2400 views. However, the comments raised a few intriguing points.

Some viewers expressed confusion amidst the wealth of information available. It’s a valid concern, as conflicting advice can be overwhelming. There’s a call for experts to collaborate and provide clearer guidance. Also, opinions varied regarding the safety of plants and oxalates. Some claimed plants are generally safe, while others refuted this.

Let’s address this. While I’m not a medical doctor, I’ve invested significant time in studying nutrition and CrossFit, earning various certifications. My journey from severe obesity to improved health informs my passion for sharing knowledge. I relate to the frustration of navigating contradictory advice.

To the person who called for experts to unite, it’s a valid plea. However, the onus ultimately falls on us to prioritize our well-being. Amidst the noise, it’s easy to follow prevailing wisdom, such as the belief that plant-based diets are universally best. However, this doesn’t hold true for everyone, especially considering the high prevalence of metabolic disorders.

Here’s my suggestion: research. It’s daunting, but essential. I emphasize that my advice isn’t gospel. Even with my training and experience, I encourage critical thinking. My 2400 hours of training shouldn’t replace your own research. Question everything, including what I say.

When I embarked on my health journey, I researched extensively. Similarly, I urge you to do the same. Gather information from diverse sources, comprehend research articles, and discern the truth. Start with resources like the books I review—Sally K. Norton’s “Toxic Superfoods,” Dr. Ken Berry’s “Lies My Doctor Told Me,” Judy Cho’s “Carnivore Cure,” and Michelle Hearn’s “Dietitian’s Dilemma.”

Compile your questions, armed with citations from these resources, and discuss them with your doctor. You’re the chief advocate for your health. Don’t underestimate your capacity to understand your body’s unique needs.

My aim is to facilitate your wellness journey. Utilize my suggestions, experiences, and reviews as stepping stones. Explore movies like “Sacred Cow” and “Kiss the Ground” for further insight.

In conclusion, your well-being matters most. Invest time in research, critical thinking, and informed decisions. My desire is for you to flourish, contributing to a healthier world. Stay curious, and make your health a priority.

Wishing you a fantastic day ahead. Until next time, take care. Goodbye!
