Why I Write Evidence-Based Nutrition Articles That Question the System
For most of my life, I believed what many people believe. Trust the experts. Follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Look to government agencies, credentialed dietitians, and major health organizations for unbiased, evidence-based nutrition advice. These institutions are presented as neutral, grounded in science, and dedicated to public health.
It wasn’t until I began studying nutrition more deeply, through my own health journey and later through formal education, that I discovered how much of our nutritional guidance is shaped by forces very few people ever see. When you trace research funding, examine the advisory committees, and follow the influence behind public health messaging, the picture becomes disturbingly clear. Much of what we call “evidence-based nutrition” is built on studies funded by the very industries whose products fill our supermarkets and contribute to our nation’s declining health.
This is not speculation. It is documented, published, and openly acknowledged in many scientific and governmental records. Yet it rarely reaches the public in a meaningful way because it challenges long-standing narratives that have been protected for decades.
Meanwhile, our health continues to decline.
Obesity has tripled.
Type 2 diabetes is rising at an alarming pace.
Metabolic disease is now the norm, not the exception.
Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions are growing every year.
These trends mirror the widespread adoption of the very dietary patterns promoted as healthy and “scientifically proven.” Something is deeply wrong when the guidance we are told to trust aligns perfectly with worsening national health.
What concerns me even more is that people searching for unbiased information online are often told to limit their sources to the exact institutions shaped by corporate funding. They are advised to disregard anything that questions the system, even when it is grounded in human physiology, clinical outcomes, or independent research. This creates a closed loop of information that keeps the public in the dark while chronic disease continues to escalate at alarming rates.
I reached a point where I could no longer ignore this reality.
This is where my mission began.
Recently, someone asked me why I pursued a nutrition education if I wasn’t planning to turn it into a traditional business. The question stayed with me, because the answer reveals the heart of what I’m doing and why. My motivation for getting certified goes far beyond building a career or another business. I felt a calling to understand nutrition at a deeper level because the misinformation surrounding food touched my life and the lives of the people I love. It hit close to home. When you see the consequences up close, you cannot stay silent. I wanted to stand on solid ground and to speak with knowledge, clarity, and integrity so I could help others see what I finally saw.
This is not just work for me. It is purpose.
Once I dug into the science directly, read the research myself, listened to clinicians who were not tied to industry, and studied human physiology, everything shifted. It simply clicked. The human body is not confused. It is not broken. It is responding exactly as biology dictates to a diet built on sugar, refined carbohydrates, seed oils, and processed foods that our physiology was never designed to tolerate long term. Healing begins when we stop following the advice that led us here in the first place and return to nutrient-dense foods that support metabolic stability, hormonal balance, and long-term health.
You cannot look at the trajectory of chronic disease in this country and still believe the guidelines are working. You cannot examine the conflicts of interest and still call the system unbiased. You cannot see the outcomes of real people who embrace low-carb, keto, or carnivore nutrition and the improvements in blood sugar, inflammation, weight, hormones, and energy and still claim these approaches are dangerous and don’t work.
This is why I write.
My mission is not to tell anyone what to eat. My goal is to find and share true science-based facts about nutrition and to help the reader learn, understand, and question. I want to shine a light on the forces shaping our understanding of food and give people the clarity they need to make informed, empowered decisions for themselves and for the people they love. When you understand how nutrition science is influenced, who benefits, and what human physiology truly requires, you begin to see a completely different picture.
If you ever come across a nutrition question that feels confusing or impossible to answer, or you cannot find a clear explanation grounded in real evidence, reach out to me. I am here because people deserve honesty, transparency, and science that serves the human body, not industry.
This is my mission. This is the work I feel called to do. And this is why Mind-Body Synergy exists.
