Nutrition, food, evidence, and the gap between what we know and what we repeat.
Read, written, and thought through with care and patience.
What I think about
The gap between what we know and what we repeat. Why nutrition advice keeps changing. Dietary patterns more than isolated nutrients. Behavior change as the harder problem. Traditional wisdom alongside modern evidence. What “natural” actually means. Food culture and family meals. Ultraprocessed food. Marion Nestle. Where the experts disagree, and why.

- 02 Insights The work itself. Essays, research notes, and observations about food, evidence, and the gap between what science says and what people repeat. New pieces appear when something feels worth writing down. Read the work
- 03 About The shorter version. Education, current focus, and how to reach me. Brief and direct, in case that’s what you came for. Continue
There's a lot still to figure out. If something here is worth thinking about, or worth pushing back on, I'd like to hear from you.
