Prioritize the quality of food over calorie counts, as meals with identical calories but different quality have vastly different effects on the body and satiety.
Actively look after your gut microbiome through good quality food, as a healthy microbiome provides immune benefits, reduces aging problems, and helps protect against cancer and other life challenges.
Aim to minimize regular, very high blood sugar peaks, as prolonged spikes cause inflammation, stress cells, and can lead to type 2 diabetes and long-term harm.
Do not consume fruit juice regularly, as it causes significant blood sugar spikes, lacks fiber, is often ultra-processed, and is linked to inflammation, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and potentially cancer.
Limit consumption of ultra-processed and high-sugary foods, as they can lead to increased hunger later and drive overeating, disrupting mental state and concentration.
Recognize that afternoon hunger, concentration dips, or the need for stimulants like coffee might be symptoms of poor breakfast or lunch choices, and address these root causes through dietary changes.
Understand that individual responses to food vary significantly, so personalize your diet based on how your body reacts rather than following generic advice.
Consider using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) responsibly and with proper education to understand how specific foods impact your blood sugar and body, helping you make personalized dietary choices.
Treat nutrition as a science, not a religion, acknowledging that evidence changes and new discoveries are constantly emerging.
Do not get too obsessed with one food or consume it every day, even if generally considered healthy, as individual responses vary and a holistic view of food is important.
Use AG1 daily as it supports digestion and contains beneficial gut bacteria that enrich the microbiome, increasing beneficial bacteria up to tenfold.
