Diet Trends, Food Fear, and Food Freedom
From keto to intermittent fasting to plant-based diets, it feels like diet trends never stop evolving. But do these diets really hold the answers to better health, or are they just recycling old ideas with new names?

Learn how to cut through the confusion, stop labeling foods, and focus on consistent eating patterns that actually support long-term health.
