A reader once wrote to me, "I really like your blog posts. They're really well thought out and are a step above what I imagine normal nutrition blogs are like. It's like the philosophy of nutrition or something." In contrast, I remember another reader offering constructive criticism that she hoped to read more specific dietary advice.

In both our blogs and this newsletter, Joanne and I purposely focus on overarching nutrition issues, as opposed to nitty-gritty pieces delving into the hard science of our field, because the latter - while helpful to some - would risk misleading our audience into believing that the information applies to everyone. Because dietary advice must be individualized, we save our nutrition recommendations for our counseling sessions where we are able to focus on one person at a time.

In this month's newsletter, we discuss the importance of individualization in more depth, why overgeneralized talk about food, such as something being "good for you," really misses the boat, and a different framework for thinking about food.

Thanks,

Jonah
