Body in Context
Essays on nutrition, movement, recovery, and health through the lens of context, physiology, and lived experience. Exploring how bodies actually work in real life.
Defining Nutrition
Nutrition is not a label claim and it is not a macro. Nourishment is defined by what the body can absorb and use, not what is highlighted on the front of the package. Protein-focused marketing often flattens a much more complex conversation.
Defining Diet
Diet is not something you start or stop. It is the ongoing pattern of nourishment, always in motion. When diet became a verb, shame and restriction followed. A return to the noun. A return to something steady. A return to what is lived, not controlled.
