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.
