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.
BMI: More Like BM-Why Is This Still a Thing?
BMI was designed to describe populations, not individual bodies. Used as a personal health metric, it often hides more than it reveals.
The Cost of Ketosis
Ketosis is a metabolic state, not a performance strategy. When it becomes a lifestyle rather than a tool, the cost to recovery, muscle preservation, and long-term health is often underestimated. What is marketed as discipline often shows up as depletion.
