What’s one myth about nutrition you wish more people knew the truth about?

One myth about nutrition I wish more people knew the truth about is that there’s no single “perfect” diet that works for everyone. Nutrition is highly individual—what’s healthy and effective for one person may not be right for another.

What’s your favorite healthy snack?

I stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle by focusing on how good I feel when I take care of myself—both physically and mentally.

How do you stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle?

I stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle by reminding myself of the increased energy and overall well-being I experience when taking care of myself.

What advice do you have for someone starting their wellness journey?
