Over the past 20 – 30 years we have seen everything from low-fat, fat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, meat-free, grain-free and animal-free diets to high-fat, paleo, Mediterranean-style and many other “diets” and trends. This information leaves people feeling confused and overwhelmed about what to eat as well as how to eat. And there is always this question: What am I supposed to eat for optimal health and longevity? I don’t believe there is just one way to eat, but instead, we all have different needs as well as different genetic, physiological and psychological responses to food. The key is to find the foods that work for you – foods that empower you in your day-to-day activities as well as foods that nourish your body and provide pleasure to your life.
