SHNJ 008: Fad Diets and Other Nutrition FAQ’s, Answered with Karen Phillips, Via Nutrition

I met Karen years ago when she was a patient of mine and owning her own nutrition business was just a dream. Fast forward to the present and Karen is the owner of her very own brick and mortar company, Via Nutrition. 

Karen, like many, lived a busy life working full time and having children. She always thought she was “healthy” and that grabbing lunch from Panera was a suitable option. However, Karen never felt quite right inside. She suffered from sinus infections constantly, got cystic acne during her period and experienced irregularity. After embarking on her own personal fitness journey, it all went away. 

Karen urges others to turn to nutrition first because many supposed “medical” issue like acne could really be a lifestyle or nutrition problem. Karen discusses many buzz words and fad diets in the nutrition world today, such as intermittent fasting, the keto diet, supplements, and more.
