Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 481: What the Perfect Diet Means to You

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

The new word is extreme with regard to diet choice.  Moderation is out! The reality is, it was never in.  The abundance of food choices has grown making moderation only an imaginable concept.  I think it is good to always be open to change that supports your goals.  Perhaps  your goals change requiring nutritional changes, or change is needed to support your existing goals.  None the less, you need to be mindful of your why in order to achieve those goals when the going gets tough.  There is constant input for "the best" diet that has no way of knowing your nutritional needs or why. 

Be aware of headlines beginning with "study shows" or "experts suggest".  It becomes a slippery slop to find what is actually behind the headlines.

I think the best place to start is to clearly define your goals and the reason or why you have chosen them.  Nutrition needs change over time.  Growing children need different amounts of nutrients that adults.  Nursing and pregnant women have different needs.  So do people recovering from injury or surgeries.  The problem is that nutritional choices don't always show up immediately.  People blame high school and college sports injuries for joint pain 25 years later but never implement their nutritional choices.  

Today, I reflect on my nutrition choices and how my life might have been different following a plan of moderation.  If you would like some help guiding nutritional changes to meet your health goals, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing
