In a previous blog post I commented on the growth of the wellness industry over the past 20 years. I’ve watched this movement unfold and gain speed …Over time, they have slowly molded public perception of food, nutrition, and medicine.

They are convincing, however… rustnutrition.com/blog/2025/05...

But I predict that nothing changes. The difference will be which food corporations (organic, “less artificial colors”) get his approval, not that the food industry as a whole will be accountable. Same influence. Different players. No improvement in anyone’s health.

April 1st is kinda a let down.
Science is dying a slow death.

The science illiteracy going into Q2 of 2025 looks like it’ll continue to be on the upswing thanks to Dr Oz, RFK jr and Calley Means.

Means' role will be focused on food policy & addressing the influence of corporations on health.

What Does the Science Say about Dietary Fat?

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are based on current food and health science & research. They are similar to a DASH dietary plan, which is highly researched.

RFK jr plans to overhaul the DGA, removing the recommendations for vegetable oils.

Bright side: Nobody follows the DGA anyhow.

Senate confirms RFK Jr. as health secretary, supplement industry reacts Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services after the Senate approved his nomination on the heels of two weeks of divided debate.

Surprise! 🫠
The supplement and “natural health products” industry are celebrating RFK Jr’s appointment.

I notice that people with low self esteem, or those who feel threatened by others who are different than them, and maybe smarter than they are, resort to childish name calling or bullying tactics.

Foods that Fit I continue to read headline that demonize processed or ultra-processed foods. I've previously written about this topic, and the NOVA system that attempts to categorize foods by extent of processing. O...

Food processing helps reduce #foodwaste and address hunger. Everyone does not have access to a farmer’s market, small organic food brands, or a community garden.

I completely agree with this statement. To me, making a change in my diet needs to mean I will end up with better overall health and life span, not looking good in the mirror. By only focusing on my looks, I’m more lenient toward working out for a short period then dropping the routine.

🎯 That’s it! Focus on positive health, strength. Not bikini season!

Nothing in the public eye can just occur any longer. Everything has to have a conspiracy behind it these days or nobody's interested. Truth is a game now, and the owners of the game will flip the table over if you don't play it in a way where they win. -III

I love this as it encourages a balanced approach to health by emphasizing the importance of gradually adopting habits that support both mental and physical well-being. The phrase "Ease into good habits" is motivating, making the idea of improving health feel achievable. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I like this because not only does it give information for healthy eating but also reminds us that our mental health is just as important. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

We really need to focus on portions and not single foods or ingredients.
Portions - in restaurants, bakeries, grocers - are too large.
We will eat the plate.
Yet can be satisfied with less is less becomes the normalized option.

The dose makes the poison.
It’s also crucial to look at the whole picture - broad diets as you say.

This is a a great reminder to be mindful of what we put into our bodies and what actions we can take to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of the nutrients we need and it is essential to get the proper servings daily! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

The sheer speed at which people hit a like button or make one-word affirmation comments in response to posts with articles linking to misinformation or propaganda, that they neither read, or question, (ie look up one other source), is astonishing.

It’s important to know all the facts when choosing a diet. Serving on US News #BestDiets panel, I offered my expertise by objectively evaluating each of the rated diets in different categories.

“The desire to become a health guru is hard to resist for some.”

I suffered through listening to the Casey Means appearance on Huberman. Other than inserting the word “mitochondria” she talks about known metabolic markers.
RDNs know exactly how to treat with diet therapy. Casey is not a guru.
