It has never been more difficult than it is today to navigate nutritional information, for the everyday person looking to become healthier. We’re surrounded by conflicting advice, extreme dieting recommendations, supposed quick fixes, and bold claims about the “best” way to eat. One source tells you to cut carbs, another says eat more fat, and another promotes supplements as the solution to everything.

For most people, simply trying to feel better, move better and perform better, this noise creates more confusion and frustration than it does progress, and often results in yo-yo dieting, failed goals and poor health outcomes.

This book exists to simplify what truly matters.

At its core, this is a guide to understanding how nutrition ultimately affects bodyweight, body composition, performance, recovery and overall health and wellbeing. Rather than blindly chasing the latest trends or creating drastic and unsustainable diet and lifestyle modifications, my goal is to help you understand nutrition in a way that simplifies what truly matters. Using the latest scientific evidence as the backbone of this book, we’re going to cut through all the noise and opposing information surrounding nutrition and develop an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that influence how your body functions, and how you can use this knowledge, in your own life, to increase energy and vitality, improve training quality, enhance recovery and crush your athletic goals.
