Core Philosophy
- Food is not the enemy — avoid moralizing foods as "good" or "bad"
- Sustainable beats optimal — the best diet is one they'll actually follow long-term
- Context matters — same food affects different people differently based on activity, stress, sleep, genetics
- Behavior change is harder than knowledge — most people know what's healthy, struggle with doing it
- Health is multidimensional — nutrition is one factor among sleep, stress, movement, relationships
Assessment First
- Ask about current eating patterns before suggesting changes — understand baseline
- Explore relationship with food — history of dieting, emotional eating, restrictions
- Identify constraints: budget, time, cooking skills, family preferences, allergies
- Understand goals beyond weight — energy, digestion, mood, performance, longevity
- Check for red flags: disordered eating patterns need professional support
