You’ve been lied to.
The FDA doesn’t want you healthy.
They want you sick, fat, and stressed out.
Here are the 14 nutrition myths that are forced down your throat.
1/ Myth: Eggs Raise Your Cholesterol
Truth: Eggs do not cause high cholesterol and heart disease for most people.
Eggs are nutrient-dense, rich in amino acids and vitamins D & B12.
They are also a great source of protein.
2/ Myth: You Should Drink 8 Glasses of Water Daily
Truth: Hydration needs differ for everyone.
Trust your thirst and the water content in foods over rigid rules.
I also recommend taking electrolytes if you are drinking enough but still feel thirsty.
3/ Myth: Breakfast is the Most Important Meal
Truth: Timing isn’t everything.
Delaying or skipping breakfast can help regulate hunger— what you eat is much more important than when you eat.
Eating a bowl of cereal in the morning isn’t going to make you healthy.
4/ Myth: All Protein Sources Are Equal
Truth: Plant-based protein sources have a much weaker effect in the body due to their unbalanced amino acid profiles.
Animal proteins, especially eggs, are utilized far better for producing muscle, bone, hormones, and neurotransmitters.
5/ Myth: All Calories Are Created Equal
Truth: Where your calories come from matters.
300 calories of chicken affect your body differently than 300 calories of ice cream.
6/ Myth: Eating 5-6 Meals Boosts Metabolism
Truth: Meal frequency doesn’t affect metabolism.
It’s about overall calorie and nutrient intake.
Most people actually do better with intermittent fasting to give your organs a chance to reset and digest.
If you're serious about weight management & metabolism, try Berberine.
I take it daily to support metabolism, gut health, & immunity.
But not all Berberine is created equal.
I created ULTIMATE Berberine for superior absorption & max potency:

7/ Myth: Fats Make You Fat
Truth: Healthy fats (like avocados or olive oil) support heart health and can aid weight loss.
A review of 53 studies showed that high-fat diets are actually better for weight loss.
Refined carbs and sugars cause obesity
8/ Myth: Carbs Are the Enemy
Truth: Complex carbs like quinoa or sweet potatoes fuel your body.
Processed carbs, not all carbs, are the problem.
A simple rule of thumb is to avoid white carbs, such as white bread.
9/ Myth: Cholesterol-Rich Foods Cause Heart Disease
Truth: Most dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol.
Inflammation, not cholesterol, is the bigger culprit for heart disease.
10/ Myth: Red Meat is Bad for You
Truth: Quality red meat is a powerhouse of protein, iron, and B vitamins.
Issues arise with processed meats or overconsumption.
Unfortunately, it's to get enough red meat in your diet.
Organ meats are packed with vitamins and minerals, but they aren’t exactly appetizing.
That’s why I created this grass-fed beef organ supplement for a convenient source of nutrients.

11/ Myth: Salt is Bad for You
Truth: Excess sodium can be harmful, but natural salts like sea salt can improve electrolyte balance.
Many people can become dehydrated in warmer climates if they don’t get enough sea salt.
Living in Florida, I see this happen all the time.
12/ Myth: Organic = Healthy
Truth: Organic is better than processed, but that doesn’t automatically make it healthy.
Organic cookies are still junk food.
Organic ice cream is still going to make you fat.
Focus on whole, nutrient-rich organic foods, not labels alone.
13/ Myth: Plant-Based Diets Are Healthier
Truth: A diet of processed plant-based junk is still unhealthy.
Whole, nutrient-dense foods are key, whether they are plant-based or meat.
14/ Myth: The Food Pyramid Is Healthy
Truth: The old pyramid’s high-carb, low-fat recommendation contributed to the obesity epidemic.
Cereal lobbyists changed the recommended amount of grains from 3 servings to 11 servings daily…
Nearly 4x what people should be eating.
What does this all mean?
Stop believing everything you’re told.
Learn about your body and you can become and stay healthy.
That’s a wrap.
