“I’m no longer Nutritarian.”

For over a decade, I shared my journey as a dedicated follower of Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live. I believed that if I could just reach the “right” level of micronutrients, my food struggles would resolve. But after 14 years, three babies, a cancer diagnosis, and significant weight changes through menopause and medication, I had to face a hard truth:

The plan didn’t work for my real life.

In this episode, I share why “clean eating” didn’t resolve my bingeing, and why I’ve shifted my focus to Set Point Science™. This isn’t about giving up. It’s about understanding how bodies actually respond to safety, nourishment, and consistency, not moral standards or rigid rules.

Inside this episode:

• The Bingeing Paradox: Why I could eat “perfectly” and still feel out of control around foods like dates and almond butter
• The Survival Shift: How a twin pregnancy and cancer treatment changed my biological needs, especially for protein
• The Myth of Willpower: Why bodies regulate through safety and consistency, not discipline or perfection
• What I Do Instead: My current pillars, including protein prioritization, strength training, and neuroscience
• The New Map: Why I renamed the channel, and what Set Point Science™ represents going forward
