The Food Pyramid Update: Better Direction, But Not the Finish Line - https://mailchi.mp/core-wellnessgroup/the-food-pyramid-update-better-direction-but-not-the-finish-line

The food pyramid is changing—and that’s progress.

The new nutrition guidelines finally emphasize food quality and reducing highly processed foods. But nuance still matters. Quality matters. Individual tolerance matters. Some people are more sensitive to saturated fat than others.

This is why nutrition works best when guided by labs, history, and individual response—not one-size-fits-all rules.

Feeling low energy, brain fog, wobbly blood sugar or rising cholesterol? Your cells’ power plants (mitochondria) might be the missing link. In this week’s newsletter I cover how mitochondrial health impacts cholesterol, diabetes & heart function, why post-viral fatigue happens (COVID can disrupt mitochondria), and how Urolithin A (MitoPure) supports mitophagy.

https://mailchi.mp/core-wellnessgroup/seed-oils-simplified-what-to-swap-what-to-keep Seed oils: not all good or bad—context matters. Quality, heat, and dose drive their impact. In this week’s post I share easy swaps (EVOO/avocado for cooking, DIY dressing), how to rebalance omega-6:omega-3 with wild salmon & sardines, and when a practitioner-grade EPA/DHA helps.
