What would be some good search terms for classes that would teach nutrition bonus points if you have a particular course in mind. Thanks!

One of my past flatmates literally self-diagnosed himself with diabetes out of nowhere and started extreme dieting - made all sugar and high-carb foods haram and even started mixing his own flour to make it "multigrain". Since we were sharing kitchen expenses all of our meals then started involving coarse bread and either chicken or tofu at all times. Made me constipated for a while.

I think all he really wanted was an excuse for that diet and it does seem to have worked well in him; shame it didn't do so on me and just made me eat outside more instead.

100%. For example right now the meat and dairy lobby groups are pushing hard for everyone to eat for more protein than they need. Now, I have people who can't tell the difference between a cytokine and a histone without using Google, even if it slapped them round the face, telling me they need 100g plus a day in Brotien. Its just a coincidence that this so called health advice makes those groups a lot more money.

alot of people buy into the "flouride-free" gluten free, and inflammation, lysine diet apparently.

My body is an engine that turns food into lifting a hundred pounds of machinery. I dead lifted a generator about a week ago, yet it was the tree I felled a month ago that fucked up my shoulder.

When I read "nutritional hexes" I assumed this would be honeycomb related.

my boss does a "cleanse" once a month. IDK what she takes but she also believes ivermectin cures cancer, sooooo....
Its no coincidence that she is one of the sickest "healthy" people ive met. She has no health conditions or chronic illnesses. Shes in good physical shape and doesn't smoke or drink. Exercises most days, etc. Yet, she "cant get out of bed" or has some mystery stomach flu or something like that about once a month. Funny how that seems to line up just after her cleanses. I suggested once that she was making it worse with the cleanses but she just doubled down.
Willfully ignorant and proud.

as soon as you hear (X) cures cancer you know shes deep into pseudoscience, its one of the "gateway" into pseudoscience. those cleanses are likely messing up her gut microbiome causing "diarrhea, GI problems". when i took antibiotics once he caused watery runs, and it never was the same.

i wonder if shes getting antibiotics from a shady ass doctor, i know if you take too much you will have chronic GI problems. there something called chronic lyme, where its usually midwestern woman believes its chronic so they go to a MD that is "specialized in Lyme" to be prescribed on antbiotics for months on end, and to convince themselves they have it, they take another shady test for lyme.

Firehouse in the USA: "right leaning straight white guys that watch FOX news" is over represented. We work 24 hour shifts and thus cook two meals a day at the station. Inevitably that means I get to experience whatever dumb-ass dietary advice the manosphere/RFK Jr. is pushing: keto, carnivore, MORE PROTEIN, etc.

They get hilariously defensive when I tell them "I don't do fad diets".
