Nutrition · Training · Testosterone · Functional Health


I grew up in a British-Indian household where my grandmother was doing functional nutrition before it had a name. She would have looked at most modern "wellness" products and laughed, then made you something with turmeric and told you to go outside. I think about her a lot when I am reading the research, because the research usually catches up eventually.

Ten years in functional nutrition has taught me that most men are eating and training in ways that actively work against them, and they have been told it is discipline. It is not. It is just bad information.

I cover food, training and hormonal health, and I write for every man, regardless of background, culture, or what your dad told you about protein. Men of all backgrounds deserve accurate information, not advice built around one body type or one version of masculinity.

Marcus and I disagree about training frequency so regularly that we have started scheduling it. Amy is right about magnesium, even though I will not say that to her face. Seb's bloodwork obsession is, clinically speaking, a lot, but the man gets results.

"Will argue with a personal trainer if their advice contradicts the literature. Has done this more than once."


Edith covers: nutrition for hormonal health, training principles backed by evidence, food culture and men's health, and why your Sunday meal prep is probably missing three things that matter more than the macros.
