Is “everything in moderation” the holy grail of health—or just another dietary myth that’s leading us astray? In this fiery sermon on Blasphemous Nutrition, Aimee pulls back the curtain on this so-called sacred advice, challenging its vague, one-size-fits-all gospel with her signature sass and unholy candor.

Aimee lays bare how modern food systems, misleading health guidelines, and the cult of convenience have turned “moderation” into a false idol, exposing how the ambiguity around moderation leaves us wandering in the wilderness of confusion, craving direction and balance.

But salvation is at hand! The real path to dietary enlightenment is one that starts with listening to your body’s wisdom and ends with using tools like lab tests and personal health goals to discover your true north. Along the way, Aimee critiques the food industry and vague government policies, but celebrates Canada’s low-risk alcohol guidelines as a rare beacon of nuanced advice that can be transferred as a starting point for other consumables that need guardrails. Tune in for the unvarnished real talk and take the first step toward writing your own gospel of health. Hallelujah!

Key Takeaways:

• The phrase "Everything in moderation" is often misinterpreted due to its ambiguous nature and lack of a clear definition.
• The Canadian guidelines for alcohol consumption offer a nuanced perspective, highlighting a continuum of risk rather than fixed limits.
• For significant health improvements, it's essential to critically evaluate dietary advice and find what is sustainable and effective for you.
• Personalized health strategies, informed by both internal cues and external data, are necessary to manage or prevent disease effectively.
