Yes, but you may need to speak to your healthcare provider if you have a certain medical condition. That said, most health symptoms or health conditions would likely benefit from a clean eating approach. You just may need to make certain adaptions to your needs (such as low-carb or low-sodium).
I have a master’s degree in public health with a specialty in nutrition. I am also studying to be a certified holistic nutritionist and should be certified as of late 2024 or early 2025. Learn more about my background.
I do not receive any funding from any companies or industries. Occasionally I do sponsored social media posts or blog posts, but that is very, very rare. I prefer to spend my time doing my own research and offering my honest educated opinion about topics.
I make money from my ad company that runs ads on my website and pays a certain amount per 1,000 visits to my website. I also have a few affiliate relationships with Amazon and Equip Foods, but I always disclose my affiliation whenever I recommend a product. I also follow the Federal Trade Commission guidelines of the United States government in terms of disclosing any sponsored work (which, again, is very, very rare).
