SLP 298: We Don’t Find Health In The Extremes with Steph Lowe

‘I certainly think that a lower carb healthy fat approach is essential for some people especially our type 2 diabetics, but I think we do not find health in the extremes. And that’s the problem with our industry and with Instagram and Tik Tok and 3 second reels. And where we’re getting our information from these days on one hand is extremely powerful in terms of access to information, but I think it’s unfortunately perpetuating this extremism, where people who are well meaning and trying to develop incredible health and body literacy don’t yet understand nuance. And I think often because of where we get our information from it does perpetuate those extremes.’ ~ Steph Lowe Steph Lowe is a mother, Nutritionist, yogi and founder of The Natural Nutritionist, a hub for celebrating the importance of real food, who specialises in low iron, low thyroid, periods and perimenopause.
