When Did Health Get So Complicated?

Somewhere along the way… health got complicated.Carbs are bad.No wait — carbs are fine.Fruit has too much sugar.Actually… eat more fruit.Protein is everything.Oops — now we’re worried we’re eating too much of that too.And suddenly something as basic as eating feels like something we can get wrong.In this episode of PeriQueen, I sit down with nutrition expert and coach EC Synkowski, host of The Consistency Project, to talk about why so many of us feel overwhelmed by health advice — especially in midlife.We explore what actually matters when it comes to nutrition, and what we might need to start letting go of.In this conversation, we talk about:Why we’re still afraid of carbs (especially fruit!)The truth about calories, protein, and weight lossHow diet culture shaped the way we see our bodiesWhy your food environment matters more than you thinkThe connection between exercise, identity, and healthWhy consistency beats perfection every timeAnd maybe most importantly…Why we might be making health a lot harder than it needs to be.If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or just plain tired of trying to “get it right” when it comes to food — this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.🎧 Learn more about EC:Website: https://optimizemenutrition.comPodcast: The Consistency ProjectInstagram: @optimizemenutritionAbout your hostI’m Trisha Miltimore — keynote speaker, communication coach, and lifelong storyteller.PeriQueen is a space where we explore midlife honestly — the shifts, the questions, and the conversations we’re finally ready to have.Because midlife isn’t a crisis… it’s the main event.
