“I’ve tried everything.”
If that’s you, you’re not alone. You’ve swapped diets, cut things out, added supplements, maybe even followed a plan to the letter, and you still don’t feel like yourself. You might be tired, bloated, frustrated, or wondering why it seems easier for everyone else.
Here’s the thing. It’s usually not willpower. It’s biology.
Most nutrition advice is built for the so called average person, but nobody’s actually average. Your body processes food, nutrients, and stress in its own way. If your plan doesn’t match how your body works, it can feel like you’re pushing uphill the whole time.
Why One-Size-Fits-All Diets Fall Apart
Two people can eat the same meal and get totally different results. That’s because bodies aren’t all the same. Some people burn carbs well. Others feel better with more fat. Some stay steady with blood sugar. Others spike and crash even when they’re eating “healthy.”
When a diet doesn’t fit, your body lets you know. Energy drops. Cravings ramp up. Digestion gets weird. Progress stalls.
That’s not you failing. That’s your body giving you feedback.
The Genetic Layer Most Diets Ignore
Your genes influence how your body responds to food. That doesn’t mean your genes are your destiny, but they do help explain why a plan that works great for your friend can leave you feeling heavy, inflamed, or drained.
For example, some people handle saturated fat just fine, while others don’t. Some convert plant based fats into usable omega 3s efficiently, and some need a more direct source. Some bodies keep blood sugar steady without much effort, and others struggle even with “good” carbs.
- Fat metabolism
- Carbohydrate tolerance
- Nutrient conversion
- Inflammation response
- Detox and hormone metabolism
- Blood sugar regulation
So if you’ve tried keto, paleo, Mediterranean, plant based, or low carb eating and felt like none of it really clicked, there’s a reason. It might not be the plan. It might be the mismatch.
Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny
Even if you’ve got certain genetic tendencies, you’re not stuck with them.
Your daily choices matter a lot. Food quality, nutrient intake, sleep, stress levels, movement, toxin exposure, and daily rhythms all influence how your genes are expressed. That’s epigenetics, and it’s one of the biggest reasons you can change how you feel without needing a perfect plan.
You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do the right things for your body.
Why Normal Lab Results Don’t Tell The Whole Story
This is another big one. Standard labs are based on population averages, not what’s optimal for you.
So you can be told “everything looks normal” while still feeling exhausted, inflamed, or off. Markers related to cholesterol patterns, inflammation, homocysteine, or key nutrients might fall in the normal range but still point to imbalance when you look at the full picture.
That’s why context matters. Symptoms, habits, stress, sleep, digestion, energy patterns, and labs together tell a much clearer story than any one number alone.
