🥗Diet & Nutrition

The supply chain. Every other department depends on this one.

Risk signals

What to watch.

Nutrition is the most argued-about, least consistently practiced health domain. Ignore the arguments. Track what you eat and how you feel.

Energy crashes

Post-meal fatigue. Glycemic response. Which meals cause it? That's the data.

Cravings patterns

Consistent cravings = deficiency signal or blood sugar instability.

Hydration

Urine color is the metric. Dark = dehydrated. Simple, free, ignored.

Nutrient deficiency signs

Brittle nails, cracked lips, muscle cramps. Micronutrient gaps showing externally.

Maintenance

The floor.

This is not aspirational. This is the minimum viable maintenance schedule. Everything above this is upside.

CadenceAction
DailyProtein target: 0.8-1g per pound bodyweight. Hydrate: half bodyweight in oz. Eat vegetables.
WeeklyReview what you actually ate (not what you planned to eat).
QuarterlyBloodwork: vitamin D, B12, iron, magnesium. The common deficiencies.
AnnuallyFull metabolic panel. Adjust supplementation based on data, not trends.
Professional routing

When to call the specialist.

Registered Dietitian / Nutritionist

Cadence: Quarterly bloodwork review

Trigger: Persistent deficiency symptoms, unexplained weight change, disordered eating patterns

Registered Dietitians are evidence-based. Nutritionists may or may not be. Check credentials. Avoid anyone selling supplements as their primary recommendation.
