What works for you won\u2019t always be backed by science.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is supported by science won\u2019t always work best for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean your non-scientific approach isn\u2019t effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also doesn\u2019t mean the science that does <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> support your approach isn\u2019t right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most effective approach for the majority of people is what is supported by science. But, even the best research has limitations. It can\u2019t adjust to all the details of real life. Once you realize this, it\u2019s easier to navigate the \u201cyou\u201d plan with fewer bumps in the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use science like a compass, but don\u2019t be afraid to channel your inner explorer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use science like a compass, but don\u2019t be afraid to channel your inner explorer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The destination of your ideal health plan is found at the intersection of doing what works and experimenting with what works for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you find this desired location?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use science to leverage principles that we have <\/span>strong<\/span><\/i> reasons to believe are true and will work for the majority of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use personal experience, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences to adjust the principles to work for you, even if it means bending the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to balance these two variables \u2014 and letting the former lead the latter \u2014 will help guide you to better health.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
