Articles without diet fluff
I write about food and health without forbidden-food lists or slogans, I explain first and let you draw your own conclusions. Read at your own pace, there is no wrong door.
Why I write without the diet fluff
Most of what gets written about food and health is made to grab attention. Lists of forbidden foods. Promises about two weeks. Words nobody uses in real life.
I write differently. I explain first. Every piece starts from the fact that your body works exactly the way a person is built to work, and that the problem is very rarely your willpower. It's usually that no one has ever explained how this whole thing actually works.
I don't give medical instructions and I don't comment on anyone's medication. That's always a matter between you and your own doctor. I also don't promise kilos or timelines. I tell you what I've seen and learned myself, and let you draw your own conclusion.
Read at your own pace. There is no wrong door.
All articles
Type 2 diabetes and diet
The role of diet and your relationship with food in type 2 diabetes care, alongside treatment, never instead of it. Understanding without ban lists.

What can be useful to examine at the prediabetes stage: daily life, your relationship with food and your doctor's monitoring together.
Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications alongside lifestyle change
What GLP-1 medication solves and what it does not solve alone: daily habits, emotional eating and learned patterns. An honest view, not anti-medication.
Coming off medication safely
Why reducing medication is your doctor's call, and what in daily life is still in your hands. Changing food, alongside treatment, no promises.
Lasting weight loss without the rebound cycle
Why weight can return, and what you can examine in everyday weight management without counters. Understanding before rules.
Breaking the yo-yo dieting cycle
Why a fixed-term weight-loss attempt is built to end, and why the same experience repeats. The cycle breaks with understanding, not a fifth attempt.
Why temporary diet breaks aren't enough
Why days off and diet breaks can keep a cycle going, and what you can examine instead in your own relationship with food.
The afternoon energy dip
Why you hit a wall at three o'clock, and why another coffee will not fix it. Steadier energy is built from small additions, not new rules or counters.
Human biology and modern life

What WILDERBODY® promises and what it doesn't: no medical advice, no claims of curing illness. Experiences as experiences, evidence as evidence.
Start here
If you don't know where to start, start with the door that's open for you.
If there's a blood test result your doctor flagged, read Type 2 Diabetes and Diet. It explains what food can and can't do in this situation.
If your readings are only borderline and no diagnosis has been made, Prediabetes, How to Act in Time is your text. I consider it the most important article on the whole site, because the early moment is also the easiest one.
If it's about weight, and about having gone the same round many times already, start with the text Lasting Weight Loss Without the Rebound Cycle.
And if you first want to understand why this is so hard for people today, read Human Biology and Modern Life. It's the foundation everything else rests on, in a way.
Weight management and the yo-yo cycle
Weight rarely comes back because someone is lazy. It comes back because the change was built on endurance, and endurance always runs out sooner or later.
Breaking the Yo-Yo Dieting Cycle goes through the mechanics of it: why a strict stretch almost always produces a backlash, and what needs to happen before anything is taken away.
Why Temporary Diet Breaks Aren't Enough continues the same subject from another angle. It looks at the stretches that were meant to be temporary from the start, and why temporary doesn't produce lasting.
Lasting Weight Loss Without the Rebound Cycle brings these together and describes what change looks like when it's built on understanding rather than willpower.
These texts don't promise kilos or a timeline. I describe what, in my experience, makes the difference last.
Blood sugar, diabetes and medication
This part of the site is written carefully, and the reason is simple. I'm not a doctor and I don't give medical instructions.
Type 2 Diabetes and Diet explains what changing your relationship with food means once a diagnosis has already been made. Prediabetes, How to Act in Time deals with the stage where nothing has been confirmed yet, but the direction is already known.
Ozempic and Other GLP-1 Medication Alongside Lifestyle Change answers a question many people ask quietly: does medication rule out lifestyle work. It doesn't.
Coming Off Medication Safely is exactly what it sounds like. It describes how to talk about this at all, and repeats what I say every time: your dosage, and any change to it, is always your treating doctor's decision, not your coach's. If your diet changes, tell your doctor. That's the whole heart of doing this safely.
Daily life, energy and self-esteem
Change shows up in daily life before it shows up on the scale.
The Afternoon Energy Dip is for many people the first concrete thing they notice. The text goes through what the two o'clock tiredness is really about, and why it's rarely down to age, even though that's the explanation so often given.
Self-Esteem, Body and Relationships After Change deals with the part talked about least. When your relationship with food settles down, it doesn't stay at the dinner table.
Human Biology and Modern Life explains the background. You're not broken. The environment changed faster than people did.
Two texts deal with language itself. A Real Voice, No Diet Clichés or Biohacker Jargon explains why I avoid certain words. Responsible Communication About Health Changes explains what I promise and what I don't, and why that boundary matters to me.
Explore the programmes
The articles are free, and they're meant to be read without you needing to do anything else.
If one of them raises questions, you can read the related programme and guide pages at your own pace. They explain the options and their limits without asking you to make a decision.
If you want to discuss your own situation, getting in touch is one option. You can say what you are looking for and get a direct answer about whether an option fits you. The conversation does not commit you to anything.
