About RealisticNutrition

An Independent Hub for Understanding Nutrition Science

RealisticNutrition exists to provide accessible, evidence-based information about nutrition science and everyday food decisions. We recognise that understanding how food affects health is complex, context-dependent, and deeply personal.

Our approach differs from much of the nutrition information available online. We do not:

  • Sell products, programmes, or coaching services
  • Provide individualised dietary advice or recommendations
  • Make promises about specific health outcomes
  • Present one approach as universally right
  • Simplify science into false certainties

Instead, we explain what research shows, acknowledge what remains uncertain, and describe how real life shapes food decisions. We present nutrition as a complex, evolving field where individual variation is the norm.

Knowledge hub and learning space

Our Perspective

Realistic nutrition understanding acknowledges:

  • Individual variation in how bodies process and respond to food
  • The profound influence of context, culture, and lifestyle on eating
  • The difference between what science knows with confidence and what remains uncertain
  • The limitations of nutrition research and the complexity of human physiology
  • The role of social, emotional, and environmental factors in food decisions

This perspective means we present information objectively, avoid oversimplification, and help people think critically about nutrition.
