How To Stay Unbothered By Bad Fitness Advice

I’m often asked, “Alex, does it bother you when people say, [insert bad nutrition advice]?”

Once upon a time, it did. Admittedly, I’d have an almost visceral reaction to try and correct them.

But these days not much bothers me anymore.

I learned that my reactions stemmed from being disappointed that people didn’t know better. Then I realized how presumptuous of me it is to assume that people who are busy and don’t spend all their time understanding fitness should be expected to know better.

The fitness industry should know better. They should know better than to push that nonsense onto people in the first place. People who are, more than anything, just looking for a bit of hope that they can be happier than they are right now.

I spend my days kindly teaching the right information. And if someone isn’t explicitly asking for my advice, and they aren’t potentially harming anyone else, I just nod my head and smile—unbothered.
