The internet has made health and fitness more accessible than ever… but it’s also made it way more confusing.

In this episode of Level Up With Sharelle and Dani, we break down some of the biggest nutrition myths circulating online right now and why they’re misleading so many people.

We talk about:

• The truth about hormones and fat loss

• Why carbs don’t make you fat (and why your body actually needs them)

• The myth that eating after a certain time causes weight gain

• How overly rigid nutrition rules can create more stress than progress

The reality?

Most people don’t need extreme diets or complicated protocols.

They need to focus on the basics. Consistent training. Balanced nutrition. Sleep. Recovery. And a strategy that actually fits their life.

If you’ve ever felt confused by the constant stream of nutrition advice online, this episode will help you filter through the noise.
