Confused by every new diet, superfood, or supplement trend? You’re not alone.

In today’s world, nutrition has become a buzzword. Everywhere you look, there’s a new “must-have” food — superfoods, antioxidants, functional foods.And then there are diets — keto, vegan, anti-inflammatory, low-carb, high-protein.

For many people, this creates constant confusion:

What should I eat?
Which ones should I skip?
Am I missing out if I don’t follow the latest trend?

This fear of missing out (FOMO) is very real.

A Real Story from My Practice

At Feronia, I once met a patient who perfectly reflected this trend.

He had purchased over 40 sachets of plant-based supplements.Every day, he mixed and matched them based on his own “understanding.”

But here’s the problem:

There was no clear dosage
No scientific nutrition plan
Just the belief that “more is better”

The reality?

His blood sugars were completely uncontrolled.

He was frustrated, anxious, and resistant to starting medication — even though his body needed it.

The Turning Point

We spent hours counseling him — breaking myths, calming fears, and creating a clear plan.

Finally, he agreed to a structured, evidence-based approach:

Balanced Indian meals, portioned correctly
Regular physical activity
The right medication to stabilize his sugars

The Transformation

Within just 3 months, his results were inspiring:

Blood sugars came down to meaningful levels
His energy and confidence returned
He even referred more patients, realizing that clarity beats confusion
