What we mean by nutrition non-negotiables and why we feel that they're important
Nutrition non-negotiables are the things that you would never do i.e. totally non-negotiable. So, it’s a tool to help you implement key nutrition practices consistently all the time.

So usually, what we do is help clients rank what would make the biggest difference to them, and then work with them to put new practices in place, so that they'll soon be living in a way which encompasses their personal non-negotiables.
