(Updated 27th June 2025)
This page aims to onboard all readers and visitors new to this entire Concept Initiative, the blog and manuscript ~ its intent(s), vision, and overall summation. The "Concept Initiative" here refers to any(one) of the following projects and subproject(s) This Author (AW / Andrewwiguna.com) commenced circa 2015:
For privacy, free of surveillance-stigma, and acceptance of self-expression.
Unlike other content creators, I lead unpretentious yet busy and inundating daily life. Not every content creators are comfortable (though some are completely care-free) embracing their multiple endeavours irrespective of their social ecosystems.
Hence I present, as a request for public (members of public/ relative or not relative) impartiality (freedom of tethered judgments).
This entire Concept Initiative, and all its sub-projects have been envisioned strictly as a work-in-progress ~ initiative and lateral ambition of This Author (AW) to facilitate on-going nuanced themes of alternative nutrition, in the context of accessibility.
Effective circa 2021 onwards ~ this entire Concept Initiative / Nutritional Humility™ has been officially declared as "under-rebrand". A summarised rationale behind this, is to improve readability, accessibility and its branding identity over the broad and nuanced themes of nutrition. However, This Author (AW) remain obligated to continue producing new content, both video and written as pledge for consistency.
The entire "rebrand" consists of:
However, readers are welcome to download a prior / legacy version of the Parent Manuscript by clicking here.
Be forewarned that this Legacy version has not been updated nor revised.
For more information on the Rebrand rationale, please visit the official Rebrand Notice. As well as also ~ the accompanying video message announcement in Youtube®.
A factual, on-going life account of nutritional frugality under structural theme of Inaccessibility, alongside contemplative assertion against authoritarianism amidst mainstream literatures surrounding nutrition, health and wellness.
Since its rough inception(s) in 2013 as a first (one-off printed copy) in December 2015 ("Humility Through Frugality") ~ this entire initiative, including its manuscripts and its books ~ remains free for all public viewership. Absolutely no monetary incentive has derived, from any or all time exerted thus far off This Author's (AW)'s own discretion use of time and resources.
This Concept Initiative is never intended to be clinically "prescriptive" by way of direct "advices" or for "treating" any chronic illnesses, beyond This Author's own (AW™) indemnity as a scrutinising member of public. Please observe the Limited Indemnity Disclosure here.
Citations wherever possible in form of Scientific literatures and/or journalism are provided as respectfully possible to reinforce This Author (AW)'s stances to compel advancing discussion(s), than myopically prescriptive ~ extrapolations. Both "for' and "contrarian" views are presented in the most even manner possible.
It is much easier disclosing what this Concept Initiative do NOT preach. Chiefly - common signalling(s) and/or narratives as follows:
Objectively, this Initiatives informs and shares, as suggestive thiough not as prescriptive "Cyclical Ketogenic + Intermittent Fasting" as way-of-eating ("WOE" for short). Subjectively however, are the willing indemnity and/or repercussions. This inevitably rests, one way or another no differently to any disclaimers within any health and/or wellness channels ~ back onto the readers' own capable hands.
Lacking amidst present climate of "influencers", are the contemplatives surrounding philosophy and/or themes compelling introspective reading. Here in this Initiative, four (4) over-arching themes are proposed as acronyms :
Then, there are end "call-to-actions" to compel both closure that embodies all the above, as follows
The Book / Parent Manuscript was not envisioned as a long “thesis”. Instead, it is delivered in a Questions-Meet-Answers format. This allows a conversational yet stern ~ tonality. Particularly reserved early on during Chapters #1 to #4. As well as #7 and #8. Readers are welcome to skip much of these verbose philosophical “debate”. But in doing so, an understanding of Nutrition’s relativity to wider concerns of Sociology remains missing.
Nutrition alone is ration. But Philosophy helps express that further to become rationale. Hence, This book is “food”. Ration for both Thoughts and Science.
For many years since its inception (circa. 2015) this website does not expect arithmetic “Likes” as gratitude. It is however optional, but ultimately not required. Neither the Book nor its Blog ask for monetary donations. Nor its Youtube® Channel asks its viewers to "follow" as "subscribers".
However should anything that this Project compels its readers and visitors, then they are encouraged to donate their's own thoughts in gratified authenticity. Through sincere commenting and/or writing. Hence, "Live-It-Forward" ~ despite oft-remarked as farewell or parting statement ~ deeply portrays a message for continuous imploration of anecdotes and N=1 experiences as yet another biological undertaking for contemplations. As opposed to instrumental thanksgiving of "Likes" which is prone for inflationary interpretations.
Nutritional Humility™ concerns beyond topics of Nutrition. It is a contemplative space of its author (Andrew Wiguna) upon many nuanced subjects. From Veganism, the Mouse Utopia Experiment, and Survivorship Bias.
Worthy to read are the Annual Food For thoughts. Comprising of detailed insights on the Author's progressive experiences. Through supplementation, nutrition, psychology, and fitness training. All spanning across each entire year. Readers and visitors will be assured to find days, if not weeks of informative reading. Such intensity of information and experience(s) they may not find anywhere else.
Nutritional Humility™ distinguishes itself against many of its commercialised peers. Never a "one-off" completion. It remains subjective for pragmatic revisions for progressivity and clarity overtime.
As of March 2019, Google+ no longer becomes active. All content have been migrated to MeWe®; a privacy-centric social media platform. Going forward, this will serve as frontal news hub for this Project. As well as that of the author's own personal social network.
Your viewership and written thoughts on this Initiative are appreciated. None of this is supported by third party. All this is written, designed, maintained by one (1) person alone. More importantly ~ all this is a work in progress. Changes come and go.
Perhaps years later from now - this Project is a stepping stone for something else much bigger.
Live-It-Forward.
