At <strong>looking back, bleak or not, over the last ten years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let's begin with some context and history.<\/p>\n<h3>1\/4<br \/>\nThe very first beginnings. What started all this. \u00a02014-2016.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11460\" src=\"http:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/First-book.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>People these days (back then also) ~ expects monumental <strong>\"rags to riches\" story.\u00a0<\/strong>Mine, is unlikely one that \"impresses\" or that of a shock factor.<\/p>\n<p>As far as themes between money and health troubleshooting - I could stop right there. But should one is patient enough, I reward them my gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, let's examine our current climate of \"influencers\". All self-help \/ influencer channels starts from attempts at improving - their own selve(s). Then proclaiming their experience(s) as (in some way shape or form) a share-able wisdom.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>NOT to paint any one criticism here. Mine was no different. But quite <b>understated.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thereonwards ~ I was prepared and still is to this day, be judged by my circumstances as \"normal\".<\/p>\n<p>But it saddens me that people don't seem to tolerate the \"<strong><em>middle class<\/em><\/strong>\" of any personal or historic struggles. That is, \u00a0unless one is seen as \"pathological\" or \"severe\" <strong>enough,<\/strong> by a common heuristic, compassion is less granted.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I had legitimate propositions within my channel. Mindfulness. Humble eating. Followed by \"frugal\" eating plans. But that as utility soon wears off as just yet another <strong>pity soap<\/strong> <strong>opera<\/strong>. And sooner or later ~ my credibility then gets questioned, considering <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewwiguna.com\">my industry's bread and butter is polar opposite*.<\/a><\/p>\n<h6><em>*People love pigeon-holing based on job titles. If they find your LinkedIN\u00ae \u00a0\"hobbies\" section does not align to their's or common interests - eg. \"seeing the world\", \"outings\", \"travelling\", \"crafts\", \"carpentry\" on top of \"upskilling\" ,,,,then you'll probably be told at some stage to remove them. If you find this strange, perhaps consider your experience the exception than the rule.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>I could perhaps write something <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/about-me-part-1-ankylosing-spondylitis-other-health-malaises\/\">about the AS \/ Anyklosing Spondylitis<\/a> considering the confirmed positive test that I do have a HLA-B27 following disc injury (L4\/5\/S1). But that, as I am thankful enough that it did not warrant their severity enough for me (at least not yet) ~ warrants putting myself front and centre as a \"campaign\". <strong>That would be grossly immoral <\/strong>to those who do have the legitimate progression of the disease. Hence I decided to keep a low profile on this.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of that, amidst all these normalisation of \"not poor\" or \"not bad enough\", I kept on trusting myself anyway to keep going. \u00a0If you ever find yourself a vocation, an activity or anything than your line of work, that for whatever reasons you just can't put into words, than feeling that this is somehow your \"calling\" - then you know what I'm talking about. <strong>You'd do whatever it takes, no matter how embarrassing, how laborious, to do this anyway.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What was mostly a series of articles (back when I had my Squarespace site), slowly morphed to a <em>questions meet answers mini book<\/em>. Hand-bound, laser printed pocket \"draft\" in 2015.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A nightmare certainly from DIY perspective. Atrociously bad, writing wise too. The only thing worth going through trial &amp; error despite all the waste - was the heat transfer cover via lamination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then, believing I could do a \"lot more\". Why not push it further?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So fast forward in 31st of December 2015, the first \"full\" 200 page book was, all of a sudden ~ in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>Then throughout 2016-2020+ onwards - the revisions that followed what became today ~ the first rebrand and retitle from HTF to <strong>Nutritional Humility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11462\" src=\"http:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/HTF.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Still - the embarrasments coming from the writings, despite thousands of hours spent - remained unimproved.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"This would never have been passable.\". \"Nobody would read this.\".<\/em> Self doubt \/ impostor syndrome reels in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I kept going rewriting and revising where and when opportunity allow back then anyway.

Leading to my own depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<h3>The official need for rebrand<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/announcement-nutritional-humility-rebrand-in-progress\/\">In 2021 a sombre realisation emerged.<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>I realised that \"eating well\", within themes of frugality, whilst simultaneously also challenging antiquated view(s) in nutrition science and wellness - were in many ways, conflicting with the <em>communally<\/em> shared notion of <b>\"Humility\".<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hence, in 2021 I decided it'd be best to rebrand this entire initiative elsewhere more \"progressive\". \u00a0The tug-of-war, tribalism like mentality amongst dieting, nutrition circles could be at times, a little too much.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hence I'd wager, the unspoken remaining undertone beneath every \"health\" or \"fitness\" success stories ~ lies in honouring the <strong><em>individuality in its pursuit. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As of <strong>2023<\/strong> onwards, I have decided to remove the <strong>downloadable book\u00a0<\/strong>altogether from the main site.<\/p>\n<p>And that as per history suggested was that.<\/p>\n<p>Still incomplete. Work in progress.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9653\" src=\"http:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/brandmaking_04.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2\/4<br \/>\nThings I hypothetically suggest. Where and how it's changed.<\/h3>\n<p>For context and reminder, much of the nutritional strategies throughout this channel revolves around Cyclical keto \/ Low carbohydrate with IF intermittent fasts. I implored this as a likely - destination. Not as starting point.<\/p>\n<p>Some things I do occasionally suggest, broadly, just as examples among those who are just \"starting point\" ~ were typical in the likes of emphasising <strong>very high<\/strong> intake of fibres. But only temporarily to allow reflection on gut distensions.<\/p>\n<p>Among the key ones that I would pay attention, <em>experienced dieters or not - \u00a0<\/em>would be <strong>FODMAPs, <\/strong>fibre intakes, oxalates and more recently ~ foods high in Copper. Yes I suspect most would be aware of their topics, but perhaps one that obligate more attention would be<strong> copper<\/strong> particularly surrounding <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/holistic-psychiatry-zinc-imbalances-other-potential-root-causes\/\">mental health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Consider myself guilty, for I have on various occasions praised foods I thought as supportive. Avocados, spinach, dark chocolates, to name a few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_11435\" style=\"width: 872px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11435\" class=\" wp-image-11435\" src=\"http:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pork-shoulder-and-beef-bones.webp\" alt=\"Pork shoulder and beef bones\" width=\"862\" height=\"571\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork shoulder and beef bones<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>3\/5<br \/>\nMy own nutrition at present.<\/h3>\n<p>If there is one thing I took for granted was Nutrigenomics. <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/methylation\/\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">The amount of <\/span>knowledge handed to me in my 2022 report was quite significant<\/a>\u00a0 that I encourage others to save up and invest for their own reporting likewise. MTHFR and COMT mutations? Yes I have them.<\/p>\n<p>Food intolerances (FODMAPs) in varying agrees still matter. Xylitols and erithrytol in 99% of stevia products GUARANTEE gut pains and dissensions galore; throughout all fasting windows.<\/p>\n<p>Fibre - as love and hate topic ~ have me neither convinced that less <strong>or <\/strong>more is better to me psychologically and physiologically. I would still likely continue periodising between none and low amounts. <strong>But not high.<\/strong> Why? fibre is one of those macronutrient, unlike carbs, proteins or even fats - that I never felt any inclination of a \"liking\". That is, it is never something I've ever \"missed\".<\/p>\n<p>Plant based PUFA N3s aka flaxseeds do not sit well with me for reasons as I wrote in some occasions in the past Annual Food For Thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what remained consistent?<\/strong> Eggs and gelatinous cuts of meats shoulders, legs, etc. Alongside their heavy fluids too, from pressure cooking as I find dry(er) foods less satiating. But I still enjoy simpler life surrounding microwaved minced meats with sauerkraut ~ hot, \u00a0cold and salty together actually works wonders during uncomfortably hot summer days. Sardines, thankfully remains as the most affordable source of marine PUFA N3, despite being recommended Krill Oil supplementation which I do not, readily justify their high price costs.<\/p>\n<p>What about supplements? Gone are the days of my fixating on micro specifics. But I still take them but occasionally as insurance policies. B<a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/is-this-one-1-of-the-most-important-nutritional-supplements\/\">etaine HCL + pepsin,<\/a> few No-tropics - <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/my-early-experiences-with-no-tropics\/\">Gingko and ALCAR and<\/a> anything fat solubles non negotiable - Vitamin D, E, K2 and COQ10. Minerals wise - on top of potassium chloride and magnesium flakes (I no longer think expensive chelates are worth it) - Zinc ~ as \u00a0be an insurance policy against excess copper.<\/p>\n<h3>4\/5<br \/>\nLooking back on my feature videos<\/h3>\n<p>For context, I have been using a very unconventional, \"third person\" method when addressing myself in front of the camera as \"This Author\". Reason: my depression and anxiety (at the time) - coping via deliberate identity disassociation. However I decided to no longer use this method for its (obviously) frustrating listening experience. Hence, a conventional first person instead, was eventually resorted. <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/announcement-first-person-self-referencing\/\">For more details, please read this article here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, is there anything worth reflecting? \u00a0Yes. Though only very few.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/utopia-as-dystopia-feature-dissertation-summary\/\"><strong>\"Utopia as Dystopia?\"<\/strong><\/a> was my very first attempt at viral video essay in the hope for additional views to my channel.<\/p>\n<p>This video ~ was all that I could ever wanted to inform the reader. Harsh and as (fittingly) objective realisation of the world at the time. But on the flipside, I posited on things we can do, at least from nutrition perspective.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Perhaps cringe, \u00a0poorly produced, or both. The three constant months- around-the-clock, no templates, all manually created motion graphics effects, transitions and effects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then, there's <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/expired-foods-guide-experiences-3-3\/\">the three part expired foods guide.<\/a> This was, I admit, an <strong>extremely draining<\/strong> series where I had to seek and provide as many citations on the Science behind expired foods. Despite its own problems ~ the lighting \/ how I set up the scene for instance was atrociously bad as my own writing at times. Because at the time I had to make every bit of typography to stand out front and centre.<\/p>\n<p>I could reflect on the more \"usual\" share(s) - <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vkd3p4Na8wU?si=BCEHAHT8Z2mP8SfD\">frugal protein recommendations<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s6Z8CREAf2A\">day in the life<\/a>(s) - including refeed days.

Make room!\" <\/strong><\/em>and<strong><em> \"Soylent Green\"<\/em>) <\/strong>\u00a0~ <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_B._Calhoun\">John Calhoun, \u00a0a behavioural scientist working for National Mental Institute of Health (NIMH) at the time - <\/a>\u00a0conducted a famous experiment to see the effects of overcrowding in as pragmatic timeframe as possible, which that of course necessitated animal models. Lasting between July 1968 to May 1973 - \u00a0he built a \"world\" for mice where everything is as \"perfectly\" maintained a possible. From climate, temperature, with absolute miracle\/s of all - no predators, and unlimited food and water. In one giant \"apartment\" complex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what I did I learn? A lot.\u00a0<\/strong>There were so much I could reflect, but here I'm only providing three points.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, I believe it does correlate with many cultural niches of our times, mainly affecting men. MGTOW, Red Pill, Black Pill, Incels, \"Rice-cels\", \"Gymcels\" to name a few (and also \"<strong>looksmaxxing\"<\/strong> trend which exploded around late 2010s) . These, from my view, are entirely legitimate <strong>coping mechanism <\/strong>within the predominant social support system currently (or arguably, if others may substantiate) ~ <strong>at odds against one another<\/strong>. Any day can have me convinced we're living in patriarchal dominant system. But the next? Looking through my Youtube feeds ~ am seeing a lot more shorts on \"men giving up\", \"men walking away\", \u00a0\"exodus\", and \"sex-tinction\".<\/p>\n<p>Next, \u00a0beyond fooling ourselves that unlimited resources can do us \"good\", is anything but \"good\". What was left as far as food and shelter is provided, is our own <strong>primal senses. <\/strong>That which lead to Tribalism ~ our tendencies to segregate and\/or alienate.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly ~ is the study's reflection on <strong>sex, gender roles including child rearing, <\/strong>beyond reproductive behaviours. Suffice to say ~ being male and attracted to the <em>attractive<\/em>(s) of the opposite sex ~ the entire experiment does in many ways reflect my personal observations \u00a0~ that it is a struggle more than ever, for one to just \"simply be\". \u00a0All I could ever want to achieve in life was three things. Privacy, secularity, and autonomy to appreciate all that I simply, well, \"appreciate\". \u00a0I'd wager it is our lack of<strong> empathy<\/strong> on the above movements I suggested as coping mechanism\/s - from MGTOWs to Incel movements that it is natural for society to knee-jerk <em>\"You men need to grow up!\";<\/em> than to take pause at acknowledging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch%3Fv%3D5FjQDw0MzOo&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj0-_Ol_6GTAxWbhq8BHejfIF0QFnoECD0QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1m3ynWT0CPmG9sjtrvsBLl\">(and for once, perhaps wearing)<\/a> the <strong>in<\/strong>voluntary shoes of men. The next profound correlation ~ was with looksmaxxing. Among the naivety behaviours seen among the <strong>Beautiful Ones (the last surviving mice, despite \"beautiful\" in their appearance) <\/strong>were quite sobering to read as these mice died alone. \u00a0I speculated, that it is perhaps only a matter of time, that this might become that very \"one day\", although if not already happening, albeit unreported among cultures we often look down and\/or ignored upon ~ <em>Hikkikomori<\/em>, for instance.<\/p>\n<p>Contentious indeed ~ but I have to end this just for now, for sake of decency.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/thoughts-on-cooking-part-1-3\/\">Next feature writing that gels with me, to this day was my \"thoughts on cooking\".<\/a>\u00a0 I could also share these in some respect with my (neutral views) <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/my-thoughts-on-veganism-part-1-3\/\">on Plant based \/ Veganism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Then there was my personal, N=1 attempt at curating my own \"meta-analysis\", drawn and subjected <strong>towards<\/strong> my own circumstances and condition surrounding the potentially lifelong - <strong>Ankylosing Spondylitis<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That led me to brief (but later forgettable,) <strong>obsessive<\/strong> research on <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/self-meta-vitamin-d-supplementation-for-and-against-part-1-of-2\/\">Vitamin D<\/a><strong> then<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritional-humility.me\/should-vitamin-a-be-avoided-a-self-meta-draft\/\">Vitamin A<\/a>. \u00a0These led me to concentrated mini projects on their own, that I dubbed together as \u201c<strong>Self-Meta<\/strong>\u201d. That is - \"Meta\" as in Greek for \"<strong>With\"<\/strong>, and together with \"<strong>Self\"<\/strong> - to metaphorize distillation of complexity, into one's own introspection.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that as much as I would like to learn the above feature has had to be discontinued. Because I could not spare additional mental fortitude, at least the time to patiently comprehend the nuances behind these subject matters.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, there are times sadly one has to give up.
