(Updated 10th August 2026) 
Welcome to the Internet’s least visited independent thoughts on nutrition. Here in this page Andrew Wiguna / Andrewwiguna.com as This Author (AW) welcomes all readers and/or visitors by onboarding them this intiative’s overview, intents and vision as nine (9) separate sections. A little terminology disclosure before we shall begin:

  1. Concept Initiative or “Initiative” here refers to collectively ~ any(one) or more of the following projects and subproject(s) This Author (AW / Andrewwiguna.com) commenced circa 2015
    1. The “Book” or “parent manuscript” ~ Humility Through Frugality (2015). Nutritional-Humility.me (2017~present).
    2. The “Technical” Accompanying Manuscript Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products (2017).
    3. This Blog ~ articles on the alternative nutritional journalism, through accountancy of the author’s experiences throughout themes of Economics & structural inaccessibility.
This Page is subject to periodical revisions overtime for readibility. 

1/9 Public Impartiality Request

“Public” : meaning members of public, including viewers and visitors prospective or retrospective to this Concept Initiative.
“Impartiality”: meaning freedom of bias, stigma or preconceptions.

This Concept Initiative advocates freedom of expression and self-journalism to advance and channel together dialogues among challenges of self-optimisation on themes less traversed – frugality and inaccessibility. As such many thoughts expressed, may be perceived as challenging to the status quo.  Together also with need for personal consolation, public judgments thus potentiate to frame, marginalize or worse – structuring the individual in question away from social opportunities.

Hence This Author (AW) present, as a request for public (members of public/ relative or not relative) for their impartiality (freedom of tethered judgments), especially if they have seen or witnessed the Author, in public spaces – be it work or outside of work – environments.

2/9 Work-In-Progress nature and Under Rebrand official notice

This entire Concept Initiative, and all its sub-projects have been envisioned strictly as a work-in-progress.

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 branding identity over the broad and nuanced themes of nutrition.  The entire “rebrand” project lifecycle consists of:

  1. Entire re-writing of the Parent Manuscript.
    Since 2021, almost Paragraph-by-Paragraph basis ~ evolve and add new chapters solely on the objective preposition(s) for readers at navigating and depending on their agencies – initiate / undergo adapting or adopting these alternative principles for resilience and/or troubleshooting.
  2. Entire overhauling its entire branding.
    Since 2021, a visual thorough rebrand and reaudit of Nutritional Humility™, particularly of its intent, outcomes and aspirations. 
  3. The entire overhauling of its website.
    Since 2021, simultaneous to self-upskilling initiative of This Author (AW) ~ invest rigorous experiences amidst multiple front-end building platforms including further manual content-writing all from the ground-up.
  4. Overhauling of its video content
    Since 2021, amounting dozens if not hundred(s) of pending hours amidst recording takes and projects within Final Cut Pro X is soon to materialise. 

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®. 

3/9 Vision, Mission and Aims.

“Scientific Frugality, Authenticity, Individuality and Resilience.” 

  • A factual, on-going life account of nutritional frugality and self-improvement under structural theme of inaccessibility.
  • An Advocate channel for self-journalism through self-education (or “Autodidactism“).
  • A Purveyor of insights from current Scientific literatures to help infer, potentially where applicable ~ practical alleviations for human optimisation and resilience.  

Since its rough inception(s) in 2013 as a first (one-off printed copy), to 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 are provided as respectfully possible. Both “for’ and “contrarian” views are presented in their most even manner possible.

4/9 What separates this Initiative away from saturation?

It is much easier disclosing what this Concept Initiative do NOT preach. Chiefly – common signalling(s) and/or narratives as follows:

  1. “Everything in moderation”.
  2. “Just eat ‘healthy'”.
  3. “Just eat a ‘balanced’ diet”.

Objectively, this Initiatives informs and shares, as suggestive though not prescriptive “Cyclical Ketogenic + Intermittent Fasting” as way-of-eating (“WOE” for short).  Subjectively, however the Initiative does not proclaim anything as clairvoyance, and hence – putting the onus of indemnity and responsibility squarely – onto readers’ own ends.

Whilst this Initiative’s Vision and/or Mission shares likely among its peers; its own Philosophic remark(s) and/or concepts intends to distinguish as acronym(s) below:

  • Fair. Frugality. Authenticity. Individuality. Resilience.
  • Pair. Privacy. Agency. Identity. Resolve. 
  • Self. Sentience. Exposition. Liberty. Fortitude.
  • Mine. Minimalism. Interpretation. Nutrition. Embodiment.

Then, there are end “call-to-actions” to compel both closure that embodies all the above, as follows

5/9 Questions Meet Answers Format.

The Book / Parent Manuscript was not envisioned as a long “thesis”. Instead, it is delivered in a Questions-Meet-Answers format. This allows a more conversational tone amidst readers’ angst and/or shoes. All without the overly encumbering formalities of accountancy disclosures of other figure(s), identities, and/or prolonged dissertation-like length that majority of its peers in Self-Improvement and Nutrition Science often resort/overlap. 

6/9 “Live-It-Forward” Gratuity Model.

For many years since its inception (circa. 2015) this Initiative does not expect arithmetic “Likes” as gratitude. Such token is optional but ultimately not required. Likewise  its Youtube® Channel does not asks its viewers to “follow”, “like”,  or “hit the subscribe button”.

Should anything this Initiative compel within visitors a thought (or two), then they are encouraged to express authentically ~ through sincere commenting and/or writing.

As such, they become active participants of “Live-it-forward” gratuity. Where the sharing and advocating of holistic biological and sociological experiences reciprocates as benevolent exchanges.

Instrumental thanksgiving of “Pay-It-Forward” meanwhile as “Likes” counter – is highly discounting on the recipient onto reciprocal spreading of that instrument, rather than anything meaningful from an organic interactivity level. As well – due to its instrumental sake on arithmetics “Likes” counter – remain prone to inflationary reception.

7/9 Other topics and subjects in parallel

Nutritional Humility™ concerns beyond topics of Nutrition. It is a contemplative space of its author (Andrew Wiguna) upon other nuance(s). 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  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.

8/9 Transparent revision notices.

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. 

8/9 MeWe® Social Media Channel.

As of 2023 a previously established and transition social media channel Mewe® – has decidedly called, at This Author (AW’s) discretion to no longer be operational.  Due to failure from obtaining adequate statistical outreach and/or prevalence against its relative peer(s) and/or channels ~ This Author (AW) no longer believes such to be a maintain-able platform. All prior year(s) of social media posts, as well as viral posts, imagery(s) however still remains available to be downloadable upon direct request.

9/9 Third party and AI / Automation / generative tools disclosure

Since this initiative’s beginnings in 2015 (Humility Through Frugality and Nutritional Humility), absolutely nothing of the sort of third party support, be it proof readers, marketers, content writers have been resorted.

Likewise – the use of AI or automation / generative tools including text to prompt LLM’s or language learning models ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, copilot to name a few. These have NOT been relied upon throughout the main books’ writing(s) AS WELL AS the current re-writing in progress.

ALL video editing(s) and recordings featuring appearances of This Author (AW) – also have NOT been relied on third party automations be it gap editing assistance, or “summarizer” or the like.  AI-generated videos and/or artworks likewise, have NOT been relied on, other than the freely available photography and/or videography resources under Creative Commons.

However, there are only two (2) realms or contexts where by assistive tools are needed.

  1. In the context of research and nuance(s) for surface subject-matter acquaintance. And;
  2. Only in very specific concept IP / intellectual property sub-project involving significantly beyond and outside of This Author’s (AW) own credentials.

The latter will be thoroughly explained in their intention, application and implication(s) throughout their own feature article writings.

Thank you.

Your viewership and written thoughts on this Initiative are appreciated. 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.

AW.
