Gym Trainers and Clients... we need a serious reality check! 🛑
It boils my blood as a Clinical Dietitian to see patients come into my clinic with ruined gut microbiomes, severe IBS, and chronic bloating just because a gym trainer copy-pasted a generic “high-protein” diet plan on them without understanding their digestion.
To the Trainers:
If nutrition and clinical biology are not your subject expertise, admit it! Even as clinical dietitians, we defer to doctors when a patient has a specific medical disease. But somehow, trainers want to be the coach, the dietitian, the supplement store, and the doctor all at once. Stop prescribing heavy Whey Protein and forcing your vegetarian clients to eat chicken when their inflamed intestines can’t even digest a basic meal.
To the Clients:
Stop expecting the person who teaches you bicep curls to clinically design your metabolic diet. You want a free diet chart from your trainer to save some money (“2 paise bach jayenge”), but you will eventually spend double that amount on Gastroenterologists and stomach medicines when your gut completely gives up.
Stop playing guessing games with your internal organs. If you have acidity, bloating, or digestion issues, fix your gut BEFORE you try to build muscle!
