Much of the outdated advice we’ve spent decades pushing back against is finally gone. The era of high-carb, low-fat, ultra-processed food guidance appears to be ending, replaced by a refreshingly simple message: eat real food. We couldn’t be happier. For years at Chief, we’ve challenged nutrition dogma that encouraged refined carbohydrates, seed oils, and low-fat products loaded with sugar and additives. Seeing the U.S. government now acknowledge many of those concerns feels like a major turning point — and a win for common sense and modern nutrition science.

Saint Haven is all about combining ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to help you become fitter and str...
