(AURN News) — Dr. Layne Norton says people do not have to be perfect to improve their health. Norton is a scientist, competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter, nutrition coach and evidence-based fitness expert who has built a major following by challenging misinformation around food, dieting, exercise and weight loss. “I really just try to be a bridge for people between like hardcore scientific evidence and then practical recommendations,” Norton told AURN News. Norton also pushed back on the idea that healthy living requires perfection, expensive food or extreme exercise. “If you’re doing like those things, man, you’re like 95% of the way there,” Norton added.
