Are you ready to improve your health?

Everyone’s so quick to call low-carb a “fad diet.” But we have only been eating high-carb meals three times a day with snacks for the last few decades. For most of human history, we spent more hours in ketosis than out of it. It was normal to go hours (or days) without eating. Normal to burn fat for fuel. Normal to go to sleep without a glucose spike. So if we’re being honest, the real fad is the one that made constant eating and carb dependency the default.

Why do some people see it while others don’t? It isn’t intelligence. It isn’t education. It isn’t being “awake” or “asleep.” It’s simply that some of us don’t need the story to feel safe. Some of us don’t buy the fantasy. We don’t need the myth to soothe us. We don’t need someone else to tell us what’s real or what to believe. We trust what we can see with our own eyes. We trust our own body. We trust the quiet, grounded truth that doesn’t need to be sold or performed. And once we see the difference between a story and reality, we can’t unsee it. And that’s why we see it clearly. Others will get there in their own time. Some will feel embarrassed. Some will cling harder because letting go feels like everything will fall apart. Some will pretend they always knew. It’s alright. Everyone arrives when they’re ready.

Let’s clear up some myths… Some people think that we should all live on plants or even worse just fruit. I get that colourful salad bowls and smoothies look pretty on Instagram but it is not what the body actually needs • Vitamin B12 is made by microbes not plants. Reliable sources are meat, liver, fish, eggs and dairy. • Vitamin A in animal foods is preformed retinol. It comes from liver, egg yolks and oily fish. Carrots supply beta carotene which must be converted to retinol and conversion is often poor. • Haem iron comes from meat, fish and poultry and is absorbed directly by the gut so it raises iron status predictably. Non haem iron from plants is inhibited by phytates and polyphenols and needs help to absorb. • EPA and DHA are long chain omega 3 fats concentrated in oily fish and animal fats. Plants supply ALA which the body must convert inefficiently. • Meat, fish, eggs and dairy provide complete protein and all essential amino acids in a single meal. • Creatine and taurine are largely found in animal foods and important for brain and muscle energy. • Collagen and glycine are found in connective tissue and bone broth and supply repair building blocks that are scarce in plant foods. • Zinc and selenium are more bioavailable from animal sources and easier for the body to use. • Vitamin K2, iodine, choline and vitamin D are either scarce or less reliable from plants and are easily covered with regular animal foods. Plants also contain phytates, oxalates, lectins and some polyphenols which reduce mineral and protein absorption. Traditional cooking and processing reduce these factors but do not remove the issue entirely. Plants are optional extras not essential nutrients. Share this if you think others should stop confusing style with substance.

Isn’t it about time they banned fireworks outside of organised displays? The random ones in the street just scare pets, wildlife, babies, and anyone who already feels on edge. If people want fireworks, why can’t they can go to a proper display where it’s expected? Not on every street in the neighbourhood. It’s just unnecessary.

Does anyone else love the chicken skin more than the meat? The skin is mostly two things the body actually uses a lot of: Glycine, which helps the gut lining feel supported. Natural fats, which help you feel satisfied after eating, not looking around for more food straight after. It tastes good, it’s easy to digest, and it helps the meal feel complete. Foe me simple food is the best food. 👌🏻
