    Are Nonstick Pans Toxic? The Ugly Truth and What to Use Instead

    The Problem With Nonstick Pans Nonstick pans are everywhere because they’re easy. Toss some eggs in, slide them out, wipe, done. But here’s the truth nobody likes to talk about: nonstick is built on chemicals your body doesn’t want. Most are coated with PTFE (aka Teflon) or a cousin in the same family of “forever…

    Cortisol Chaos: How Stress Hijacks Your Hormones

    Stress: More Than a Feeling We like to think stress is just “mental.” A rough day, a fight with your partner, traffic that makes you late. But your body doesn’t know the difference between a tiger chasing you and an email that says “per my last message.” Every stressor flips the same switch — the…

    Colostrum: The Ancient Superfood Backed by Modern Science

    Every year there’s a new “superfood” trending. Kale. Kombucha. Collagen. Half the time it’s hype. But some things aren’t trends — they’re primal. They’re written into our biology. Colostrum is one of those. This isn’t some lab-made powder dreamed up by a marketing team. It’s the very first fuel mammals produce after birth. That thick,…

  • The Cast Iron Skillet: The Only Pan You’ll Ever Need

    The Cast Iron Skillet: The Only Pan You’ll Ever Need

    When you care about real food, what you cook it in matters. You can buy grass-fed steak, raw milk, and organic fruit, but if you throw it all into some flimsy non-stick pan with chemicals baked into the coating, you’re cutting corners. Cast iron is the opposite of that. It’s solid, simple, and it’ll outlast…

    Honey: Nature’s Sweetener with Surprising Benefits

    Once I started paying closer attention to what food really does in the body, I realized not all sugar is the same. Refined sugar and corn syrup? Empty calories that mess with your energy and leave you feeling worse. Honey is different. It’s one of the few sweet things nature gives us in its whole…

  • Magnesium: The Forgotten Mineral Your Body Runs On

    Magnesium: The Forgotten Mineral Your Body Runs On

    Magnesium used to be everywhere. It flowed in the rivers, soaked into the soil, and showed up in the food our ancestors lived on. Nobody thought about “supplements” because they didn’t have to — their world was mineral-rich by default. Fast forward to today, and that whole chain is broken. The result? Most people are…

  • Sunscreen: The Big Lie About Sun and Skin Health

    Sunscreen: The Big Lie About Sun and Skin Health

    We’ve been told a simple story for decades: the sun causes skin cancer, sunscreen prevents it. But like most nutrition and health advice, the truth is a lot more complicated — and a lot more inconvenient for the sunscreen industry. The real danger isn’t the sun. It’s what’s happening inside your body when you step…

  • Coffee: Brain Fuel, Polyphenols, and What to Look For

    Coffee: Brain Fuel, Polyphenols, and What to Look For

    Coffee isn’t just some morning ritual to drag yourself out of bed. It’s the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world, and when you use it the right way it’s a legit tool for health. The problem is that most people are drinking low-quality coffee that’s filled with junk or roasted so badly it’s doing…

    Toxins in 2025: Microplastics, Forever Chemicals, and Heavy Metals

    Here’s the truth. You can eat the cleanest grass-fed steak and wild salmon every day, but if your body is weighed down with toxins from the modern world, you’re still fighting uphill. The world in 2025 is not the world our ancestors lived in. They didn’t have plastic in their blood or “forever chemicals” in…

    Paleo Diet Food List for Beginners (2025): What to Eat and Avoid

    When I first came across Paleo, I didn’t see it as some diet trend. What stood out to me was that it’s really just going back to how humans are supposed to eat. We aren’t designed for boxes of processed food or bottles of seed oils. Our biology was shaped by real food, by nature,…
