Stop Cooking With Olive Oil: Why I Threw Out My “Healthy” Oils (And You Should Too)

I used to be that person. You know the one—proudly displaying my $35 bottle of extra virgin olive oil on the counter like it was liquid gold. I’d pour it generously into my pan every morning, convinced I was doing something incredibly healthy for my body. Avocado oil for high-heat cooking? Check. Olive oil for…
Why “Heart-Healthy” Oils Didn’t Exist Before 1900

(And Why Your Grandfather’s Lard Was Never the Problem) Your ancestors cooked with animal fats—tallow, lard, butter, ghee. They never cracked open a bottle of canola oil. That’s because canola, soybean, and corn oil didn’t exist as food. The “heart-healthy” vegetable oil narrative? Pure 20th-century marketing. Industrial byproducts rebranded as wellness foods. Let’s break down…
Are Eggs Healthy?

For a food humans have eaten for thousands of years, eggs carry a surprising amount of fear. People worry about cholesterol.They throw away the yolk.They order egg whites as if it’s the “healthier” choice. And yet, eggs remain one of the most nutrient-dense, biologically complete foods available. So how did something so simple become so…
Why Liver Is King

Liver was never just another food. For most of human history, it was the prize. Hunters did not toss it aside or save it for later. In many cultures, it was eaten first, sometimes immediately after a kill. That pattern shows up again and again across continents. This was not tradition for tradition’s sake. We…

The Modern Testosterone Collapse

Testosterone is often talked about like a gym hormone. Something for athletes or men chasing muscle. We believe that view misses the bigger picture. Testosterone is a core signal tied to energy, drive, mood, bone strength, brain function, and overall vitality in both men and women. And it is declining. Not just a little. Not…
Creatine Beyond the Gym: Brain Energy, Mental Fatigue & Cognitive Research

Most people take creatine to help their muscles during exercise. That is the main reason. But studies from the last 15 years show creatine does more than help muscles. It also helps the brain make energy and think clearly when things get hard. We believe this is why many people take it every day now,…
Grass-Fed vs Grain-Fed

Buy a steak from the grocery store. It is bright red, marbled, and uniform. Now buy one from a grass-fed ranch. It is darker and leaner, with a different fat pattern. Cook both. The grass-fed one tastes cleaner, more mineral-rich, and less sweet. Many people notice this immediately. We believe the difference is not small.…
