The Meat Dilemma – But what about the animals?!

When I was 15 someone told me that someone they knew lived near a slaughterhouse and a pig farm. The slaughterhouse would come pick up the pigs every 2 weeks. Apparently, the pigs would start screaming the night before, because they knew they were going somewhere bad. Now that story is probably completely false, but …

The Diet – Updated March 2018

Jordan Peterson’s Diet (extremely low carb): Meats: turkey beef chicken lamb duck wild game is fine too, elk, moose, etc. wild salmon tuna – check the ingredients! Get stuff that’s just tuna and water and perhaps salt. organ meat – chicken liver tastes the best I find wild herring – check the ingredients! wild sardines – check …

How to Save Your Teeth

Bleeding gums, tender gums, discoloured teeth, mouth ulcers and bad breath are all signs of food intolerances. If you have bad teeth, chances are you’re eating foods that don’t agree with you, it’s not just “bad genetics”.

Zero Carb/Carnivore Diet – update 2 months in

Hey everyone, I tried reintroducing olives. I was pretty skeptical about the zero carb thing. I thought maybe the reason it was working for people was because they ended up cutting out all the problematic foods at once – wheat, dairy, soy, sugar, preservatives, everything. But maybe they were also eliminating the beneficial foods. Anyway, …

Zero Carb/Carnivore Diet Update

It’s going extremely well. No cravings, arthritis has almost disappeared, mood seems to have improved (it’s been hard to tell with the milk reaction). I will update again in 2 weeks and I’ll know more. About a week after I started the zero carb diet (all meat), I decided it was stupid and had a …

Probiotics with NOTHING Added

I finally found some probiotics with no additives. A powder. And alas, it’s only available in the States. I have to wait for my parents to go there and bring it back 🙁 I’m going to add probiotics to my daughter’s food when she starts eating solid food. Have to get that microbiome healthier ASAP.  …
