Include these superfoods & supernutrients in your diet to supercharge your health:

#1 LIVER

Beef liver is the most magical and powerful food in the world.

Heralded as sacred throughout history, it is an incredible source of many nutrients most people are deficient in

It makes kale look like green cardboard. critical nutrients for your metabolism

Just 100g amount of liver contains more than 100% of the recommended daily value for various micronutrients and it’s a great source of protei

Loaded with vit a retinol, potassium, vit e, vit k, selenium choline, riboflavin, folate, thiamin and copper.

#2 RAW DAIRY

Dairy products are an incredible source of bioavailable protein, calcium, amino acids, saturated fatty acids and calcium.

They also have something called lactoferrin which can bind excess iron and stimulate the immune system.

Calcium is critical to lowering parathyroid hormone and for dopamine production

There is evidence that milk drinkers are protected against dementia

#3 RIBEYE

Ribeye is way more than bro food.

It's an incredible source of nutrients and b vitamins and a number of bioactive components such as carnitine, taurine, choline, CLA, glutathione, creatine, Coq10 and sat fatty acids.

Grass fed steak is also high in phytonutrients

#4 TAURINE

Taurine is a magical amino acid

- increases testosterone
- reduces oxidative stress
- increases dopamine
- antidepressant
- improves erectile function
- improves fertility
- kills breast cancer
- anti anxiety

steak has `200mg/lb. I supplement with an additional gram

#5 CREATINE

Creatine is criminally underrated. It has been shown to:

- increase cognition
- aid in energy production
- increase muscle mass
- increase dopamine
- fight cancer
- help the gut

One of the miracles of red meat is it is loaded with creatine.

#6 SATURATED FATTY ACIDS

Saturated fat is one of the most villified compounds in the world today, but many of the fatty acids are very beneficial.

In animals, saturated fat incorporation into mitochondria is associated with increased longevity.

Studies show stearic acid reduces visceral fat, improves metabolism, anti tumor effectsincreases testosterone, studies show it may treat parkinsons,

19g daily intake of stearic acid for 4 weeks had a pronounced favorable effect on cardiovascular health in human males.

Palmitic acid, one of the other major fatty componetns of steak, has been shown to boost mitochondrial function, protect against oxidative stress, increase androgens inhibit liver cancer

This study showed "overproduction" of androgens

#7 COLLAGEN

50% of a cows protein is collagen

Here are the benefits:

Hair, skin and nails
Balance methionine
anti tumor
relxaing via gaba
gut health
longevity
liver detox
sleep
anabolic
antiinfalmmatory
protect against glyphosate

#8 Orange juice is magical:

- lowers oxidative stress

- lowers inflammation

- lowers endotoxin

- high in potassium

- naringenin protects the testes

- very anti stress, pro metabolic, pro thyroid

#9 CAFFEINE

- increases dopamine receptors
- speeds up metabolism, burning fat
- associated with longevity
- protects liver from toxins
- boosts androgens
- lowers stress
- improves thyroid health
- protects against cognitive decline
- reduces melanoma risk

- improves cognitive function
- increases endurance
- improves glycogen replenishment

Key with caffeine is to drink it on a full stomach with lots of protein and sugar.

#10 POMEGRANATE JUICE

Been researching pomegranate juice recently and it's quite magical. Studies show that it:

- increases testosterone

- improves muscle growth

- lowers cortisol

- improves mood

- anti cancer

- anti oxidant

- anti inflammatory

#11 HONEY

honey is incredible for you.

Has been shown to lower blood sugar and reverse metabolic syndrome. Chrysin in honey is antibacterial and antiparasitic. Studies show it can raise testosterone and lower oxidative stress.

Should be a staple in your diet.

#12 OYSTERS

amazing source of b12, copper, selenium and zinc. one of the best sources of taurine in the world with 250-765mg of taurine per 100g.

#13 NIACINAMIDE

NAD+ is a cofactor critical for energy production, low in almost every disease. Niacinamide, vitamin b3, helps synthesize it.

You can find niacinamide in many animal foods, but I like to supplement some daily.

Studies also show it can

lowers estrogen
anti anxiety
increases androgen receptors
anti obesity
improves glucose metabolism
improve fertiltiy

I supplement with 100mg+ a day.
