Did you know?

Every “marinade” is just a combination of herbs & spices. You don’t need store bought garbage. You can make it at home — it’s healthier too.

Almost every marinade and sauce you see in the wild is TRASH. Why?

They’re pieced together with the WORST quality ingredients

Think pomace olive oil (picked from the floor), soy lecithin & even thickening agents that disrupt your gut microbiome

You don’t need 197 different spices in your home either. Especially if you’re living alone, or with a roommate or two.

Here are my essentials that form a good base for a variety of flavors:

Essentials:
• Garlic Powder
• Smoked Paprika / Harissa
• Coconut Aminos (Soy Sauce Alternative)
• Dijon Mustard
• Dried Herbs (Oregano, Cumin, Parsley, etc)
• Fresh Herbs (Rosemary, Chives, Basil, etc)

I almost always use a good quality olive oil as a base as well

Side note: Fresh herbs aren’t necessarily “better” than dried. That’s a common misconception. They each have their roles.

You can keep dried herbs in your pantry for longer (months), and they’re generally more potent so you need less of them.

Fresh herbs only last a few days to a week, but they offer a freshness & aroma you can’t beat. Just drop a packet of rosemary & chives in your basket or better still start growing your own if you can. That’s renewable organic pesticide free herbs at no cost at all!

• Garlic Powder

Garam Masala:
• Black Pepper
• Cardamom
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Clove
• Cumin
• Mustard Seeds

Chinese Five Spice:

I would usually buy the constituents (cayenne, garlic powder, etc), but if you can get a good quality mix that has no fillers, go for it. I personally get bottles of Cajun from Simply Organics (it’s in glass bottles).

What else would you add?

Man created fire. With fire, came charcoal.

But why did he only harness the powers of charcoal a MILLION years later?

How did charcoal go from fuel in Ancient Egypt to a detox pill today?

This is the Story of Charcoal: The Most Underappreciated Substance in World History Image
Do you even know what charcoal is?

It's essentially the "essence" of every burnable material. When you burn wood (without any air), you're removing everything but the carbon.

This concentrated carbon is CHARCOAL ⚫️
It burns hotter and longer than wood, and is why it's optimal for a barbecue

Think of it as the espresso of wood. Packs more of a punch, in less volume.

Everyone loves to overcomplicate bone broth

But when you think about it… broth is just a mixture of

1. Bones
2. Water
3. Heat

It’s REALLY easy to make. Let me show you how 👇

Before that, understand that broth isn’t a fad.

How long should you cook it for?

Everyone says you MUST wait 24+ hours, but you really don't. Sure, the longer you wait the more nutritious it becomes but that turns most people off…

They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools 🐝:

1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.

2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️

3. A single… https://t.co/glTiKYURpOtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

7 & 13 don't contradict. Yes, honey is an anti-microbial, but honey isn't sterile. While honey is generally inhospitable for most bacteria / fungi, clostridium botulinum is a type of resistant spore that can sometimes be found in honey. It isn't a problem for healthy adults. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Eggs are the best breakfast food.

And french omelettes are the pinnacle of what you can make with an egg.

Learn how in 3 minutes: https://t.co/iG1oNGgTnYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Years. That’s how long it took for me to go from cooking omelettes on the left, to the ones on the right.

And boy, was the difference night and day. The ones on the left were a pain to eat, and I couldn’t quite understand why they tasted so flat.

Whereas the ones on the right are incredible. Better than most omelettes I could get on takeout — so good I could have it everyday of the week.

And today, I’ll teach you how, without spending years messing around.

THE NEGLECTED ELECTROLYTE: POTASSIUM 🍌

98% of Americans are potassium deficient. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you are too.

But just how bad is a potassium deficiency? Here’s everything you need to know to join that 2%: Image
Sodium isn’t the ONLY electrolyte. That’s a common misconception.

The four main electrolytes are:
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Sodium
• Calcium
They all work hand in hand to maintain optimal metabolic health. When one pillar isn’t there, it’s only a matter of time before everything comes crashing down.

One of the most important electrolyte relationships is the potassium:sodium ratio.
