  • You are not a Lion

    You are not a Lion

    “We are supposed to eat meat!”

    Lions are the mighty King of the Carnivores.

    Roaringly amazing creatures that stalk and pounce.

    Opportunistic scavengers, if they come across a half eaten wildebeest, it’s “chow time.”

    And they eat everything eyes, bones, bladder, colon and it’s contents 🤢.

    They waste nothing.

    How do they eat all of that?

    They have Uricase enzyme that digests purines from animal protein. (Humans don’t have this enzyme)

    And they also have liver enzymes (like transaminases and urea cycle enzymes) which processes proteins at high and constant rate.

    Lions also have short intestinal tracts so they can pass animal proteins before they start to ferment (becoming carcinogenic).

    Please don’t eat like a lion eat like the human.

  • I’ll have Lipitor with those fries

    I’ll have Lipitor with those fries

    Americans spend $500+ million dollars a year on fast food.

    Addicted to the best food engineering has ever made.

    This tasty addiction has a cost.

    Cholesterol.

    Lipitor is one of the highest grossing prescriptions of all time at $160 billion.

    Doctors have even jokingly suggested adding a Statin to french fries because we eat so much if them.

    That way we can clog and unclog our arteries at the same time, dubbing it the McStatin.

    Our health is in our hands.

    Doctors don’t offer cures but treatment.

    We can literally eat our way to health.

    Start your whole food plant based diet today.

  • How to stay strong under impossible odds

    How to stay strong under impossible odds

    You are what you eat.

    • Mentally and
    • Physically

    In our steak-drenched society, flipping to a plant based diet can feel impossible.

    But what if you could re-enforce your healthy choices with your…feed?!

    Following plant based creators whether it’s for recipes or education. Each scroll on your timeline builds your resilience.

    Update your algorithm: Tik Tok, Instagram, Threads, X.

    Use the feed to stay strong and CHANGE your life!

  • Will you face the Cruciferous Crucible?

    Will you face the Cruciferous Crucible?

    Are you one of the lucky people who get stomach cramps after eating broccoli?

    I am one of the lucky few that cannot eat the following with proper preparation:

    • Broccoli
    • Watercress or
    • Brussel sprouts.

    In addition to vegetables I cannot eat:

    • Watermelon or
    • Cucumbers

    Luckily, there is a trick to enjoying these foods.

    Lemon is the digestion hero you need.

    Squeeze generous amounts of lemon over these foods and enjoy.

  • Stop bad mouthing fruit

    Stop bad mouthing fruit

    Demonizing fruit should be a hate crime.

    Yes, it’s sugar but not the white powder.

    Fruit is part of a system. They are packed with:

    • Fiber
    • Vitamins
    • Antioxidants

    Fruits remove free radicals, aid digestion, and boost your immune system. Snickers could never.

    So if you are:

    Replacing M&Ms with Mangoes?

    Replacing Gummies with Grapes?

    Replacing Skittles with Strawberries?

    Keep going. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

    Any replacement of fake food to real food should be celebrated!! 🎉🎉🎉

  • 3rd Leading Cause of death for Americans is what?!?!

    3rd Leading Cause of death for Americans is what?!?!

    When you get sick you go to the doctor to get medicine.

    1+1 has always equaled 2.

    Doctors are supposed to help you get better but what they are only trained to cut and prescribe.

    But aren’t they supposed to be treating your health.

    The problem is that if you only have a hammer every sickness will be hit.

    Prescriptions and Hospitals are the 3rd leading causes of death in America.

    Now that you understand that.

    Who is in charge of your health?

    You are the doctor now.

  • Why Detox every 2 months when you can do this instead

    Why Detox every 2 months when you can do this instead

    Detoxing has been around since since we had shamans and healers.

    Ever notice they never tell you to eat meat to detox?!

    Fresh fruits and veggies.

    Salad and teas.

    Teas made from lemon and herbs.

    This is usually a big departure from meat-rich diet.

    OR….

    NEVER NEED to detox because the food you eat revitalizes you!.

    You don’t have to detox when you are not putting the bad things in your body.

  • Tofu is the MVP and the 6th Man

    Tofu is the MVP and the 6th Man

    Plant based protein has never been more versatile.

    Breakfast: Eggs, Bacon, Yogurt, Pancakes, Smoothies.

    Lunch: Sliced Tofu, Chikn Tofu, Summer Rolls with Tofu, Tofu Tacos

    Dinner: Brisk-fu, Sloppy Toes, Crispy Tofu Mac n cheese, Tofu Tiki Masala.

    This is the list of foods I made with tofu over the last 2 weeks.

    I keep a pack on hand because you never know when you need a meal with protein.

  • To be successful you need 1 thing…

    You are hooked on the…

    EASY.

    Oven takes too long -> microwave.

    Frying too complex -> air fry.

    Cutting potatoes too cumbersome give me pre-cooked French fries.

    Trying to unearth yourself from the “convenience quick sand” will take continual effort.

    The cure for convenience is Self-Love.

    You need a mantra:

    “I love me more than convenience.”

    Things will get tough and you will want to cut corners.

    Don’t do it.

  • Dishes Dishes Dishes

    Fresh fruit wash and store.

    Cook food and store.

    Pots, pans, spatulas, salad bowls.

    Food processor, blender, spice mixer.

    My dishwasher runs 4 to 5 times a week.

    Not complaining but a dramatic increase from the once or twice a week.

    Be prepared.
