One thing I noticed while in Italy: even while eating tons of complex carbs and wine I felt great. It is crazy feeling the difference on a day to day basis while over there versus here. If I were to eat the same meals here I would feel disgusting and lethargic. But the ingredients in the EU are extremely regulated. They don't really use emulsifiers, gums, dyes, processed sugars, seed oils, random chemicals that are found in household cleaning supplies. Most of the bread I ate was made in house with three ingredients and some EVOO. The same goes for the pasta. When you eat food that God designed for humans the results are amazing! Now that I'm here, I have to triple-check the ingredients and research the brands that are stocked on grocery store shelves just to make sure they aren't cutting their shit with wack dyes or oils.

Since I didn’t do a share yo plate Wednesday, I’ll share today. Def not animal based but the ingredients in 🇮🇹 are so much cleaner than 🇺🇸… even the wine tastes better lol…

I will be on vacation in Italy!

A hidden poison that is sprayed on so many things we eat: Glyphosate. What is Glyphosate? Glyphosate is a herbicide (think Round-up) that is likely hiding in plain sight in your cupboard. Herbicides like glyphosate have been linked to cancer in the IARC's 2015 study on glyphosate and may also be linked to kidney disease, reproductive/developmental effects & endocrine disruption. The runoff may also seep into our drinking water and may further disrupt wildlife and the aquatic ecosystem. If you live in America -- I have some more bad news. Americans are said to eat 500% more Glyphosate than other developed nations. It is sprayed on the following crops: - wheat - corn - soy - canola (rapeseed) - oats - barley - grapes (sprayed in-between rows in vineyards) Which in turn means processed products using the above are also affected. Such as: - wine - beer - cereal - canola oil - and more What can you do to protect yourself from glyphosate? - buy organic OR - eat an animal-based diet that cuts out complex carbs

Hey everyone. I'm here for community and a common goal of becoming a healthier man. In December of 2020 I checked myself into rehab after a 13 year meth addiction. My physical health has been up and down, but I'm tightening the hatches. I'm a musician and my current life project and purpose is building community through musical exploration. In my 9 to 5 I manage a program for people in recovery from opiates, these days it's mostly fent and 7OH. In December I will be 6 years clean from the shit and am grateful for the things I have and the opportunities I have been given. Straight up if you are in the midst of addiction and are in and out of "is this all my life is ever gonna be?". I am always available.
