The Rise of Greens Powders Walk into any health store (or scroll Instagram) and you’ll see them everywhere — bright green powders promising energy, detox, and “all the nutrients you need in one scoop.” Brands like Athletic Greens (AG1) and others have made plant-based powders one of the fastest-growing supplement categories. But here’s the question: are greens powders really the “ultimate superfood”? Or are they just clever marketing? The truth: while greens powders can provide some plant-based antioxidants and fiber, they don’t deliver the essential vitamins, minerals, and co-factors your body actually craves.

The Gut–Autoimmune Connection Modern research makes one thing clear: most autoimmune diseases begin in the gut. Whether it’s Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the common thread is often gut permeability (aka “leaky gut”) and impaired digestion. When the gut lining is compromised, undigested proteins, toxins, and microbes slip through into the bloodstream, triggering an immune system on overdrive. The result? Chronic inflammation, flare-ups, and symptoms that feel impossible to control. That’s why healing the gut is a cornerstone of autoimmune support.

Low energy, brain fog, tingling hands or feet, even mood swings — these are all red flags of a B12 deficiency. Since B12 is essential for red blood cell production, oxygen delivery, and healthy nerves, it’s no surprise that millions of people reach for supplements when their doctor flags low levels. But here’s the catch: not all B12 is created equal. The Problem with Synthetic B12 Pills Most B12 supplements on the market are made with synthetic forms...

The Bovine Stomach—commonly referred to as tripe—is a nutrient-rich organ meat that has been consumed in traditional diets worldwide. Cattle have four stomach chambers (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), each with slightly different textures and nutritional characteristics, but they all offer similar functional benefits. Here’s a full breakdown of the nutritional content and health benefits of consuming bovine stomach.  Keeping in mind that this macronutrient estimate is based on booked beef tripe (usually from rumen) – with raw/freeze-dried varieties typically exhibiting higher amounts… Macronutrients (educated estimate, per 100g) Calories: ~85-100 kcal Protein: 12-14 g Fat: 3-4 g Carbohydrates: 0 g...
