A deep orange yolk might look like it came from a happy pasture raised hen…but the same color can be achieved in fully confined systems with the right feed additives - marigold, turmeric, paprika, etc. 🤯 Mind blown? Read the full post: https://t.co/c5DaKSEnoE

Why are 'health influencers' scared of cortisol spikes in the morning? High morning cortisol shuts down production the rest of the day leading to lower evening cortisol levels.

Some will praise this as the ultimate success in cleaning up our food supply. Others will ridicule it as pointless. The reality is somewhere in the middle. It's hard to argue that this is both an improvement AND also still highly processes & nutrient-poor.

PepsiCo is removing artificial dyes from Cheetos and Doritos. The new "Simply NKD" versions hit stores December 1st.

Turns out chips don’t need Red 40, after all. Who could’ve guessed?

There is a place for medicine, but rarely is medicine alone the best option. Nutrition is always important in long-term health.

[Chris Boettcher @chrisboettcher9]

A friend told me recently that his wife whose an MD at a major local hospital is seriously considering leaving medicine.

Not because she stopped caring about patients or long hours but because of the pressure from above.

In her system, every diagnosis comes with the expectation of prescribing the drug that matches the code.

If she doesn’t? She gets questioned. Evaluated. Sometimes even financially penalized through performance metrics tied to “quality measures." This sounds noble but really just means “Did you give the patient the medication the system expects?”

He said she's been dealing with it for a while and it seems to get worse every year.

She didn’t go into medicine to be a cog in a pharmaceutical machine. She went in to actually help people.

But the hospital’s incentives don’t reward lifestyle coaching, nutrition conversations, movement prescriptions, or digging into root causes.

There’s no bonus for helping a patient reverse insulin resistance.

But there's plenty tied to metrics on prescribing statins, GLP-1s, antihypertensives, SSRIs, and anything else that fits neatly into a billing code.

And the saddest part? This isn’t rare.

Between pay-for-performance systems, pharma influence, and hospital revenue structures tied to drug utilization, the entire system nudges doctors away from thinking and toward prescribing.

Many MDs feel trapped: If they want to practice slow, thoughtful medicine there’s no time. Or if they want to focus on root causes there’s no billing code.

If they want to avoid unnecessary meds they risk being flagged for “not meeting standards.” So many of the good doctors are quietly slipping away.

And we wonder why chronic disease keeps rising.

A system that incentivizes prescriptions will always produce more prescriptions.

A system that rewards dependency will always create more dependent patients.

And a system that punishes critical thinkers will eventually lose all of them.

My friend’s wife isn’t leaving medicine. She’s being pushed out of it.

And until we fix the incentives, she won’t be the last.

Conventional athletic nutrition wisdom says you need to carb-load for muscle glycogen in order to perform. I've started to be more intentional in N=1 experimentation to trial newer research coming out, including publications from @AKoutnik.

@thomas_garrard You may have developed Leaky Gut - and the proteins in wheat are escaping straight into the bloodstream igniting an immune response. Fix the leaky gut and organic wheat may be perfectly alright again.

Organic juice is just Kool-Aid marketed to adults with better packaging. #puresugar #sugarhigh #juicy

The bloodstream can only safely handle * 4g (1 tsp) * of sugar a one time, but most foods at the grocery store far surpass that. This sets you up for hunger, cravings, and low energy levels. #hienergylife #nutritioneducation #bloodsugar #hiddensugar

Perdue is clearly trying to invoke idyllic "boho" vibes in their sun kissed video banner...What we see are scrappy & unhappy birds, but at least it's real footage & not stock...Organic doesn't automatically equate to top notch quality! #organicisntalwaysbetter #knowyourfarmer
