New Years brunch was absolutely phenomenal! Duck confit hash, with poached egg, and Brussels sprout slaw. We had a roasted lion’s mane mushroom steak with it and I seriously had a few moments where I was speechless! #paleo #feedabrain #comfortfood #paleocomfortfood #feedabrain

It’s amazing how a large portion of my recovery has been accomplished through focused attention on visual and vestibular pathways.
.
It is widely said that the eyes are the window to the soul, but our eyes are LITERALLY the window to our brains! 👁 🧠
.
You see, our brains have 12 superhighways that send signals to and from the brain.
.
These superhighways are are called cranial nerves and, while 6 of them affect our visual system, 4 of them are DEDICATED to vison!
.
This means that ONE THIRD of the superhighways that send signals to and from the brain ARE DEDICATED TO less than 1% of our body’s physical realistate: OUR EYES!
.
Our eyes are not only a literal window to the brain, but they are also a therapeutic window to the brain where we can effect neuroplastic change! 👁 🧠

OMFG! I hope you’re not too squeamish. Allison (@alliwo, @flabstofitness) went hunting over the weekend and she brought me a deer brain today! Don’t worry… I do not plan on eating it. Although brains are great brain food (#feedabrain) there’s an outbreak of prions right now. 🧠 😳 😱

I decided to break my fast with a beautiful meal catered by @bullyranchatx at the @lightpump mastermind yesterday! What an amazing experience that included ice baths, breathing exercises, meditation, sauna therapy, a sound bath, and more! I am so proud of @austinfelton and Adam Hoffman for the powerful experience they have created! #lightpump #fasting #BoneBrothFast #BreakingFast #Value #Keto #PaleoKeto #KetoPaleo #BrainNutrition #BrainFood #FoodForThought #FeedABrain

Happy Halloween! It’s been 115 hours since my last meal and I’ve had nothing but bone broth, electrolytes, and supplements (feedabrain.com/supplementguide).
.
I checked my weight this morning, and I have lost 10lbs using bone broth from @brothmasters as my main form of nutrition! (coupon code FEEDABRAIN)
.
Unfortunately , this is not the longest I’ve gone without solid food cause, while I was in the hospital, I was tube fed for months (not recommended). Including a high quality bone broth bone broth (like @brothmasters) makes it all so much easier and I’m loving the way I feel: clear, organized, energized, excited for Halloween (y’all can eat your candy... I’ll drink my bone broth)! 🎃 👻 👽🤖.
.
Ok... I’m still having crazy chocolate cravings! 😋 🍫 🤤.

The last time I ate anything solid was late Saturday night. Some friends (@alexrmurf and @alliwo) were planning to fast Sunday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon. I just got a shipment of my favorite bone broth (@brothmasters), so I decided to join in with a bone broth fast (have nothing by bone broth).
.
Last night, I checked my glucose and ketones and i was pretty solid. This morning is even better!
.
I’m totally in ketosis (nutritional ketosis is between 0.5 and 3.0 mmol/dL) and...my fasting BS is looking good! (If you go by American Diabetes Association standards, “normal” blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl fasting).
.
Feeling good... and clear... and like I have plenty of energy! And... the only thing I’m really craving at this point is super dark chocolate (like pure 90-100% cacao). 🍫 😂
.
Have you tried fasting at all? What was it like for you? What was your first meal after (your break-fast)?

Almost 48 hours into a bone broth fast and I’m feeling a little hungry, but overall pretty good. A bone broth fast is an excellent way to heal digestion. Think about it... if you’re gonna fix a road, the first thing you want to do is stop traffic from going on that road (not eat food). 🚧 And then you want to bring in construction workers to repair it (bone broth, colostrum, probiotics). 👷‍♀️🔨 Electrolytes are always a good call too because minerals and water our what our body truly needs everyday. 😁

Testimonials

“I am nearly four years out from my traumatic brain injury and I have been through 100’s of hours of rehabilitation therapy. I have been surprised by how little attention is given to adequate nutrition for recovering from TBI. I’m always looking for further opportunities to recover and so this book fell into the right hands. Cavin outlines the science and reasoning behind the diet he suggests, but the real power in this book comes when he writes, “WE.” WE can give our brains proper nutrition. Now I’m excited to drink smoothies and eat breakfasts that look like dinners! I will recommend this book to my friends.

(I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)”
