Even in the summer, a comfy bowl of soup is exactly what I’m looking for. And it’s a great way to get collagen-rich bone broth into my diet.
This is a fantastic gastric feed recipe. Once the ingredients are cooked, throw this in a high-powered blender and feed. 🙂
The best part, it only takes 20 minutes!
Check out the recipe below:
Feed a Brain Soup!
Protein: bone broth and grass-fed ground beef
Fat: tallow and olive oil
Phyto: Fennel, cabbage, zucchini
Ferments: Kimchi

🔪Slice zucchini, fennel, and cabbage into medium-thickness slices.

Pasture-raised eggs are an incredible source of brain nutrients, containing 3.5 times the amount of vitamin E, 4 times Vitamin D, 1.5 times the Vitamin A, 8 times beta-Carotene, and 3 times the Omega 3’s of conventional eggs.
Think about it; one egg is an entire life form in a convenient container.
So I purchase eggs laid by chickens that spend their lives on a pasture, foraging for their food, spending time in the sunshine, and being able to spread their wings.
Healthy, happy chickens lead to nutrient-rich eggs for our brains and bodies.
Make this simple breakfast plate using the recipe below:
Protein: Pasture-Raised eggs
Fat: Grass-fed beef fat (tallow), avocado
Phyto: Yellow squash, jalapeno, green onion, radicchio
Ferments: sauerkraut
🔪Chop vegetables. Melt tallow in a pan; add squash, jalapeno, and white parts of the onion. Saute to the desired doneness. Add to a plate.
🥚Whisk eggs with some melted fat in a bowl. Add eggs to a hot pan and cook; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add eggs to the plate with vegetables.
🥑Slice avocado.
🍽️Garnish with radicchio, green parts of onions, sauerkraut, and avocado.

Quick and simple is my goal when I am in the kitchen. Which is why I developed the Feed a Brain Bowl. A simple template you can follow to make a gut-nourishing, brain-healing meal fast.
To make a Feed a Brain bowl, you only need a handful of greens, high-quality protein, fat, a rainbow of vegetables (phytonutrients), and some ferments: Protein, fat, phyto, ferments!
Here`s how to make the bowl shown here:
Protein: Tuna
Fat: Olive Oil
Phyto: Arugula, golden beet, fennel, and lime
Ferments: Kimchi
🍳Sear the tuna in a pan with beef fat or avocado oil.
🔪Thinly slice golden beet and fennel. Squeeze a lime over the top to make a simple slaw.
🥬Place arugula in the bottom of a bowl. Add tuna, slaw, and ferment of your choice.
🫒 Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

🥳Happy World Chocolate Day!
🍫I couldn`t resist posting about my favorite gut-brain-boosting food, dark chocolate!
👩🔬I recently came across a randomized controlled trial that studied the impact of chocolate consumption on mood and gut microbiome diversity.
Study participants who ate 30 grams of 85% dark chocolate daily for three weeks experienced a decrease in negative emotions and an increase in the diversity of gut microbes. Participants who ate 70% dark chocolate or no chocolate at all (the control group) did not experience the same decrease in negative mental states as those who ate 85% dark chocolate.
The researchers compared the microbiome of study participants in the control group (the no chocolate group) with the microbiome of the participants who ate 85% dark chocolate. They found an increase in the number of butyrate-producing species of microbes in the chocolate group.
🦠Butyrate is a compound produced primarily by microbes in the colon and has a wide-ranging impact on neurology. Butyrate is involved in epigenetic expression, neurotransmitter regulation, neuroprotection, and anti-inflammatory action, and can be used by neurons as an energy source.
🧠So what`s this mean for your brain and its health?
Eating dark chocolate, anything 85% or higher, on a daily basis isn`t just a tasty treat, it`s a great way to nourish the gut and the brain for optimal function and health!

So I started making a morning electrolytes beverage to have instead of powdered electrolytes and even my dog is curious. 😂
The beverage is hot water with the juice of half a lemon (or a whole lime) and a tsp of @redmondrealsalt (or Himalayan sea salt) and it’s awesome!
Enjoy!🧂 🍋

Eating onions has been shown to have a positive effect on brain health.1 Studies have shown that the consumption of onions can help when the brain is damaged by a stroke or a clot.2 Additionally, selenium, a trace element found in onions, is essential for maintaining good health of brain cells and preventing seizures and epilepsy..
The healthiest thing we can do for our brain is to enjoy our life and to do so sustainably.

Cauliflower is an extremely healthy vegetable that’s a significant source of nutrients.Cauliflower is a great source of choline, a B vitamin known for its role in brain development. it has been shown to boost cognitive function, and improve learning and memory. It may even diminish age-related memory decline! Scallions protect the brain cells against inflammation and prevent the onset of various neurodegenerative diseases. They suppress inflammatory compounds and promote overall good health of the brain cells. Inflammation of brain can cause confusion, depression, difficulty in thinking and remembering.
