No surprise here. But ultraprocessed food is not going away.
Can it be made healthy? Yes, if you adhere to three principles: protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain.
UPF manufacturers need to do 4 things:
1. Cut the sugar.
2. Add fiber.
3. Add omega-3’s.
4. Cut the emulsifiers.

If you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes today, what would you do first?

Here’s the reality—diabetes isn’t just about high blood sugar. It’s about insulin resistance. And the quickest way to tackle that? Cut the carbs.

I’d drop carbs to 30g or less per day. No processed junk. Just real food—protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Science backs it. Blood sugar drops. Insulin sensitivity improves. Medications get reduced (or ditched altogether).

But here’s the real question—why aren’t we told this from the start?

Fatty fish and shellfish aren’t just good—they’re some of the most nutrient-packed foods you can eat.

Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout provide brain-boosting omega-3s and keep blood sugar stable. Shellfish like shrimp, oysters, clams, and crab deliver essential minerals like zinc and iodine that support metabolism and immune health.

Yet, seafood is often overlooked. Are you getting enough? What’s your favorite way to eat it?
