LETS BAKE:

🍪 MCT Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: about 12–15 cookies
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 10–12 minutes
Ingredients
• 1/3 cup MCT oil (liquid)
• 1/3 cup Honey or Coconut Sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or sugar-free)
• (Optional) 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together MCT oil, Honey or Coconut Sugar until smooth.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
o Note: The dough will be slightly oily—this is normal since MCT oil stays liquid.
6. Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
7. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops onto your prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips
• For a keto-friendly version, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and a sugar substitute like monk fruit or erythritol.
• MCT oil adds moisture, so don’t overbake — they firm up as they cool.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

💡 Fun Fact: Your stomach gets a new lining every 3 to 4 days so it doesn’t digest itself!

The acid in your stomach is so strong—it can dissolve metal—so if the same tissue stayed there for long, it would literally start eating away at itself. To protect you, your body constantly regenerates the stomach’s mucous lining, giving it a kind of “fresh paint job” every few days.

BUT — you can support this natural process by taking care of your digestive system. Here’s how:

🥦 1. Eat a balanced diet

Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Foods rich in vitamins A, C, and zinc help repair tissues and promote healthy cell turnover.

💧 2. Stay hydrated

Water helps maintain the mucus layer that protects your stomach from acid.

☕ 3. Limit irritants

Too much alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, or fried food can damage the stomach lining or increase acid production.

🚭 4. Avoid smoking

Smoking slows healing and weakens the protective mucus layer.

😌 5. Manage stress

High stress can increase acid production and slow down the stomach’s ability to renew its lining.

It’s like your stomach gets regular maintenance to keep it from turning into its own snack! 😄
