Nikola Tesla's Superhuman Diet

Nikola Tesla was one of the most brilliant minds to ever live. His inventions shaped the modern world, and his mind worked at a speed few could match. But behind all the strange stories about him, there was one part of his life people rarely talk about: his diet.

Tesla believed that food directly affected the sharpness of the mind. He avoided anything rich or heavy, convinced that indulgence slowed the body and clouded the intellect. He ate with the same discipline he brought to his experiments.

Tesla wrote often about how overeating poisoned the body. He believed people consumed too many acidic foods, beans, and heavy meats. His solution was simple. Two meals a day. Lots of vegetables. Lean proteins used sparingly. Pure, efficient fuel for the engine of the mind.

Tesla began his mornings with boiled or lightly scrambled egg whites and a glass of milk. Sometimes he added fruit. He avoided sugar, caffeine, grease, and anything that burdened digestion. His goal was to start the day light, clean, and focused.

He often skipped lunch entirely. Dinner was a warm, simple meal of celery broth or vegetable soup, sometimes paired with potatoes or a small portion of chicken or fish. No sauces, no richness. Just nourishment that did not steal energy from the brain he relied on.

Tesla allowed himself one indulgence. An apple. That was as sweet as he needed. For him, fruit was natural fuel, simple and clean.

For breakfast, I had boiled egg whites with blueberries and milk. For dinner, a poached chicken breast with celery broth and a potato. Dessert was a crisp apple. Nothing fancy, but I understand why Tesla liked it. You feel light and clear, almost sharper than usual.

Taste rating: 7.4 out of 10.
Not something to crave, but a way of eating that makes you feel clean and energized. Tesla did not eat for pleasure. He ate to give his mind the freedom to soar.

Homemade Shiitake Extract: this is a David Winston recipe for making a homemade shiitake extract that will boost your immune system. The first step is making a strong shiitake decoction. Cover your shiitakes in water and heat for 8-12 hours using low heat - 110 F. Then use a herb powder such as Eleuthero powder to make a paste. Roll the paste into a thin layer and dry in a dehydrator or oven on a low heat setting. When it is completely dry use a blender to turn into powder.
Now you might ask, why go through all this trouble? The problem with mushrooms is that our digestive systems can't break down the cell walls of the mushroom cells very well. So in order to get the true value from medicinal mushrooms, we need to make water or alcohol extracts.

Sibyl of the Rhine // Hildegard von Bingen was a German healer, mystic, visionary artist, symphonic composer, nun, and herbalist of the 12th century. She studied the healing properties of plants, gem stones, and animals throughout her life. Her writings are still published and printed today—I recommend checking out her book, Physica. As we approach the veil-thin days of late October, it's enspiriting to remember our herbal ancestors 🍂🍁

“I, the fiery life of divine essence, am aflame beyond the beauty of the meadows, I gleam in the waters, and I burn in the sun, moon and stars ... I awaken everything to life.” — H. von Bingen
