ChatGPT made this ridiculous graphic for me. I think it’s hilarious me holding a strip of bacon and a burger. It’s a carnivore bun of course. But I do look and feel amazing after three years of NO green smoothies and no fake meat!

Almost 64. Proud of my forehead lines!

No Botox. (This decade, tried it at 40 and it wore off.)
No fillers. (Tried that at 40, too…it didn’t change much.)
No injections. I eat collagen instead of injecting it!
No Ozempic. Lost 23 pounds by ditching plants and eating meat, butter and eggs!

Just real food and a functioning metabolism.

3 years mostly carnivore.
Protein. Every meal.
Sunlight. No sunscreen.
Movement. Just getting everything done, no “workouts.”
Low sugar. Hardly any fruit.
Pure water.
Minerals and some supplements.
Tallow skin cream.

That’s my “anti-aging protocol.”

Meanwhile the beauty industry is selling women a different story:

Inject your face.
Suppress your appetite.
Freeze the wrinkles.
Plaster your face with makeup and tattoo everything or glue it on.

But aging isn’t a cosmetic problem.

It’s a metabolic problem.

When your metabolism is broken, everything shows up in your face:

• inflammation and bloating
• sagging skin, breakouts
• fatigue and pain
• muscle loss
• dull eyes and dark circles

You can try to inject over the problem…

or you can fix the biology that caused it.

Your body knows how to repair itself when you give it what it needs.

Real food.
Protein.
Sunlight.
Strength.

No syringes required.

Almost 64. Not afraid of brow lines.

And I’ll take metabolic health over cosmetic shortcuts every time.

Raw milk is officially legal again 🙌

For we the people of USA who care about local farms, food freedom, and ancestral nourishment — this is big news.

Raw milk from healthy, pasture-raised cows contains naturally occurring enzymes, beneficial bacteria, and intact nutrients that are destroyed in pasteurization.

It’s about informed choice.
It’s about supporting small regenerative dairies.
It’s about trusting adults to make decisions about their own health.

Food sovereignty matters. 🥛🌾

I raised chickens and assure you that keeping chickens for eggs in a protective cage is not cruel! It's exactly what you need to do as a chicken farmer. You need to protect chickens from predators. What's important is that the chickens get to live outside in sunlight so they produce omega-3 fatty acids in their eggs which then enrich you. Omega-3 is like sunlight that you can eat. Look for eggs from chickens that get to live outside "free range" not "cage free" which is meaningless. Look for chickens that ate some bugs, not just soy and corn.

When I first was diagnosed with a crippling , at 57, I saw doctors, neurologists, pain management specialists, chiropractors. I went to physical therapy over 70 times. I explored medications, injections, stem cells, steroids and prolotherapy… I thought I would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Wearing Depends. I seriously considered finding assisted living.

Now, I’m almost 64. And life has totally rebooted! What healed me surprised me —real food and real mineral water, soaking in natural Springs. Lots of sunshine, moving my body outside, walking barefoot, touching soil, and getting closer to source.

What heals you?

Health is feedback.

When something reduces inflammation and restores mobility, I keep it.

When something doesn’t, I stop.

This is simply what worked for me. When I was in so much pain, I felt like life wasn’t worth living anymore.

It turned out that plants made me hurt, and eating red meat, eggs and butter, stopped the pain.

It wasn’t what I expected. I would’ve thought the opposite, right? All those healthy veggies, salads and green juices were supposed to make me healthy, but they actually made me really sick.

Just a reminder what’s really going on with our ecosystem and this constant push to eat plants. Why? Because those crops are heavily sprayed with chemicals that profit these companies they include corn, cotton seed, which is used to make shortening and other seed oils, and soy beans. These chemicals are not necessary if you eat, grass fed ruminant meat, pastured, eggs, and grass fed dairy that’s why they don’t want you eating those healthy foods they want you eating their genetically modified seeds and they’re heavily sprayed crops so they make money of the chemicals and make money of the processed food and they make money again when you get sick from eating those foods and need pharmaceuticals or your malnourished and you need supplements it’s all about profit. It’s not about your health. ,

❤️getting new healthy products to try! Thank you 🙏 for the Coffee ☕️ and Colostrum. No , herbicide, mold and mycotoxins!

Haven’t tried yet and I am looking forward to seeing how it goes. Colostrum is from grass fed cows, and being rediscovered for gut health, enhancing immune function, with vital nutrients.

So some people think that bright blue water in a swimming pool or a spa is healthy actually you’re soaking in toxic chemicals if you had any idea how many chemicals are needed to keep a swimming pool clean you would never go in one. I’m always looking for natural hot springs that is springs that have untreated water straight from the Earth just the minerals as God intended, soaking into the skin our largest organ I took adventure out to the desert this weekend and found just the place it’s unpretentious. It’s just a campground. It only cost $15 for a day pass. There’s nothing fancy here. You fill these cement pools with a hose of very hot water and then empty it out and clean it for the next person. Some people were horrified and called it gross! I think the treated city water coming through plastic pipes is gross! Do you agree?

We lost another rooster 🐔 this week. The majestic Roosty Roo. Now we just have 7 hens. The girls don’t seem to mind actually. Do you raise hens without a Roo? Are the eggs still as nutritious if they are not fertile? We are not letting them free range anymore…it’s too dangerous for them.

Karolina Krzyżak, a 27-year-old Polish woman, has died for the animals. For purity. Senselessly.

At the time of her death in October she weighed about 27 kg / 60 lbs.

For years she ate only fruit, believing it would “cleanse her body.”

No protein. No fat. No iron, calcium, or B vitamins. Just fruit.

Slowly, her body began to fall apart.
She grew weaker and weaker, moved slowly, spoke with difficulty.
Her skin became thin, cracked, and gray. Her hair faded. Her teeth crumbled.
She looked like an elderly woman in her twenties.

In Bali, hotel staff begged her to see a doctor. She refused, repeating,

“The body will heal itself."

Not unless you nourish it. She didn't.
