ADVICE

Smart Canned Tuna Choices

  • Choose BPA-free canned wild tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil or water for affordable omega-3 rich protein.
  • Use tuna on salads or mixed with avocado and herbs instead of mayo-based dishes.
ADVICE

Use Poultry Livers As Superfood Protein

  • Buy pasture-raised chicken, duck, or turkey livers as cheap, nutrient-dense protein sources rich in vitamin A, B12, choline and iron.
  • Saute, blend into pâté with olive oil and herbs, or hide in salads if you dislike the flavor.
ADVICE

Pick Gut-Friendly Seeds

  • Prefer hemp, sesame, ground flax, and basil seeds while avoiding chia, pumpkin, buckwheat, and sunflower seeds if you have lectin/oxidative sensitivities.
  • Grind flax before use or refrigerate pre-ground flax to prevent rancidity and soak basil seeds to gel them before eating.
