Rapid Healing From Diet Change
- Autumn Smith healed decades-long IBS and anxiety within 30 days after removing processed foods and eating high-quality animal products.
- She then refined her diet further over a year to stabilize mental health with lower carbs and ketone usage.
Choose Fermented Over Processed Meat Sticks
- Prefer fermented meat sticks preserved with lactic-acid fermentation rather than industrial additives like encapsulated citric acid.
- Choose products made with probiotics and starter cultures for texture, flavor, and fewer ultra-processed ingredients.
Glycine Is An Undervalued Nutrient
- Glycine is likely underconsumed and crucial for collagen, glutathione, sleep, and calming the brain.
- Researchers suggest we need roughly 15g daily but typically make and eat only ~3g each.
