The Fuel

The foods, spices, and daily choices my dad and I use to rebuild — no miracle pills, no paywall, just what we put on the plate.

What You’ll Find Here

Two doors from this kitchen: the daily plate, and the research behind it.

What goes in the salad — greens, crucifers, beans, seeds. Nuts get measured when we plate it.

What I Eat

How we power the forge: morning cocktail through dinner. Real food in volume — not a side salad for show.

Plant foods and research notes — turmeric, ginger, cacao, flax, berries beside open journals
The receipts — human studies on the foods and spices we use.

Jump links to fenugreek, black cumin, cacao, soy, flax, and the rest — strongest human outcomes first.

Kitchen Tools That Keep Food Alive

Debbie Meyer GreenBoxes hold the salad batches. GreenBags keep produce alive longer. Mason jars are for the beans and spaghetti sauce. I own three sets of the Meyer gear. Indispensable.

Why This Plate Matters

Blood is Life sent you here to see what I eat. Clean fuel keeps the flow. Same kitchen, same dad, same fight — every day.

The Unofficial Diet Essential

“I am recommending this because my colon forced me to.”

When you put down over 100 grams of fiber a day from whole foods, beans, and greens, modern plumbing is not always built for the output. I finally got this POPULO battery-powered air plunger — the 5 Bar electric clog remover with a built-in pump. Price moves on Amazon, so check the listing.

If you eat the way I do, treat this as a tactical necessity. You’ve been warned.
