GLP‑1 has become one of the most discussed developments in modern health, not because it represents new biology, but because it highlights how far the modern food environment has drifted from human physiology. GLP‑1 is a hormone the body naturally produces to regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar. The medications now in use simply extend and amplify this signal.

The deeper issue is not the drug—it is the food system. Highly processed foods deliver calories without sufficient protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals. When the body receives energy without adequate nutrients, satiety signals weaken and hunger persists. In contrast, diets built around protein‑rich, minimally processed foods naturally reduce appetite because the body receives the amino acids and micronutrients it requires.

GLP‑1 medications did not create this imbalance; they compensate for it. They reduce food noise, slow digestion, and improve insulin signaling while present. When discontinued, appetite returns toward baseline, reflecting biology resuming its prior state rather than permanent damage.

Looking ahead, widespread GLP‑1 use is likely to become a major health focus over the next five years. As adoption increases, scientist are paying closer attention to GLP‑1 indicators such as lean mass preservation, gastrointestinal tolerance, gallbladder health, micronutrient intake, and long‑term metabolic adaptation. New medications are being developed to improve these outcomes and reduce side effects, but this work is still evolving.

Relying indefinitely on pharmacologically elevated GLP‑1 without addressing diet quality and lifestyle may introduce new population‑level health challenges. The body is designed to regulate appetite naturally when meals provide sufficient protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Learning what real food is—and recognizing how unhealthy much of the modern food supply has become—remains the most sustainable way to restore appetite regulation.

GLP‑1 is not a miracle or a villain. It is a signal that medicine has stepped in where food systems and nutritional understanding have failed, and a reminder that long‑term health depends on more than appetite suppression alone.

Why are humans the only species that becomes obese?

Look at nature.
Every animal living in the wild moves in rhythm with its environment. None of them are overweight. None of them are disconnected from hunger, movement, or survival.

No lion becomes too heavy to hunt.
No bird grows too heavy to fly.
No animal eats beyond necessity.

Then there’s us.

Humans are the glitch in the ecosystem.

We no longer eat to survive. We eat to *feel*. To soothe stress. To escape boredom. To chase comfort. Food is no longer nourishment; it’s emotional regulation.

We have engineered food to look natural while stripping it of what actually sustains life. What we consume today is often closer to poison than nutrition.

Synthetic sugars.
Processed oils.
Artificial flavourings.
Pesticides.
Wax-coated fruit designed to survive transport, not to nourish a body.

These are not foods rich in essential amino acids. They are not building blocks for health. They do not support the systems they enter.

We are no longer feeding hunger — we are feeding dependency.

Ask yourself this: how did abundance become constant? Supermarkets overflowing with food every single day of the year, regardless of season, geography, or need. An environment where scarcity no longer exists, but sickness does.

At the same time, we are bombarded by experts telling us what not to eat. Conflicting advice. Endless rules. Yet rates of chronic illness continue to climb.

I’ve lived on the other side of this.

I have reversed health complications. I’ve found a lifestyle that doesn’t just work — it improves every area of my life. I am medication‑free.

If your lifestyle and diet allow you to live without medication, with clarity, energy, and resilience, that isn’t extreme.

That is what living your best life actually looks like.

BRAIN BIOLOGY AND DIET

Your brain is not abstract. It is physical tissue. Roughly sixty percent of its dry weight is fat, largely phospholipids and cholesterol, reinforced by minerals, vitamins, and amino acids that must come from food.

Amino acids are not optional. Tyrosine supports dopamine and norepinephrine. Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin and melatonin. Glutamine feeds GABA and glutamate balance. Glycine regulates inhibition and sleep depth. If intake is low or inconsistent, neurotransmitter synthesis drops. The system does not “manifest” chemistry it does not have.

Carbohydrate intake changes this chemistry further. Glucose is required, but excess refined carbohydrates drive insulin spikes, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Ultra‑processed diets are typically high in carbohydrates yet low in micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, B6, B12, choline, and iron, all required for synaptic signaling and myelin maintenance.

Food alters brain chemistry directly. The brain adapts to what it is given. Diet either feeds instability or supports repair.

KETOGENIC AND CARNIVORE DIETS IN MENTAL HEALTH

Ketogenic and carnivore‑style diets are no longer fringe discussions. Clinical research is underway examining their effects on major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and treatment‑resistant anxiety.

The mechanism is biochemical, not mystical. Ketones provide a stable fuel source for neurons, reducing glucose volatility. Lower carbohydrate intake decreases insulin fluctuation and inflammatory signaling. Animal‑based diets are dense in complete amino acids, bioavailable iron, zinc, B12, choline, DHA, and cholesterol, all required for neurotransmission and hormone synthesis.

Historically this idea is not new. In the 1920s ketogenic therapy was used for epilepsy, long before psychopharmacology dominated psychiatry. Early metabolic psychiatry research suggested links between glucose metabolism, brain excitability, and mood stability. That line of inquiry lost momentum with the rise of pharmaceutical solutions, not because it failed, but because it did not scale commercially.

This does not mean one diet cures all. It means metabolism matters more than previously admitted.

WHY THIS IDEA WAS SIDELINED AND WHY IT RETURNED

Every major conspiracy theory intersects here. Food industry influence, pharmaceutical dominance, institutional inertia, and fear‑based public messaging all converge on one point: nutritional interventions are difficult to patent, regulate, and monetize.

Highly processed foods are cheap, shelf‑stable, and addictive by design. They are also high in carbohydrates and low in essential nutrients. This creates dependency while degrading mental resilience. Meanwhile, questioning carbohydrate‑heavy dietary guidelines was framed as dangerous, irresponsible, or anti‑science, even as metabolic disorders and mental health crises rose together.

The confrontational truth is this: fear is easier to sell than responsibility. Saying “your diet may be contributing to your mental state” demands agency. Saying “it’s random, genetic, or chemical only” removes it.

The return of metabolic psychiatry is not rebellion. It is correction. Old data re‑examined with better tools, modern imaging, and outcomes that can no longer be ignored.

Your brain is built from what you eat. That has always been true. The only thing that changed is that people started paying attention again.

01/02/2026

We often judge food by how it looks on the plate. Color, presentation, and portion size catch our attention first. But once food enters the body, none of that matters. The body does not recognize presentation. It does not care how aesthetic the meal was. It only looks for usable information.

Inside the digestive system, food is broken down into its most basic components: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and simple sugars. These are the building blocks the body uses to repair tissue, create hormones, fuel the brain, support immunity, and regulate energy.

Protein becomes amino acids. Fats become fatty acids and cholesterol. Carbohydrates become glucose. From there, the body decides where those raw materials are needed most. Muscle repair, gut lining maintenance, joint support, nervous system signaling, and hormone production all depend on whether the right nutrients are available at the right time.

This is why food quality matters more than food appearance. A beautiful plate can still be nutritionally empty. A simple plate can be deeply nourishing if it provides the nutrients the body is actually searching for.

This weekend, our diet delivered exactly that. High‑quality protein supplying all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential ones the body cannot make. Vitamins and minerals in their bioavailable forms. Fats that support hormone signaling. Carbohydrates that refill energy without overwhelming blood sugar.

What the body “saw” was not a plate. It saw raw materials. And it used them accordingly.

Food is information. The body always reads the label, not the presentation.

Try entering your food intake into a Google search and look up the amino acids it contains. Your body needs them

Food looks good on the plate, but inside the body there is no presentation, only chemistry. The body scans for amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. This is what our bodies received from our diet this weekend.

DIET OVERVIEW SNAPSHOT

This intake is built around animal‑derived proteins, collagen, organ nutrients, fermented dairy, slow carbohydrates, and mineral support. Protein quality is high, amino acid coverage is complete when collagen is combined with meat and dairy, and carbohydrate intake stays moderate and functional rather than excessive.

This structure aligns with muscle repair, connective tissue turnover, gut lining integrity, hormone signaling, and stable blood sugar. The pattern reflects how humans historically consumed nutrients before modern ultra‑processing: whole animals, slow cooking, fermentation, and naturally occurring sugars.

Key point often debated online: collagen alone is not a complete protein. When combined with meat, dairy, or organ sources as done here, that limitation is removed.

AMINO ACIDS AND PROTEIN LOGIC

Primary protein sources include collagen, beef protein, beef organs, colostrum, lamb, brisket, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese.

Collagen supplies glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These are structural amino acids tied to joints, skin, fascia, gut lining, and nervous system calm. What collagen lacks are essential amino acids like leucine and lysine.

Muscle meats, dairy, and organ blends fill that gap. They supply leucine for muscle protein synthesis, lysine for tissue repair and immunity, methionine for methylation, and BCAAs for recovery and glucose regulation.

Approximate amino acid distribution across the day
Essential amino acids roughly half of total intake
BCAAs roughly one fifth, driven by meat and dairy
Collagen‑specific amino acids roughly one quarter
Glutamine and arginine support gut and blood flow

This combination addresses a common argument online that “collagen is useless.” It is only incomplete when isolated. In mixed diets like this, it becomes functional.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS FROM ANIMAL FOODS

Beef organ complex delivers fat‑soluble vitamins in their active forms. Vitamin A supports vision, immune signaling, and hormone communication. B12 supports red blood cells and nerve insulation. Copper and zinc regulate enzymes, immunity, and energy production. Heme iron improves oxygen delivery and cognitive performance.

Colostrum provides immune peptides, lactoferrin for iron handling, and growth factors that support gut repair. This counters the claim that adult humans gain nothing from colostrum; data shows bioactive effects persist beyond infancy.

Lamb shank and brisket provide zinc, iron, niacin, riboflavin, and B6. These nutrients drive testosterone production, mitochondrial energy, and neurotransmitter synthesis.

DAIRY FUNCTION AND CONTROVERSY

Greek yogurt and cottage cheese provide complete protein with slow digestion due to casein. Calcium and phosphorus support bone density and nerve signaling. B12 supports brain and nerve health. Fermented yogurt introduces bacteria that assist gut barrier function.

A frequent online claim is that dairy causes inflammation in everyone. Evidence shows intolerance is individual, not universal. Fermented dairy is often better tolerated and nutritionally dense.

CARBOHYDRATES AND PLANT MICRONUTRIENTS

Carbohydrate intake here is intentional and moderate.

Sweet potato provides beta‑carotene, potassium, and slow glucose release. This supports thyroid conversion, muscle contraction, and glycogen refill without spikes.

Blueberries supply vitamin C and anthocyanins. These protect brain tissue and support collagen synthesis.

Honey, maple syrup, and dates provide small amounts of glucose and fructose. These replenish liver glycogen, support thyroid output, and improve training recovery when used in low doses rather than chronic excess.

Mushrooms add selenium and B vitamins for antioxidant defense and mitochondrial output.

FATS, NUTS, AND MINERALS

Walnuts, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, and cream provide fatty acids, magnesium, selenium, and fat‑soluble vitamin absorption.

Brazil nuts supply selenium for thyroid hormone activation. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and sleep quality. Animal fats and cream supply cholesterol, which is a precursor for steroid hormones and vitamin D metabolism.

This counters the outdated belief that dietary cholesterol directly causes heart disease. Current evidence shows context matters more than isolated nutrients.

SALT, COFFEE, AND HYDRATION

Celtic sea salt supplies sodium for nerve impulses, hydration, and adrenal signaling, along with trace minerals.

Coffee contributes polyphenols and caffeine, improving alertness, fat oxidation, and insulin sensitivity when not combined with excessive sugar.

The idea that salt and coffee are universally harmful is outdated; dosage and overall diet context determine impact.

SYSTEM‑LEVEL EFFECTS IN THE BODY

This dietary pattern supports muscle growth through leucine and total protein intake. Joints, skin, and gut integrity improve through collagen‑specific amino acids. Hormone production benefits from zinc, cholesterol, B vitamins, and selenium. Gut health improves via fermented dairy, colostrum, and gelatinous meats. Blood sugar stability is maintained with slow carbs and adequate sodium. Brain and nervous system function are supported through iron, B12, magnesium, and glycine.

This is not a trend diet. It is a density‑focused intake using animal nutrition, fermentation, slow cooking, and controlled carbohydrates.
this intake is high in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that actively support the body. It provides all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids the body cannot make: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Together, these support muscle repair, connective tissue strength, hormone signaling, gut integrity, and nervous system function. Many modern nutrition arguments fall apart when nutrients are evaluated together instead of in isolation. The combination matters more than any single food.

Saturday night tea will be a slow-cooked lamb shank, infused with bay leaves, rosemary and a subtle touch of cinnamon. The lamb is served with a gently spiced curry made using garam masala, turmeric and a pinch of chilli, combined with onions, mushrooms and sweet potatoes.

For dessert, we are enjoying a coffee and walnut-style dessert served with fresh cream. The base is made from finely ground walnuts, Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds, with just two dates (approximately 10 g) for natural sweetness. A shot of espresso is mixed directly into the ground nuts, adding depth of flavour without the need for cake flour or refined sugars.

After years of using a high-quality collagen supplement, we’ve decided to change direction. This new option isn’t keto-friendly or low in carbohydrates, but we’re no longer focused on weight loss. Instead, we’re prioritizing overall nutrition.

We’ve chosen a product from a UK-based company that offers something different from what we were previously getting, while still providing collagen peptides and beef protein. What sets this apart is the inclusion of date powder, maple syrup powder, and honey powder, along with a bovine organ complex. This organ blend includes heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen—foods we haven’t been consuming.

The deeper you explore a carnivore lifestyle, the more you realize how much is often left out. There’s nothing wrong with the carnivore diet, and it can significantly improve many health issues. However, humans traditionally consumed the entire animal, from nose to tail, and most of us no longer do that. This product gives us a way to reintroduce those missing nutrients into our lifestyle.

Our journey

From the beginning of this dietary journey, there were many influences that shaped my thinking and direction. It actually started during the COVID period, not with the diet itself, but through the work of Dr John Campbell. His guidance, research-driven explanations, and ability to communicate complex health information clearly prompted me to begin questioning and researching my own health, and by extension, our health as a whole. That exposure became the catalyst for everything that followed and marked the true starting point of this journey.

As my understanding developed, my focus expanded beyond general health into metabolic health and nutritional strategy. This led me to the United States and to the work of Dr Eric Berg, whose approach to the ketogenic lifestyle resonated strongly with the direction my own research was taking. Following his work helped consolidate many of the principles I was already uncovering and gave structure to how I viewed diet, and long-term health. Dr Boz Annette Bosworth
She told me about MCT oil
She got an interesting story to tell.

Dr Steven Grundy with him I found out about polyphenols.

Along the way, further influences continued to reinforce and validate this path. Figures such as Gary Becker , Dr Ken Berry, Ben Azadi, Dave Asprey,
Then I found Hunter and Gatherer, uk and I’ve just found I can buy MCT in the uk and I could now find food options to help our keto journey

We then completed a diploma in ketogenic lifestyle we needed more information.

Keto brain conference in Manchester
Listening to Richard Smith now following on social media
has also been a significant influence. I pay close attention to his insights, and after meeting him in person, that respect only deepened. His ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and conviction has been both informative and motivating.
Now I’m understanding BHB

New players to follow now
Dr. Anthony Chaffee
Dr. Bikman
He is so easy to understand and very interesting new research information on BHB

Throughout this process, a consistent theme has been learning directly from people who are actively engaged in health-focused work. I listen carefully, absorb information, and then cross-reference it extensively. Over time, patterns emerge, connections form, and the individual pieces begin to align. Looking back, the knowledge I had two years ago felt substantial at the time, but it now represents only a foundation. The depth of research and understanding I have since developed, particularly around metabolic health, has accelerated at a remarkable pace and continues to evolve through ongoing training and study.

Our New ongoing training with metabolic health coaching

This does not represent the final piece of the puzzle, as there is still much more to learn. However, it does reflect a clear progression from curiosity to structured knowledge, guided by credible influences, critical thinking, and a continual commitment to understanding health at a deeper, more meaningful level.

Our multi vitamins options

Portion Sizes in Grams (Per Serving)
Food Household Measure Approx. Weight
Brazil nuts 2 whole nut 10g

Walnuts Small handful ~20–25 g

Pumpkin seeds (raw)
1–2 tablespoons ~10–20 g

Raw cheese
Palm‑sized portion ~30–40 g

Blueberries ¼–½ cup ~35–75 g

This outline describes a practical late‑evening nut and nutrient intake that supports metabolic recovery, brain function, and mineral balance without overstimulation. Portions are modest, purposeful, and designed to work with circadian biology rather than against it.

Late‑Evening Intake Overview and Portions after last meal of the day
Brazil nut, walnuts, pumpkin seeds are eaten together 4-5 days a week

Brazil nuts are taken in very small amounts, typically two whole nuts, providing roughly ten grams.

Walnuts are consumed as a small handful, usually in the range of twenty to twenty‑five grams.

Pumpkin seeds are added at one to two tablespoons, approximately ten to twenty grams.

Raw cheese is included as a palm‑sized portion, averaging thirty to forty grams.

Blueberries are optional and kept light, between a quarter and half a cup, or roughly thirty‑five to seventy‑five grams.

Brazil Nuts – Selenium and Cellular Protection

Brazil nuts are exceptionally concentrated in selenium, a trace mineral required for thyroid hormone regulation, antioxidant defense, and cellular repair. Even one or two nuts can fully meet daily selenium requirements. This level supports thyroid signaling, enhances immune defense through antioxidant enzyme activity, and contributes to brain and cardiovascular protection by reducing oxidative and inflammatory stress. Because selenium is potent, intake is deliberately limited rather than habitual in large quantities.

Walnuts – Omega‑3 and Neurovascular Support

Walnuts provide one of the richest plant sources of omega‑3 fats, specifically alpha‑linolenic acid. Regular inclusion supports cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol balance and vascular function. The combination of omega‑3s and polyphenols supports cognitive performance and long‑term brain health while also helping to reduce low‑grade inflammation. Walnuts additionally support gut bacteria diversity and assist with blood‑sugar regulation when eaten alongside protein or fat.

Pumpkin Seeds – Mineral Density and Sleep Support

Pumpkin seeds deliver a dense supply of magnesium, zinc, iron, and plant protein. These minerals support muscle and nerve signaling, immune resilience, and blood‑pressure regulation. Zinc and phytosterols contribute to prostate and urinary health, while the natural tryptophan content supports melatonin production, making pumpkin seeds particularly well‑suited for evening intake.

2-3 days a week with the nuts
Raw Cheese – Protein, Calcium, and Fat‑Soluble Vitamins

Raw, unpasteurized cheese adds nutrients that nuts and seeds do not provide on their own. It supplies complete protein, calcium, and phosphorus for skeletal integrity, along with fat‑soluble vitamins A and D. Aged raw cheeses also provide vitamin K2, which helps direct calcium into bone rather than soft tissue. Naturally occurring enzymes and bacteria in truly raw varieties support digestion and mineral absorption. Practical portions stay around twenty to thirty grams, equivalent to a small slice or cube. Raw cheddar, gouda, and sheep or goat cheeses pair particularly well with nuts and seeds.

2-3 days a week with the nuts but not at the same time as the cheese
Blueberries – Antioxidant and Vascular Support

Blueberries add targeted antioxidant support without excessive sugar when portions are controlled. Their anthocyanins help reduce oxidative stress and support brain and vascular health. Polyphenols complement other plant compounds in the diet while maintaining a relatively low glycemic impact. Fresh or frozen servings remain modest to avoid late‑night glucose spikes.

Expected Effects Over Time

Within the first twenty‑four hours, fats and protein provide steady energy availability, mineral absorption improves, and antioxidant activity begins reducing oxidative stress. Satiety increases, supporting stable blood‑sugar levels overnight.

After three to seven days of consistent intake, digestion and bowel regularity often improve due to fiber and mineral balance. Inflammatory markers may begin to decline as omega‑3s and polyphenols accumulate, and magnesium and selenium regulation becomes more stable.

Between two and four weeks, benefits become more noticeable. Mental clarity and focus improve, daily energy feels more even, joint comfort often increases, and early cardiovascular support appears through favorable lipid shifts.

At six to twelve weeks, deeper structural changes occur. Heart health markers such as triglycerides and HDL show improvement, bone mineral support strengthens through coordinated calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 activity, immune resilience increases, and skin and hair quality often improve with consistent nutrient availability.

Taken together, this late‑evening combination emphasizes precision rather than volume, supporting recovery, hormonal balance, and long‑term resilience without disrupting sleep or metabolic rhythm.
