You were designed to eat protein … in its original form. 🥩

For generations, families gathered around the dinner table sharing real food — beef, eggs, dairy, fresh bread. Meals were slow. Conversations were long. Bodies knew exactly what to do with what was on the plate.

Today, the picture looks different —life got faster. Food got more convenient.

But it’s harming us.

🔸 More than half of the calories the average American eats now come from ultra-processed foods

🔸 6 in 10 American adults live with at least one chronic disease, and 4 in 10 live with two or more (CDC)

🔸 In a tightly controlled NIH study, people eating ultra-processed foods ate 508 extra calories a day — without realizing it — compared to those eating whole foods

Your body really can tell the difference.

A steak gets chewed slowly, releases amino acids gradually, and arrives with built-in iron, B12, zinc, and creatine — nutrients held together in the way God designed.

A processed protein bar, even with the same grams on the label, moves through you faster, often carries emulsifiers and sugar alcohols your gut wasn’t built for, and leaves out the micronutrients your muscles quietly depend on.

This is an invitation back. 💛

Back to the table. Back to slower meals. Back to food in the form your body actually recognizes. Back to original design 🤍

Why You Should Skip the Pre-Washed Bagged Salad 🥬⚠️

Most pre-washed greens are bathed in a chlorine solution (typically 50–200 ppm of chlorine, similar to pool water levels) before being sealed in convenient plastic containers.

What to do instead:

Buy whole heads of lettuce — romaine, butter, green leaf, or a living hydroponic head with roots still attached. They stay fresh longer than you’d think.

Wash at home properly: Soak leaves in a bowl of cold water with a splash of white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) for 5 minutes, then rinse.

Spin dry thoroughly — a salad spinner is a $15 game-changer. Wet leaves = soggy salad and faster spoilage.

Store smart: Wrap clean, dry leaves in a paper towel inside an airtight container or reusable bag. They’ll last 7–10 days easily.

Even better — grow your own: Lettuce, arugula, and spinach are some of the easiest things to grow in a pot on a windowsill or balcony. Cut-and-come-again varieties give you fresh greens for weeks. 🌱

🤔 76% of adults, have one chronic disease and 46% have two … time to get back to the original design for food and health

Steak rich? Yes please!

95-97% of beef in America does NOT eat grass at the end of its life. They eat corn.

What does this mean for you?

Corn fed beef has 5-7x omega sixes (the fat that causes inflammation) than grass-finished beef.

Corn-fed beef has more palmitic acid (C16:0) and myristic acid (C14:0) — the saturated fats most strongly associated with raising LDL cholesterol.

Grass-fed beef has proportionally more stearic acid (C18:0) — a saturated fat that is largely neutral for blood cholesterol.

In this video, you can see a very visual comparison of the color difference of beef that was from the store that was labeled organic and grass fed versus beef. That was truly grass-fed and grass-finished from Parker pastures.

Which would you choose?

What if America came back to the dinner table?

But really — what if we did?

What if the food on your plate came from a family farm down the road, not a factory three states away? What if homemade sourdough became normal again? What if dinner became sacred again?

There’s something powerful about the dinner table. Research shows that 80% of teenagers say family dinner is the time of day they’re most likely to talk to their parents. Teens who have fewer than three family dinners per week are also reported to be 3 times more likely to try ma*****na, 2.5 times more likely to smoke ci******es, and more than 1.5 times more likely to drink alcohol than teens who share five or more family dinners each week.

Deep in our DNA, we instinctively know this is the way we were meant to live — in rich, meaningful community. Nourished by good food grown from the earth.

Surrounded by the people we love most. In relationship with our Creator.
I have a feeling that’s the kind of life you want, too.

That is the mission and vision I’m inviting you into.

Back to the table.

Want to start buying local food from small family farms and ranches? Here’s where to begin:

🌱 1. Visit your local farmers market.
Summer is the easiest time to connect with local food producers. Talk to the farmers. Ask how they grow their food, what they feed their animals, and whether they use pesticides or herbicides. Find producers whose values align with yours and support them regularly.

🥩 2. Buy meat in bulk.
One of the best ways to save money and support a local rancher is by purchasing a quarter, half, or whole beef. You’ll lock in your price, lower your cost per pound, and fill your freezer with a variety of cuts—from steaks and roasts to ground beef for everyday meals.

🥚 3. Think beyond the grocery store.
Many local farms offer eggs, milk, meat, and produce directly to consumers. A quick online search can often connect you with farms that deliver to your area. The biggest shift is simply changing your mindset—from buying food from a store to buying food from the people who actually produce it.

This is SHOCKING 😮 only .03% of the food grown will remain in its original form when it ends up on your plate.

80% of diseases in America are related to food and lifestyle.

Our bodies aren’t designed to eat food that is made in a lab and we are feeling the consequences.

it’s time to return back to real food
