When my friend Nick Norwitz asked me to come up with a fermented macadamia recipe, I was immediately on board. I love a good challenge in the kitchen, and this one turned out so well that I knew I had to share it. I knew macadamia nuts work really well in hummus, so it was a no brainer! This hummus is creamy, slightly tangy, and incredibly easy to make. Soaked macadamia nuts have a texture surprisingly close to chickpeas, but without the carbs or anti-nutrients that can make legumes harder to digest. Plus, they’re packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, making this a great option for anyone ..read more

Quick Summary tl;dr 82 deaths and 400 hospitalizations in the UK have been linked to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. While this doesn’t prove the drugs directly caused these cases, it also doesn’t rule out potential risks—these reports exist for a reason and warrant further investigation. Overall risk may still be low, yet further investigation is needed to confirm safety—especially for those using them purely to lose weight. Common side effects (like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) can impact daily life, while rarer complications (pancreatitis, gallbladder issues) could be severe. Black-marke ..read more

Quick Summary tl;dr PSMF Basics: A Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) is a short-term, very low-calorie diet that emphasizes high protein while keeping carbs and fats extremely low. It’s designed to protect muscle mass during rapid weight loss by making protein the focal point of each meal. How It Works: Daily calories typically range from 600–800, and most come from lean protein sources like fish, poultry, or low-fat dairy. Carbs and fats stay minimal, so supplements (especially electrolytes) are often used to fill nutritional gaps. Pros and Cons: On the plus side, PSMF can yield quick res ..read more

I’ll be honest—before I started making my own, I used to think cream of mushroom soup only came in a can. You know the one. The thick, gloopy stuff that somehow finds its way into every casserole recipe from the ‘80s. But once I made it from scratch? Game changer. This homemade version is rich, velvety, and packed with real mushroom flavor. The secret ingredient that makes a huge difference? Dried porcini mushrooms! They add so much flavor and once blended, they make this soup nice and creamy. There are no weird additives, no strange aftertaste—just pure, creamy goodness. Plus, it’s not just ..read more
