Doc & I bought a dozen duck eggs at the local farmers market last week and are ready to share this fabulous 3 duck egg omelette together. 😍

Here are the many health benefits:
🥚Duck eggs are 30-50% larger than a large size hen egg so you get much more protein, fat, Vitamin A, E, D, B-12, Iron, selenium & cholesterol and so much more in one egg.

Other Health Benefits:
🥚Boost brain health from the rich yolk that is loaded with choline~this makes acetylcholine, A key neurotransmitter that supports cognitive function like memory & attention.
🥚The higher levels of Vitamin A improve your immunity, skin & eye health.
🥚The higher levels of protein, fat and key nutrients will help you feel full and satisfied for hours after eating.
🥚the higher cholesterol content means you have more substrate to build your 56 vital hormones that optimize your health.

🥚BTW, The cholesterol in any egg is not the root cause of heart disease...the sugar, trans fats & PUFA fats that lead to inflammation & insulin resistance is hornets nest of all degenerative diseases like ❤️ disease, diabetes etc.

Why Tyrosine rich foods should matter to you!

Tyrosine is an amino acid ( AA)involved that produces the neurotransmitter, dopamine.
Dopamine is the brain chemical that allows you to think, build self efficacy, focus , pay attention to what really matters, builds perseverance and motivation.

How much Tyrosine do you need?

Tyrosine is conditionally essential AA since it can be made by the body if a person consumes enough of the amino acid, phenylalanine.

The recommended daily intake of phenylalanine and tyrosine is 11mg per pound. Assuming you gets half your requirement from each amino acid, you can then consume 5.5mg per pound.

For example, I weigh 132lbs so I need at least 750 mg of tyrosine and phenylalanine a day or MORE to properly boost my dopamine stores

Refer back to this chart to get how well you’re getting your baseline needs met.

Tip: It’s a lot easier to get your needs met if you consume nutrient dense foods like grass finished beef, pastured poultry, and some hard aged cheese or kefir.

To be focused in your workouts and persevere in the game of life. aim to get your daily dose of tyrosine.

When you pick up a box of tea or any food label and see the term “natural flavor” it might put your mind at ease;however, natural flavors are more like “natural disasters.”

🍎And they are ubiquitous! In fact, “Natural flavor” is now the 4th most common ingredient listed on food labels from research by the EWG~the environmental working group looking at 80,000 of the most common foods.

🍎The FDA defines natural flavors as any ingredient derived from plants and animals;however, that doesn’t mean that your apple flavor comes from apples in fact your apple flavor can contain mixtures of hundreds of synthetic chemicals and food companies don’t have to disclose these hidden ingredients.
So, you don’t know what chemicals are the cause of your digestive issues! 🤷‍♀️

🍎Why do companies use natural flavors? If you’ve ever eaten a perfect strawberry and then a sour one from the same batch it makes sense creating a “frankenflavor” means that every product will taste exactly the same every single time.
But, on a sinister level, these natural flavors have proven to be way more addictive so we crave more of it🤬. Research indicates some natural flavors in our food act like Excitotoxins for our brain in a similar fashion to the food additive, MSG.

🍎Endotoxins are linked to weight loss resistance chronic pain, migraines, mood and metabolic disorders. So, Natural flavors trick your brain And hijack your taste buds.

🍎This is why I encourage and teach all clients to read ingredient labels to become more aware.
If you swipe left you’ll see two examples of food products with natural flavors marketed to children.😩😡😱

I encourage my parents to call their customer service # to request these natural flavors are eliminated. These calls have and can make a difference if enough consumers make their voices heard.

🍎VOTE with your Dollars – when it comes to your food choices. You and your health are a precious gift ...so invest wisely!!

🍎tag your friends who love tea and spread the word, please!!
