What can you eat — and how do you start?

The complete animal-based basics: what belongs on your plate, what to phase out of your house, how to structure a day, and a simple plan to begin this week.

Chapter 1 · The Diet

Can I eat this?

Search or filter any food to see which tier it falls in — and why. Nutrient density is the filter behind every tier.

Eat daily In moderation Avoid / minimize

Chapter 2 · The Non-Toxic Home

The non-toxic home

Diet is only part of the picture. Tap a room to see what to phase out and what to bring in instead.


Chapter 3 · The Ideal Schedule

Your ideal day & week

Order matters more than the length of the list — sunlight first thing and dim light at night do more for your rhythm than any supplement.


Chapter 4 · Getting Started

Start now, not someday

Everything above works together, but you don’t have to do it all today.

If you only do three things

  1. 1Get outside for sunlight first thing in the morning, every day, starting tomorrow.
  2. 2Swap your cooking oil for beef tallow or ghee, and start adding an organ meat or oysters once a week.
  3. 3Pick one plastic item you use daily — a water bottle, a food container — and replace it with glass or stainless steel.
