Saturated fat, red meat, grass fed butter. Your body needs those to make hormones. Oh, it does. And when you start eating canola and cedar oil and all these plant oils, it's stressful for the body and it slows your metabolism. So when you eat these traditional foods you've eaten for thousands of years without harm, they actually cause you to relax because your body says, I finally got what I needed. And then that allows you to make healthier cell membranes, and healthier cell membranes make more electricity. When your body can make more electricity, you can do more in the world. So grass fed red meat and grass fed butter. So instead of putting whatever salad dressing is there, literally at least some olive oil would be good. But you need to cook your vegetables with butter and you'll be so much more full, so much happier, and so much more calm. So it turns out these basic nutrients, also minerals, the reason they're in danger, coffee, is because minerals allow the body to do what it's trying to do. And when it can't do what it's trying to do, that's when it gets stressed.
