I ran an experiment on myself. Thirty days eating nothing but meat, fish, eggs, and animal fats.
My total cholesterol dropped from 230 to 198. My triglycerides dropped 40%. My HDL went up. My inflammation markers improved.
Most importantly: I felt incredible. Energy was stable all day. Brain fog gone. Joint pain gone. Digestive issues resolved.
This wasn't a permanent diet. It was a cleanse. A metabolic reset. An elimination diet taken to its logical conclusion.

Understanding how food reactions work is essential for understanding why you feel the way you do and what you can do about it.
Food reactions fall into two fundamentally different categories, and understanding this distinction is critical.
