New Discoveries
The Benefits Of Eating The Whole Chicken (& Where To Find Clean Birds!) 🐓🍗
You might think I’m a little intense when it comes to how I eat chicken. But here’s the deal—I eat the whole chicken. Yep, bones, gizzards, skin, and all. Why? Because that’s where the real nutrition is hiding.
Most people toss the carcass into a pot for bone broth and discard the gizzards, but I say, why waste it? The collagen, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals like zinc are exactly what your body craves for strength, recovery, and resilience. I'm all about eating nose-to-tail and getting every last bit of goodness from your food.
Now, sourcing clean, high-quality chicken is critical. That’s why I always go for pasture-raised birds from US Wellness Meats. No antibiotics, no hormones, and no “dirty birds” here—just clean, nutrient-dense chicken that tastes delicious.
When it comes to cooking chicken, I'm aiming for a combination of crispy skin, a spicy-sweet buffalo sauce, and locked-in flavor, all while keeping the nutrients intact.
My go-to is a simple but powerful recipe (which you’ll find in my cookbook, Boundless Kitchen, too). I piece apart the chicken, keep the skin on for those essential hormone precursors, and smother it with Primal Kitchen’s avocado oil-based buffalo sauce. I’ll also add:
- Colima Sea Salt for a mineral-rich, low-toxin seasoning.
- A drizzle of Manukora Honey for a sweet antioxidant punch that helps neutralize carcinogens during cooking
- Extra avocado oil to crisp up the skin to perfection.
- Then, I roast the chicken at 375°F, using a temp probe to pull it at 156°F (it continues cooking as it rests).
And that's my world-famous sweet and spicy roasted chicken recipe. It's super moist, crispy-skinned, flavor-packed chicken that’s a nutritional powerhouse. And yes, I eat the carcass too. Why waste all that flavor and collagen-rich goodness?
If you want to experience this for yourself, grab a clean bird from US Wellness Meats (my #1 source for quality chicken) and check out the full breakdown of how I cook a whole chicken in the video.

📢 This Week in Health & Performance: What the Latest Research Says 🚀
⚡ Fasted Exercise & Metabolism: A meta-analysis of 28 randomized controlled trials found that fasted exercise led to greater post-exercise increases in blood glucose and insulin, along with a larger drop in free fatty acids—likely because the body is mobilizing its own energy stores (read the study here).
🍞 Why Sourdough Resists Mold: Sourdough bread naturally breaks down linoleic acid into antifungal compounds, helping it resist mold longer than conventional bread—just another reason to love this ancient fermentation process (read more here).
🌿 CBD & Sleep: The Dosage Dilemma: A new study claims cannabinoids don’t help with sleep, but here's the catch—it only used a tiny 10mg dose of CBD. For real sleep support, higher doses (like 100mg) may be more effective (check it out here).
📌 Key Takeaway: From fasted workouts to ancient bread hacks and the truth about CBD dosing, this week’s research offers fresh insights to upgrade your health game.

Product Of The Week
::: Upgrade Your Oral Health With 15% Off SuperTeeth 🦷 :::
You brush. You floss. Maybe you even use fancy, expensive mouthwash. But here’s the harsh truth… most oral care routines completely ignore the root cause of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Taking great care of your teeth and gums all comes down to your oral microbiome.
See, your mouth is teeming with bacteria—some good, some bad. When the bad guys take over, you’re stuck with cavities, inflamed gums, and chronic bad breath. Even worse? The bacteria in your mouth don’t just stay there. They can travel to your gut, your cardiovascular system, your nervous system, and basically, your entire body.
That’s why I’m a fan of SuperTeeth, the first oral care brand that uses science-backed probiotics specifically designed to restore balance to your mouth’s microbiome. These probiotics don’t just help heal your gums, teeth, and breath—they support whole-body health, too.
Here’s why I recommend SuperTeeth:
✅ Root cause healing: Probiotics that support the health of your entire mouth, tackling cavities, gum disease, and bad breath at the source.
✅ Whole-body benefits: Because your mouth is the gateway to your body, improving oral health means supporting your gut, brain, and cardiovascular system too.
✅ Clean ingredients Only: No fluoride, no SLS, no toxic fillers or dyes—just science-backed, non-toxic, family-safe formulas.
✅ Clinically proven: Every product is grounded in clinical research, delivering real results you can feel, smell, and taste.
✅ Full transparency: Full ingredient lists are right on the product pages. No weird stuff, no secrets.
Because I’m all about clean, effective, and simple biohacks, I consider this an easy win for better health without even really needing to change your routine. Simply swap out your current oral care products for SuperTeeth, and let the probiotics do the heavy lifting.
