Collagen

The organic building blocks of proteins. Nine of these are "essential" and must be obtained from food (e.g., pasture-raised eggs, wild salmon) because the body cannot synthesize them.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), which are critical for muscle protein synthesis and reducing workout-induced fatigue.

The body's primary source of glucose. Divided into simple sugars (fast-burning) and complex carbs (slow-burning, like sweet potatoes or sprouted oats).

Dietary fats, vital for hormone production, brain health, and joint lubrication. Sources include wild salmon, avocados, and pasture-raised eggs.

Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA/DHA) that act as powerful anti-inflammatories and compose brain cell membranes. Sourced from wild salmon.

The ratio of protein content relative to total calories. High protein density foods maximize muscle repair while managing energy intake.
