HELP!
Reading labels takes a lot of time, and even with a science degree, I have a hard time figuring out what's good and what's bad.
If I'm struggling, I guess you are as well.
Food companies must convince you that their product is the best item on the supermarket shelves. Their marketing message is on the front, and the truth is on the back.
For example, I picked up a package of high-protein chips at Costco. The front of the package said, "made with the highest quality ingredients." Well, that's great. I flipped the bag over and saw they use canola, sunflower, and safflower oils. These oils are highly inflammatory AND highly processed, NOT GREAT.
I hate to say it, but you'll need to assume that most food companies are not going to tell you the truth.
It reminds me of that movie with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keeton, Something's Gotta Give. In it, he tells her, "I've always told you some version of the truth," and she responds, "The Truth Doesn't Have Versions!"
Unfortunately, there are many versions of the truth in the food world.
If you'd like some quick food hacks, my podcast guest, Keith Bishop, has plenty of them!
Keith is the guest that always shocks me, and he definitely did with today's episode. It's a shorter episode with loads of takeaways.

Toups and Co
It's happened...I'm putting beef tallow on my face, and my skin looks lush, and it doesn't smell like a hamburger :)
I've seen the TikTok videos about beef tallow. I avoided trying it because it sounded like I'd be putting grease on my face.
Enough people asked me about it, so I started reading more information and trying out various tallows.
There was one company that stood out to me.
I feel like I hit a home run with the brand Toups and Co.
I first heard of this brand on a friend's podcast (Holistic Hilda with the Weston A Price Foundation). She interviewed the founder, Emily Toups. She was a mom looking for a solution to her child's skin issues. She was frustrated with the lack of progress with drugstore and prescription meds, so she reached out to a local farmer for tallow.
The rest, as they say, is history. Her daughter is healed, and my skin looks great, haha!
Thank you, Toups Family, for making such excellent products and offering my community a 15% discount.
I'm currently using:
Frankincense Skim Balm
Blue Tansy Body Oil
The Nourishing Skin Care Set (this includes skin balm, body oil, tinted lip chap, and a tallow bar—and it's on sale!).
Deodorant - it really works!
