Real Food Is a Powerhouse — Not Just a Macro

Let’s talk protein. Everyone’s saying “eat more protein,” and yes — protein is essential. It helps rebuild muscle, keeps our energy steady, and is a key player in hormone and brain health. But here’s the thing:

‍

Protein isn’t just a number. And meat isn’t just protein.

‍

When we choose well-raised, regenerative meat — the kind that’s treated with care and raised with respect — we’re getting so much more than a protein boost.

You’re getting:

• Complete protein to build, repair, and thrive
• B vitamins, zinc, iron, and other bioavailable nutrients your body actually knows how to use
• Healthy fats that help your hormones, stabilize energy, and make other nutrients more absorbable

That’s why, in so many New Leaf Table recipes, you’ll see me use ground beef, chicken thighs, bone broth, or our favorite blends that sneak in organ meats. Not because it’s trendy — but because it’s time-tested nourishment that supports metabolism, mental clarity, and immune strength.

‍

When you choose food that comes from the earth, raised in a way that honors creation — and then pair it with vibrant veggies, healthy fats, and bold flavors — you’ve got more than a “healthy meal.”

‍

You’ve got real nourishment — the kind your body has always known what to do with.

‍

And friend, that’s what we’re all about here.

‍

Let’s keep building meals that actually build us up — not just fill us up.

‍

Happy cooking,
