Why Sleep Should Be Your First Health Priority

•

Sleep is often the first thing we sacrifice and the last thing we prioritize. But quality sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a non-negotiable foundation for health. From mood and memory to stress management, immune function, and even detoxification, sleep supports nearly every aspect of our well-being. Yet, good sleep doesn’t always come easy. Factors like stress, diet, screen exposure, and hormonal imbalances can disrupt our ability to fall asleep—and stay asleep. If you’ve been struggling with restless nights or waking up feeling anything but refreshed, it may be time to explore a more holistic approach. We’re passionate about supporting foundational health—and sleep sits right at the top. Our Sleep Stack Bundle features three targeted supplements, each chosen for its unique ability to support your body’s natural rhythms and help you get the deep, restorative rest you need. BALANCE – Bioavailable Magnesium Bicarbonate Magnesium is often referred to as the “miracle mineral” for a reason. It’s involved in over 40% of the body’s enzymatic reactions, many of which are directly tied to energy production, brain function, and stress regulation. Our Balance formula uses a unique blend of magnesium hydroxide with sodium and potassium bicarbonate to create magnesium bicarbonate—a highly absorbable form that your body can use with maximum efficiency. The result? Deeper relaxation, reduced nighttime restlessness, and better-quality sleep. Magnesium’s role in calming the nervous system and facilitating neurotransmitter function makes it a cornerstone of any effective sleep routine. TORO – The Power of Taurine Taurine might sound familiar—it’s often found in energy drinks—but its real superpower lies in its ability to support the nervous system. Taurine helps stimulate the release of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and eases anxiety. Rather than overstimulating the body, taurine acts as a balancer—calming the mind while supporting metabolic health. Incorporating Toro into your evening routine can help quiet mental chatter, reduce stress-induced restlessness, and prepare your body for a deeper, more restorative sleep cycle. GLYCINE – Your Circadian Rhythm Ally Glycine is a simple amino acid with profound benefits. As an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it supports relaxation, helps reduce core body temperature before bed, and plays a key role in resetting your internal clock—your circadian rhythm. Research has shown that glycine can improve both the quality and efficiency of sleep, reduce next-day fatigue, and even enhance cognitive performance. Our high-purity L-Glycine is designed to work in harmony with your body’s natural systems, making it a trusted ally for anyone looking to restore healthy sleep patterns. Why a Sleep Stack? Each of these supplements offers powerful individual benefits—but when combined, they create a synergistic effect that supports both the body and brain through every phase of the sleep cycle. Our Sleep Stack Bundle is a targeted, easy-to-integrate solution to help you sleep more soundly, wake more refreshed, and feel more balanced throughout your day. Because when sleep improves, everything else follows.

Liver Flush Protocol

•

Why flush the liver? Over time, toxins and sludgy bile can accumulate in the liver and gallbladder. This can lead to bloating, sluggish digestion, hormonal imbalances, and low energy. A liver flush helps move that congestion out—so your body can do what it’s designed to do. You may notice improved digestion, metabolism, appetite, and even emotional clarity after completing a flush. Adam has refined a liver flush protocol inspired by Andreas Moritz and Hulda Clarke—something he’s done 16+ times with incredible results. This method is gentle, effective, and sustainable. We are not medical practitioners and this is not medical advice. Always consult a practitioner if you’re unsure this is right for you. Day 1-5: Prep Drink 1L+ of organic apple juice daily (or use malic acid supplements) for 5–6 days before flushing. This softens bile and gallstones. Continue with a health-promoting diet with local, seasonal carb sources where possible, pasture-raised meats, eggs, and dairy. Additions: Tart cherry + sea salt + lemon + sparkling water for a hydration drink (extra malic acid from cherry) Bitter greens in salads or cooked as a side. Digestive bitter tinctures also promote bile flow. Take TUDCA MAX in the morning on an empty stomach. Tudca promotes bile flow. Take digestive enzymes. I recommend @mitolife Digest-it-All Coffee enemas Day 5: Flush Do not consume fatty foods or significant protein consumption. Stop taking supplements/coffee/bitters/etc. Only take the malic acid, before noon. Breakfast: Oatmeal cooked in water, or low-fat milk, with maple syrup Lunch (BEFORE 1 pm*): White rice with sea salt or tamari After 1pm: Only water onwards Flush Protocol Mix 60g Magnesium Citrate (Calm) into 800ml of water. Prepare citrus juice for later. 6pm: Drink 200ml of Mag mixture 8pm: Drink 200ml of Mag mixture 10pm: Drink 1/2 cup grapefruit or lemon juice shaken with 1/2 cup olive oil and then go directly to bed. Lay on your right side. Day 6 6am: Drink 200ml of Mag mixture 8am: Drink 200ml of Mag mixture 10am: Resume eating and drinking as normal. Afternoon/evening: Coffee enema or water enema. Expect bowel movements the next morning that help flush out bile and debris. Rest, hydrate, and nourish your body gently afterward. Evening/next day: Use binders and natural laxatives (cascara/oxypowder) or more ememas if necessary to keep bowels moving and continue flushing further bile.

Bioavailability: Why It Matters More Than You Think

•

When it comes to supplements, many people assume that what’s on the label is what your body receives. You take your daily multivitamin, maybe a few targeted nutrients, and trust that your body is benefiting from them. But the truth is, not all supplements are created equal—and more importantly, not all supplements are equally absorbed. This is where the concept of bioavailability comes in. Bioavailability refers to how much of a nutrient your body can absorb and actually use. It’s a critical factor in the effectiveness of any supplement, and yet, it’s often overlooked. You could be taking the right nutrients at the right dosages, but if your body can’t access them, it won’t make a meaningful difference. Understanding the Role of Bioavailability Think of bioavailability as the bridge between what you take and what your body can actually use. If a supplement has low bioavailability, it means much of the nutrient passes through your system without being absorbed. This doesn’t just limit the benefit—it also wastes your money and gives a false sense of support. For example, a multivitamin might list 100% of your daily value for various nutrients, but if those nutrients are in poorly absorbed forms or are paired with fillers that interfere with digestion, your body won’t get the full benefit. It’s not about how much you take—it’s about how much your body can use. What Influences Nutrient Absorption? Several factors influence a supplement’s bioavailability. One of the most important is the form of the nutrient. Some forms are more biologically active and ready for absorption, while others require conversion processes that your body may not perform efficiently. A good example is vitamin B9: the bioavailable form, L-5-methyl folate, is ready for use immediately, while the synthetic form, folic acid, must be converted in the body—and many people can’t make that conversion effectively. The delivery method also matters. Liquid supplements and clean capsules tend to offer better absorption because they dissolve easily and don’t contain unnecessary binders or coatings. In contrast, many tablets contain fillers, binders, and other additives that not only reduce bioavailability but can also irritate the digestive system. Another consideration is whether a nutrient is fat-soluble or water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins—like A, D, E, and K—require dietary fat to be absorbed properly. If these vitamins aren’t paired with a fat source in your supplement, your body may struggle to absorb them. However, the type of fat used also matters, which brings us to another key point. The Problem With PUFA-Based Oils Many supplement brands pair fat-soluble vitamins with carrier oils, but not all oils are equal. Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-based oils like soybean or sunflower oil are commonly used because they’re inexpensive. Unfortunately, these oils are highly prone to oxidation—especially when exposed to heat, light, or air. Once oxidized, they can contribute to inflammation and cellular stress in the body. At LifeBlud, we avoid PUFA-based oils altogether. Instead, we use only clean, stable fats like MCT oil and organic olive oil to support absorption without the oxidative stress. In our products like Antidote (Vitamin E) and Regulate (Vitamin K2), these carrier oils help deliver nutrients effectively while supporting overall cellular health. Why Ingredient Quality and Simplicity Matters Beyond the nutrient form and delivery method, it’s important to pay attention to everything else that’s included in your supplement. Fillers, artificial colours, synthetic preservatives, and other unnecessary ingredients can interfere with how your body absorbs nutrients—or cause irritation that throws your gut off balance. That’s why we keep our formulas simple and intentional. Every ingredient we include has a clear purpose. If it doesn’t support absorption or function, it doesn’t make the cut. We also avoid trends and buzzwords. Our focus is on formulations that work with your body, not just look good on a label. The LifeBlud Approach to Bioavailability At LifeBlud, bioavailability is the foundation of every formula we create. We believe that effective supplementation isn’t about megadoses or trendy ingredients—it’s about giving your body nutrients in the most usable, absorbable forms possible. That means: • Using only the most bioavailable forms of nutrients • Avoiding synthetic fillers and binders • Steering clear of PUFA-based oils • Choosing clean carrier oils to support absorption We’re committed to creating supplements that truly support your health—from the inside out. Because when your body can absorb what you’re giving it, that’s when the real benefits begin.

Why You Should Care About the Quality of Your Supplements

•

Not all supplements are created equal. Many brands cut corners, using cheap ingredients and unnecessary fillers that can do more harm than good. At LifeBlud, we believe in full transparency and only provide high-quality, effective supplements. Unlike generic brands, ours contain zero additives—just pure, bioavailable nutrients. Here’s why you should pay close attention to what’s inside your supplements. Heavy Vitamin E Supplements Can Be Harmful Many generic Vitamin E supplements use sunflower or soybean oil, which are high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs).These fats are unstable, prone to oxidation, and may actually contribute to oxidative stress—the very thing Vitamin E is supposed to protect against. Fillers & Additives Many mainstream brands use fillers, preservatives, and artificial ingredients to bulk up their products, extend shelf life, or make manufacturing easier. Common harmful additives to look out for: Magnesium stearate – used as a flow agent but may reduce nutrient absorption. Silicon dioxide & titanium dioxide – anti-caking agents with no nutritional value. Artificial colours & preservatives – unnecessary chemicals that may have long-term health impacts. Why Bioavailability Matters Just because a supplement contains a certain nutrient doesn’t mean your body can use it efficiently. Many brands rely on cheap, synthetic forms of vitamins and minerals that are poorly absorbed. We use pure mixed tocopherols, the natural form of Vitamin E, instead of synthetic alpha-tocopherol. Our base oil is organic olive oil or MCT oil, which enhances nutrient absorption without adding harmful polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). What makes us different? At LifeBlud, we prioritize purity, potency, and effectiveness. There are no unnecessary additives in our products. No cheap ingredients. No junk. Every product we create is something we would take ourselves—because your health deserves the best. Antidote avoids PUFAs entirely and uses a clean, high-quality oil base to enhance absorption without adding inflammatory oils.

Eating with the Seasons: The Power of Local and Seasonal Foods

•

It’s easy to overlook the simple wisdom of eating with the seasons. Rotating key food sources based on seasonal availability is one of the best ways to maximize nutrient intake, support overall health, and stay in sync with nature’s rhythms. Not only does this approach diversify your diet, but it also prevents overconsumption of certain foods to the point of imbalance or toxicity. We’ll explore the benefits of seasonal eating and highlight some key foods to include throughout the year. Spring: A Time for Cleansing and Renewal Spring marks a time of growth and renewal, making it the perfect season to integrate bitter greens and detoxifying foods into your diet. In traditional Chinese medicine, spring is associated with liver support, and consuming foods that promote bile secretion and enzyme stimulation can aid digestion and detoxification. Bitter Greens: Dandelion greens, arugula, chicory, and mustard greens help support liver function and digestion. Ripe Fruit/Fruit Juice: A rich source of digestible carbohydrates, vitamin C, minerals, and antioxidants. Opt for seasonal fruits that are readily available to you, and if the fruit isn’t ripe, stew or cook it to increase its digestibility. Raw Carrot Salad: A simple mix of shaved carrots, olive oil, vinegar, and sea salt can help sweep the colon, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and support hormone balance. Summer: Light and Hydrating Foods The warmth of summer calls for hydrating foods that provide quick energy and essential nutrients without weighing the body down. Simple Carbohydrates: Easily digestible carbs such as ripe fruit, honey, maple syrup, and even white sugar can help maintain energy levels. Grass-Fed Dairy: Fresh milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, butter, and sour cream provide a full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Shellfish: Oysters, shrimp, and scallops are packed with protein and trace minerals like zinc, iodine, and selenium, which support thyroid health. Fall: Harvest and Preparation for Colder Months As temperatures get colder, heartier foods are ready for harvest. Root vegetables and nutrient-dense proteins help build strength and provide warmth. Root Vegetables and Squashes: Well-cooked squashes and potatoes provide caloric density and essential nutrients. Grass-Fed Red Meat: Bison, beef, elk, venison, or buffalo provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and iron. Eating nose-to-tail—including organ meats like liver—ensures a wide range of nutrients for overall wellness. Eggs: Rich in vitamin A, cholesterol, and choline, eggs are a powerhouse for brain and liver health. Winter: Warming and Strengthening Foods During the colder months, the body benefits from nutrient-dense, warming foods that provide sustained energy and nourishment. Bone Broth & Collagen: Slow-simmered bone broth, shanks, short ribs, and chuck roasts provide collagen, which supports joint health, skin elasticity, and gut healing. Liver: The MVP of superfoods, liver offers concentrated amounts of vitamin A, copper, and essential B vitamins, supporting immune function and energy production. Well-Cooked Carbohydrates: Squashes and potatoes can provide the necessary energy and comfort during winter. By aligning your diet with the changing seasons, you are not only nourishing your body with the best possible foods, but also respecting nature’s inherent wisdom. Each season brings its own set of challenges and needs, and by eating accordingly, you can optimize your health and well-being year-round. LifeBlud's philosophy is that food is medicine, and nature provides us with exactly what we need at the right time. By focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense, seasonal foods, we can experience greater vitality, resilience, and overall wellness.

What does "Bioenergetics" mean?

•

Bioenergetics is the perspective that views humans as energy dependent organisms, and that all structure and function is reliant on the production, flow, and utilization of energy. This perspective is inspired by the works of Dr. Raymond Peat, Albert Szent-Gyorgi, Otto Warburg, Gerald Pollock, Gilbert Ling, and others. The principles of bioenergetics refute almost all of allopathic, mainstream, and conventional biology and medicine. The true bioenergetic perspective sees humans as electro-magnetic beings that operate within but also beyond the purely material. Since Gilbert Ling had irrefutably proven that cell membranes, and sodium/potassium pumps can not possibly exist, it has opened up a whole new world for us to understand biology in new and alternative ways. This leads us to new possibilities of understanding illness, disease, and wellness from a true holistic perspective, integrating light, water, electricity, magnetism, polarity, frequency/vibration/resonance/sound, into our understanding of the material and chemical. Some other concepts that have been disproven, and are not compatible with bioenergetics are: - cell pumps and channels- pathogens (microorganisms) as the cause of illness- genetics as the cause of heredity and disease- DNA as fixed and stable- existence of other cellular machinery (ribosomes, endoplastic reticulum etc) Bioenergetics provide a holistic view of the body in the sense that it follows the concept that all physical dysfunction can be corrected through reparation of the energy production. This is because the entire system, at every location, organ, and tissue in the body requires energy to perform its functions. The flow of energy is facilitated by all of the physical, and non-physical input and information that our bodies get. Starting very importantly with our food, water, and air, and beyond that, to how we interact with nature, our thoughts, relationships, and more. Damage, dysfunction, and disease can all be seen as cellular energy impairments at a certain location in the body. These could be caused by a countless number of things, but can be remedied by restoring the energy production, and removing toxicities or pollutants that could be impeding the flow of energy. How does LifeBlud fit in? All of the LifeBlud products are designed with two main goals: 1. Supporting, improving, and optimizing energy production and coherent biological structure and function. 2. Sourcing the highest quality materials on the market, and formulating them with no filler, and the cleanest and most beneficial ingredient list possible.LifeBlud is here to provide you with an all-star roster of tools which you can use contextually, applying your own knowledge, experience, personal insight, and intuition, to improve your physical and mental function and well being.
