Buckwheat Bread

Our society currently eats tremendous amounts of grains. The problem with this is that it very hard for humans to digest grains because of something called phytic acid. Phytic acid is natures protective coating on all nuts, grains, seeds, and legumes. The only way to consume these foods so they are digestible is to soak them beforehand.


-Soak 2-4 cups of whole organic buckwheat covered in spring water for 2 days. The buckwheat will begin to sprout as it reaches for the light.
-Pour out the water after 2 days and rinse off the remaining phytic acid
-Put the buckwheat in a food processor along with sea salt and a small amount of baking powder. You can also add a spice to the mix. I like adding caraway seeds. Blend mixture
-Place the mixture in a stainlesss steel or ceramic bread pan. It is best to coat the pan with coconut oil so the bread does not stick. Also smear some coconut oil on top of the mix
-Place in the oven at 250° for 1.5-2 hours depending on how soft you would like the middle

Making your own brazil nut milk

I got this recipe from fellow CHEK Practitioner Michael Jocson. It is a great substitute to cow or goat milk. It is best to purchase raw organic nuts whenever possible.

Soak the Brazil nuts for 8 hours in spring water
Take 1 1/2 cups of the nuts and put them in a food processor
Add 1 1/2-2 cups of spring water to the food processor and blend until smooth
Strain the nuts through a cheese cloth. Squeeze out as much milk as possible
Add 1 tsp of sea salt, 1 tsp of coconut oil, and 1 tsp of raw honey if you want it sweeter
Transfer the milk to a glass container and store in the fridge. It keeps for about a week
Enjoy, Kyle

Our Waste/Becoming Sustainable

Have you ever thought about how much waste you or your family produces in a given day, week etc? Where does all that waste go? It doesn't just magically disappear. I was surprised to recently learn that there is a swirling floating garbage dump twice the size of the US in the North Pacific Ocean. Most of it is plastic debris from our land trash. We are constantly polluting our groundwater with our waste. There are some simple tips to reduce how much we throw away.
1. Recycle-we have all heard that we should recycle but do you do it? The typical curbside pickup programs will take glass, plastic, paper, tin/steel cans, and aluminum cans. It is getting easier and more things can now be recycled like cellphones/electronics, ink cartridges, flourescent lights which when broken release mercury and argon into the air, and motor oil and paint. Go out of your way to recycle.
2. Compost-instead of just tossing all your food scraps into the trash you can compost them and use the soil for your own garden.
3.Buy things with minimal packaging-this is self explanatory
4.Conserve water-we are already seeing massive water shortages around the world and now in the US. The south east has got it pretty bad. You can cut your use down by not using the dishwasher, cutting showers short, and flushing the toilet only when there is stool in it.

Mother Nature is begging for our help to cool all the fires that we have started. We can all take steps to become more sustainable and live in harmony with the earth. Next time you are going throw something away consider where it will end up. Be well, Kyle

What my diet looks like

Most people that know me know that I eat quite differently than the average person, but don't really know the specifics of my meals. So....I thought I would share the last couple of days with you. Currently I am on the antifungal diet so it looks a little different than usual. I have cut out all grains, potatoes, and dairy except yogurt.

Day 1
Breakfast-pork livers dredged in coconut flour and cooked in butter, mashed cauliflower w/coconut milk, carrot juice with apple cider vinegar
Lunch-pork livers, mashed cauliflower
Dinner-pork livers, mashed cauliflower
Snacks-crispy cashews

Day 2
Breakfast-Lamb chop cooked in coc oil, steamed greens with butter, carrot juice with apple cider vinegar and coconut oil
Lunch-Goat leg slow cooked in oven with herbs and garlic, broccoli cooked in coc oil
Dinner-Goat leg, broccoli
Snack-yogurt with blueberries and crispy pecans

Day 3
Breakfast-Ground chicken patties mixed with celery and onion fried in coc oil, asparagus
Lunch-Chicken legs/thighs, asparagus
Dinner-Chicken legs/thighs, avocado, steamed spinach
Snack-green apple with raw cashew butter

I always cook with the highest quality ingredients I can get. Organic produce and free range organic meats. I try to rotate my meats each day and cook extras so I don't have to cook three meals a day. It is so easy to cook and eat well once you get the hang of it.
Be well, Kyle
