The Monster Mash

A warm, food-first rebuild for spine, nerves, and recovery.

This is the daily food ritual I have followed for many months, roughly five days per week. It is a warm, whole-food-based rebuild designed to support connective tissue, discs, nerves, circulation, and long-term structural resilience. The foods must be organic, as much as possible. I have chosen the best easily avaliable sourses. These are your healing foods, eat the best ones you can find!

Improved fascial glide Improved recovery Better sleep

How I prepare it

  • 1Dry ingredients into a bowl.
  • 2Boiling water over the powders and seeds; stir thoroughly.
  • 3Cover with a plate; sit about 5 minutes.
  • 4Stir again, then add fats, nuts, and fruit last.

Udo's oil and walnuts are added after the heat step to protect delicate fatty acids.
