A “daily longevity elixir” — supporting repair, digestion, hydration, and metabolic stability simultaneously. This is meant to be a snack or light meal replacement. It will not meet protein needs of a traditional meal. Protein needs to support longevity and muscle density tends to be at least double the protein in this recipe per meal depending on a person’s gender, age and size.

It delivers:

• Fuel → clean fats for sustained energy
• Repair → amino acids for tissue + gut
• Activation → bitters + acids for digestion
• Hydration → electrolytes for cellular function
• Protection → antioxidants for longevity

Recipe

Mix all ingredients below into a blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.

Ingredients:

1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds, one heaping tablespoon of Manuka honey, 1/4 cup of pitted dark cherries, 1 stalk of celery, 1 handful of spinach, one handful of kale, 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1/4 cup of macadamia nuts, 1/4 cup of walnuts, 1 Brazil nut, small handful of (1 ounce) of fresh wheatgrass, 1/2 half lemon juice, ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of flaxseed, 1/2 teaspoon of nutritional yeast flakes, 12 ounces of grass fed beef bone broth, 1 teaspoon of unsweetened pure vanilla extract – again with this one, the serving size and nutrient breakdown should be based on an 8 oz. serving (this recipe should yield two servings)

Hormonal + Metabolic Support

• Healthy fats → hormone production
• Stable glucose → reduces cortisol spikes

Health Considerations / Contraindications

1. Vitamin K (Still Very High)

• ~150–250% DV

• Bone broth may trigger:
  • Headaches
  • Skin reactions
    Use fresh/low-histamine broth if needed

3. Digestive Sensitivity

  • Bloating (initially)
    Best approach: Start with smaller servings if needed

4. Sodium Content

• ~300–500 mg per serving

5. Oxalates

• Spinach + seeds contribute
  Rotate greens for long-term use
