They swallowed a camera to film what happens inside your stomach. Comment FILM and I’ll send you the entire series, free. @drlibby breaks down the experiment in Transcendence. Two groups. One ate noodles made from scratch — flour, water, a simple broth. The other ate supermarket packet noodles with the sachet, plus a blue sports drink. Both swallowed pill-sized cameras. Four hours later, the homemade meal was gone. Broken down to white fluff. Exactly what’s meant to happen. The packet noodles still had teeth marks in them. Four hours of stomach acid and digestive enzymes, and they’d barely changed shape. And the blue drink had dyed the noodles blue inside the body. That dye is derived from petroleum. We have no mechanism for breaking petroleum down. Libby’s question is the one I keep coming back to: do these things belong in a human body at all? To be straight with you — this was a small demonstration, not a large trial. But I’ve never been able to unsee it. So tell me: packet noodles. Still in your cupboard, or gone for good? 👇 Libby is one of 35 people I sat down with for Transcendence, alongside @drmarkhyman, @thefoodbabe, @drjoshaxe, @thedrtomobryan and @brucelipton. A series about healing, transformation, and reclaiming sovereignty over your body, your mind and your life. Comment FILM for the free series. — James ✌️🐰🕳️ Follow me @james_colquhoun for more like this 🙏 by @foodmatters

The Matrix is a documentary not a sci-fi... So do you want the red pill or the blue pill? Do you want to take control of your reality or let it be controlled by those who seek control? Do you want better health, relationships and abundance? Or do you want to be at the whim of the “system”. The choice is yours. If you want the red pill — to take command of your mind and your reality — the starting point is always education and self empowerment. That’s Bruce Lipton, by the way. One of 35 experts I sat down with for the Transcendence docu-series. Comment FILM and I’ll send you the entire series, free. See you down the rabbit hole. — James by @foodmatters

The women losing belly fat the fastest right now aren’t necessarily using injections. They’re eating meals like these 👇 No extreme diets. No hours of cardio. Just nourishing foods that help reduce inflammation and support the body from the inside out. Because stubborn belly fat is rarely just about calories. It’s often connected to stress, hormones, inflammation, and a body that’s fallen out of balance. Salmon with green vegetables and olive oil Omega-3s support hormonal balance and help reduce inflammation. Lettuce wraps with chicken or turkey, avocado, and fermented vegetables Great for gut health, blood sugar balance, and reducing cravings. Bone broth soup with turmeric, leafy greens, and sweet potato One of the most powerful meals for gut healing and recovery. Eggs with spinach, avocado, and hemp seeds The perfect hormone-friendly breakfast packed with protein and healthy fats. White fish with broccoli, olive oil, and lemon Easy to digest and helps reduce bloating. Stir-fried vegetables with chicken or turkey and cauliflower rice Filling, nutrient-dense, and supports stable blood sugar. Smoothie with collagen, berries, spinach, flaxseed, and coconut cream Supports your gut, hormones, and energy levels.

Some produce absorbs way more pesticide than others, and knowing which is which can save you money without sacrificing safety.⁠ ⁠ Every year, the EWG analyzes USDA data to rank produce by pesticide residue. It's not a "what's hot and what's not" list, it's a guide for where buying organic actually matters, and where it's okay to let it slide.⁠ ⁠ 🧯2026 Dirty Dozen (buy organic or spray-free when you can): spinach, kale/collard/mustard greens, strawberries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, cherries, apples, blackberries, pears, potatoes, blueberries.⁠ ⁠ 🧼 2026 Clean Fifteen (lower pesticide residue, less critical to buy organic): pineapple, sweet corn, avocados, papaya, onions, sweet peas, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, mangoes, bananas, carrots, mushrooms, kiwi.⁠ ⁠ Most Clean Fifteen items share a tougher skin or exterior that's removed before eating, a natural layer of protection.⁠ ⁠ Hopefully this list helps you decide where to put your dollars when it comes to buying organic and non-organic foods. by @foodmatters

These can be signs that your body is dealing with prolonged stress and increased cortisol (or you’re stuck fight and flight mode 😅) MORE COMMON SIGNS that are often overlooked: * A twitching eyelid * Waking up between 2 and 4 a.m. * Compulsively checking things over and over * Often feeling anxious or restless * Needing to urinate frequently * Feeling tired, but wide awake in the evening * Bloating * Bruising easily * Stubborn belly fat * Sugar and salt cravings * Irregular bowel movements * Weak nails * Flaky, itchy skin * Frequent burping and wind Cortisol is a hormone your body needs. It helps with your stress response, blood sugar and energy regulation, among other things. But when your body is under prolonged stress and cortisol levels rise repeatedly, this can affect your sleep, cravings, energy, menstrual cycle, digestion and fat storage. What I’ve learned over the years is that small daily changes often make a much bigger difference than trying to change everything at once. More rest, better sleep, paying attention to nutrition, fewer constant stress triggers, and supporting your body instead of pushing it harder and harder. That’s why we created the Hormone & Stress Reset program—to help you understand your body and build practical daily habits that support your wellbeing through hormonal changes and stressful seasons. 👉 Comment RESET and I’ll send you the link to our Hormone & Stress Reset program. Make sure you’re following me so you don’t miss my message ❤️ by @foodmatters

There's a specific kind of tired that comes from years of Googling your own symptoms at midnight.⁠ ⁠ From sitting in another appointment, nodding along, walking out with more questions than you came in with.⁠ ⁠ From trusting doctor after doctor, protocol after protocol, and still not quite trusting your own body.⁠ ⁠ Healing rarely starts with a diagnosis. It starts with someone finally explaining why, in a way that makes sense and actually stays with you.⁠ ⁠ That's the shift so many of our students describe. Not just what they knew afterward, but who they became on the way there. The person their family started asking for advice. The person other people's pain started making sense to. The person who finally, quietly, started trusting themselves again.⁠ ⁠ If you've spent years being the one who researches, who reads the labels, who asks the questions nobody else in the room thinks to ask, this might be less of a career change than it feels like. It might just be catching up to who you already are.⁠ ⁠ Comment READY and we'll send you everything you need to know. by @foodmatters

For most of human history, food wasn't something that arrived in a box, you hunted it, foraged it, fished it, and fed your family with whatever the land or water gave you that day.⁠ ⁠ We got a real taste of that life living in Vanuatu, where fishing wasn't a hobby, it was how we ate. There's a groundedness that comes with that kind of connection to your food that's hard to find any other way.⁠ ⁠ Most of us can't live like that full time, and that's okay. But the impulse still matters: seeking out the most whole, most real version of food you can find, whether that's a farmer's market or just cooking from scratch.⁠ ⁠ That's the spirit behind these fish tacos. Simple, real, and exactly the kind of food our bodies recognize. ⁠ ⁠ FISH INGREDIENTS⁠ 1 tsp ground cumin⁠ 1/2 tsp ground chili⁠ 1tsp ground paprika⁠ pinch of sea salt⁠ juice of 1 lime⁠ 1 egg⁠ 3 tbsp shredded coconut⁠ 4 tbsp coconut flour⁠ 1 pound white fish (about 500g)- We used local cod⁠ 4-5 tbsp coconut oil for pan frying⁠ ⁠ CABBAGE SLAW⁠ 1/4 thinly sliced cabbage⁠ juice of 1/2 lime⁠ ⁠ YOU'LL ALSO NEED⁠ tortillas (gluten-free if possible)⁠ handful of fresh cilantro (coriander)⁠ diced avocado⁠ ⁠ WHAT TO DO⁠ Dice fish into roughly 2 inch pieces, place in a glass bowl to marinate with lime juice, cumin, paprika, sea salt & chili for 2 hours (or overnight).⁠ Prepare your cabbage salad in a bowl, this can be prepared ahead of time or just before cooking your tortilla's.⁠ Once your fish has finished marinating, remove from the fridge and set up 1 bowl with the whisk egg and another bowl with coconut flour and shredded coconut.⁠ Dip each piece of fish into the egg followed by the flour mixture.⁠ Melt coconut oil in fry pan over medium-high heat and gently pan fry pieces of fish in small batches cooking for 2 minutes on one side, flipping and finishing other side for 1-2 minutes. This will depend on how thick your pieces of fish are.⁠ Serve. by @foodmatters

If I had 90 days to change my health and life, this is where I'd start...⁠ ⁠ I wouldn't start by taking more medication….⁠ ⁠ I'd start by deleting everything that keeps reminding me of who I used to be.⁠ ⁠ Because you cannot build a new life while emotionally living in the old one.⁠ ⁠ The coulda, woulda, shoulda energy? Gone.⁠ ⁠ The guilt over the diet you started but didn't finish…⁠ The embarrassment over the way you look and feel…even after trying so many healing protocols, supplements and wonder drugs…⁠ The version of you who kept saying, ""I should be better by now.""⁠ ⁠ Control. Alt. Delete.⁠ ⁠ I'd start by deleting the things that are keeping my body stuck, removing what's quietly working against me.⁠ ⁠ The ultra-processed foods.⁠ ⁠ The blood sugar rollercoaster.⁠ ⁠ The late-night scrolling stealing your sleep.⁠ ⁠ The chronic stress you've normalized.⁠ ⁠ The gut symptoms you keep covering up instead of asking why.⁠ ⁠ The lack of sunlight, movement, fiber, protein and real food.⁠ ⁠ Control Alt Delete⁠ ⁠ And then I'd look at my HOME.⁠ ⁠ Because your beliefs aren't only living in your head. They're sitting in your closet, hiding in cupboards and on the shelf in your pantry.⁠ ⁠ That dress that makes you feel bad about your body. The clutter in your office. The foods in your cupboard you know are not doing you any good…⁠ ⁠ Your environment is constantly giving your nervous system instructions about who you are.⁠ ⁠ Then I'd rebuild.⁠ ⁠ More whole foods.⁠ More plant foods⁠ More movement.⁠ More morning sunlight.⁠ More restorative sleep.⁠ More time outside.⁠ More attention to what your body is trying to tell you.⁠ ⁠ I'd make my home match the woman I'm becoming.⁠ ⁠ I'd clear what feels heavy.⁠ Release what carries guilt.⁠ Create space before I have proof of what's coming.⁠ And choose routines and beliefs that make my next level feel NORMAL.⁠ ⁠ Imagine walking through your front door and nothing pulls you backward.⁠ ⁠ You don't need to erase your past.⁠ ⁠ You need to stop making it your current identity…⁠ ⁠ Save this for the day you're ready to hit Control + Alt + Delete on your old life, and comment '90Days' if you want support to do this! by @foodmatters

Most people assume a chronic diagnosis means a lifetime of managing symptoms. Medication for this, another medication for the side effects of that, slowly adjusting your expectations for what 'normal' feels like.⁠ ⁠ James's dad, Roy, believed that too, for five years. Chronic fatigue syndrome, a growing list of medications, and a body that kept getting worse no matter what the specialists tried next.⁠ ⁠ What actually changed things wasn't a new medication. It was food, applied properly, in the right order. Within months of changing what Roy ate, he was off every medication he'd been on.⁠ ⁠ That doesn't mean medication is never necessary. It means the plate is usually the missing piece of the conversation, not an optional add-on.⁠ ⁠ Comment GUIDE, and we'll send you the same principles, foods, and recipes that turned things around for Roy, for free. by @foodmatters

If you're exhausted but still can't sleep, you're not lacking willpower; you're missing a signal. Your nervous system needs to know it's safe to rest before your body will let you drift off, and cortisol, unstable blood sugar, and a mind still scanning for threats can all get in the way of that.⁠ ⁠ The good news is that what you drink in the hour before bed can help send that signal. A turmeric latte helps stabilize blood sugar. Chamomile tea (brewed strong, for a full 20-30 minutes) calms the brain through a compound called apigenin. Raw cacao supports the serotonin-to-melatonin pathway. A simple oat and almond shake delivers the minerals that help your body let go.⁠ ⁠ If sleep struggles are one piece of a bigger pattern for you, that's exactly the kind of root cause we work through in our 90-Day Root Cause Healing Program. ⁠ ⁠ Comment 'root cause' for more info. by @foodmatters

Your liver is working around the clock to filter out what doesn't belong in your body. A few everyday exposures make that job a lot harder than it needs to be.⁠ ⁠ Some practical ways to lighten the load:⁠ ✨ Amalgam (mercury) dental fillings — avoid new ones where possible⁠ ✨ High-mercury fish — choose smaller fish like sardines and anchovies instead⁠ ✨ Unfiltered tap water — a good water filter is one of the highest-impact changes you can make⁠ ✨ Non-organic table salt and other easily swapped pantry basics⁠ ✨ Supplements and protein powders that haven't been tested for heavy metals⁠ ⁠ None of this requires perfection. Just fewer unnecessary exposures, so your liver can actually keep up.⁠ ⁠ Comment 90DAYS and we'll send you the details on the 90-Day Root Cause Healing Program, where this becomes a full plan for reducing your toxic load, not just a checklist you're left to figure out alone. by @foodmatters
