If you feel like you’ve done everything to feel your best — and nothing is working — I have a radical idea for you.
Do less, and optimize your dinner plate.
The Modern Malaise
Every day, I hear from people who feel constantly drained.
Dragging through work, managing home, squeezing in health habits — and still waking up tired, achy, foggy.
We try meditation, adaptogens, sleep masks, bulletproof coffee… endless adds.
But sometimes, the real shift comes from subtracting what’s failing and restoring what’s missing — especially nutrients.
The Nutrient–Symptom Map
Your body speaks through symptoms long before lab results catch up.
-
😠 Irritability, restless nerves: often linked to low zinc or magnesium, minerals that regulate your stress response and neurotransmitters.
-
🌫️ Brain fog or low focus: signs of weak B-vitamin status (especially B6, B12, and folate), which drive mitochondrial energy and nerve repair.
-
🤧 Weak immunity or frequent colds: may reflect selenium and zinc depletion — both crucial for antioxidant enzymes and immune signaling.
-
💪 Muscle or joint pain: a mix of low magnesium and vitamin D, two nutrients that help muscles contract, relax, and recover.
Why Pork (and Eggs) Help
Pork is more than protein — it’s nature’s multivitamin in disguise.
Every 6-ounce serving of pastured pork delivers:
-
Over half of your daily B1 (thiamine) — essential for energy production and nerve function.
-
20–30% of your B6 and B12 — both critical for brain clarity and hormone balance.
-
Nearly 40% of your selenium — one of the most powerful antioxidants for thyroid and immune health.
-
Up to 20% of your zinc — the mineral that stabilizes mood, supports repair, and boosts resilience.
-
Plus magnesium, iron, and vitamin D — when pigs live outdoors, their fat and muscle absorb these from soil and sunlight.

In population studies, people who include pork regularly show higher overall nutrient adequacy scores — especially for zinc, selenium, and B vitamins — compared to those who don’t.
That’s the difference between a diet that just fills you up and one that feeds you.
Build From the Ground Up
Most people are nutrient-depleted, not supplement-deficient.
The multivitamin industry exists because our food system is broken. Industrial agriculture strips soil of minerals. Those minerals never make it into your food. So we try to patch the gap with pills.
But your body doesn't recognize isolated nutrients the way it recognizes food. Synthetic vitamins aren't built into the matrix of fats, proteins, and co-factors that make nutrition actually work.
Real food from healthy soil delivers what supplements can't: nutrients in their whole form, the way your body evolved to use them.
Eat well. Move. Sleep. Get sunlight. Start there.
The Regenerative Difference
Our pigs eat what pigs are meant to eat: alfalfa, barley, milk, and oats. No corn. No soy. No herbicides.
They're rotationally grazed to rebuild soil, not strip it. Healthier pastures grow more nutrient-dense forage. Those nutrients move up the food chain — into the pigs, then into you.
The soil they graze on is alive with minerals accumulated over thousands of years. When you eat Late Bloomer Ranch pork, you're getting nutrition that industrial farming can't replicate: bioavailable protein, healthy fats, and trace minerals your body actually recognizes and uses.
This isn't mysticism. It's biology. Better soil makes better food. Better food builds better health.
How to Begin
Start small.
Make one meal count.
Try a Bloom Box — our carefully curated selection of pasture-raised pork, rich in real nutrients that your body actually knows how to use.
Make a slow pork stew. Roast a shoulder with herbs and greens.
Then watch your energy, mood, and sleep shift — not from adding more, but from finally giving your body what it’s been asking for all along.
Behind every thriving body is soil, sun, and foundational nourishment.
Let’s rebuild yours — from the inside out.
