I do so love Yiddish! OK. Noshing is not exactly quite right but it has an entertaining ring to it. What you eat as you battle your bipolar, matters. I made a video to discuss this step of my system and I also shared some current events pertinent to me. The video is below and for my non-compliant sites, the link to see the video elsewhere is just below that:

As promised, here is the link to the man who can give you a clearcut, easy map of what to eat, graded by importance level: Tom Venuto’s website

And finally, I will now share my breakfast drink that I eat every day no matter what. If you are someone who actually prefers a liquid (not booze LOL) diet over a solid-foods breakfast, then this will please you.
Ken’s morning ritual shake for muscle growth, mind healing, joint repairing, digestive tract rebuilding, and BIPOLAR defeating wellness:
1. In a blender, dump any frozen fruit you desire to the halfway mark.
2. Pour in orange juice (fresh, not concentrate) to just over the fruit.
3. Fill to the 2/3 mark with water.
4. Dump in 20 - 30 grams of whey protein Get a cheap but quality source of protein here.
5. Pour in 5 grams of glucosamine sulfate Click here for an extremely cheap source of glucosamine sulfate.
6. Dump in 5 to 10 grams of glutamine Click here for an extremely cheap source of glutamine.
*7. If you lift, throw in some creatine which can be found here at Nutrabio or here at ProteinFactory.
Blend slow for a couple seconds then high for about 12 and consume. Takes about half an hour to drink, Faster if you use warmer water to warm up the frozen fruit some (no brain freeze.) I drink this every morning and on gym days, I drink the same powders but with nothing but CranGrape (about a quart) immediately after lifting. I’ll share why in a later post.)
I also take my morning doses of truehope caps and omegabrite caps at this time and on lift days, again with the after lift shake.
Some tips on the supplements:
1. All creatine in the U.S. comes from something like 5 possible manufacturers. Marketing departments then advertise methylated, ester-based, fizzy, pre-digested, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum. The many varieties matter little as far as performance. Pick creatine monohydrate (Basic and cheapest) and call it a day. Honest. On a side note, creatine cannot hurt you and you do NOT need a loading phase.
2. Glutamine is nature’s wonder component. It fixes just about everything inside you. It’s particularly beneficial to the digestive tract and the intestinal walls most of all. That is a key fact. If your digestive tract isn’t functioning well, the best supplements on earth simply pass straight through. Fix your tubes and watch how well your body responds. ALSO - the bulk of your natural opiates are produced in your digestive tract and then shipped to the brain and body. You LITERALLY will be happier if you can improve your digestive tract health. Click here to read the doctor’s book that proves it. Dr. Candace Pert DISOVERED the body’s opiate receptor sites back in the 70s, and later discovered they are not only in our minds but throughout our entire bodies! Then she later discovered the mother lode for production was in the intestines!
3. Glucosamine Sulfate: You don’t need chondroitin on top of it. Chondroitin is a precursor to glucosamine, meaning, after you eat it, your body transforms it to glucosamine. Save your money and just get glucosamine. (This is for healthy joints.)
4. Whey protein heals muscles and injuries but also binds to any meds in your bloodstream to form molecules too large to pass through the blood/brain barrier. Then you excrete them. ***That’s a life-saver of a gem I just handed you there.***
If you’re a woman, smaller person, or non-athlete, then just use 20 grams of protein, same amounts on the others, but cut down the amount of juice and fruit to be able to drink it all.
Sorry. Another huge post. I don’t know about you guys but I’m spent.
Take care and be well!
Ken
Hey Jon!
Great to hear from you again! This comment of yours is what I live for. I knew some people hated the PDF. I remember when was sick, reading off the screen was sometimes impossible and could put me in a rage. And then, some folks want what they want right now, so the PDF worked for them. Now it’s just the softcover.
I will be releasing the book in two areas as an audio. One will be the book in its entirety and one will be as a series of podcasts. I’m considering Kindle as well.
I am very happy that I could help you and I am happy FOR you that you’re feeling relief. Keep at it, it only gets better.
Takes some time to bounce back from bipolar and clean out the cobwebs but you’re doing it!
Fight on,
Ken
Thanks, KEN. I have been drinking this morning breakfast shake since you e mailed it to me a couple of weeks back. It is a great way to start the day and has already shown me results in my symptoms of bipolar.
I also utilize the Truehope caps and follow the program in your book. Things are starting to look up.
GREAT to hear that your book has hit ‘real’ book form…the PDF was a bitch for a spaz like me that has a hard time staring at the computer. WELL WORTH IT, though…and I read it off the computer in 3 days. Congratulations, man. Stay proud. Take it easy and thanks for your direction. Sincerely, Jon Young
