None of the chips in Bobby Parrish’s video are anchor foods for the Intestinal type—chips sit at ‘Moderately’ when you’re strong and drop to ‘Rarely’ when you’re sensitive. We map the video’s corn, potato, and paleo chips (plus Masa’s tallow-fried corn chips) to Carolyn Mein’s food lists, name the least-wrong picks, and give a fresh roasted salsa built on garlic, brown onion, and Spike.
Sweet potato is one of the few anchor foods that stays top-tier for the Intestinal type even under stress, which makes homemade sweet-potato fries the most on-type version of the salty-crunch craving. Here are three ways—oven steak fries at 425°F, crispier air-fryer fries, and thin chips as a bag-of-chips stand-in—all seasoned with butter or ghee and Spike.
A comforting Intestinal-body-type breakfast: soaked steel-cut oats stirred with butter and peanut butter, sweetened with date sugar and sorghum syrup, and topped with chopped dates and frozen blueberries—each add-in chosen against Carolyn Mein’s food lists.
The 20-cent face mask from Dr. Berg, written down honestly. Egg white gives a temporary tightening film; the yolk-and-yogurt upgrade is gentler on dry skin. Twice a week, rinse-off, kitchen-cheap—and not a substitute for the scar salve. Raw-egg safety rules included.
The scar bottle, kept separate from the muscle rub. A quick comfrey + rosehip dropper oil for everyday use, plus a cooked beeswax salve for a firmer balm — both massaged across a fully closed scar. Named oils, honest shelf lives, and the comfrey rules you don’t skip.
The evening bookend to our pre-workout shooter: a warm, calming recovery drink built on magnesium glycinate and ashwagandha, with glycine, L-theanine, and our Liver Breaker herbal formula—rounded out with fish oil and a topical liver oil. Deliberately lean, with honest cautions.
An Intestinal-body-type breakfast granola built on amaranth and basmati rice, sweetened with date sugar and sorghum syrup, and browned with grass-fed butter—every swap chosen to land in the type’s top-tier ‘Frequently’ foods.
A weekly-batch pinto bean method built for digestibility: a long alkaline soak, a pressure cook, discarding the cooking liquid, then fresh vegetables and Indian digestive spices.
Bake a batch of these Functional Baked Nut Butter Protein Bars — a peanut butter and almond butter powerhouse built on rolled oats, almond flour, eggs, and real protein. Loaded with gut-supporting inulin, psyllium, and ginger, plus grass-fed gelatin and dark chocolate, these chewy bars hold together beautifully and give you clean, whole-food fuel without the wrappers, fillers, or mystery ingredients of store-bought protein bars.
Sweat out a hard workout and you lose more than water — you lose potassium, the electrolyte most people never replace. Here’s Bare One K: a blended, whole-food recovery drink built on Dr. Eric Berg’s homemade electrolyte recipe, scaled up to ~2,400 mg of potassium with soaked seeds, greens, and recovery cofactors.
