Chips & Salsa for the Intestinal Body Type (Which Chips Actually Fit — Bobby Parrish's Picks & Masa)

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 Fries & Chips for the Intestinal Body Type (Butter, Spike, Three Ways)

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.
