In this weekly post, I share with you my most interesting discoveries of the week, including the latest news on the fronts of fitness, nutrition, health, wellness, biohacking, and anti-aging research. I also recap my upcoming events and special announcements so you can keep up with opportunities to learn, giveaways, discounts, and more!
You know I’m all about experimenting in the kitchen, whipping up delicious recipes to share with you that feature clean, healthy ingredients—because there shouldn’t be room for garbage like emulsifiers or refined sugars in your meals.
Why? Because these additives wreak havoc on your body in ways you might not realize.
Overconsumption of seed oils contributes to chronic inflammation, which is linked to conditions like heart disease, arthritis, and mental health issues, while refined sugars spike blood sugar levels, leading to insulin resistance, weight gain, and energy crashes. Additionally, artificial ingredients harm gut health by disrupting beneficial bacteria essential for digestion, immunity, and mental clarity.
Together, these hidden threats create a storm of imbalance in your body—impairing hormone production, interfering with cellular health, and paving the way for long-term disease.
One of the sneakiest culprits hiding in your kitchen cabinet or refrigerator? Condiments, dressings… and yes, even hot sauces. 😢
While traditional hot sauce is a simple blend of peppers, vinegar, water, salt, and spices, way too many commercial brands sneak in unnecessary junk like sugar (seriously, why does hot sauce need sugar?!), seed oils, and artificial additives.
If you’re anything like me, adding a little spice to your meals isn’t just a preference—it’s a way of life. Whether it’s drizzled on eggs, stirred into soups, or slathered on grilled meats, that extra kick of heat is non-negotiable.
But why should you have to choose between bold flavor and your well-being?
Now you don’t!
I’m excited to announce that I recently teamed up with Joey’s Hot Sauce to create something that checks all the boxes: Ben’s Blaze Hot Sauce—a clean, *fiery* blend of organic, sustainably sourced ingredients that brings bold flavor to your meals without compromising your health goals.
For this health-conscious hot sauce, we kept it simple:
❌ No refined sugars
❌ No seed oils
❌ No artificial ingredients
This sauce is a flavor explosion in every bite, crafted to elevate your meals with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Imagine the fiery boldness of habaneros, the rich depth of cherry bomb peppers, and the sweet, smoky notes of Jimmy Nardello peppers from Southern Italy, all roasted and fire-blazed to perfection. It’s a mouthwatering, irresistible kick that brings your dishes to life, all while using only the finest organic, sustainably sourced ingredients.
Additionally, adding Ben’s Blaze Hot Sauce to your meals allows you to reap the benefits of peppers. For instance, poblano peppers alone deliver a hefty dose of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and since most hot sauces are ultra-low-calorie, you can spice things up without tipping the calorie scale. That’s exactly why hot sauce is one of my favorite diet and pantry staples that I always have on hand.
I’m not kidding when I say I use this stuff on everything—meats, fish, noodles, you name it. Joey’s sauces, especially this small-batch Ben’s Blaze, have become a staple in my kitchen.
