(the Power in a Free-Range Hen Nugget)

No matter the state of demand on these Golden nuggets....Eggs have gotten a bad rap over the years—blamed for cholesterol, feared and sidelined in favor of over-processed protein powders. But it's time to bring them back into the spotlight, because these little orbs are one of nature's most nutrient-dense gifts.

Why a powerhouseyou ask?

Complete Protein: Each egg delivers all 9 essential amino acids, making it a gold standard for muscle repair, hormone production, and cellular function.
Choline-Rich: A vital nutrient for brain health, liver function, and nervous system integrity. Most people are deficient—and eggs are one of the top sources.
Good Fats & Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Especially when pasture-raised, egg yolks are loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K2 (reminder, those are all wildly critical for hormone health and immune regulation).
Eye & Skin Health: Packed with lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that protect the eyes and skin from oxidative stress.

Why Free-Range or Pasture-Raised is

Non-Negotiable:

Conventional eggs from caged chickens simply are not the same food. Hens raised on pasture (or my little backyard) scratch in the dirt, peck at bugs including Wood Ticks, and soak in the sun—resulting in eggs with:

More Omega-3s
Higher Vitamin D
Better taste and richer color
Ethical sourcing that respects both the land and the animal
