I don't eat five burgers a week (although that sounds dreamy), but I enjoy animal protein daily. Three things are of utmost importance to me:
Quality
Profitable ranches and happy animals
Sustainability
After speaking with ButcherBox founder Mike Salguero, I know that BB checks all of these boxes. ButcherBox visits the farms and fisheries to ensure quality. They know the farmers and fishermen and pay them fairly. They contract with small farms and fisheries to ensure smaller harvests and, thus, sustainability.

I don't eat five burgers a week (although that sounds dreamy), but I enjoy animal protein daily. Three things are of utmost importance to me:
- Quality
- Profitable ranches and happy animals
- Sustainability
After speaking with ButcherBox founder Mike Salguero, I know that BB checks all of these boxes. ButcherBox visits the farms and fisheries to ensure quality. They know the farmers and fishermen and pay them fairly. They contract with small farms and fisheries to ensure smaller harvests and, thus, sustainability.
It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and I got to sit down with Mike, the founder.
I'm always interested to understand a person's WHY.
WHY did you start that business, or WHY do you feel that way about a topic?
His WHY made me a bit emotional. His wife was ill, and they were trying to find grass-fed beef for the recommended anti-inflammatory diet. They couldn't do it, so they bought half a cow! They couldn't eat it all, so they sold the meat to friends, and ButcherBox was born.
Mike is a visionary who genuinely wants to make high-quality protein available to everyone, no matter their budget.

I LOVE HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN.
Years ago, I had no clue what I was doing in the kitchen. I asked my chef friend, Gina, "How do you make chicken taste better?" She told me, "Boneless, skinless, tasteless." She explained that cooking with the bone adds flavor, moisture, and even a nutrient boost.
Fast forward to today, and finding bone-in chicken can be a challenge. That’s why I love ButcherBox! They offer free-range, organic bone-in chicken thighs, checking all my boxes. And right now, you can get free bone-in chicken thighs in every box—up to three pounds for the next year! Plus, enjoy $30 off your first box.

The Wave Block
DID YOU KNOW: Kids' skulls absorb 10x more radiation than adult ones?
And that nurseries and Kindergarten classrooms in Europe and China have banned Wifi to protect kids.
Technology is NOT GOING AWAY, so let's figure out how to manage the risk of using it. I always have this product on my headphones! I'm not too fond of the idea of radiation going into my head, and this product from Wave Block has been tested, and it shows that it can reduce
the amount of radiation by 90+%
