This gluten-free Teriyaki Tempeh is a delicious and nutrient-dense dish that fits perfectly into an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. It’s rich in high-quality plant protein, iron, zinc, copper, vitamin C, and vitamin B12—essential nutrients for hemoglobin synthesis and healthy blood function.

As a fermented soybean product, tempeh supports optimal digestion and gut health, which is vital for nutrient absorption. Many digestive or intestinal conditions can impair your body’s ability to absorb iron and other vital nutrients, but the Eat Burn Sleep (EBS) lifestyle works to restore balance, allowing your body to access what it needs from food more efficiently. This makes Teriyaki Tempeh a powerful addition to any diet aimed at healing and prevention.

Tempeh also supports the brain and nervous system, promotes healthy blood cell production, and aids in DNA synthesis. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients while also acting as a natural source of probiotics, helping to support a diverse and thriving gut microbiota.

Our teriyaki sauce is naturally gluten-free, making this dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. It’s sweet, savory, and full of umami, offering a comforting and satisfying flavor profile that pairs perfectly with stir-fried vegetables, rice, or salad.

Whether you’re looking to support your immune system, boost energy, or eat more plant-based meals, Teriyaki Tempeh is a tasty, health-forward option.

If you’re looking for a savory, crunchy, and satisfying snack that’s also packed with nutrients, these Cheesy Kale Chips are for you. Best of all, they’re completely dairy-free, thanks to nutritional yeast, which gives them that irresistible cheesy flavor without any cheese at all.

Nutritional yeast is a powerhouse of B vitamins, especially B12, essential for energy production, brain health, and the nervous system. It also adds protein and trace minerals, making these chips more than just a snack—they’re a health-boosting treat.

Kale itself is a superfood, rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and kaempferol, which possess powerful anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting properties. It’s also packed with fiber, vitamin K, vitamin C, calcium, and iron, making it a smart choice for supporting bone health, digestion, and blood function.

When you bake kale into chips, it transforms into something delightfully crispy and flavorful, and thanks to the nutritional yeast, these cheesy kale chips satisfy cravings without processed additives or dairy.

This is a perfect alternative to conventional snacks that are often loaded with ultra-processed oils, preservatives, and artificial flavorings. These chips fit beautifully into an anti-inflammatory, gut-healthy lifestyle and are easy to make at home.

This silky, creamy pumpkin pie, paired with a nutty maple syrup crust, is a delicious and healthy twist on the traditional favorite. Completely sugar-free and grain-free, this dessert is ideal for individuals following an anti-inflammatory lifestyle or those seeking to reduce refined sugars in their diet.

What makes this pumpkin pie stand out—aside from its rich, smooth filling and warmly spiced flavor—is the use of real maple syrup as a sweetener. Unlike refined sugars, maple syrup contains over 30 beneficial compounds, including polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. It’s a natural sweetener that supports overall health while delivering a deep, comforting sweetness.

Pumpkin itself is a powerhouse ingredient. It’s packed with vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), which is essential for immune support, skin health, and collagen production. Pumpkin is also rich in fiber, making it an excellent choice for promoting gut health and supporting blood sugar balance.

Every ingredient in this dessert—from the healthy fats in the crust to the anti-inflammatory spices—is chosen not only for flavor but also for its ability to reduce chronic inflammation, support digestion, and promote long-term wellness.

Perfect for gatherings, holidays, or as an everyday nutrient-dense treat, this gut-friendly pumpkin pie proves that you don’t have to compromise on taste for health.

Serve with a dollop of coconut yogurt or cashew cream for an entirely dairy-free, festive finish.

This Pecan Pie is a wholesome, indulgent dessert that’s completely free from refined sugar, grains, and dairy—but still packed with deep, caramelized flavor and a perfectly nutty crunch.

Pecans are the star of the show, and they’re far more than just delicious. Rich in monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E, and powerful antioxidants, pecans help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. They’ve been shown to support heart health, brain function, and cholesterol balance—all while being naturally low in carbs and high in nutrients.

Instead of traditional corn syrup, this recipe uses natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates, which contain anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties along with important minerals such as manganese and zinc. These alternatives provide the rich sweetness you expect from pecan pie—without spiking blood sugar or burdening your body.

The grain-free crust is made with almond flour or ground nuts, adding another boost of protein, healthy fats, and gut-friendly fiber. No gluten means better digestion and less inflammation, especially for those with sensitivities.

Every ingredient in this anti-inflammatory pecan pie is selected with gut health and immune system support in mind. It’s a beautiful example of how you don’t need to compromise flavor to eat in a way that supports your health.

Perfect for holidays or cozy evenings, this gut-healthy dessert satisfies sweet cravings while nourishing your body at the same time.

Happy, healing Thanksgiving!

Eggplant With Tahini & Truffle Dressing is an incredibly flavorful, nutrient-dense dish that supports digestion and overall wellness. Every ingredient has been carefully chosen to promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and deliver a taste experience that’s as beautiful as it is beneficial.

The fiber in eggplants not only aids digestion but also contributes to blood sugar control, thanks to chlorogenic acid, which slows glucose release. Another powerful compound, nasunin, found in eggplant skin, helps protect heart health and combat free radicals.

The tahini in this Eggplant With Tahini & Truffle Dressing provides a rich dose of magnesium, which supports hormonal balance through prostaglandin regulation and helps manage histamine levels. It also contains calcium, essential for immune function and bone strength.

The star of the dressing—truffle-infused oil—elevates the flavor and boosts nutritional value. Truffles are known for their anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial properties. They’re also rich in fiber, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals, making this Eggplant With Tahini & Truffle Dressing a smart choice for both your taste buds and your health.

Coriander brings detoxifying benefits, particularly its ability to bind and help remove heavy metals from the body. It also plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and preventing cancer.

Optional pomegranate seeds add a pop of color and a potent dose of antioxidants, isoflavones, and anti-inflammatory compounds that support hormonal health and immune resilience.

Whether served warm or at room temperature, Eggplant with Tahini and Truffle Dressing is a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition. This is one of those EBS recipes you’ll come back to time and time again—for health, pleasure, and beauty on a plate.

This creamy, dreamy Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is not only a delicious treat but also packed with benefits for your gut, immune system, and overall health.

Made from simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s gentle on the stomach and naturally soothing, thanks to the antacid properties of bananas. Bananas help protect the stomach lining and may reduce the risk of ulcers by eliminating harmful bacteria that can cause them.

Rich in natural prebiotics, bananas also help feed beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthier, more balanced microbiome. A well-functioning gut means better nutrient absorption, reduced inflammation, and stronger immune defenses—making this dessert a smart, feel-good choice.

Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and is a source of immune-supporting zinc, which plays a key role in wound healing, respiratory health, and men’s health. It also contains phenolic compounds, which, alongside the flavonoids in raw cacao, deliver powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The cacao in this nice cream doesn’t just add a rich chocolate flavor—it also supports heart health, brain function, and mood thanks to its magnesium and theobromine content. Paired with bananas, this dessert is a potassium powerhouse, great for lowering blood pressure, protecting the heart, and supporting healthy bones.

Whether enjoyed as a midday pick-me-up or a post-dinner treat, Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is a nourishing and indulgent way to boost your wellbeing with every spoonful.

It’s proof that desserts can be both delicious and deeply supportive of your health.

This delicious and creamy Tahini Dip isn’t just a flavorful addition to your table—it’s a powerhouse of nutrition that supports your heart, bones, nervous system, and skin.

Made from ground sesame seeds, tahini is naturally rich in magnesium and calcium, two essential minerals that work together to regulate cardiac rhythmic muscular contractions. These minerals are also vital for maintaining strong bones and teeth, and for supporting a calm, balanced nervous system.

Sesame seeds are packed with sesamin and sesamolin, two potent lignans that act as powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. These beneficial plant fibers help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood pressure, and protect against chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.

Tahini is also known for its hormone-balancing effects and its ability to detoxify the body. The healthy fats and fiber content support gut health and encourage the elimination of toxins, while also nourishing the skin and promoting healthy hair growth.

Each ingredient plays a role in amplifying the anti-inflammatory and heart-protective benefits, making this more than just a dip—it’s functional food at its best.

Enjoy it with fresh vegetables, spread it on wraps, or pair it with grilled meats or falafel. However you serve it, this Tahini Dip is a delicious way to nourish your body and elevate your meals.
