When I was training with my client Brandon, he asked me a simple question:
“How do you make healthy food taste good?”

And honestly — I didn’t have an answer for him.

Not because I didn’t know, but because I don’t need to make it taste good. I already enjoy it.

See, when most people say “I can’t eat healthy because it doesn’t taste good,” what they’re really saying is:
“My taste buds are addicted.”

Years of dopamine-bomb foods — chips, fast food, sauces loaded with sugar and sodium — have hijacked their palate. The brain has been trained to chase hyper-flavor, not nourishment.

When you eat junk long enough, real food tastes dull. But when you detox long enough, real food starts tasting amazing. You can taste the natural sweetness of fruit. The richness of eggs. The depth of a well-cooked steak.

The issue isn’t that healthy food is bland.
It’s that your taste buds are broken.

Every “flavor-engineered” product — from energy drinks to salad dressings — is designed to overload your dopamine system. That’s why people keep buying it. It’s not food anymore; it’s a chemical trap.

If you want healthy food to taste better, stop trying to hack your recipes.
Hack your palate instead.

Detox from the junk. Go two, three, four weeks without it. Let your taste buds reset to factory settings.
Because once they do, you won’t force yourself to eat healthy —
you’ll crave it.
