No, Mom, I Don’t Have a Tapeworm—I Just Need Red Meat (Thanks, Blood Type 0-)

For years, I chalked up my constant hunger and love for red meat to a fast metabolism—maybe even an overactive imagination. My mom, on the other hand, had a more… creative theory: a lintworm was living inside me, stealing all my nutrients. (Spoiler: no lintworm.)

What I did discover was far more interesting. My blood type—O negative—holds real clues about why my body thrives on animal protein. But how do you know if your cravings are trying to tell you something too?

Sloppy Joe, Where Have You Been All My Life?

It’s frankly a crime that my American friends never introduced me to the Sloppy Joe sooner. This humble, meaty mess of a sandwich just went straight to my heart—and my blood type O-negative belly sang hallelujah. It’s not just food, it’s medicine disguised as a comfort classic, especially in my luteal phase, when I crave grounding, iron-rich, serotonin-boosting goodness. Join me as I break down why this All-American dish deserves a spot in my regular rotation, how it supports my hormonal flow, and how food can flirt with your soul when it’s made with intention. Yes, this is a love story.
