Whey Protein > What and Source Recommendation.



Whey protein is a mixture of proteins isolated from whey, the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production. 

The proteins consist of α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin and immunoglobulins. 

Whey protein is commonly marketed as a dietary supplement, and various health claims have been attributed to it. 

For muscle growth, whey protein has been shown to be slightly better compared to other types of protein, such as casein or soy.


The protein in cow's milk is 20% whey and 80% casein. The protein in human milk is 60% whey and 40% casein. 

The protein fraction in whey constitutes approximately 10% of the total dry solids in whey. 

This protein is typically a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin (~65%), alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), bovine serum albumin (~8%) (see also serum albumin), and immunoglobulins. These are soluble in their native forms, independent of pH.....Wikipedia

Matcha Tea ..... Why Matcha Tea is so good for you.



Amongst its many health benefits, matcha…

  • Is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
  • Boosts metabolism and burns calories
  • Detoxifies effectively and naturally
  • Calms the mind and relaxes the body
  • Is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins
  • Enhances mood and aids in concentration
  • Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
  • Prevents disease
  • Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar
Matcha tea is an easy and simple way to add powerful health benefits to your everyday diet.

What are green tea catechins, and why are they so important in anti-cancer diets?

Matcha tea contains a unique, potent class of antioxidant known as catechins, which aren’t found in other foods. In particular, the catechin EGCg (epigallocatechin gallate) provides potent cancer-fighting properties.
Most importantly, EGCg and other catechins counteract the effects of free radicals from the likes of pollution, UV rays, radiation, and chemicals, which can lead to cell and DNA damage. Since over 60% of the catechins in matcha are actually EGCg, a daily matcha regimen can help restore and preserve the body’s integral well-being and balance. Read more on our Change The Odds Page.

California WIne Club


In 1990 we discovered that small family wineries were the most passionate in the wine world and their wines the hidden gems of wine country.

These small wineries handcraft extraordinary wine, but in quantities too limited to be distributed outside their local area. Since 1990 it has been our wine club's mission to help these artisan wineries introduce their wines to the world.

How Do We Pick Wines?

We taste. A lot. Hundreds of wines are rejected each year. We are a small business with one goal: ensure the wines we send are ones our members will love. Our promise has always been that we will only feature wines we would proudly serve to our friends and family in our homes, and we mean it.

Where do the Wines Come From?

We log many miles exploring wine country looking for small, artisan wineries. When we find them, we ask: “What is your best wine? What is the best representation of what you do? Which wine is YOUR favorite?” Those are the interesting, labor-of-love wines made with personal pride that they want to share, and those are the wines we really want our members to experience.

Today, we proudly offer five different  Whether for yourself (just pay as you go) or as a gift (just pay for the number of months you want to send) our wine club is unmatched for quality wine and impeccable service.

Wodagyu - Family Raised Wagyu Cattle ... Product Spotlight



Beef Marbling Standard


Originating from over the pacific in Japan, Wodagyu's humble beginnings start with one man and a vision: Bringing Kobe over to America. Established in 1999, in Houston, TX this family owned ranch started with 2 Tajima Wagyu bulls and have grown their herd to reach 99% full-blood wagyu cattle.

At Wodagyu we believe in treating everyone like family, and that goes for the cattle too. The well-being of our cows is at the center of our operation. We make sure that they live happy, stress free lives, able to roam freely on hundreds of acres of land. We believe that how we treat our cows reflects in the quality of the meat. The buttery flavor and juicy tenderness of our highly marbled wagyu beef makes for an unrivaled  taste.



"Wagyu" translated literally means "Japanese Cow."

Out of the three bloodlines of Japanese Black - Tajima, Kedaka, and Shimane - Tajima are the most prized and renowned.

Tajima Wagyu are the ONLY breed certified as "Japanese Kobe" and must be produced from within the Hyogo Prefecture. Tajima black have unequated and extremely high degrees of marbling, flavor, and "melt in your mouth" texture.
