Beef, lamb, and bison form the foundation of many Alliance coaching approaches. These foods provide highly bioavailable heme iron, zinc, B12, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), supporting muscle integrity, oxygen transport, hormonal balance, and metabolic efficiency. For many individuals, ruminant-based nutrition simplifies digestion, reduces inflammatory triggers, and supports deep nutritional ketosis without dietary complexity.

Pork and poultry serve as versatile protein sources within many Alliance coaching approaches. They provide complete amino acid profiles to support tissue repair, recovery, and daily protein requirements, while offering variety and accessibility for long-term adherence. When sourced and prepared thoughtfully, non-ruminant meats can complement a ruminant-focused diet without disrupting metabolic stability.

Fish and seafood provide highly bioavailable protein and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support cardiovascular function, neurological health, and inflammation modulation. Within many Alliance coaching approaches, seafood is used strategically to support cognitive clarity, joint health, and recovery, particularly during periods of high physical or mental demand.

Butter, cream, and select cheeses can serve as concentrated energy sources within carnivore and ketogenic lifestyles when well tolerated. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin K2, along with calcium and saturated fat, dairy can support bone integrity, hormonal signaling, and sustained energy production. Within Alliance coaching approaches, dairy is applied selectively based on individual tolerance, metabolic goals, and inflammatory response.
