Welcome to Episode 13 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! This 26-minute episode is part 2 of a 2-episode discussion on dietary fat, the fat that you eat. In this episode, we discuss the three major types of fat: saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat.

These are incredibly unstable fats that oxidize easily, and have been shown to massively...

In this episode, we discuss the unbelievable story of where the anti-fat narratives and lies came from, and how they became nutritional dogma and integrated into governmental dietary guidelines.

Welcome to Episode 11 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! In this 16-minute episode we talk all about gut health.  The conventional advice on gut health is to take probiotics and drink kombucha, but did you know that probiotics actually do not populate your gut?

As we continue to learn more about the microbiome,...

Welcome to Episode 10 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! In this 20-minute episode we are going to examine the environmental angle of eating meat. The dominant narrative is that meat is bad for the environment and because of that, we should limit meat consumption.

The full picture is missing from the narrative that meat is bad for the...

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! In this 15-minute episode I explain why we need to let go of the idea that eating less and exercising more is the long term solution for health problems and weight loss.

But I am arguing that from a biological standpoint this is a hopeless way for many people...

Welcome to Episode 7 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! In this 12-minute episode I explain why meat is better than plants from a metabolic health and fat adaptation perspective. While you don’t have to do carnivore specifically to have good metabolic health, what is optimal about carnivore is that it’s an extremely nutrient dense diet that is also very low carb, and chronically high carb consumption plays a big role in metabolic dysfunction.  Meat kills two birds with one stone. You get...

Welcome to Episode 6 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! In this 14-minute episode we explore and become aware of how insane our modern food environment is. If you’re someone who has a hard time resisting food, this concept is a revelation because you find out that to some degree it’s not your fault.  We are constantly surrounded by hyperpalatable things to eat and we are constantly prompted to eat. Every occasion is marked with food.  It wasn’t always like this. Snacking was not a...

Welcome to Episode 5 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast!
