After carnivore, I'm now 191lbs. I'm a different person. I can do exercises that I couldn't do before. I don't feel my age. Thank you. ❤

Thanks for sharing your success story! I would encourage anyone who’s had success on any elimination diet such as the carnivore diet to keep in mind that they didn’t get overweight or ill (aside from allergies) on carrots, beans, apples, or other whole foods that are very low in calories and very high in nutrients. Elimination diets remove processed foods and that has a massive impact on our health.

Over the last 15 years or so I have cut out sauces and gravies, fast foods and "instant" foods. My palate has grown simple, to the point where I actually don't like even salad dressings - other than olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can chase me with sugary deserts or "treats". I have finally managed to drop bread. I very seldom eat out and most times I choose to cook from scratch, don't do frying, only steaming, poaching or grilling. This discussion has been eye-opening and has justified my simple foods choice. I'm 70 and not on any medication. I am blessed!

I cut out most carbs and sugars 2 years ago purely to lose weight and stuck to meats, fats and leafy vegetables. I'm also on a 16/8 intermittent fast. None of it takes any effort. I was 66 at the time. I quickly lost weight. I was always reasonably fit, but I was carrying too much timber. My fitness obviously improved, but what pleasantly shocked me was how my temperment and brain function changed for the better. It's as I've been possessed by a much nicer person.

Once I learned about the carnivore diet, and heard Jordan and his daughter’s stories, I started the carnivore diet. Within 2 days I felt amazing.

Autoimmune diseases, arthritis, diabetes and certain types of dementia are adverse side of effects of vaccines and certain medicines (as noted in pub med). Working In dentistry I love to spend hours talking to the 100 year olds. One amazing lady who just turned a 100 years old this month, grew up on her parents cattle ranch and is a retired teacher. She has consumed a lot of fresh red meat, eggs (made in a variety dishes) and homemade fruit pies over her life time. One day she brought me a homemade berry pie to thank me for walking her out to her SUV which she drives by herself to the dentist office. She wears a fit band daily and walks with friends from her neighborhood and church. This lady does not suffer from any chronic disease, doesn't need daily medicine and still has a crystal clear short and long term memory.

This was such an interesting discussion. I'm 80, & so far I don't have any memory problems. One thing I had as a young person, was piano lessons for about 20 years total. I memorized pages of music. I grew up on a farm. My Mom always cooked real food, either grown by my parents or my grandparents. No pesticides, only real food-dairy cows, chickens, gardens, fruit trees, venison. Mom made meals with color, like green veggies. I also believe that staying curious about life, learning something new every day also helps keep the mind working.

I tried to reverse the damage in my twenties with Mediterranean diet and now try my best to eat clean keto but sugar is hard to beat. My mother and her father had dementia. I am terrified of dementia, even more than weight issues. This is my primary motivation to eat healthy foods. I do not want to lose my brain health.

I remember in the 1970s the stories of poor old ladies living independently, brains intact, who were living on cat food, because they couldn't afford groceries. They were doing very well, however, living on cat food. Cat food has supplemental taurine in it, because cats don't synthesize their own, and if deprived of it, they develop heart failure, poor eyesight, and dementia. Sounds like old age to me. My husband and I take taurine supplements. other sources are raw duck eggs, raw goat's milk and raw meat . (Heat destroys taurine.)

My Dr said okay and I went off the pill. In about 2015 I found that daily dosing of magnesium helped my endo symptoms, too. I recently conceived after many years of managing endo through diet (and with only 1 ovary). It's possible, but Medical Dr's don't know about diet stuff. Do more research. I avoid GMOs and pesticides, dairy and conventional meats (bc of the hormones and gmo feed). I also do Epsom baths in the days leading up to my period to help maximize magnesium in my system. The magnesium helps with the painful periods. You got this.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2014. By then I was pretty fucked up already (I was 29). In 2019, when I was getting closer to wheelchair and cognitive malfunction and after doing a ton of research, I met someone who got me introduced to the role of nutrition, vaccines and heavy metals in neurological disorders. Not too make it long, not only I can now workout and think with full clarity, but I feel better than ever. I’m still not completely out of the woods since this type of toxicity and the damage it has caused over the years is tough and long to recover from, but it can be done. Had I followed the advise of “reputable, internationally awarded neurologists” I would be bed ridden or even dead. This is the reality of modern medicine, unfortunately. People, generally speaking, look at you as a lunatic when you tell them this story, but those same ones start listening to you when they find imposible to fix chronic issues via the system. Obviously, when they start working using true medicine, their brain explodes. Finding out the modern medicine is there to get you sick instead of to get you healthy is not something easy to digest.

[@paulreesor8200]

People have quickly reversed MS with the same diet that Dr Peterson follows or even maybe not as extreme. Carnivorous diet, I would add sunshine and lots of Vitamin D and maybe other vitamins and minerals if you like. Another Dr Wals has a protocol but includes too many vegetables and took her years instead of months.

[@Maroto21]

@@paulreesor8200Most of the times those strategies are not enough to eliminate the MS symptoms depending on the severity. MS is nothing but toxins destroying the myelin that protect the nerves. Usually this is heavy metals, particularly mercury. Going carnivore does, among many other things, stop getting toxins as part of the diet which allows the body to start the cleansing. This cleansing is usually very slow and so depending on the case there are tools to speed this up. When the cleansing starts, symptoms tend to worsen a lot, this is why many people stop after a few weeks thinking that it is harming them further, but its the exact opposite.

I am a 20 year-old undergraduate student of Political Science. While I love my studies, I often feel a sense of despair worrying thay they will not translate into a satisfying career for me, as I dont want to be a politician or work in a nonprofit... I care about public health. This video, along with others, has contributed to a beautiful moment of clarity: I know what my purpose is, for the first time in my life. I will finish my polisci degree top of my class, find a post baccalaureate public health program, and learn as much as I can about public health and community wellness. From there, I can refine my focus in higher education, whether it be psychological health, nutrition, or epidemiology. I can root out corruption, I can educate, I can help turn the tide on our public health crisis. I'm smart and a hard worker and I understand that this is what I am meant to do. I know I can change the world in this small way.

That's a really cool plan and I hope you will succeed, just the "I'm smart" part is kind of what you should neither think, nor say. Let me just tell you my story to explain this - when I was your age I graduated with the highest degree here on a German school and I was the best pupil out of 150. I also thought I was damn clever. But in fact I was a total idiot right back then. But I just realized that years later reading some of the essays I had to write as homeworks in school or looking at my English tests. I am not sure I am now "not a total idiot" , but in a nutshell: I am sure you will make the same experience later on. And if not, it will only mean that you did not grow as a person and stayed on that level of "I'm smart" you are now, which is really not good. Oh, and on the hindsight, nearly nothing I learned at school was relevant, true or important. In fact most things (outside of real science like mathematics or physics and maybe the language classes) were either irrelevant or even propagandistic nonsense. But yeah, dunning-kruger was hitting hard at me then and I thought I knew everything when I didn't even scratch the surface, yet...

I was about 10% overweight and generally had a daily carb intake of less than 100 net carbs at the time. But unfortunately that was far from enough. I'm guessing we're on a similar meds regiment. I get my a1c checked every 3 months which is currently in the prediabetic range. Best regarding your improved health.

I lost my dad to early onset familia Alzheimer's with dementia, last year. I was in charge of his care for 6 years. For 6 years I watched him wither away and die before he died. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I'd be bawling through this film so I don't think I should watch it, but I appreciate the work being done to bring this to the forefront. To raise awareness of cause and even affect is so important. It's vital. Thank you for this episode, and for this guest. It was excellent and sad.

I came to knowJordan Peterson through the antagonism and debates the university, press, and other woke folks had with Peterson about pronouns.Then Peterson's insight into human psychological thinking really sparked an interest in what he had to share. And since then Peterson has had a wealth of learning to reveal in which this podcast is a fruitful example. Thank you Jordan Peterson for these many things. You take a complex over looked subject like dementia and health and simplify and magnify it with your astute questions and comments. You gently prod knowledgeable guest with your Socratic method of interview to encourage them to share, like Max Lugavere, their enormous well researched investigations and learning. Simply put you life and work Peterson is helping me to better informed and frankly encouraged by being both a fabulous communicator and educator in an age where so much of national media, schools, and universities are failing us with useless information.

37 years old. 1 year carnivore. Steak, eggs, salmon, raw and fermented dairy, SOME sauerkraut on ground beef occasionally. Still drinking coffee in the morning. All gut issues gone. This includes bloating, rash, bleeding, hemorrhoids, constipation. This effect was within the first couple months. I no longer need to use shampoo, deodorant, or tooth paste on a regular basis. This occurred about 6 to 7 months into the diet. I still use them occasionally, but have switched over to more natural type products, like beef tallow soaps or coconut oil for deodorant. I no longer need to use any types of cleaners or face washes. I never was overweight, but my body composition changed and slightly toned up with very little exercise. When i do exercise i look ripped in a way that was only possible if i worked out 4 days a week before. Had labs done recently. Insulin sensitivity is perfect, cholesterol mimics that of the LMHR. No Inflammation. No heavy metal toxicity (i drink RO water), testosterone was off the clinic's reference range at 850. There were some growing pains with the diet. I had carb withdrawal very early on and had what i can only call a liver detox event at about 3 months. I have tried to reintroduce some things and symptoms return. Any grains or ultra processed items bring back the symptoms with a vengeance and it takes weeks to return to a healed or normal state. My younger brother has had the same experience except he also lost 40 pounds. Carnivore has been an absolute life saver for me.

The huge factor that took my Mom down was social. She was active, involved in her Church with a good group of friends. Walked every day around the neighborhood. She ate well, whole foods, loved vegetables. She was slim, and always had been. She didn't listen to people telling her what to eat. Now, what happened? At the age of 76, she remarried. This was after 8 years of being on her own after my Dad passed. She stopped going to church (watched service on TV). Lost her friends, basically social life, walking was sparse. She was happy with her new husband. Then he took sick (not his fault), but now she was back to looking after her spouse. It was during this time the dementia started. When he passed, she was definitely suffering from dementia. Life is definitely a factor for sure. Friends and activity are major factors, barr none.😊

Changing my diet saved me from debilitating back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, muscle pain, digestive issues, raised blood pressure, 20kg over weight. It took around 8 months for all these problems to resolve. I'm completely pain free and never felt and looked healthier. Since 2020 I've only been eating fatty meats, seafood, eggs and dairy. Prior to that I was eating the mainstream version of a healthy diet (lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat, eating the rainbow etc) for decades and watching my health slowly decline. Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Gary Fettke, Dr Benjamin Bikman, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, all helped me get my health back.

At 14, I was fit, healthy, played tennis, football, jogged, bicycled, skateboarded, swam in the ocean. There wasn't much I wasn't doing outside as a teenager and doing those things was my transportation, my exercise and I did them regularly because I truly enjoyed doing them. Because of these physical activities I started to get chronic ingrown toenails, and subsequent doses of anti-biotics to kill the infections I would inevitably get. By the time I was 15, I had gained 50 pounds. All while still doing the same activities. The weight hadn't bothered me physically that much, but the weight kept coming on. By 16, another 50 pounds and my mom was very concerned and took me to see doctors. Doctors pulled up the food pyramid, made diets based on that with exercise regiments. None of that worked. This calorie in-calorie out formula doesn't work for everyone. Depression had set in by my mid-20s and I had started to drink alcohol to forget about my weight problems. I was still going to the gym and struggling. It just wasn't happening. by my mid-30's I had finally given up. by my 40's I was 450+ pounds and 6'5. My blood results always made doctors look at them sideways, because I wasn't diabetic. I didn't have a lot of issues yet. And I still struggled to lose weight. It wasn't until 46 that I discovered ketosis dieting and dropped 128 pounds in a year. All I did was diet and walk. I didn't have to hit the gym and lift weights. The weight loss was short lived though, as I began to try and eat normal again. The weight all came back and then some in a few years. Massive depression had set in again. Then my brother and mother both became ill with glioblastoma and liver cancer respectively. My brother and mother died 25 days apart last year. This furthered my depression, and I began to eat even worse than I had been and gained another 90 pounds. topping me out at 495 at this point. I've been struggling to get back to a keto-style diet, as I know it works and I felt great, and my bloodwork was all on point while doing that diet. No concerns about cholesterol, my kidneys, etc. I did catch COVID 4 times and had the original strain. I am concerned that COVID caused damage to my heart because I have an enlarged heart now, and I had noticed my energy levels never returned after having COVID the first time. I never got the vaccines. I didn't believe in them, and with all the information and vaccine harm that has happened to people, I'm glad I stuck to my guns and didn't fold to the pressure to get those abysmal vaccines. It's been over a year since the passing of my brother and mother and I'm trying to get myself back in order. I know what to do but have a hard time doing it. I don't know what the disconnect is. The 46-year-old me was dogged and relentless in doing that for myself. the 52-year-old me just feels broken inside and lacking any motivation. I'm the only one left of my immediate family. It's hard not seeing my mother and brother each day that were encouraging me when I lost the weight the first time. I just feel lost and very unmotivated to deal with this. And of course, the toll of the weight is beginning to affect my life a lot more than it did in my 40s. The heart issue being the biggest concern. I lost my gallbladder about 7 years ago and decided to lose weight the first time shortly after that. I also have enlarged prostate and I think getting rid of the weight will take care of every health issue I have.

Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year and 9 months now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) Want to mention if you start to get any allergy symptoms further into carnivore you may have histamine intolerance. Happened to me if I ate smoked meats daily for months straight. Went back to baking my meats and all the symptoms went away! Look into histamine intolerance when starting carnivore to make sure you know symptoms and not to eat smoked aged meats daily like I did if you get symptoms. Eat smoked meats less often. I do go outside daily for at least an hour a day during week and several hours on weekends if possible! I try to stay on consistent sleeping schedule of 6-8 hours of sleep and sleep like a bear!☺️ So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️

THIS incredibly informative and beneficial discussion made me weep. I'm a carnivore whose father succumbed to Lewy body dementia over ten years ago. Originally, he'd been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, but when they discovered his younger sister, who lived in a different country, had Parkinson's, they reassessed their diagnoses and found it to be Lewy body dementia (Parkinson's and Lewy body disease are related). Since he died, I've tried to reassess and recreate his diet and lifestyle to try to determine what I and my sibling might do differently or better. Admittedly, I don't have Max's qualifications. Thing is, my father was a martial artist; almost a carnivore (though no one called it "carnivore" back in the day), and a medical professional. Since my father died, I've rarely encountered anyone who's ever heard of LBD or discussed it. So, this was particularly gratifying. And surprisingly, one of the main takeaways for me was that it doesn't necessarily hurt to experiment or try something new every now and then (diet wise). And hearing Max say that he'll never really know exactly what happened with his mother makes me feel less "stupid" for not being able to figure out where/how my own father may have "gone wrong." I will definitely watch this interview again (when I'm less emotional), read Max's books, and soldier on more positively in my personal journey. And Jordan, too, has been an inspiration to me. Thank you, both, so very much for this!🙏

[@Stoitism]

@CharlesL.-mw3ff I am nutritionist and health coach. My LDL is perfectly fine and healthy. LDL numbers in themselves are not indicative of anything. What you want to look at are inflammatory markers and triglycerides as well as cholesterol particle size and density. That can indicate if you have a problem with the health of your cholesterol and not what some arbitrary and meaningless total cholesterol numbers say. The amount of cholesterol in your blood is dictated by genetics, what we can affect with diet and lifestyle is the health and function of said cholesterol. I get my bloods done every 6 months and my last QRISK score was 1.3%, the lowest number my doctor tells me he has seen. Take from that what you will :)

[@fraserehl5894]

​@Stoitism Yea that particle size stuff has been debunked for years. Small and large ldl both penetrate the endothelium, small does it easier but large particles also manage it and bring in more cholesterol when they do. That's awesome that your LDL is normal! Most carnivores have pretty outrageous numbers so that's great to see. While people with normal LDL can still have risks for cardiovascular disease, that does not mean that abnormally high LDL on its own is ok. It just means you can have decent LDL but if triglycerides and HDL is outside the ranges then you're still at risk.

Jordan, I have recently discovered you and I am really enjoying your podcasts. Your recent interview with Pierre Poilievre was excellent and should be watched by every Canadian. I'm sitting on the fence with this interview as I am a 20 yr. whole food plant based (wfpb) vegan. In my 30s I was diagnosed with hypertension and blood work indicated that my cholesterol was through the roof. Severe chest pain was what brought me to the doctor in the first place. Here is the thing, I was shocked as I was eating what I thought was the perfect diet - No junk food & very low carbs. A typical day consisted of hard boiled or poached eggs with a green salad for breakfast, lean chicken with another salad or slightly steamed greens like broccoli for lunch & lean grass fed beef with more greens for dinner - desert was always some sort of berry usually blueberries. So I was very meat centred for sure. Shortly after my diagnoses I started doing a deep dive into the optimal human diet. This led me to a lot of plant based doctors & researchers. I read the China Study by T. Colin Campbell - the largest most comprehensive nutritional study to date - and geez that was an eye opener. Interestingly, Colin Campbell was raised on a dairy farm and went to china to prove how important "animal protein" was, but discovered something completely opposite to that. I looked at the works of Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Dr. Neil Barnard, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, & Dr. Brooke Goldner just to name a few. They all contend that animal products are inflammatory to the human system and definitely not heart friendly. Within 1 month of changing my diet to a wfpb vegan one, my chest pain disappeared & my cholesterol dropped like a rock - so much so that my doctor was shocked. Anyway, I wonder if you would consider looking at the other side of things as well - perhaps interview a plant based doctor like Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Michael Klaper or Dr. Brooke Goldner or even a plant based athlete and podcaster like Rich Roll (who I think would be brilliant on your podcast) - just to give your audience a different perspective. Thank you so much Jordan for your insightful podcasts!

@@apboyce I had an urban farm too & loved it! When we moved from 20 acres back to the city, I couldn't keep any quacking or crowing thing,so I harvested all but 3 of my chicken flock along with Stewie the rooster; sold/rehomes my khaki Campbells, Indian Runners & gorgeous black Cayugas. We kept a few buff Orpington, Rhodies & Chicky-poo 2, a black & white Seabright. She set up her nest box in the kitchen. What a character! We added rabbits and Muscovy ducks since they're quackless. They just kinda hiss. But come Thanksgiving, while others had turkey, we had duck with rabbit on the side, and I've never gone back since. Besides, the cutest thing on the face of this planet is and always will be a duckling. 🐥

Went carnivore (along with garlic and onion for flavour) Hands down best thing I’ve ever done for my health!!! Was meant to just be a short term experiment. I’m 42, feel and look better than I ever have. My 13 year old daughter is in shock and following my lead because of seeing my transformation. Honestly….. I thought I was already pretty healthy and in shape, but now I realize I just never knew what healthy is supposed to feel like till I went carnivore. Will never go back! ❤

So health is now a thing of feeling, not data?

[@taraosborne4559]

@@chris-nj3vg 🤨 What?? I’m simply sharing my personal experience dude. I didn’t get my blood taken or studied in a lab. Not referencing science at all. I simply “feel” and “look” better then I ever have in my life. Take it how ever you wish. Maybe it’s just placebo effect?? If that makes you feel better about it. 😏

@@taraosborne4559 Sorry for being so blunt, of course your were talking in a different context. Good for you for feeling great. I still wonder about the long-term health consequences of such an extreme elimination (and often also calorie-deficit/restriction) diet though. Given the current data about the importance of veggies, fruits, and yes, whole grains, nuts and beans for healthspan.

[@taraosborne4559]

@@chris-nj3vg Fair concern. I felt the EXACT same way when I first heard about carnivore….. I’m sure I remember rolling my eyes. Out of curiosity and maybe a mission to prove to myself how stupid it is to eliminate vegetables…. Over a 100 of hours of research later…. I can confidently say I never need to eat a fruit or vegetable again. There’s nothing in any fruit or vegetable that you can’t get from meat, aaaand it’s much more bioavailable to your body through meat. If you’re curious, start off with Sally Norton author of toxic superfoods. She’s a Harvard dietician life long vegetarian. Dr.chaffe is another excellent source on KZbin, Watch dr.chaffes interview with sally norton. Start there. Also…. look up the word Oxcelate. Only if you’re truly curious.

@@chris-nj3vg I've been strict carnivore since February of 2020. I get my blood tested approximately every six months or so... and my doctor is impressed with my numbers. When there is no real, good science with nutrition, we are reduced to anecdotes. As Dr. Peterson said in this interview, when we accumulate so many anecdotes over time, it starts to look like data.

52:30 "We've gotten to this place where we've ceased to be able to make imerical definitions for anything" "Well that's what happens when you live in a tower of Babel" I stopped the video and thought about that for thirty minutes. That is spot on.

What does the tower of babel mean?

[@noahesk7839]

@@Mako_683 tower of Babel is a story in the book of Genesis. It goes like this. A bunch of people gathered together and decided to build a giant tower that would reach all the way to the heavens where they sought to replace God with themselves. As they built God cursed them and made them all speak different languages. So after they couldn't communicate anymore the tower of Babel was abnadoned and they all went their separate ways.

It's a brilliant metaphor, so often people are using the same words but not the same dictionary. . . it's very frustrating.

This podcast has been the beginning of a journey for my husband and I to reevaluate our diets and we have both lost weight and are feeling amazing! Thank you Jordan and Max for bringing this to the forefront of public awareness.

Dr. Petersen, I am an LPCA in Kentucky in the United States and I have a theory related to trauma inflammation obesity, and all the things you’re talking about. I would love to have an opportunity to speak with you in some detail about it.
