Eat the meat, save the humans
Don’t get too hung up on “forever.” A lot of people get stuck before they ever begin because they think they need to answer a very large question: “Can I eat this way forever?” That is usually not the most useful question. When Megan started Carnivore, she did not make a dramatic lifetime declaration. She …
Part 2 of my interview with Adi and Tzivi… One of the biggest mistakes we can make is assuming that if someone has been eating what the world calls a “healthy diet,” they couldn’t possibly end up struggling with their health. Adi’s story is a good reminder that our bodies don’t read nutrition labels or …
So often we assume that if something doesn’t work quickly, it doesn’t work at all. Most of us don’t set out trying to make ourselves sick. In fact, many of the people I talk to are doing the exact opposite. They’re reading books, listening to podcasts, buying organic foods, cooking at home, exercising, and genuinely …
Sometimes the thing that gets someone started has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss. We tend to assume that people come to carnivore because they want to lose weight, improve their health markers, or fit into smaller clothes. And certainly many do.

What Jeru Taught Us About Keeping It Simple One of the easiest mistakes to make in the health world is assuming that the answer must be more complicated than the problem.

What If Assisted Living Actually Helped People Get Better? My Conversation with Hal Cranmer When most people think about assisted living, they picture a place where elderly people go when they can no longer live independently. The expectation is usually that health will continue to decline and that the goal is simply to manage symptoms …
Julie’s Carnivore Success Story Every once in a while, I interview someone whose story reminds me exactly why I keep doing this work. Julie was one of those people. When I met her at Meatstock, she hugged me like we were old friends and immediately started telling me pieces of her story. I already knew …
What happens when your brain just doesn’t feel right anymore? At MeatStock a couple of weeks ago, I was standing in the hallway talking with people between sessions when a husband and wife came up and started telling me why they had started carnivore. Within a few minutes, I knew I wanted them on the …
Do the work that actually heals you. Lately, I’ve been talking with quite a few people who tell me they’ve “been carnivore for years,” but they still aren’t getting the results they hoped for.
