In This Episode:
The carnivore diet is one of the most controversial diets out there—packed with protein, animal-based foods, and zero plants. While many claim incredible health benefits, from weight loss to reduced inflammation, what does the science actually say?
Think eating only animal foods is extreme? So does most of the internet. But in this episode, Dr. David Jockers exposes the myths, science, and shocking truths behind the carnivore diet—and why it’s not the health disaster critics claim.
You’ll hear why the same steak that heals one person can inflame another, how your microbiome may determine your results, and what people get totally wrong about heart disease and saturated fat.
The Shocking Truth About “Healthy” Foods
Kale, broccoli, and spinach might be wrecking your gut—and for some people, cutting them out brings relief.
Dr. Jockers breaks down why FODMAPs, fiber, and even fruit sugars can backfire in certain bodies and how the carnivore diet helps reduce inflammation for those individuals.
Should You Try the Carnivore Diet?
It’s not one-size-fits-all. This episode helps you determine whether the carnivore approach fits your body, genetics, and health goals. From iron overload to microbiome shifts, Dr. Jockers gives you a nuanced look at whether meat-only living is your path to healing—or not.
