The low-fat carnivore trend falsely claims to mimic an ancestral diet. This is wrong. ​Ancestors ate high-fat megafauna (mammoths); hunters today still target fat-rich animals (whales, seals, polar bears). Even Arctic fish are fat-rich. Larger animals, especially Arctic species hunted in the Ice Ages, naturally carry a higher percentage of body fat. Significant inter-abdominal fat is also found in the omentum, mesentery, and around the kidneys. Healthy animals simply have more fat than starving ones. ​Due to decades of processed food propaganda, people now discard nutritious subcutaneous and abdominal fat, consuming only lean muscle. Discarding this fat is not an ancestral practice. ​Avoiding animal fat sacrifices vital nutrients—DHA, EPA, Vitamins D3, K2, A, E, choline, cholesterol, and saturated fat—essential for neurological function and child brain development. ​Weight stalls often stem from a "dirty carnivore" diet (dairy, artificial sweeteners). When issues arise, people wrongly blame high fat, forgetting high-fat carnivore initially drove their health and weight loss. Switching to low-fat risks malnutrition and protein poisoning, which can result in weight loss, but at the expense of health. As health suffers, people blame long-term ketosis on the poor health effects, even though this is against all the best long-term peer-reviewed evidence (See my YouTube video "Is ketosis harmful?"l for more). Remember that your hormones like testosterone and estrogen are made out of cholesterol, and avoiding fat will make all hormones suffer. Eating carbs raises insulin and insulin resistance, which suppresses testosterone in men and estrogen in women. Fat is an essential nutrient, and is good for you. Don't avoid fat just because it's trendy and you don't want to give up dairy or sweets. That is good for you, so eat the damn fat. #carnivore #carnivorediet

Most of us don’t have a slow metabolism, and are far from overtraining. The real issue is people underestimate their calorie intake, confuse discomfort with "failure," and just don't do the work. New episode with Dr. Layne Norton (Layne Norton, PhD), a Ph.D. scientist, professional bodybuilder, and champion powerlifter who deadlifts over 700 pounds. We discuss: • When to push to failure • Whether seed oils promote chronic disease (and how) • Why good habits beat perfectionism • Layne’s approach to eating, training, and supplementation. Plus, we tackle hot topics like the carnivore diet, artificial sweeteners, intermittent fasting, and more. This episode is available on X, YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Board Certified Cardiologist Dr Jack Wolfson Would NEVER: 1: Never tell people to avoid Eggs. Eggs are a multivitamin & phenomenally healthy. Cholesterol is healthy in every animal food. Don't believe the propaganda. 2: Never tell people to stop Coffee. Coffee is fantastic for Cardiovascular Health. Less AFib, less heart attacks, less strokes, people live longer. 3: Never tell people to eat Oatmeal. Oatmeal is pure propaganda. Oatmeal is not for human consumption. We do not need it & it's not part of our Ancestral Diet. 4: Never tell people to eat Low Fat. Fat is super healthy. Never follow any low fat recommendations. 1970s propaganda. Most Medical Doctors have no idea about nutrition. 5: Never tell people to see a traditional Doctor. Never see a Doctor who doesn't look for the cause. Always seek root cause healing & away from big pharma. Healthy Cholesterol Is Needed For A Thriving Life: Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals. Prevents dementia & cognitive decline. Protects against all cause mortality. Production of all steroid hormones. Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention. Protective against stroke & heart disease. Important for lungs & airways. Building block of all cells & mitochondria. Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K. Critical for digestion & bile acids. Immune system protection against infections. Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses. Lowers risk of cancer & death. Lowers risk of depression & suicide. Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety. Optimal brain is 60% fat & 25% cholesterol. A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & excess sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. Incorporate Butter, Ghee, Tallow, Lard & Duck Fat into cooking & nutrient dense meals for vibrant thriving health & optimal brain function. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Cardio Biomarkers for Cardiac health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 2.0 & even better at 1.5 or less. 👇High Cholesterol Prevents Atherosclerosis👇 👇Low LDL Causes Cancer & Infections👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 Speaker: Dr. Jack Wolfson / Natural Heart Doctor

Last night Dr David Unwin was on mainstream news talking about the benefits of reducing carbs for those living with diabetes. The results he gets are amazing. I know it can be replicated by others because I copy what he does in my own clinical practice using David Oliver, Freshwell resources (which are free btw). As a result, in 2024 forty of my patients achieved remission too. The news report featured an endocrinologist Shivani Misra who, at the 4mins 27s timestamp in the video, said: "If someone does a low carb with higher fat what does that mean for their cholesterol and their cardiovascular disease risk? We don't know the answer to this" I'm here to tell you this is a false statement. The research has been done. Let me show you: In 2020 a meta analysis looking at the effects of low carb on CVD risk found: "For total cholesterol there was no significant change in the data corresponding to low-carbohydrate diets lasting 12–23 months and over 24 months" With regards LDL the meta analysis says: "For plasma LDL, as the forest map shows, that there was no significant difference between the low-carbohydrate diet group and the control group at 6–11 months, 12–23 months, and 24 months" All other factors improved (blood pressure, triglycerides, etc) The meta analysis concluded: "In conclusion, the overall effect of a low-carbohydrate diet on cardiovascular risk factors tended to be favorable at less than 6 months and 6–11 months, but after 2 years of a low-carbohydrate diet, there was no significant effect on cardiovascular risk factors" So short term: CVD risk factors are improved, long term, things don't get worse". This mirrors what I see in clinical practice and with myself having been low carb full time since the start of 2020 - all my CVD risk markers are in the normal range. Study source: The reporter also talks about low carb as a "restrictive diet". What's more restrictive: Giving up bagels, bread, sweets and other junk IN FAVOUR OF protein, vegetables etc Or Giving up solid food entirely for a 850kcal liquid diet for months? Despite the latter being far more restrictive it has been rolled out nationally by the NHS. Nothing wrong with this as it works but so does low carb. Why not give patients a choice? The reporter also says Dr Unwins results are just because of the support he provides. Whilst support matters (a lot), this is blatant misinformation. Plenty of studies show that reducing carbs is disproportionately better for those with diabetes than low fat. Here are some: In 2023 Novo Nordisk published a randomized controlled trial comparing low carb to low fat for diabetes. They found: 🩸 Low carb led to the greatest reduction in hba1c 💉 Only the low carb group reduced medications 📉 Low carb had the greatest reduction in triglycerides + higher HDL (LDL was similar) ⚖️ Low carb group lost more weight + more fat spontaneously despite eating more calories 🩸 Systolic blood pressure was lower for low carb The low carb group non significantly raises their LDL but 0.23mmol. The researchers said: "we consider the beneficial effects of low carb to outweigh the minor increase in LDL (0.23mmol) induced by the diet. This is supported by other studies" So low carb is better and CVD risk markers overall improved. Naturally, the study was hidden behind a Paywall. Link: I can hear the skeptics now: "But Mike, this is one study, it's not enough" Ok here's a meta analysis showing that hba1c is directly proportional to the carbs eaten: This meta analysis concluded:

Hashimoto's Hypothyroid..."You Want To Talk About A Pandemic?...We Have A Pandemic Of Medicating Organs In The Body That Have Done Nothing Wrong." The Only Guarantee If You're On Thyroid Medication Is That Your Dosage Will Increase. Why?...Because You're Killing The Thyroid. The 3 Part Protocol I Used To Heal My Thyroid 8 Years Ago. I Got Off Of Big Pharma's Payroll...A Patient Cured Is A Customer Lost. 1⃣ Adopt The Diet: A Ketogenic Carnivore Diet provides the framework & building blocks to heal & reverse hypothyroidism. The thyroid requires abundant protein with all of the bioavailable nutrients that animal sourced foods provide. Consume at least 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight. The thyroid cannot heal on subclinical protein intake. Structure the diet around ruminant meat of beef, bison, venison, etc. Include an abundance of eggs, low mercury seafood, pork & poultry if tolerated. This is the source of the healing methylated natural B vitamins for thyroid T4 that is responsible for 80% of thyroid hormone production. Saturated animal fat is also required for optimal thyroid function. Consume & cook with butter, ghee, tallow, suet, lard & duck fat. Unrefined mineral salt is a must for the trace minerals that the thyroid requires. Focus on hormone production thru weightlifting, not cardio...as cardio further depletes adrenal & thyroid function. 2⃣ Eliminate Anti-Thyroid Foods: There are many foods that are Goitrogens...these are harmful to thyroid health & function. These are the vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts & seeds that cause a goiter, when the thyroid is starved of the iodine it requires to function & make thyroid hormone. Wheat/Gluten, Grains, Soy, Nuts & Seeds, Potatoes, Legumes, Cruciferous Vegetables & Certain Fruits contain thyroid harming Lectins, Oxalates, Goitrogens, Phytic Acid & Saponins. (article linked below) All of these plant anti-nutrients block absorption of iodine & it's required cofactors...the thyroid will never heal if these continue to be in the daily diet. If you are dairy intolerant or dairy sensitive, dairy should be eliminated as well. The gut inflammation that occurs will hinder key nutrient absorption & prohibit thyroid healing. 3⃣ Supplements For Optimal Thyroid: Iodine: Every cell in the body requires iodine & we no longer get enough from our soil or food. The thyroid alone uses 6 mg each day & the rest of the body uses an additional 4 mg each day. Lugol's 2% Iodine drops is the easy way to supplement. Iodine has required cofactors that must be in the diet or in supplement form: Methylated B Vitamins, Selenium, Zinc, Iron, Tyrosine & Copper. Make sure your ketogenic carnivore diet has ample supply of these nutrients &/or add grass fed beef organs or freeze dried beef organ supplement capsules. Prioritize natural daily sun exposure for D assimilation & hormone production &/or red light therapy. Magnesium Glycinate or Threonate is required as a cofactor for Vitamin D assimilation. Sweat therapy &/or Sauna to detoxify the body from anti-nutrients in the Eliminate category. This protocol healed my Hypothyroidism in 12 months in 2018. I slowly eliminated all of the supplements in 2022, while getting abundant nutrition in 150-200 grams of protein each day & the same or higher grams of saturated animal sourced fats. Prioritizing red meat & fish(Iodine & Selenium) & grass fed beef organ supplements & magnesium glycinate maintains thyroid healing. Let me know in the comments or thru DM if you have any questions or concerns about any part of the protocol. I will gladly answer any & all questions! 👇Low Carbohydrate Diet Reverses Hashimoto's👇 👇Iodine & Selenium Required To Heal Hashimoto's👇 👇Foods That Harm The Thyroid To Eliminate👇 Speaker: Gary Brecka, human biologist

Protein catalyzes nearly every biochemical reaction in our bodies, making it indispensable for life. Every day, our bodies renew and replace around 300 grams of protein – the same weight as a can of Campbell's chicken soup. In today's FoundMyFitness episode, Dr. Luc van Loon joins me to shatter myths about protein intake and muscle protein synthesis. His research showed we can utilize up to 100 grams of protein in one meal, far more than previously thought. We also dive into how to distribute protein optimally across the day, the top sources, and strategies to ward off anabolic resistance—a state where muscles dial down their response to protein and exercise.
