Why Carnivore?
This is a follow-up to my last post. I detailed in it the history of the human diet. You may recall the importance meat has played throughout our history. At one point, humans were predominately meat eaters and by definition hypercarnivore. As we began to consume plants we needed to find ways to process them to make them less toxic. A dying art that has contributed to chronic disease. Since…
What Should Humans Eat?
The subject of what humans should eat has been a long debated topic. Sadly there is a lot of misinformation here. There is a growing voice against eating meat and it is gaining traction. Many people in Hollywood support this and Netflix has several documentaries on the “dangers” of eating meat. Veganism is also gaining a lot of support all over the world.

In other words, just because it is natural does not mean the root cause is being addressed. Now I want to break down the root cause, leaky gut and what causes it. This will be an over-simplification, for a…
Natural Treatment for Ulcerative Colitis, Part 1
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD for short, is an issue effecting about 1.3% of adults in the US.1 Now that is an old stat from 2015, it has certainly increased since then. Most are diagnosed in their 20s or 30s.1 The two most common are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). Crohn’s is inflammation within the whole digestive tract whereas the UC is only the large intestine or colon. Ulcerative…
