Is meat good for you, or is it quietly destroying your gut health, your cholesterol, and your long-term health?
Have you been told to eat less red meat, focus on cholesterol lowering foods, and load up on plants to protect yourself from autoimmune disease and chronic illness, but you’re still dealing with bloating, constipation, fatigue, or worsening autoimmune conditions?
Or maybe you’ve tried vegan, vegetarian, or “clean eating” diets for your health, and instead of getting better, your symptoms got worse?
If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you.
Today, we’re tackling one of the most controversial questions in nutrition: is meat good for you?
Over the last 8 years working with hundreds of clients, I’ve seen something that goes directly against mainstream advice. The very food people are told to avoid for their cholesterol, heart health, and autoimmune disease is often the exact food that helps them heal.
Yes - even my vegan and vegetarian clients.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about meat, cholesterol, and gut health: why meat may be one of the most powerful tools for natural autoimmune treatment and who should consider diets like carnivore, keto, or even the Lion Diet - popularized by people like Mikhaila Fuller (formerly Peterson) .
But we’re also going to talk about when meat doesn’t work...
what circumstances can make meat feel like the problem
and what to do if your body isn’t tolerating meat
If you've been hesitant to eat meat or wondering if you should include meat on a journey to eating healthier - this episode is for you.
