    Welcome to The Road to Carnivore podcast!

    This 13-minute episode gives you an idea of what this entire series will be about, and the many topics that will be covered.

    The main argument in this series is that the further you go down the road to carnivore, the healthier you will be. Eat more meat, and less plants, for better health.

    Sound crazy? I hear you. I used to believe that plants were the healthiest food and that the more I ate, the better. Meanwhile my health got worse and worse, and ended up in a really bad place.

    I didn’t understand why. I was drinking all the green juice and eating lots of salads and raw vegetables because that’s what was supposed to make me healthy. After everything I’ve learned about plants, it makes total sense to me why this type of eating went horribly for me.

    I want to challenge the narrative that meat is bad and unhealthy, and invite you to explore the possibility that meat is actually the healthiest food you can eat.

    A few of the topics we will dig into in this series:

    • Why meat is nutritionally superior to plants
    • The many toxins and poisons that plants have
    • How to overcome food addiction
    • Why it’s important to realize how insane our modern food environment is
    • The metabolic benefits, autoimmune benefits, hormone benefits, and other major system benefits to carnivore
    • Weight loss and fitness
    • The environmental angle of meat vs plants
    • Why carnivore is actually more affordable than people think
    • How to handle holidays and social events
    • How to transition to carnivore and how to stick with carnivore long term
    • The nuances between beef, chicken, pork, and other meats
    • Why saturated animal fats like butter, tallow, and lard are so great

    02. My Story of How and Why I Came to Carnivore
    Apr 27 2021

    Welcome to episode 2 of The Road to Carnivore podcast!

    In this 20-minute episode I share my story of how I came to carnivore and why I eat this way.

    I think when most people consider the idea of going carnivore, it can seem completely unimaginable to picture that for your own life.

    When you hear about someone choosing to eat only animal foods, the obvious thought is: “Why would someone do that?”

    This episode answers that question so you can understand why and how someone would end up eating like this.

    03. Nutrition - Why Meat Is Better Than Plants
    Apr 27 2021

    Welcome to episode 3 of The Road to Carnivore podcast!

    In this 9-minute episode I explain why meat is better than plants from a nutrition perspective.

    With the current narrative in food and the dietary recommendations of the US government’s food pyramid, it’s fair to question if eating only animal foods will result in suboptimal nutrition.

    You can get the vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and nutrients you need from a carnivore way of eating, and you actually get and absorb way more of these things by not eating plants.

    Many plants contain antinutrients, which inhibit the absorption of essential nutrients like iron, calcium, zinc, and more.

    Animal foods contain significantly higher amounts of nutrients than plants, and the nutrients are in active usable forms that are bioavailable to us. There are also some nutrients that you can only get from animal foods.

    Also, not all proteins are the same in digestibility. Animal proteins are much more digestible and usable for the body than plant sourced proteins.

    Bottom line: You don’t need to “eat the rainbow” to get the nutrients you need. A carnivore way of eating gives you the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats that the body needs to thrive.

I listen again and again

I wish that you would add more to it, there's more you can add, and you could also do interviews with people like Ken Berry. I listen several times a week, play it for my daughter, and recommended it to the members of the NSB-Wellness group which is coached by Neisha Salas-Berry, wife of Dr. Ken Berry. Neisha put her hashimoto's into remission with a meat heavy Ketovore diet, and coaches Carnivore as an elimination diet.

Clear, concise and perfectly organized information

I love how this podcast is organized and is just the right length so I can listen to 1 or 2 while driving to work. She provides the science and personal stories in balance.

THIS WORK and Joanne tells you how to do it right!

Carnivore works! but you need to know what to do and what NOT to do. You need information from people that have gone through it and don't have an agenda. That IS Joanne. She is not going to tell you what you want to hear. She tells you what works. I'm down 70 pounds in the last 8 months and learned some of what she tells you, the hard way. Joanne's advice is spot on and here advice is very helpful. I wish I would have had it 8 months ago!

Thanks

Even though I've read Jason Fung's books I need to be reminded of this reality. You do a great job of synthesizing a lot of good information on each episode. Thanks for the reminder that for some of us carbs will always be a no no if we want to be healthy.

Great support for the mind on carnivore

I love the content on this episode and how it addresses failure and how to handle it BEFORE it happens when living this lifestyle.
