TL;DR: If this show has helped you in any way, please consider supporting me on Patreon at patreon.com/carnivorecast so we can reach more people with positive information about health and the carnivore diet!

Story time:

It’s hard to believe that 8 months ago I started the Carnivore Cast with the intention of making a couple episodes 🎥🥩

 

Since then I’ve been overwhelmed by the support, generosity, and friendliness I’ve received from guests, fans, and other podcasters to propel me to place where I’m putting out an episode a week, reaching thousands of people, and helping them to examine their health and nutrition for the better 🧠👏

 

I have historically and continue to be ad-free and collected zero revenue (even though some of you have generously asked how you can give), but several conversations with friends and mentors have made me realize that to take this to the next level, fight false nutrition information, and help as many people as possible with a carnivore diet, I need help, specifically funding. 🙏😁

 

For that reason I’ve decided to incorporate and launch a Patreon page. If this podcast has helped you in any way, please consider supporting us and our growth  through a donation 👏🥓

 

Running a podcast is far from free, and beyond covering costs your support will help me scale it even more, improve the quality and quantity of content, and deliver more value to you in new and exciting ways 🤩🧠

 

 

THANK YOU for listening and being a fan, regardless of whether you choose to donate. I’m grateful for the privilege of making a show that people listen to and I will never take that for granted 👏☝️❤️

Jeremy Hannan (@bionicsloth) has been a carnivore for almost a year improving several aspects of his health including his weight (he lost over 30 lbs in 100 days), sleep, skin, mood, and much more. Jeremy was initially quite skeptical of the carnivore diet and searched diligently to find research to disprove it, but the scientific facts he uncovered supported it, so he gave it a try.

 

 

Phillip Meece (@TheCarnivoreBar) is the creator of The Carnivore Bar, A Zero Carb High Fat Meat Bar, along with his wife Merry Ellen.

 

I first had a chance to try The Carnivore Bar at the Boulder Carnivore Conference and I loved it. Phillip is not sponsoring the show and I don’t get any money for this. I’m just a huge fan of a high integrity entrepreneur creating an awesome product for the carnivore community!

 

Phillip is a former combat medic, having served in Afghanistan in 2011. He was inspired by the horrific nutrition from the soldiers he cared for and that he sees now everywhere as a civilian.

 

Paul Saladino (@PaulSaladinoMD) is a classically trained MD, as well as a functional medicine practitioner. He received his MD from the University of Arizona in 2015 and has a IFMCP as well.

 

He went on to residency at the University of Washington in psychiatry. His interests include the autoimmune basis of psychiatric illness, connections between the microbiome and mental health, and nutritional biochemistry. In his practice he is passionate about understanding and correcting the roots of disease.

 

Paul most recently has taken an interest in the carnivore diet as an intervention for health.

He also authors HighSteaks.com, a wiki and treasure trove of ketogenic and carnivore information, as well as his personal blog Ashsimmonds.com.

 

This episode is a bit different than others where I interview top researchers, doctors, and long-term carnivore veterans. Last week I attended the first ever Boulder Carnivore Conference, hosted by Amber O'Hearn, where I had a chance to meet and listen to talks by Shawn Baker, Amber O'Hearn, Siobhan Huggins, Dr. Georgia Ede, Mikhaila Peterson, Peter Ballerstadt, and many more! Here I discuss my takeaways and the overall great time I had at the conference.
