The main idea is that a carnivore diet can resolve chronic inflammation and health issues that conventional approaches like calorie restriction cannot, as demonstrated by JT's personal experience and experiments.


KISMET

JT discovered that while on a carnivore diet, he could consume up to 4,500 calories daily without gaining weight, contradicting conventional weight management theories that focus primarily on calorie counts rather than food quality.


EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Carnivore JT, a former sports medicine professional and fitness trainer who once firmly believed that weight management was simply about "calories in, calories out." JT shares how his health declined in his thirties despite following conventional dietary advice, then dramatically improved after adopting a carnivore diet. His personal transformation included the elimination of lifelong eczema, psoriasis, acne, and joint pain from previous sports injuries.

JT discusses his self-experiments comparing carnivore eating with standard American diet consumption, finding he could eat far more calories on carnivore without weight gain. He addresses how scientific research is often influenced by industry funding, making it difficult for consumers to find unbiased information. The main idea that emerges is that food quality matters more than calorie counting, and a meat-based diet can resolve chronic inflammation issues that conventional approaches cannot address.

Why This Former Sports Medicine Expert Switched to a Carnivore Diet - Carnivore JT

The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.


KISMET

While many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.


EPISODE SUMMARY

Ben Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.

From Suicidal to Optimal Health: Ben Azadi's Metabolic Revolution

The healthcare system is complex and challenging to navigate, especially for seniors and their caregivers, but preparation and knowledge can help you maintain control, advocate effectively, and achieve better outcomes during healthcare transitions.


KISMET

While most assume senior care facilities and nursing homes operate based on modern nutritional science, many still follow outdated dietary guidelines based on the food pyramid, which may negatively impact metabolic health when seniors need more protein and healthy fats for optimal recovery and function.


EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, master's prepared nurse Cheryl Field shares insights from her 36 years of experience in senior care. She discusses how understanding the healthcare system can help aging adults maintain control during transitions like emergency room visits and hospital stays. Field explains the critical differences between traditional Medicare and managed care options that seniors must navigate when turning 65. She offers practical advice on preparing for healthcare events, including what to bring to the emergency room and how to approach rehabilitation stays positively. Field emphasizes the importance of advance directives, creating a supportive home environment, and embracing a mindset that accepts assistance when needed. The conversation also explores how improved nutrition and metabolic health can benefit both seniors and their caregivers, potentially reducing medication dependence and improving quality of life.

Healthcare Transitions: A Nurse's Guide to Helping Seniors Navigate the System - Cheryl Field

Courtney Luna's personal transformation from a lifelong yo-yo dieter to a healthier person through a carnivore diet has not only helped her lose 55 pounds but also significantly improved her mental health, allowing her to discontinue anxiety medication.


KISMET

Despite facing intense criticism online only after removing vegetables from her diet (not when sharing her previous diets), Courtney's carnivore cookbook has found unexpected success among non-carnivore households, where picky eaters are enjoying her meat-centric recipes.


EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald talk with Courtney Luna, author of "Carnivore in the Kitchen." Courtney shares her journey from being a yo-yo dieter since age 13 to finding success with a carnivore diet. After trying numerous diets including paleo and keto, she gained 40 pounds in four months when attempting to eat "everything in moderation." Her switch to a carnivore diet led to a 55-pound weight loss, improved mental health, and freedom from anxiety medication. Courtney discusses how she manages this way of eating with her family, teaching her children about nutrition while giving them some freedom with food choices. She explains how her cooking background as a yacht chef helped her create her cookbook, which includes creative recipes using ingredients like pork panko (ground pork rinds) to make everything from chicken nuggets to cinnamon rolls. Courtney also addresses the surprising online backlash she received only after removing vegetables from her diet.

Carnivore Diet Success: How Courtney Luna Lost 55 Pounds and Improved Mental Health

Roxana Soetebeer, once considered a "hopeless" type 2 diabetic on 50 units of insulin, completely reversed her condition through a ketogenic diet, demonstrating that type 2 diabetes is not the "chronic progressive disease" her doctors claimed it to be.


KISMET

When Roxana's blood sugar levels dangerously spiked to the 400s, her desperate late-night call to a friend led to a life-changing recommendation to watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet – a coincidence that completely transformed her health trajectory and sparked her mission to help others.


EPISODE SUMMARY

Roxana Soetebeer shares her remarkable journey from severe type 2 diabetes to complete remission. After being told her condition was "chronic and progressive," Roxana found herself with dangerously high blood sugar levels around 400. In a desperate moment, a friend recommended she watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet. Within days of starting keto, Roxana saw dramatic improvements. She cut her insulin dose in half immediately and eventually eliminated it completely. Beyond diabetes reversal, her kidney disease, fatty liver disease (NASH), and acid reflux resolved as well. Roxana discusses her struggle with sugar addiction, comparing it to other substance addictions and explaining why "moderation" fails for true addicts. Now a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner, she runs a Facebook group with over 20,000 members and advocates for others. Her story challenges the conventional medical approach that treats metabolic conditions as inevitable, progressive diseases requiring lifelong medication.

From 'Hopeless' to Healthy: How Roxana Soetebeer Reversed Type 2 Diabetes

Environmental toxins cause epigenetic changes that make fat cells malfunction, leading to obesity that is difficult to reverse through diet alone.


KISMET

The average newborn baby has over 200 toxic chemicals in their placental blood before they take their first breath, and laboratory animals on strictly controlled diets are getting fatter despite no changes to their food intake.


EPISODE SUMMARY

In this compelling episode, pulmonologist Dr. Stewart Lonky shares groundbreaking insights about why traditional approaches to weight loss often fail. Drawing from his book "Outsmarting Obesity," he explains how environmental toxins cause fat cells to malfunction, making weight management increasingly difficult. Dr. Lonky reveals that fat cells are actually endocrine organs that become dysfunctional when they grow too large, leading to reduced oxygen absorption and improper hormone signaling. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when he discusses how common household items like non-stick cookware, air fresheners, and even stain-resistant fabrics contribute to obesity through chemicals called obesogens. These substances trigger epigenetic changes that can affect weight regulation for multiple generations. Dr. Lonky offers practical solutions through his AIPE protocol (Accept, Identify, Prevent, Eliminate) and explains how specific compounds like zeolites can help remove toxic substances from the body.

Beyond Calories: Understanding the Real Causes of Weight Gain with Dr. Lonky - Dr. Stewart Lonky

CrowdHealth is revolutionizing healthcare by creating a community-funded alternative to traditional insurance, where members pay cash for medical services at significantly lower rates while maintaining high-quality care.


KISMET

While most would assume large insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare (the 7th largest company by revenue globally) would negotiate the best rates, CrowdHealth members are actually securing medical procedures at about 50% of what insurance companies pay - typically around 130-140% of Medicare rates compared to insurance companies' 250-300%.


EPISODE SUMMARY

In this compelling interview, Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, explains how his company is disrupting traditional healthcare financing. After a personal experience with insurance denying coverage for his daughter's medical procedure, Schoonover discovered that paying cash for healthcare services often costs significantly less than using insurance. CrowdHealth now serves 10,000 members who fund each other's healthcare needs, having processed 20,000 bills over three years. Members typically pay half what traditional insurance costs, without networks or complex paperwork. The company has successfully handled major medical events, including a $1 million emergency that was negotiated down to $200,000. CrowdHealth is also pioneering a new approach to wellness by offering discounts to metabolically healthy members, creating financial incentives for maintaining good health. The community aspect encourages members to make cost-conscious healthcare decisions, as they're helping fellow members rather than faceless insurance companies.

How Cash-Pay Healthcare is Cutting Medical Costs by 50%: A CrowdHealth Success Story - Andy Schoonover w/ CrowdHealth

EPISODE SUMMARY

After a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel. 

NOTABLE QUOTE

"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."

Is Vegetable Oil a Bigger Driver of Chronic Disease than Sugar? Dr. Chris Knobbe, MD

Living in a constant state of stress and unworthiness triggered genetic changes that led to disease, while conscious lifestyle choices and emotional healing reversed those conditions.


KISMET

Research shows that emotional trauma can be passed down through generations via genetic markers, but positive lifestyle changes can create new neural pathways that override these inherited patterns - as demonstrated in mice studies where fear responses were inherited but could be rewired.


EPISODE SUMMARY

Dr. Kien Vuu, an interventional radiologist, shares his transformation from being overweight, diabetic, and on multiple medications to achieving optimal health through lifestyle changes. Despite his medical expertise, Dr. Vuu found himself trapped in a cycle of stress-driven behaviors that stemmed from childhood experiences as a Vietnamese refugee. He explains how our cells constantly respond to our environment, thoughts, and emotions, affecting how our genes express themselves. This process, known as epigenetics, means that while we inherit certain genetic tendencies, we can influence their expression through five key areas: physical health (sleep, nutrition, movement), mental state, emotional well-being, social connections, and sense of purpose. Dr. Vuu describes how addressing underlying emotional patterns and trauma can make healthy choices easier to maintain. The episode explores the fascinating connection between psychological well-being and cellular health, offering hope that conscious lifestyle changes can reverse chronic health conditions.

Body, Mind, and DNA: How Lifestyle Changes Transform Your Genes - Dr. Kien Vuu

Dr. Robert Kiltz, a renowned fertility specialist and founder of CNY Fertility Centers, reveals how our modern "healthy" diet may be triggering widespread inflammation and disease. In this compelling episode, Dr. Kiltz shares his personal journey of healing through a carnivore diet and explains the fascinating science behind why fatty meat might be the optimal human food.


KEY POINTS

 * Traditional "healthy" diets high in raw vegetables and lean meat may be causing chronic inflammation through plant toxins and antigens
 * The glycocalyx, a sugar-based cellular coating, plays a crucial role in health and disease - plant sugars can disrupt this protective barrier
 * Modern food processing and supermarkets have fundamentally changed our relationship with meat, removing essential fatty portions
 * Chronic diseases may be manifestations of allergic reactions to plant compounds

Why Fatty Meat Heals: A Doctor's Revolutionary Health Discovery - Dr. Robert Kiltz

He was a morbidly obese heart surgeon. Through high school, college, med school and surgical training, he followed the U.S. dietary guidelines for both diet and exercise. Yet nothing he did could keep the weight off. Each day in the operating theater he would split open the chests of people just like himself. He was heading for the operating table and knew he had to find solutions that worked. In 2016, he finally found a way to lose 100 pounds and keep it off. Now - in addition to doing heart surgery - he helps people just like himself get healthy, lose the weight and keep it off. Dr. Philip Ovadia is now a rebel M.D. working to keep people OFF his operating table.
