Is the Carnivore Diet Right for You? (plus: how often SHOULD you poop)

News flash: I DO prescribe the Carnivore Diet. In today’s episode, you’ll learn why I recommend it for certain patients AND how to do it safely and effectively — without compromising your heart health or your longevity.

But that’s not all!

I discuss the hidden dangers lurking in your chicken and how to find cleaner chicken options for you and your family. Speaking of upgrading your clean protein sources, I’m going to talk about the best seafood options.

And don’t even get me started on salmon – there’s a label you should absolutely avoid!

And finally, I’m asking you to ditch the quinoa and try THIS polyphenol-rich, lectin free grain that doesn’t get a lot of attention – but it should and how you can incorporate this ancient grain into your diet.

As I do every week, it’s time to uncover the hidden truths of what’s helpful and what’s harmful, so YOU can make better, more informed choices for a healthier, happier you.
