Carnivore Aurelius

People are fed up with the mainstream way of living. The so-called experts have presided over the biggest destruction in health the world has almost ever seen. I mean, in the last 50 years alone, obesity has gone up from 10% of people to 40% of people. And today as it stands, over 70% of people have a chronic disease.

One of the biggest problems with [seed oils] is that they accumulate in your fat tissues for up to 8 years. And we are in totally unknown, unparalleled territory when it comes to seed oils. We don't know what happens to humans when we have this brand new fat in our tissues.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of chemicals at well exceeding the guidelines EWG recommends linked to cancer, infertility, heart disease, just about every disease today. Heavy metals, like lead. Pharmaceuticals that you pee out are recycled back into the water supply. So, there's birth control; there's SSRIs. There's pesticides in the tap water. It is truly one of the worst cocktails you could be putting in your body.

You have to be kind of so ignorant of who we are today to live like we do—to live in these boxes in cities, and living these could incredibly unfulfilling lives where we work for a boss we hate, we're under blue light all day, we eat seed oil slop for dinner. This is just so out of alignment with our entire evolutionary history.

Studies consistently show that veganism and vegetarianism are associated with higher rates of strokes, higher rates of depression, higher rates of infertility, sperm count declines, hormonal issues, so on and so forth.

If I were to define my diet now... I would suggest it is a highly nutrient-dense, easily digestible diet. Both are key. So, for me, the carbohydrates that are easiest to digest, in the following order, starts with fruits, honey, maple syrup.

Another category is actually polyester clothing. And I think this specially problematic for women. There are studies showing polyester bras, in particular, leech BPA and some of these forever chemicals (the PFOs) into the bloodstream.

If you find yourself lost, sick, and unhappy, there's nowhere to turn. And the people you do turn to will tell you you have a problem and need medication. There are no adults left in the room with any real guidance. And the second you start to actually improve, everyone tells you you're insane and you're going the wrong way.

People's assumption is that read meat is just bro protein, but what they don't know is it's actually a multivitamin. It's full of B vitamins. It's full of taurine ... It's high in creatine.

If you're an average person today not kind of wary of everything in your environment, you're exposed to 200 to thousands of chemicals a day—novel chemicals, brand new in terms of history to our diet.

I think, for most people, they want to be outside as much as possible. And one terrifying stat from our modern world is that the average American spends 93% of their time inside. That alone can explain a lot of disease.

If you eat fries and chips and Pringles, no one will say anything; but I eat steak and eggs, and people say I'm killing myself? How does that make any sense? These are foods we've eaten for all of eternity.

You can become a new person in almost 30 day with the right diet. It's remarkable how fast your body can change, can adapt, can regenerate if you fuel yourself.

Some vegetables, sure, they're fine, but a diet that's copious in these raw vegetables is just asking for gut irritation and gut issues.

"Fasting feels really, really good at first. But it's because it's spiking your adrenaline and it's giving you this kind of rush of energy that I think in the long run, the science I've seen would suggest it's hurting you.

If you are waking up a lot during the night... try a spoonful of honey and some fruit and a little salt before bed.

After starting to eat carnivore, within three weeks, all my gut issues cleared up. My skin started to feel better. I started to have energy again. And it felt like it breathed a new life into me.

This is when I realized the doctors were no longer working for us. The doctor's supposed to be an aid in our health journey, but really, they were just covering their own butt. And that, to me, was the last straw that this whole medical profession was not going to save me.

I read something from Thomas Sowell, who I'm a big fan of. He suggested that the only way to criticize, the only way to truly speak truth to power, is to either speak posthumously when you're dead or anonymously.

Seed oils largely come from oils like canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soybean oil.

One of the mantras I've stated a number of times is 'Don't trust me.' Please don't trust me. Verify this all for yourself. I don't want to be trusted. These are things that just worked for me.

You can just take your body temperature every morning, and the body temperature is the best surrogate of your thyroid function—because thyroid is key to producing energy, and energy is required to heat up your body.

There's a great paper from Bruce Ames in the 90s, I believe it was. He suggests that 99.9% of the pesticides in our diet are actually not from the glyphosate and the pesticides they spray on the food; it's from the plant itself. They're endogenously produced.

So, as much as you can, eat nose-to-tail and eat 10 to 30, 40 grams of collagen a day. I think you'll experience immense benefits.
