CarnivoreCrowd - CrowdHealth
The CarnivoreCrowd over at CrowdHealth is bringing together metabolically healthy people to share in medical expenses. It's incredible. They're providing an alternative to health care coverage in the form of a community-based approach. It's pretty simple - you pay a monthly fee and then when your medical expenses come up you simply cover them with cash (which is often times 50% less) and then the crowd bands together and splits those costs through a crowdfunding model. We've both used this service for the last two years and love it.
Check out their new CarnivoreCrowd and if you sign up be sure to use code MEATMAFIA for a discount on your first 3 months!
We Feed Raw
I've been a dog owner for the last two years and I can confidently say that nothing has made a bigger difference than feeding my dog, Sunny, raw food. I've been feeding her We Feed Raw for the last 18 months and Sunny has transformed into the healthiest dog I've possibly ever seen (I am biased though).
If you're a dog owner who's tired of feeding their dog kibble, check out We Feed Raw and use code MEAT to get 30% off.
