How Steven Discovered Better Food Habits

In this episode, Dr. Jockers uncovers the real story behind red meat and cholesterol. He breaks down why processed carbs, seed oils, and insulin resistance—not red meat—are driving heart disease. You'll also learn how cholesterol actually supports cell health and hormone balance.

You'll discover how grass-fed red meat fuels your body with essential nutrients like carnitine, zinc, and vitamin B12 while reducing inflammation. Dr. Jockers explains why nutrient quality matters more than quantity and how modern research challenges old diet myths.

If you've ever felt bloated, sluggish, or uneasy after eating meat, this episode shows what's really going on. Learn how low stomach acid, sluggish bile, or gut imbalances may be the issue—and the simple, natural ways to fix them for better digestion and energy.
