RUNGA Radio 108 | Erin Blevins - Lessons of an Ex-Vegan CrossFit Chef’s New Carnivore Lifestyle
In this week’s show, I weigh up the benefits of the Carnivore Diet with cookbook author, chef, and avid CrossFit competitor Erin Blevins. Erin has a background in competitive distance running, and she was introduced to CrossFit in 2016 while working as a chef for the Superman actor, Henry Cavill, during the filming of Justice League. As well as cooking for superheroes, Erin has worked as a nutritional coach for professional athletes, baseball players, and Navy Seals. She is the founder of shutupEAT and shutupWORK, and last year, she co-wrote The Essential Carnivore Diet Cookbook, a collection of meat-based recipes designed to promote healing and weight loss.
As an athlete who has competed at a high level in multiple sports, Erin understands what foods are needed to fuel high-intensity exercise. She talks about her transition from vegan to carnivore and describes how shifting to a primarily meat-based diet has helped improve her health and performance. She sets out her organic approach to coaching and nutrition, emphasizes the character-forming aspects of competition, and explains how to keep motivated during the pandemic.

Immune Charge+® Zinc Ionophore
This ground-breaking product helps increase cellular zinc levels throughout the body. Zinc is a vital trace mineral that is traditionally difficult to absorb, yet essential for overall immune function, gut health, inflammatory and hormonal balance, brain function, and more.
Inside a convenient, easy to swallow capsule, zinc is combined with the plant compounds quercetin, luteolin, and hesperetin, to form an advanced “ionophore” complex for enhanced zinc absorption. These specific zinc-binding plant compounds act as sophisticated “chaperones,” shuttling zinc through cell membranes for powerful direct delivery of nature’s classic immune-supporting mineral.
Kion Coffee
The sad truth us that less than 3% of coffee on the planet is certified organic. Many coffees are pesticide-soaked or grown in fields that are doused with herbicides, and almost all coffees have traces of mycotoxins. KION Coffee is, without question, the cleanest coffee out there.
