151. Stephen Lashbrook: “I Was Ready to Die—Then I Found the Lion Diet”. Lash the Lion’s 30-Year Healing Journey
After three decades of battling psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, depression, and suicidal thoughts, Stephen Lashbrook—aka Lash the Lion—walked out of his doctor’s office for the last time. Refusing immune-suppressing injections with suicidal side effects, he turned to faith, fasting, and fatty meat. What followed was nothing short of miraculous.
In this deeply moving episode, Lash shares how discovering Michaela Peterson’s story led him to the Lion Diet and a complete transformation:
🧠 100% remission of depression and suicidal ideation
🩹 99% clearance of skin conditions and chronic pain
🥩 Mastering meat-based cooking and becoming a healing advocate
🛑 Rejecting pharmaceuticals and reclaiming food freedom
🏕️ Launching the Carnivore Healing Retreat to guide others face-to-face
🙏 Reconnecting with faith and discovering divine purpose
Dr. Kiltz and Lash explore the emotional, spiritual, and biological roots of suffering—and how animal-based nutrition, community, and storytelling can heal what modern medicine often overlooks.
📦 Bonus: Lash shares his favorite cuts of meat, brisket oven hacks, and why he believes social media is the new social medicine.
