The Truth About Raw Milk & Red Meat: Are They Vital for Health?

Ep. #135 Welcome back to another episode of Pursuit of Wellness. Today, Brett and Harry of The Meat Mafia join me to share their personal health journeys, shedding light on their experiences with autoimmune diseases and the challenges they faced along the way. They dive into the benefits and downsides of various diets, including the carnivore and animal-based diets, and how these have impacted their lives. They share their tips for sourcing quality meats, healthy snack recommendations, the importance of whole foods, and navigating the complexities of modern health culture. Brett and Harry discuss how healing involves more than just diet—it’s about understanding your body, managing stress, and making informed choices.
