#218: Three Days to Mental Freedom: The Shocking Story of How Carnivore Diet Saved a Suicidal Man's Life - Mark Ennis
Mark Ennis's story reads like a medical impossibility, yet it's devastatingly real. From a 44-pound anorexic teenager whose heart stopped, to a 300-pound rugby player, to a suicidal man contemplating driving into a pole at 120 mph—his journey through the extremes of human suffering culminates in one of the most powerful testimonies about the connection between diet and mental health you'll ever hear.
In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Mark shares how three days on a carnivore diet eliminated decades of depression, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts. He reveals why he burned his nutrition certificates, how the medical system failed him repeatedly, and why he believes food addiction is behind the mental health crisis plaguing our world.
This isn't just another diet success story. It's a window into how our modern food environment creates the very problems our healthcare system claims to treat. Mark's transformation from a broken man to a thriving carnivore coach offers hope for anyone trapped in cycles of depression, eating disorders, or metabolic dysfunction.
Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald guide this profound discussion about the emerging science connecting metabolic health to mental wellness, the institutional barriers preventing this information from reaching those who need it most, and practical steps for anyone ready to reclaim their life through ancestral nutrition.
