ADVICE

Six-Week Poultry And Seafood Reset

  • Do a 6–8 week 'Chicken and the Sea' reset by eating only pasture-raised poultry and wild-caught seafood to calm gut and brain inflammation.
  • Fast 16–18 hours daily and drink RO or mineral sparkling water to give your gut repair time.
INSIGHT

Sugar Molecule Drives Carnivore Inflammation

  • NU5Ac in poultry and fish matches human gut sugars while NU5Gc in beef, pork, lamb, and dairy provokes immune attack on our own tissues.
  • Replacing NU5Gc sources reduces antibodies that damage gut, joints, blood-brain barrier, and vessels.
ADVICE

Use Perilla Oil To Block Gut Endotoxins

  • Use perilla oil exclusively during the reset because it blocks LPS (endotoxin) from crossing the gut wall and traveling on fats.
  • Avoid olive, avocado, coconut, other seed oils, and ghee while gut is healing.
