Today, I am blessed to host a conversation with Dr. Shawn Baker, a prominent advocate for the carnivore diet. They delve into the diet's benefits for metabolic health, particularly its effectiveness in reducing visceral fat. Dr. Baker shares insights on how a meat-based diet can simplify nutrition, improve gut health, and potentially alleviate conditions like IBS and IBD. The discussion also explores the differences between ketogenic and carnivore diets, the role of protein in insulin response, and the importance of a supportive community in achieving health goals. Both speakers emphasize a holistic approach to health over isolated biomarkers.

Show Highlights:

• Overview of the carnivore diet and its principles.
• Benefits of a meat-based diet for metabolic health and visceral fat loss.
• Comparison between the carnivore diet and ketogenic diets.
• Challenges in measuring visceral fat and its health implications.
• Impact of plant foods and anti-nutrients on gut health.
• Role of dietary choices in managing chronic health conditions.
• Discussion on cholesterol levels and their relationship with diet.
• Importance of a supportive community when adopting new dietary practices.
• Insights on the gut microbiome and fiber's necessity in nutrition.
