Forget trail mix. What if survival food wasn’t junk? That’s what my guest Phillip Meece set out to change. Phillip is a former combat medic who served in Afghanistan and when he got sick in the Army, it put him on a lifelong mission to figure out nutrition that actually supports health. Out of that experience came The Carnivore Bar, a shelf stable nutrient dense version of pemmican made from meat, fat, and salt.

Phillip and I dig into how his childhood in Mongolia, his years in the Army, and even his time in theater shaped his vision for food that heals. We talk about what happens when access to real nutrition gets tied up in hierarchy, why health has to be for everyone, and how ancestral foods can point the way forward.

Key Takeaways

Food That Serves – Phillip created The Carnivore Bar so people would have access to real nutrition when they need it most.

Ancestral Wisdom – Meat, fat, and salt come together in a modern take on pemmican that is both simple and powerful.

Health for Everyone – Nutrition has to be accessible for all, not just for those with privilege or rank.

Lessons From the Army – Getting sick as a combat medic gave Phillip clarity on how broken the food system really is.

Unintended Consequences – From fridge space in hospitals to rations in the field, who gets access to good food often comes down to hierarchy.

A New Standard for Convenience – The Carnivore Bar proves that shelf stable food can still be truly nourishing.
