The Benefits of a Carnivore Diet for Some Individuals
In this podcast episode, Dr. Gundry discusses the potential benefits of a carnivore diet for individuals who are highly sensitive to plant proteins. He shares a personal example of a lifelong vegan friend who experienced significant health improvements and increased energy after following a carnivore diet for 30 days. However, Dr. Gundry emphasizes that a long-term carnivore diet may not be ideal due to potential negative effects on the gut microbiome and the excessive production of hydrogen sulfide gas, which can be damaging to the colon. Long-term studies on the effects of a carnivore diet are currently lacking.
