It is a well-known fact that dairy products are a great source of protein. But there's more to it than that: dairy can also provide benefits for your body and mind.  In this interview with Dr Bill Schindler, we discuss the benefits of raw dairy and how to eat like a human.  Let's go into detail about what makes raw dairy so special, how it can help you achieve your fitness goals and why it's an important part of a balanced diet. Raw milk, like all other dairy products, is the best form of milk you can consume. It is more nutritious than conventional milk because it contains beneficial probiotics and enzymes that are destroyed during pasteurization.  Raw milk also contains higher levels of beneficial minerals that are lost during the processing of other types of dairy products. For example, raw cheese has higher levels of calcium than pasteurized cheese. These factors make raw dairy much easier to digest than conventional forms of dairy such as pasteurized or homogenized cheeses which may cause bloating or indigestion in some people. Dairy Benefits Dairy products are a good source of protein and fat, which can help you feel fuller longer on a Carnivore Diet.  Dairy products are also a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which both play an important role in keeping your bones strong. Plus, they’re packed with B vitamins that help your body convert food into energy. Dairy is one of the best sources of iodine, magnesium and potassium — nutrients that keep you energized by fueling every cell in your body with oxygen. Dairy is a great source of protein and fat, especially when it comes from grass-fed cows Dairy is a great source of protein and fat, especially when it comes from grass-fed cows. You'll find a good dose of calcium in dairy products, along with vitamins A and D. Calcium is important for building strong bones; vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyesight, and vitamin D helps your body absorb more calcium from food. Milk is also an excellent source of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin (vitamin B3), which are both essential for the production of energy in your body.

The OMAD diet is a form of intermittent fasting that allows you to eat all your meals in just one meal. The idea behind this diet is that you can get all the benefits of fasting and calorie restriction without actually restricting your calorie intake. What is OMAD? This form of fasting has gained popularity in recent years, but it isn't new: Eating one meal per day has been practised for centuries by religious groups like Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists (though not all religions permit or encourage fasting). How to start One Meal A Day? You can start with a 2MAD diet. This means you eat 2 meals per day. These meals should both consist of animal-based foods that are high in fat and protein. When you are only eating one or two meals a day it's important to eat the most nutrient-dense foods, which is a carnivore or keto lifestyle.  Pair a Carnivore Diet with eating OMAD A carnivore diet is a high-fat, zero-carbohydrate diet. It's become more popular in recent years, thanks to stories of rapid weight loss and increased energy. You may have heard that the carnivore diet can be combined with intermittent fasting — and you're right! Fasting is a great way to increase autophagy (the process where your body clears out old cells). Why should you start? OMAD is a great way to lose weight, get into ketosis and improve your mental health. There are other benefits too: It can help people get into ketosis faster than any other diet out there because they're only eating once per day. Eating all at once also prevents overeating which helps keep blood sugar levels stable - especially good news if someone has diabetes! This means no more crashes after eating something sugary either!   Is OMAD healthy and safe? If eaten in moderation, OMAD is a healthy way to lose weight. It's very effective for burning fat, and it can also be used as an appetite suppressant. However, if you're trying to lose weight with OMAD, remember that some people may not need as much food as others. If you're one of those people who don't eat enough on OMAD (like me), your body will start storing fat again because it thinks there isn't enough food coming in. You should add some extra meals if this happens to you so that your body won’t keep storing fat unnecessarily!

What is the Carnivore Diet? It's a zero-carb, high-fat diet that consists of meat and water. It made headlines in the United States when Dr Shawn Baker appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast and advocated for it as an effective treatment for autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Why you should eat nose to tail? You're probably familiar with the nose-to-tail eating trend, which is all about consuming all parts of an animal. Nose-to-tail eating has been practised for centuries and is a sustainable way to eat because it utilizes every part of the animal. You can apply this same principle to an animal-based diet by incorporating organs into your meals: Liver pâté (you can also use kidney or heart if you prefer) Pork heart stewed  Chicken liver mousse  Dr Bill Schindler has some advice for you: eat like a human. Being an omnivore, humans have evolved to eat the whole animal, so there's no need to be afraid of getting protein from meat when it's done right—you can enjoy your steak in all its glory!   But don't forget that there is plenty of nutrition from eating whole animals, including muscle meat, organs and blood.

B1 vitamin deficiency is an underrated yet overlooked condition that can lead to serious chronic disease. In this interview with Elliot Overton, we discuss vitamin B1 Thiamine and why the carnivore diet may not fix all health conditions. What is vitamin B1 (Thiamine)? B1 is a very important vitamin that regulates energy metabolism, it's important for brain health, memory, cognition and neurological function. Typically we do not hear about the importance of B1 for overall health, rather the focus is on B group vitamins and B12. Why is B1 deficiency so important, and how to treat it? A deficiency in B1 can cause some major side effects, the main one being fatigue. It can also cause brain fog, peripheral nerve dysfunction, and brain diseases like Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.  The best way to treat it is through supplementation of high-dose vitamin B1. Elliot discusses what to look for regarding quality. Is the Carnivore Diet the best diet for health? Elliot Overton believes the carnivore diet is great for overall health, but may not treat serious underlying micronutrient deficiencies that may have been present for years. The carnivore diet is great as you get most of your nutrients from fatty meats, eggs, seafood and butter. However, if you still don't feel 100% after a carnivore diet or lion diet, further investigation may be needed.

Kelly Hogan has been a strict carnivore for 12.5 years, eating mostly beef, some salt and water. Like many of us she experienced binge eating disorder and sugar addiction and has cured this through the carnivore diet. What is a binge eating disorder? Binging eating disorder is a pattern of overconsuming typically processed carbohydrates, then restricting and binging again. It is a repetitive cycle that causes physical and mental distress. Typically binge eating comes with body images issues, and childhood trauma and the pattern keeps happening until you solve the root cause How can the carnivore diet help with binge eating disorders? The carnivore diet is a zero-carb diet and is packed full of nutrients. Typically when we binge, we overeat on sugar and carbs; that also makes sugar addiction worse as well. This was my experience in my 20s. Over-consuming carbs and restricting what I was eating, over-exercising, and calorie counting as well. The carnivore diet takes away the addictive nature of many processed foods. Meat is truly healing and somewhat benign when it comes to addiction.
