Charles became fascinated by the benefits of lard on the skin when he made the connection between the biology of humans and pigs. The origins of Farrow all started after a long day out in the July Tennessee sun. Charles decided to use some lard from his farm to protect his skin from peeling out of necessity and it wasn't until the next day that he realized his skin never peeled and his burn had vanished. At that point, Charles realized he was on to something. Now, Charles is on a mission to bring lard-based skincare to the masses and convince people to throw away their toxic skin creams.Key topics discussed:- The benefits of cooking and consuming nutrient-dense, whole foods- The negative effects of modern lifestyle choices on physical health and how they can be reversed​- The significance of using natural skincare products over conventional ones​- The importance of understanding and improving metabolic health​- The role of mental belief and positive mindset in the healing processTimestamps:(01:00) - The Bastardization of Pork in Media(02:00) - Historical Use of Lard and Tallow(05:00) - Modern Pig Breeding and Phenotypes(10:00) - Transition to Seed Oils and Fast Food Industry(12:00) - Skincare with Animal Fats(15:00) - Discussion on Sunscreens and Natural Alternatives(20:00) - Societal Health Decline and Reversal Opportunities*** SPONSOR ***CrowdHealth - They're providing an alternative to health care coverage in the form of a community-based approach.We've both used this service for the last two years. Check out their new Carnivore Crowd and if you sign up be sure to use code MEATMAFIA for a discount on your first 3 months!*** LINKS***Check out our Newsletter - Food for Thought - to dramatically improve your health this year!Join The Meat Mafia community Telegram group for daily conversations to keep up with what’s happening between episodes of the show.Connect with Farrow Skincare:WebsiteTwitterInstagramConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietThe Carnivore Bar - Use Code 'MEATMAFIA' for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarPerennial Pastures - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaFarrow Skincare - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' at checkout for 20% OFFHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Snax - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' Crispy, airy meat chips that melt in your mouth.
