Sleep is business. Plain and simple. Other than optimizing my food, there is nothing I have found to be more beneficial to my performance every day than optimizing my sleep. This means I don't mess around with these tenets... Light on my skin and eyes and grounding (usually through surfing) first thing in the am... I don't wear sunglasses, ever. I also don't wear contacts in my eyes during the day. 10 hour feeding window, strictly adhered to. First bite of food 630am, last bite at 430pm. You know what I eat: #Animalbased Red light in the house at night, all of them. Yes I am a lizard. All devices red screens after dark (Iris, etc). Firelight if I can. No electronics 1 hour before bed. Read a book, meditate, etc.. I do not watch TV. Ever. Cool dark room, cooling pad on bed, consistent bedtime (845-915pm). What does your nighttime routine look like? #theremembering

Plant-based pundits love to bloviate about the benefits of eating an "alkaline" diet, but is there any real science to support this?    Nope.    In this week's edition of Controversial Thoughts (available here and all podcast feeds as well as YouTube) I dig into the acid/alkaline balance and note how adding some fruit to a carnivore diet (= Animal Based diet, voila!) can be beneficial from a urinary pH perspective - which probably also reflects interstitial pH.    As I noted in last week's controversial thoughts, infants self-select for a balance of acidic/alkaline foods. Might be something for us to think about as adults, also.    #theremembering

Pierre Kory is an American critical care physician who gained attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for advocating widespread off-label use of certain drugs as treatments for COVID-19, as president and co-founder of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). Kory testified twice to the U.S. Senate regarding COVID-19. During his testimony in December 2020, Kory erroneously claimed that the antiparasitic medication ivermectin was a "wonder drug" with "miraculous effectiveness" against COVID-19   Time Stamps: 0:14:55 Podcast begins 0:15:35 What does Pierre Kory do? 0:17:55 The breaking point that Pierre is at with the medical system 0:24:05 As a front line medical worker, what does the demographic look like for the patients in the ICU? 0:26:55 Effective preventative measures everyone can do right now (before they are ever exposed to COVID) 0:35:05 What level does Pierre Kory prefer his patients vitamin D levels be at? 0:36:25 The safety of Ivermectin 0:44:35 How effective is Ivermectin against COVID? 0:54:35 What is the current Ivermectin dosage Pierre recommends? 0:59:10 At-home nebulizers or glutathione 1:02:00 Covid cases, surges, and deaths 1:09:25 The protocol for those who get COVID 1:19:40 The boards of social media are populated by people who have financial interest in pharmaceuticals 1:28:30 There are case-specific circumstances when plants can be used as medicine 1:31:45 Protocols for individuals with long-haul COVID 1:42:55 Pierre's experience with the carnivore diet   Sponsors: Heart & Soil: www.heartandsoil.co  White Oak Pastures: www.Whiteoakpastures.com, use code: CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order Belcampo: www.belcampo.com use code: CarnivoreMD for 20% off your order Eight Sleep: https://www.eightsleep.com/carnivoremd use code “CARNIVOREMD” to save $150 Lets Get Checked: 20% off your order at www.TRYLGC.com/paul

I don't have kids and I would never tell parents how to feed their children, but I get asked this question quite a bit and thought I would offer my ideas about how I might feed my kids in the future, and how I've recommended my sister feed my niece and nephew.    The short answer to this question is that kids can absolutely eat an Animal Based diet, and that doing so will avoid SO MUCH consternation at the dinner table when parents realize they don't have to force their children to eat vegetables.    As I discuss in this video, when presented with unprocessed food children naturally select meat, organs, and fruit for the majority of their diets...   Anyone with children probably already knows this. It's not hard to get kids to eat fresh fruit, or well prepared (not burned!) hamburger, etc.. but vegetables must be hidden in other foods (like eggs), or covered in sauces like ketchup (which has a ton of sugar)...    I know there will be someone in this thread who says "my kid loves vegetables!" to which I would ask- how much have you modeled this behavior for them and how many sauces are you putting on these?   I discuss a study in this video in which 6-11 month old children had no modeling of food behaviors but were allowed to self-select and they consistently went for animal foods (including organs!) and fruit.    If you don't think there's any way your kids would eat organs, consider opening a capsule or two of one of our supplements like Beef Organs from @heartandsoilsupplements over their food or mixing with applesauce etc...    If you catch them early, kids will definitely self-select organs but once a child have moved beyond a year or so without being exposed to these it's much less likely- this is where the desiccated organs can be great!   Healthy parents- healthy kids. #theremembering 

Alex Epstein is a philosopher who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of industrial and environmental progress. He founded Center for Industrial Progress (CIP) in 2011 to offer a positive, pro-human alternative to the Green movement. Alex is also the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (Penguin, 2014), a New York Times bestseller arguing that if we look at the whole picture, human flourishing requires that humanity use more fossil fuels not less. The book has been widely praised as the most persuasive argument ever made for our continuing use of fossil fuels, winning Epstein the “Most Original Thinker of 2014” award from The McLaughlin Group.    Time stamps: 0:10:59 Podcast begins with Alex Epstein 0:11:39 My take on the climate story 0:15:59 What does it mean to be "good for the climate?" 0:21:49 Ideally, we want to impact climate directly as humans 0:27:44 Go to: https://industrialprogress.com/ if interested in the release of Alex Epstein's book 0:28:29 Many of the climate arguments told to us are taken out of context 0:36:59 Elon Musk says we can make Mars livable, but a 2-degree warming of Earth will make our planet un-livable  0:39:44 Predictions from 50 years ago never came true 0:47:59 The problem with the term "climate change denyer" 0:54:54 The benefits of fossil fuels 1:00:54 The problem with solar and wind power 1:07:54 The clean energy standard goals from the current administration 1:15:29 Final points with Alex Epstein: let's think about a livable planet vs. an un-impacted planet 1:18:59 Where to find more of Alex Epstein   Sponsors: Heart & Soil: www.heartandsoil.co  White Oak Pastures: www.Whiteoakpastures.com, use code: CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order Belcampo: www.belcampo.com use code: CarnivoreMD for 20% off your order BLUblox: https://blublox.cc/ CARNIVOREMD for 15% off Lets Get Checked: 20% off your order at www.TRYLGC.com/paul

If you saw my "What I eat in a day" video you know that I've been including fruit and honey in my diet for a while now and feel much better with these... In fact, I'm going to go so far as to say that I have a number of concerns about long-term ketosis and don't think this is a great thing for most individuals... Maybe there are a few out there who can manage this, but for most thyroid, sex-hormone, electrolyte and glucose issues develop over time with a ketogenic diet... Before you get your keto dogma panties in a bunch, watch the video - you might just learn a thing or two! And this is not to say that I don't see value in ketogenic diets for some individuals (epilepsy, parkinsons, other neuro-degenerative disorders), or to begin treating diabetes... But long-term eating in this way may have many negative consequences. Please repeat after me: carbohydrates do not cause diabetes, carbohydrates do not cause diabetes... Results over dogma. Reclaiming your birthright to radical health is what this is all about. Not getting stuck in a label of one sort or another. #theremembering

Sunlight leads to a healthy microbiome!    Sunlight gets such a bad rap these days, but it has SO many benefits that cannot be ignored...   You haven't been told the whole story of sunlight, but I do my best to take you down the rabbit hole with me in this video.    I talk about the benefits of sunlight beyond vitamin D (immune benefits and more- do we still remember that an immune system works for us?), dangers of mainstream sunscreens and what I recommend instead while you are developing a good base tan.    As we head into winter, getting sunlight or UVA/UVB from sunlamps is more important than ever especially with a seasonal virus (ahem!) floating around!   #theremembering

Patrick Albert Moore is a Canadian industry consultant, former activist, and past president of Greenpeace. Since leaving Greenpeace in 1986, Moore has criticized the environmental movement for what he sees as scare tactics and disinformation, saying that the environmental movement "abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism.” According to Greenpeace, Moore is "a paid spokesman for the nuclear industry, the logging industry, and genetic engineering industry” who "exploits long-gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson" Time stamps: 0:00:00 Opening thoughts 0:09:30 Podcast begins 0:10:45 The story of polar bears and how they tie into the global warming conversation 0:21:35 The first principle of science: skepticism  0:33:30 Climate and doomsday 0:42:30 Milankovitch cycles and climate change 0:54:30 Carbon dioxide isn't the issue 0:58:55 How growing plants in different levels of C02 affects their size 1:11:30 We are a tropical species 1:15:45 It's clear: temperature rises before the increase in carbon dioxide 1:28:15 The three ways heat moves from one place to another 1:32:30 C02 in the ocean   Sponsors: Heart & Soil: www.heartandsoil.co  White Oak Pastures: www.Whiteoakpastures.com, use code: CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order Belcampo: www.belcampo.com use code: CarnivoreMD for 20% off your order Blazing Bull: $150 off of a 1500 degree grill at BlazingBullGrills.com with code “CARNIVOREMD” at checkout BLUblox: https://blublox.cc/ CARNIVOREMD for 15% off
