Happy New Year to all!  I’m not a drinker, but I know there are many who will be enjoying alcohol to celebrate the end of this crazy year, and the beginning of one we all hope will be a bit better than 2020. If you’re going to imbibe at New Years or any other time, what’s the least toxic sauce to consume? Find out in this Controversial Thoughts video along with why alcohol causes a hangover and what you can do to mitigate it prior and ameliorate it once it’s besieged you. Hint:  these answers may have to do with things I’ve discussed before like avoiding toxic seed oils to limit lipid peroxidation in your liver from alcohol byproducts, and making sure to get enough nutrients into your diet on a daily basis to optimize your glutathione and NAD/NADH statuses.  If you’re looking to lose weight, or kick more ass in 2021 you should join us at Heart & Soil for our 30 day animal based reset in January. Go to www.AnimalBased30.com to sign up and become part of the tribe that will be starting off the new year right! There will be lots of content, support, and a chance to win some of our desiccated organ supplements as well as signed copies of my book, The Carnivore Code. Welcome to #theremembering.

In short, yes (as long as you tolerate it)!   Milk, yogurt, butter, ghee and colostrum are amazing sources of nutrients that have been highly valued by many indigenous groups for millenia. Dairy has a long tradition in Northern Europe, and among hunter-gatherer groups like the Maasai, or historically among groups like the Mongols (think warriors whose diets were basically milk, meat, and organs).    Dairy isn’t for everyone, and some may have issues with lactose (a deficiency on the lactase enzyme), or the casein and whey proteins within it. Personally I can’t tolerate dairy, but I am incredibly jealous of all of you who can because it’s delicious and nutrient-rch.  In this controversial thoughts video I discuss evidence linking dairy with cancer (most observational studies suggest an inverse correlation, i.e. higher intakes are associated with better outcomes), most of which suggests dairy is totally safe. I also discuss colostrum (the immunoglobulin-rich first milk from mammals) in detail. This stuff is chocked FULL of unique peptides, immunoglobulins, and growth factors that aid in gut healing, wound healing, and immune fortification.    Colostrum has even been studied in comparison to flu vaccinations in small studies and found to be just as effective at preventing influenza. More research is needed here but the findings from at least two studies are intriguing.    If you have questions about dairy in your diet, this video is for you! #theremembering

I get the “doesn’t red meat cause cancer” question ALL. THE. TIME. What better way to address it yet again (there’s a whole chapter about in my book, The Carnivore Code), than with my man, Ivor (see multiple previous podcasts including a recent debunk of the COVID response- Fundamental Health).  In this extra nutrient dense edition of controversial thoughts we address the WHO (looking mighty sketch these days), TMAO, neu5gc, and much more about how we’ve been misled regarding meat and cancer. Watch/listen/learn and never again not have an answer for your clueless friend who thinks meat causes cancer.  Red meat and organs have been at the center of the human diet for millions of years. They are also the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet. Does it make even one iota of sense that they would cause harm to us? Nope. Welcome to #theremembering.  If you need more nose to tail nutrition in your life, check us out at heartandsoil.co. Our newest product, Heart of the Warrior just released today, and our grass-fed colostrum (the immunoglobulin rich first milk from mammals), Immunomilk, will be available next week!  

Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL, and received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006.    His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.   Time Stamps: 0:11:37    Podcast begins 0:12:37    Why is the mRNA vaccine ready so soon? 0:15:54    Biology is too complex for soundbites  0:20:48    Do we really know how safe the mRNA vaccine will be? 0:23:03    An mRNA Vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 — Preliminary Report    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2022483 0:25:41    Is it better to just catch the virus? 0:31:33    The concerns surrounding mandatory vaccines 0:34:49    The evaluation of immune responses to hepatitis B vaccination in diabetic and non‐diabetic haemodialysis patients and the use of tetanus toxoid    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1440-1797.2008.00936.x 0:35:00    Obesity is associated with impaired immune response to influenza vaccination in humans    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22024641/ 0:35:00    Vaccines won't help the people who need them the most 0:37:13    What the MSM won't tell you (the full narrative)  0:42:43    Is covid actually causing excess deaths 0:47:20    Build robust health, build resilience 0:55:46    We will all contract Covid 0:59:06    FluView Interactivehttps://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/flu_by_age_virus.html 1:04:03    Is Covid really as virulent as proposed? 1:10:31    Working Paper: Exceptionally Many Vulnerable – 'Dry Tinder' – in Sweden Prior to COVID-19https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?ab

Is it time to get scared of COVID, or is the media just back on the hysteria train?    Remember 6 months ago when everyone was trashing Sweden for their coronavirus response? Well guess what, they are looking pretty good right now despite having essentially no lockdowns or other measures in place. In this Controversial Thoughts video I discuss the concept of “dry tinder”, or the amount of any population that is most frail, elderly, and susceptible to illness and how this relates to the impact of COVID in different countries. I also share data regarding the continued importance of being metabolically healthy and having an optimal vitamin D status. As we head into winter how are your vitamin D levels looking, and how metabolically healthy are you?   If you’re interested in my thoughts on the vaccine, I discussed these in much more detail on last week’s controversial thoughts episode. Look for a podcast with @kirkparsley coming next Tuesday elaborating on all of these concepts.    Being metabolically healthy is central to long term quality of life and a robust immune system. #theremembering.
