They Spray What on Potatoes? Better Snacks, Better Ingredients | Dr. Shawn Baker & Steven Rofrano

Steven Rofrano grew up in New Jersey in an Italian-American family that instilled a deep respect for food quality and old-world traditions. Steven struggled with chronic health issues growing up, until he discovered that eliminating seed oils and processed foods made him feel truly healthy for the first time. Fueled by years of obsessive research, Steven became convinced that classic American foods can be both healthy and delicious—if made without toxic ingredients. Determined to prove this, he quit his big tech software job in 2022 to launch Ancient Crunch, starting with MASA Chips, the first nixtamalized tortilla chips cooked in grass-fed beef tallow. Next came Vandy Crisps, tallow-cooked potato chips that restore the 'Great American Snack' to its original seed oil-free glory. Today, Steven remains on a mission to rebuild America's pantry with real, nourishing ingredients—and, of course, to spread a little anti-seed oil "propaganda" along the way.

Surviving Anorexia, Sepsis, and Amputation | Dr. Shawn Baker & Mary Ann

In Mary Ann's 33 years of life, she has faced anorexia, a near-death infection, institutional abuse, and the trauma of amputation, but she has found purpose in nourishing her body and sharing her testimony. Mary Ann has been carnivore since 2018 and rededicated her life to Jesus in 2022 during a hospital stay, and those two decisions have strengthened her physical body and saved her soul. Mary Ann grew up in a household run by two doctors who didn't allow her to eat red meat, and followed every "heart healthy" dietary lie being perpetrated by the government in the early nineties. She became fixated around her weight and food intake as a way of regaining control in a chaotic household and developed an eating disorder that only going carnivore could cure. In 2022, bacteria from a hot tub entered an open cut in her leg and the resulting infection caused her to go septic. Mary Ann lost half of her left foot, two fingers, and nearly her life. The doctors performed skin graft surgery to save her legs, but after three years the grafts failed and she lost her right leg below the knee right after Meatstock 2025 due to osteomyelitis. Mary Ann just received her prosthetic two weeks ago and is walking and driving - healing at lightning speed thanks to God and the healing power of meat!
