Making People Healthy Again | Dr. Shawn Baker & Elie Jarrouge

Elie Jarrouge is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and nephrology. He was a hospitalist in Houston, TX from 2013 until early 2022. As a hospitalist, his job was to take care of acutely ill patients admitted to the hospital for a myriad of medical conditions. In his early 30s, he wrestled with a host of health issues including chronic back pain, high blood pressure, prediabetes and was 35 lbs overweight. After being frustrated with conventional approaches, he took a radical departure from mainstream medicine and used lifestyle to completely reclaim his health. After his personal experience and realizing that most patients who end up in the hospital are often metabolically sick, he shifted his professional interests to focus on nutrition as his main tool to combat chronic metabolic diseases, primarily obesity and type 2 diabetes. He currently coaches patients how to change their lifestyle and helps them reverse their chronic diseases and come off medications.   Elie is also Revero's first physician. www.MetabolicHealthMD.com Twitter @ElieJarrougeMD Instagram @Elie_Jarrouge Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer. 01:03 Introduction. 05:29 Standard healthcare. 08:10 Nutrition-focused chronic disease care. 09:58 Motivation to change. 13:54 Low-carb diet dramatically improves health and weight. 17:02 Clinical protocols for medication management. 20:49 Reducing drug costs saves significant money overall. 23:32 Nuanced LDL management. 24:44 Improving metabolic health over LDL. 29:36 Cutting healthcare costs. 32:49 Treating metabolic and autoimmune diseases at Revero. 33:34 Lifestyle change management support. 39:00 Support from family and physicians improves outcomes. 40:23 No desire to return to previous career. 44:37 Taking responsibility for health.

Overcoming Anxiety and PTSD with Steaks | Dr. Shawn Baker & Chad (Combat Carnivore)

Chad is a father of 4, veteran, an athlete, and martial artist in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community and he has gone carnivore in the last year. It has saved his life. He has a ten year long story of mental and physical agony which has been resolved through carnivore. Every ailment one can possibly think of. Panic Disorder, phobias, PTSD, flu like symptoms almost every time he ate, doctors throwing him on ridiculous medications, weight gain and loss left and right, random bouts of what he can only describe as schizophrenia, extreme joint pain, and so much more. He couldn't even drive himself for a while or be alone in certain places because his frequent panic attacks were so severe. He felt like he was basically crippled and he was so embarrassed of who he was. Nonstop brain fog and exhaustion. He used to beg and pray for just 1 hour of mental clarity. One hour to feel normal. He wanted to die for so long. He knows many other veterans experience this too and they feel so trapped. Now he is competing at a high level as a Black Belt and owner of an Academy. His Instagram has almost 14k followers and he has started a new YouTube channel that he intends to grow rapidly (he used to have a large channel that he took down when he worked for the government). He would like to use his influence and this new channel to try and get as many people from the Jiu Jitsu community and the military/veteran community on the carnivore diet. He believes it will save lives. He lives in a huge military city, and he has a big voice in the Jiu Jitsu community. He believes these communities need this message. Especially veterans who are suffering and he can be that transition voice to reach them.

He Dissects His First Cadaver, Becomes A Foodie | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Jonathan Reisman

Jonathan is an ER doctor based in Philadelphia, trained in both internal medicine and pediatrics. His journey as a foodie began during medical school while dissecting cadavers, which sparked his fascination with learning how muscles correspond to various cuts of beef. He now runs the dinner series Anatomy Eats (@anatomyeats on all social media platforms), where he collaborates with chefs around the country to serve offal dishes. During these events, he discusses the anatomy and physiology of the parts being eaten, sometimes even dissecting organs as people dine. In his first book, "The Unseen Body," Jonathan addresses the 1971 US law banning the sale of animal lungs as human food. In 2023, he submitted an official petition to the USDA arguing for the overturn of this law, and he is currently awaiting their response. Jonathan is writing a new book based on Anatomy Eats, which will explore the intersection of anatomy and cuisine worldwide. The book aims to debunk many misconceptions about food that can be easily disproved with basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Some topics he plans to cover include whether eating testicles increases testosterone or masculinity, the real reason some cuts of meat are tougher than others, how foie gras relates to fatty liver disease, and the safety of consuming animal colons (which he confirmed through a visit to the Chitlin Fest in Salley, SC). Rather than focusing on the nutritional benefits of eating these body parts, Jonathan emphasizes the fascination of understanding that human bodies are composed of the same parts and tissues consumed from animals. He believes that comprehending this overlap enhances the intrigue of eating offal. While he considers every part of an animal healthy (unless it's actually toxic, like a polar bear's liver), his primary interest lies in exploring the anatomical and physiological aspects of these foods. Instagram: @anatomyeats @jonreismanMD Twitter: @anatomyeats @jonreismanMD YouTube: @anatomyeats  @jonreismanMD   Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer. 00:50 Introduction. 06:54 Anatomy eats dinners, dissecting hearts during meals. 09:42 Eating any part of the body can be healthy. 12:03 Icelandic cuisine: dried fish, whale blubber, ram testicles. 14:34 USDA made lungs illegal due to safety concerns. 17:15 Cultural food beliefs and palate adaptability. 21:08 Examined whale heart, fermented walrus dishes fascinating. 26:14 Reevaluation of fat in Western medicine and nutrition. 27:12 Inupiat elders recommended traditional fat-rich diet. 32:54 Traditional vs. modern diet and physical activity. 33:42 Nanook of the North film, hunting seal. 36:39 Fascination with Asian cuisine and exotic ingredients. 42:48 Animal blood can be used in cuisine. 44:57 Modern raw milk is less dangerous. 49:13 Culinary road trips through Mexico and China. 50:25 Where to find Jonathan.
