What began as an experiment to improve her health eventually led her to explore the science behind meat-based nutrition and its possible effects on metabolic and mental health. Amber explains how a carnivore diet influenced her own health, why many people question whether humans can survive without plants, and why the common assumption that carnivore dieters would develop scurvy may not actually be correct. We also discuss the role of vitamin C in the body, how Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) were originally determined, and what human evolution may reveal about the foods humans are adapted to eat. 🎥 Watch the referenced discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT7u2GlEfxs&t=1360s Topics covered in this episode • Amber’s experience with treatment-resistant depression • Discovering the carnivore diet • Why carnivore dieters don’t develop scurvy • Vitamin C and metabolic health • Salt and electrolyte debates in low-carbohydrate diets • Human evolution and meat consumption • The anthropology of early human diets This conversation explores the science, controversy, and personal experience behind one of the most debated dietary approaches today.

Raised mostly vegetarian and later committing fully to a vegan diet for spiritual reasons, our guest shares how his health slowly declined — from low energy and joint pain to feeling mentally ungrounded. Despite strong beliefs and cultural conditioning, his body began sending clear signals that something wasn’t right.

Improved clarity, strength, grounding, and a renewed understanding of what works for his body.

The first part is about Joseph’s journey of rediscovering his culture’s traditional plant medicines and some of their applications. Joseph is particularly focussed on working with those suffering from addiction so we get into that in some detail. The second part of the discussion is about a meat based diet and how Joseph has been able to use carnivorous diets to reverse disease in some of the populations he works with in Ontario.

Dr. Gary Fettke is a medical doctor in Australia who’s been practicing for 40 years. A few years ago Gary was facing a law suit for recommending that his diabetic patients not be given so much sugar. That led him down the rabbit hole of low carb and ancestrally appropriate diets but also it led him and his wife Belinda to research into the ideology of the food guidelines first in the USA and then in Australia and now around the world. Now if you’ve heard Dr. Fettke before I still want you to pay attention to this interview because we cover some ground that may be new for a lot of people. Particularly the question of how these guidelines and ways of eating are getting exported to developing countries around the world and why obesity rates in Pacific countries are the highest in the world. If you like this conversation please do make sure to leave us a review on whatever platform you’re listening.

In this conversation, Heddy Nam and I discuss the trauma that many immigrant families go through and her own journey to healing through an engagement with social justice organising.

Heddy Nam is Founder of Rosalee Consulting, a boutique consulting and coaching practice focused on supporting social change leaders and organizations to step fully into their power to realize their vision for an equitable world. As part of this practice, Heddy provides liberatory, healing-centered coaching and facilitates intersectional collaboration to foster innovation for equity. She also advises other facilitators designing gatherings and programs aimed at systems change with a focus on authentic communication, adult learning and maximizing participation and collaboration for lasting impact.

Heddy is a native of Seoul who grew up in NY, who lives and works on the unceded territory of the Tongva/Gabrieleño/Kizh peoples who are the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and Southern Channel Islands). She brings her lived experience as an Asian American immigrant woman, domestic violence survivor, activist and organizer and 20 years of professional experience in the non-profit sector in policy advocacy, philanthropy, research, and systems change to her work.

Her primary sources of wisdom come from her self care and development practices (including movement, meditation, reading, writing) and relationships (with ancestors, family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and healers).

The benefits of a low carb diet are very well understood. But for many of us who grew up in India or in South Asia more generally, the diet is built around carbs.

IS INDIA A VEGETARIAN COUNTRY?

The short answer is no. But vegetarians or those who are promoting a vegetarian diet have been in charge of India's nutrition policy since independence. Joining me to talk about these issues in more detail is Dr. Veena Shatrugna, the former Deputy Director at the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in India.

This is a binary response to a public health crisis that requires nuance. In this discussion, Mark Read and I discuss. Mark teaches Media Studies at NYU and at Southern Main Community College.
