Jenny Mitich started carnivore to lose 70 pounds after having twins. Her anxiety vanished, depression lifted, and undiagnosed Hashimoto's finally made sense. This conversation moves beyond weight loss into mental health transformation, blood work interpretation your doctor won't discuss, and raising carnivore kids who refuse birthday cake. She shares sardine fasting protocols, functional medicine ranges, and why she's "a lighthouse, not a tugboat." Her new book Complete Carnivore combines 80 recipes with troubleshooting for common challenges. Find her educational content on YouTube at Jenny Mitich.

Doug Reynolds thought he was bulletproof until his running career collapsed under mysterious weight gain and joint pain. Three weeks studying ketones changed everything—launching Low Carb USA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. What emerged wasn't just conferences but sanctuary for practitioners facing hostility from colleagues who resist dietary intervention. Reynolds breaks conventional barriers: speakers scatter among attendees, forging relationships that span the country. After a three-year battle, the Society now offers ACCME-accredited continuing education credits, legitimizing metabolic medicine. January 23-25, 2026 conference at lowcarbusa.org. Code IFIXHEARTS saves 20%.

BIG IDEA

The loneliness of practitioners who face hostility for recommending dietary interventions has created an urgent need for community—and Low Carb USA became that refuge by accident, simply by bringing people together in the same room.

Your body will only tolerate what is genetically self—everything else, from organ transplants to breast implants, triggers an immune response that can manifest as chronic inflammation rather than obvious infection, and this response is influenced by your unique genetic detoxification capacity.

Eleven years after thyroid cancer, Patrick Sullivan realized he was still furious that no one could explain what happened to his body, so he made a documentary exposing how America's food system went rotten and how everyday people are reviving it.

Former interventional cardiologist Dr. William Davis left traditional cardiology after his mother died months after a successful angioplasty. What he discovered challenges everything mainstream medicine teaches about heart disease.

Standard cholesterol testing is outdated. The real drivers of cardiovascular disease are small LDL particles created by wheat, grains, and sugars, amplified by gut microbiome disruption. Coronary calcium scores predict heart attacks far better than cholesterol levels, yet conventional treatments like statins show zero impact on plaque progression.

Dr. Davis reveals how antibiotic overuse has left half the US population with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, driving not just digestive issues but heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and neurological decline. Eliminating wheat and grains while restoring beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus reuteri can make dangerous particles disappear.

He also exposes the dangers of conventional weight loss: calorie restriction causes 25% muscle loss, permanently slowing metabolism and leading to early death despite temporary improvements. His new book Superbody offers an alternative focused on muscle preservation and microbiome restoration.

This conversation fundamentally reframes how diet, gut health, and heart disease connect.

Scott Everson didn't start the largest carnivore conference in the world just to talk about steak. After years battling chronic pelvic pain syndrome, benzodiazepine dependency, and mast cell activation syndrome, he found something more powerful than any protocol: people.

In this conversation, Scott shares how social isolation preceded his illness, how carnivore helped him survive when he could only tolerate lion diet basics, and why he believes loneliness increases heart disease risk by 29% – comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily. He challenges common assumptions in the health space, from the heavy metals hiding in popular carnivore salts to why some people's cholesterol skyrockets on animal-based diets while others thrive.

This isn't another "carnivore cures everything" story. Scott openly discusses the limits of dietary intervention, the individualized nature of metabolic response, and his conviction that true healing requires more than what's on your plate. It demands connection, purpose, and belonging.

Dr. Philip Ovadia joins the discussion to explore why doctors rarely prescribe community, what happens when you're 99% carnivore versus 100%, and whether long-term carnivore is optimal or if we should consider reintroducing certain foods. They tackle lipotoxicity, microbiome misconceptions, and the danger of dogmatic thinking in any health movement.

Whether you're carnivore-curious, chronically ill, or just tired of feeling alone in your health journey, this conversation cuts through the noise to address what we're really hungry for.

BIG IDEA

Social isolation is the root cause of a lot of people's problems – it causes stress, inflammation, gut issues, and a cascade of health problems that no diet alone can fix.

Your gut contains more bacterial cells than human cells in your entire body. This living ecosystem either works for you or against you, and most people are unknowingly destroying it with every meal. Dr. Jay Wrigley, hormone specialist, breaks down the intricate web connecting gut microbiome health, hormonal responses, and metabolic dysfunction in ways that finally make sense.

This conversation cuts through the symptom-chasing approach of conventional medicine to examine root causes. Why does adding iodine sometimes wreck thyroid function instead of helping it? What does sea salt actually contain, and why might vacation at the beach genuinely improve thyroid symptoms? How does the body's stress response literally prevent fat cells from releasing their contents, no matter how perfectly you eat?

Dr. Wrigley explains hormone sensitive lipase, the enzyme-hormone that acts as gatekeeper for fat burning, and why most people have never heard of it despite its central role in weight management. He traces the cascade from dietary choices through insulin and cortisol to inflammation and arterial damage, showing how the body's hormonal response to what you eat matters more than the food itself.

The discussion covers thyroid conversion problems that standard TSH testing misses entirely, the relationship between progesterone, estrogen and cellular thyroid function, and why the carnivore diet might indicate deeper gut issues rather than being a long-term solution. Learn which simple dietary modifications address iodine status without expensive testing, and how stress management connects directly to your body's willingness to release stored fat.

This is functional medicine thinking applied to everyday metabolic problems, explained through the lens of a practitioner who treats hormones as the body's first responders to everything you do, eat, think, and experience.

BIG IDEA

Your health is much more related to the hormonal response by the choice that you just made than what you ate at all.

Dr. Ahmad Ammous completed medical school expecting to heal people. Instead, he found a system designed to keep patients dependent on expensive drugs and procedures. In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, he traces the roots of our broken healthcare system back to 1910's Flexner Report and the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913—showing how centralized financial power shaped modern medicine into a profit-driven enterprise rather than a healing practice.

A first-year medical student when he switched to a meat-focused diet, Ammous experienced immediate relief from depression and anxiety that standard care never addressed. This personal transformation led him to question everything: why do patients with rheumatoid arthritis see only 20-30% improvement after 15 years of "standard treatment"? Why are hospitals increasingly chaotic disaster zones? Why can't physicians practice independently anymore?

The answers lie in understanding how artificial scarcity in medical education, massive student debt, and inflationary monetary policy have consolidated healthcare into massive institutions dependent on government funding and pharmaceutical company influence. Ammous argues that physicians must become entrepreneurs again, building decentralized practices outside the failing system—and that Bitcoin represents the financial foundation needed to break free from centralized control.

He also introduces quantum biology and the role of melanin in cellular energy production, explaining why modern indoor living under artificial light may be contributing to chronic disease. The path forward combines ancestral healing wisdom with modern scientific understanding, practiced in ways that actually serve patients rather than institutional profits.

This conversation offers both critique and hope—a roadmap for physicians ready to exit a collapsing system and patients seeking genuine healing rather than symptom management.

BIG IDEA

"I understood how the medical system doesn't really benefit from getting people healthy—it benefits from keeping them sick and dependent on the system, selling them expensive drugs and surgeries."
