  • Carnivore Drama, Is Beyond Meat Over? PLUS Nutrition Extremes S03E17

    Carnivore Drama, Is Beyond Meat Over? PLUS Nutrition Extremes S03E17
    Jan 3 2026
    Nutrition advice has never been louder or more polarized. From carnivore-only diets to sugar-only extremes, confident claims often race ahead of the science. In this episode, we explore three stories shaping today’s nutrition debate. First, we unpack insights from a Mayo Clinic–trained physician, clinical nutrition expert, and stage 4 cancer survivor, who explains why food is medicine and why plant-forward eating and moderation continue to outperform nutrition fads. We then look at the business and media landscape around plant-based food, including the collapse of Beyond Meat’s share price, comments from CEO Ethan Brown, and claims from an industry insider paid to spread anti-vegan messaging online. We also examine the science comparing meat and plant-based alternatives, including the Stanford “Swap Meat” study. Finally, we examine the rise of the carnivore diet online, driven by influencer anecdotes, and why medical experts are pushing back as concerns grow about long-term health risks and misinformation.

    BEST Vegan Films, The Protein Debate & Are Carnivore Influencers OVER? S03E16
    Dec 5 2025
    In this episode, we bring together three powerful conversations. We look at the rise and cracks in the carnivore influencer movement, including recent controversies around Steak & Butter Gal. We then unpack The Great Protein Debate between Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Matthew Nagra, breaking down what the latest research actually says about plant vs. animal protein, muscle, and health outcomes. Finally, we reflect on the vegan and plant-based documentaries that have shaped millions of people’s thinking over the last decade – from Cowspiracy and What the Health to The Game Changers, Seaspiracy, The Twin Experiment, and beyond – and how storytelling can change behavior in a way facts alone often can’t.
