    36: The Carnivore Diet Isn’t for Everyone. Here’s Why | Dr. Andre Williams, MD

    Ready for a different conversation about your cancer care? Apply to be on The Gonzalez Protocol® and meet a doctor who listens first.A man in his 40s ate carnivore for eight months and watched his cholesterol climb past 1,000 while deposits broke through the skin of his hands and feet.Welcome back to Dr. Andre Williams, MD, a board-certified oncologist and certified Gonzalez Protocol® doctor, because he lives in both worlds and sees what happens when people copy a diet off TikTok instead of matching it to their biology.Here's the part the internet leaves out. For more than 40 years, from Dr. Kelley to my late husband Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, we've recommended carnivore-leaning diets on purpose, for the right people. The all-meat, no-vegetable, no-labs version you see online is not even close to what we teach.A published case shows kidney stones worsening after a YouTube-inspired switch to meat. Published carnivore studies found people falling short on vitamins C and D, magnesium, calcium, and iodine, and getting less than one gram of fiber a day.So who actually belongs on a carnivore-leaning diet, and who will slowly wreck their health trying it? If you've been guessing, this episode is the pause before the mistake.You’ll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[8:03] Telling real guidance apart from a carnivore sales pitch[12:34] JAMA Cardiology case of cholesterol over 1,000 breaking through the skin[15:45] Vitamin and fiber gaps the internet version never mentions[21:05] Why our carnivore diet is never purely carnivore[26:52] Why red meat matters for a parasympathetic dominant person[31:16] What happens when a sympathetic dominant person goes all in on meat[32:45] Weston A. Price’s findings and a vegetarian patient who needed animal protein[40:26] Moderate carnivore versus balanced carnivore explained[45:15] Source of the meat matters as much as the amount[51:42] Red flags that the carnivore diet is wearing you downResources Mentioned:Nutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System by Dr. Nicholas J.

    35: Why Doctors Are Treating Autoimmune Disease Wrong | Dr. Marina Yanover, ND, L.Ac.
    Oct 20 2026
    Apply to work with a Certified Gonzalez Doctor here.Nearly 50 million Americans have been told their immune system is the villain, but Dr. Marina Yanover argues it's the victim. One shift changes everything about how autoimmune disease gets treated.Dr. Marina Yanover is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist, one of the few doctors officially certified in The Gonzalez Protocol®, and the only person in the world who was both a patient of my late husband Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and now carries on his work.Conventional medicine calls autoimmune disease idiopathic, which is a longer way of saying nobody really knows. The standard answer is to suppress the immune system, often for life.Marina sees it differently. Her question isn't how do we shut this system down. It's why did it break, and how do we rebuild it? She shares what she witnessed inside Dr. Gonzalez’s office as a young intern, what she learned sitting across from his patients, and what happened when she became a patient herself after a melanoma diagnosis.From leaky gut and candida misdiagnosed as MS to Lyme bacteria found in 20-million-year-old amber, this episode covers why 75% of autoimmune patients are women and the piano analogy that reframes the whole conversation.If you've been told your body turned on you, this episode offers a different story. Your body is not your enemy.You’ll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[3:15] Interning in Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez’s office after graduating Bastyr[6:55] Melanoma became the wake-up call that brought her back[13:42] The aura and belief that set The Gonzalez Protocol® patients apart[23:55] The common thread running under every autoimmune condition[28:39] Chronic inflammation as symptom rather than cause[34:05] A clean body means clean organs, not soap and water[42:25] Lyme found in ancient amber and the 5,000-year-old Iceman[51:42] Why all three protocol components must be done together[54:51] Metabolic type and why magnesium can backfire[1:03:59] First steps for anyone who suspects chronic illness[1:09:00] Three takeaways and a warning on stopping medication abruptlyFollow Your Way Back wherever you're watching or listening: on YouTube, on Spotify, or on Apple Podcasts, so every new episode comes straight to you.

    34: This Cancer Patient Stopped Chemo & Went Into Remission (Here's How)
    Oct 13 2026
    Apply to work with a Certified Gonzalez Doctor here.Jafra credits The Gonzalez Protocol® with maintaining her remission after chemo damaged her heart and liver.My guest today is a current patient on The Gonzalez Protocol®, diagnosed with lymphatic leukemia in January 2024, who agreed to speak honestly about what her life actually looks like now.For years, people have asked me the same question in a careful, hopeful voice: does this protocol actually work for real people living real lives? Season one answered that with science, history, and long-term survivor stories. This episode hands the question to someone living it right now.Jafra doesn't sugarcoat the hard parts. The 3:30 AM supplement alarm. The enemas twice a day. The muscle wasting from five months in bed during chemo treatment. The brain fog and the dizziness that followed chemo. The strange experience of sitting in a hospital where her doctors have no curiosity about how she's maintaining remission without them.She also talks about her mother feeding her every day in the hospital, her brother and sister stepping in with her daughter, and the moment she decided she wasn't willing to let chemo keep damaging organs she couldn't replace, despite being made to feel she had no choice.If you or someone you love is sitting with a new diagnosis, her honesty is worth your time.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[1:36] Lymphatic leukemia diagnosis and starting The Gonzalez Protocol®[2:10] Recovering from post-chemo brain fog and feeling better than ever[3:42] Eating carnivore and rebuilding muscle lost to five months in bed[6:05] Reaching remission while her hospital doctors show no curiosity[8:46] Inside Jafra's daily routine, from twice-daily enemas to a 3:30 AM alarm[12:16] Jafra's mother who urged her to think outside the box[15:10] Deepening faith and realizing her stressful career contributed to her leukemia[18:16] What she would tell someone just handed the same diagnosisResources Mentioned:Collection of Books by Our Patients | BooksNutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System by Dr. Nicholas J.
