Travis Statham is an original World Carnivore Tribe moderator and an independent researcher turned masters student who just moved to Logan, Utah with his wife and two cats to study and conduct nutrition research. His dream would be to test the carnivore diet in a clinical trial setting, and test independent variables like grass-fed:grain-fed, organs:no organs, fat:protein ratios, as well as Carnivore:Almost carnivore as well as testing the efficacy of various subtypes on different chronic diseases that still have no etiology. He worked with Dr Shawn Baker to provide feedback to the researchers that conducted the Harvard Carnivore Survey Study, which received results from 2029 adults living the carnivorous way of eating for an average of 14 months! Travis used his experience on Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter, to help him collect links to science across a swath of disciplines related to the broad topic of human facultative carnivory into a public Zotero library called KetoscienceDatabase - over 10,000 articles relating to paleoanthropology, evolution, primatology, etc. When a NYPost reporter joined WCT as the carnivore diet was picking up steam, Travis was able to schedule an interview with her and get a free Fogo de Chao meal, and the next day he and his wife appeared on Good Morning America! He also attended the 4-day special event that was CarnivoryCon 2019 and Low Carb Denver 2019, and even went to Low Carb Denver 2020 just before flights closed in the beginning of the pandemic. After working with Michael Goldstein on justmeat.co, he decided to use a Wix website to stuff as much content as he could about the carnivore diet into one place.  Nowadays, in Utah, Travis is helping Stephan van Vliet PhD with research in which they try to figure out the interplay between different agricultural systems as 500+ different metabolites can be recorded using advanced metabolomics machines by collecting and preparing samples such as soil, grass, animal feed and then seeing how they get transferred into various meat products such as grass-fed ribeyes, conventional grain-fed liver, wild caught deer. If you have a farm and want to contribute to this product - get in touch with Travis. The next step is looking into how eating these foods affect humans over the short and long term.  You can find him on: twitter.com/meatritioncom or twitter.com/Travis_Statham instagram.com/meatrition reddit.com/user/meatrition reddit.com/r/Keto4  Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 07:08 Historical use of meat to treat diseases 13:23 Russians and the Inuit 18:48 Life expectancy among the Inuit; ketosis among the Inuit 22:29 All-meat diet in history 24:13 Ethnography database 26:25 Facultative carnivore 30:00 Gut microbiome 33:40 Travis’ carnivore experience 43:37 Reintroducing foods after the carnivore diet 47:55 Running clinical trials on carnivore diet 50:12 Why historical experiments with carnivore diet didn’t last 53:40 Meatrition.com Join the Community: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪
