In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Griffiths—British carnivore, bodybuilder, nutritionist, and founder of Carnivore Muscle—to explore his powerful journey of transforming health, physique, and mindset through science-backed carnivore strategies while navigating autism and chronic pain.

Diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and living with autism, Jonathan turned his challenges into strengths, using a meat-based diet and disciplined training to rebuild his body and help others do the same. With a degree in human nutrition and 16+ years of lifting experience, he combines hard science with real-world results.
