Today, I am blessed to have here with me The Meat Mafia. The Meat Mafia officially began in January 2022 with one mission: to share their wealth of practical experiences in transforming their health through an active, animal-based lifestyle.

Animal-based living emphasizes the elimination of processed foods and the consumption of whole natural foods. As the name suggests, most of these foods come from animal sources, from beef to honey. In their belief, locally sourced animal-based foods optimize personal and planetary health.

In this episode, The Meat Mafia speak about their health issues and how eating a carnivore diet helped Brett reverse his ulcerative colitis and improved Harrison’s inflammatory skin problems. Then, the guys jump straight into stigmas around eating an animal-based diet and how the health of our environment actually depends on regenerative agriculture and ruminating animals. Tune in as we chat about finding the best sources for your animal-based diet and what you need to know about buying meat from the grocery store.

[01:45] How Brett Reversed His Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis With The Carnivore Diet

• Brett got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Colitis is an autoimmune disease that affects your large intestine, which is your colon.
• You can’t really process any food with ulcerative colitis.
• Doctors tell you that colitis is an incurable disease.
• After listening to Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Brett changed his life forever. Listen to the episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2auwtVto0sG7OcZ0hs3aOP?si=VF4iKaIcRvS_gar_nJrZ1g.
• Brett experimented with the carnivore diet, and he noticed all the bloating in his stomach was gone, his skin cleared up, and his energy improved.

[15:10] A Keto Lifestyle Can Reduce Symptoms of Inflammatory Skin Problems

• Harrison’s first interaction with the healthcare system was from skin problems.
• His cystic acne had everything to do with his terrible diet.
• Ultimately, Harrison got on Accutane.
• Harrison tried the paleo diet during his first year of college, and his athletic training and energy levels improved.
• After trying keto, Harrison lost ten pounds in a matter of weeks.

[29:10] The Health Grasslands and The Health of Ruminate Animals Are Interconnected

• There are still stigmas around red meat being a staple of healthy nutritional diets.
• Also, people don’t discuss animals’ role in restoring soil quality.
• Anti-meat people will gravitate toward the harmful practices of agriculture. However, there are ways to raise animals that improve the soil.
• The Meat Mafia likes to go to farms and learn stories about practicing regenerative agriculture.
• Check out Roam Ranch as an example: http://roamranch.com/

[34:20] Find A Local Farmer’s Market To Support The Best System Possible

• Here are some resources to check out about local food sources:
  • Wild Food Sources: https://www.wildfoods.co/

Shire: https://shireapp.io/

Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit: https://beefinitiative.com/

Find a farmer’s market in your area and ask if they utilize regenerative practices.

When you support local farmers, you’re supporting the right system, and you can nourish your family with the best quality protein possible.

[40:55] Health Is Not An Expense; Health Is An Investment

• If you can’t afford meat from a local farmer, you can still eat the meat at a grocery store.
• Always do what is best for you and your budget.
• Eating stuff in the grocery store’s outer aisle will make you healthier than 99% of the population.
• However, supporting local farms is healthier for the supply chain and you.
• When you nourish the body with the proper nutrients, it will be an investment in your health.

[43:05] What To Know About Shopping For Meat In The Grocery Store

• You need your beef to be pasture raised and 100% grass-fed.
• When you look at chicken and pork, they are fed corn and soy diets.
• If possible, steer towards a beef-based diet.
• Also, make sure your eggs are pasture-raised.
• Be careful about the marketing tricks that companies use. They could write “vegetarian fed.” In reality, that means they are being fed corn and soy.
