JT followed the textbook diet: lean meats, whole grains, no alcohol, not even a rogue goldfish cracker off the kids’ plate.

But after 90 days? Nothing. No weight loss. No better sleep. No energy boost. Just frustration.

So he tried something different, animal-based, then carnivore.

And suddenly, things changed!

Why are we still following the same nutrition rules… when they don’t work for everyone?

Jamie and Alex chat to Adrian Chavez PHD in nutrition. Adrian is our first guest that supports more of a mainstream view on the global health epidemic and its causes, he also does not share the same sentiment towards modern guidelines that we have previously encountered. We hear Adrians thoughts on the global health crisis and we touch on some of the ideas put forward by our previous guests. It seems however, this has far from cleared up any discrepancies more so just presented another way of thinking. It seems the boys have a lot more digging to do. Let us know your thoughts about our journey so far we would love to hear your take.
