🎙️ Newest Episode: Carnivore Diet w/ Dr. Shawn Baker [Ep. 57]
In this new episode of the Healthy & Awake Podcast, Dr. Shawn Baker, orthopedic surgeon, bestselling author of The Carnivore Diet, and a military veteran, joins me for an in-depth discussion on the carnivore diet. Together, we explore the science, myths, and controversies of a meat-based approach to health. Dr. Baker sheds light on the influence of propaganda on dietary beliefs and offers insights from his athletic and medical background, advocating for a simple, ancestral approach to health and performance.
To be clear, my approach is a skeptical one. I don’t claim to know the best diet for anyone, and as always, I want to present a fair and balanced perspective. That’s why I’m actively seeking out doctors and experts with plant-based or vegan perspectives to bring you information from both sides. You’ll get to hear their insights and decide what’s best for you.
