    What’s Really Killing Bodybuilders? | A Serious Conversation S3E43

    Mark and I sat down to discuss something that’s been weighing on us both: the string of influencer deaths tied to bodybuilding culture in recent years, and the calories in calories out mindset that ignores the origin of those calories. In this conversation, Mark draws on his own experiences in bodybuilding, and his decades as a physical trainer, to break down what happens when steroids and performance enhancing drugs get combined with a diet loaded in carbs. It’s a combination that masks damage for years until it doesn’t, and the people paying the price aren’t just the athlete influencers, it’s the followers who trust their advice without knowing what’s really going on under the hood. We get into why “eat whatever fits your macros” is dangerous advice when someone’s metabolic health is already being pushed to the edge by PEDs, what Mark has personally witnessed in the gym, and behind the scenes of the fitness industry, and why nutritional quality can’t be an afterthought when you’re influencing thousands of people’s health decisions. This one’s a hard conversation, but it needed to happen. Below is a citation of a multiyear study about premature deaths of bodybuilders that have raised questions about the safety and associated risks of the discipline. The main objective of this study was to analyse mortality risk in a large international population of bodybuilders.

    She Quit Carnivore, Went Keto…and Her Blood Sugar Spiraled, Even on Insulin S3E42

    Krista visited us a year ago to tell how she defeated symptoms of PCOS, T2 diabetes and Hashimoto’s on the Carnivore diet. She’s returned to the show with a warning for anyone with Type 2 diabetes thinking about going back to Keto. It didn’t go the way she expected. Her numbers got worse, not better, and she had no idea why, even on two types of insulin. That’s when health coach Mark Ennis stepped in to help her. Two weeks later, everything changed. In this episode, Krista breaks down what went wrong with her Keto restart, the mistakes she didn’t know she was making, and what Mark had her do differently. If you’ve got T2 diabetes and you’re confused about why low carb isn’t working the way you expect it to, this one’s for you. Don’t guess your way through metabolic health. Watch what actually moved the needle for Krista in just two weeks.

    Man’s Best Friend is a Carnivore | For the Love of Dogs S3E41

    After a lifetime of IBS and chronic acid reflux, Brett Lee Edyvane healed his own gut on Carnivore, with reflux gone in just 5 days. Then he applied the same logic to his dog’s diet, and watched the successful results speak for themselves. Since then, as an advocate for the Carnivore diet for dogs, he’s helped hundreds of dogs ditch the kibble for meat, on a diet nature actually designed them to eat. In this episode, Brett breaks down what works (and what doesn’t) to keep your Best Friend thriving on the Carnivore diet. If you’ve ever wondered whether species-appropriate nutrition applies to our pets too, this one’s for you. The titer or titre test Brett mentions is a blood test that measures the concentration of circulating antibodies for specific diseases in cats and dogs. In dogs, it is commonly used as an alternative to routine revaccination, verifying whether your dog still has protective immunity against viruses like distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus.

    The Original Sugar-Free Man | 37 years - No Sugar S3E39

    We are thrilled to introduce you to a man who’s been sugar-free for 37 years! Before it was a trend, before anyone was talking about it, Mike Collins was living it. Known as The Original Sugar Free Man, Mike’s journey started in an unexpected place. After entering alcohol addiction in his teens, finally getting sober at 28, he picked up a copy of Sugar Blues by William Dufty, and everything changed. Four years later, sugar was gone for good. He even raised two kids sugar-free. Since then, Mike has built some of the most trusted coaching resources in the sugar-free world. He’s the founder of SugarAddiction.com, host of the Quick Sugar Summit and the Type 2 Diabetes Summit, the Sugar Detox website, and is author of ‘The Last Resort Sugar Detox Guide’ and ‘The 30-Day Sugar Detox Challenge’. For the past 11 years, he’s helped tens of thousands of people break free from the grip of sugar through his 30-Day Sugar Detox Challenge, and well beyond. In this episode, Mike gets into details most people never hear about, like how fructose is the largely unrecognized true driver of sugar damage, and how the fruit and vegetables we think are healthful have been hybridized specifically to maximize their fructose content. He also tackles one of the most overlooked problems in sugar recovery: recidivism. Why do people keep falling back into sugar use? Could it be because the world still doesn’t recognize sugar as the psychoactive drug it truly is? There is no quick fix. Real recovery means rebuilding neural pathways, and that result takes intention, effort, and the right experienced guidance. Mike Collins is one of the most credible and experienced voices in the anti-sugar movement. Let him show you what lasting freedom actually looks like. Find his links below.

    Carnivore Courage is Contagious S3E38

    What does it take to walk away from everything you’ve been told about food and bet your health on something completely different? For Robyn Herron, aka CarnivorousGrama, it took courage, and the results were nothing short of remarkable. In just 31 days on the Carnivore diet, Robyn eliminated the eczema that had tormented her skin, silenced the daily anxiety that had become her normal, ended her seasonal allergies, and finally got relief from the IBS that had controlled her life for years. No shots or diet drugs. No complicated protocols. Just meat and eggs. But Robyn didn’t stop at healing herself. She became a certified metabolic health coach, and made it her mission to bring Carnivore to the people who need it most and hear about it least - adults over 40 and the Black community - two groups that are wildly underrepresented in the Carnivore space, and have the most to gain from it. In this spirited conversation we dig into her transition story, the Carnivore principles she teaches her clients, and why courage isn’t just a nice word to her, it’s the foundation of every transformation she’s ever witnessed, including her own. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about Carnivore, or you’ve felt like this way of eating wasn’t made for someone like you, this episode will change your mind. Courage is contagious. Hit PLAY.

    This Doctor Healed Herself Through Diet S3E37

    “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream, and find out why they’re falling in.” - Nelson Mandela Hello Beautiful Human! Dr. Jocelyn Foran’s story is different. She’s not just a physician, she’s a longtime patient, too. As a child, she watched and helped her mother battle rheumatoid arthritis. That’s what pushed Jocelyn toward medicine in the first place. As an adult, she developed ulcerative colitis herself. Doctors told her diet had nothing to do with it, aside from one ingredient in processed dairy (carrageenan). Meanwhile, she had a career as an anesthesiologist and was raising three children, all while unintentionally losing weight, losing sleep, struggling to control her bowels, and watching her medication grow less effective by the day. Then a colleague mentioned the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, developed to help with celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. She tried it. Within days, everything changed for the better. She moved on to Paleo, then Keto, and finally Carnivore. Her gastroenterologist was supportive, but still promoted drugs. Jocelyn wishes the medical system understood diet as a foundational treatment, not an afterthought. She mentions how Abraham Flexner’s 1910 report, reshaped medical school curriculums across North America, and locked in the “pills only” approach we still see today. Dr. Foran tells us why glucose is so toxic to the body, and how Carnivore works by keeping carbs and insulin as low as possible. As her own health improved, she was able to taper off the now-failing medications she’d relied on for years. Her larger point? Modern medicine is incredible at acute care. Broken bone, get it fixed. But chronic illness is a different story. They treat symptoms, not root causes. That’s exactly why she brings up Mandela’s “going upstream” quote. Today, Dr. Foran has a metabolic coaching practice through her website Upstream Metabolic Medical (link below), and shares videos on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok about how very low carb and Carnivore diets can transform chronic illness. Dr Foran is heading upstream, and she wants to bring all of us with her. I’m on board. Are you? CONNECT WITH DR.

    We sat down with the esteemed Dr. Anthony Chaffee for one of the most wide-ranging conversations we’ve had on the channel. Dr Chaffee shared his own Carnivore origin story, which goes back further than most, then we dug into some science and real-world applications across several topics of interest to our community: Carnivore athletic performance (including Dr Chaffee’s own experiences), thyroid health, carbohydrates, insulin, fitness training, and the exploding GLP-1 conversation. If you’ve been waiting for an episode that covers the clinical side without losing the human side, this is it.
