  1. Edge Of The Transgender Matrix

    JAN 16

    Edge Of The Transgender Matrix

    I sit down for a deep dive into what’s behind the transgender movement with my great friends Steve and Sue James. Steve’s YouTube channel, Edge of the Matrix is addictive viewing in which he goes out with a sandwich board with various messages such as “There is no such thing as a transgender child.” He is often misinterpreted as spreading hate speech, which he isn’t at all, and yet he deals with it all so very calmly. It’s lucky he’s got some impressive muscles and is an expert in jiu jitsu… Enjoy…  Steve’s bio…  Steve is a former Royal Navy Commando (148 Commando Battery RA) and firefighter who has turned his focus to one of the most pressing current issues: the spread of gender ideology and its harmful impact on women, children, and society as a whole, exposing its war on the truth, reality and freedom of speech. He has launched a nationwide and now global campaign to confront this ideology in the public square, mostly standing alone with his boards in the face of hostility. His activism has taken him to cities across the UK & USA where he has debated passers-by, challenged so-called liberal feminists who prioritise men in women’s spaces, and faced direct attacks, intimidation, and even physical assaults from those who seek to silence him. Despite this, Steve continues to speak out, documenting the experiences on his YouTube channel - Edge of the Matrix. He’s also on X and TikTok under the same channel name. This is a public episode.

Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2012, Lee fully believed in eating a plant based diet to treat his condition, but resulted in losing his entire colon aged 28, ostensibly due to the over consumption of fibre. Forced to live with a permanent ostomy bag in place of his colon, he found every day life hard to accept. During his worst episode of depression, he stumbled across a powerful anecdote that would inspire him to take a giant leap of faith. Lee would commit to a 30-day carnivore diet challenge in 2022, and in just three weeks, his depression lifted. Lee felt compelled to create a YouTube channel in order to spread the word about what he believes is our species' appropriate diet. Phil Escott’s Substack is a reader-supported publication.

  4. Meat, Matrix and Microdosing…

    10/21/2025

    Meat, Matrix and Microdosing…

    I have a long history with psilocybin mushrooms. Well… a repeated heroic dose trip overload back in 1979 with 42 years off recovering and recommending nobody ever risks hallucinogens. However, the last couple of years has had me surprised at wanting to reconnect with them in a more respectful and orderly fashion… with great results! Why was this, and why are so many others taking to micro (and macro) dosing? Is the collective consciousness waking up too slowly? Do we need a little push to reconnect with our true nature and see through the chaos and deceptions of this crazy time we live in? Are the mushrooms sentient allies that know our needs and are calling to us? Who better to chat with about it than the wonderful Adam Schell, CEO of Brainsupreme? He has a fascinating story and is incredibly knowledgeable on pretty much every subject I can think of. He’s eloquent and funny too, and we had a great discussion. I doubt if this is the last time I will get him on the podcast, as we could dive even deeper than we did, but for now… enjoy! Adam’s bio… Flat-earthing, Urine-drinking, Mushroom-taking, Former Big Ten linebacker, published author (Tomato Rhapsody), International Cannabis “Outlaw” and yoga teacher turned microdose Coach, Adam has a great story to tell. Founder of the nation’s leading microdose supplement, BRAINSUPREME, Adam has had over 3000 conversations with microdose clients. Adam is a leader in the coaching space and can shed a light on many of the misconceptions surrounding the mushroom space and what it means to microdose intentionally.

  5. Why all dairy hurts.

    10/01/2025

    Why all dairy hurts.

    This is a reupload of a great interview I did with my good friend Dr. Zsófia Clemens. The work she and her colleagues do at Paleomedicina in Hungary is astonishing. They have results like nobody else with the reversal of all types of chronic diseases with their Palaeolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD), a very high fat version of carnivore. Some of her opinions on dairy might trigger a few people, but in my experience, she is absolutely correct. Enjoy…  Dr. Zsófia Clemens Bio: I am a neurobiologist and clinical researcher specialized in nutrition, nutritional therapy and brain research. Previously I have been affiliated with the National Institute of Clinical Neuroscience, Budapest and the Neurological Department, University of Pécs, Hungary and have been involved in research related to epilepsy and sleep, elecroencephalograpy, vitamin D and brain MRI. Since 2013 I am the CEO of ICMNI – Paleomedicina. We have developed the paleolithic ketogenic diet (PKD) and have been using it in our clinical practice during the last 10 years in the treatment of diabetes, autoimmune diseases and cancer. It is clear that the method we developed is of superior effectivity as compared to standard medicinal therapies. Our patients are not just “treated” but literally cured if the principles of the method are properly applied. Our team is also involved in publishing medical cases and research data in academic journals. We distance ourselves from non-scientific approaches and naturopathy. Our approach conforms major criteria of science: replicability, cognizability and biological plausibility.

  6. Why blood tests can be useless, especially on carnivore.

    07/28/2025

    Why blood tests can be useless, especially on carnivore.

    Here's how to book for our UK Ancestral Health Festival… https://ancestralhealthfestival.com Here's my previous chat with Stephen… About Stephen Thomas BSc (Hons) Hi, I’m Stephen, also known as “The UK Carnivore.” I’ve been following a carnivore diet for 6 years, starting on my 55th birthday, after transitioning from a low-carb and ketogenic lifestyle. My health journey before discovering low-carb was marked by challenges: prediabetes, chronic pain, a high CAC score of 639, lower left quadrant pain, skin issues, and worsening hearing. Since embracing the carnivore lifestyle, I’ve experienced remarkable improvements in my health, including: •⁠ ⁠Reversal of prediabetes. •⁠ ⁠Elimination of pain, including lower back pain and digestive issues. •⁠ ⁠Significant improvements in hearing and eyesight. •⁠ ⁠Completely resolved skin conditions, such as athlete’s foot (after 30 years) and forehead rashes. •⁠ ⁠Increased testosterone levels by over 50% in just two months on carnivore. •⁠ ⁠Enhanced fitness and mental clarity. At almost 60 years old, I’m still playing soccer and feeling better than I did decades ago. --- Professional Background I hold a BSc (Hons.) in Physiology and Health Sciences and have achieved Specialist Practitioner status in Obesity and Diabetes management (UK qualified). I’m also a certified phlebotomist, which allows me to analyze bloodwork extensively and provide personalized insights backed by data. I trained as a Certified Coach under Dr. Shawn Baker and have accumulated over 1,000 client reviews across platforms like MeatRx (now Revero) and the Steak and Butter Gang. My clients consistently experience life-changing transformations in health, body composition, and well-being. I’m passionate about demystifying health, sharing science-based insights, and helping others regain and optimize their health through low-carb, ketogenic, and carnivore diets. --- Personal Achievements •⁠ ⁠Semi-professional footballer in my youth, still active at 61. •⁠ ⁠Competed in running events, including 5Ks, 10Ks, and half-marathons. •⁠ ⁠Successfully coached an Olympic athlete and helped a client become a top 25% marathon runner worldwide. •⁠ ⁠Stand-in and Stuntman work, having worked on films like Batman: The Dark Knight and The Bourne Ultimatum. These experiences help me bring a unique mix of scientific knowledge, practical insights, and motivation to my coaching. --- Current Projects I’ve written books, including "How to Be Carnivore: Your Road to Better Health," which is a comprehensive guide for anyone starting or thriving on a carnivore diet and “Guide To Blood Tests In The Conxtext Of Low-Carb, Keto and Carnivore” I also regularly produce health-focused content on my Substack blog and through my Skool community. On Substack, I explore topics such as the science behind low-carb and carnivore eating, reversing chronic conditions, and optimizing health.
