    #46 The Unbelievable Story Behind One of Carnivore's Fastest Rising Coaches | Ivy Sardi

    In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Ivy Sardi for an incredible conversation about addiction, incarceration, second chances, and the journey that ultimately led him to the carnivore lifestyle. Ivy was once a promising athlete, but after a serious injury derailed the future he had envisioned, his life began spiraling into drugs, addiction, and eventually prison. He says going to jail ultimately saved his life—giving him the time and space to get sober, take an honest look at who he had become, and make the decision to completely rebuild his life. Today, Ivy is a carnivore coach helping others transform their health, and we dive into what he has learned along the way. We talk about his unexpected path to carnivore, why he believes healing should come before obsessing over weight loss, fasting and changing your eating patterns, metabolic health, mindset, consistency, and why blindly copying someone else's carnivore approach can backfire. Ivy's story is about much more than food. It's about what can happen when you hit rock bottom, decide your past doesn't have to determine your future, and take advantage of a second chance. In this episode, we discuss: Ivy's journey from promising athlete to addiction and incarcerationWhy he says jail saved his lifeRebuilding his health and identity after addictionHow he discovered carnivore before realizing it had a nameTurning his transformation into a career helping othersWhy health improvements don't always show up immediately on the scaleFasting, OMAD, and changing eating patternsWeight-loss stalls on carnivoreWhy individual experimentation mattersThe mindset shift that helped Ivy completely change the direction of his life Follow Ivy on Instagram: @iamivysardi 1 on 1 Coaching with Ivy: https://r.newie.app/3ebyzli8ky4t If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear Ivy's story.

    #45 Miss Meat: The Carnivore Diet Changed My Life at 24

    In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Miss Meat to talk about her journey from lifelong stomach issues, acid reflux, cystic acne, and years of trying to “eat clean” to finding animal-based eating and eventually going full carnivore. At just 24 years old, Miss Meat has built a large following online by sharing her meat-based lifestyle, rare steaks, simple meals, and honest experience with healing her gut, skin, and mindset through carnivore. We talk about what she was eating before carnivore, how her friends and family reacted, why she believes more young people are afraid of meat, and what it is really like to share such a controversial way of eating on social media. We also get into her day of eating, why she feels best on a mostly lion-style carnivore approach, her thoughts on salt, fat, weight loss stalls, and her biggest advice for anyone just starting carnivore. Whether you are new to carnivore, curious about animal-based eating, or just want to hear a younger perspective on this lifestyle, this conversation is such a fun and honest look at what happens when you stop fearing meat and start listening to your body.

    #42 Celebrity Chef James Barry Exposes the Biggest Food Problem

    Celebrity chef and founder of Pluck, James Barry, joins me for a fascinating conversation about nutrient density, organ meats, modern nutrition, and the missing pieces in today’s food culture. After spending over 20 years cooking for celebrities, professional athletes, and high-profile clients, James shares what he learned about health, real food, and why so many people are still undernourished despite eating “healthy.” We also dive into the deeply personal story involving his daughter’s health crisis and how that experience completely changed the trajectory of his life and career. From there, we explore why organ meats were prized by our ancestors, the nutritional gaps in modern diets, and practical ways people can incorporate more nutrient-dense foods without forcing themselves to choke down liver. This episode covers nose-to-tail nutrition, carnivore-adjacent eating, food quality, cravings, micronutrients, and why your body may be asking for more than just calories. James also explains the philosophy behind Pluck and why seasoning with organ meats might be one of the easiest ways to upgrade your nutrition. Topics Discussed: • Organ meats & nutrient density • Nose-to-tail nutrition • Modern nutrient deficiencies • Food quality & cravings • Celebrity chef insights • James Barry’s daughter’s health journey • Carnivore & ancestral nutrition • How to eat more organs easily • The philosophy behind Pluck • Why “healthy eating” still fails people Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chefjamesbarry/ Website: https://eatpluck.com/ Everyday Ancestral with James Barry on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC7XF0-HKj3y7c_O-2uoRpfg Everyday Ancestral with James Barry on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/60v6ZOabgiJOeW9kjYIf9i ORDER MY BOOK COMPLETE CARNIVORE: Amazon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4oFNsgj⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ B&N: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-carnivore-jenny-mitich/1146838850?ean=9781628605761&st=AFF&2sid=Random%20House%20Inc_8373827_NA&sourceId=AFFRandom%20House%20Inc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For international viewers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Complete-Carnivore-by-Jenny-Mitich/9781628605761⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    #41 The Truth About Parasites, Iodine, and Liver Cleanses (No One Tells You This) with Sara Banta

    In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Sara Banta to talk about some of the most misunderstood topics in health right now: iodine, liver cleansing, parasites, and why so many people still feel unwell even when they’re eating better. We get into the iodine and Hashimoto’s debate, how iodine interacts with the thyroid, and why toxin exposure from things like fluoride, bromide, and chlorine may matter more than most people realize. We also talk about liver health, what a liver cleanse is meant to do, and how sluggish detox pathways can affect fat loss, digestion, and energy. We also discuss parasites, common symptoms people may overlook, and how parasite cleansing fits into the bigger picture of gut health and detoxification. If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, thyroid issues, or stubborn weight loss, this is a fascinating conversation that connects a lot of dots.

    #39 Carnivore JT Exposes the Biggest Lies About Protein, LDL, and Health

    In this episode, I sit down with Carnivore JT to break down the biggest lie in nutrition — especially the ones athletes still believe. We dig into why carb loading is garbage, how athletes have been misled about protein intake, and why fear around LDL cholesterol continues to dominate nutrition advice despite weak evidence. Carnivore JT explains how health misinformation became mainstream, why conventional nutrition dogma fails athletes, and how the carnivore diet reframes metabolic health, performance, and recovery. We also dive into the often-ignored connection between diet and mental health, why ultra-processed foods quietly destroy healthspan, and how removing dietary noise can lead to better energy, focus, and long-term results. If you’ve ever questioned athlete nutrition guidelines, cholesterol panic, or the obsession with carbs, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been told. This episode is for: Athletes questioning carb loading Anyone confused about protein intake People worried about LDL cholesterol Those struggling with mental health and energy Anyone tired of nutrition misinformation Topics covered: Why carb loading doesn’t work for athletes Protein myths and optimal protein intake LDL cholesterol and why it’s misunderstood Carnivore diet and metabolic health Nutrition misinformation in modern medicine Diet, mental health, and performance If you’re looking for real conversations about nutrition, health, and performance — without the dogma — you’re in the right place. 👉 Subscribe for more discussions on carnivore diet, metabolic health, cholesterol myths, and athlete nutrition.
