In this video, Sameer Dossani (Health Coach & Anthropologist) breaks down the real truth about digestion, diet, and how to actually heal your gut. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at just 21, she was told the words no one wants to hear: “We don’t know what causes it… and there’s no cure.” But instead of accepting that, she went on a mission to take back control of her health. From extreme weight struggles to severe gut disease, multiple surgeries, and harsh medications — this is a story of resilience, experimentation, and ultimately transformation. By diving deep into nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle changes, she achieved something most people are told is impossible… remission. This conversation challenges everything you think you know about chronic disease, medication, and healing. 👉 If you’ve ever been told “this is just how it is” — this episode will make you question everything. If you're struggling with: → Bloating → Low energy → Brain fog → Digestive issues This is for you. Expect: → Science-backed insights (without the fluff) → Ancestral perspectives on modern health → Practical strategies you can apply immediately → Honest conversations about what actually works 💡 About Sameer Dossani: Sameer Dossani is a Health Coach and Anthropologist helping people restore their gut health by combining modern science with ancestral wisdom.

#80 Amber O'Hearn on Carnivore Controversies & Mental Health

Can humans really thrive on a diet consisting only of animal foods? Book your free call: 👉 https://www.sameerdossani.net/BookNow In this conversation, @l.amberohearn450 shares her personal journey with the carnivore diet after struggling for years with treatment-resistant depression. What began as an experiment to improve her health eventually led her to explore the science behind meat-based nutrition and its possible effects on metabolic and mental health. Amber explains how a carnivore diet influenced her own health, why many people question whether humans can survive without plants, and why the common assumption that carnivore dieters would develop scurvy may not actually be correct. We also discuss the role of vitamin C in the body, how Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) were originally determined, and what human evolution may reveal about the foods humans are adapted to eat. 🎥 Watch the referenced discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT7u2GlEfxs&t=1360s Topics covered in this episode • Amber’s experience with treatment-resistant depression • Discovering the carnivore diet • Why carnivore dieters don’t develop scurvy • Vitamin C and metabolic health • Salt and electrolyte debates in low-carbohydrate diets • Human evolution and meat consumption • The anthropology of early human diets This conversation explores the science, controversy, and personal experience behind one of the most debated dietary approaches today.

#79 Hinduism Was Never Vegetarian with Bindesh Vimala

Watch Bindesh Vimala channel @BindeshVimala Watch episode with Dr. Veena Shatrugna : https://youtu.be/841IArkA91M Watch episode with Dr. Manoshi Bhatacharya: https://youtu.be/gQIRmpbYfoI Watch podcast mentioned at 31:54 - https://youtu.be/WRoR-PQw6ao https://youtu.be/J0UxLNyK-es https://youtu.be/dQdhK1Dg-kw In this episode, we explore a deeply personal journey through health, culture, and spirituality. Raised mostly vegetarian and later committing fully to a vegan diet for spiritual reasons, our guest shares how his health slowly declined — from low energy and joint pain to feeling mentally ungrounded. Despite strong beliefs and cultural conditioning, his body began sending clear signals that something wasn’t right. After fasting, intense cravings, and even dreaming about meat, he made a decision that challenged everything he had been taught. The result? Improved clarity, strength, grounding, and a renewed understanding of what works for his body. This conversation dives into: • Growing up vegetarian and struggling with weight • The link between spirituality and food choices • Cultural conditioning around meat and purity • Anthropology, biology, and human nutrition • Why listening to your body matters more than dogma This is not about ideology — it’s about curiosity, self-experimentation, and reclaiming personal health.
