Beyond the Pale: Anemia, The Missed Diagnosis S3E30

Beyond the Pale: Anemia, The Missed Diagnosis S3E30

What if the root cause of dozens of unexplained physical and psychological symptoms is not in your mind or your genes, but in your blood? Brendan Reesor, author of the book, ‘Beyond the Pale’, joins us to make a compelling case that anemia is one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions driving a wide range of ailments that conventional medicine keeps failing to resolve. Brendan walks us through the foundational role of oxygen in every system of the body and explains how even a moderate reduction in oxygen delivery can quietly erode your physical health, your emotional stability, and your mental clarity. When your cells are starved for oxygen, the downstream effects are far wider than fatigue. He connects anemia to somatic disorders, the very real physical symptoms that arise from physiological dysfunction, rather than psychological origin, and makes the case that this connection is consistently overlooked by practitioners who are simply not looking for it. Perhaps most thought-provoking is Brendan's personal experience and research into gender dysphoria as a potential somatic expression of chronic anemia. It is a perspective rooted in his own journey and one that challenges us to ask harder questions before accepting a diagnosis as fixed or permanent. Brendan also takes direct aim at the current standard of blood testing, arguing that the reference ranges used today are not sensitive enough to detect true anemia in many of the people who have it. He believes the entire framework for evaluating iron status and oxygen-carrying capacity needs to be overhauled, and he explains exactly why that matters for anyone who has been told their labs look fine while they keep feeling anything but. We also dig into how a carnivore diet can dramatically shift the picture. The bioavailable iron, B12, and heme nutrients found in animal foods are precisely what a depleted body needs, and Brendan explains why whole food nutrition delivers results that no supplement protocol can fully replicate. If you have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply told to live with symptoms no one can explain, this conversation may change the way you think about your health entirely.

Endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, Hashimoto’s S3E29

What happens when decades of chronic pain, endometriosis, and a Hashimoto's diagnosis during pregnancy finally meets the one thing that works? Alia Wells found out. In this lively episode, we talk with Alia, a woman in her early 40s who spent years navigating the relentless cycle of endometriosis pain, debilitating migraines, and joint inflammation that left her searching for answers mainstream medicine couldn't give her. Then came a Hashimoto's thyroiditis diagnosis during a pregnancy, and everything changed again. What followed was her introduction to the Carnivore diet, and a transformation she describes as life-altering. Today, her endometriosis symptoms are under control, her joint pain is gone, and her Hashimoto's is managed without the struggle she once knew. And now, she's expecting again, this time stepping into a fully Carnivore pregnancy with confidence and excitement. Alia brings a unique perspective to this conversation. As executive assistant to Dr. Rob Kiltz and administrator of the Kiltz Mighty Tribe community on Mighty Networks, she lives and breathes this space every day. She's not just a patient success story. She's someone embedded in one of the most active Carnivore communities online, watching thousands of people walk the same path she did. This episode is for anyone dealing with hormonal conditions, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, or fertility concerns who wonders whether food could actually be the missing piece. Topics covered: - Alia’s years-long battle with endometriosis pain and migraines - Developing Hashimoto's during pregnancy and what that journey looked like - How she found Carnivore, and what the transition was like - Managing an autoimmune thyroid condition through diet alone - Preparing for a carnivore pregnancy and what that means for her Connect with Alia, administrator of Kiltz’s Mighty Tribe on Mighty Networks If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

The Evidence Is In…And It’s Undeniable S3E28

Health educator Edward Goeke joins us on Carnivore Evolution with a rare combination of deeply researched knowledge, and lived experience. His healing journey on carnivore is compelling on its own, but what sets Edward apart is what he’s done with that experience. He’s built a body of work grounded in science rather than hype, and he’s using it to help others do the same. His book ‘Contraindicated’ challenges the conventional nutrition narrative with the kind of evidence-based rigor that’s been sorely missing from the conversation. His YouTube channel gives a platform to real people living this lifestyle, while going deep on the science behind it. With his Health Science teaching community on Skool, Edward has built something rare: a space for serious learners who want the human body explained plainly, with one agenda only (to teach the truth), and who actually want to understand how the science connects to their daily life. Edward is also an instructor with Carnivore Coach International, one of the leading Carnivore coaching certification programs, and he also publishes a newsletter for those who want to stay current as the research evolves. If you’ve been on carnivore for a while, and feel ready for a deeper conversation, or are someone who needs to understand the ‘why’ before you commit to a major dietary change, this episode is for you. We get into the evidence, the nuance, and parts of metabolic health that most people never hear about.

Davinia Taylor: Fat Changed Everything S3E27

Davinia Taylor stepped off camera for good, walked away from alcohol, away from processed food, and toward something most doctors still won’t say out loud: Fat saves lives. A British actress turned biohacker, author, and health activist, Davinia used ketogenic nutrition to break a decades-long addiction to alcohol and foods designed to addict us. She speaks plainly and doesn’t apologize for it. In this episode, we get into the real biology behind addiction and cravings, why willpower was never the problem, and what GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are getting dangerously wrong. If you’ve been told to eat less and move more, and it hasn’t worked, this conversation is for you.

Carnivore Transformed Her S3E26

Annie never expected food to change her life the way it did. After years of struggling with brain fog, brutal periods, skin that never seemed to cooperate, and a body that felt like it was working against her, she decided to try the Carnivore diet, with a strong emphasis on fat. What happened next surprised even her. In this video, Annie opens up about the remarkable shifts she experienced after going all in on a meat-based, fat-forward way of eating. Her mental clarity sharpened in ways she hadn’t felt in years, making her more focused and present in her daily life and her relationships. Her menstrual cycle became noticeably less disruptive, allowing her to stay active and exercise through days that used to leave her on the couch. She gets into her workouts now and recovers well, without the physical menses cycle fallout she used to take for granted as normal. Then there’s her skin. Clear, calm, and consistent in a way no product ever delivered. Her libido returned. Her relationships deepened. Her confidence grew. All of it tracing back to the same simple change: real food, real fat, and the willingness to go against the grain. If you’re a woman wondering whether Carnivore could work for you, Annie’s story is one you’ll want to hear. Annie is a proponent of Dr. Elizabeth Bright. She recommends the doctor’s book: ‘Good Fat is Good for Women: Menopause’. Annie shares her thoughts about life and health on TikTok @JustThisAnnie.
