interview with tattoo artist Joe Bird! Joe shares his powerful experience completing 100 DAYS on a strict carnivore diet, detailing the AMAZING results he's witnessed in his health and well-being.

Beyond the physical changes, Joe offers a fascinating and insightful perspective on addiction. He draws a compelling comparison between the journey of drug rehabilitation and breaking free from sugar and junk food. Joe highlights the crucial community support system available for those overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, contrasting it sharply with the often-unsupportive environment faced by individuals adopting a carnivore diet and cutting out sugar. He points out how society generally wouldn't suggest "moderation" to a drug addict, yet frequently pushes this idea on those trying to eliminate harmful foods.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone interested in the carnivore diet, the challenges of dietary change, and the psychology of addiction. Joe's story is inspiring and his insights are profound.

The audio is a bit wonky for the first 5 minutes, but they get it sorted

You can't be addicted to food

lol

Food Scientists use evolutionary traps

To hyper palatize unhealthy food, the food doesn't stop tasting good. If you eat a steak, it tastes amazing for the first few bites, then ok for a bit more, and soon you start to feel the steak is kinda blah... That is how food should work. The body can self regulate normal food.

Joe makes a great point - For recovering addicts a keto or carnivore diet can be beneficial for relapse prevention, to not trigger and give into the addictive pathways/behaviors.

Joe talks about how changing a diet is not socially supported, people demonize it... while trying to recover from drugs is socially supported. Breaking food addiction is much harder because everyone around you becomes a carbohydrate pusher.

People try to self medicate with

smoking
drugs
alcohol
food

The pathways are very similar.

Dr. Chaffee talks about gaslighting. The benefits people are seeing by their diet are being denied by those around them, that's not really happening. "you don't get high when you use cocaine, it's a anesthetic, nah". Abstainers vs moderators. We shouldn't pressure people who have decided that abstinence is the right way for them.

@1:11:45 - People see us doing carnivore, and they think we are like them, ohh my god they are restricting themselves every day, they must be bighting their nails to make sure they don't eat ice cream and they don't eat cookies... but no, you couldn't pay me to eat that now.
