Today we have a rare in-studio podcast with Mikhaila Peterson. You may have seen here on the news or in articles (where she is being attacked). Her and her dad Jordan Peterson eat an all meat diet which the mainstream media and doctors seem to have a giant problem with.

This is just her story, and yes she has specific problems, but I think there’s value in hearing this and considering an elimination diet to see how you feel. You can always add back in foods slowly. You never know if you could be on a whole new plane of existence and feel that much more amazing if you eliminate foods that could be giving you problems. Also, I should say that I have no problem with the carnivore diet but believe it should be done from a more nose to tail approach. At least get some liver and bone broth in the mix. Just my 2 cents.

Mikhaila came into the studio to film for a little segment of the Food Lies film. We did a relatively short podcast and then did some film-specific stuff. Please support the Food Lies by pre-ordering on Indiegogo. It’s the only way this film or even this podcast is possible. I’m keeping this ad-free because, as a podcast listener myself, I hate to interrupt good content with ads. So please know that pre-ordering the film and/or getting the Eat Meat t-shirt is a way of supporting us.

Show Notes

Mikhaila is in SAPIEN Headquarters live in studio the day before she goes on the Joe Rogan podcast
People don’t think of diet when they think of stuff like depressions, anxiety, arthritis, etc. when it is likely the first place we should be looking
Her story of growing up with terrible health problems that went undiagnosed
Had a pretty healthy diet until college
Got laughed at by doctors when mom mentioned oranges caused a flare up
Then got a rash that pushed it over the edge. Looked into celiac disease
She started an elimination diet without knowing anything about food
She accidentally started eating an autoimmune disease protocol diet
Everything changed when she got pregnant
Cut down from meat and salad to just meat
Why didn’t doctors question what she was eating through all her visits over her life?
She had her hip replaced and an ankle replaced as a child
She has specific problems, so it’s in one way her specific circumstance, but in another, it’s representative of many people
Slowly getting worse over the years without realizing it. The new norm is 20 pounds overweight
Brain health: Depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, etc.
Some people can cheat, but others have to be really strict with their diet
Her dad is Jordan Peterson https://jordanbpeterson.com and has his own struggle with physical and mental problems
People attack her and her dad and say it’s a placebo effect or they are lying, etc.
Vegan propaganda
Vitamin C and other vitamins, minerals, and blood work
Adjusting to the all meat diet
I had no cravings for sweets after only 2 days on carnivore
Should all people try out an elimination diet?
Even just cutting sugar and grains can make a world of difference. Also could lose soy and dairy she says
All animal based diets and all plant based diets are equally extreme
Eating this way is a lot easier and not hard to stick to

Morning sickness could just be eating foods that don’t agree with you and your growing baby
Pregnant women who crave meat or sardines - your body is telling you something
We have the wrong message in America demonizing meat which we know is especially needed during pregnancy
Meanwhile Germany has the correct message and has meat vending machines
