Today we discuss restoring America’s health, not with another fad or magic pill, but by rethinking what we put in our bodies every single day. I’m using the word “diet” the way it’s meant to be used—our habitual nourishment, not some temporary punishment.

The truth is, our nation’s health is in the gutter. Chronic disease is skyrocketing, and the solution isn’t more meds and surgeries—it’s food. Real food.

In this episode, I break down how we got here, what all effective diets have in common, and six simple ways you can scale your eating habits to match your goals. Plus, some easy add-ons like fasting and portion control that can supercharge any plan.

This isn’t about dogma or perfection—it’s about making progress, being honest with yourself, and taking responsibility for your health. Because surviving isn’t enough. It’s time to thrive.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

• How I am using the term diet in this episode
  • Diet – habitual nourishment consumed as a regular matter of living for any living organism
• Let’s be honest genetics do play a role in how people respond to different foods
• Body weight is not the only measurement of health (good and bad) but it is an important one
• Growth in Chronic Disease & Indicators since 1970
  • 11.6% of Americans have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetics (90 million plus estimated have pre diabetes)
  • Almost 1 million Americans have end stage renal disease
  • The U.S. dialysis centers market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.29% in dollar value from 2023 to 2030 and will be a 40 billion dollar market by 2030.
  • The obesity rate in 1970 was about 15% today it is 42%
  • Global seed oils have grown in production by about 200 million metric tons since 1970
• All the diets that really improve health do have some commonalities
  • Involve whole foods
  • Reduce or totally remove seed oils
  • Have some form of portion controls (including eat all you want carnivore)
  • Reduce or eliminate artificial flavors, addictive additives, concentrated flavorings, etc.
• Diet One – No seed oils, no high fructose corn syrup, no dyes, no artificial additives limited to three meals and one snack
• Diet Two – Same as diet one, reduce total carbs to less than 100 carbs a day (this is still a lot of volume) and strive to eat food that is organic, grass fed, grown locally, etc.
• Diet Three – Same as diet two except reduce total carbs to 50-75 grams total a day
• Diet Four – True keto 20-25 total carbs, everything else is the same, net carbs with whole food only are okay, get 60-80% of calories from high quality fats
• Diet Five – Ketovore, almost carnivore, herbs are okay, small amounts of greens and berries from time to time, etc. but the primary diet is all animal foods, most meals are carnivore
• Diet Six – Full carnivore, all food comes from something that had a face and nothing else, “beef, bacon, butter and eggs”
• Kickers you can Add to Any DIet
  • No snacking
  • TMAD or OMAD
  • An eating window of 8 hours or less (intermittent fasting 16h or more a day)
  • Eliminate or reduce to once a week alcohol
  • Fasting 1- 4 days (I’ve never done more than 24 hours, you don’t have to do everytihng)
  • Exercise – everyone should do this, mental as much as physical gains occur
  • Meditation – doesn’t have to mean contemplation of your naval
• Thoughts on being “flexible”
  • Falling back to the lower level a time or two is no big deal in my view
  • Watch your weight, how your clothes fit and how you feel (inflammation)
  • Have your labs done and confer with a doctor who isn’t an establishment idiot
  • If you start eating cake and gunk every time you are at a “special thing” you’re an alcoholic hanging out in a bar, limit what is “special”
• Final thoughts – Do something, our national health is in decline, medical care is mostly unaffordable and quality is going to hell in a hand basket.  Don’t just survive, have the courage to thrive.
