Carnivore Bar Creator Phillip Meece: A Veteran Making Keto Nutrition Convenient!

Phillip Meece created the Carnivore Bar: a convenient, high-fat snack or meal replacement made with pure beef! (Sea salt optional.) His mission is to make high-energy, whole-food, animal-based nutrition more portable for even the strictest carnivores among us. It’s one of my favorite products!

 

A United States Army veteran, Phillip served as a combat medic in Afghanistan. His experiences with food and health in that environment ― along with his childhood in Mongolia ― have led him from health to sickness and back again.

 

In this free-flowing chat, Phillip and I discuss his life, his work, and the history and future of natural health through lifestyle. And since he’s a medic, Phillip drops lots of truth backed up by SCIENCE!

 

You can support Phillip’s work ― and get some Carnivore Bars for yourself ― at https://carnivorebar.com/.

 

Thanks for watching or listening, and see you again soon!
