A carnivore podcast about life, THE MEAT OF IT is a series of solo rants and unusual conversations hosted by Michaelanthony, an artist from NYC. Over 3 years into a 100% carnivore diet for better health ― on an individual and global level ― Michaelanthony shares his zero carb philosophy and everyday adventures with you and his guests. (The chats aren’t always between two carnivores, but they’re always between two freethinkers.) Animal-based nutrition saved Michaelanthony’s life. Now he’s sharing and learning as much as he can about the rest of life’s unexpected truths. Let’s do more than chew the fat. Let’s get to THE MEAT OF IT!

After four years as a carnivore, it’s time for a new “about me” video! In this short, rapid-fire intro to my personal health journey, I’ll explain how eating fatty red meat saved my life.
Along the way, I hope to inspire others to learn from my mistakes and recovery.
And while I’m at it: a quick reminder that meat is also good for the environment!
Thank you to everyone who has followed my message over the years.
Eat meat, stay healthy, and live free!

It seems I’m recovering from what appears to be my second time with a common cold as a carnivore!
So if the carnivore diet’s so healthy, why am I sick? First of all, I used to get sick several times every single year ― not once every two years. That actually counts as tremendous progress!
More importantly, both illnesses came after sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. This time, I sprinkled some stress on top of that toxic stew. No wonder I came down with the sniffles!
But how am I recovering? Simple: sleep, supplements, and intermittent fasting. The supplements include grass-fed beef liver from Optimal Carnivore, wild-caught fish eggs from Ancestral Supplements, and canned cod liver. For an even bigger boost, I’ve added zinc, vitamin C, and iodine.
However, I’ve also been using cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, and ginger. These plant medicines clear my sinuses and have antimicrobial properties that could potentially help me to recover faster.
That’s right: I’m a carnivore who believes in plant medicine, and have always said so! But remember, it’s even better to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid getting sick in the first place. So I’m happy to set an example ― on both sides!
I hope that all of you are feeling and living your best.

This is a simple message for anyone who needs to hear it right now.
Never give up! Keep going, no matter what!
I needed this message myself, and I hope it helps you through something today.
Plus, I share a few thoughts about taking care of ourselves on every level: body, mind, and energy.

The United States government is officially treating climate change as a public health issue ― and that’s a bad thing. The Department of Health and Human Services has established an Office of Climate Change and Health Equity. Their goal: to set policies, regulations, and laws that meet the standards of misinformed environmentalists.
With “experts” claiming that meat harms human and environmental health, this has implications for the future of animal-based lifestyles.
More and more personal freedoms are being considered an unacceptable risk to others’ health and safety. Under national policies shaped by an anti-meat agenda, that would include a carnivore diet ― or any meat eating.
Will we lose the freedom that allowed us to find health by contradicting The Official Science™? It’s important to ask these questions while we still can!
Eat meat and live free,

In just over a week, I celebrate four years on a carnivore diet! But around the same time, NYC plans to start enforcing medical segregation.
Going carnivore gave me so much freedom over my life. Now I’m losing that in the city that has been my home since birth.
This must be my meatiest liberty rant yet!

Right now, there is nothing more important than the human right to individual liberty. While this comes with responsibilities, these duties include our obligation to defend that very freedom!
A foundation of natural-born liberty is our ultimate defense against the ever-encroaching tyranny of an opportunistic predator class.
This tension is as ancient as civilization itself. So is slavery, which is the natural outcome of submission.
Therefore, there is never a good reason to give up our natural-born freedoms.
All this and more in my latest liberty rant. Thank you for hearing me out!
Eat meat and live free,
Michaelanthony

Being on the right side of history often means being unpopular during your time. We can only withstand the discomfort ― or worse ― through hard-won courage.
Follow your conscience to the edge of the abyss, and it'll carry you over the worst of what you fear. You might still have to go through it, but at least you'll have the strength of being rooted your truth.
It is not just your right, but your responsibility to live from your innermost heart as you help to shape this universe with the rest of us.
Thank you to everyone who has been cheering on this message of liberty. It's more important now than ever!
Eat meat and live free,
Michaelanthony

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!
