Franklyn and I met 25 years ago as pudgy high-school metalheads. I was always the heavier one, and grew heavier still. But by the time I’d lost the weight as a full-adult carnivore, Frank had developed a “dad bod.” To be stronger and live longer for his family, Frank sought better health and found it in a “carnivore-keto” lifestyle.
In this free-flowing convo, we discuss how eating meat and minimizing plant foods has healed Franklyn on multiple levels. This change has shaped how he raises three children with his supportive, naturopathic wife. Frank tells us not just how, but why they do what they do!
We share irrefutable anecdotes and debunk the anti-meat agenda! Frank also names a bunch of carnivores and other influencers he recommends for lifestyle insights.
This non-stop episode has something for parents, health nerds, conspiracy theorists, and probably anybody else who cares as much as they do ― about anything!
I’m very proud of Franklyn and his family, and know that you’ll get something out of his story. Frank is always good for solid advice or a corny joke. My fellow metalhead has truly gone full-dad.
This chat was an hour and a half! Yet it flies by every time I hear it.
A list of topics and timestamps is included below.
Thanks for hanging out with us!

The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholz

An anti-meat agenda with backing from billionaires and multinational corporations is accelerating under the guise of urgent environmentalist action by world governments.
In other words, fascists want to take your steak to “save the planet” with their profitable alternative proteins. They might let you eat insects, though.
Before 2030, we could actually be censored for promoting meat consumption, taxed for eating animal products, and pushed into consuming experimental and processed imitation beef.
If this sounds alarmist, look at how little dissent is allowed regarding the pandemic. Authorities demand that everyone agree and comply for everyone else’s good. That’s also the plan for climate change initiatives, which include the attempted reduction or eradication of animal-based foods.
The World Economic Forum’s website says, “While we are reeling in the shock of what is happening around us and coming to terms with our new reality, we could seize this moment as a unique window of opportunity to re-build our society and economy as we want it. With scientists warning we have 10 years left to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, this could offer an opportunity to fix the climate crisis before it's too late.”
This article points to the rise of faith in experts during the pandemic and says, “We need to listen to climate scientists and policy advisors to win the climate change fight too.”
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/covid-19-climate-change/
A search for “meat” on WEForum.org reveals a long-term anti-meat agenda with an urgent deadline coming soon. Including a series of reports titled “Meat: The Future.” Much of the focus is on reducing animal agriculture and encouraging what they call “alternative proteins.” The WEF claims that meat consumption hurts the environment along with human health. This kind of industry-led misinformation controls the culture, supporting their openly-stated goals.
https://www.weforum.org/search?query=meat
And remember: If we’re not allowed to disagree with experts on the pandemic today, we can’t expect freedom of speech around climate change once this becomes the focus.
What can we do, then? Live as healthy and free a life as possible. Here and now. You were born free, and you don’t need to wait for permission.
All this and more in perhaps my longest rant ever!
This discussion begins with an answer to a Patreon supporter’s question about the raw Primal diet. Since I haven’t tried that exact diet, we’ll look back at my very lazy attempt at Paleo years ago. Along with my present-day love of raw liver.
The anti-meat agenda discussion starts at around 13:00.
Another carnivore conversation should be coming very soon!
Eat meat and live freely,

Michael Willis joined me for a chat about his carnivore journey! A facilities manager and granddad in his early fifties, Michael has lost over 100 pounds and, perhaps more importantly, improved his wellbeing from the inside out with a keto-carnivore lifestyle!
Michael’s healing began with a ketogenic diet. When he found his way to carnivory, his health improved even more. And, much like myself and many other carnivores, he is now an enthusiastic advocate for our surprisingly natural approach to health.
00:00 Intro to Michael’s carnivore origin story!
01:37 Weight loss versus other benefits of deep healing through diet.
03:06 Michael and I compare our past attempts at dieting.
06:15 How an unhealthy diet is like smoking and other slow poisons.
08:38 The role of patience in achieving improved health.
11:04 How a healthy lifestyle can reverse signs of aging.
11:40 Pushback from non-carnivores ― and how to (respectfully) inform them.
15:40 Both Michaels reflect on their carboholic pasts.
16:52 How online communications help connect us to more people and knowledge.
19:15 Sourcing more meat from independent, mostly local farms.
20:40 The struggle to minimize culinary vices ― and the reasons.
22:23 How fiber is overrated (or even miscategorized) as a nutrient.
24:05 The importance of sharing your story.
26:26 The push for veganism, meatless Mondays, and the whole anti-meat agenda.
30:44 The importance of having support from family, friends, and others.
32:22 How everyday people can change each other’s lives by sharing experiences.
35:07 How culture affects our views on diet and health.
38:16 Weighing the pros and cons of junk food versus diet.
39:23 Wrapping up the chat!
Afterwards, I chime in with a few more words to tie everything together. And to give some thankful shout-outs!
Michael’s story, like the spirit with which he tells it, is full of hope. He shares that hope with us generously in this conversation, and I hope some of that rubs off on you.

As the Excelsior Pass looms over NYC, I’m reflecting on the unspoken alternative: natural health.
This talk begins with a discussion of natural supplementation through both lifestyle and keto-friendly products.
I’ve been eating a lot of salmon roe, which is the lifestyle route. And grass-fed, grass-finished beef liver is the ultimate superfood, packing intensely bioavailable micronutrition. However, I’ve also started using electrolyte powder ― still all-natural, but stronger than mineral water. All of these are helping to further optimize my carnivore diet.
Here’s the mind-bleeping mountain goat video that got me to take electrolytes more seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG9TMn1FJzc!!!!!
I also discuss “The Great Reset,” recently re-branded as “The Davos Agenda” ― probably because people were creeped out by its totalitarian goals. If you think it’s just a baseless conspiracy theory, here’s their actual website: https://www.weforum.org/great-reset.
Remember: navigate all propaganda with caution. But it’s all there: the plans these plutocrats have for your life, whether you like it or not. They see your personal choices as either a nuisance or a threat.
We’re in the way of their goals to depopulate the planet, which is one of Bill Gates’ publicly-stated concerns. As strongly intimated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlbeXrb_5A
This is unabashed population control by billionaires, who are currently installing a digital form of feudalism. Countless small businesses have been destroyed, increasing the wealth of even fewer individuals and corporations. Corporatism, the more capitalistic face of fascism, is merging big business and government across the world.
It’s important to remember that these people have no authority over you. Nobody has authority over you but yourself, as long as you actively defend the rights with which you were born. Anyone who says otherwise is a bully. You can stand up to a bully, can’t you? Will you?
My apologies for the background noise. This was actually outside on a windy day. I did my best to clean up the audio.
Just near the end, my microphone cuts out. Sorry for that, too! I’ve also tried to make that snippet more audible.
Coming soon: interviews! More details on the way.
Thank you for watching and listening. Stay healthy and free!

Highlights from the Worldwide Rally for Freedom in NYC, March 20, 2021. The event was held at Union Square.
As a lifelong New Yorker who attended high school around the corner from this very park, I am thrilled to share this moment in history with you. This is the moment NYC joined the world in defiance of tyranny!
There were some audio issues, but I did my best to make it all work together.
This is audio from the shorter edit of the event video. A much longer version is being uploaded to Odysee, Rumble, and BitChute. This shorter video should be available on YouTube.

Stay healthy and free!

“Oof! I shouldn’t have eaten that.
“Ugh. Shouldn’t have eaten that, either!”
Why do we crave foods that make us feel sick? More importantly, why do they make us ill in the first place?
For the past couple of days, I’ve spent hours in severe discomfort after eating too many jalapeño pork cracklin’ snacks. Along with a chorizo that, though very mild, nonetheless burned me in the literal end.
As many carnivores already know, this is because plants defend themselves with toxins and irritants. The spicy capsaicin in peppers, the pungent allicin in garlic ― these are there to kill small organisms and, hopefully, also deter larger creatures like us.
But humans actually LIKE the burning sensation, even though that kick is actually the plant fighting you off with a mild dose of death. Only birds are immune to the burn, so they are the animals responsible for spreading that plant’s seeds. Nature has it all worked out! And then we humans do our own weird thing, as usual.
This episode is a rant about the consequences of straying too far from Nature ― particularly when it comes to diet!

00:36 Plant vs. animal food sensitivities; why plant foods cause more problems.
01:12 Why red meat from ruminant animals is so healthy!
03:00 A few reasons why plants are poor food for humans.
03:45 Why ruminant meats outshine others in nutrition, etc.
05:05 Reminder: Fiber is an irritant, not a nutrient!
05:45 Why YMMV with eggs and dairy.
08:13 How plants defend themselves against us with irritants and poisons.
09:49 The human tendency to crave toxic phytochemicals for their side effects.
10:12 My 6-mile snack run to and from Whole Foods!
11:01 Showing you the snacks I bought! (Hint: Not pork rinds. But you’re close…)
16:22 How capsaicin ― that spicy feel ― is designed to protect plants from us!
Plus: My nightmare after eating too many jalapeño pork cracklins!
18:13 Why the mild chorizo sausage I ate the next day made me feel sick ― again.
19:29 The nicotine in nightshade plant foods and the insulin resistance it causes.
20:23 Garlic and its stanky phytochemical, allicin. (Plus: How I ate raw garlic as a kid. By choice!)
22:20 Oxalates ― a quick reminder. (Look up Sally K. Norton!)
23:00 Why being more sensitive on a carnivore diet is a good thing, not a disadvantage.
(Hint: It’s good to notice when you’re being poisoned!)
24:32 Finding alternatives to snacks with dubious ingredients ― like too many spices!
24:52 Making my own snacks, including ground beef burger strips!
26:41 Aiming to source meat from the most humane, sustainable, local farms possible.
27:05 Optimal Carnivore grass-fed liver capsules ― a great option! (Also not a sponsor.)

A carnivore lifestyle can actually be more humane and eco-friendly than veganism. It’s definitely healthier for us!
But what does that have to do with taking driving lessons in your late 30s? You might be surprised.
Here’s an outline of this week’s rant! Topics on this timeline may overlap.
00:53 An update on my driving lessons as a first-timer at age 37!
04:50 The mental health dangers of veganism and other unnatural lifestyle patterns.
06:34 The huge ethical hole in veganism’s cruelty-free claim.
07:30 How a carnivore diet can be kinder to animals than a vegan diet.
10:10 More about the mental and chronic illnesses that can be triggered by plant foods.
13:38 How veganism is unethical toward animals, unhealthy for the human animal, and bad for the environment.
14:25 How a carnivore diet makes natural nutrition simple ― along with recipes!
15:37 Protecting, defending, and continuing my natural lifestyle by fleeing the city for the wilderness.
16:18 The current pattern of abuse against and between humans worldwide.
18:29 A reminder that we, the people, are more powerful than the self-appointed aristocratic few.
20:08 Why I have to leave the city as soon as possible ― Part Two!
21:06 How to peacefully resist the current tide of tyranny. (Hint: Live your life!)
21:25 How carnivory is kinder to animals and the planet ― Part Two!
22:38 My transition from hopelessly urban to rugged outdoorsman, step by step ― so far.
Thanks for watching and listening!

Yet another lifelong New Yorker is finally leaving the city. That’s right ― I’m relocating!
Over the next few months, you’ll be witnessing my transformation from a coddled city boy into a green-in-every-way outdoorsman!
I’m currently so hopelessly urban that I’m in the process of getting my driver’s permit back. Not license ― permit! I need a permit to take driving lessons so that I can finally drive. I really should’ve done this twenty years ago. Regardless, it’s exciting!
My plan is to move upstate or out-of-state to a few acres of land, including hunting grounds and somewhere to go fishing. A carnivore homestead! I’ll be taking it step by step, though, so I’ll probably be ordering from local farms for a while.
And while I’m getting myself out of the city, I’m getting my savings into cryptocurrency! Mostly Bitcoin. Another way to vote with our dollars against an alarmingly centralized banking network that is losing all credibility.
This is not advice, but here’s where I’m investing my dough: land and Bitcoin.
Bill Gates is now the largest owner of farmland in the United States, and he doesn’t want us to eat meat. At least not the real, all-natural meat that we’ve been eating for hundreds of thousands of years. But I’m going to have my own piece of this great country, and it will be dedicated to a freer, more natural life.
So here’s to homesteading, cryptocurrency, and ― getting to the point ― liberty!
I hope that no matter your circumstances, you are finding every way possible to maximize your freedom. Because you were born free. The only rights we lack are the rights we give away. It’s time to take them back!
All this and more in my latest rant, which turned out much longer than expected. A full half-hour!
Plus, the video includes a picture of me at 12 years old on a hiking trail in Austria in 1996! (19:00)
Did I mention the pictures from when I recently made liver jerky? That’s at the very end. (27:21)
Thanks for watching and listening!

Introducing: 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝙀𝘼𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙄𝙏, a carnivore podcast about life. A series of solo rants and unusual conversations!
In this podcast, I’ll be focusing more on the carnivore diet and lifestyle, but tying it into life’s everyday and big-picture perspectives.
Yes, I really, really had to change the title of my podcast again. This time, it’s for keeps. I swear!
This is also a video podcast, so be sure to watch on YouTube and Rumble for bonus content ― like pictures of my delicious food!
I’m excited to be making videos and carnivore content again, along with continuing the podcast.
My apologies for the audio quality this time; due to technical difficulties, the recording required extensive repairs. I felt the content was worth saving, and I hope you agree.
Thanks for listening ― and watching!
