Many people in the CARNIVORE & LOW CARB space don't believe in LOW-GRADE ACIDOSIS.
That's because they have not researched this field or looked at the clinical studies on CARNIVORE/HIGH ANIMAL PROTEIN DIETS.
Let's take a DEEP DIVE into how this works and let's cover the human studies showing that High Animal Protein/Carnivore diets (not offset with some type of base) leads to:
1.) Increased urinary calcium WITHOUT a compensatory increase in calcium absorption
2.) Negative calcium balance
3.) Increased bone breakdown
4.) Decreased bone formation
5.) Decrease vitamin D activation
6.) Increased propensity for uric acid and
oxalate kidney stones
All studies covered in this Youtube Video piped.video/watch?v=ts6AO0-d…
If you want to learn more about low-grade acidosis you can read my publications here pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… AND pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…@KenDBerryMD@SBakerMD@joerogan@anthony_chaffee@nicknorwitz
Month 22 of a pandemic and I’ve yet to see a single news station bring on a real health expert to talk about the importance of diet, exercise, sleep and sunlight. Weird. @joerogan
Year 2 of a pandemic and I still haven’t heard any public officials talk about the benefits of:
-Nutrition
-Exercise
-Sunlight
-Cutting sugar & seed oils
-Maintaining a healthy body weight
-Getting 8 hours of sleep
Towards positive public health outcomes.

The modern mistakes of nutrition
1.Blaming salt for what sugar did.
2.Blaming fat for what refined carbs did.
3.Blaming butter for what margarine did.
4.Blaming cholesterol for what inflammation did.
5.Blaming eggs for what toast did.
6.Blaming bacon for what cereal did.
How To Become Unrecognizable:
- 3 eggs per day
- 3 L of water
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 45 minutes walking
- 4 weight lifting sessions/week
- 30-50g protein/meal
- 8 hrs of sleep
All you have to do is execute.
If 90% of your diet was:
- Steak
- Eggs
- Fish
- Yogurt
- Berries
- Chicken
- Avocados
- Ground beef
- Veggies of choice
You would lose fat, gain
muscle & have 10X the energy.
HYDRATION CHEAT SHEET
The human body is 60% WATER
A THIRD of that is SALT WATER
We cry, sweat & bleed SALT WATER
We’re essentially WALKING OCEANS
Stop drinking PLAIN water to “hydrate”
CREATINE is the most evidence
based supplement on earth. It’s been studied for over 50 years
and is 100% effective.
Here are 8 things you should know
about CREATINE.
Magnesium is your energy mineral
It is important for maintaining normal
electrolyte levels in the cell
Magnesium is now a missing mineral in
our diet
Here are 9 things you should know
about magnesium
When to take your supplements:
Vitamin D3/K2 - with fat & daytime
Magnesium - away from high fat/fiber
B-vitamins - 30 min before caffeine
Omega-3s - with fat away from iron
Inositol - daytime or evening
Creatine - post-lift w carbs/protein
Collagen - post-exercise w vitamin C
Salt & electrolytes - b4 caffeine/coffee
CoQ10 - with fat and after a meal
“Eating healthy is too expensive”
Whole chicken = $9.99
Big Mac meal = $9.29
Grass-fed beef = $9.99/lb
Whopper = $10.29

Eating junk food is more expensive
because it costs you your health.
Dizzy? Take salt.
No energy? Take salt.
Headache? Take salt.
Brain fog? Take salt.
Can’t focus? Take salt.
Salt is your hydration mineral

your quality of life suffers.
Eat 1 steak per day
Eat 3-6 eggs per day
Eat Greek yogurt & fruit
Walk 30-60 minutes/day
Get 20 minutes of sunlight
Lift weights 45 min 4x/week

It’s boring until it’s not. This is the way.
Taking VITAMIN D without
MAGNESIUM & K2 can be harmful!
Vitamin D absorbs calcium, but…
Vitamin K2 moves calcium out of
the arteries and into the bone!
Magnesium also does this AND
it ACTIVATES Vitamin D.
Vitamin D does NOT work without
Vitamin K2 and Magnesium!
• Magnesium (200 mg)
• Inositol (1-3 grams)
• Glycine (2-3 grams)
Will give you the greatest
sleep of your life.
If you haven’t tried it, you have
no idea what you’re missing.
If you:
- Walked for 30 minutes/day
- Slept for 8 hours per night
- Drank water with electrolytes
- Lifted weights 3-5x per week
- Ate 30-50g of protein per meal
- Got morning & evening sunlight
In 6 months time you would be
unrecognizable
If you take VITAMIN D, you also
need MAGNESIUM & VITAMIN K2.
Magnesium ACTIVATES vitamin D.
Vitamin K2 keeps calcium out of
the arteries & puts it into the bones.
Vitamin D does NOT work without
magnesium and vitamin K2!
