PB, welcome back to the Fearless Podcast,

brother.

How you doing today?

Hey, what's going on, man?

I'm doing good.

Yeah, so this is Tenth Time is the Charm,

y'all.

We recorded this probably

almost a month ago,

and we had some technical difficulties,

and now we're using a different service,

and we've been back and forth,

but we're working now,

and this is the day in the

life of a podcaster,

working with all the technological demons,

and this is why we don't want, you know,

a technocracy, and we don't want, like,

AI...

running anything because at

our best it's it's not good

so uh yeah welcome back

pete let's open up and how

about you kind of introduce

yourself kind of give us a

little bit of your

background when it comes to

food and ideas on food and

all that good stuff and uh

I'll turn the floor over to you

okay so uh my name is pete I

have a youtube channel pp

east east texas

homesteading although we

don't do much homesteading

that much anymore uh

because my life has changed

dramatically my wife and I

um we came from a vegan

vegetarian background

because we were doing it to

be healthy and um

didn't work out so good for us.

We were constantly sick,

always trying to figure out

what was wrong with us.

Cupboard full of supplements

because we're deficient in everything.

And we've been homesteading for, since,

growing our own fresh

fruits and vegetables and

trying to eat healthy.

and always sick,

and I was suffering from

all types of chronic issues,

from IBS symptoms, I had rashes,

eczema on my skin a lot,

heart palpitations, PVCs,

that's when your heart skips beats.

Constantly dealing with that

was driving me crazy.

Brain fog, allergies, joint pains,

air hunger,

where you feel like you just

can't get enough air all the time.

Depression was just, I mean, it was bad.

My wife and I,

our relationship suffered a

lot because she had PMS

symptoms beyond belief.

And I felt sorry for her

because they were bad, really bad.

My depression was bad too.

Anxious, worried about everything.

I mean, I mean,

I would never commit suicide,

but those thoughts were

running through my head.

What if, you know, over stupid stuff,

you know, it's like craziness,

high blood pressure, high insulin,

you know, while gaining weight.

And it was driving me crazy.

And I got to the point one

day that I got on my knees and I said,

Lord, if you're not going to

heal me, in which I thought,

why would he heal me now thinking back?

Why would he heal me if I'm

going to continue down the

same path and still get

sick again because I was malnourished?

But if you're not going to heal me,

show me what I need to do

to fix all the problems that I had.

The next day,

or if it wasn't the same evening,

on my YouTube feed,

I started seeing carnivore

popping up on my feed.

And I've heard about carnivore before,

but I didn't think much of it.

And I thought, well, the carnivore,

you know, that's not that's not healthy.

I thought because vegan was the best,

healthiest way, I thought.

But anyway,

I started seeing all these

carnivore videos.

I said, you know, it looked interesting.

Let me check it out.

I started hearing about all

these testimonials of

people getting better from this, this,

and that.

And I'm like, that sounds like me.

I got this.

Yeah, I got that too, you know.

And I'm suffering from this.

So I tried it.

So I went keto.

Some meat and some vegetables.

And I tried that for a

better part of a week.

And then I started turning more keto-vore.

And then within a couple of weeks,

a few weeks, I went full-blown carnivore.

And I am not kidding you.

I just felt like a new person.

My brain lit up and I was like, whoa,

this is awesome.

I felt calm.

My chest wasn't pounding all

over the place.

I used to have a lot of

pounding heart too.

My PVC started going away.

All the issues that I had, the joint pain,

the IBS, all that all started going away.

And I started feeling like a new person.

and I haven't looked back

man I it's been eleven

months that I've been

carnivore and like I said

our lives my wife

completely her all her pms

symptoms went away she's

calm she's not anxious

anymore about nothing I

don't worry and stress out

about anything if something

happens I'm like well you

know I'll deal with it

whatever or before I was

like oh life has ended you know i

Now it's just calm, I'm relaxed.

My wife and I get along wonderfully.

It's just,

I couldn't have asked for anything better,

really.

Yeah.

What's,

what's so interesting to me about

all of this and this topic

and specifically you is

there's so much similarities between us.

It's kind of uncanny from

the sense that we relocated here.

We relocated to Texas in fourteen.

We started homesteading in fifteen.

Uh,

we decided to do that because we were

very conscious of the broken food system.

And we knew that we had to

actively participate.

We knew we wanted to grow our own food.

We wanted to know what we ate.

We wanted to know what our food ate,

you know, and all these different things.

And we were on the exact

same path doing the exact same thing.

My wife from reading had lots of thyroid,

had lots of different health issues.

I had lots of severe thyroid

issues and so we started

reading all these books, AD-Ten-Ten,

Daniel Graham, The China Study,

all these other pro-vegetarian,

vegan books,

a Gerson therapy and a lot of

it and we were reading all this,

consuming all this propaganda.

completely plant-based for several years.

I had been different.

I had tried different things

like fruititarian because

she was eating mostly plant-based.

I was eating the same stuff

and we kept lamenting the same thing like

Why?

Why are we always sick?

Why do we not feel good?

Why do we not have energy?

I mean,

we are in the top ten percent as

far as being active with

our food and trying to grow

our own food and and being

cognizant of what we put in our mouth,

reading the labels,

doing all the things that

you're supposedly supposed to do.

Why are we sick all the time?

Why don't we feel good?

You know, unbeknownst to me,

I developed this incredibly

debilitating arthritic

condition in my shoulder.

And then, you know,

after it was far too late,

found out that I had

encapsulated arthritis in

my left shoulder,

had lost about thirty to

forty percent of my labrum.

And it had it had literally

made me bedridden with the pain.

Hadn't slept more than a couple hours in,

like, without exaggeration, seven years.

Hadn't slept.

And continued to try to work.

And I got put...

literally on my back in bed

and went to the orthopedic surgeon.

And he was like, you know,

I went to four orthopedic

surgeons and they're like, you know, uh,

you need a new shoulder, man.

You're at the time I was what,

you need a new shoulder.

And, uh, I'm like,

that's not going to work.

I'm too young for that.

And I watched all the videos

of the process and how the

whole thing works.

And I'm like, yeah, I,

I don't want to participate in that.

I'm not doing that.

And that's what kind of

forced us this direction, you know,

and my wife.

she started same exact thing

these these videos started

coming up in our youtube

feed and it was another it

was another homesteader it

was carry man homestead how

and uh he starts telling

his story sharing his story

and she was like wow yeah

we got that stuff going on

and that stuff and he's

doing the same thing as us

and he's suffering you know and uh

That's why it's so important

to capture these stories,

to tell the story and to share.

I have a I have a great

friend of about twenty

years and a couple of years ago.

He called me, he's like, man,

I got this autoimmune

condition and it's irreversible.

My body shutting down.

Um,

they're putting me on all this like

chemo to suppress my immune system,

you know?

And, um,

and this was before I went

carnivore and I'm like, man,

I'll be praying for you and

all this stuff.

Well,

he just reached out to me two days

ago and he was like, Hey man, you know,

I need you to be praying for me.

He was like,

my doc wants to put me on this crazy.

uh,

arthritis medication where it's the shot,

you know,

that continues to suppress your

immune system even worse.

No.

And I said, I said, listen, man, I'm like,

you tried all that stuff.

You're suffering.

You've been suffering for years now.

Give carnivore a try.

I'm like, what's it going to,

what's it going to hurt you?

I'm like, at a minimum,

you'll receive all the

benefits of whatever this

supposed medication is going to give you.

And it might actually

reverse all these problems

you know and I mean that's

why I wanted to have you on

and then as providence had

it I think it was like two

days ago you just did a an

excellently very well done

video of these deluded

vegans and vegetarians and

the visual uh the very

scary correlating videos

that clearly demonstrate visually

what these people are doing

to themselves and you were

watching them have like

psychotic breakdowns and

different things.

And, um, the, this,

this diet and all of this

scientism and propaganda

and low Melinda and blue

zones and all these talking

points that have kind of

like been foundational with

vegetarianism and veganism.

Um,

it's just making people sicker and sicker,

more malnourished, um,

psychologically unstable.

We want to know.

We want to know, you know,

part of what's happened to our country.

They have deconstructed

Western civilization and

they've unpinned us from

our moorings and just what

absolute truth is.

But what's exacerbating that

problem is people are mentally ill.

And it's because they're malnourished.

It's because they're low fat, no fat.

They're starving their brain

and they're suffering the consequences of

metabolic syndrome and

malnourishment and people

are losing it and people

are hopeless people are

having these homicidal

ideations and all these

different things and how

crazy what what's so

incredible the carnivore

diet is the simplest

thing change you can make

and within three to four

weeks you have like

transformative results and

it doesn't require Pfizer

it doesn't require big

pharma it doesn't require

any you don't have to trust

the science all you have to do is try it

implement it you know and

and tweak it to make it fit

you everybody's not the

same everybody hasn't

experienced the same amount

of pollution everybody

hasn't had the same vaccine

schedule we're all

different ages man we've

all experienced we all live

in different places but

this protocol works for

everybody that tries it you

know for the last fifty years at least

We've been told that butter was bad,

cholesterol is bad, meat is bad,

fat is bad.

All those things are extremely,

now we know that these

things are very beneficial.

So when people, fifty years ago,

I remember my parents

buying margarine back in the seventies,

you know, because butter is bad,

it's bad for you.

I remember all this stuff.

I remember my dad's doctor telling my dad,

you can't have salt because

you got high blood pressure.

Your body nervous system runs on that.

But yeah,

we were told that all this stuff is bad.

So everybody switched over

to eating fruits and

vegetables and or cakes and

carbohydrates and donuts

and whatever cereal grains and all bread,

pasta.

So we can't eat meat.

We have to eat our grains

now and our vegetables,

which we know now that all

this stuff is making

everybody sick and miserable.

Nobody since fifty years ago

has gotten any healthier.

Everybody's continued on

this path of getting worse

and worse and worse.

And now we got all kinds of

diseases that we never even heard of.

years ago.

But it's all because

everybody abandoned the

meat and the butter and the whole milk.

And, you know, we even now,

everybody's afraid of,

everybody has to go skim milk, low fat,

no fat milk.

And it's insanity.

And everybody's buying this hook, line,

and sinker.

And everybody's going low fat, no fat,

no meat, no nothing.

And everybody's frail.

overweight, fat, diabetic,

suffering with all kinds of diseases,

schizophrenia, dementia, you know,

you name it, bipolarism, all this.

These are some of the

illnesses that carnivore cures.

It's depression, schizophrenia,

Alzheimer's, dementia, type two diabetes,

heart disease, osteoporosis, osteopenia,

uh pernicious anemia uh

bipolar even cancer these

are all caused by a high

grain uh not to mention all

the chemicals that are in

the wheat and stuff and

people just don't get it I

I didn't get it until just

recently you know a year

ago and a lot of people say

oh there's no way that

carnivore can fix everything you know

Yes,

it can because we're eliminating all

the junk,

all the inflammatory foods like

fruits and vegetables and

the grains and the seed oils.

Avoiding all that,

your body can finally say, thank you,

I don't need that junk anymore,

inflaming the body.

And now the body can start healing.

So when people say,

can carnivore really fix everything?

Yes, it can.

It can fix everything

because you're eliminating

all the stuff that inflaming your body,

everything.

Yeah.

And then another thing that

there is a ton of science

behind is ketones and ketosis.

And there has been I mean,

there's studies that are

over a hundred years old on this.

And this is a proven method to heal.

Yeah, we absolutely know, you know,

and all carnivore is is an

extreme method.

uh an extreme state of

ketosis that absolutely

works and by adding the

meat and the fat you create

a completely satiated state

where you can't have the

cravings because you're

full and you're satisfied

and then because the fact

that you start to feel

better and you have

elevated serotonin levels

and you feel better and you

can move better and you can sleep better

I've said this for ten years.

Most people don't do well

because they don't feel well.

You know,

most people fly off the handle is

it's because it's the straw

that broke the camel's back.

I didn't sleep last night.

I'm in constant pain.

Oh, I hurt.

I can't think clearly.

Right.

And then this minor little thing happens,

like maybe one of your

children do something that

children do like and you're

like freaking out and losing it.

And it's all because

like you're in this like

completely deprived state

and you're in pain and

you're sleep deprived and

this one little speck of

dust lands on the top of

the hay pile and everything

breaks and snaps and you

know that that's this

that's the state of our

culture today is like you

know everybody's on pins

and needles absolutely

absolutely I when I was vegetarian

Uh, we'd eat my, my wife would, you know,

finish eating dinner stuffed.

I was full.

I couldn't eat another bite

within an hour.

I'd be looking in the cupboard for snacks,

chips, uh, some, uh, uh,

corn chips or something to

eat because I just had to eat, you know,

I w I was full,

but I felt like I had to

snack on something.

And, uh,

my blood sugar of course was all

over the place.

I remember working in the garden.

And within a couple hours of eating lunch,

you know,

I'd be like shaking and I'd go

in the house.

My hands are shaking and I'm

all feeling weird and stuff.

I'm like, honey,

my blood sugar is dropping.

I got to grab something to eat.

So I eat chips.

I eat dried figs or dates or

something like that.

Dried fruit, too.

And then, you know,

my blood pressure would skyrocket.

My blood sugar would skyrocket.

And then I feel better.

And then within an hour,

I started the same thing

back up and down.

And my mood was all over the place.

And my gut was, you know,

I was getting that big spare tire.

And you can't, it's not sustainable.

You can't do that all the time.

Eating that,

eating a high carb diet is

going to destroy and destroy your health.

We know now.

And I said that people were

saying for fifty years that

cholesterol is bad.

Everything, you know,

fat's bad and meat's bad.

What's killing people is the high sugar,

high carbohydrate, all grains,

all this stuff.

We've been fed a bunch of

lies for all these years.

And people just took it in hook,

line and sinker.

And like I said,

we haven't gotten any better.

But we go carnivore,

and all these problems just disappear.

And a lot of people don't believe it,

but you have to try it.

Well, let me ask you a question.

Okay,

so you did all the vegan

vegetarianism stuff, right, for a decade,

right?

This is what's fascinating.

So you did all that for a

decade and you thought you

were doing the right thing.

You thought you were helping

yourself and improving yourself.

You thought you were like

saving the planet.

Eighteen years.

I did it for eighteen years.

Eighteen years.

Right.

And you developed all these issues.

So what?

So you've been a carnivore

eleven months now.

yep so okay yeah did all

this great stuff for you

but pete be honest like

what negative effects have

you had from carnivore I

mean you're eleven months

in um have you have you

developed any scurvy yet oh

no okay has your has your

arteries clogged shut yet

or no I had blood tests

done my cholesterol is good

everything's good

so so so you've been doing

this for an eleven months

and the only things that

you've experienced have

been positive health

improvements I just went to

the my wife and I went to

the dentist yesterday to

get our teeth cleaned and

Prior to that,

every time we get our teeth cleaned,

they would always find, oh,

you're getting a cavity here.

Oh, you're getting a cavity there.

Oh, we need to fix this.

We need to fix that.

My teeth were always sensitive,

all the time sensitive.

I'd brush in certain areas

and it'd be like,

if I even touched it with the brush,

it would like a knife going

up into your mouth.

It was so sensitive.

It was like an open nerve.

And I noticed it used to fluctuate.

It would last for like a week or so,

that pain.

And then it would go away

for a week or two.

And then it would come back again.

So on and off, on and off.

I went carnivore.

Oh,

and then my teeth used to hurt when I

chew, too.

Just the pressure of the food,

it would hurt.

Weird.

But anyways, I went carnivore.

And I noticed my teeth getting tighter.

I noticed that pain just went away.

I didn't have that pain anymore.

I would brush and it

wouldn't hurt anymore.

And I'm like, okay,

this is probably just temporary thing.

The pain usually comes back.

Months and months and months go by,

nothing.

I have not had any more pain in my teeth.

I had my teeth cleaned.

No anesthesia, none of this numbing stuff,

nothing.

Didn't hurt one bit.

So a high carb diet,

fruits and vegetables destroy your teeth.

I even heard of people

saying they have friends

that were fruitarians and

raw vegans and stuff,

that their teeth falling out because

I don't know the science behind it,

but the nutrition needed to

hold all this together is weakening.

So, yeah, being on a carnivore diet,

and I've heard lots of

stories about carnivores

saying that their teeth feel tight,

you don't get that bad odor

when you wake up in the

morning or anything like that.

It's honestly blowing me

away how incredibly simple

This diet is just to be healthy,

just to eat meat.

Yeah.

So we're so we're a family of eight.

Right.

And we're doing all the good

things and we're not eating

processed sugar, you know,

and we're brushing and we're flossing.

And over the last before carnivore,

we would all go to the

dentist every year.

Many of my children and we

don't drink soda.

We don't drink fruit juice.

Right.

every year, my kids,

my one son has had

thousands and thousands of

dollars worth of dentistry

work done every year, every year.

Um, my,

all my children had teeth issues

and cavities and all this stuff.

Um,

my wife has had extensive

dentistry done I have a

mouth full of fillings

right and so we've been so

every year we would easily

spend between four and five

thousand dollars in dentistry bills

mm-hmm and almost two years

carnivore I have not spent

a dollar at the dentist in

the last two years and it

you know this is I want to

drive this point home

because oh this is

expensive how do you do it and well I

right now I have an extra

five thousand dollars a

year not paying it to a

dentist and him like

destroying my mouth and

putting who knows what in

there and all this stuff

that's going to have to be

maintained that's going to

create future expense down

the road now I have an

extra five thousand dollars

that I can spend on food

just in one fiscal year and you know

carnivore is incredibly

inexpensive in the grand

scheme of things.

When you cut out the Starbucks,

when you cut out the

organic potato chips that are, uh,

that are cooked in avocado

oil and organic sugar.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You, when you cut all that out,

you have so, and,

and you're eating maybe two meals a day,

uh,

and you're not hungry uh I

eat one meal a day almost

always I eat one meal a day

I eat two pounds uh two two

and a half pounds of meat

maybe two pounds of meat

half pound of fat something

like that and um I'm good

to go and I can demonstrate

that those costs are

substantially less than

what we were paying oh I

agree because like I said I

used to eat dinner stuffed

And then I'd want a snack an hour later.

Now I eat my lunch.

I'll usually have a pound of

ground beef or at least a

pound of beef and a quarter

stick of butter.

I love munching on grass-fed butter.

It's like my dessert, you know.

So I eat that and I don't snack anymore.

I have no need for snack.

I have no urge for snacking.

Dinner comes.

Oh, well, we'll eat maybe some drumsticks,

chicken or chicken thighs.

Or we'll eat more beef, you know,

or I'll have a ribeye or whatever.

And then at night, you know,

I used to get these urge, oh, before bed,

oh, gosh,

I got to have lunch on something.

I'm getting this urge to eat.

Not anymore.

Because when your body is

not running on carbs,

you don't have that up and

down insulin fluctuation going on.

Like you said, your body runs on ketones.

The muscles don't require

insulin to bring those

ketones into your muscles.

They just go right in.

And you get energy from your

fat cells and from burning fat.

I have basically zero carbs.

I don't eat any carbs.

Your body makes, they say,

up to four grams or

something like that of

carbs through gluconeogenesis.

Your liver produces whatever

it needs from protein or fats, you know.

And

Dude, I work out.

I work out four days a week

with heavy weights,

and I have no need for carbs.

My body doesn't even crave carbs.

So when people say, well,

you need some carbs.

Now, if you're an athlete, I'd say,

you know, have some carbs, a little bit.

But the average person,

even just working out a little bit,

you don't need carbs.

Your body produces everything it needs,

everything.

Now,

you have a ton of cool stuff on your

channel and you got some

hacks and you've been experimenting.

I know one really good tip

that you put out there was

about boron and cramps.

Oh, yeah.

Cramping was an issue I had.

I implemented the boron and

then I was still kind of having issues.

So I upped.

the milligrams I take two

instead of one and I mean

problem solved um on the

cramping um I know another

one that you talked about

was l-reuteri and you know

this gut bacteria yeah yeah

with regarding sleep and

improving sleep I mean I

started experimenting with

that and I've had a lot of

improvements and and

positive impact there have

you so you're like eleven

months in four months ago I

started experimenting with

dry aging have you ever

have you ever tried that

like dry aging a steak no I

haven't actually um maybe

it's something I should try

doing yeah this is next

level so you can take

a chuck roast or a chuck steak, right?

And you get that super high fat content,

which is really good.

You know,

when you're eating like sirloins

and strip steak,

they don't have enough fat

to really make you feel optimal.

So you can do a chuck roast,

which fortunately is much less expensive.

You know,

even most places you can still

probably get that five,

six bucks a pound.

And then what I've been doing,

is I dry age it for three

days so I pre-season it I

salt it and then I put it

on a drying rack in the

fridge and um I I dry age

it for three days and then

I cook it in the air fryer

I cook it four minutes to a

side and uh it chris what

the dry aging also does is

it crisps the exterior so

when you air fry it the

the exterior is almost like a pan seared.

You get this crunchy

exterior and you get this

very medium rare center,

which is the way I like it.

And you don't have any of the, um,

the myoglobin so you know

what all the uneducated and

uninformed people think

that is actually blood and

oh I can't believe you're

eating that bloody steak

well if you do the dry age

it completely eliminates

that inner muscular fluid

you're going to get that

crispy exterior and and

it's going to be it's going

to be so tender um

You definitely have to give it a whirl.

Now, the only thing is,

is if you try and start doing it,

you'll probably have to dry

age every steak you eat from now on.

Because, I mean, it's that good.

It's that much.

Try that.

Because when we eat the chuck roast,

because, I mean,

if you just cook it like on

a grill or whatever,

it's like eating shoe leather.

Yep.

Yeah, it's terrible.

Or we put it in a crock pot.

Crock pot.

In an instant pot for like

forty minutes and yeah,

you can cut it with a fork, man.

It's so tender.

But I still like the steak on the grill.

I like that kind of taste.

But if you're telling me I

can get this and put it in

an air fryer and make it be

fairly tender...

then uh hey I'm gonna try

that yeah you need to try

it I mean and the air fryer

is so convenient and then

when you can get this very

cheap piece of meat to just

be that much better and I

mean no extra cost just a

little extra prep a little

extra time I mean it's it's

next level I I think you're

gonna love it I'm gonna

yeah I'm gonna try that try

it out very good

so any other okay you're

eleven months in any other

hacks any other things that

you've noticed or or tweaks

uh that you want to talk

about any recommendations

this is not something I I

would enjoy talking about

but there's a lot of people

suffering from toenail fungus okay yeah

Now, what does fungus, first of all, want?

It wants carbohydrates.

It wants sugar.

It wants glucose.

So this was just a surprise to me.

I had my pinky toes that had

bad fungus on them,

and my big toes had toenail

fungus on them.

I had it for years, for like twenty years.

And I tried everything, all the treatments,

all this garbage, and it's all junk.

Don't even waste your time

with that stuff.

The toenail fungus,

any kind of fungus is

coming from internally.

It's our diet.

So what was it, a week or so ago?

I noticed my pinkies looked normal.

I was like, what?

I mean, they were all.

you know,

like yellowed and crispy looking

and stuff.

When I cut them down,

they cut them down to nothing, basically.

I look at them and they were

looking normal, completely pink,

beautiful.

I'm like, honey, look, look.

Look at my toes.

And my big toes,

they were getting pink again.

Instead of the yellow, you know, fungus,

typical nail looking, they were getting,

they're all pink now again.

And I'm like,

this is incredible because

now it all makes sense.

Get rid of the carbs,

get rid of all the sugar

and just eat a extreme ketogenic diet,

which is carnivore.

You're not feeding that fungus anymore.

And voila, it's gone.

Yeah, and your body can heal.

And what I find even more incredible,

the further we go down this

ketogenic path and your

body has time to heal, here you are,

you're eleven months in,

and you had this persistent

issue and it's just going

away and you know that's

the other thing I want to

encourage people you know

it took it took us a

lifetime of food abuse

abusing our bodies and our

systems to degenerate to a

state where it's like hey I

can't do this anymore like

And it's going to take a

while for your body to heal, you know?

Oh, absolutely.

So you'll, I continue almost two years in,

I continue to see

improvement in different

areas that I just, for one,

you've dealt with it so long.

You didn't even look at it

really as a problem.

You're just like, oh, well, you know,

you get old and this is what happens.

You know, this is just what happens.

This is part of the process.

But the reality is, is,

you feed your body what it

needs and you starve it

from the poisons and all

the stuff that it doesn't needs and,

and all the things that,

that reinforce the food addiction,

your body has time to heal

and you will continue to improve.

And, uh, what's crazy is like,

you can see my,

my beard's kind of gray here and,

and it's great a lot, but I had, um,

I had very,

this was getting really gray

like three or four years ago.

And most of my gray up top

has like reversed.

It's went away,

which is really bizarre to me.

But like even my hair is getting younger,

so to speak.

You know what I mean?

It's like, it's pretty long.

You know, absolutely.

I mean, I'm in my sixties, you know,

my forehead's receded.

That's normal.

That's genetics.

But when was it in two

thousand ten or eleven or

something like that?

My my wife at that time,

she used to tell me that I

was getting a bald spot back here,

you know,

and I had a little bit longer hair then.

And I was basically getting

a bald spot back here.

And now, yeah, my hair is thinning,

of course, but that bald spot,

it's not there anymore.

It's consistent.

Whatever I have here is the

same back here.

I just keep it short now

because I don't have the

hair that I used to have, obviously,

but your hair will improve.

And like you were saying,

when you give your body the

nutrition it needs,

things start going back to

normal the way it's supposed to be,

you know?

Yeah,

and another thing when it comes to cost,

and nobody ever calculates this cost.

No one calculates this cost

into their food consumption.

But everybody has been sold

on this idea of supplements.

And obviously,

I take four or five different things.

I take boron.

I take some cow mag.

I take some selenium.

I take selenium because I

supplement with iodine.

I do a Brownstein protocol.

So it's high iodine.

I used it to heal my thyroid

because I had

hypothyroidism my whole life.

and took armor thyroid and

all that stuff and uh using

the brown seam protocol uh

that went away so I do take

some selenium um

I take the exact same stuff.

Exactly.

That's it.

I don't take, you know,

before I took all the stuff

and I took the newest thing

for whatever my new ailment was, you know,

like a red krill oil or whatever,

you know what I mean?

Or, or a blue algae, you know, they,

they come out with all this stuff,

you know what I mean?

Super, super food.

yeah all the superfoods and

no longer buying two to

three hundred dollars a

month in supplements you

know or if not more yeah

which gives me more

resources to just buy real

food and eat once a day and

uh you know our our food

costs continue to go down

you know especially uh I

mean if you're not if you

don't have a super active

lifestyle if you're not

working out constantly or

you know really super active

One meal a day is perfect

because you're getting all

the nutrition it needs.

You're getting all the

nutrition you need in one meal,

especially the ruminant meats.

But then you're letting your

intestines rest all that time.

Your body's rebuilding.

Fasting, I believe in fasting.

I think it's very good for you.

If you do a day up to three-day fast,

your body heals.

It takes that time off from

digesting all that food and

starts repairing,

getting rid of all that

dead cells in your body,

converting them into new

amino acids and rebuilding your body.

and uh yeah one meal a day

is really good I I work out

so I can't I'm doing two

meals a day yeah yeah and I

mean we're as christians

we're commanded to fast you

know and how awesome is it

that not only can we do

that for spiritual reasons

but you get all these

physical benefits I sleep

the best when I'm fasting and

And I sleep so good when I'm fasting.

The longest I'll do is like

a three day fast.

And I'm like, man,

I'm going to eat and I'll feel good,

but I know I won't sleep as good tonight.

I'm like, man,

I would just like to keep fasting.

But the fasting is so beneficial.

for all for physical mental

spiritual reasons you talk

about ketosis yeah and

you're getting this hyper

elevated state of ketosis

where you know you get like

a sense of well-being and

yeah and it becomes so

interesting because you're

like wow now you know why

god commanded us to do it because it

not only does it improve our

spiritual life and our,

our walk and communication with him,

but there's health benefits to it.

You know, that, uh, is just unbelievable.

I mean, if you,

if you haven't tried fasting and, uh, I,

I, I still haven't done the,

the dry fasting yet.

I haven't done a dry fast.

Um, just, no, I, I, I don't,

I don't agree with dry fasting.

I mean, people can do whatever they want,

but,

The body needs liquid to

remove stuff and get things

out of your kidneys,

need to work to get the

stuff your body's trying to get out.

But that's up to the individual.

I wouldn't do very long dry fast,

but fasting is very beneficial.

Now, like you said,

from a Christian perspective,

I know this carnivore,

They always talk about

there's a lot of

evolutionists in the carnivore field.

They always talk about we've

been eating this for

millions and millions and

billions of years or whatever.

And nobody's talking about

it from a Christian perspective.

There's a lot of Christians

going into carnivore.

And a lot of Christians

point out Genesis one

twenty nine where it says, you know,

I have given you all the

herbs or the fruits and vegetables,

basically all the fruits

and vegetables for you.

It should be food.

Um, that was, that was very true,

but that was before man sinned.

That was in the garden of Eden.

We no longer live in that day.

Uh, that was before sin.

We live after sin.

God cursed the ground.

Uh,

everything went wild thorns and thistles.

And, uh, that was the pre flood era.

Uh, after the flood, God provided, uh,

meat for us to eat because he knew

Things are not the same anymore.

Things are totally different.

These people lived much longer than we do.

They were much bigger than us.

Everything was bigger back then.

You can look in the dinosaurs.

You can look at all the...

They used to have, in those days,

dragonflies with a four-foot wingspan.

The exact same one today, but today,

ours are three,

four inches or whatever it is.

Yeah, I had Pastor Jimmy Pruitt on,

and we talked about this

exact topic as it relates to Christian,

and that was the same thing.

That's why I asked him to come on.

I'm like, because in this space,

there aren't a lot of

people talking about it

from a Christian perspective.

We talked about exactly the

exact same thing.

He mentioned the exact same points,

and here we are.

I think that was...

a couple,

three or four thousand years ago.

And now we're that much

further into the future

with all these processes and all of this,

everything's processed and

there's stuff coming out of

the sky that people are

putting in there that's

going on everything and into our food.

And there's all of this

other stuff that we need to

combat and we need to heal from.

And what is so incredible,

God in his sovereignty and providence,

he created this ruminant

animal with three stomachs, right?

Four.

Four stomachs.

Yeah, four stomachs.

And he created a process,

like even according to the

Texas A&M study that they did,

they fed cows hay sprayed

with glyphosate.

Okay.

And according to their study, uh,

they did a genetic test and everything.

And they claim, according to their study,

that that glyphosate does

not pass to the meat that

through the rumination

process and through the

fermentation process, they, and you know,

if you, if you, uh, you're,

you're into permaculture

and different things,

we're in that homestead space.

um they're also finding that

in this um composting

process right so when we

compost stuff they're

finding my buddy uh billy

bond at perma pasture farms

he's doing a soil

reclamation from all the

toxic stuff that happened

with uh the stuff in north

carolina and he's doing a reclamation

And they're able to extract

forever chemicals from the

soil doing this composting.

And when you think about the

same processes in that

compost pile with the biome

and the heat and everything,

it's the exact same process

that's going on in these

cows' stomachs that was

designed and created that way.

You know, where...

Cows will can go and be and

live on land that's

unfarmable from a from an

agricultural standpoint.

This is all land that is,

for lack of a better word, unusable.

They can go out there.

They can mow the grass for us.

They can take that grass.

They can turn it into the most nutritious,

nutrient dense, beneficial, healthy food.

And then we can take that

meat and eat it and feel better.

The cow, the, the,

the way that the gut in the

cow is designed, it is incredible.

What these bacteria is mind

blowing what they do.

They eat the grass.

People always say,

where do cows get their protein from?

Well,

they're not getting it from the grass.

This is what blew me away.

The bacteria is so incredibly powerful.

Now,

the bacteria is on the grass that they

eat and on the ground, right?

Their lips are pulling this

grass off and they're eating it.

They're pulling all the

bacteria too with it.

Goes into their chamber, the first chamber,

and it starts fermenting.

Then they bring it up,

they start chewing the cud,

and re-chew it again,

and it goes into their chamber.

The bacteria ferment this stuff so much,

and it extracts all the fatty acids.

They produce fatty acids

from the grass that they eat.

All the phytonutrients that the grass has,

the bacteria convert

whatever nutrients that are

in there into whatever the cow needs.

And at the end of the process,

the bacteria die.

A lot of it die.

The stomach digests it and

uses the bacteria as protein.

Isn't that incredible?

Yeah.

Not only do they feed the

cow and everything,

all the nutrients they need,

then they die and give the

cow the protein they need

to go into their muscle tissue.

Then we eat it.

And we get all the fatty acids,

the protein,

the phytonutrients from plants,

all that stuff, all the vitamins,

vitamin C even, goes into our body.

And we benefit from it.

I mean, to me,

beef and lamb is the most

perfect food for us.

It's it's mind blowing.

It really is.

And I didn't we didn't know that.

It's almost it's almost

incredibly hard to argue

that it wasn't

intentionally designed that way.

I think if you statistically

crunched the probability numbers on that,

it would

obviously be in the factors

of trillions of the odds

that some cosmic soup accident.

Just looking at the eye,

the way the lens focuses,

the way the light goes back there,

the nerves pick up the

light and transfer and turn

it into an image in your brain.

Why do we have teeth?

Why don't we have a digestive system?

You know, you look at your arm,

you look at all these

tendons and ligaments and

from, you know,

from cells joining together into the egg,

all the DNA information is

there to tell how big the

bone is going to be,

where the muscle tissue is

going to connect,

where the tendons and

ligaments all connect,

where to connect the

ligaments turn into muscles

and back into ligaments and

how it goes to each finger and

Alchemy, come on.

That's not design.

Yeah.

The heart, the immune system,

the nervous system, the blood,

the cardiovascular system, feeding...

I mean, that just didn't happen.

I mean, come on.

Yeah, it's impossible.

You know,

Darwin lamented about that in his

incredibly racist book

about favored races and all that stuff.

And he lamented the fact

that the I could not evolve

and he couldn't.

make up some kind of a liar

excuse to make that work

but I mean what are these

animals you know an animal

form that's like oh you

know we can't see so we're

gonna have to develop eyes

we're bumping into

everything I mean come on yeah

Pete,

this has been just another killer

conversation.

Always love having you on.

We will definitely do this again.

Yeah, I'd like to.

One thing I'm going to do is

I'm going to link your most

recent video down below.

I think that's a perfect resource.

If you want to kind of open

somebody's eyes and visibly

demonstrate to them the –

the problems with these

vegan vegetarian ideas and

what it's actually doing to

people and the psychosis

that it is creating.

Uh, video is very well done, poignant, uh,

nice and brief, great,

a great resource to share.

So I'm going to link that down below.

Um, in closing, is there any,

anything you want to say in

closing and leave the listeners with?

If you're dealing with any issues,

if you have friends that

are vegans or vegetarians or whatever,

plant-based,

Show them.

There's a million and one

carnivore videos now on YouTube.

Thousands and thousands of testimonials.

Show them these things.

If they're dealing with health issues,

show them the carnivore diet.

They don't have to go full carnivore.

They can go keto or keto-vore,

meat and some vegetables.

But if we don't stick with whole food,

you're going to get sick.

If your food has got a label,

ingredients label,

you're going to get sick eventually.

Eat whole food, and to me,

the best one is ruminant meat,

beef and lamb, number one.

Paul, this one's for you, buddy.

I love you, man.

You can do it, so I know you're listening,

so you can do it, brother.

You need it, and it's going to help you.

In closing, I do want to let you all know,

if you are local to the

Northeast Texas area,

I think we at least have a

half a cow available,

so hit us up at thetexasboys.com.

or shoot us an email because

that's going to be coming available soon.

I think it's hanging at the

processor right now.

That'll be available within a month.

If you're interested and

looking for some high quality beef,

we want to share and check

us out over there.

Also, check out our new lines.

We have a new tallow line.

We have a new tallow

skincare line with an

absolutely incredible tallow deodorant.

that my son's uh wife has

developed and it is it's

really good stuff and we

love and appreciate y'all

thanks for watching we'll

see you on the next video have a good one
