The Relaxed Carnivore Diet: The Healthiest I've Ever Been, Despite the Hype Against Red Meat

I know some of you might disagree and believe your style of eating is the best—and maybe it works for you.

But hear me out.

This is about what’s been working for me, and I'm all about sharing what’s helping me feel stronger, healthier, and more energized at 71.

The relaxed carnivore diet has completely transformed my health.

I’m not talking about a temporary fix or a quick weight-loss trend. I’m talking about real, long-lasting health benefits that I feel every single day.

At 71, I feel better than I did in my 40s.

No aches, no pains, no stiffness.

I wake up feeling energized, strong, and ready to conquer the day.

And guess what? It’s all thanks to the power of red meat.

I know. It sounds crazy.

We're all conditioned to believe that red meat is bad for us.

The “big food” industry has vilified it for decades.

They’ve pushed their plant-based alternatives, their low-fat products, and their processed foods.

All while we’re told to avoid the very thing that’s been a staple of human diets for thousands of years.

But here’s the truth: Red meat is one of the healthiest things you can consume.

Studies are showing that the nutrients found in beef, lamb, and other animal products are not only essential for muscle health and energy, but they also support brain function, hormone balance, and even bone health.

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s science.

The problem is, the “big pharm” and “big food” industries have a vested interest in keeping us confused.

They make billions off processed food, medications, and diet fads. And they want us to believe that plant-based diets and synthetic substitutes are the answer.

But here’s the kicker: these alternatives can’t compete with the nutritional powerhouse that is red meat. Let’s talk about some hard facts.

The Nutrients You’re Missing

Red meat is packed with essential nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins—nutrients that are hard to get in adequate amounts from plants alone.

Iron from red meat is particularly important because it’s more easily absorbed by your body compared to plant-based iron.

Plus, red meat provides the building blocks for muscle, collagen, and hormones that keep you strong and youthful. You can’t get that from a salad.

Empirical Evidence on Red Meat’s Health Benefits

Numerous studies have shown that red meat doesn’t cause heart disease, cancer, or any of the other health issues they’ve been scaring us with.

In fact, red meat consumption has been linked to lower risks of certain deficiencies and better overall vitality.

It’s time we stop following the crowd and start listening to the data.

Red meat isn't the villain we’ve been taught to fear.

It's a crucial part of the human diet and plays a key role in keeping us healthy as we age.

So, Why the Negative Narrative?

Big food and big pharm aren’t looking out for your best interests.

They’re looking at the bottom line.

When we eat real, whole foods—like red meat—we’re not buying processed products or popping pills.

The pharmaceutical companies aren’t making money, and neither are the big food producers who profit off plant-based junk.

So, what do they do?

They launch campaigns to make you fear the foods that actually nourish your body.

Here’s What You Can Do

If you want to feel younger, stronger, and healthier, try cutting out the processed foods and embracing the carnivore diet—or at least a diet with more red meat.

Start small. Swap one of your meals for a big, juicy steak or a burger made from high-quality beef.

Notice how you feel.

You deserve to feel your best, and red meat is a key ingredient in that.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you disagree, that's fine—this is just my experience.

But I encourage you to look at the science and see for yourself.

Your health is worth the investment!

If you're wondering why your doctor tells you not to eat red meat or warns you about cholesterol, stay tuned. I’ve got an article coming soon to clear up the myths and share the real story.

Just a quick reminder—I’m not a doctor, so don’t consider this medical advice. Be sure to do your own research and consult with your healthcare team, before making any major changes to your diet.
