Red pill or blue pill?
How To “Red-Pill” Your Friends & Family About Radical Health Radical Health Newsletter #142 You know that scene in The Matrix where Neo takes the red pill... and his whole reality shifts? That's what discovering this whole radical health thing feels like. And just like Morpheus, you probably want to offer that same "red pill moment" to everyone you care about. When your friend tries animal-based But here's the thing... Nobody likes being preached to about their food choices. (Especially by that crazy friend who won't shut up about seed oils 😅) And we get it - you’ve found something that changed your life. You feel better than you have in years, and it’s only natural to want the same for the people you love. But when they look at you standing barefoot in the sun, drinking raw milk and eating organs… they just see ‘that person.’ You know the type… the one who brings their own butter to restaurants. Who says things like “circadian rhythm” in casual conversation. Who gets more excited about cast-iron pans than the latest Netflix show. Yeah, that might be us. So here's how to actually wake people up: #1 LET THEM NOTICE Don't say a word. Let your 2pm energy do the talking. Be suspiciously happy during winter. Wait for the "You look different..." comments = Priceless #2 PLANT TINY SEEDS "Just made some simple changes..." Did you know that avoiding the sun is about as likely to kill you as smoking cigarettes? (share this study with them) (The curious ones will bite) #3 SHARE RESULTS, NOT LECTURES Your performance in the gym Your pharmaceutical-free life Be that annoying person who actually enjoys Monday mornings #4 DROP TRUTH BOMBS CASUALLY Isn’t it weird how the doctor said my autoimmune condition could never be cured, but then it completely went away when I changed my diet? Strange how our great-grandparents cooked meat and organs in tallow but had no heart-disease… Did you hear about the study in the BMJ that found exercise was 1.5x more effective at treating depression, anxiety and stress than medications? Pretty wild! #5 LET THEM CONNECT DOTS Share one of our newsletters (this is a good one for newbies) Show your bloodwork Make them question why you never get hangry anymore #6 GUIDE, DON'T PUSH Make it about THEM feeling good, not YOU being right Start them small (Pure American Liver is a lot easier to start with than raw liver 😂) Remember: You were once skeptical too We don’t win people over with arguments. We win them with curiosity. With energy that won’t quit. With overflowing grocery carts full of raw milk and grass-fed butter. We show them that this “crazy” lifestyle works - because we live it. The system spent billions programming people. Don't expect to undo it in one conversation. Just plant seeds. Water them with results. Be patient and watch what happens. To you (and your loved ones) radical health, Heart & Soil Paul Saladino

More musings from my devotional
5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, 6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5, NASB) “Applying all diligence” indicates something we have to do. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God won’t do what we can. We cannot save or sanctify ourselves; God will not give us good habits or character. We have to develop habits and character on our own, working out the salvation God has worked in. This suggests we have to get into a habit. Habits are difficult to establish. To take the initiative is to make a beginning, to instruct yourself in the way you have to go. Oswald Chambers. Apply this same standard to your carnivore walk. Supply your diet with excellence in the foods you choose. Supply your mind with the knowledge to know what is excellent. This leads to self control, perseverance and a gentleness of mind that inspires kindness and the desire to help others. We all have these qualities in us and it shows around here in the people on this space. Oswald said it with great wisdom when he said “we cannot do what God does, and that God won’t do what we can. We cannot save or sanctify ourselves; God will not give us good habits or character. We have to develop habits and character on our own,”. This is our individual journey and no one can do it for us but we can support each other and grow together as we learn from each other.

My Two Year Carniversary
My son introduced me to carnivore after my fourth AFib attack landed me in the ICU. I was tired of living with a heart condition, Crohn’s disease, IBS and wracked with pain all of the time. I didn’t know that carnivore would fix all of those things but I just knew that something in my life needed to change. It’s been an amazing journey so far.

Struggling new carnivore
Spot on Scott. Welcome to Carnivore Talk Newbie. The thing I like to tell people when they are first considering becoming carnivores is to learn what it’s all about. Fully understand it before you fully commit to it. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Get Dr. Bakers book The Carnivore Diet. It will really help you get started and understand the ins and outs.

SPAM... in a can. Not the kind in your inbox
I used to love spam. Fried spam and eggs were a staple at deer camp growing up. A couple of cold slices on white bread was the norm while fishing. I will avoid it these days. That little bit of sugar and corn starch may not be that bad in the whole grand scheme of things but it does add up over time. A little bit here and a little bit there and before long I’m counting carbs again and wondering why my hands are locking up. But, as Dr. Berry says it’s still better than eating a bunch of carbs if that’s all you can afford or I would add on a road trip. I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it if that’s all I had.

Far ahead of his time.
Aldous Huxley was far ahead of his time; probably more than he even knew himself. Born in the late 1800s and living until the 1960s, he wrote the book "Brave New World" That showed how people could be enslaved and controlled by making a society that was so comfortable and devoid of meaning that they didn't even realize they were slaves in the first place. This insight, into modern medical science shows exactly what we have become, which is an institution of disease management, and as you can't manage diseases that don't exist, and managing those diseases is really big money, the design of the system is never to cure, and may even be rife with examples of making things worse. As Mr Huxley said this nearly 100 years ago, imagine what he would think of the world today? Unfortunately the incentive model is completely backwards, instead of rewarding people for curing diseases we are now rewarding people for maintaining those diseases, and even perpetuating those diseases, as the medications to make you feel more comfortable are so profitable, and they act as a tithe on the entire population who has to constantly pay a significant portion of their income to just try to make their medical issues bearable. Have you noticed the same thing in your medical care? What clinicians here have seen the same thing, and who is going to help Change the system back to what it used to be and is supposed to be?, below and let me know your thoughts. Anthony Chaffee

Probiotic Reuteri yogurt
I make my own yogurt but I haven’t tried to make L Reuteri yet. I’m struggling with spending the money to buy something in bulk that I will only be using once. I may still do it someday.

Any other hard-core Lions here?
We were all brainwashed like that at one time. Fortunately our minds opened up like a parachute before it was too late and we learned the truth. Some people will never accept the truth no matter what you tell them. The best defense is to have a good offense. Arm yourself with truth, knowledge and the facts. Be prepared to site the studies, direct them to the doctors and provide the proof that proves your case. This will give you more confidence and when you exhibit confidence it gives you more authority. When they babble with their jargon just ask them to site their studies or proof. Be prepared. There can be many reasons for this. I don’t know how long you’ve been a carnivore or how you eat so it could be a time thing or more than likely a hormonal thing or just an adaptation thing. As long as you are seeing results that’s what matters. Healing is primary and weight loss is secondary and usually happens in time.

Any other hard-core Lions here?
Welcome to Carnivore Talk Georgia. Glad you could join us I’m not Lion but all I eat is fat, protein, salt and water. I will have some cheese or yogurt occasionally and I do eat chicken and pork. Please don’t ever think that what you are doing is something negative. You have to follow your own path in this journey. Your unique circumstances have put you in this situation but many chose to do this just for general health. You are not alone. You are among like minded individuals here and no one will judge you for your choices. As carnivores, most of us give up things that most are not willing to give up and that makes us all unique in this lifestyle.
