About this episode
Scott Putnam discusses his journey from a meat-centric diet to exploring plant-based options and the implications of our food choices.
Scott Putnam was a lifelong, self-described "happy carnivore"... until a doctor's visit, a life in China, and one unforgettable moment in a grocery store deli line changed everything. Now he's the author of Revenge of the Herds, and he's not here to convert you.In this conversation, you'll learn: Why processed meats are classified in the same carcinogen category as cigarettes and asbestos, and why there are no warning labels. What a 10-day plant-based study revealed that stunned the doctors running it. The one change Scott says makes the biggest noticeable difference, and it's not giving up meat first. How to honestly evaluate your own food system without going to extremes. This episode is for anyone who suspects the food system has problems but isn't ready to go fully plant-based and wants a real, non-preachy conversation about it.Try this today: Eliminate dairy completely for 3–5 days — no cheese, no milk, no ice cream — and just pay attention to how you feel. Scott calls it the single most telling test you can do. #FulfillmentProject #PlantBased #FoodAndHealth 📚 Explore more conversations on leadership + parenting: SUBSCRIBE TO FULFILLMENT PROJECT today.
