About this episode

Shawn Baker discusses the benefits of the carnivore diet and its implications for health and athletic performance.

In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can a diet of almost exclusively meat actually support world-record athletic performance while raising serious questions about conventional cardiovascular risk? Shawn Baker (MD) traces his path from professional rugby and military trauma surgery to pioneering the carnivore movement, makes the case for carnivore as a powerful elimination diet for autoimmune and inflammatory disease, and engages Dave in a nuanced debate on LDL, plaque imaging data, gut microbiome myths, and the politics of nutrition research. 🔥 This episode is sponsored by us -- Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/32` Private blood testing services 🩸Over 300 blood tests 💰Extremely affordable ❤️ We love our customers (Yes, we are literally funding the entire podcast from our own company -- so if you want to show your support, keep getting your private blood testing through our service.
