1089: Top 10 Reasons Why the Carnivore D...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode

There’s no doubt that people are experiencing a lessening of digestive, inflammation, and pain based symptoms while on the “Carnivore Diet...”

The problem is that health is NOT the absence of disease and every time we forget this it leads to long-term consequences...

And these consequences are typically much worse than the original symptoms that were suppressed during the band-aid approach of removing an entire macronutrient (versus rebalancing the true underlying root causes of your dis-ease)...

Today, on #CabralConcept 1089 I provide an unbiased overview of the top 10 reasons why the carnivore diet is disastrous for your long-term health and if you do use it how to do it in the safest way possible - Enjoy the show!
