0:04

0:06

morning here in Austin. And today

0:08

we have someone from down under

0:11

Kendall is joining us carnivore

0:13

Kendall, and she's going to

0:15

be sharing what it's like to be a carnivore

0:17

mom to get married and have a carnivore

0:19

wedding and have a carnivore husband. So

0:22

it's going to be a great discussion. Welcome

0:24

to the carnivore way. This is my podcast

0:26

where we talk to carnivores

0:28

and YouTube content creators in the carnivore sphere

0:31

that talk about, what we do and

0:33

how we live our carnivore lifestyle. So let me bring Kendall

0:35

in, let her introduce herself real

0:37

quick. Good morning, Kendall. Or

0:40

good evening.

0:41

Good morning. Good evening. Yes. Good evening

0:43

here. Good morning for you guys.

0:45

Now, where are you at in Australia? I

0:47

know it's a big place. Like I'm from Texas, which is really

0:49

big, but Australia is even bigger, but

0:51

yes, I'm in Melbourne, Victoria,

0:53

which is down the south of the country.

0:55

Yes.

0:56

Well, you know about that. There's that get together

0:58

coming up.

1:00

Yeah, I think it actually was this weekend.

1:02

I'm not gonna get there unfortunately, but it's meant

1:05

to be amazing.

1:06

That was in Melbourne. Yeah. Yeah. That's really cool.

1:08

That's too bad. You missed it because I heard it was

1:11

speakers there.

1:12

Yeah, I think it's the second time they've done

1:14

it. So I'll have to definitely try and get there

1:16

next time.

1:17

Yeah. Plan for it. We have, what's called KetoCon

1:20

or Hack Your Health. They call it now here in

1:22

Austin. And that's coming up in the end

1:24

of May and I'm going and I'm meeting

1:26

Dr. Chafee there, Dr. Kills,

1:28

Dr. Baker. They're all going to be there and I've already interviewed

1:30

with them and I'm meeting them there, which is great. And

1:33

yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Also

1:35

Carrie from Homestead Howe. I'm sure you've heard of him.

1:38

Yes. Oh,

1:39

that'll

1:40

be great. I'd love

1:42

to do that one day.

1:43

Yeah. The carnivore teacher. Well, let me tell you, if you're going

1:45

to come to America, I mean, I'm biased, but. Texas

1:48

is the best state in America and Austin

1:50

is a fun place to go. It's not the best city

1:52

in, in, in Texas, but it is a fun

1:54

place to go. And we do have the best barbecue.

1:57

So, this is the place to come to get meat. So

2:04

why don't you introduce yourself? Tell us who you are,

2:06

where you're from, your kind of dad, what you do

2:08

and how long you've been carnivore, that kind of stuff.

2:11

Okay, my name is Kendall. Obviously, as you guys,

2:13

you've just introduced me and I have been

2:15

carnival for, I think, coming up to 10

2:17

months now. So I'm still a fairly new

2:19

carnival. My background,

2:22

I'm a professional makeup artist and

2:24

personal trainer. Did that for

2:27

20 years. Makeup artistry and I've

2:29

always worked for myself. And then

2:31

I did a little bit of personal training and

2:33

I'm also a mom. So throughout

2:35

my journey been married before.

2:38

Been a single mom run my

2:40

own business life was always really

2:42

really busy and throughout that time

2:45

I did get a little bit of a an

2:47

illness. I guess I was diagnosed with Cyratic

2:50

arthritis, so I had an autoimmune disease Throughout

2:53

all the stress probably of what was going on

2:55

in life at the time like we all go through So

2:57

I've always been very health conscious very

3:00

healthy and sort of focused on

3:02

eating whole food nutrition. And I

3:04

also did some work for a company that was

3:06

all about health and wellness and healthy living

3:09

and skin and makeup and nutrition. So it's

3:11

always been about helping others feel their best.

3:14

And that's been my goal, I think. Always,

3:16

whether it's their skin care, their makeup, their

3:18

bodies, their nutrition, and

3:21

that's still my passion today. And I just love

3:23

helping people. I don't really want to sell

3:25

anything or do anything like that. I just want

3:27

to help people. It's just from the goodness of my

3:29

own heart. That's sort of my background.

3:33

Into, you know, what I do

3:35

and what I like to do. I have two kids

3:37

of a 14 year old boy and

3:39

a Hugh and a nearly 13

3:41

year old daughter, so they're wonderful.

3:44

They aren't carnivore yet.

3:47

Yeah. I do try and just do a little bit of,

3:49

you know, social hints here

3:51

and there and try and talk about things,

3:53

especially my son, who's very heavily into sport

3:55

and he plays AFL and football 40.

3:59

But yeah, that's so that's my background.

4:02

Yeah, my son's 14 to and he did carnival

4:05

for a while. Although right now he

4:07

is not carnivore. And let me show you, I'm

4:10

going to share an example of a kind of meal I make

4:12

for him. This is what we ate last night for dinner. I

4:15

took a picture of it and put it on my Facebook

4:17

group. I do have a Facebook group for anyone that's looking to

4:20

actually join a community. Let me

4:22

show this. This is the dinner I

4:24

made for us. And

4:26

you can see my plate has a cube

4:28

of butter and a hidden

4:30

plate. Now these fries are

4:32

homemade sweet potato fries in

4:34

lard that I fried and salted.

4:37

It's ketchup. It's called primal ketchup.

4:39

It has no sugar added. It's

4:42

very clean ketchup. The salad

4:44

dressing is primal dressing, which it does

4:46

have some avocado oil, but very little. And it doesn't

4:48

have any other seed oil. It's very clean. And

4:51

then the burger is why goo and the

4:53

bun I gave him and he has cheese on it. And the bug

4:56

bun I gave him is a keto buns with a lower

4:58

carb. So I'm going with lower carbon, healthier,

5:00

whole food options for my son.

5:03

That's amazing.

5:04

But he loves it. He's like, this tastes just as good as

5:06

the restaurant dad, if not better. I'm like, okay, there you

5:08

go. So no big deal. You don't have

5:10

to, be the food Nazi

5:12

necessarily as the parents still feed your kids

5:14

healthy, right? And I try to do that.

5:17

Exactly. There's always a way. There's always a healthier

5:19

version, isn't there?

5:21

Yeah. When I give him a snack, he does like

5:23

fruit. So I get apples

5:25

and I slice them and then I get we

5:27

have peanut, but it's made of just peanuts ground.

5:29

That's all it is. Nothing else. I

5:31

used to buy that just the peanuts that they grow on

5:33

the peanuts. Yeah, there's

5:34

nothing. There's one ingredient, peanuts and salt,

5:37

basically two. So that is the

5:39

cleanest version. Of a seed oil and everything

5:41

that's okay. I think it's okay. Cause it's cold

5:43

pressed or cold made. It's not, oxidized.

5:46

And so that's what I do for my

5:48

son, or I give him grapes or something. I know there's a lot of sugar

5:50

there, but I think the seed oils are the main culprit.

5:53

Absolutely. I think the sugar absolutely is bad. If

5:55

you have an addiction. My son doesn't have an addictive

5:57

personality. I do. Yeah. I would eat just

6:00

the sugar. I mean, I used eat, eat.

6:02

Oh my gosh. If I opened, I eat the whole packet, Oreos,

6:05

I'd eat the whole Oreo bag if I ate it up,

6:07

you know, and dip it in milk and just

6:09

sit there and eat it all. And it's,

6:11

that's, yeah, once you've opened it, it's like,

6:13

I'm just gonna eat the whole thing. 'cause then it's gone and then

6:15

I don't, I don't have it anymore.

6:17

Right, right, right. So, so tell me, how

6:20

did you hear about. Carnivore and

6:22

what prompted you to start it? It seems like a crazy

6:24

diet I've seen one of your videos we talked about at

6:26

first we saw you weren't mentally ready And

6:29

then

6:30

you became a

6:30

career. So tell me about that. Like the first time you

6:32

heard about it and then the time you actually adopted

6:34

it.

6:35

Yeah. So I heard about it through

6:37

my partner or

6:39

husband now, but he was my husband then he,

6:41

one of his friends had, we've done some work

6:43

for, or we also run our own business together

6:46

as well. I forgot to mention that. So exterior

6:48

cleaning. So I'm sort of in the office now, but I was

6:50

also out on the tools. So we went

6:52

and did this job and he said, Oh, I'm doing this. This

6:55

meat thing, you know, I just eat meat and I saw,

6:57

Oh my God, that's just disgusting. How could

6:59

you just eat me? I just thought I liked me,

7:01

but I don't like it that much. I'm like, Oh

7:03

yeah. And Ty, my husband or partner

7:05

at the time, husband, I'll say husband at the time,

7:08

he's like, That sounds great. I'm

7:10

going to do it. And I thought, don't you dare do

7:12

that. I'm not making two lots of food for you

7:14

and one for me. And so I just

7:16

was very against it. And I just thought it sounded

7:18

too extreme. And I always thought you

7:21

had to have all your macros. I was a big believer

7:23

in, you know, a bit of this, bit of carbs, bit of fat,

7:25

bit of this. And I just thought there's

7:27

no way I would ever do it. And I think

7:29

time went on, I mean, six months

7:31

or three months or something. He never really did it by

7:33

the way. He never tried. He

7:37

It came up again. He saw something on YouTube,

7:40

my time, my husband, and he said

7:42

it was Michaela Peterson talking about her

7:45

autoimmune disease and how it's cured

7:47

her, and he said, I think

7:49

you should look at this video. And as soon

7:51

as that resonated with me, you know, it really

7:54

got to my heart. And it was my, why I went.

7:56

Oh my God, I have to do this. I forgot

7:58

all about what I said before. And I was like,

8:01

I'm going to do it. And I started watching all these videos

8:03

and it happened when we were in Thailand on

8:06

our like pre honeymoon. So the worst place

8:08

to be going on a carnival diet in

8:10

Thailand,

8:11

everything's cooked in oil.

8:13

Everything's in oil. It was noodles and Pad

8:16

Thai and he did really good. He didn't

8:18

eat any of that stuff, but we probably ate

8:20

still some bad stuff. We did drink as well a little

8:22

bit. But I still sort

8:24

of cut out the main, cut out the main veggies

8:26

and all that sort of salads and stuff. I didn't

8:29

have anything. I just had meat. And

8:31

I was watching all the videos while I was on vacation

8:33

and going, wow, look at all these people and

8:36

Anthony Chafee and Sean Baker. And I was

8:39

just going through them all. I was addicted. So when

8:41

we got home, which was about the end of

8:43

July, I just went hardcore. I went

8:45

all in. I just went, I'm home, no more alcohol,

8:47

which is just for the holiday. None of that,

8:50

and no veggies. I just stopped eating at all,

8:52

and I was eating a lot of oxalates, a

8:55

lot of spinach, a lot of sweet

8:57

potato, all the high oxalate foods,

9:00

and I was sort of like, I was drifting

9:03

through, I don't know what, for about a week,

9:05

I was, like, my, my head

9:07

wasn't screwed on, I, I was, I think I was just dumping

9:09

all that stuff out of my system. But

9:12

that's how it started. I think my why

9:14

was I don't want to go back on and

9:16

heavy duty medication. And I'd been

9:19

on methotrexate for four years prior

9:21

when I was diagnosed. So I'd

9:23

been off it, but I had a little flare up and I thought,

9:26

Oh, don't really want to go back to the rheumatologist.

9:29

And then this all came up and just all came at the

9:31

right time. And I went, Oh my gosh, if I can eat

9:33

meat. I'd rather eat meat than have to go

9:35

back on that stuff. So that's

9:37

why I did it. Yeah. And I loved it.

9:40

You don't take any meds, right?

9:42

No meds, no inflammation.

9:45

I do still have a little bit of psoriasis.

9:47

I think that's going to take a while to heal.

9:51

And oxalate dumping can take longer than

9:53

just, you've only been for a few months, right? Like nine

9:55

months or 10 months.

9:57

Yeah. I was eating a lot

9:59

of green smoothies, a lot of green

10:01

spinach drinks.

10:03

I'm glad I hated that stuff because I didn't have

10:05

to deal with it. I hated spinach.

10:07

I liked salads, but really what I liked was salad

10:09

dressing with the texture of salad. I mean,

10:11

like I would like a wedge salad, which was

10:13

like the blue cheese and the bacon bits. on

10:16

a piece of iceberg lettuce, which is basically

10:18

just texture, right? And it turns

10:20

out it's all seed oil, right? So I was eating the wrong

10:22

thing for sure. It's

10:23

amazing how much of it we eat we don't realize.

10:26

Exactly, and I point that out to my son, and I

10:28

know I sound like a Nazi, but I do point it out to my son.

10:30

I'm like, listen, son, you know, you gotta stay

10:32

away from dips, you gotta stay away from salad dressings,

10:35

and I'm sure he thinks I'm extreme,

10:37

which is fine, I'm good with that. Because

10:40

it is extreme, but it's because our

10:42

standard Western diet is extreme and

10:44

in America, it's worse than is Australia or

10:46

in the UK. They add seed oil

10:48

to more things here that they can't over there.

10:51

I think there's more sources and dressings in

10:53

that there than maybe here, but look, we aren't far

10:55

behind. I don't know. You guys

10:57

aren't far behind but America is worse off.

10:59

I saw a comparison

11:01

of breakfast cereals between an

11:03

American cereal. And I think it was lucky charms

11:05

or something. And a German version. And

11:07

in Germany, there's no seedwells in ours, there's seedwells

11:09

in the breakfast cereal.

11:10

Wow. Yeah, it's everywhere.

11:12

It's everywhere. Yeah. And I think

11:14

it's because the, it's part of that scientific

11:17

study where these scientists design food

11:19

to get the right mouthfeel and the bliss

11:22

points. Yes, I have heard that. I've

11:24

heard a

11:24

video about that. And it's addictive and it's got

11:26

the crackle and the smell and the taste

11:28

in there. It's frightening,

11:31

isn't it? They

11:31

optimize the addiction level of our

11:33

food here in America. And in Europe. at

11:36

least they protect some people from some of that, which

11:38

is a little better, but they're still not

11:40

far behind us. So yeah it's

11:42

crazy. It's a, and I, for me

11:44

eating meat was just, it changed my

11:46

mental health. It changed my physical

11:49

health. I went, I don't know if you've seen pictures

11:51

of me before and after, but

11:54

I've been on some of your stuff. I need to go and see all

11:56

the befores, but I haven't seen the

11:58

befores, but I think you look great now, so you, you

12:00

know, Oh my

12:01

gosh, I was so, I

12:03

wonder if I have my shirt off picture in my,

12:05

I think I do in my Facebook. Let me see if I can grab

12:07

it because I went from 280

12:09

pounds and yes, here we go. Lemme

12:12

bring this This is good stuff. So let me shock

12:14

you here now, Don. I do have my shirt

12:16

off, so I don't like the, that's all. I'm not

12:18

a guy that like, you know,

12:21

uh, okay, let me

12:23

show you what this has done to me. What? This carnivore diet.

12:25

Oh wow.

12:26

Oh no, I did see this one. Actually, I did see this

12:28

one. I think I did see that. Yes. I think

12:30

it's amazing what the difference

12:32

two 80 to 2 33 and put on muscle

12:34

and now I'm

12:35

wow.

12:35

I have so many stories. I can talk about, like, this

12:37

ring that I wear I had made when

12:39

I was in my 20s, when

12:42

I got out of my first military service. And

12:44

I couldn't wear it for decades. It sat

12:46

in my bowl on my desk. And then one day after

12:48

being carnivore for six months, I thought, I wonder if this

12:51

could fit me. Cause I feel like I'm, and

12:53

I just put it on and it fit. And I was like, Oh my gosh,

12:55

it's crazy. Right. I had so much information.

12:58

I couldn't get it past my knuckle.

13:00

Yeah. It's incredible. Even Ty's

13:02

wedding ring he's only had for a few months.

13:04

It's still, it's too big. He's

13:09

lost like 26 kilos.

13:11

Yeah that's about what I lost. I mean, I

13:13

was

13:14

always a bigger man. Like he's, he's a,

13:16

he's an iron man's

13:18

and he's done, he's a strength and conditioning coach,

13:20

so he's done a lot of working out in these years and

13:22

had knee reconstruction and stuff like that. But

13:25

he, yeah, he just, and it was quick,

13:28

like three months.

13:29

Yeah, I know. It's so quick. So going back to my

13:31

story, I was retired army, so I retired

13:34

army in 2019. Yes. I've always been

13:36

in pretty good shape and I was a rugby player

13:38

and a wrestler and a track runner in

13:40

high school and in college. In college I played rugby.

13:42

Yes. And

13:43

okay,

13:44

so I was, I was second row, which I dunno if you

13:46

know what that is, but that's like a, kind of like a lineman

13:48

in football, but in American football, yes. But,

13:50

um, you know, and this,

13:52

I'm almost down to, I'm basically at my playing

13:55

weight right now that I had, which

13:57

is crazy. And I'm in the gym now. I started

13:59

the gym. I did not do any

14:01

gym workouts in the first nine

14:03

months of carnivore nine months. And

14:05

I got amazing results, lost

14:07

all this weight, lost all my inflammation. And

14:09

then I hit the gym and Oh my gosh,

14:12

it's crazy.

14:15

I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm 58,

14:18

I'm 58 and I didn't have any,

14:20

and I'm just feel like I'm, I feel athletic

14:23

again. I'm able to sprint, I'm able

14:25

to lift, I'm doing deadlifts and farmer

14:27

carries and squats and All

14:29

the stuff I did in college. It's so good. It feels

14:31

so great.

14:32

It makes you feel like a brand new person.

14:35

You feel like a super, you really do feel like a superhero.

14:37

As Anthony Chavey says, if you want to be like a

14:39

superhero, super, you know, it's incredible.

14:42

And I have to remind myself that I'm not, it's like, I can

14:44

still get killed in a car crash. But my chances of

14:46

getting cancer or Alzheimer's is like

14:48

way, way, way, way down to the bottom of

14:50

my worries. You know,

14:52

it's absolutely,

14:54

absolutely. And I think you mentioned

14:56

before about the not having the brain

14:58

fog and your mental health.

15:01

That was a big one for me because I think I've always

15:03

suffered from a little bit of anxiety, but never

15:05

really, really I mean, everybody else

15:07

probably knows, but I sort of know,

15:10

but I noticed that was a big thing.

15:12

I just felt like I could think clearly,

15:15

time slowed down. I wasn't rushing.

15:18

I'd always sort of be short with people or not

15:20

all the time, but you know, a bit more short and abrupt.

15:23

And I just felt like a brand new person. And

15:25

I was really my whole, Feeling

15:27

was just so much better mental

15:30

health wise was I couldn't

15:32

believe how much difference I felt in myself

15:34

and just better about myself just feeling

15:37

generally better and just yeah, it's a

15:39

it does make you feel like a different person. And I

15:41

think a lot of people think that sounds a bit. Corny

15:44

and a bit funny, but it really is true.

15:46

I call it carnivore Zen and

15:49

because it is, you just like, you become

15:51

totally relaxed and the stress

15:54

falls away. Now there's still stress. There's still problems in

15:56

life,

15:56

but

15:57

you handle it so much better now. And it's

15:59

absolutely. Yeah. And I think just Feeling

16:01

lighter, not that I was, I was never really,

16:03

I've never been different weight, but and

16:06

I've always worked out. So I've been consistent with that,

16:08

but I always, as getting older, being

16:10

close to 50 myself, I was

16:12

feeling bloated sometimes and that was

16:14

all, I think all the food I was eating as well,

16:16

I was always feeling like I couldn't get rid of that

16:18

little bit of weight on my stomach. As

16:21

a mum, I think a lot of mums know what that's like and

16:23

As soon as I did carnivore, that, that water weight

16:25

just, you know, I was away and I was like,

16:27

wow, just shrunk.

16:28

I

16:31

love this. It's gone. And it's, I've been

16:33

trying to solve this problem for a long time. And

16:36

the muscles increased over time because

16:38

I've kept my workouts up and I feel stronger

16:40

all the time. It's fantastic.

16:42

So we have we have a holiday

16:44

here called Thanksgiving and the holiday is

16:47

It's all around eating. It's all it is. It's

16:50

really eating a big meal and it's usually

16:52

the worst foods you could ever think of. And

16:54

this year I hosted and my brother's

16:56

carnivore, my sister and their family. So we hosted

16:58

a carnivore Thanksgiving and it

17:00

was the first time I've had a Thanksgiving where I didn't

17:03

have a stomach that was upset

17:05

and full and where I had to unbutton my button and lay on

17:07

the couch in pain for hours after that's

17:09

what everyone does on Thanksgiving. And this Thanksgiving,

17:13

I just ate and felt trim and felt never got

17:15

bloated and just got full and stopped eating is

17:17

so satisfying. So that's a great

17:19

feeling. Yeah, that's fantastic.

17:21

Yeah, that's fantastic. My sister lives in the,

17:23

in, in the States. She's in Los Angeles

17:26

and married an American, so they

17:28

do. Yeah, they do talk about Thanksgiving

17:30

and. Yeah, it sounds like it's like our Christmas.

17:32

That's what most people over here for Christmas. We do

17:34

it for

17:35

Christmas too. You know, we do it,

17:38

we have to do both, you know, another

17:39

reason to eat more food.

17:41

Exactly. And you

17:43

know, but you can do the, and we

17:45

did eat not completely clean.

17:47

We ate pretty clean. I mean, when we talk about cheating,

17:49

I'm talking about Dr. Kilt's his ice cream. I

17:52

made, I made a homemade eggnog

17:54

with heavy whipping cream. I did hear you talk

17:55

about that actually. I remember you talking about that on one of your

17:58

things. Yeah, I just,

18:00

I just got egg yolks and

18:02

heavy whipping cream and whipped them up and then

18:04

put in nutmeg and a little sweetener

18:06

and put it in the fridge. And it just,

18:09

it

18:09

tasted like regular eggnog. It's so good.

18:11

And

18:12

we had alcohol, you know, Last night I actually

18:14

had a little bit of bourbon with a veteran. My

18:16

buddy, my neighbor who's a veteran came over. He's

18:18

a carnivore too now cause he changed his life after

18:20

meeting me. And so we had a little bourbon.

18:22

So I do occasionally drink, but this

18:24

bottle of bourbon now has been in

18:26

my house since Thanksgiving, which

18:29

is last November. Wow. And we just finished

18:31

it last night. So that's how little I'm drinking now.

18:33

And I used to drink that bottle would've lasted three

18:35

weeks max. Yes. I would've had a drink every night

18:38

to go to bed. That's the way I used to drink. I don't know

18:40

about you, but that's where

18:41

We used to be a little bit the same. It

18:43

was a Friday night, have a

18:45

drink, have vodka and soda.

18:47

So, very light and my husband

18:50

likes bourbon too. And every now and then I'd have bourbon as

18:52

well and dry ginger or ginger ale.

18:54

And it became a little bit more where we drink

18:56

two or three drinks, four drinks a week. And

18:59

that's when I went, Oh, I think I have to stop. This is becoming

19:02

just a habit of. de stress when

19:04

you shouldn't need to de stress like

19:06

that. So that's what I cut out before I started

19:08

carnivore actually. So very

19:11

rarely we'll have a drink if it's a celebration

19:13

or something, or, obviously on our wedding

19:15

we did, but apart from that, it's very

19:17

rare now to have any sort of drinks

19:19

unless it's, something special. So definitely

19:22

makes you feel better. You don't have all that sort

19:24

of carry on days and days and days afterwards

19:27

and all that sort of thing. But yeah,

19:29

I guess being a carnivore mum and

19:31

wife. I was lucky that

19:33

my husband was the one that introduced

19:35

to me and we both wanted to do it together. I think

19:38

that would make it a lot easier for people if

19:40

you can work together and tag team

19:42

and have that support of your partner

19:44

or your husband or I think

19:46

that's been a blessing. And we motivate

19:48

each other and talk about things and we understand.

19:51

What we're, you know, we're reading the same things.

19:53

I'm just, interested in the same way of life.

19:56

As for the kids, I'm, I

19:58

wouldn't push them into it. I think that they're

20:00

seeing huge results with

20:02

my husband and how he's changed.

20:04

And I think it'll just work

20:07

over time. And I'm always, they know, I've always

20:09

been very health conscious. So I think

20:11

just. Things will rub off and they

20:14

learn from example and they learn if you're

20:16

setting a good example and they will learn

20:18

that from you. So I think

20:20

that's a nice thing to, over time, they'll

20:22

choose what they want to do and I try

20:24

and still get them fairly healthy as a healthy

20:27

alternative. So they both do have a sweet

20:29

tooth a little bit, but they're very good, but I

20:31

won't push it on them. I'll just let them work it out

20:33

themselves. And over time, I

20:35

think they'll get more and more inclined. It's already,

20:37

I can already see some changes already happening with

20:39

them. So it's sort of cool.

20:41

Yeah that's awesome. And that's what I'm looking for.

20:43

I'm single. So, when I date, I'm

20:46

looking for that now. I'm looking for someone who, these

20:48

are foundational things. Your, your faith, your politics,

20:51

are you conservative? Are you liberal? That kind of thing.

20:53

Your diet, these are pretty foundational.

20:55

And if you're off on one of those, I

20:58

don't think it's a good foundation to build a relationship

21:00

on. You really have to have some roots

21:02

that are the same. Like you and your husband

21:05

are both physical in the gym, both kind of training,

21:07

you're in the same mindset there and then,

21:09

your diet. And now, so that's kind of what I look

21:11

forward to. And it's really difficult because

21:14

it seems as so extreme in the dating

21:16

realm, you know, when you meet someone and they're like, I

21:18

met this one girl, I went on a date and

21:21

she said, well, I love to bake. I'm like,

21:23

well, great. That's, good for you. I'm

21:25

glad you love to bake. Well, you

21:27

would eat my pie if I baked it. Right. And I'm like,

21:29

no, I would not have a bite

21:32

of your pie. I don't know if this is metaphorical

21:34

or what, but I'm just, I'm not going to eat your pie. And,

21:37

that was the last date with her, you know, and

21:39

I was like, okay. Uh, because it's just

21:41

too weird that I would not eat anything that she

21:43

would bake. And I'm like, that's fine. I'm not

21:45

here to be a food Nazi, but I realized

21:47

too that, if she had all that stuff in the house and

21:50

if I did end up being with someone like that, it would be really

21:52

difficult to have two different meals going

21:55

at dinner. And like what I did with my son,

21:57

I made burgers and I just gave him some extra

21:59

stuff on there, but I'm still eating the same meal.

22:01

Right.

22:02

Yes, and that's what we do. I do exactly

22:04

the same. I'll cook up like I did chicken

22:06

thighs in a creamy bacon sauce, which

22:09

was absolutely lovely. Gave it to the kids

22:11

and they had rice. So they had it with rice or pasta,

22:13

because that's how they would eat it. And

22:15

we just had it plain, you know, with nothing. But

22:17

the funny story about the partner thing when I

22:19

met my husband, he said to me,

22:21

okay, There's a few conditions.

22:24

One was not being vegan. Vegetarian.

22:29

He said, I don't want any vegans or vegetarians

22:32

because that would have been a deal breaker. So it

22:34

is does make a difference. I think if you're

22:36

going to live that lifestyle at least they

22:38

like me. Yeah, open.

22:41

Yeah. Yeah.

22:42

And I like to say, and I don't know if you've probably seen

22:45

my videos. I like to say that carnivore is not

22:47

just a diet, not even just a lifestyle.

22:49

It's a life changing event. And

22:51

it's where your identity changes. It's such

22:53

a drastic change in your health and your mental health

22:55

and your physical health that it's like

22:57

you, you change the trajectory of your life of

22:59

where you're going. For me, it has, I mean, for me,

23:02

I went from unmotivated sitting on a couch,

23:04

no energy, no plans,

23:06

just like holding on to life, thinking I was just

23:09

going to do this downward slope to death and

23:11

hope I'd be around to see my son graduate college

23:13

and maybe get married, maybe even see a grandchild.

23:15

I was hoping. And it went from that

23:18

to now this trajectory where I'm planning, I'm

23:20

looking at I'm like doing these great exercises.

23:22

I'm traveling the world. I'm

23:24

looking to buy rental homes. I'm doing like, I

23:26

have a plans. I'm planning for

23:28

a future and it's a long future because I know

23:30

Dr. Chaffee says 120 years is what we're designed

23:33

to live life

23:35

yet. I'm not even midlife yet. I got a long way.

23:38

Exactly. It definitely does change

23:40

you. I feel the same. I think I saw that video you're

23:42

talking about and I was listening to it. I was like, I

23:45

totally identify with that. You go deeper

23:47

with things, you get more passionate about things

23:49

and you have more time and energy

23:51

to put it into other things that you wouldn't have before

23:54

because you just don't feel as good. So

23:56

I think it really can change your life in so

23:58

many ways. Enrich it enriches

24:01

your life. I think.

24:02

Yeah. And it's hard to describe. You can't tell someone.

24:05

They have to experience it. It's like being a parent. That's why I talk

24:07

about it because they're, you know, a lot of people are parents or

24:09

graduating to military school. When you graduate military school,

24:12

your identity changes. You're now a soldier or

24:14

you were a veteran, right? And

24:16

if you've been a parent, you're now a mom

24:18

or a dad and you can't tell somebody. I could talk about

24:20

being a dad all day long, but someone hasn't

24:22

done it. They never put a baby in their hands

24:24

that they created with their wife or

24:26

their partner. They don't know. They don't

24:28

know. They cannot explain it in words. And

24:31

it's the same thing in carnivore. If you haven't done carnivore

24:33

for 100 days and experienced

24:35

the changes in your life, I, no one can tell

24:37

you how it's gonna be. And no amount of reading

24:40

you can do or research will

24:43

let you experience it. You have to do it. That's

24:45

the only way to figure it out.

24:46

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.

24:49

I agree 100%. Absolutely.

24:51

I've had, I had a few people reach out

24:53

to me and it's been lovely. People have come out of the

24:55

woodwork and there's people I haven't seen for ages

24:57

saying, Oh, I'm doing carnivore or my husband's doing

25:00

carnivore or can you talk to my

25:02

partner who, and I'm, she's vegetarian,

25:04

but I think he needs to be carnivore. And I'm thinking

25:07

this is insane. Like they're coming out of the woodwork

25:09

and it's just fantastic. But my greatest

25:11

challenges with carnivore I think probably

25:15

I don't really feel like I've had a lot of challenges

25:17

yet. To be honest, I've loved it. I've just loved

25:20

all of it. I never feel part of eating

25:22

meat and it's quite a lot of variety.

25:24

Just trying to think. probably

25:26

the biggest challenge has been my

25:28

reaction from my family, my,

25:31

my parents and things like that. And my sister

25:33

as well, because they have a very they're

25:35

very open minded, but they're always

25:37

asking questions. How long are you doing this for?

25:40

When are you going to stop? What about

25:42

cholesterol? What about this? You

25:44

know, have you been to the doctors all that sort

25:46

of stuff. And I think, um, I've just slowly

25:49

feed them little bits of information and they're

25:51

really open to it now. And I think they've,

25:53

it had actually influenced my dad a little bit.

25:55

He started saying, I'm doing this and Ty's

25:57

dad's been taking it on and he's lost some

25:59

weight and he feels great and they're in their eighties.

26:01

So this is great.

26:04

So it's slowly rubbing off, but I think

26:06

people have to do their own research too. And I think

26:08

I usually just direct people say, look, check out these

26:10

guys, you know, chafing by car. kilts,

26:14

whatever, and just do you some research

26:16

and and check it out for yourself because you're,

26:18

you'll have your own you'll do your own research

26:20

and you'll need to work it out yourself. But that's probably been

26:22

my biggest challenge, just trying to not

26:24

convince anybody, but try and explain why

26:27

I'm doing something and I'm just trying to point

26:29

them in the right direction to, to do, to find

26:31

out for themselves.

26:32

Yeah, I think you're the prophet in your own town,

26:35

right? So people won't listen to you, but if you point them

26:37

to other people that are, especially doctors and such

26:39

and medical papers and all these things, I mean, if they're

26:41

interested, if they're interested. My dad wouldn't

26:44

even look at it, and he's in his 80s he's

26:46

80, I think. And I visited

26:48

and he's very stubborn and I visited and I talked

26:50

about it and I shared a video with him. The

26:52

Dr. Kenobi video from low carb down

26:54

under a few years ago when he talked about seed oils,

26:57

really good and seed oil presentation and

26:59

about cancer rates and Alzheimer's

27:01

and all the Western diseases that are associated

27:04

with seed oils. And I was like, Dad, you don't have

27:06

to go low carb, just cut out seed oils. I was like, if you just

27:08

cut seed oils out, that's really, I'd really

27:10

be and he just didn't want to look at it

27:12

even. And then he wouldn't look at it until

27:14

I left the house and I was driving home. And he lives

27:17

in Alabama, which is 10 hour drive. So I'm driving home

27:19

on the way back. And he called me

27:21

like I watched that video like you wouldn't do it

27:23

the days. I was there like that. That's Right,

27:26

and I'm kind of stubborn

27:28

like that, too I can't you know, I'm older guy

27:30

too, but I'm a little stubborn but he's like

27:32

that so he watched it He's

27:34

like, yeah, he had some good points.

27:36

He said I'll to watch it again I said, yeah, you should

27:38

dad and he said but I'm not gonna give up my

27:41

mayonnaise I

27:44

said, dad, that's fine. But I said, at

27:46

least now it's an informed consent because

27:49

up till now you thought it was safe and even healthy.

27:51

And now, you know, it's not, and

27:53

then you see dwells if you, I don't know if you've seen

27:55

this, but there's papers that just come out a few

27:57

years ago, they have a 680

28:00

day half life in your body.

28:02

Oh, no, I haven't seen that. I have linoleic

28:04

acid as a, that's a two year half

28:07

life. That means that if you stop eating seed

28:09

oils, it takes five to six years for

28:11

95 percent of it to get out of your body.

28:13

To get out of your body. Wow. While it's

28:15

in your body, it's continuing to damage your mitochondria

28:17

your cell walls, your DNA.

28:19

And we know now based on. OT

28:22

Warberg and Dr. Siegfried, that

28:24

they've done the test that if you get a healthy

28:26

cell and you put in damaged mitochondria, it becomes

28:29

cancerous. You get a cancerous cell, yes. But

28:31

in healthy mitochondria it returns to normal.

28:33

And we know that seed oils damage mitochondria, so

28:35

they are driving for sure

28:38

a hundred percent cancer. So I'm a huge

28:40

advocate of not eating any seed oils, if

28:43

you can get away with it.

28:43

No. I think that was the first thing that resonated

28:46

with me when everyone said, you don't have

28:48

any of those oils anymore. Because I'd have olive

28:50

oil and I was like, or coconut oil even. And

28:52

I'm like, okay, no more of those. Coconut

28:55

is probably

28:55

the safest. Coconut is probably the safest.

28:57

And you can see that Dr. Kenobi

29:00

talks about that, that one population on that island

29:02

eats tons of coconut oil and fish.

29:05

And water, but it's the oils that

29:07

can be that were around back

29:10

200 years ago, before the industrial age,

29:12

they're the safest if they're cold pressed, but

29:14

you don't know what you're buying is. And that's the thing

29:16

you just don't know that it's, you know,

29:18

unless you were there when they made it, you can't tell they

29:21

haven't cut it with something else. Or

29:23

it's amazing. Isn't it? I had a conversation with my

29:25

mom today about, about this whole topic

29:27

about food and why So

29:29

many kids are getting sick and they're away from

29:31

school and they're more and more absent

29:33

than when we were growing up. And

29:36

she said, back then, you look around, no

29:38

one was overweight,

29:39

right?

29:39

People were moving more, people were exercising

29:42

more because they didn't have cars necessarily.

29:44

And they ate just normal, regular food

29:47

that was. I'm not afraid with pesticides.

29:50

They didn't have the choices we have today and

29:52

they didn't have the processed food and she said,

29:54

we just had these choices, on two hands,

29:56

you could count all the food and we

29:58

were all fine and yeah, there's

30:00

no seed oils.

30:04

Yeah. And you're close

30:06

to my age. So you grew up in similar times

30:08

and actually I think Australia

30:11

and in Europe are behind us and

30:14

changing the food chain. You were, so you probably

30:16

look more like I did in this, even

30:18

though I'm about 10 years older than you. I probably

30:20

ate more similar food than you did growing up.

30:23

And like my mother, when she would make salad dressing,

30:25

she would make buttermilk ranch and

30:27

she would get, actually get buttermilk. And add

30:29

seasoning to it to make ranch that there was no seed

30:32

oils, it was buttermilk, and it's so

30:34

much better.

30:35

Yeah. And then we would have. And

30:38

we would actually go in our backyard and get strawberries

30:40

and put them in the salad. And we'd get walnuts

30:42

from the front yard. We had trees out front. So we'd actually

30:44

get real food, and even though

30:47

this is something, when your friend who's a vegan

30:49

wants her husband or partner to become a carnivore,

30:52

I think vegans and carnivores have a lot in common

30:54

other than the craziness some

30:56

of these vegans have. But what

30:58

we have in common is eating a whole food diet. That

31:01

is huge. If you, you know, unfortunately

31:03

they have the seed oils. We cut that out and

31:06

eat a natural, I like to call it a natural

31:09

whole food diet. If it's not made in a machine,

31:12

right? Exactly. It's

31:14

much better for you. Yeah. So we used to

31:16

eat like that. And then when we would go out, we'd have

31:18

pizza maybe once every couple of months and

31:21

We wouldn't ever go out to eat. Rarely.

31:23

It was like birthday and that

31:24

was the other thing. Yeah. You didn't go out to eat, you didn't have

31:26

to eat Buy in.

31:27

The kids now, they're eating out all the time.

31:29

I mean, here in America it's crazy. It's

31:32

just natural

31:32

for them. They're like, can we get McDonald's and can

31:34

I get 10 nuggets? And I'm like, no, go

31:39

home and have, I'll make you some chicken.

31:42

Right. All right.

31:44

So what's the most unexpected thing you've experienced

31:46

in your carnivore journey so far? What did you not expect?

31:49

Maybe a benefit or something that just

31:51

happened. You're like, wow, I can't believe that. Maybe

31:53

you didn't even recognize, realize like my allergies

31:55

went away. Which I didn't expect. So

31:58

I

31:59

didn't expect the inflammation to go away so

32:01

quickly. With my sciatic

32:03

arthritis, which is, you know, your joints. That

32:05

was like within a few months, I

32:07

couldn't get my wedding ring on for a little

32:09

while. Like I could get it on, but it was tight,

32:12

a bit like what you were saying. And I was like, Oh,

32:14

this is not good. And then as soon as I started

32:16

carnival, it was just, it's falling off now,

32:19

you know? So, that happened very quickly. I

32:21

couldn't believe how quickly my body got rid

32:23

of all this stuff and I felt so

32:25

much even lighter and just better.

32:27

But the mental thing was, A

32:29

real eye opener for me. Just feeling

32:31

clear and no brain fog. And that

32:34

was probably the most unexpected thing was that because

32:36

I wasn't expecting that at all. I just thought, oh, yeah,

32:38

you'll just, you know, your body will transform a

32:40

little bit. And, I might feel better

32:42

with my inflammation, but the brain fog

32:45

and the clarity was a really big bonus.

32:48

Yeah. Yeah. I agree. And I

32:50

totally understand that. Cause that's something I did

32:52

not expect either. I mean, I expected to lose weight.

32:54

I came, that's what I like to say, come for the weight

32:56

loss, stick around for the non scale victories because

32:58

there's so much better, but you don't get

33:01

to experience them until you try it. And the weight

33:03

loss is the sexy part that gets people in there

33:05

like, Oh, look at all the weight you've lost.

33:07

You look amazing, but the

33:09

way I feel is better than the way I look. I

33:11

guarantee you, I look amazing. Can't understand

33:14

how I feel because it's way better.

33:16

Yeah, that's great. Isn't it? It's a wonderful

33:18

feeling to not only feel good in your own skin,

33:20

but feel good in your own self.

33:22

I no longer wake up and have bad days. When I wake

33:24

up, I used to have days where I just wake up in a bad

33:26

mood or have a bad day. When I woke up, I just don't,

33:29

I don't wake up in a bad mood. I spring

33:31

open. I have energy. I still drink a

33:33

little coffee every now and then and stuff, but I don't

33:35

need it. I can just get up and go.

33:38

And I, when I wake up, I'm doing

33:40

tasks immediately. I feel like,

33:42

what can I do? I need to do something. It's

33:45

very motivating, isn't it? It's like just being

33:47

ultra motivated all the time. Yeah,

33:49

absolutely. I totally feel the same.

33:52

It's totally crazy.

33:53

It's not, and you know, I think that

33:56

that's transformative. And that's part of what we talk

33:58

about changing your identity. You become a different person,

34:00

kind

34:03

of the person we were designed to be, I think.

34:04

Absolutely. Yeah.

34:07

Let's talk about your YouTube channel. So you

34:09

have a YouTube channel and I'm going to share

34:11

it here. So why would you start

34:13

a YouTube channel? And

34:15

what are your goals and stuff with it? Let's talk about that.

34:18

Start. Let's talk about why you started. I

34:20

was a little

34:20

bit scared to start a YouTube channel because

34:22

I'm technically challenged with that sort of thing.

34:24

But I actually really felt so passionate

34:26

about sharing what I've been

34:29

through that I just thought what are the medium

34:31

or way can I share with people that. might

34:34

get out to a bigger audience apart from

34:36

Facebook and my Instagram, which is just personal

34:38

pages. And I just felt so

34:41

excited to share it straight away.

34:43

Like I think I shared my first little video

34:45

with that first week when I got back and started,

34:47

I was like, and it was probably very

34:50

over the top. And people thought I was crazy,

34:53

but I just didn't care. I'm like, I don't care.

34:55

I feel so good about this and I'm just going to share

34:57

it. And. I did get reactions from

34:59

people straight away, which was great. And

35:01

I've helped a few people already come, overcome

35:03

some amazing challenges with their mental

35:06

health and different things. And that just made me feel,

35:08

you know, That was worth doing.

35:10

It was worth doing to help someone with it. And,

35:13

I'm not doing it to sell anything

35:15

or do coaching or sell a program

35:17

or anything like that. I'm just doing it because I

35:19

just love helping people. And I think that comes

35:21

across when you're really passionate about it to

35:24

authentically want to just help people and share.

35:27

Yeah, and I've had discussions with other carnivores

35:29

about this and not all carnivores are that way. There are carnivores

35:32

that are doing this for money and doing this for Of course.

35:34

And that's fine,

35:36

they can do that. But there are a

35:38

lot of carnivores that don't, like I talked to Dr.

35:40

Chafee and I tell you that guy's one of the most genuine

35:42

guys you'll ever meet.

35:43

Yeah. All the

35:44

doctors really are, but Dr. Chafee He

35:46

basically did the YouTube channel because

35:48

he's running out of time. And he felt that he deserved

35:51

the people that ask questions, deserved more answers

35:54

than he could individually give them. So

35:56

he made a YouTube channel so that he could reach, he

35:58

just point them to that and they could find

36:00

out. And that's kind of my thing too.

36:03

I I saw an immediate, when I went carnivore

36:05

and started talking about it and my friends saw the difference

36:07

several veterans and several family members

36:10

did it too, and got the same experience.

36:12

And then I, and then other people I work with.

36:14

And then I heard from those people

36:17

that people I had never even met had changed

36:19

their lives based on the the third

36:21

party experience of this. So

36:23

I thought, wow, what if I did a YouTube channel?

36:25

I could reach more people. And and then

36:27

I started Mission Carnivore, which is, because the

36:29

mental health was so much better. I focused

36:31

it on the veterans and the first responders who have

36:34

a tremendous mental health challenge here

36:36

in America. I'm not sure if Australia is the same way. Okay.

36:38

But here it's really bad. So

36:41

yeah, yeah.

36:42

Yeah. So that was part of that too. And I know

36:45

I've actually met people now whose

36:47

lives changed based on having

36:49

this channel out there. So that's great. That's the goal,

36:51

right?

36:52

It's fantastic. Yeah. And you're touching so many people

36:54

in so many lives in so many different ways.

36:56

There's no way to do it otherwise. And we need to get this message

36:59

out. We need more voices like yours, like mine,

37:01

like others. Even my little channel,

37:03

if it helps someone, that's all, and it can just

37:05

keep spreading. We can all spread it together, it just

37:07

becomes stronger and stronger.

37:09

Yeah, because the problem is we're up against mega

37:12

corporations and the government and the governments

37:14

and the media and the media is paid for and the government's

37:16

paid for by these corporations, they're

37:18

sponsoring it. The government, politicians are

37:20

being bought or supported

37:23

by these major corporations and

37:25

we have the food and drug administration, which

37:28

is paid for by the corporations that they

37:30

monitor, which, you know, it's crazy to me,

37:32

but I'm sure in Australia, something similar. And

37:35

they work together hand in hand. The food companies

37:37

make you just sick enough to not die right away.

37:40

And then the drug companies come and

37:42

I see all these drugs that are all it's so crazy.

37:44

They're all these what do you call it? I'm trying to

37:46

think of the word. They're the autoimmune system.

37:49

They're always autoimmune conditions that I don't

37:51

remember growing up with. And now they're everyone.

37:56

Yeah. And there's all these drugs that and if you watch.

37:58

Every drug they hawk on the, on

38:00

TV will say, take this. It'll take

38:02

care of this skin condition or this hair

38:05

loss condition, but you

38:07

may not be able to fight infections well. That's

38:09

tell me right there. It's an autoimmune issue. If

38:11

it's attacking your immune system,

38:13

your immune system is attacking your body because your

38:15

body is inflamed and poisoned and

38:17

it doesn't get overwhelmed. And all you have to do is

38:19

get the poison out of your body and you're going to be fine, I

38:21

think for most people.

38:22

Exactly. It's dysfunctioning. Your body's not.

38:25

Functioning properly because of that. And it needs to get

38:27

rid of it. Absolutely. Yeah. I

38:29

think that that when I started doing the research

38:31

on carnivore and listening to the history

38:33

and about the industries and how that's

38:36

all happening with people being paid off and

38:38

the whole thing with the sugar and all that sort of stuff,

38:41

I think it made me a bit angry. And I was like,

38:43

this is why do we not know this?

38:45

Like all these, how do people not know about

38:47

this? It's sort of like we've been tricked into. Believing

38:50

all this stuff about nutrition. And I think that

38:52

was my other big thing that made me passionate to share.

38:55

It was people need to know

38:57

about this and why and how it's happened

38:59

and hear the true story and and then

39:01

make their own decision up about it. Because

39:03

I think if more people understood that they might

39:05

go, Ooh, I didn't know that, you know, maybe

39:07

I shouldn't feed my kids that or yeah.

39:10

And a lot of people's eyes have been opened by recent

39:13

medical events. We'll call them global

39:15

medical events and their eyes have been open

39:17

to the corporate. influence

39:20

on the truth. I will put it that way. And

39:23

I think that this is a good time because

39:25

the ground is fertile. It's the same story.

39:28

It hasn't changed. It's just that event shed

39:30

light on things that we didn't realize. I think I always

39:33

trusted, a lot of these authorities

39:35

I did and I thought I could, and

39:37

now I know I can't, you know, and

39:38

yeah, you know, I thought

39:40

certain areas I couldn't, certain areas I couldn't.

39:42

Now it's just, okay, I just can't. These are not trustworthy

39:44

people and we need to. Find

39:47

our own truth. And actually the truth's out there, it's published,

39:49

it's in papers it's in you know, the bel

39:51

the Belmont study or the Bellevue study,

39:53

I'm sorry, the Bellevue study with low carb,

39:56

meat eating in this, with the OT Warburg

39:58

doing the cancer studies. There's all these studies and then there's

40:00

co current studies too. So there's so much science

40:02

out there that you can go to

40:04

and actually read hard science on this. It's great.

40:08

So

40:09

what are your goals on your YouTube channel? What do you want your

40:11

YouTube channel to do? What would be a successful channel

40:13

for you?

40:14

I think that's a new thing. I haven't given it a

40:16

lot of thought. I think I'd like to be able to reach more

40:19

people and have more people really

40:21

have a look at it and get a really candid view

40:23

of what it's about. And just sort of, uh,

40:26

you know, open people's eyes up to at least

40:28

having a look at what it is. Because I think

40:30

my background was very plant based

40:32

at one stage. I was never vegetarian or

40:34

vegan, but it was plant based and it was

40:37

all based around, whole foods and that

40:39

sort of thing. And I think a lot of people

40:41

just think that's the only way. And I

40:43

think if people can hear other people's stories

40:45

and identify with,

40:47

Oh, that was me or that's me now. And

40:50

why didn't that work? I think. Just touching

40:52

more people and increasing people coming

40:54

in just to listen. I think that would,

40:56

especially mums as well, I think mums

40:59

need to look after themselves more and I think

41:01

we don't do that very well. I think

41:03

they, You know that we tend to put a lot of people

41:05

first and not look after ourselves. So that's I

41:08

can reach the audience to help them feel

41:10

better about themselves and be healthy

41:12

and be able to take care of their families

41:14

better. I think that's mental health

41:17

and physical health is it goes hand

41:19

in hand. Yeah, I think just trying to reach more people

41:22

and just get out there a little bit more. That would

41:24

be my goal. I don't have a number or anything,

41:26

but

41:26

right. No, that's good. That's good. And that's

41:29

You know, getting the truth out. This is like I said, this is

41:31

the grassroots movement. This is the way you get,

41:34

you can join the fight by either

41:36

making videos. And if you're not a YouTuber, then

41:39

you should definitely find YouTubers or new

41:41

like Kendall here and join their

41:43

channels and support them and get this message

41:45

out because we have to drive the algorithm and we're

41:47

in charge on that. We drive the algorithm and

41:49

we do that by as soon as a video is published.

41:52

If you are subscribed, first off, like

41:55

and subscribe, like videos, subscribe

41:57

to them. And then when, and then

41:59

make sure you hit that notification bell so

42:01

that you always get the notifications. As soon as you get

42:03

them, the first hour is the golden hour

42:05

because YouTube publishes that

42:08

video to those people first that are subscribed

42:10

to you. And then they determine, well, how

42:12

did their own subscribers react to this video before

42:14

they share it? And if your own subscribers

42:17

can't bother to watch it in the first hour, your

42:20

odds of getting shared out by

42:22

YouTube algorithm are pretty low. So

42:24

if you ever see a video pop up, I have certain

42:26

people that always jump on and put a comment

42:28

in there and like a thumbs up. And

42:31

if you're, if you, so if you're subscribed to a YouTuber

42:33

and you like their content, you think it's important that it gets

42:35

out, you need to jump in and

42:37

like, and subscribe as soon as you get a notification

42:39

that video has been put out, it really helps

42:41

drive the algorithm in it. It could save someone's life.

42:44

It saved my life. I don't know if it's that drastic

42:46

for you, but for me, it actually saved my life

42:48

because my life was not in a good

42:50

place. direction at all. And

42:52

yeah,

42:53

it's, it's completely changed it.

42:55

All right. That's great. I agree. Yep. So

42:58

it's not like little stuff. These YouTube channels are

43:00

pretty big. I think they're they have a huge amount

43:03

of impacts. Yeah.

43:05

So I don't know if you've seen my video

43:07

about why, and we, you talked about why

43:10

I think, I think I did say, yeah,

43:11

yeah. And the, why is the huge thing,

43:13

right? And losing 13 pounds for

43:15

spring break is not a wide. That's

43:19

not, that's not a why that's all

43:22

right. And you can, that may be something fun to do, but

43:24

it's not enough to change your whole life. So

43:26

you really need to get a real wine. I hear people

43:28

say, well, I could never do this or I could never

43:30

do that. When they talk about, I could never

43:33

give up vegetable. I could never give

43:35

up alcohol, whatever that is sugar. I

43:37

could never, ever. Right. And

43:39

I point to them to my video where I talk

43:42

about an escrow account. Did you see the escrow

43:44

account video? Yes. I

43:45

did hear you talking about that. Yes. Where did they

43:47

get the money? If they do it,

43:50

if that person said I could never

43:52

do X, let's say it's never not

43:54

eat a salad. Right. Uh, well,

43:57

if I wrote you a 25, 000 check and

43:59

put it in an escrow account, And

44:01

I was able to accompany you for a month.

44:04

And if you ate that salad, you didn't get it. But if you

44:06

went through and didn't eat any salad, didn't eat any

44:08

vegetable for a month, you'd get 25,

44:11

000. You'd have no problem. You'd have, you'd

44:13

be able to sit in a Thanksgiving dinner or

44:15

even Christmas dinner and not eat any

44:17

sweets. if that was part of the d

44:19

25, 000 waiting for you.

44:23

that's your why. Right? A complete

44:25

faith. And the o faith in the diets

44:28

becaus have failed us. I don't k

44:30

being a fitness person, y

44:34

I did. Oh, mad. I

44:36

did alternate day fasting. I

44:39

did. What? Atkins. I did

44:41

all kinds of diets and they all worked for a

44:43

while, but they all failed.

44:45

And this is the first one that didn't. So

44:47

I think there's the belief in the diet system

44:49

that's not there. And then there's the why that's

44:51

not there. And you get those two of Miriam. You're a

44:53

super superhero, right?

44:55

Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I think people

44:57

think it's a fat and it's not a fat. As you said,

44:59

it's not just a lifestyle. It's like

45:01

a whole change. Like it changes you and transforms

45:04

you totally. It's not just the diet and

45:06

the extrinsic. It's the intrinsic

45:09

as well. Like a hand in hand.

45:11

Yeah. And so right now, I'm sure if I offered

45:13

you 25, 000, you wouldn't switch back to

45:15

a standard diet. I

45:17

absolutely not.

45:22

There's no way someone could offer me enough money

45:24

to get me to go back. There's no way it

45:26

wouldn't happen because I'll make more money than that

45:28

going forward. A, because I'm totally productive

45:30

in my career. Exactly. Everything now I'm and

45:33

on top of that it's just I don't wanna

45:35

ever be sick like that again. I was so sick

45:38

and now I'm, I've experienced

45:40

what Right. Feels like. And

45:42

I had not experienced that. And once you experience

45:44

that, you can't unsee what you've

45:46

seen. And that's the thing. And you can't

45:48

unlearn what you've learned.

45:50

That's right. You don't want to ever go back.

45:52

No, you don't. And this is why it's so important

45:55

to have a partner like your husband, which is

45:57

great. Who's on board with it a hundred percent,

45:59

which that's what you really need. I think I would

46:01

love to have that. And that's what I seek in a partner.

46:04

I

46:04

think it helps because you can do it together and you encourage

46:07

each other and you both feel good together. I

46:09

think it's, it is really, really, really

46:11

cool.

46:12

Let's talk about your carnivore wedding real quick, because

46:14

that's so cool that you had actually a carnivore

46:16

wedding. So this is something I have to consider because

46:18

one day I hope to get married again, this is something else I

46:21

never thought I'd plan, but now I do plan

46:23

on one day being married again, having a family

46:25

again, and I want to have a carnivore

46:27

wedding. So what was it like Kendall? What'd you guys

46:29

do?

46:29

Well, we were already carnivore and we're like, well,

46:32

we're definitely going to pick

46:34

the menu. We went and handpicked, actually I picked

46:36

the menu and I went into, it was at a restaurant, so

46:38

it was very small and intimate. So, the food

46:40

is amazing and we've eaten there before.

46:42

So I just picked everything protein that

46:44

I could possibly pick from, entrees,

46:46

or you guys call them appetizers, mains.

46:49

I picked as many meats and fish as

46:51

I could possibly pick. And

46:53

and of course we had to have some sides of, chapped

46:55

potatoes and they had a few salads and things,

46:58

but apart from that, we just chose as

47:00

much meat as we could. And it

47:02

was amazing. Like we just ate what we wanted to from

47:04

it and everyone was happy. Everyone

47:06

loved the food because they could still have their extra

47:09

stuff with it. And it all got served up in

47:11

big bowls and they just sort of serve everybody

47:13

a little bit of everything. We had 23 people.

47:15

So it was like really intimate and small. We

47:18

did have a cake and I did choose a croquembouche,

47:21

which is a like profiterole. They're

47:23

like, pastry puffs

47:26

filled with this beautiful cream sort

47:28

of custody cream. So it was creamy.

47:30

So it was real on there. It was made from a

47:32

Greek baker. So they would have made

47:34

all beautiful home, you know, proper ingredients.

47:36

So that was, we did only have one each and

47:39

we were happy to have that one bit of a little, we

47:42

had one each and we might've had half the next

47:44

day, but we didn't overindulge. And but

47:46

we had a fantastic time and we

47:48

had a few glasses of champagne, but we didn't go over the

47:50

top. So we enjoyed ourselves. We ate

47:52

really good food, but we still really stuck to

47:55

the main principle of just eating the meat, no

47:57

veggies, no, no carbs. And

47:59

it was fantastic. We had the time of our lives.

48:02

It was great. And everyone was wonderful to be

48:04

around and they didn't care what we were

48:06

eating and what we weren't eating. So it was brilliant.

48:09

It was really, really good.

48:10

That's good news. That's great. That's that's what sounds

48:12

like something I would plan. I would probably

48:14

pick somewhere that's a barbecue place here

48:16

in Texas.

48:17

If you can, that would be better.

48:19

Yeah, yeah, I mean, because they have like, because

48:21

then you can just get all the meat you want. If people want to order sides,

48:24

they can. But I mean, I'm, you know.

48:25

Exactly, exactly. No, it was

48:27

wonderful. And everyone had a great time. That was

48:29

the best part. Yeah, it was a great time.

48:32

Yeah, that's

48:34

great. And that's good news. And that's something I'd

48:37

like to plan if and when

48:39

I get married in the future. That's what I would like to

48:41

do. So, you know, it's one thing I love

48:43

talking to Australians. I think Australians and

48:45

Texans have a lot in common. We're rugged individual

48:47

people in a harshing environment, and

48:50

we know how to take care of ourselves. We

48:52

have sayings that here, like, no one's going to, no one's

48:54

coming. You have to self rescue. That's kind of the way

48:56

we live, right? And, um, yes,

48:58

exactly.

48:59

Yeah. So I love this attitude. You have

49:01

Kendall. I think it's great. Glad to hear you

49:03

and your husband are doing awesome. And thank

49:05

you.

49:06

Let me talk about. How

49:08

people can get in contact with you. I know at

49:10

Carnivore Kendall is your YouTube,

49:13

49:14

49:16

49:22

49:27

49:30

I do have Facebook

49:31

49:33

49:37

that through to you. And people can find me on Instagram

49:40

49:43

Kendall. I think Kendall Hanley on Facebook

49:45

and Kendall FX on Instagram.

49:48

And you're a fitness coach, you said?

49:50

Not practicing anymore, but just myself,

49:53

just working on myself now. So, yeah,

49:55

that, that's, um, I was a qualified, I'm a

49:57

qualified personal trainer. So that's what I did for

49:59

a few years as well. But now just training myself.

50:02

I see, well, I see your videos. You do the full

50:04

body workout videos and stuff.

50:06

Yeah, I try and pop them up for people so they can

50:08

follow along if they want to help themselves, follow

50:10

along and get fit on my channel as well.

50:12

So there's all free workouts on there as well.

50:15

Yeah, that's super. I try to do them

50:16

every week.

50:17

I tell people like, you're gonna, so one

50:19

of the things I tell people is when you start this diet, you're gonna

50:22

feel this surge of energy,

50:24

and you're gonna feel motivation to do something,

50:26

and you need to take that motivation and apply

50:29

it to, I started just walking and

50:31

then move my weight to sprinting and lifting

50:33

weights and all that. But I did, but I

50:35

had to do something. I couldn't just sit around and

50:38

you'll feel that way. You'll feel antsy. I guess you call it antsy.

50:41

I just felt like I had to do something. So I built

50:43

a brick wall

50:45

up in the front garden around a garden

50:47

and I put new soil and put roses in yard

50:49

work that because, and it's

50:52

backbreaking work, but I felt amazing doing

50:54

it.

50:54

Yeah,

50:56

good old

50:56

fashioned functional movement, you know,

50:59

didn't get sore. And the thing was, I used to get

51:01

sore like that. That would kill me the next day.

51:03

I'd be laying on the couch back when

51:05

I was on the normal.

51:06

Wow.

51:07

Do you feel, do you find that too? You have less inflammation

51:09

when you do your workouts.

51:10

Absolutely. I'm not a sore not a

51:12

sore at all and always got energy and

51:14

I'm excited like to get up and I get up at five

51:16

every morning, so I'm like an early riser

51:18

and I just love it and I'm excited.

51:20

Like. Sometimes, you know, every now and then if you have

51:22

a late night, you might be a bit tired, but you've definitely

51:25

got that energy where you're just raring

51:27

to get up and get the day going and take

51:29

these days, the day early. It's

51:31

wonderful. Absolutely. The soreness

51:34

I experienced now is, is the good sore.

51:36

It's like, Oh, I had a workout. I can feel that. That

51:38

feels good. You know, it's not like, Oh,

51:41

I can't barely sit on the toilet because my legs,

51:44

I mean, you know how it is. Absolutely.

51:46

My partner, the husband says it all the time. He said,

51:48

no, I don't have to lean down and sit down and put my

51:51

socks. So I can actually do it without doing that.

51:53

And I feel like so much better. So

51:56

when I was

51:56

heavy, I couldn't even put, I couldn't even tie my shoes

51:58

without losing my breath. That's how bad I was

52:01

so sad. Right. And to be, and I

52:03

say this all the time. I felt like less of a man

52:06

because I wasn't, I felt like I wasn't

52:08

fit like I used to be, cause I used to be right. I

52:10

used to be, I had these. memories of how

52:12

I used to be and then how I was going and

52:14

my future looked worse than it did. And now

52:17

I think my, this is something I've heard a

52:19

pastor talked to me about. He said, once your vision

52:21

for your future, or once your

52:23

memories of your past are greater than your vision

52:25

for your future, then God has no use for you. Basically

52:28

you're living in the past and you have

52:30

no contribution to society

52:32

or your family or anything. And I think I was

52:34

in that phase and now I'm, my vision

52:36

for my future is way, way out and it's

52:38

way bigger.

52:39

Yeah. And YouTube's part of

52:41

it and meeting people like you. This is so fun to meet

52:43

people all over the world and have this. Yeah.

52:46

It's

52:46

a wonderful thing. I'm really excited. I just

52:48

hope we can reach more and more people and. Get

52:51

people listening and joining in and all

52:53

that. It's fantastic what you're doing as well.

52:55

So it's, I'm very excited to

52:57

be here and be able to talk to you.

53:00

Yeah. Well, thanks for stopping by. We will, we will reach

53:02

more people. Kendall, you're going to be definitely a big part of this.

53:04

You keep sharing your information,

53:06

your studies, keep honing your skill as

53:09

a YouTuber and a carnivore

53:11

because carnivore is not just something you do

53:13

is something you get good at. And it

53:15

takes time. You

53:17

have

53:18

to do your N equals one experience and learn your

53:20

body. My body's different than yours, Kendall and your husband's.

53:23

And what I do and works for me may

53:25

not work for you exactly. Although the general guidelines

53:28

and best practices are going to work, but

53:31

we're all different. And at the end of the day,

53:33

we are, I'm going to drop you out. I'm going to say goodbye

53:35

and end the video, but you can stick around and I'll share those

53:38

the things we talked

53:39

about on

53:40

YouTube, right? All

53:42

right, guys, thanks for stopping by. It's

53:44

been a great podcast. Kendall's fantastic.

53:47

Check her channel out for sure. All I

53:49

gotta say now is stay strong and overcome

53:51

carnivore soldier out.
