    Jordan Peterson's Son destroys carnivores

Transcript

Jordan Peterson's daughter just quit the carnivore diet after years. And it's because everybody quits the carnivore diet. They're able to fix symptoms and feel better when they go on it because they're eliminating everything that rank potentially cause problems. They're just eating something that's very easy to digest best red meat. So they get this huge boost as they start to feel better. And for the first few months, they're like, this is the best thing ever. This is amazing. And they start preaching about the carnivore tier, it's the best thing ever. And then it slowly starts to fade away. Their thyroid starts to down regulate. Their metabolism starts to get a little slower. Their liver starts to get a little insulin resistant, but it's slow enough they don't realize it right away. They're still riding that initial high of not having these symptoms or thinking they feel awesome. And then their hair starts to fall out, their eyebrows start to thin. And eventually for most of them, it becomes unavoidable that they feel worse. They can't hide it anymore. So then they start reintroducing new good, as they call it, things like fruit and honey. And then they start to feel better again. And they come back to me and they say, Reese, you were right all along because I am. The carnivore diet is stupid.
