    BRINGING THE ENERGY! S2E46

    James Dawkins is a living Carnivore testimonial to good health and vibrant energy. I couldn’t stop smiling during our chat. He’s well-studied, and exudes a confident, positive strength that is infectious. Here’s what he has to say about the Carnivore diet: “I didn’t find the Carnivore diet — I uncovered it, piece by piece, while watching how disconnected we’ve become from real food. Kids don’t learn to cook. Adults don’t cook for their kids. The system feeds us carbs, sugars, and confusion — and then sells us the cure. I started questioning that. No processed food. No seed oils. No constant hunger cycles. Just real food — meat, eggs, butter, salt. The way our ancestors ate before disease was an industry. What happened next wasn’t a trend — it was a reset. Energy came back. Focus sharpened. The noise stopped. For me, Carnivore isn’t about restriction. It’s about reconnection — to how humans are meant to eat, move, and live. This isn’t rebellion against the system; it’s freedom from it”. Find James on Instagram and TikTok @jameseatscarnivore

She has lost weight, and her inflammation is gone, which cleared up other health issues. Sylvie has gained new confidence and clarity with Carnivore.
