What if you were told your heart failure was irreversible — and then you proved them wrong?
In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Kerry Mann, filmmaker and director of the documentary Healing Humanity, to talk about how he completely reversed his heart failure through the Carnivore Diet and lifestyle.
Kerry shares how he first discovered Carnivore, what his early journey looked like, and how his latest bloodwork and CAC scans show measurable, documented reversal of heart disease risk. His story is living proof that real, animal-based nutrition can heal the body from the inside out.
We also talk about his work behind the camera — directing Healing Humanity, a powerful documentary highlighting real transformations happening in the Carnivore community.
If you’ve ever doubted that diet alone can restore your health, this episode will change your mind.

🔍 What really happened with the KETO-CTA trial?
In this episode of Meat Matters, I’m joined by Dave Feldman, Dr. Nick Norwitz, and Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota — the team behind the groundbreaking KETO-CTA study, which used CT angiography to look directly at plaque in people following a ketogenic diet.
After irregularities were discovered in the Cleerly AI analysis of the original 200 scans, the researchers decided to commission independent re-analyses of the same data. The results? Cleerly’s data stood out as a major outlier — not only compared to the other analyses, but to any similar study ever published. Yet, the company is currently refusing to perform a quality-control review of its own work.
In this conversation, Dave, Nick, and Adrian unpack:
👉 What really happened behind the scenes with the KETO-CTA dataset
👉 Why Cleerly’s results don’t align with the independent analyses
👉 The controversy surrounding their April 7th paper
👉 What they’ve learned through this entire process
👉 And what’s coming next for their research team
This is the first time all three of these guys have been on one show together, and it’s a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this conversation, I speak with Britt James about her journey through nutrition, weight loss, and health challenges. Britt opens up about dealing with histamine issues and the frustrations of trying to reintroduce carbs without much success, which often led her back to a carnivore approach. She shares her experiences with different diets, including ketogenic and carnivore, and highlights the importance of mindset and simplicity in reaching health goals. We also dive into the role of exercise, the mental toll of ongoing health struggles, and the nuances of dietary choices, including the use of GLP-1 medications. Throughout, the conversation underscores the need for individualization in diet and the importance of truly listening to and understanding one’s body.
Takeaways:
* Britt struggled with weight from a young age.
* Her journey led her to explore various diets, including keto and carnivore.
* Histamine issues added another layer of difficulty to her food choices.
* She struggled to reintroduce carbs successfully, often reverting back to carnivore.

* The environment and toxins play a significant role in health.
* Finding what works for you is essential in any dietary approach.

We also explore how the Carnivore Diet fits into this bigger picture, why consumers should care about where their beef comes from, and the changes needed to strengthen our food system for the future.

Today I'm sitting down with longtime health coach Craig Emmerich to talk about something that’s not often discussed in the keto and carnivore communities: lipotoxicity—a hidden obstacle that could be sabotaging your health goals, especially if you're eating more fat to try to get healthier.
Craig reached out after watching my interview with Dr. Nadir Ali on lipotoxicity, saying he’s witnessed this phenomenon repeatedly in his own long-term coaching practice. In this episode, we dive deep into:
✅ Craig’s background, education, and how long he’s been coaching
✅ What lipotoxicity is and how it shows up in real-world clients
✅ Why some people don’t thrive on high-fat low-carb diets
✅ The percentage of people in Craig’s practice who experience signs of lipotoxicity
✅ How people become lipotoxic before they ever go keto or carnivore

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with circadian optimization coach Zaid Dahhaj to explore the science of circadian biology and how it impacts your energy, sleep, hormones, and overall metabolic health. We dive into the truth about sunglasses, blue light blockers, and the often-misunderstood link between sunlight and cancer. Zaid breaks down actionable techniques to reset your internal clock—from morning sunlight exposure to strategic light management—and shares powerful insights on aligning your daily habits with your body’s natural rhythm. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, or chronic inflammation, this episode offers a roadmap to reclaim your health through the lens of circadian alignment.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Nadir Ali, an interventional cardiologist with over 30 years of experience and a strong advocate for low-carb, high-fat nutrition to combat metabolic disease, diabetes, and heart disease. We dive into the concept of Lipotoxicity—what it is, how to detect it, and what to do if you're experiencing it. We also discuss practical treatment approaches including fasting, diet, and exercise, and whether a high-fat carnivore diet is the right choice. This is a must-listen for anyone struggling with metabolic health. Be sure to subscribe and leave a five-star rating to help spread this vital information!

In this episode of Meat Matters with Jenny Mitich, I chat with Dr. Lisa Wiedeman, an optometric physician with over 30 years of experience who’s been living a carnivore lifestyle since 2009. Her YouTube channel, The Carnivore Doctor, was one of the first I ever followed when I started my own journey — and we finally met in person at a Healing Humanity Meat-Up!
We cover:
*How she got started with carnivore
* The role nutrition plays in eye health
* Overcoming food addiction and cravings
* Her thoughts on coffee and healing
* Lifestyle habits for metabolic health
* And her Carb-Sober Cruises*— one of which my husband and I are joining this fall!
