Angela Lerro  Angela Lerro, also known as the Meat Based Medium, is a Medical Intuitive and Integrative Healer specializing in nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and mind-body wellness.  After navigating a lifelong journey with chronic illness, Angela discovered that a carnivore diet was a powerful missing piece in her own healing, complementing the mind-body, energetic, and intuitive work she had practiced for years.  Today, she brings these worlds together through a unique approach blending intuitive insight, energy healing, nervous system regulation, ancestral wellness principles, nutrition, and holistic health. With more than a decade of experience in transformational healing work, Angela helps individuals look beyond symptoms to explore the deeper physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that may be keeping them stuck.  At the heart of her work is the belief that healing isn’t about following one perfect diet or protocol, but learning to reconnect with the body, trust its signals, and become an active participant in your own healing. Her work explores the intersection of ancestral health, human optimization, consciousness, intuition, and emotional well-being.  Key Quote “I encourage people to look further than just the diet to heal them. Because most of the time, the answers aren’t just on our plate. They’re also in our soul.”  Angela Lerro    Angela’s Top Tips Trust the process. You may not see the results you’re looking for right at the beginning. Let go of your fears, have blind faith, and keep moving forward even when you feel like you want to go back.  Have grace with yourself. Love yourself through the difficult times. Have grace when you make a mistake, if you cheat on your diet, or if you’re not feeling optimal and need more rest. Think kind thoughts and speak kind thoughts.  Healing starts in the mind, and we are one decision away from living our best life. Everything you do is a decision. Ask yourself what’s stopping you from making a decision to do something better for you, and remember that not making a decision is a decision.    Resources Mentioned Billy Doe Meats – the farm in Illinois that sent Angela the non-aged lamb, goat and veal she could finally eat  Girdle Bridge Farm – where Angela got her fat while in England  Whole30 – the book Angela read before trying Whole30 for six months  Connect with Angela Lerro Instagram: @meatbasedmedium  Facebook: Angela Lerro  Facebook group: Histamine Intolerant Carnivores    Website  meatbasedmedium.com      The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Felix Mueller Felix Mueller is a health author, metabolic-health coach, and the founder of REVERSING PKD. Diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (more than 1 in 1000 people have it) at age 16, Felix spent years searching for ways to influence a condition he had been told was largely beyond his control. His research led him to therapeutic ketosis, fasting, metabolic flexibility, and the emerging science connecting mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, and abnormal cell growth. By applying these principles to his own life, Felix has seen significant improvements in his metabolic health and kidney-related markers, including a reduction in total kidney volume and much increased kidney function. He is the author of Reversing Polycystic Kidney Disease: The PKDproof Program, which includes more than 150 scientific references and a foreword by Dave Asprey. Through his book, podcast, online community, and one-to-one coaching, Felix helps people with PKD better understand nutrition, ketosis, fasting, protein intake, stress, environmental factors, and the practical realities of making sustainable lifestyle changes. Felix’s work combines scientific curiosity with lived experience. His mission is to challenge the idea that people with chronic disease are powerless, and to help them become active participants in their own health journey. Key Quote “It’s not really about chasing super high ketones. This is a marathon, not a sprint.” – Felix Mueller   Felix’s Top Tips Don’t chase super high ketones. If you’re doing this long term, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, so make it sustainable. Make nutrient density and high-quality protein your top priority. Replace the foods you remove instead of just restricting yourself, for example with keto versions of your treats, so you don’t feel deprived. If you have kidney issues and need to limit protein, replace some of it with amino acids. Prioritise sleep, and prioritise salt. Both make a big difference to your quality of life on a ketogenic diet.   Felix’s Books Reversing Polycystic Kidney Disease: The PKDproof Program: A low-carb, high-nutrient approach to kidney health   Resources Mentioned The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey Cancer Resolution by Mark Lintern Cancer as a Metabolic Disease by Thomas Seyfried Toxic by Dr Neil Nathan KetoFast by Dr Joseph Mercola Mycotox panel by Mosaic Diagnostics (urine test for mould) KetoneAid (ketone ester) Felix’s YouTube interviews with Thomas Seyfried and Mark Lintern: https://www.youtube.com/@REVERSINGPKD Connect with Felix Mueller Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086423605083 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/reversingpkd Instagram: https://instagram.com/reversingpkd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@REVERSINGPKD   Website  https://reversingpkd.com   The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Brendan Reesor Brendan is the author of Beyond The Pale, Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness & Gender Dysphoria. After seeing improvements to his own mental health and outlook on life, Brendan began to see a pattern around anemic pallor, plant-based diets, mental illness, woke ideology, and gender dysphoria. His work connects physical health, nutrition, and physiology to mental health, psychology, spirituality, emotions, philosophy and more. Brendan addresses the most important yet overlooked factor in mental illness: oxygen. There is simply nothing more important for the brain than oxygen, and it’s not easy to get enough of it delivered to the brain, especially when anemic. Brendan focuses on blood and oxygen to better understand diverse phenomena, including depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dissociation, nightmares, irrational thinking, blushing, mass hysterias, and more. Key Quote “It doesn’t matter how much of your RDA is on the package. It doesn’t matter if the spinach says that you’re getting so much iron. It’s just on paper. In reality, you’re not getting any of it.” — Brendan Reesor   Brendan’s Top Tips Learn to recognise and understand your symptoms — pallor, bruising, restless legs, hair and skin changes are all signals, not things to just shrug off. Eat more red meat, and avoid vegetables high in antinutrients (oxalates, tannins, soy protein, phytates) that block iron absorption. Don’t give up on yourself — improving your health is worth it, even if you never become “the perfect specimen.”   Brendan’s Books Beyond The Pale: Anemia, The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness & Gender Dysphoria   Connect with Brendan Reesor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brendan.reesor/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1194973812538756 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SubstituteProfessor   Website https://www.brendanjreesor.com/   The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.
