He’s been called the face of the carnivore movement but behind the headlines is a much bigger story about health, responsibility and challenging the systems that keep us sick.

This week I’m joined by Dr Shawn Baker, orthopedic surgeon, world class athlete and best selling author, whose radical approach to diet and lifestyle has put him at the centre of a global conversation. From his own health struggles to becoming a leading advocate for the all meat diet, Shawn’s mission is about more than food. It is about reclaiming control from industries and institutions that profit when people stay unwell.

Key moments include:

✔ How personal health problems pushed Shawn to challenge medical orthodoxy and start experimenting with the carnivore diet

✔ Why corporate profit models mean curing disease is rarely the priority and what that means for us as patients

✔ The cultural contradictions of Covid incentives from Krispy Kreme vouchers to Eat Out to Help Out

✔ The power of personal responsibility and why most of the public still resist it even when the truth is exposed

✔ What parents, entrepreneurs and high performers can do to take small practical steps toward lasting health

✔ Why nutrition science is often captured by vested interests and how to cut through the noise

✔ Shawn’s personal mission and why he believes this fight matters for the next generation

This is a conversation about health, freedom and truth and the choices we all face.
