Scott Everson didn't start the largest carnivore conference in the world just to talk about steak. After years battling chronic pelvic pain syndrome, benzodiazepine dependency, and mast cell activation syndrome, he found something more powerful than any protocol: people.

In this conversation, Scott shares how social isolation preceded his illness, how carnivore helped him survive when he could only tolerate lion diet basics, and why he believes loneliness increases heart disease risk by 29% – comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily. He challenges common assumptions in the health space, from the heavy metals hiding in popular carnivore salts to why some people's cholesterol skyrockets on animal-based diets while others thrive.

This isn't another "carnivore cures everything" story. Scott openly discusses the limits of dietary intervention, the individualized nature of metabolic response, and his conviction that true healing requires more than what's on your plate. It demands connection, purpose, and belonging.

Dr. Philip Ovadia joins the discussion to explore why doctors rarely prescribe community, what happens when you're 99% carnivore versus 100%, and whether long-term carnivore is optimal or if we should consider reintroducing certain foods. They tackle lipotoxicity, microbiome misconceptions, and the danger of dogmatic thinking in any health movement.

Whether you're carnivore-curious, chronically ill, or just tired of feeling alone in your health journey, this conversation cuts through the noise to address what we're really hungry for.

BIG IDEA

Social isolation is the root cause of a lot of people's problems – it causes stress, inflammation, gut issues, and a cascade of health problems that no diet alone can fix.
