But look it, this is not disorder. There are incredibly complex cellular processes happening in you and I as we sit across this room. We are breaking entropy, and physicists will say that because we're producing heat, the overall amount of entropy in the system is still going up. But you and I are are bounded, we are membrane-bound organisms that are fighting against entropy.
And the way that we fight against disorganization is with ATP. When a human dies, the body decays. What's different? We may say the soul, but also cellular energy production is not happening in a human that's dead, right? And that person is buried or cremated or something. But a dead animal is the same thing. The animal starts rotting.
If we do not make energy in our cells, we begin decaying in the same way. We begin dying. We need this energy. And that is what this is all about, metabolic health, the ability of your mitochondria to make energy. And so many of the ingredients in these processed foods, whether it's dyes or things that disrupt our gut microbiome or seed oils, directly impair energy production in the mitochondria.
And so saying to someone, Coca-Cola's global energy balance network says, it's okay to drink Coca-Cola, just make sure you get a walk-in. That's sinister. That's nefarious. That's how these companies are working against us and brainwashing us and our children into thinking all foods fit. It's okay to feed your children Oreos. just make sure they get some green beans on the side.
But what we're not being honest about is how the ingredients in the Oreos, the ingredients in the Doritos, the Takis, whatever, are actually poisonous for humans. And the quality of the calories in impairs your ability to do calories out. So that's the equation that people will come back to online. Calories in, calories out. Yes, it works thermodynamically, but the quality of the food we eat
affects how much energy we can make on the back end. And that's where we've really gone wrong. Because believe me, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kraft, Nestle, Nabisco, Conagra, they do not want you to eat quality food. They want you to eat their ultra-processed food, which is cheaper, has a better shelf life, and has more of a profit margin for them. They don't want you to eat a banana.
They don't even want you to eat oatmeal. They want you to eat an oatmeal cookie or a banana-flavored gummy bear, right? Something like this. Or they don't want you to eat meat. They want you to eat a plant-based alternative. Or they want you to eat an ultra-processed meat thing at a restaurant or something. So this is the problem, is that the quality of food is paramount.
And we've really, really been misled. And I think it's a concerted effort. I think it's an intentional misleading of humans to confuse us. And that's really bad. But I think that the way forward is very simple. Returning to high-quality food, and we can drill down on what I think is best for humans. We've talked a little bit about the spectrum of meats already.
Returning to high-quality food solves these problems. And this is what I wasn't taught in medical school, but it's why I do what I do today, because I have seen and met and talked to online now thousands, if not tens of thousands of people who have had their chronic illnesses reversed by changing the quality of the foods they eat. Diseases that I was taught in medical school were incurable.
Name a couple of the chronic illnesses you've seen reversed. Diabetes, obesity, depression, suicidality. I personally had eczema that I reversed by changing my diet.
Eczema is a skin condition with like itchy, bumpy skin, psoriasis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis. So I've met people who said their doctor wanted to surgically remove their colon. In ulcerative colitis, we often physically scar people for life. We remove the colon. Some people who have ulcerative colitis end up with a colostomy bag.
which is how medicine treats this. And if they need it, they need it. But that's very difficult for someone to live their life. Imagine dating, you know, or living your life with a colostomy back. But I've met people who said, my doctor wanted to operate on my colon and I changed my diet. They did a carnivore diet or an animal-based diet, which is basically meat plus fruit.
and they no longer need a colectomy or a colostomy back.
Is this months? It happens in weeks to months. Weeks to months? Weeks to months, depending on the condition, yeah. Weeks to months. Wow. It doesn't even take that long. The human body is very malleable. And it doesn't happen overnight, right? It's not, you know, you skip one meal, right? But it happens within weeks to months.
Some people it takes a year or so, but some of the most striking ones are the psychiatric illnesses, bipolar, suicidality, psychosis, depression, because those affect so much else in people's lives. Infertility, I mean, this is one of the most, you know, endearing things is when a couple wants to have a child and they try everything and then they just change their diet.
maybe adding in some organs and suddenly they can have babies. Wow. That's amazing. Wow. Healthy babies too. Wow. And I mean, the list goes on. It's almost, if you can name a medical condition, I can find you a case study of someone that I've met or talked to that has almost certainly reversed it with their diet. Now, I want to be clear to clarify this. It doesn't work in everyone 100%, right?
But what I've seen, I think, is nothing short of miraculous. And everyone is complex. Sometimes people have other things going on in their life that are beyond food. They have traumatic things. They have trauma in their past. They live in a very toxic environment.
Sometimes if someone is living in a moldy building, right, and they have brain fog, they're going to need to do more than change their diet. So I'm not saying that changing your diet cures everyone of everything 100%, but what bigger lever? And I was never taught about this in medical school. And so it's cool to get to do this work and to see these people.
And living in Costa Rica, one of the downsides is I don't meet people in person. When I see a comment on a thread or something I've done online that said, hey, this really helped me, I think that's great. But having the person walk up to me every single time I smile. And I think like, tell me your story. What happened? And that keeps me doing what I do because that means so much to me.
And there's so many stories of people. And sometimes, you know, I don't think that a carnivore or an animal-based diet are the only ways to do that. I think broadly, improving food quality is the first step. And some people with autoimmune disease need to really clarify and intentionally choose foods, and they have to go carnivore or animal-based. Not everyone needs to go that far, but not...
