Red Meat Isn't the Problem — THIS Is | Dr. Sten Ekberg

In this episode of Meat the Truth, I sit down with Dr. Sten Ekberg — former Olympic decathlete, a chiropractor who specializes in functional medicine, and one of YouTube’s leading voices in health education. We dig into the real science behind the foods our bodies were designed to eat, why chronic illness is skyrocketing, and whether carnivore might actually be the most natural way to eat — not the most extreme. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss if you’ve ever questioned the mainstream narrative about nutrition.

Why is red meat villainized today? 4:32 Is the explosion of chronic illness we’re seeing today because we’ve strayed so far from what we should be eating? 5:38 How do you decrease the toxin burden on your body? 8:15 Is carnivore too “extreme” or closely related to how our ancestors ate? 15:49 How does someone rebuild their gut bacteria so they can tolerate more foods again? 19:19 Dr. Ekberg’s experience with carnivore and his opinions on it 21:17 What does science really say about protein and fat being our body’s preferred energy source?
