The Carnivore Code AMA (Ask Me Anything) from Ben Greenfield Episode!

The second edition of The Carnivore Code is now live in print, ebook, and audiobook formats!  www.Thecarnivorecodebook.com to order! 

Heart & Soil is also now a reality! This is my passion company founded to help a few million more people reclaim their ancestral birthright to radical health through nose to tail nutrition. We are making grass fed, grass finished desiccated organ capsules from regenerative farms in New Zealand. Check us out at: www.heartandsoilsupplements.com 

In this AMA episode I answer questions from Ben Greenfield about my book, The Carnivore Code. It’s a deep dive into much of the science of an animal-based way eating. Prepare to learn a ton!
