Hi All
I’ve been thinking a lot about how we approach health and wellness here in The Meat Medic community. While nutrition (and meat, of course!) remains the foundation of optimal health, I’m exploring the idea of expanding into a more holistic approach to help you align all aspects of your lifestyle from diet to stress management, reducing toxins, and building habits that truly stick.
You may have noticed the small pivot in my recent video content.
I’m calling this concept Holistic Lifestyle Alignment, and it’s all about taking small, actionable steps to improve not just what we eat, but how we live. Think of it as enhancing the benefits of a clean, nutrient-dense diet by addressing things like:
Identifying and reducing hidden toxins in your home.
Managing stress to improve metabolic and mental health.
Building sustainable routines for long-term vitality.
Focussing on what really benefits busy professionals like you.
Building on the core keto/carnivore principles but making diet sustainable.
Before I dive deeper into creating content on this, I’d love your input.
Would you be interested in learning about topics like this?
What’s the biggest challenge you face outside of diet that might be holding back your health goals?
Your feedback will help shape this potential new direction, so please share your thoughts by commenting on this post.
Thanks as always for being part of this amazing community!
Stay healthy

As a person with an online community and learning center focused on emotions and empathy, I want to say that going too broad can pull you (as the creator) in too many directions. I ended up running four separate-but-connected businesses, and had to scale back.
What about partnering with people who specialise in certain areas, or hosting reading groups on books or approaches that the community can explore with you (and critique)? Building a community of expertise is also a way to help people develop their own autonomy and specialization, such that they can become touchstones for the entire group.
To answer your questions above, I'm concerned about the quality of information in the holistic sphere, because there's often a kind of allergy to research, and a love of what are basically marketing pitches masquerading as case studies, while the voices of people for whom the approach didn't work are nowhere to be found.
And the thing that is holding me back is the decade of iatrogenic harms that damaged and destabilised my entire GI system. For me, this way of eating is required, but still difficult to manage, and I've realized that what my body needs for health and what my GI system can process can be non-overlapping categories!

Yes, I agree.
Building an army of quality information and knowledgeable people! Heath is a multi-faceted journey and we need to approach body and mind in many different ways. It’s a whole package.
My interest is the heart, as I have stents and plaque yet I am a health freak! How does this happen? Always searching and grateful for Dr Suresh’s open mindedness .
I am a Bowen Therapy practitioner, Nutritionist and Yoga instructor, first drawn to these professions through the desire for my own best health and am able to share my 30+ years experience with my clients.
Always learning. Create new habits. Never give up.
