36. AMA#2: Acid/base balance, APOE4/FTO, omega-3s, carnivore diet types, the problem with broccoli and more!

It’s my book’s birthday week! The Carnivore Code has arrived! 

 

This week’s podcast is an intense AMA I did for Ben Greenfield’s show which I reposting here. As you can see from the time stamps, in this monologue I cover a LOT of ground and dig into many of the common questions which arise on a carnivore diet.
