Is Jordan Peterson's Diet Crazy? Robert Kiltz, MD's Quick Take

Lots of people in mainstream medicine/nutrition/media think Jordan Peterson’s diet is absolutely bonkers and that he'll probably die early from heart disease because of it.

I’m here to tell you that what Dr. Peterson eats is actually the healthiest and most evolutionarily consistent diet for a human.

When you start to think about it, it becomes so blatantly obvious; à la Occam's razor.

What things have all the nutrients an animal needs to survive? The obvious answer is other animals.Plants on the other hand can not get up and run away, and most do not have thorns. They engage in chemical warfare to deter predation so they can grow and make plant babies.

Of course, there are vegetarian mammals, but their biology and digestive system are vastly different from ours.

🦠 Vegetarians have large fermentation centers that turn fiber into fatty acids. These can be ruminant animals (ie cows, lamb, elk, etc) with “multiple stomachs” or “single stomach” animals with very large large intestines (like apes).

Either way, these fermentation centers turn fiber into fat so even though they eat mostly plants, they get a vast majority of their calories from fat.

🧐 The ph of animal stomachs is largely based on the types of food the animal eats.

Scavengers have the lowest (most acidic) stomach acid, followed by carnivore, then omnivore, then herbivores.

Humans have a baseline pH of 1.5 which is akin to scavenger species and certainly not the pH of an omnivore or herbivore.

It’s not exactly clear when this evolved, but it likely means we evolved as scavengers for some time before hunting and killing our own prey.

🍀 Furthermore good luck beating birds and tree primates to fresh fruit, wild boars to tubers, or otherwise finding vegetation suitable for human consumption in the wild.

Yes, if this is the first time hearing this, it may sound crazy, but I’m telling you that as a medical doctor with over 30 years of practice, nothing has helped my patients heal and improve their fertility and so many other diseases like eating an #allmeatdiet, the #carnivorediet.

This guy is like the exact opposite of the vegan teacher

Not at all! That one video of Jordan changed my life! Literally that video, now 8 months later. 80 pounds down, hiking 12 miles with out feeling sore the next day and thriving after 35 way more then in my early 20s! That one Jordan video gave my life back! ❤️
I know not the best one but it was the one 😂

Crazy as a 🦊. And it simplifies grocery shopping and it greatly cuts food waste. And don’t even get me started on the physical & mental benefits.❤💃💃💃

[rubenchables]

I agree…100%…but i need to add a bit of pepper…😊

Recently added dates and green apples to my diet once in a while, might put spinach in an omelet once in a blue

[geoffreylevens]

The crazy part is that he hates his diet and sounds angry about it every time I"ve heard him mention it.

[priskamessie]

I started since a month almost (because of severe imflammation... arthritis) but cheated on the food several times. I'm trying from yesterday on to not get weak again on other food(cause at home there is everything...I'm the only one in my family doing it 🙏

[gdawgever]

Oh he’s far from crazy. One of the smartest men in the room most of the time.

[tracysmith]

He's not crazy, him and his daughter came by being hyper strict carnivore, due to numerous debilitating illness.

[mariosassiotis]

Hey doc, I would like to ask what’s your opinion on herps like ashwaganda or maca ?

[jjjc]

I thought that was Chad Smith for a second. I was like, “Chad Smith’s a carnivore?” Awesome! LOL!!!

[SUPER_JAVI]

I blend it all together, best smoothies I've had in my life.

[DudeWithADrone]

I've been carnivore for 6 years and then, my dumb ass I ate ice cream on holiday and then it was another ice cream then a beer then some hummus (I was in Israel) and then the cravings came back. I am starting to slowly regain all the health issues I once had so I am chalking it down to an experiment that I did and going back to carnivore. I even bought a Ninja woodfire grill so I can make my meat more interesting. Great to see there is another doc that eats this way and looking forward to watching your vids sir. Thanks :-)

[sadnlonelywithoutmydaughter]

I doubt that's what he eats
What about pepper and gar.ic and onion??

[loyalendeavor]

i like this channel and all but
1. the way this guy's giving out info without mentioning the source or any research that proves his claim is ambiguous which leaves me skeptical to whether hes got a point
2. popping up cartoony/childish photos which doesn't go with science/fitness related content, im just sayin make it more real people who click on your videos expect it to be more real
3.adding up to 2. yt delivers content to a wide range of infants meaning that content doesn't go where its desired, which is problem
4.this guy's/dr's way of speech doesn't fit a dr, i know that's kinda bizzare but all doctors tend to include basic term and procedures that take place in the body which send trust to the viewers that whoever we're watching knows what hes sayin.

[jimscarnivorekitchen]

Actually he doesn’t seem crazy at all.

[jordanbiird]

What do you think of CarnivoreMD?
It seems a lot of your views are probably very similar!

[adad]

Nonsense: I have never got the impression that Dr. Peterson hates / dislikes the Carnivore Diet.
Are you msking thngs up?
Blessings!

[timmiet]

Where will the vitally important missing vitamins such as C, the Bs etc come from?

[jacksonvance]

In my opinion, taking one man and using his diet, which he used to heal his inflammation, and use it to promote a healthy lifestyle without listing why that diet helped the man. Self promotion is all I see
