May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in this episode, Amber O’Hearn, The Carnivore Queen, joins Yogi to discuss how a carnivore diet helped her Bipolar Disorder and how meat has helped her brain. We discuss how vegetables can be harmful to some people’s health, how fat affects brain development, and how humans evolved to eat meat as a cornerstone of the diet. This is the first of a two part episode, and be sure to listen to the conclusion in episode 37.
L. Amber O’Hearn has an eclectic background, with academic publications in several fields including theoretical mathematics, cognitive psychology, computational linguistics, and more recently, evolutionary nutrition and biology. She has been studying and experimenting with low-carb, ketogenic diets since 1997, and is particularly interested in evolutionary constraints and inter-species differences. Amber has been eating a nearly plant-free diet since 2009.
