• #984 The Great Blue Zones Deception: Why the World’s Longest-Lived People Actually Thrive on Meat, Animal Fat & Seasonal Eating with Mary Ruddick

  Mary’s Healing Journey: Once bedridden with dysautonomia, Mary reversed her condition through ancestral nutrition, high-fat animal foods, and nervous system restoration. 🌍 Debunking Blue Zone Myths: Mary lived in every Blue Zone and confirms they're not plant-based. Animal fats, organ meats, and seasonal animal products are staples. Even vegetables are cooked in lard, tallow, or butter. She exposes the flawed data and cultural misunderstandings behind Blue Zone studies and Dan Buettner’s conclusions. 🥦 The Truth About Plant Toxins: Plants have complex chemical defense systems (oxalates, lectins, phytates). Historical cultures processed plants carefully — modern diets skip this, leading to gut damage and inflammation. Potatoes, corn, and nightshades require specific detox methods our ancestors mastered. 🧠 Gut Health & Microbiome Masterclass: Mary explains how gut bacteria placement matters more than just diversity. Fiber is non-essential; animal-based diets can improve microbiome health. The environment, light exposure, and mindset play a bigger role in microbiome shifts than food alone. Carnivore diets can increase beneficial bacteria and diversity—Ben shares his 90-day N=1 CGM and stool test experiment as proof. 🧪 Problems with Food Sensitivity Testing: Tests are unreliable and misleading. Food avoidance without gut healing just leads to more intolerances over time. ❤️ The Power of Traditional Diets: Modern food dogma has no historical or biological basis. Mary encourages returning to ancestral eating: nutrient-dense fats, organ meats, seasonal fare. Westerners must relearn what indigenous cultures never forgot.
