Carnivorist Chats Episode 46 with Coach Chris "Animal" Bates

Chris Bates is a lifestyle and wellness coach, and so much more. We first met at Keto Con 2023 and I knew I had to get him on the podcast. From the age of 18 "Bates" was addicted to experiments with diet and exercise. He has tried many of the diets out there, including veganism and even fruitarian for a time. After moving to Austin, Texas and joining the Heart & Soil crew, he settled on an animal-based way of eating and has seen amazing improvements in his physical and mental health since doing so. More recently, he has started his own successful coaching business and is even in the process of writing a book. We covered a lot of ground in this episode including - What his life was like growing up, some challenges he faced and his own "baseline of suck" - His philosophy on "failing forward" with all his experimentation in his dietary choices - His time working with Dr. Paul Saladino at Heart & Soil and his thoughts on including fruits and honey and animal-based eating - His "Trifecta of Wealth" physiological, psychological, and interpersonal - "Toggling" in today's society and what that means - Writing his first book and entering the "Garden Of Eden" zone to do so. - What it means to be "Reasonably Disagreeable" And much more ! This was a sincere and thought-provoking episode, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
