Improved clarity, strength, grounding, and a renewed understanding of what works for his body. This conversation dives into: • Growing up vegetarian and struggling with weight • The link between spirituality and food choices • Cultural conditioning around meat and purity • Anthropology, biology, and human nutrition • Why listening to your body matters more than dogma This is not about ideology — it’s about curiosity, self-experimentation, and reclaiming personal health.

Free consult: https://harmonizely.com/sameer/optimize My guest today is Joseph Pitawanakwat. Now this was a really great conversation and it basically happened in two parts. The first part is about Joseph’s journey of rediscovering his culture’s traditional plant medicines and some of their applications. Joseph is particularly focussed on working with those suffering from addiction so we get into that in some detail. The second part of the discussion is about a meat based diet and how Joseph has been able to use carnivorous diets to reverse disease in some of the populations he works with in Ontario.

Book a free consultation: https://harmonizely.com/sameer/optimizeDr. Gary Fettke is a medical doctor in Australia who’s been practicing for 40 years. A few years ago Gary was facing a law suit for recommending that his diabetic patients not be given so much sugar. That led him down the rabbit hole of low carb and ancestrally appropriate diets but also it led him and his wife Belinda to research into the ideology of the food guidelines first in the USA and then in Australia and now around the world. Now if you’ve heard Dr. Fettke before I still want you to pay attention to this interview because we cover some ground that may be new for a lot of people. Particularly the question of how these guidelines and ways of eating are getting exported to developing countries around the world and why obesity rates in Pacific countries are the highest in the world.
