Nose-to-tail nutrition, particularly desiccated organ supplements, is critical for reintroducing nutrients missing from modern diets.

Well SupportedAdequate riboflavin intake (e.g., 1.6mg, above RDA) may allow the MTHFR enzyme to function effectively, normalizing homocysteine levels even with the 677 C to T variant.

Well SupportedOverfeeding mice with methionine shortens their lifespan, and restricting methionine in mice extends their lifespan.

Well SupportedKeeping phones on airplane mode when not in use can mitigate potential risks from cell phone radiation.

Well SupportedVitamin K2 in animal products like eggs, meat, and liver may prevent heart disease by directing calcium deposition.

Well SupportedAnimal foods contain vitamin K2 (menaquinone), which is associated with improved longevity and cardiovascular health, unlike vitamin K1 found in plants.

Well SupportedAnimal foods are more bioavailable in terms of nutrients because they share the same operating system as humans.

Well SupportedPaul Saladino eats raw egg yolks and avoids egg whites.

Well SupportedLiver contains about half of the B vitamins not found in robust amounts in muscle meat.

Well SupportedVitamin D3 is vital for overall health, and K2 is important for cardiovascular health.

Well SupportedConsuming collagen with muscle meats can balance the inflammatory and anti-thyroid effects of certain amino acids.

Well SupportedHumans need a small amount of omega-3 in their diet, obtainable from animal fat sources.

Well SupportedKidney, heart, and liver are high in riboflavin (vitamin B2) compared to muscle meat.

Well SupportedOrgan meats like liver and kidney are necessary for obtaining adequate riboflavin, especially for those with MTHFR polymorphisms.

Well SupportedA starting dose for oral glycine is 3-5 grams at bedtime, which can be doubled to 10 grams if no effect is noticed.

Partially SupportedA recommended caloric ratio for a carnivore diet is two parts fat to one part protein.

Partially SupportedConsuming the whole animal, including organ meats and bones, is a strategy for thriving on a carnivore diet.

Partially SupportedSome individuals may experience significant problems tolerating plants, and removing them can lead to health improvements.

Not SupportedPlants contain toxins and do not serve a unique or necessary role in the human diet.

Partially SupportedBone meal can be consumed in doses of 0.5 to 1.5 tablespoons per day as a source of boron.

Partially SupportedOmega-3 sources and iodine are often found together in marine animals like salmon roe.

Partially SupportedConsuming organ meats and egg yolks on a carnivorous diet ensures adequate vitamin K2 intake.

Not SupportedConsuming only muscle meat without organ meats like liver can lead to nutrient deficiencies.

Partially SupportedLiver is a good source of vitamin B6, amino acids, riboflavin, folate, choline, and minerals not found in high concentrations in muscle meat.

Partially SupportedFat burning is a larger and more sustainable energy source for long-term use compared to carbohydrate burning, which utilizes finite glycogen stores.

Partially SupportedWearing a cell phone at the waist may be associated with decreased testosterone and sperm count.

Partially SupportedThe human body is equipped to handle complementary nutrients like vitamin K2, vitamin A, and D3 when consuming animal foods.

Partially SupportedCod liver is nutrient-dense and beneficial if tolerated.

Partially SupportedAvocados are technically not carnivore but can be consumed by facultative carnivores if tolerated.

Not SupportedWhen applying topical products, avoid phthalates and parabens.

Partially SupportedEMF may interfere with voltage-gated magnesium channels, potentially causing magnesium problems.

Partially SupportedAchieving 5% body fat on a carnivore diet may negatively impact hormone levels (LH and FSH).

Partially SupportedToxins are exported from the body via stool and urine through phase one and phase two detoxification processes.

Partially SupportedA carnivore diet is suitable for women, and potential issues like menstruation and iron levels are manageable.

Partially SupportedPure glycine powder is a viable alternative for individuals sensitive to bone broth or hydrolyzed collagen.

Partially SupportedAdequate intake of liver and egg yolks may suffice for individuals consuming egg whites, even if sensitive.

Partially SupportedDehydrating raw liver is an effective method to preserve it and create a shelf-stable product.

Partially SupportedRubbing alcohol can be used as an effective deodorant alternative to chemical products.

Partially SupportedWomen should keep cell phones away from breasts or endocrine tissue like ovaries.

Partially SupportedEMF exposure should be acknowledged and mitigated where possible.

Partially SupportedTo manage methionine status, consume approximately four to five tablespoons of collagen per day.

Partially SupportedMarine animals should be consumed only if they are not rancid or spoiled.
