Nutrition is a very complex subject because we know so little about the gut microbiome. I got really skinny on a carnivore diet and had very low energy. I was fat on a modern processed diet. Felt a lot better on an animal based diet but have some anxiety.

Recently heard someone argue that if you don’t give your stomach enough fiber, your gut bacteria will literally eat the mucus membrane of your intestines. This is what leads to leaky gut which creates anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues because parts of your food are going into your bloodstream where it isn’t supposed to be. I like the idea of a carnivore diet because it’s so simple but humans aren’t carnivores. We literally use sugar to power our brain and for muscle function. We probably do best when we eat whatever is in season and is organic.
