Why Try the Carnivore Diet? Healing, Bitcoin, and Taking Full Responsibility:
In this powerful conversation, Jake is joined by Mike—business banker turned health and Bitcoin advocate—to unpack the transformational impact of the carnivore diet and the shared ethos behind both nutrition sovereignty and Bitcoin self-custody. Mike shares his journey from chronic migraines, fatigue, and systemic inflammation to vibrant health through a carnivore approach. After years of failed medical advice and experimentation, eliminating all but animal products delivered near-instant results: mental clarity, pain relief, and a complete lifestyle reset.

The conversation explores deeper themes of personal responsibility, experimenting on yourself, and the misaligned incentives in both medical and financial systems. Mike draws a parallel between curing his health issues through nutrition and waking up to Bitcoin as a fix for corrupted money. His work in business banking gives him rare insight into how debt, leverage, and counterparty risk operate in the fiat system—and why Bitcoin offers a radically different, more sovereign alternative.

From carnivore diet success to fiat finance critique, this episode is a compelling look at how taking ownership of your health and wealth can fundamentally transform your life. Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how Bitcoin and regenerative health converge under the principle: no one is coming to save you—but you can save yourself.
