About this episode
n the latest episode of Carnivore Conversations , Dr. Kiltz sits down with Jake Thomas, host of Sick, Scared, and Stupid , to explore his transformation from a disciplined Marine to a fitness coach and carnivore advocate. Jake opens up about losing his identity after military service, struggling with substances, and how fitness and self-discipline kept him grounded. But the real shift came in 2020 when Jake ditched vegan bodybuilding for a carnivore lifestyle—leading to radical improvements in his health, mental clarity, and purpose. Jake shares hard-hitting insights on why modern society keeps us weak, sick, and emotionally attached to food, and how fasting, prioritizing self-care, and embracing simplicity can unlock resilience and true freedom. He also discusses his current academic journey, infiltrating conventional nutrition programs to ultimately reshape how we view health.
