I am reading this book now and have recommended it to many. I went on mostly a meat based carnivore diet for gut health and weightloss , but in addition to those benefits, I did not expect the mental clarity, mood improvement and lack of any anxiety symptoms when worried /concerned about something, especially when I increased my beef fat/collagen intake. I am a female in my 60's. Thanks ladies, your both awesome! Great interview. 😊
