From Debilitating Arthritis to Healing, Phil Escott’s Story

In today’s episode, I sit down with my good friend Phil Escott, and his story is one that really makes you stop and think.

Back in 2012, Phil was dealing with severe autoimmune arthritis. The pain was so intense he could barely move, and like so many people, he was told there were no real solutions. Things were only getting worse, not better.

What makes his journey so powerful is what he discovered along the way. The vegan diet he believed was helping him was actually contributing to his decline.

Everything changed when he shifted to a carnivore approach. That, combined with reducing exposure to EMFs and artificial light, adding cold exposure, and returning to more ancestral lifestyle practices, started to turn things around in a very real way.

Phil has now been carnivore since 2015 and has helped countless people understand how modern lifestyles can drive inflammation and disease, and how the body can recover when you remove those stressors.

In 2019, we organized the first carnivore retreat together, which was an incredible experience, and since then his retreats have continued to grow, attracting experts from all over the world.

He’s also the author of Arthritis: The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, with a foreword by Dr Jack Kruse, and now works with clients globally, helping them reverse metabolic and autoimmune issues through personalized guidance and his online program.

If you or someone you know is struggling with inflammation, autoimmune issues, or just feels like something isn’t adding up with conventional advice, this is definitely an episode worth listening to.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

240 Hour Water Fast Completed

That's 10 whole days for those of you who are bad at math. :) Wow, what an accomplishment. I can't believe that I had the willpower to stick to this. How did I know it was time to break the fast? Hunger returned with a vengeance last night. Also, weight loss has really slowed down in the last couple of days. I guess my body was running out of things to munch on. Well, I could still think of a few places but we have to trust the system. I woke up this morning very excited and started with some kefir to replenish some of the intestinal bacteria before my first meal. I'm now enjoying a nice cup of matcha tea with extra cream and a bit of bone broth protein (I swear it tastes like hot chocolate, yum!) and thinking about what my first proper meal will be. I still have some broth left so I was thinking of perhaps making some cream of mushroom soup and pretty much sticking to liquids today but the day is still young. Will keep you guys posted.
