SAMA HOOLE: The demonisation of animal fat required: Ignoring 2.5 million years of human evolution; Ignoring populations with high-fat diets and low disease; Ignoring that every cell needs fat

The demonisation of animal fat required:
- Ignoring 2.5 million years of human evolution
- Ignoring populations with high-fat diets and low disease
- Ignoring that every cell needs fat
- Ignoring that fat-soluble vitamins require fat
- Ignoring that no trial has even proved the…

SAMA HOOLE: Herbivores need salt licks because plants are extremely high in potassium and low in sodium. They're correcting an electrolyte imbalance from their diet. Carnivores eating meat get balanced sodium and potassium naturally.

SAMA HOOLE: The fiber recommendation went from 0g to 25-35g daily in the 1970s. Not because new evidence emerged. Because the grain industry needed a health claim. Breakfast cereal sales were declining. "Heart healthy whole grains" saved the industry.

SAMA HOOLE: Seed oils don’t just make you fat: they make you anxious. Here’s how: the linoleic acid they’re packed with is highly unstable, and when it’s oxidised, it creates toxic byproducts that wreck your mitochondria.

Seed oils don’t just make you fat: they make you anxious. Here’s how: the linoleic acid they’re packed with is highly unstable, and when it’s oxidised, it creates toxic byproducts that wreck your mitochondria. Those mitochondria aren’t just energy factories: they’re the regulators of your metabolism, hormones, and even your mood. Damage them, and you end up with a brain running on fumes. Overexcitable neurons, energy blackouts, chronic cortisol, and a nervous system locked in fight-or-flight. That’s anxiety in a nutshell. The fix isn’t therapy or pills: it’s taking the fuel source back to what humans evolved on: red meat, animal fat, and ketones. Inflammation gets cut right down with the absence of seed oils, sugar, and plant toxins. Red meat provides the building blocks for your natural antioxidants, the electron transport chain, and plugs any deficiencies. Ketones actively improve mitochondrial function through biogenesis and increased antioxidative capacity.

It can be a slow process. But heal the mitochondria, and the mind will follow.
