Our Story

I chose to embark on a journey of dietary exploration in pursuit of optimal health, but it didn't work out as expected.

As I delved into the realm of health and wellness, I began to grasp the profound influence of diet on overall well-being. The notion that food possesses the power to both heal and nourish fascinated me.

In my quest for knowledge, I discovered the significance of our ancestral diet and its emphasis on animal products, particularly nutrient-dense organ meats. Recognising the deficiencies in my own diet and health, including chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, poor sleep habits, and excess weight, I felt compelled to make a change.

Determined to transform my well-being, I decided to adopt a Ketogenic diet—a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carb way of eating. I focused on consuming above-ground plants and occasionally indulged in fermented dough bread.

After  three years, I noticed some improvements in my energy levels and body composition as a result of the Ketogenic diet. However, the changes weren't as drastic as I had hoped for.

Then, in December 2018, I stumbled upon the carnivore diet, which captured my attention. The insights I gained from podcasts and readings by renowned "carni gurus" fuelled my motivation to embrace locally sourced, animal-based eating.

I came to appreciate that animals have sustained themselves on this Earth for millennia, and the nutrients they offer are perfectly suited for the human animal. The unparalleled nutrient density of organ meats, in particular, has been linked to increased cognition, strength, endurance, and numerous other benefits. Removing plants from their diet has led many individuals to eliminate autoimmune issues and witness positive changes in mental health.

For me, the carnivore diet has been a complete game changer. I experienced heightened vitality and found myself inhabiting a body capable of running, walking, and dancing without pain and fatigue after exercise. The removal of plants brought astonishing mental clarity, inner peace, and freedom from discomforts such as urgency, abdominal pain, bloating, and excessive water retention. I now feel truly alive and effortlessly engaged in my work.

Have you ever considered exploring alternative dietary approaches to unlock your optimal health? What insights have you gained along your own journey?

 The paradigm shift of removing plants from my diet has been profound. I've learned the value of consuming nose-to-tail, embracing the super nutrients found in organs, glands, and connective tissues that our ancestors treasured but our modern lifestyles have overlooked. In fact, this realization inspired me to create Homegrown Primal supplements, providing easy access to these extraordinary nutrients.

I invite everyone I encounter to conduct their own research and embark on a journey of self-discovery in pursuit of optimal health. May we all find our unique path to well-being and embrace the power of nutrition in transforming our lives.
