She recently escaped the Golden State and currently resides in Las Vegas. She is a coach\u2014specifically for entrepreneurs and especially those looking to make an impact by helping others.

Yet, I really like spicy food\u2014more of the Mexican and Middle Eastern spices rather than southeast Asian or \u201cAmerican Toughguy\u201d (see: Buffalo Wings). Some of the Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese stuff immediately registers as fire without any of the taste. No can-do. Buffalo wings\u2014at least the sauce\u2014are an absolute non-starter for me. Pure pain, no enjoyment. Ironic, then, after I get off the call with Barbara and I fancy a Lebanese-style meal. I bought some kebabs the other day at Costco where all I have to do is reheat them. We have some hummus in the fridge and some sliced pepperoncini for a little garnish, bite, texture, or what have you. I ate 3 kebabs, a small helping of hummus, and a few of the sliced pepperoncini. As the night progressed, my stomach started talking back to me, but I paid it little mind and eventually retired for the night. Come about 1:30 in the morning, not only my tummy, but my throat started screaming at me and I had to get up to get an antacid tablet. Spent a few hours milling around, reading, etc. before I could get back to sleep. Felt back to normal the next morning. Point is: know your limits. I know most of my limits, yet oftentimes don\u2019t respect them. I need to eliminate things\u2014many spicy things, in particular\u2014from my life because of severe reactions that make me miserable for much too long. Try something new if you\u2019re getting zero traction. Carnivore, like Barbara mentioned, is not for everyone. However, a steak burrito at the restaurant Chipotle can be a cure for your vegan- or vegetarianism. No guarantees on that either.   Similar diet mentioned: The Lion Diet This will lead you to more information about Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila.   For Dr. Peterson, Mikhaila and his followers, Barbara recommends you listen to this episode, which is Episode 15 of The O\u2019Leary Review Podcast. I am including a standing invitation to come on and talk about the Lion Diet in a future episode. Let\u2019s do this!   Book and doctor mentioned: Judy Cho, The Carnivore Cure   The CIRS Group Barbara is a co-founder of The CIRS Group What is CIRS? CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is often the cause of many so-called \u201cuncurable\u201d illnesses Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia POTS Pandas SIBO Several other autoimmune conditions. Approximately 25% of the population is genetically predisposed to CIRS because of the inability to clear biotoxins from one\u2019s own body. The term \u201cbiotoxins\u201d is broad, but more often than not, the biotoxins we\u2019re talking about come from exposure to mold due to water-damaged buildings. The immune system response never \u201chands off\u201d to the adaptive immune system. What this means is that one\u2019s body damages itself with inflammation rather than attacking the toxins causing the problem in the first place. Symptoms range from muscle cramps, frequent urination, joint pain and brain fog, to vertigo, blurry vision, histamine reactions, GI issues and night sweats.     Other CIRS resources mentioned: Surviving Mold w\/ Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker     Breaking News mentioned (burying the lede, of course): Barbara will be starting a podcast with the CIRS Group starting in the New Year. The Tom Woods School of Life has an official podcast in the making.

We\u2019ve done entire holiday meals with the meats sourced from Southside. I highly recommend this move, especially with Christmas upcoming. Although not strictly \u201ccarnivore,\u201d our favorite snack is the Sausage Slammers. A slammer is a de-seeded (i.e. way less-spicy) jalape\u00f1o, stuffed with high-melt cheddar, covered with an oblong ball of Southside\u2019s ground pork sausage, which is, in-turn, covered with strips of bacon, then smoked until edible, packaged and sent on its merry way to ravenous customers across the nation. The jalape\u00f1o is somewhat of spicy on my scale, but I am a notable lightweight when it comes to discerning how spicy something is. To me, the pepper in the slammer is way more mild than the pepperoncini I had the other night\u2026take that for what it is worth. As far as the Scoville scale goes, the stuffed pepper is much milder than a typical jalape\u00f1o\u2014certainly a raw one\u2014but still imparts that nice flavor. I love the Slammers so much that I made some videos for the world to see: The Opening The Cooking\u2026and Eating The Short   What else? The Whole Smoked Brisket is phenomenal \u2026 and carnivore. The best beef sausage I\u2019ve ever had is the Southside Market Original Beef Sausage. More or less carnivore\u2026let\u2019s not nitpick unless we have to!   And if you\u2019re still in the market for (late, late\u2014maybe the traditional 12 days of Christmas\u2014late) Christmas gifts, take a look at Southside Market Gift Sets. You won\u2019t get the standard sausage stick-plus-cheddar stick (or wheel). You will get any number of delicious combos.   Do not forget your delightful barbecue sauce! In our family, BBQ sauce is not only cherished, but it is critiqued. Consider the Southside Market Sauces.   Might as well go ahead and use code TXBBQ15 for 15% off your order sitewide. Code is valid through the end of 2022.   O\u2019Leary Beef ad Music by QubeSounds from Pixabay     Start Your Stack!
