Carnivore Diet vs. Vegan Diet | Ending the Diet Wars & the Optimal Human Diet | Ep 11
🥩🌱 Carnivore or vegan — what is the optimal human diet? Is it possible that both sides have been fighting the wrong enemy? Is it time to end the diet wars?
In this episode of Unconditional with Norbie Schickel, we dive deep into one of the most divisive debates in health and nutrition: animal based diets vs. plant based diets. Is one truly superior — or are we fighting the wrong battle?
Join us as we explore why the “diet wars” may be distracting us from the real enemy: ultra-processed foods. Drawing on insights from people like Chris Kresser, James Wilks, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Weston A. Price and Dr. Catherine Shanahan, we unpack how both plant-based and animal-based approaches can promote health when rooted in real, whole, nutrient-dense foods.
You’ll learn what each camp gets right and wrong, the hidden common ground between ancestral and modern nutrition philosophies, and why metabolic health, not ideology, should guide your plate.
🍖🌿 Whether you’re carnivore, vegan, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire a more balanced, unconditional approach to eating and living.
Join Norbie — father, fitness enthusiast, and founder of Anthem Athletics — as he dives deep into what it takes to reclaim radical health and fitness, build an unstoppable mindset, and create your most unconditional life.
