Dave Schmitz was told he'd be on psychiatric meds for life. Bipolar diagnosis in his 30s, five years of feeling emotionally numb on Lamictal. Then he went full carnivore. One to two pounds of ground beef daily. Six months later, he forgot to take his medication and felt fine. On this episode of Savage Perspective Podcast, Dave shares how strict carnivore eating and a shift in gratitude helped him ditch the pills his psychiatrist said he'd need until the grave. He also runs a keto restaurant on Route 66, homeschools seven kids, and has some thoughts on why Americans can't handle bread anymore. If you're weighing keto vs carnivore for brain health, this one hits different.
