Attorney Christopher Brandlin shares his harrowing journey from botched intestinal surgery and pharmaceutical dependency to healing through carnivore nutrition. After suffering severe complications from what should have been routine colon surgery, Brandlin rejected conventional medicine's next recommendation to remove his remaining intestines. Instead, he turned to the carnivore diet and found healing at the Paleo Medicina Clinic in Hungary. Now a newly-minted PhD and congressional candidate for Nevada's 3rd district, Brandlin brings a unique perspective as someone who has experienced both the failures of the medical system and the power of metabolic healing. His platform focuses on reducing pharmaceutical influence in politics, mandating nutrition education for medical students, and funding research into ketogenic diets for chronic disease treatment. The conversation spans Brandlin's background as a competitive bodybuilder, his legal career specializing in mold litigation and medical malpractice, and his unconventional preparation for congress through activities like professional bull riding training. Host Dr. Philip Ovadia and co-host Jack Heald explore how grassroots health movements can challenge institutional medicine and create policy change from within the system. This episode offers insights into the intersection of personal health transformation, legal advocacy, and political reform, while highlighting the growing carnivore community's influence on public health discourse. BIG IDEA If you go to a doctor and your doctor immediately reaches for the prescription pad and tries to prescribe you medication without asking about your diet or your lifestyle, you don't really have a doctor - you have a drug dealer.
