Carnivore vs Vegan – Extremism in Any Form is not Healthy​ | The Microbiome Expert

The carnivore and vegan diets sit at opposite ends of the spectrum, yet both have something in common—extreme dietary restriction. In this video, I dive into the science behind both diets, unpacking the benefits, flaws, and misconceptions surrounding them. Whether you're a devoted carnivore or a strict vegan, blind allegiance to dietary ideology can have real consequences for health, microbiome balance, and long-term well-being.
Using research-backed insights, I break down why neither extreme offers the optimal path to gut health, exploring topics like protein fermentation, vitamin deficiencies, iron overload, microbiome dysbiosis, and immune dysregulation. I also highlight bad-faith arguments and misinformation from both sides, responding to some of the most bizarre comments I receive about diet, health, and nutrition.
What You'll Learn:
• The real evolutionary perspective on human nutrition.
• The dangers of protein fermentation, dysbiosis, and iron overload in carnivore diets.
• The nutrient deficiencies and biochemical challenges of long-term veganism.
• Why balance—not extremism—is the key to lasting health.
• Debunking some of the worst arguments from both dietary camps.
If you’re frustrated by diet wars and misinformation, this video cuts through the noise with science-backed reasoning and practical insights!
