It is often said that “You are what you eat,” and it wasn’t until I heard Jordan Peterson talk about his Carnivore diet that I truly understood that sentence.

Not quite a dietitian, Jordan Peterson is a notorious Canadian Psychology professor and now Best Selling author of his new book ‘12 Rules to Life,’ which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Peterson is highly influential, as well as controversial, seemingly finding himself in some kind of new political predicament each week due to his rather blunt, uncensored opinions on social matters.

Although hugely successful, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Peterson. He has mentioned struggling with severe bouts of depression, along with suffering from what he believes is an auto-immune disease.

Similarly his daughter Mikhaila was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a severe autoimmune disorder which led to her getting both her hip, and ankle replaced when she was 16.

As a result of these ailments, and after almost running out of hope, Peterson’s daughter began experimenting with food, eventually arriving at a diet which seemed to improve all of her conditions.

The Diet? Simple. Nothing more than meat and greens.
