You will love this interview with Toni. He is incredibly articulate about the carnivore diet and the way it has reshaped his family, his children, and his lifestyle. He explains, in particular, the mental shift accompanying the change in what we eat. And Toni has taken his enhanced energy and created an inspiring YouTube channel, which is where I found him. Enjoy.
Please consider sharing your story with me and scheduling an interview here. https://calendly.com/carnivorerabbi/carnivore-interview
Thank you Rabbi Evan for this interesting guest Toni. I will seek out his you tube channel. You’re an excellent host and ask all the right questions and I marvel at how you give your guests time to talk freely.
Thanks Rosy!
Carnivore Rabbi, your description down below the video is right on. I enjoyed the conversation very much. Both of you are great speakers. Toni looks like a movie star. I am in pain today from something I did wrong physically. It hurts to breathe. Probably a pinched nerve in my back. Gives me some perspective of how a person with chronic pain has a hard time focusing on other things. We hear how Carnivores restore their health or gain health for the first time. It is encouraging that much of the wrong a person has done in the past can still be righted. But I have wondered what it would be like for a child learning the world while eating optimally. Then you spoke of having to wait 20 years for results of a study. So I thought anecdotally. But I think to listen to a parent describe their Carnivore child’s milestones would seem too proud parent biased. But with adult Carnivores, I wonder how their thinking patterns would be different (better) if during their developmental years they had eaten optimally. Guess we will never know. I would love to hear a discussion about how to reach people who are not Carnivore. I feel like all these channels are only watched by Carnivores or by people who became interested indirectly. The question “how did you find Carnivore” seems answered often to be by watching Rogan or the Petersons. Carnivore Rabbi, maybe you could have a video where you are asking your audience to comment on how they found Carnivore. Maybe there will be a theme that can be exploited. Thank you for this video.
I could not find Toni’s channel.

On the topic of faith, I have even less now that I’m a carnivore. We’ve been brainwashed by so many layers of the matrix… School, parents, religion, state, etc. It’s hard to be certain of anything.
Yep, everything we’ve been told is wrong. There are real truths out there, but we’re going to have to dig them out for ourselves.
Its the theme of our age. The ubiquity of disillusionment.
Since I was a teenager was always seeking enlightenment- reading and listening to the writings of the great Eastern masters. I studied with different contemporary teachers. Eventually I realized ithey were saying there was always something more to do. Then I listened Tony Parsons on YouTube said he said this is it. There’s no such thing as a person obtaining enlightenment. This depressed me so much. Who wants this emptiness?
I felt like I was falling, falling, falling from a tall building, never to land. Then I realized this is what they call collateral beauty. Every thing just as it is. This is the happiness I never wanted. Who would? 😂😂😂
Very late reply, but this is a good topic you brought up. I have not studied the eastern masters, so don’t take my word for it, but enlightenment is waking the **** up, in my opinion AND having the strength/wisdom/patience/etc. to succeed in spite of the setbacks. It’s recognizing the actual truth and having the strength to benefit from it.
This guy might be wrong. If you collect all the wisdom you can find… here is a short list.
-heart disease guidance (#1 killer in America) is wrong, probably can be completely avoided
-cancer (#2 killer in America) probably has multiple cures
-most people do not need a doctor, except in the ER
-plants aren’t really necessary (except when we need medicines)
-media culture is a scam … almost all of it (pop/love songs, rock/rap music, news, geopolitics, how you should dress/act/shop/live as told to you by influencers, social media feeds, news and documentaries, etc.)
-there might not be anyone you can trust who is promoted
… once you realize you don’t have to listen to most of that noise, you are free to choose your own path. If you are strong enough in yourself to do it, patient enough to do it correctly, it opens the door for you to be incredibly happy. It’s a two step process…first you have to realize the setback, feel the loss, mourn the loss, and with strength/wisdom/patience, recover. After that you can thrive, you can move on from that loss and never look back and your life will be 100% better than it ever could have been!
Love
Do we all want to make lists on carnivore: specific improvements; prescriptions stopped; time/money saved; specialists jettisoned; insights achieved! Also, make the list of environmental improvements if we replaced Big Agra with small, family ranches, grazing happy cattle, retexturing and fertilizing the earth, replacing minerals, cutting out the herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers.
I tried to find Toni’s channel, but it didn’t come up. Could you please give us a link?
Check previous comments and you should see it.
Toni’s kids are very lucky!
Toni is so right here: It’s in our design to eat meat. Something eats something else (even on a plant-based diet). Eating meat is not wrong, mistreating animals is wrong.
Good point also that we do not fully understand sentience of animals and even plants. Another mistake that people make is that counting the number of killed (“murdered”) animals, if even possible, does not equate to quantifying the amount of suffering (of animals, but through diet and subsequently health also that of humans). The impact of agriculture as well as livestock farming is so complex that any claim on one being less harmful than the other is premature. Compare this with climate change, of which we also don’t understand all causes and consequences (yet).
Vegan ideologists are delusional in thinking that it is possible to gauge all of the above and they are even more delusional in trying to establish some sort of closed or “complete” ethical system in which all sentient beings have equal rights and minimal suffering. In my opinion, such a system does not exist, because any ethical system is full of inconsistencies. (Am I quoting something like Goedel’s incompleteness theorem for ethics here?).
I think, one of the YouTube carnivore doctors put it very nicely saying something like: _grow up, don’t be childish and accept the real world around you!_
Toni is a wonderful man who can share his story of challenges and share how the Carnivore Diet is our natural human diet and what it has done for him and his children. Very uplifting! Thank you, Rabbi!
Thank you
