If you or a woman you know is currently suffering from any of the following:
– Painful/irregular periods
– PMS / PMDD
– PCOS
– UTIs
– Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis / Graves’ Disease / Other thyroid issues
– Endometriosis
– Fibroids
– Candida
– Ovarian Cysts
– Infertility
– Amenorrhea
…or any other hormonal dysfunction
This is the post for you.
Please take the time to read and watch the accompanying videos, as I believe the solution to all of these health conditions is far closer than you think. I wouldn’t be writing this today if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe that.
All it will take is an open mind, and a willingness to try something that may sound a little crazy…
HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
I’ll keep this introduction very short for anyone wondering who the heck I am, and why I of all people—who am not a doctor, nutritionist, or any other type of medical professional—am here to talk about WOMEN’S HORMONES today.
In short, I’m just a dude who wants to see every human on earth be as happy and healthy as they can possibly be. And while I don’t have any fancy health degrees or certification, I AM obsessed with learning…and when I stumble upon a discovery I believe will help a huge percentage of the population, you better believe I’ll be busting out the megaphone and sharing it with the world.
First things first, before we dive too deep into the weeds on the topic of women’s hormonal health, I want you to carve out some time TODAY to listen to this podcast I recorded with my amazing friend Christina Mathewson. She’s a Naturopath from Australia who specializes in female hormones, and has helped countless women fix hormonal dysfunction (including heavy/painful periods, PCOS, Hashimoto’s, Endometriosis, UTIs, infertility and more) HOLISTICALLY by implementing an incredibly simple diet change. It’s the ultimate primer for the topics we’re about to dive into today…
👇👇👇
Finished it? Good! Now share it with anyone you know who’s dealing with any of the hormonal issues outlined at the top of this post. It might just be the catalyst to them dramatically improving their life!
Now that that groundwork has been laid, let’s kick things off with one of the most pressing questions on earth today:
Why on earth are so many women’s bodies, seemingly out of nowhere, suddenly throwing all of these debilitating health obstacles at them?
Is it just “unlucky genetics”…which just happens to be hitting millions of women worldwide all at the same time?
Or…is that just a B.S. narrative that’s been normalized, and the truth is that there’s a clear problem that’s occurred somewhere along the line, which when addressed, would FIX this epidemic at its core?
If you’ve been listening to my podcast…you already know the answer.
“Bad genetics” does not pass the smell test in any way, shape, or form. Human beings are an apex predator species that has NEVER faced such a high prevalence of chronic disease before, so CLEARLY there’s something else afoot here.
But what is it?
In recent years, I’ve had some very special women in my life fall victim to a slew of the hormonal conditions listed above, so I decided to get to the bottom of what the heck is actually going on here. And what I found should excite EVERYONE who’s in the trenches with any of these issues (or knows someone who is), because it turns out, there is an extremely effective solution out there, which is actually working for women. The only problem is, hardly anyone knows about it!
SHORT ANSWER:
As explained in my podcast with Christina, there is nothing wrong with you. Your body is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: eject foreign toxins out of your body in any way it can. The problem is, quite simply, you have TOO MANY toxins in your system, which is overloading your liver, which in turn leads to your detoxification-focused organs (mainly in your gut) to reallocate this detox process to other organs across your body, which are not built for this task. When this happens, it manifests as one or multiple of these different hormonal dysfunctions.
The path toward healing then, is much simpler than most medical professionals would lead you to believe: Just reduce your toxin load, so your gut & liver are no longer tapped out!
We’ll be diving into the most effective ways of actually doing this soon, but first, let’s review with a quick illustration of the above process to make sure the root problem is fully understood.
Let’s take something that’s obviously toxic, which is jacking up the toxin load for hundreds of millions of women worldwide:
MAKEUP.
Tons of toxic chemicals, tons of endocrine distruptors, just loaded with awful stuff.
When this is applied to a woman’s face, those chemicals get absorbed straight through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Now, these chemicals are so foreign to the human body, that the liver QUICKLY reaches its detox threshold point, and has to call in backup.
So, it has no choice but to push some of that detoxification “job” outward, to other places like:
a) The skin, causing acne/eczema breakouts
b) The neurological system, causing mental health disarray, migraines, etc.
OR…another one that is exclusive to women,
c) YOUR PERIOD. This is an additional detox pathway that men don’t have, and most women don’t know that it’s extremely common for this to be used as your body’s primary “toxin-dumping backup” when your liver is overloaded. This is why so many women are experiencing such horrendous periods in the modern era, when this was NEVER a problem in the past. It’s because present-day women are absorbing more toxins than ever before, which in turn is over-taxing their internal organs and manifesting as this slew of hormonal problems that are debilitating them.
As explained by Christina Mathewson in the video at the top of this post, the female body is INCREDIBLY smart. When certain organs are overwhelmed by their primary function, it reallocates this excess work elsewhere, in order to keep the necessary bodily gears turning, and ultimately, to keep you alive.
HOWEVER…just because your body CAN reallocate tasks from the primary organ to secondary/tertiary backup organs, doesn’t mean it WANTS to.
Just like any complex system that’s forced to adapt in a way that’s not optimal, it’s going to let you know it’s not happy. And THIS my friends, is where every one of these hormonal health problems begins.
I hope all of this is making sense so far. I know it’s a lot to take in, but I believe that foundational knowledge is important before we dive into the FUN part of this article…
Before we proceed, I must warn you…I’m going to drop a major doozy on you, which the majority of women will think sounds insane. So, I ask you to bear with me, and hear out my full argument before closing this tab.
What is the largest source of toxin-intake for women today?
Is it the makeup & other cosmetic products as mentioned above?
The unhealthy air from perfumes and “air-fresheners” (i.e. toxic chemical pumps)?
EMFs from your phone?
Bad vibes from their shitty boss?
No. All of these things suck and should definitely be addressed…but they are miniscule in comparison to the glaring culprit for 99% of women.
Are you ready?
EATING PLANTS.
Yes, you heard me correctly.
“Wait, what?? But I’ve been told my whole life that fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds are super healthy. They have to be good for me, right!?”
No, they actually are not, and here’s a very simple explanation on why:
Plants do not exist to feed humans and make them healthy. Plants exist to SURVIVE AND PROCREATE, just like every other organism on the planet. And, in order to achieve this goal, they’ve evolved over millions of years to POISON anything and everything that tries to eat them (in this case, you).
Yes, a very small percentage of animals have evolved in a highly-specialized way to be able to eat and digest these plants without facing negative health consequences. Cows for example have 4 stomachs, and a bizarre digestive process called “rumination”, where they chew, swallow, regurgitate, chew again, and repeat 🔄 all day every day in order to extract the nutrition they need from grass.
Gorillas are another one. They are “hind-gut digesters” meaning they process food primarily in their extra-long large intestines rather than their stomachs. That means that unlike humans (who have a tiny cecum and colon), they’re great at breaking down fiber. (Oh, and they also eat their own shit to get their B-vitamins, so there’s that.)
Humans are none of these things.
Let’s look at some pretty pictures:
The Takeaway:
Humans do not have an herbivorous digestive system, nor do they even have an omnivorous digestive system as the majority of the population believes.
Human beings have a carnivore digestive system, which is built to digest exclusively animal products, and ideally ZERO plants of any form.
Let’s look a little further into the human gut, particularly it’s pH level:
Yes, the human gut is even MORE acidic than those of wolves or lions, meaning we are even MORE carnivorous than they are (our closest gut relative is the vulture, a notorious scavenging carnivore).
This explains why your vegan/vegetarian friend spends half of their day on the toilet, and the other half clearing rooms with awful gas – their GI tract is in constant distress from being filled with plant matter which the human gut is physically incapable of digesting.
And bringing this all back to our post topic of women’s hormonal health: the gut is the body’s headquarters of metabolic health, and when it isn’t functioning properly, NOTHING is functioning properly, including your hormones.
Before proceeding any further, I feel that this seemingly-radical statement that fruit/vegetable consumption is the true root cause of your hormonal health problems calls for some additional explanation. So, let’s take a quick intermission with a couple videos that will expand upon this concept in detail, featuring legendary carnivore advocates Dr. Anthony Chaffee and Dr. Sarah Zaldivar:
Now that we’ve got all of these ideas laid out, let’s quickly summarize the main takeaways worth gleaning so far:
– Women’s hormonal problems are really just the gut/liver throwing a temper tantrum from having too many toxins dumped onto it
– The largest source of toxin-intake BY FAR for women today is eating fruits, vegetables, grains, and other plants that the human body is not designed to digest
– By removing plants from the diet, and implementing an ancestrally-appropriate carnivorous diet of beef, butter, bacon, eggs, and other animal products only, the liver will be relieved of its overload, and hormonal problems will improve or disappear entirely
“Ok Ben WTF…so you’re telling me if I just stop eating all of these plants, and exclusively eat high-fat animal products, all of my health problems will improve?? Why did my doctor never tell me about this!?”
Because while most modern doctors mean well, they’ve been groomed through their Big Pharma-sponsored schooling to IGNORE nutrition (i.e. the most fundamental input of human health), and see every patient’s problem as a pharmaceutical deficiency, so they can sell as many prescriptions as possible to increase the profits of the Pharma machine.
Yeah…if there are any young doctors or nutritionists reading this, I’m sorry to destroy your entire life’s work right there…but better to hear it now than years later, I’d say!
I know, I know…this sounds like some very dark, crazy conspiracy theory. Let’s add some color to that claim with Dr. Chaffee, who explains better than anyone how the modern medical system ACTUALLY works 👇
Basically, your doctor/dietitian/nutritionist is not an evil person who’s purposely advised you to poison yourself…they’ve just been so heavily propagandized by their Big Pharma overlords that they have no idea how human health works, especially the diet/nutrition aspect.
Through the brutal gauntlet of medical school, they’ve been trained to repeat the following:
– Say you’re just “unlucky” / “it’s genetic”
– Insist diet plays no role in your health problem, while in the same breath insisting that you need to eat a “balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies!!”
– Shove a coincidentally highly-lucrative pill in your face, so they can make their Big Pharma daddy happy, and not get their license revoked for the inexcusable offense of getting patients OFF of drugs rather than ONTO them
Plain and simple, the modern medical system has been finely tuned by enormous financial players to churn out well-dressed drug salesmen formerly known as doctors, who will in the vast majority of cases NOT be interested (or knowledgeable enough to) solve the root problem of your health issues, but instead force-feed you prescriptions that are more likely to suppress your body’s natural healing mechanisms, making you even more dependent on Big Pharma’s drugs for the foreseeable future, or FOR LIFE 💰💰💰💰💰
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET, FRIENDS???
No but seriously, let’s get back to the task at hand.
I know it’s a tough pill to swallow (pun-intended) to realize that all the doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and other medical professionals you’ve come into contact with are unknowingly part of this perpetual sick-care system.
As someone who went to a school with a huge medical program (University of Washington), I’ve hopelessly watched firsthand as several of my close friends walked this exact path: spending years of their life being propagandized by Big Pharma textbooks, graduating, and now pushing horrible advice onto their patients and social media followers, keeping all of them sick and drug-dependent.
(If any of you are reading this, don’t worry I still love you. You’re just wrong ❤️)
It didn’t used to be this way…
Once upon a time, before the Big Food + Big Pharma + Big Government orgy stumbled across the fiat money-printer, doctors were trained to actually heal people.
In addition, far less people needed healing in the first place, since everyone was eating the ancestrally-appropriate diet of mostly-or-all animal products: fatty red meat, bacon & eggs, butter, full-fat milk, etc. and very little if any plants.
In these before-times where people effortlessly looked and felt great, we didn’t have these Pharma-fabricated boogeymen like “high cholesterol bad”. We just ate the same thing we have been for the previous 99.99% of our species’ existence on this planet, before any of these modern “diseases” existed.
So…how do we reverse this horrific trend of nearly every modern human getting sick—and circling back to the original title of the article—an absurdly-high percentage of women worldwide being crushed by hormonal problems?
I believe the key is for all affected women to do a 180 from the bullshit guidelines (eating plants), and implement the true “proper human diet” as Dr. Ken Berry puts it: CARNIVORE.
It will be no small task to be sure…but if we are able to successfully implement this at scale, we will usher in the healthiest, happiest, most thriving era in the history of women’s health.
I challenge all the women out there—whether you’re battling health problems or not— to give the carnivore diet a strict go for 90 days, and tell me you don’t see a significant improvement in how you look and feel.
Just remember: as with any significant diet change, your body will take some time to adjust! Here are some resources to prepare you from the common transition systems as you switch from a carb-based diet to a fat/protein-based diet.
CONCLUSION
To review…
Why are so many modern women facing such debilitating hormonal dysfunction right now, seemingly out of nowhere on the human-evolutionary timeline?
One more time for those in the back, a summarizing set of takeaway bullet points:
- ALL plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. are immobile in nature, and thus have evolved to load themselves with toxic defense chemicals as their primary means of survival in the wild
- Human beings do not have the digestive systems nor the hormonal defenses to handle these plant toxins (and the supposed “nutrition” they contain is not even absorbable due to our extremely acidic gut pH)
- We HAVE, to the contrary, adapted to thrive on lots of healthy animal fats, which is no more important to any demographic on earth than women, who have a very complex/delicate hormonal system that NEEDS those fats in order to function properly
- Thus, by simply removing all plants from the diet and adopting a high-fat carnivore diet (beef, butter, bacon, eggs), your body will likely see a massive improvement in overall health in a matter of weeks/months!
Sound crazy? I thought so too! Until I sat down with the women I knew who were dealing with all of these health problems, proposed the carnivore diet as a new method to try, and watched as not a single one of them didn’t at least improve, if not completely reverse their symptoms!
Here’s just one example of a badass carnivore gal I had the pleasure of bringing onto my podcast recently – Laura Greimann, who reversed ALL of the following with the carnivore diet:
- Eczema
- Migraines with Aura
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
- Bloating
- Tonsillitis
- Kidney Stones
- Depression
- Binge-eating
- Osteoporosis
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Seeing all of these women heal lifelong conditions so quickly and easily is the closest thing I’ve seen to a miracle, and literally all they had to do this whole time was return to what humans have already done for 99.99% of our history on this planet: eat fatty meat and lots of it.
