Is the carnivore diet good for you?

Stacey explores the controversial carnivore diet. Popularised by Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson, this extreme diet demands followers eat only meat and animal products.

She meets fitness influencer Eddie Abbew, who credits this elimination diet with curing his daughter’s severe health problems, before going on to a ‘meat up’ in Kent to join enthusiasts who passionately explain that broccoli damages our DNA. But can everything we are told about a healthy diet with fruit and vegetables be wrong? Or are these carnivores likely saving up severe health problems like heart disease for the future?

Stacey looks to get the lowdown on another trend sweeping our socials, Berberine, billed as 'nature’s Ozempic’. Could it offer some of the three million women in the UK, like Sophie, suffering from a hormonal condition called PMOS, a natural way to help lose weight? Drs Nighat and Alex are cautiously optimistic that this could be a life-changer for some.
