Welcome to the Diet Doctor Podcast with Dr. Brett Schur.

Today I'm joined by Peter Ballerstet.

Now Peter is a very unique individual because he has a foot in two completely different worlds.

On the one hand he has a degree in forge, agronomy and ruminant feeding from University of Kentucky.

On the other hand, he's had this personal journey with health that's brought him to the

low-carb ketogenic world and he's helping bridge the gap between what you can call the grass

people, the ranchers, the farmers, and the health side of things.

And in conferences like low-carb Houston, where we are now, he helps provide that

additional perspective. So that's why I enjoy having him on the show today to talk about

this other aspect of what we're doing. As we're trying to change how we eat to change our

nutrition, we also have to think about the environmental impact,

the impact on animals, and this whole other world.

And interestingly, maybe it's not as simple as we like to think.

Just as I would say we should never make your healthcare simple or your health simple.

Peter has the same approach.

We shouldn't make farming and ranching and raising ruminants as simple as it is.

Now I'm a big fan of grass-fed, grass-finished. I think it's important. I think it's healthier.

Peter has a different opinion. So it's very interesting to get that type of opinion and kind of stew with it a little bit and see how it sits with us and see if it makes sense.

There are some other things that maybe are different from what you've heard,

and that's what I really appreciate about his message.

So I hope you enjoy this, and you can incorporate what he says into your thinking process.

So maybe we're not thinking about things as being so black and white, but is more nuanced.
