Summary

Check out my bestselling book, The Carnivore Code: www.thecarnivorecodebook.com

Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One

from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the

group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL, and received

his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences

(USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital

San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and

Diving Medicine in 2006.

His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most

out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a

species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in

modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic

environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to

overwhelm us. His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality

of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.
