Do you feel like bacon even coming from organic pasture, raised, maybe regenerative? Do you still think we should probably be avoiding that?

0:06.0

I do. If you're comparing grass-fed beef to pork, pork is still higher in saturated fat. Okay, so for the people in that group where saturated fat's bad, they're going to have a problem with it.

0:15.2

The Bible talks about staying away from things like pork and shalefish. And the reason for that is, is that these are carriers of parasites predominantly and other microorganisms that are very harmful to the body. And just the way their digestive systems are set up like a pig, they just don't detoxify well. So they're storing so many toxins in their fat. And whether it's wild or farmed either way, it's not healthy. In the Bible, there's a section. It's called Solomon's provisions. And it goes

0:37.9

through, what did Solomon eat on a regular basis? And the number one thing he ate was likely red meat.

0:42.7

And it was a mixture of things. It was beef. It was elk. Lamb. Lamb.

Hi, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Today's episode is

0:52.3

perfectly timed. Just last week, the new dietary

0:55.5

guidelines were announced, and there is a lot of confusion once again about what we should

1:00.0

actually be eating to be healthy. My guest today is my dear friend, Dr. Josh Axe. You probably

1:06.0

know him as a functional medicine doctor and nutrition expert. And today, we're actually diving into

1:10.8

his brand new book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how ancient biblical practice as a functional medicine doctor and nutrition expert. And today, we're actually diving into his

1:11.0

brand new book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how ancient biblical principles around food,

1:16.3

fasting, rest, and even environmental health can help heal the body, reverse autoimmune issues,

1:21.2

and rebalance the hormones in the modern world. We talk about what the Bible actually says

1:26.3

about eating red meat, dairy, bread, and wine,

1:29.7

and how different these foods were back then compared to today. Think freshly milled grains,

1:34.5

fermented sourdough, A2 dairy, and no glyphosate or ultra-processed fake food products. We also get

1:39.9

into alcohol, fasting, rest, parasite exposure, and why these biblical instructions may be far more

1:46.0

relevant now than ever. And if you're thinking, I'm not religious, or the Bible is too ancient

1:51.4

to apply to today, we address that head on how these principles can benefit anyone regardless

1:56.6

of belief and how to apply them in a modern food environment, full of artificial sweeteners and ultra-processed foods. This is a fascinating conversation that connects ancient wisdom with modern science, and I think you're really going to learn a lot. I really hope that you love the episode. If you could take a moment to rate and review it, it will take two seconds. It really does help the show, and it helps me get this out to more listeners. So thank you so much for listening.
