My guest on today's show eats raw. And I'm not talking raw kale and carrots, but rather raw meat. She eats raw meat. A lot. Yep, that includes raw dairy, raw eggs, raw beef and even raw chicken. Her name is Melissa Henig, she is a health coach and nutrition enthusiast who leads what she calls a "raw lifestyle" and in her new book "Raw Paleo: The Extreme Advantages of Eating Paleo Foods in the Raw", she makes the claim that raw foods are powerful medicine and offer a distinct health advantage over cooked foods.

0:00.0	If you think eating raw meat is gross, you probably don't want to listen to this episode.
0:05.9	Actually, it is a pretty interesting episode.
0:08.4	I started trying more raw things, although I haven't tried raw chicken yet.
0:12.9	Anyways, yeah, raw chicken.
0:14.6	You're going to learn a lot in today's show.
0:16.8	But speaking of meat, did you know that you can actually sprinkle digestive enzymes onto meat
0:22.2	and like pre-digest it and use it as a meat tenderizer?
0:25.2	If you happen to be stuck up the creek without a paddle and you need some extra meat tenderizer,
0:29.4	but that same type of digestive enzyme, or also what's called a proteolytic enzyme,
0:34.1	can break down protein that you eat and increase the usable amount of amino acids available to your body
0:40.6	and one of the bestest enzymes out there, especially if you combine it with something called P3OM,
0:49.2	which is a protein-digesting probiotic.
0:51.8	It's called mass enzymes.
0:53.3	It's what you do is you combine mass enzymes and P3OM.
0:56.4	You massively, see what I did there, increase the amount of protein absorption you get from any protein-rich food,
1:04.2	state chicken, protein powder, you name it.
1:07.0	So you want to increase the usable amount of protein in your body because that means more amino acids in your bloodstream,
1:14.4	that means bigger, stronger muscle fibers, that means better neurotransmitter availability,
1:20.7	that means enhancement of the immune system.
1:22.5	And all sorts of cool things that happen when you actually get the amino acids from the food that you're eating
1:26.7	rather than having undigested proteins just kind of pass through and get pooped out.
1:31.6	So you can check this stuff out.
