Summary

Today, I want to cover the best food to support healing and repair: red meat. Not only does red meat have the most protein, but it also has some other amazing benefits. Other types of protein, like eggs and salmon, are beneficial—but red meat is the best to support healing. Of all the things needed for the repair or healing process, amino acids are among the most important. Red meat is more bioavailable and is a more concentrated source of amino acids than other types of protein. It also contains more iron, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin K, and omega-3 fatty acids than eggs. This doesn’t include processed meat from factory farms. It’s crucial to get high-quality grass-fed, grass-finished red meat. Red meat also contains four important additional nutrients for healing, repair, and recovery: 1. Carnitine 2. Creatine 3. Carnosine 4. Coenzyme Q10 People who have difficulty digesting red meat typically have low stomach acid. Even if you don’t like the taste of red meat, it may be because you have low stomach acid. Betaine hydrochloride may be beneficial to help strengthen your stomach acid. You can try taking three to five betaine hydrochloride supplements before a meal for about one month. However, if you tend to have excess iron, red meat may not be for you. Instead, you could try consuming more poultry or eggs.

0:00.0	Now, if we're talking about the absolute best food to help you heal repair, especially after exercise,
0:07.1	but from anything like stress, trauma, surgery, hands down, the answer would be red meat.
0:14.7	Now, I recently did a video talking about different proteins, which are a little bit better for
0:19.4	certain health conditions, maybe something's better for anti-inflammatory, etc. But when we're talking
0:25.1	about generalized healing and repair, animal meat and specifically red meat is at the top of the list,
0:33.2	because not only does red meat have the most protein, it also has some other amazing things that
0:40.2	I'm going to share with you today, which is going to blow you away. Over 30 years of practice,
0:44.2	I have never met one person who ever had an allergy to meat, okay? They might have had an allergy
0:51.6	to peanuts, or eggs, or seafood, or shellfish, or wheat, or soy, but not red meat. And just the fact
1:01.8	that meat has been villainized as the bad guy, you should start eating less red meat as a way to get
1:09.0	healthy. Or overall, it's going to be better for climate change because we know the cows are
1:13.0	destroying the climate, which is completely ridiculous. But right there, that one argument,
1:18.5	the fact that mainstream is telling you not to do it, the truth is going to be in the exact
1:24.0	opposite direction. In fact, it's difficult to heal in a repair your body without animal protein,
1:30.4	especially red meat, and today I'm going to prove it. Now, in past videos, I talked about eggs,
1:35.4	and I eat a lot of eggs, and eggs are awesome, okay? But if we compare eggs to meat, there is some
1:43.0	significant differences, and that's what I want to talk about today. I've also talked about the
1:47.1	benefit of having salmon and fish, which I also have once or twice a week. And salmon and
1:52.9	sardines are very high in omega-3, which are good, but beef red meat has more protein, and it has
1:59.5	a lot of other things that can help you heal if we look at the whole picture. I will say out of
2:04.8	all the things that are involved in the healing process and the repair process, we need amino acids.
2:11.7	We need bile-available protein, which is going to be animal protein, and we need concentrated
