Dr. Nelson hosts Sean and Janet Needham, pharmacists with over 25 years of experience, to discuss how ancestral human nutrition and a carnivore-focused approach to diet can dramatically improve metabolic health, hormone balance, and chronic disease outcomes. The conversation integrates practical clinical insights with an emphasis on patient empowerment away from conventional drug reliance. This briefing is essential for healthcare professionals, metabolic health practitioners, and anyone exploring dietary interventions for hormone and chronic disease management.

This session explores the rationale behind their dietary philosophy, the role of cholesterol in hormone production, practical supplementation strategies, and dispels common misconceptions around cholesterol and chronic illness markers. Their patient-first, lifestyle-centered practice offers a paradigm shift from traditional disease management to metabolic and hormonal self-empowerment.
