The "Spring Thaw" is real—and trying to force 100% performance on a body that is still thawing out is a fast track to summer burnout . In this uncensored episode of the 2kk Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel step away from the safe scripts of the main channel to tackle the ultimate summer playbook. As the humidity rises and summer vacation planning begins, so does a very specific kind of food anxiety. From graduation parties and neighborhood barbecues to long road trips, the social pressure to slip up is everywhere. Joe and Rachel reveal why the strict "grind culture" of diet perfectionism doesn't work, and how adopting the 90% Ruleis the real secret to staying keto and carnivore for the long haul. 🎒 What We Cover in This Episode: The Spring Thaw vs. Winter Thinking: Why treating your body like a machine in June leads to quitting by July. The Gas Station Gauntlet: How to turn your vehicle into a mobile fortress and survive the travel minefield. "Pizza Surgery" & Component Eating: Uncensored tactical hacks for navigating racetrack stops and Buc-ee's traps. The Trojan Horse Strategy: How heavy-hitter dishes like meat layer lasagna and perfected deviled eggs win over crowd skeptics without announcing they are keto. Burger Surgery: How to confidently navigate a backyard barbecue, command your protein, and utilize the "polite pivot" with your host.

Stop letting the "Purity Police" steal your progress. After nine years of living the ketogenic and carnivore lifestyle—and losing over 200 lbs combined—Joe and Rachel Stauffer are drawing a line in the sand. In this episode of 2KK Uncensored, we're getting raw about the "Keto Anxiety" that is ruining the community and why we've spent the last two years angry, stressed, and almost ready to quit. We're reclaiming the Middle Ground. From the truth about grain-finished beef and "uncured" bacon to why Joe still drinks diet soda and why we use spices on our homestead, we're breaking down the 90% Rule. If you're tired of being policed by extremists and just want a lifestyle that is simple, sustainable, and effective for the real world, this episode is for you. It's time to stop picking the pepper out of the poop and start living again. In this episode, we discuss: Why "perfection" is a metabolic stressor. Navigating the real world (cruises, family reunions, and gas stations). Why we are changing the direction of the 2 Krazy Ketos channel. The launch of the "Don't Pick the Pepper" movement.

Are you running your "human hardware" into the ground? In a culture that glorifies "The Grind," we've been conditioned to believe that a 168-hour work week is the badge of a high-achiever. But biologically, your body is keeping a different score. In this episode of 2KK Uncensored, we're breaking down the science of why your "Cortisol Gauge" is pinned in the red and how constant sympathetic overdrive is sabotaging your longevity. We dive deep into the concept of The Reset—a dedicated, non-negotiable 24-hour period of parasympathetic recovery. This isn't just about taking a nap; it's about a deliberate "Sabbath Rest" designed to repair your internal systems, lower systemic stress, and ensure you're actually around to enjoy the results of your hard work. In this episode, we discuss: The Sympathetic Trap: Why staying in "fight or flight" mode 24/7 is a recipe for physical hardware failure. The Cortisol Gauge: How to recognize when your internal stress levels are reaching the breaking point. The 24-Hour Reset: The biological necessity of stepping away from the grind to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system. Longevity vs. Hustle: Why the most productive thing you can do for your career and health is absolutely nothing for one full day. Stop redlining your engine and learn how to restore your hardware for the long haul.   Join the Conversation: Connect with us on our Mighty Networks community (Free & Paid tiers available!) for uncensored talk and Wednesday Coaching Livestreams.   ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) SaltT Electrolytes: https://2krazyketos.org/Salt (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

Are you "melting" instead of building? If you are over 50 and still prioritizing your fasting window over your protein intake, you aren't "cleansing"—you are dismantling your own body from the inside out. In this raw and uncensored episode, Joe and Rachel (2 Krazy Ketos) pull back the curtain on the Protein Death Spiral, a clinical path of frailty that starts with a simple trip and ends in a hospital bed. We're leaving the "safe" main channel scripts behind to talk about the biological reality of aging on a Keto or Carnivore diet. We dive deep into why your muscles have gone "hard of hearing" and why you need to start "shouting" at them with a 100g Protein Floor. In this episode, we discuss: The Death Spiral Statistics: Why 1 in 3 seniors who break a hip don't survive the year. Anabolic Resistance: Why your 60-year-old body needs more meat than it did at 20. Spinal Collapse: How protein debt causes your skeleton to harvest its own "support beams." The OMAD Trap: Why One Meal A Day is failing your muscle mass and your metabolism. GLP-1 & Ozempic Warning: The high-stakes race against muscle wasting on weight-loss drugs. Kidney Myths & Fat Macros: Why the "experts" have lied to you about the safety of meat. Stop counting the hours on your fasting app and start stacking the bricks. Your independence—and your spine—depends on it.   Disclaimer: We are not doctors or health professionals. We are certified primal health coaches sharing our personal experiences and research. Please consult with your medical provider before making significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Is Redmond Real Salt actually safe? With the recent "Salt Wars" exploding across social media, everyone is panicking about 200ppb of lead in their favorite ancient sea salt. But are we looking at the wrong numbers? Today, Joe and Rachel from 2 Krazy Ketos go "Raw and Real" to debunk the fear-mongering with actual math, soil science, and a reality check that the "Purity Police" are completely ignoring. We're diving deep into: The Math vs. The Myth: Why comparing salt to tap water is like comparing a grain of sand to a mountain. The FDA Reality Check: What the government actually says about detectable lead in our food supply (and why "Zero" isn't the standard). The Livestock Connection: Why the healthiest animals on earth are thriving on the very minerals some influencers want you to throw away. Produce & Soil Science: How your organic carrots and kale actually "vacuum up" more minerals from the earth than your salt shaker ever could. We've toured the Redmond Salt Mine ourselves, and today we're sharing the truth about heavy metals, mineral density, and why your body's best defense against environmental toxins is better nutrition, not more restriction. Don't let a 60-second viral video dictate your metabolic health. Get the facts, understand the geology, and let's get back to what matters.

Are you following "standard medical advice" only to find yourself stalled, exhausted, or racing to the kitchen at 3 AM? In this episode of the 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel pull back the curtain on the Great Salt Scam. We dive deep into why the standard RDA for sodium is often a "metabolic death sentence" for those on a ketogenic or carnivore lifestyle. Rachel shares her harrowing personal story of ending up in the ER on the brink of death due to low electrolytes—and why the hospital's solution was part of the problem. In this episode, we discuss: The Mineral Vacuum: How 5G, chronic stress, and cortisol literally dump your magnesium and potassium levels. Big Pharma vs. Your Health: Why a $1.50 mineral fix isn't profitable for a system built on "forever meds" like GLP-1 shots. The "Pufferfish" Effect: Why drinking salt water without plain water can backfire. The 48-Hour Restart: Our simple, two-step plan to get your electrolytes back on track and break through a plateau. Stop asking for permission to feel human again. It's time to fix the foundation of your health, quiet the "monkey brain" keeping you awake at night, and discover why salt is the ultimate battery for your body.

In today's episode of the 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel go beyond food and into something deeper: ancestral living. Because here's the truth: you can eat ancestrally at the fork, but if your sleep, stress, movement, attention, identity, and environment are completely modern — your health will suffer. We talk all the time about eating meat, lowering carbs, and focusing on real food. But what if the missing piece isn't more protein… it's how you live? In this episode, we unpack: • Why eating carnivore isn't the same as living ancestrally • The hidden stress of 24-hour news cycles and constant global awareness • How modern convenience is quietly destroying resilience • Why multitasking is a myth (and how fragmented attention impacts your nervous system) • The importance of true rest vs. screen-time "recovery" • Why sleep environment matters more than you think • How outsourcing everything weakens competence and confidence • The lost art of hunting, gathering, and appreciating your food supply • Why children today are missing key developmental experiences • The danger of replacing real community with digital belonging • How social media conflict is reshaping relationships and families • Why discomfort, delayed gratification, and effort are essential for health We also share personal stories from farm life — processing animals, raising food, reconnecting to nature, turning off noise, and learning firsthand that health isn't just about macros. If 80% of health is nutrition, the other 20% is sleep, stress management, movement, identity, belonging, and environment. And that 20% may be the piece most people ignore. You don't have to go live in the woods or give up electricity to live more ancestrally. But you can: • Reduce digital noise • Prioritize face-to-face connection • Create a better sleep environment • Move more naturally • Rebuild resilience • Step away from constant stimulation • Reconnect to nature and real food This episode will challenge you to examine where modern life is quietly undermining your keto or carnivore results — and how to begin closing the gap. Because ancestral eating without ancestral living only gets you part of the way there.   ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) SaltT Electrolytes: https://2krazyketos.org/Salt (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

Check out the companion video for this podcast:  https://youtu.be/HNV0jsTdZPc Beef prices are rising, grocery bills are higher than ever, and many people following a keto or carnivore lifestyle are starting to wonder if this way of eating is still realistic. In this episode of the 2 Krazy Ketos Podcast, we have an honest, real-life conversation about alternatives to beef and how to stay keto without breaking the bank. For years, keto has been associated with expensive ribeyes, grass-fed beef, and premium cuts of meat. But for many families, that version of keto simply isn't sustainable anymore. We talk openly about why keto gatekeeping, food perfectionism, and "purist keto" messaging can push people away — especially those who are new, on a budget, or trying to heal insulin resistance. In this episode, we explore: Affordable protein options that still work on keto and carnivore How to prioritize nutrient density over food labels The difference between therapeutic keto and everyday sustainable keto Why consistency matters more than eating "perfect" foods How rising food costs are impacting long-term keto success We also discuss how focusing solely on beef can create unnecessary stress, food guilt, and burnout, and why expanding your protein choices can actually help you stay consistent long-term. Whether you're eating keto for weight loss, metabolic health, insulin resistance, or overall wellness, this conversation is about real life, real budgets, and realistic expectations. If you've ever felt like keto was getting too expensive, too restrictive, or too judgmental, this episode will help you reframe what success really looks like. Keto doesn't have to be expensive to be effective — it just has to be sustainable. This episode is perfect for: Keto beginners feeling overwhelmed Long-term keto followers who feel stuck or burned out Anyone trying to eat low-carb on a budget Carnivore or animal-based eaters looking for flexibility People who want better health without diet dogma Keto is not about perfection. It's about progress you can maintain.   ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

Keto Worked… Until It Didn't — The New Influencer Clickbait If you've spent any time in the keto space lately, you've probably heard the phrase: "Keto worked… until it didn't." In this episode, we break down why that statement has become the new influencer clickbait and why it's misleading so many people trying to lose weight, improve their health, and stay consistent on a ketogenic diet. Did keto actually stop working — or did habits change? Did the science fail — or did the story get rewritten? We rant (a little), but we also get honest about what really causes keto plateaus, stalled weight loss, and frustration over time. From influencers quietly leaving keto to monetizing the "keto didn't work" narrative, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening behind the scenes. In this episode, we discuss: Why influencers are saying "keto worked… until it didn't" How keto plateaus really happen The difference between keto not working and not doing keto Why accountability disappeared from the keto conversation How influencer messaging impacts real people's success Why keto is a tool, not a phase or a trend Keto isn't broken.

But when you go beyond the picture and read the actual dietary recommendations, the story becomes far more complicated. In this episode of the 2 Krazy Ketos Podcast, Joe and Rachel take a deep dive into the new food pyramid and break down what truly changed, what didn't, and where the contradictions start to appear. We examine how the updated guidelines still promote seed oils, allow ultra-processed foods, and send mixed messages around fruit, sugar, fat, and protein — despite appearing more keto-friendly on the surface. This episode covers: • New food pyramid explained • Dietary Guidelines contradictions • Protein recommendations and limits • Saturated fat vs seed oils • Sugar and fruit recommendations • Ultra-processed foods in modern nutrition • Why "allowed" doesn't always mean healthy • How to interpret nutrition guidelines for real-world fat loss and metabolic health If you follow keto, low-carb, carnivore, or simply want to improve your metabolic health, this episode helps you understand how to read nutrition guidelines critically — without fear, confusion, or blind trust in government graphics. Whether you're trying to lose fat, improve energy, reverse insulin resistance, or just make sense of conflicting nutrition advice, this breakdown of the new food pyramid gives you the context you need to make informed decisions for your health journey. 🎧 Listen now to learn what the new food pyramid gets right — and where it still misses the mark. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

Why did Daniel refuse the king's food in Daniel chapter 1? Was the Daniel Fast really about vegetables, or was something much deeper happening? In this episode of The 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel take an honest, Scripture-first look at why Daniel ate the way he did in Daniel 1 — and why the modern version of the Daniel Fast often misses the biblical point entirely. Every year, especially in January, Christians search for answers about the Daniel Fast, what foods are allowed, whether it has to be plant-based, and how to "do it right." But when we slow down and read Daniel 1 in context, we discover the fast was not about food purity, dietary superiority, or earning righteousness. Daniel's food choice was about: Faithfulness in exile Identity in a pagan culture Obedience to God over cultural indulgence Drawing clear spiritual boundaries in Babylon In this episode, we unpack: Why Daniel refused the king's food and wine What the Daniel Fast was actually meant to accomplish How modern interpretations can unintentionally create legalism Why fasting was never supposed to be about food alone Whether someone eating keto or carnivore can still honor the heart of the Daniel Fast How focusing on intention, obedience, and discipline brings freedom instead of confusion This is an uncensored conversation about Scripture, faith, fasting, and health — without religious pressure, food guilt, or rule-based spirituality. Whether you follow keto, carnivore, low-carb, or are simply seeking biblical understanding, this episode reframes the Daniel Fast around the heart, not the plate. If you've ever wondered: "Am I doing the Daniel Fast wrong?" "Does fasting have to be plant-based?" "What does the Bible actually say about fasting?" This episode of The 2KK Uncensored Podcast brings clarity, context, and freedom back into the conversation. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar Use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk Use code 2krazyketos for 15% off Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount) Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy 📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList ☕ Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm 🏘 Join our communities: Mighty Networks: https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily 📋 Interested in a Free Keto Audit?

The holidays are meant to be a season of joy, connection, and celebration — yet for so many people, they become a time of stress, pressure, and quiet frustration. Between social gatherings, comfort foods, disrupted routines, and emotional triggers, it's easy to feel like your health has to take a back seat until January. In this holiday episode, Joe and Rachel have an honest, real conversation about why the holidays derail so many people — and why it's not a lack of discipline or willpower. We unpack the all-or-nothing mindset that shows up this time of year, the hidden emotional drivers behind cravings, and the common belief that "starting over after the holidays" is the only option. This episode isn't about rules, restriction, or skipping the foods and traditions you love. It's about learning how to approach the holidays with intention instead of guilt, balance instead of burnout, and confidence instead of regret. We talk about how expectations, people-pleasing, and stress impact both our choices and our health — and how small, intentional shifts can make a big difference without stealing the joy of the season. Whether you follow keto, low-carb, or you're simply trying to feel better in your body, this conversation will help you navigate the holidays without feeling like you're failing or falling behind. If you've ever reached January feeling defeated, heavier, or disconnected from your goals, this episode offers a more compassionate and sustainable way forward. You don't have to choose between enjoying the holidays and honoring your health — and this episode will show you why.   ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

43: The Dogmatic Carnivores: What No One Is Saying   In this episode, we dive deep into a growing problem in the carnivore community — the rise of dogma, gatekeeping, and unrealistic expectations that are pushing good people away from a way of eating that could genuinely change their lives. Joe gets real about how the conversation around "proper carnivore" has shifted in the last few years, while Rachel shares the emotional side: the shame, guilt, and confusion so many are feeling when they think they're "failing" the diet… even though they're actually doing great. We talk about the difference between ideal carnivore and practical, livable carnivore — and why most people who say they're "not really carnivore" are actually eating far closer to an ancestrally-aligned, low-inflammation, healing way of eating than they give themselves credit for. We unpack how social media extremes have created fear around foods that don't deserve fear, how perfection culture is scaring beginners away, and how the pressure to follow the strictest voices is causing far too many people to quit the proper human diet entirely. Most importantly, we explore what NEEDS to change: more nuance, more compassion, more real-life context, and more room for humans to be… human. Eating 70–80% meat is STILL carnivore enough to feel amazing, lower inflammation, stabilize hunger, rebalance hormones, and build a sustainable lifestyle. This episode is a call to bring common sense and grace back to the conversation. If you've ever felt like you're "not carnivore enough," or like you don't belong because your plate isn't textbook perfect — this episode is for you. We want to help you stop letting dogma derail your progress and remind you that healing doesn't require perfection. It requires consistency, honesty, and food that loves you back. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!

In this comeback episode, we're finally back behind the mic — and we're sharing all the life changes that led us to step away, reset, and begin a brand-new chapter. We talk about leaving the city, starting The Double K Farm, and what it's really been like to build our own home and embrace a simpler, more intentional country lifestyle. From raising animals to learning homesteading skills, we're opening up about the challenges, the joy, and the unexpected rewards of rural living. We also dive into how the keto and carnivore community has shifted over the years. It used to feel unified, encouraging, and focused on sustainable health… but in recent years, it's become more divided, dogmatic, and confusing for beginners. We share our honest thoughts on where the keto community is today, what needs to change, and how to support people who just want real-life, long-term keto and carnivore success without the drama. Through all the big changes in our lives, one thing stayed steady: keto gave us the strength, energy, and stamina to take on massive projects — from farm work to home construction — without burning out. This episode is part life update, part homesteading story, and part honest commentary on the future of the Proper Human Diet. If you've missed the heart behind this community or you're curious about our move, our health journey, or the future of keto/carnivore, this episode brings it all together.
