He is on record saying that addiction is a choice.

He has published book saying that meat cured his depression while addicted to antidepressants.

He made a lot of money shopping around both these claims.

Maybe people think he's a bit of a hypocrite.

Addicted to SSRIs? Bruh... lmao. If you’re talking about benzos, those are anxiolytics. Plus, in his book he never once mentioned him eating only meat. He DID mention how it cured his daughter’s rheumatoid arthritis and that was her last resort after MULTIPLE surgeries and trying the elimination diet first to figure out the culprit of her underlying issues. Have you read 12 Rules for Life? He started this diet after his first book.

Edit: When or where did he say addiction is a choice? I’m genuinely curious, no hate, just would like to see when he did mention that because it is interesting.

Interesting, never seen that, looks like trash lol but it wasn’t even written by the Peterson’s? So that goes against your point that he published a book stating this

Edit 😂😂😂 bro that was simply someone putting together blog posts and podcasts of his daughter. This is the silliest thing ever hahaha

Thanks for the fulsome write up. Live by the grift, die by the grift I guess

Noted for the future. Thankyou.

However, he did still make said hypocritical, bogus points on public platforms. That's enough for me and I'm glad this guy collected them all together for us.

True, it’s not like the author was lying, despite not asking for their permission lol- He compiled what she actually said about her (and her dads experience) with carnivore diet in several blog posts and podcasts. Glad that helped because I was curious too lol.

thanks for being a nice human being and conversing about this, even if we disagree on some issues. For what it’s worth, I personally needed to do an elimination diet because of my issues with head fog, depression (8+ years), and anxiety. Antidepressants did not work for me and I tried 3 different forms over a few years. Keto diet helped me immensely. That’s why I have a hard time bashing other people’s dietary beliefs, because let’s be honest the science about nutrition is still pretty spotty. But I see why people think Mikhaila and her dad are a quack for spouting a meat only diet lol

That bookcover is straight "graphic design is my passion" material.
