While most meditation retreats and spiritual practices promote vegetarian or vegan diets, Rabbi Moffic discovered that a meat-based diet actually enhanced his meditation practice and mental clarity, offering a surprising counterpoint to traditional spiritual dietary wisdom.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Rabbi Evan Moffic shares his transformative journey from struggling with chronic stomach issues and brain fog to finding clarity and improved health through a carnivore diet. As a Reform Rabbi, he navigates the interesting intersection between traditional Jewish dietary laws and modern nutrition. The episode explores how eliminating plant foods helped him write more efficiently, improved his meditation practice, and enhanced his ability to connect with his congregation. Rabbi Moffic discusses the challenges of maintaining his dietary choices while fulfilling religious obligations, particularly during Jewish holidays that traditionally center around bread and wine. He explains how he balances his religious duties with his health needs, using the Jewish principle of pikuach nefesh (preservation of life) to guide his choices. The conversation delves into the psychological benefits of dietary simplification, the historical context of Jewish dietary laws, and how a meat-based diet has positively impacted his spiritual practice and professional life.
