This is an interview show dedicated to showcasing testimonials from people who have adopted a carnivore diet. Each episode features a guest's personal story, typically beginning with their struggles with chronic illness and the failures of conventional medicine, and culminating in their health transformation through a meat-only lifestyle. The conversations serve as case studies for the diet's purported benefits.

The host's background as an MD and orthopedic surgeon lends a unique, albeit controversial, medical authority to the carnivore movement.
