Carnivore Aurelius
Carnivore Aurelius is the pseudonym used by an independent health researcher. He’s found his life’s purpose in this research and also in sharing what he’s learned with his growing online audience across social media. Carnivore Aurelius is dedicated to becoming his healthiest and happiest self, using the tools endowed to us by nature, and isn’t afraid to buck conventional medical wisdom in the process. After a lifetime of suffering from health conditions ranging from skin issues to recurrent sinus infections and rheumatoid arthritis, he ultimately realized that the modern medical system wasn’t equipped to help him holistically, only focusing on suppressing symptoms with drugs instead of addressing root causes. What he’s found on this journey to health is a great belief in alternative healing modalities: finding great relief, initially through the carnivore diet and later with the addition of sunlight, breathwork, grounding, and detoxification. He’s now his own doctor, having become versed in biochemistry and nutrition sciences, and intends to inspire others to take back control of their own health and happiness.
