Many people call the carnivore diet “nearly flawless,” but is something important actually missing? In this video, we break down a new claim from Dr. Sean O’Mara, who argues that modern carnivore eaters lack one thing our ancestors always had: microbes that naturally occurred on fresh, unprocessed meat. He suggests that without these microbes, today’s carnivore diet may not work as well, and that fermented foods or natural spring water could be essential additions for optimal results.
We explore this idea in depth, including whether ancient diets truly relied on living microbes, whether fermented foods matter for cravings or metabolic health, and whether water from wells and springs offers unique benefits. We also take a critical look at the scientific evidence: what exists, what’s missing, and how much of this comes down to theory rather than proven clinical outcomes. For most people attempting a low carb, keto, or carnivore diet, sustainability often depends more on staying away from sugar and processed carbs than hunting for microbe-rich foods. This video covers cravings, gut microbiome theories, the rise of fermented food trends, and whether these concepts offer meaningful benefits beyond the already well-studied effects of low-carb nutrition.
