Pass the Steak Hold the Meds 18 Year Old Carnivore Story
What happens when you're just 18 and your body feels decades older? In this inspiring conversation, meet Maya β a vibrant, athletic teen who faced chronic inflammation, and joint pain, only to discover healing through meat, salt, and ancestral nutrition.
After years of competing in Irish dance and being raised in a health-conscious home, Maya found herself stuck in pain, depression, and a looming autoimmune diagnosis. Doctors offered prescriptions like Humira.
Maya chose steak instead. In this heartfelt interview filmed after meeting at the Steak and Butter Gang Meetup in Bozeman,
Maya opens up about:
Growing up with natural-minded parents and being raised mostly vegetarian
Her health collapse during COVID lockdowns
A year in Japan as an exchange student while navigating chronic pain
How discovering Mikhaila Peterson, the Lion Diet and watching her momβs transformation changed everything
What itβs like being young and carnivore in a carb-heavy world
This is more than a diet story.
Itβs about sovereignty, listening to your body, and reclaiming your health without prescriptions β even at 18.
