This episode was recorded on August 8th, 2024. Born in Kent, my podcast guest found his calling in music at the Brit School of Performing Arts, where he often collaborated with Adele. His path took an unusual turn away from the limelight to window cleaning, which brought unexpected contentment. However, a health crisis at 23 led to a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and a subsequent life-saving surgery. Despite conventional methods, his mental health struggled until a chance encounter with a video by Mikhaila Peterson led him to the Carnivore Diet.
