Raw Dairy, Red Meat, and Saturated Fats Healed Me – Will Witt on Breaking Free from Fake Health

Everyday Ancestral with James Barry

Will Witt is living proof that questioning mainstream health advice can be life-changing, especially when the truth is buried under layers of misinformation. For those seeking a return to ancestral wisdom and self-reliance, his journey is a wake-up call. Diagnosed with gout at just 24, he was told to cut out red meat and eat more vegetables—but that only made things worse.

Instead of following conventional wisdom, he took matters into his own hands, embracing raw dairy, red meat, and saturated fats, and completely transformed his health. Now, three years later, he's gout-free and proving that the path to true health isn’t found in packaged diet plans or pharmaceutical fixes—it’s about trusting your body, and eating real food.

In this episode, we get into why raw dairy is a nutritional powerhouse, how mainstream health advice keeps people sick, and why simplicity is key when it comes to real food. Will shares the exact steps he took to heal, his approach to food sourcing, and why he believes getting back to nature—both in diet and lifestyle—is the ultimate key to thriving. If you've ever felt like the standard health playbook wasn’t working for you, this conversation is a must-listen.
