Simple, effective, and deeply rooted in common sense, these tips can seriously upgrade your health with minimal effort. We love how Carnivore Aurelius cuts through the noise, reminding us that complexity sells, but simplicity heals.

So here’s a quick breakdown of our favorite tips from his list, with some of our own thoughts mixed in.

**10 Simple Health Hacks from Carnivore Aurelius (That We Love)**

1. Stop Eating Food That Irritates Your Gut

Inflammation starts in the gut. If your digestion feels off, your energy is off, your mood is off: it’s all connected. Gut irritation can lead to endotoxins that trigger systemic inflammation and stress. This is why choosing clean, whole foods matters. (Hint: if your food comes with a paragraph of ingredients you can’t pronounce... maybe skip it.)

2. Cut Out Seed Oils

You already know how we feel about this one. Seed oils are a major driver of inflammation, metabolic slowdown, and hormonal imbalance. Ditch the canola, soybean, safflower, and all their “heart-healthy” marketing lies. Stick with tallow, butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. Your mitochondria will thank you.

3. Blue Light Blockers at Night

Blue light messes with your melatonin. If you’re scrolling or working late, grab a pair of blue blockers or switch your screens to night mode. Better yet, dim the lights and wind down like it’s 1850.

4. Go to Bed Closer to Sunset

We’re not saying you need to be in bed at 7:30 p.m., but shifting your sleep earlier can be game-changing. Late nights come with racing thoughts and restless energy. Try syncing your sleep closer to nature’s rhythm and see what happens.

5. Eat a Raw Carrot Daily

This tip seems random, but it’s legitimate. Raw carrots help bind toxins and have antifungal, anti-parasitic, and anti-estrogenic properties. Plus, crunchy veggies just feel good. Bonus points if you pair it with coconut oil or ACV.

6. Take a Horizon Break

If you’re staring at a screen all day (hi, that’s most of us), give your eyes and brain a break. Step outside, breathe deep, and gaze at the horizon. It’s grounding, calming, and a natural way to reset your nervous system.

7. No Phone for the First Hour of the Day

This one hits hard, but it’s worth it. Your phone is a stress grenade in the morning. Give yourself space to be human before diving into messages, notifications, and the whirlwind of the world.

8. Ground Barefoot Daily

We’re big fans of grounding. Standing barefoot on grass or soil helps discharge static energy, lower cortisol, and reduce oxidative stress. You’ll feel the difference: calmer, clearer, more connected.

9. Eat Beef Liver

Nature’s multivitamin. Liver is packed with vitamin A (retinol), B vitamins, iron, and more. If you can’t stomach it straight, we recommend desiccated liver capsules. We are fans of Heart & Soil or Ancestral Supplements.

10. Eat When You're Hungry

Forget restriction. When you’re eating the right foods—nutrient-dense, whole, animal-based—you can trust your hunger cues. If your body is asking for fuel, feed it. It knows what it’s doing.

Health doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need a 14-step protocol or a subscription to ten different apps. Start with the basics. Sleep well, eat real food, cut the junk, go outside, and listen to your body.

And if you want a dose of truth with your memes, give Carnivore Aurelius a follow. He’s proof that ancestral wisdom + internet chaos = a good time and better health!
