The Carnivore Diet with Casey Ruff
The Catapult Effect
01/24/23 • 90 min
In this episode of The Pain ChangerTM podcast, Casey Ruff joined me to talk about the carnivore diet. Casey has been a certified personal trainer since 2007. He successfully ran a metabolic testing program for a large gym and oversaw 13 programs in the west region.
He has multiple certifications as a personal trainer, lifestyle coach, and performance enhancement specialist. With his nutrition coaching certifications, he specializes in low-carbohydrate lifestyles, including ketogenic and carnivore diets. He has helped thousands of clients over fourteen years learn how to achieve their best lifestyle through movement, lifestyle management, and proper diet.
Together with Bethany, they created Boundless Body LLC during the 2020 pandemic. He is the host of two podcasts, Boundless Body Radio, and The How To Make a Podcast Podcast. He lives in South Jordan, Utah, with his wife Bethany, and their two dogs Rex and Tucker and their cat Lily. In his free time, he loves to cycle, play hockey, and paddleboard.
This diet was completely counterintuitive to me, and Casey clearly has the education to be able to teach you about this diet...so I had to know more! Casey makes it really easy to understand the science behind it, and he did a great job of answering the ethical questions that come up with a 100% animal based diet, as well as sharing experiences he’s seen with clients reporting fewer body aches on the carnivore diet. I’ve even started to follow this diet myself and I share my results on this show. The one result I totally forgot to share, because my focus was on health, not weight...was that I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks!!!!!!In this episode, you will learn:
- The science behind the carnivore diet and how your body adapts to the absence of plants
- The reason cold cereal was invented - you will be shocked
- How sustainable and ethical the carnivore diet can be
- My own results and observations the first 2 weeks of the diet

She has devoted her life to connecting with the "Great Spirit," orginating within the Christian church and later expanding to embrace all spiritual truths.
She has over 30 years of experience with psychedelics and healing arts, and over 20 years of education in transcendental philosophies. She is experienced in making sacraments with Master Plants. and makes herbal remedies with local medicinal plants.
Shannon has overcome addictions and understands the complexities in setting oneself free. In her 20's, Shannon suffered from chronic pain and debilitating asthma. She spent many years following the medical model of treatment, including numerous prescriptions and narcotics. She is pain-free since 2007, and 99% asthma free. Blissfully married now, she has been divorced twice, and gets the struggles of creating a happy, connected partnership. She is a coach, mentor, mom, plant sacrament facilitator, and an ordained minister.
