DIET OVERCOMING MEDICATION DEPENDENCE
- Mikhaila Peterson is 26
- From Canada! Her father is Jordan Peterson
- Previously was interested in what medicines could make her feel better

- Was totally commonplace to take this drug
- Doesn’t make you productive, necessarily, but it makes you feel productive
- Changed her diet at 23
- Went REALLY low carb
- Initially went rice, veggies, and meat and felt much better
- Eventually got rid of rice and lots of veggies because they weren’t making her feel THAT much better
- Had to leave University because she ate crap and felt awful which partly drove her to change her diet
- Her diet change helped her medical conditions, including skin rash, depression, arthritis, fatigue, etc.
- Reintroduced candy and soy but her autoimmune system freaked out, and she had horrible flare-ups
- Kept cutting foods out that she reacted to
- Got off anti-depressants and other
- Ended up with basically auto-immune
- Mostly meats and limited vegetables
- Now, Mikhaila just eats meat and salt!
- Started with chicken, but cut it out eventually
- Arthritis cleared up, mood got better, itching went away
- Ideally, she eats a ribeye in the morning and a ribeye at night
- Ate 2.5 lbs when breastfeeding, now about 1.5 lbs
