140. Eric Keto Five O: From Trauma to Transformation. Eric Reynolds on Healing, Carnivore, and Cops & Campers
About this episode
In this raw and powerful episode, retired police officer Eric Reynolds—aka Keto Five-O—shares his extraordinary journey from line-of-duty trauma, addiction, and chronic illness to radical healing through the carnivore lifestyle. After surviving a shooting, battling PTSD, and facing a terrifying heart disease diagnosis, Eric turned to keto and carnivore nutrition, shedding 80 pounds and reclaiming his physical and mental health.
He opens up about quitting alcohol, detoxing from heavy metals and mold, and the emotional toll of police work. Now a certified nutritionist and founder of the nonprofit Cops & Campers, Eric is on a mission to help first responders heal through community, nature, and metabolic health.
🚓 Topics include:
PTSD, heart disease, and the hidden costs of police culture
Keto vs. carnivore: what worked, what healed
Detoxing from mold, mercury, and trauma
Raising carnivore kids and rebuilding family life
Cops & Campers: a movement for healing in nature
Why community and simplicity are the new medicine
The spiritual and emotional clarity that comes with meat-based living
This episode is a lifeline for anyone stuck in survival mode. Eric’s story is proof that healing is possible—and that sometimes, the most powerful transformation begins with a steak and a prayer.
