Maggie White

About the author

Maggie

Maggie spent her youth as an armed range rider for a cattlemen's association in the mountains of central British Columbia, protecting herds. She now ranches in central Alberta with her husband, Mac. It's physical work outdoors in every season, including the ones that hit sixty below with the wind.

She was born in 1941, when sugar and other specialty foods were either rationed or just not available. She had a very healthy nutritional start and a mom who insisted on meat-based meals, and she has eaten a carnivore way of eating for most of her life. She has broken her back twice, broken fourteen ribs, frozen her hands three times and taken more head injuries than anyone can count. She is rarely sick, and she still outworks men half her age.

That has made her something of a minor celebrity in carnivore circles. She has done podcast interviews, is featured in the documentary "Healing Humanity", and there is even a T-shirt that reads "When I'm 85, I want to be like Maggie."

The usual reply is "that's just genetics." She doesn't dismiss it. Her parents were both strong, healthy people, and her father's cousin was Sir Edmund Hillary. But genes are a starting point, not a finished product. She spent decades feeding hers real food and asking real, hard work of them, year-round, in a Canadian winter.

She is also the first to say she is one person, and a story, not a promise. What her life shows is that the ceiling on what a well-fed, well-used body can do in its eighties is higher than most of us have been shown.

Now in her eighties she is on a mission to inspire as many people as possible to take intelligent control of their own health, eat the proper human diet, and begin the process of rebuilding their bodies from the inside out.
