What if the secret to energy, clarity, and longevity wasn’t in pills or powders but in your next meal? Welcome to the Pro-Vitality approach to eating—an animal-based lifestyle that supports hormone balance, mental sharpness, and metabolic health.
I’m Jeff Daubney, Pro-Vitality coach and longevity specialist, and in this guide, I’ll share the science, strategy, and simplicity of eating the way nature designed.
Why an Animal-Based Diet?
The Pro-Vitality lifestyle is about aligning with biology. And that means fueling your body with the most nutrient-dense, bioavailable foods on the planet: animal products.
Animal-based eating prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods from animal sources, such as:
Grass-fed beef
Pasture-raised eggs
Wild-caught fish
Organ meats (like liver and heart)
Raw dairy (if tolerated)
Optional additions: seasonal fruit, raw honey, and fermented foods like kimchi
The Nutrient Advantage
Unlike plant foods, animal-based nutrition provides:
Complete proteins with all essential amino acids
Heme iron, which is more easily absorbed than non-heme iron
Vitamin B12, which is absent in plant foods
Creatine, carnosine, taurine – critical for brain and muscle health
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2) in their active forms
These nutrients support:
Hormonal health
Brain performance
Fertility
Muscle growth
Stable energy
Busting the Myths
You might have heard that meat causes inflammation, heart disease, or cancer. Let’s clear that up:
Studies linking red meat to disease are mostly observational and do not prove causation. High-quality meats from grass-fed animals are not the same as processed meats from factory farms. Saturated fat, when consumed in balance with omega-3s, does not clog arteries but supports hormone production.
As Dr. Anthony Chaffee often says: “Plants are trying to kill you. Meat is trying to heal you.”
What to Eat (Sample Day)
Morning:
3 pasture-raised eggs cooked in grass-fed butter
1/2 avocado
Salted bone broth or mineral water
Midday:
8 oz. grilled grass-fed steak
1 serving of fresh fruit (e.g., pineapple or berries)
Raw honey (1 tsp if active day)
Dinner:
Wild-caught salmon or lamb
Pan-fried beef liver (2 oz.)
Steamed squash or no-plant option
Snacks: jerky, boiled eggs, raw cheese, or nothing (depending on fasting protocol)
Animal-Based for Longevity
Animal-based eating doesn’t just help you feel better now—it promotes cellular regeneration, stable insulin levels, strong bones, and better cognitive performance with age.
It’s particularly powerful when combined with:
Cold exposure (ICCE Method)
Intermittent fasting
Resistance training
Grounding and sunlight
Together, these support mitochondrial health—your body’s energy factories.
Transition Tips for Beginners
Start simple: Meat, eggs, and water. Expand from there.
Prioritize quality: Grass-fed, pasture-raised, wild-caught.
Don’t fear fat: It keeps you full, fuels your hormones, and stabilizes blood sugar.
Track how you feel: Better sleep? More focus? Less bloating?
Stay hydrated: Add electrolytes or a pinch of sea salt to water.
Client Transformation Highlight
One of my clients struggled with brain fog and low testosterone despite eating “clean.” After just 14 days on an animal-based plan, his libido returned, his sleep deepened, and his focus skyrocketed.
You don’t need gimmicks. You need real food.
