The Meat Mafia Podcast

When you listen to Khalil Rafati's story you'll likely be in disbelief. At 33, he was broke and broken. At 109lbs, he had spent the past several years battling a serious drug problem, which ultimately derailed him and left him on the streets of California. His battle with drug addiction sent him on a downward spiral with no end in sight. It wasn't until June 18th, 2003, when Khalil finally snapped. He had reached the end of the road and decided enough was enough: he had to get sober. He tossed all of his prescriptions in the trash and left the hospital, accepting an impending struggle. The next few days left him in the darkest place of his life. The absence of the prescriptions and heroin left him on his knees - in the darkest place of his life. It was the beginning of his turnaround, but it didn't come without a cost. The pain he suffered through those withdrawals propelled him forward. He surrendered to God and began making some serious changes in his life. After getting sober, Khalil began to reconstruct his life and now he's a successful entrepreneur, owning the smoothie bar, Sunlife Organics, author of the book I Forgot to Die, and angel investor in several incredible brands. Our conversation with Khalil was moving. It's a powerful story of overcoming adversity and committing to a healthy life. We talk about how he incorporated animal-based nutrition into his diet to anchor his health as he began to rebuild his life into one he could never have dreamed of just a few years prior. We hope you enjoy!

What is The Meat Mafia Podcast?

The Meat Mafia Podcast is hosted by @MeatMafiaBrett and @MeatMafiaHarry.

We're two guys who walked away from the typical path to carve out something different. Based in Austin, we’re on a mission to figure out what it takes to live a fulfilled life in a world that often pushes us away from meaning.

We have conversations with people we believe can help us, diving deep into the pillars of health, wealth, and faith, as the cornerstones of our mission.

Whether it's challenging the modern food system, questioning conventional health advice, or building something from the ground up, we're here to explore the tough questions and share the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

If you're tired of the noise and ready to find meaning, tune in and join us!
