Dan Go pushed back against conventional health narratives in a recent post, stating that he’s adopted an intentionally contrarian approach to wellness—one that includes more meat, more movement, and more critical thinking.

“I’m at a point where I do the opposite of what mainstream media recommends for health,” said Dan Go in a post on X. “Don’t eat meat? More steak please. Don’t eat eggs? Cool, I’m eating more. Exercise ages you? I’ll see you at the gym. Would not touch their advice with a 10 foot pole.”

His message reflects a rising trend among fitness and wellness leaders who question dietary and lifestyle recommendations promoted by mainstream outlets and institutions. Rather than avoiding saturated fat or reducing physical strain, these influencers advocate ancestral nutrition and resistance training as long-term health foundations.

This skepticism aligns with a broader movement toward decentralizing health advice and reclaiming personal experimentation. Proponents argue that many modern guidelines are distorted by food industry lobbying, outdated science, or one-size-fits-all thinking.
