Nestled six hours northwest of Nairobi, Kenya, sits the small town of Iten. At 8,000 feet above sea level, Iten is marked with lush vegetation and striped with Kenya’s iconic red clay roads.

As someone who has experienced health challenges in the past, I have always been curious about alternative ways of eating. For 18 years, I was plant-based and dairy-free. I even had a large green smoothie every day for breakfast for 15 years. That’s why I decided to put meat back into my diet. It was a game-changer for me, as it restored vitality that...
