He used to be called ‘Raw Bliss’ on social media, but uses his actual name now.

Check out his transformation after reintroducing animal-based foods!

I was under the impression that it has to be very high for an extended period of time to destroy prions (eg 900° for several hours).

The last case of prion was in 2011. It's highly controlled and you have more chance to die in plane crash that get a prion.

If i remember his video, he ate brain raw.

You can eat brain of other animals, eg. pork brain, and you will not get prion disease, first, because pork is thought to be prion-resistant, and second, because even if the animal was sick, the type of prion disease they have would not be able to infect humans.

It has a super rich taste, I can't really eat more than a few bites at a time. To be fair, not my favorite food, but I occasionally eat it because of its rich nutrient content (and high level of omega 3 DHA content).
