The carnivore diet is exactly what it sounds like

The carnivore diet is exactly what it sounds like - a diet centered exclusively around animal-based foods. 🥩🍳

Why Are People Flocking to It? Here’s what they’re reporting:

1. Reversing Autoimmune Conditions 🔥

One of the most talked-about benefits is its ability to potentially help with autoimmune conditions. Many carnivore diet followers have shared stories of improved symptoms from issues like arthritis, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis. Could removing inflammatory foods like grains, legumes, and even certain veggies be the secret weapon? People think so! 🤔

2. Metabolic Health Improvements 🫀

Struggling with blood sugar or blood pressure problems? The carnivore diet has shown promise for those with diabetes and hypertension. The absence of processed carbs and sugars allows individuals to stabilize their blood sugar levels, opening up an entirely new approach to managing metabolic health. 🍖

3. A Boost for Mental Health & Hormones

This might surprise you, but some of the most widely celebrated benefits of the carnivore diet aren’t just physical—they’re mental. Many users report noticeable improvements in mental clarity, reduced anxiety, mood stabilization, and even better hormone regulation. Given how much of our brain function is tied to what we eat, these results make a lot of sense. 🍗

Carnivore and Evolution 🦴🪵🧬

Homo sapiens - that’s us - have evolved over 100,000 years eating diets built mostly on animal protein and easily accessible plant foods (think above-ground vegetables, low-hanging fruit, and berries). It’s logical to connect this ancestral model of eating to why the carnivore diet may work for many people today.

Everyone’s talking about genetic testing after t

Everyone’s talking about genetic testing after that Joe Rogan episode… so let’s break it down. 🧬👇

Your DNA can give you insights into things like;
How your body processes nutrients from food,
responds to caffeine & exercise,
detoxes chemicals in our environment,
what variants are affecting your hormones, immune system and cognitive function,
but it’s not the full story.

Genes load the gun. 🌱
Your habits pull the trigger. 🎯

Here’s what I tell my clients: Use genetic testing as a tool, not a diagnosis. Pair your results with the right lifestyle shifts, and you can build a plan that actually works for you.

💬 Comment “GENES” and I’ll send you a link to book a free 15-minute discovery call so we can explore if this kind of personalized approach is right for you.

Protein powders? Not my go-to drink. 🥄 Why? Bec

Protein powders? Not my go-to drink. 🥄 Why? Because they’re technically processed protein, which can lead to blood sugar spikes. Higher blood sugar = more insulin = fat storage. And I like to keep my insulin levels steady throughout the day.

If I do use protein powder, it’s in my homemade full-fat yogurt with a scoop of peanut butter. 🥜 The fats and protein in the yogurt help stabilize the effect, giving me the benefits without the sugar spike. 💪

This is me trying to eat my biggest meal, mid-day! 👸🏻

Protein 60 grams 💪
Fat 40 grams 🧠
Carbs 12 grams 🌱

This amount of fat and protein keeps me full & focused all day, and the best part, my metabolic health has never been better. My recent blood work confirmed how I’m feeling too! 🏆🩸

I’m generally a low-carb kinda gal - but if that doesn’t work for you, no problem. Finding what works for your individual needs 🧬 is more important for your health > what the nutrition science says! 🧪

If you’re curious about what bloodwork to ask your doctor for, for metabolic health, comment CALL or send me a DM.✌️

Bread reels you back in with a little crunch, a wa

Bread reels you back in with a little crunch, a warm hug of nostalgia, and before you know it, you’re three slices deep, wondering what happened. 🍞😭

Here’s the thing: it’s not all your fault. Processed carbs like bread hit your dopamine centers hard, which is why it feels so addictive. It lights up your brain, then crashes your blood sugar… and the cycle continues.

📉 I’ve worn a continuous glucose monitor—and trust me, bread on its own? A blood sugar disaster. But when I prioritized protein first? A little bread didn’t hit me the same way at all.

It’s not about never eating bread again. It’s about finding the sweet spot for YOU—where you feel satisfied, stable, and in control.

👉 Want to feel more in control around carbs? Start by:
– Building protein-rich meals with simple carbs as the garnish
– Add eggs and avocado to your toast, and only use 1 slice
– Not keeping bread in the house 😅 (and if you do, opt for real sourdough from brands you trust!)

Tag a friend who’s broken up with bread at least 5 times this year 👇

Think about it. Your ancestors didn’t survived predators, ice ages, and countless struggles just so you could sit here and eat microwave pizza while stressing about emails 🤔.

We’ve had over 2 million years of evolution since “Lucy” to craft these incredible bipedal bodies—don’t waste it on processed junk and burnout 🦴✨.

Did you know that small changes in your diet can l

Did you know that small changes in your diet can lead to life-changing results? That’s the butterfly effect...🦋✨

For me, reading @georgiaedemd work on nutrition completely shifted my perspective on animal fat and protein. I discovered that cholesterol from animal fat plays a critical role in brain health. Yet, we’re often told to prioritize plant foods—which simply don’t measure up to what real, saturated fats can do for our mental well-being. 🧠

Here’s the truth many don’t talk about: Poor-quality nutrition studies, often funded by big food companies, push the idea that “everything in moderation” (yes, even barcode foods 😳) is fine. But these processed foods wreak havoc on neurotransmitters, disconnecting the vital communication in your brain. Without enough healthy fats, our brain chemistry just doesn’t function as it should.

Since then, I’ve found dozens of doctors who have discovered in their clinical practice that animal proteins and fats, when consumed as part of a whole food diet, offer incredible potential for improving overall health. This approach doesn’t just support mental health—it also shows promise for enhancing cardiovascular health, managing autoimmune conditions, and even helping to combat cancer. 🤯

Want to know how animal fat and protein can support your mental health? Curious about how much you should be eating? I’d love to help!

Comment “FAT” and I’ll send you a link to chat with me about it!

Not all nutrients are created equal—and neither

Not all nutrients are created equal—and neither is the way your body absorbs them. 🤯
You could be eating all the right foods… but if your body can’t absorb the nutrients, you’re missing out on the real benefits.

That’s where bioavailability comes in. It’s the key to making sure your meals actually fuel you. 💪

🧈 Fat-soluble vitamins need fat
🍊 Vitamin C boosts iron absorption
🥩 Animal proteins = more bioavailable than plant
🐟 Fats can help your body absorb more nutrients

“Eat lunch like a king, dinner like a peasant”

“Eat lunch like a king, dinner like a peasant” 👑👉🍲

Why? Because your body deserves a break too. Here’s how this simple eating pattern has changed my life for the better:

🍴 Better digestion – By having a lighter dinner, my body can focus on recovery and repair while I sleep, instead of working overtime to digest. Trust me, you’ll wake up feeling lighter and refreshed.

🔥 Stable energy levels – Eating my main meal earlier helps me burn through those calories during the day’s activities. It keeps my insulin levels balanced and helps avoid the afternoon slump.

💭 Mental clarity – If I throw in a little fasting, I can slip into mild ketosis. This is SO good for my mental health and overall focus the next day.

Plus, I keep my ketone GKI score super low to help prevent metabolic diseases. These days, with our modern tracking tools and a basic understanding of physiology, it’s easy to live in “prevention mode” and staying ahead of the game. 🙌

Curious about how this might work for you? Drop a comment below and let’s brainstorm together!

🫀 If low cholesterol guarantees a healthy heart… why do nearly 50% of heart attacks happen in people with “normal” levels?

We’ve been told to fear fat, cut cholesterol, and take meds like statins as a one-size-fits-all solution to heart health.

But the real root causes of heart disease go far deeper than one lab number.
