Episode Synopsis

Okay friends, buckle up—this one’s a wild ride! After years of trying every diet under the sun (hello vegan, paleo, keto, you name it), I decided to go full-on carnivore for 75 days—yep, just meat, salt, and water. No salads, no snacks, no sugar… just beef, lamb, and tallow. And what I learned had way less to do with food and way more to do with trusting my body.
 
I didn’t start this to lose weight. I started because I wanted to think differently about health—to strip away all the noise, stop labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” and really listen. And wow… clarity, energy, mood balance, and sleep all improved big-time. I discovered that my body didn’t need caffeine or constant snacks—it just needed me to listen and fuel it with intention.
 
But it wasn’t all steak and sunshine. I talk about the not-so-glamorous detox phase (hello, “keto flu”), the social awkwardness of eating differently, and even how my mindset shifted from restriction to reset. This experiment reminded me that health isn’t a quick fix—it’s a relationship with our body built on curiosity, compassion, and consistency.
 
So no, I’m not telling you to go carnivore (promise!). I’m just sharing what happens when you get quiet enough to actually hear your body’s truth.
