L. Amber O’Hearn has an eclectic background, with academic publications in several fields including theoretical mathematics, cognitive psychology, computational linguistics, and more recently, evolutionary nutrition and biology. She has been studying and experimenting with low-carb, ketogenic diets since 1997 and is particularly interested in evolutionary constraints and interspecies differences. Amber has been eating a nearly plant-free diet since 2009.

Amber was brought up as a vegetarian. When she was introduced to the low carb diet she thought it was crazy.

Amber gained weight and had depression with her low carb diet. She didn’t plan to be carnivore. Initially started carnivore as a three week trial. Even in that short time she noticed her mood stabilise. She found that with this way of eating she could come off her bi-polar medication.

More recently she has suffered with food poisoning which has given her gut issues which she has had to deal with.
