Have you ever considered going strict carnivore to help with health issues? I met Melanie Thomas at Keto Palooza last year and I couldn’t wait to get her on the podcast to discuss what she has achieved by following a carnivore protocol. She and her entire family are following a ketogenic or carnivore diet. She’s reversed multiple health issues and has basically turned her life around. I enjoyed hearing what she had to say and I know you will as well.

 

What we discussed:

 

• What got her into the keto carnivore space initially (1:10:
• Her health concerns (2:08)
• Poor nutrition that started at a very early age (7:41)
• Handling family and friend’s reactions to a new lifestyle (11:09)
• Being more in tune with her body and what makes her feel good (14:19)
• Flexibility with her children’s diets (16:45)
• Taking care of yourself now to avoid health problems in older age (21:50)
