Valerie Anne Smith is a health advocate whose story highlights the transformative impact of the carnivore diet. She struggled with anorexia nervosa for over 40 years, alongside other severe mental health challenges like schizoaffective disorder, depression, and body dysmorphia. Despite various treatments—including psychiatric medications and high-carb, low-fat diets—her health continued to decline, leaving her severely underweight with a BMI of 11 for much of her adult life. In 2018, Valerie decided to try the carnivore diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods like beef, salt, and water. This dietary change brought dramatic improvements, helping her achieve remission from both mental and physical health issues. Six years into the diet, she reported a complete transformation, leading a healthy and fulfilling life as a mother, wife, and advocate for dietary intervention in mental health recovery. Her journey has been featured in the Journal of Metabolic Health and shared through podcasts and interviews to inspire others facing similar challenges.
