Josephine (a.k.a. @theexplanteater) is a 27 year-old ex-vegan and has recently healed ulcerative colitis after transitioning to the carnivore diet after 14 years of veganism. She became vegan at the age of 13 and stubbornly continued with it for the following 14 years, dealing with continual and worsening digestive issues, mental health issues, premature aging, lack of energy, and hormonal imbalances. She finally considered including animal products again last May to see if it would help her colitis and was shocked to find that within a few weeks her severe colitis symptoms had healed (this was while taking no medication). Seeing the healing power of eating these foods led her down the rabbit hole of research, which led to her finding people like Dr. Baker and the carnivore diet, and she has since fine-tuned her diet to continually heal her digestive issues as well as the other issues veganism left her with. She hasn’t had a colitis flare up since June of last year, medication free, which is incredibly relieving seeing as her worst flare up almost killed her. She's now a pretty outspoken advocate for the carnivore diet with a very critical view of veganism.  Find her on IG: @theexplanteater Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 03:00 Blood in stool; fatigue; daily low fevers; diverticulitis 05:30 Ulcerative colitis diagnosis 08:32 Doctors and diet 13:29 Reflexes on veganism 16:51 Faux meats 17:56 Low-fiber vegan diet 22:13 Most triggering colitis on vegan diet 22:58 Disputing veganism 24:48 Animals that die for plant foods 27:45 “You were never vegan” 29:10 Crops fed to animals 30:00 Going back to veganism 30:57 Lapsed vegans, chegans 32:26 Going from vegan to carnivore instead of omnivore 33:36 Red meat and ulcerative colitis 35:42 Ex plant eater on Instagram 38:12 Diet and family 39:30 Supplementing on the vegan diet 41:42 Ethical conflict of interest 42:33 Meat and vegan propaganda 43:25 Carnivore diet is not dogmatic 46:30 Easy to be vegan in New York 49:33 Reincorporating plants 50:35 Vegan messaging See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪
