📣 Mimi Morgan went from a hospital bed with Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis, MRSA, and over 25 conditions to medication-free and walking 14 miles — through carnivore and lion diet. This is her story.
📋 In this episode of Less of Me Success Stories, host Robyn Dobbins and co-host Scott King welcome Mimi Morgan, a woman who spent years navigating a cascade of diagnoses, hospitalizations, spinal surgery, and over 13 medications totaling $65,000 a year. After a chance encounter with a former chiropractor who told her to eat fat, Mimi began a clean keto journey that evolved into a full carnivore and lion diet — and changed everything. She is now medication-free, weight training three days a week, and walking distances she couldn't have imagined from her hospital bed.
