After much research, he signs up for The Primal Health Coach Institute, which aligns with his values. After getting his certificate, he realizes he wants to help people through teaching and lecturing. 

A friend of his suggested, “Why don’t you write a book?“. Over the past four years, he has been researching and working on this book, and it has finally come to fruition. This “model” that he created and developed is a decade of research and reviewing hundreds of articles as well as talking and learning from experts in their respective fields.

Valerie Anne Smith’s journey is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of dietary change in overcoming severe health challenges. Diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at 14, Valerie endured a harrowing 40-year battle with multiple mental health diagnoses, including schizoaffective disorder, clinical depression, anxiety, OCD, and body dysmorphia, compounded by extreme physical health issues.

In 2018, at the brink of despair and after decades of suffering, Valerie’s relentless pursuit of knowledge led her to explore the healing potential of a carnivore diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods like beef, salt, and water. This radical dietary shift, initially met with personal resistance due to years of conditioned fear and restrictive eating habits, gradually quieted the debilitating mental turmoil and reversed her numerous physical ailments. Six years into her carnivore journey, Valerie has not only achieved complete remission from her mental and physical disorders but has also embraced a fulfilling life as a wife, mother, and health advocate. Her story, featured in the Journal of Metabolic Health, serves as a beacon of hope and a powerful reminder that sometimes, the path to healing lies in challenging long-held beliefs and embracing the therapeutic potential of food.
