Support your health journey with our private practice! Explore comprehensive lab testing, functional assessments, and expert guidance for your wellness journey. Find exclusive offers for podcast listeners at nutritionwithjudy.com/podcast.
_____
In this episode, Judy shares her unfiltered story that led her from plant-based eating, binge cycles, and a full psych break to the healing she found through a carnivore elimination diet. She walks through what actually happened before she touched meat again, why keto plant-based didn’t resolve everything, and how the first bite of ground beef became the turning point out of eating disorders, depression, and chronic symptoms.
She also breaks down the practical nuance of carnivore with Dr. Eric Westman, including how many carbs some people can tolerate, when carnivore-ish is or isn't enough, when strict carnivore is necessary, why some get stuck, and what I see inside our clinic working with the most chronically ill.
They talk alpha-gal, MCAS, mold, Lyme, nutrient myths, fiber, vitamin C, electrolytes, and why some people thrive immediately while others need a deeper root-cause approach beyond diet alone.
This conversation covers what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to build a meat-based protocol that creates real, sustainable healing rather than perfection.

I break down the nuanced relationship between the carnivore diet, cortisol, and hormone balance—especially during menopause.

_____
Cheryl and I dig into two critical topics in this episode: when and how to approach the Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) protocol with nuance—especially around binders, environmental remediation and how “clean” is actually clean—and secondly the risks of jumping too fast into Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) treatment before other foundational healing steps are in place. Make sure to watch the full interview to learn more.
Cheryl is a lead practitioner at Empower Functional Health, working alongside Judy Cho in a practice that focuses on functional medicine, root‑cause healing of chronic illness, and a meat‑based elimination diet. They bring a holistic and clinical lens to CIRS, environmental sensitivities, and diet/lifestyle interventions.
We discuss the following:

Is CIRS just mold or all mold?
How clean is “clean enough”?
