Number 1: 400. Can You Really Eat Carnivore for Years? 4 Concerns You Should Know
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Can a carnivore diet actually be healthy long term? It’s one of the biggest questions around carnivore, especially when the conversation turns to nutrient deficiencies, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium, fiber, gut health, the microbiome, and whether an all-meat diet is simply too restrictive to sustain. In this 400th episode of the Nutrition with Judy podcast, I break down four of the most common concerns about eating carnivore long term and look at what deserves a closer examination. We also get into what the nutrition research can and cannot tell us about long-term dietary safety, how nutrient variety differs from nutrient sufficiency, questions around fiber and digestive health, and what actually matters when evaluating whether a diet is working for an individual. If you follow a carnivore diet, are considering one, or are questioning whether carnivore can be sustainable for years, this episode walks through the arguments that deserve more nuance.Concern 1: Is carnivore too restrictive?Concern 2: Nutrient deficiencies and food varietyConcern 3: Fiber and gut healthConcern 4: Long-term carnivore researchWhat to consider for long-term carnivore_____ EPISODE REFERENCESSlides from episodeWork with us one-on-oneInflammation Fix _____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates JUDY CHO RESOURCES ⛑️ Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📕 Inflammation Fix Book 📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles 🎁 Free Resources 📗 Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners _____ *DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Number 2: 399. He Ate Only Sardines for 5 Days. Then We Tested His Blood
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Robert Sikes put the viral sardine fast to a controlled test: five days of eating approximately 18 cans of sardines per day while maintaining roughly 3,000 calories. In this interview, Judy Cho and Robert examine what happened to his weight, blood glucose, ketones, energy, inflammation, hunger, and overall performance—and why his experience differed from the dramatic weight-loss results commonly shared across the keto and carnivore communities. They also review Robert’s bloodwork before, immediately after, and several weeks after the sardine challenge, including arsenic, mercury, lead, cholesterol, thyroid markers, and SHBG. The conversation explores whether sardine fasting produces unique metabolic benefits, what may actually drive the rapid changes people report, and how extreme short-term diets can affect metabolic health, binge-restriction patterns, and long-term weight-loss success. We discuss the following: Sardine challenge previewWhy Robert tested sardine fastingEating 18 sardine cans dailyGlucose rose while ketones droppedWhy people do sardine fastRestriction, bingeing, and quick fixesHeavy metals after sardine challengeThe appeal of extreme fasting Should people fear mercury in sardines? _____ EPISODE RESOURCESKeto Savage WebsiteKeto Savage YoutubeKetogenic BodybuildingSavage Perspective PodcastKeto Brick_____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates JUDY CHO RESOURCES ⛑️ Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📕 Inflammation Fix Book 📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles 🎁 Free Resources 📗 Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners _____ *DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Number 3: 401. What Every Pet Owner Should Know About Food, Vaccines, Medications & Vet Care
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Dr. Judi Keller is a veterinarian who spent roughly two decades practicing conventional veterinary medicine before shifting toward a more holistic approach. After becoming increasingly uncomfortable with how heavily veterinary care could rely on pharmaceuticals and symptom management, she pursued additional training in acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and integrative care. Her work has focused on helping dogs and cats build better health through species-appropriate nutrition, reducing unnecessary exposures, and looking more carefully at the individual animal rather than automatically following a one-size-fits-all protocol. In this conversation, we question some of the most routine decisions pet owners are asked to make and why many of us rarely stop to examine them. We discuss what may be hiding behind familiar pet-food labels, how veterinary recommendations have changed over time, and how to think more critically about nutrition, medications, vaccines, parasite prevention, testing, and other aspects of everyday pet care. This episode is not about avoiding veterinary care; it is about becoming a more informed pet owner, understanding risks and trade-offs, and asking better questions so you can make thoughtful decisions for the animal you love. We discuss the following: Dr. Judy Keller’s backgroundPet longevity versus quality of life Foods dogs should never eatWhat’s really inside kibble?Urinary disease in catsAre all pet vaccines necessary?Potential risks of vaccinationRethinking heartworm preventionFlea prevention without routine medicationRethinking spaying and neuteringWhy fresh food isn’t considered Why working dogs choose meat When bloody diarrhea needs care _____ EPISODE RESOURCESHolistic Dog and Pet Wellness Article_____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates JUDY CHO RESOURCES ⛑️ Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📕 Inflammation Fix Book 📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles 🎁 Free Resources 📗 Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners _____ *DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Number 4: 402. The Real Reason We Fear Supplemental Iodine for Thyroid Health
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Iodine supplementation remains one of the most debated topics in thyroid health. Some practitioners warn that iodine, especially higher-dose forms such as Lugol’s iodine, may trigger thyroid dysfunction, Hashimoto’s, or hyperthyroidism, while others argue that iodine deficiency is widespread and often overlooked. In this episode, Judy Cho examines the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, iodine’s role beyond the thyroid, and why iodized salt may not provide enough iodine for optimal health. The deeper history raises an even more important question: are we blaming supplemental iodine while ignoring other exposures that may have affected thyroid health for generations? Judy explores radioactive iodine, nuclear fallout, contaminated food supplies, and the historical events that may have shaped today’s fear around iodine. She also explains why the distinction between nutritional iodine and radioactive iodine matters before deciding whether iodine is helpful or harmful.Is iodine dangerous for your thyroid?The Wolff–Chaikoff effect explainedIodine deficiency, bromide, fluoride, and chlorideThe forgotten history of radioactive iodine exposureWhat government research found about thyroid riskRadioactive iodine exposureUnderstanding the difference between supplemental iodine vs. radioactive iodine_____ EPISODE REFERENCESThyroid Dose and Risk Calculator for Nuclear Weapons Fallout for the US PopulationExposure of the American People to Iodine-131 from Nevada Nuclear-Bomb TestsCDC Fallout Study Table of ContentsChapter 8 of CDC Results US Before and After exposureHow to Take Iodine Episodes Lynne Farrow InterviewIodine EpisodesFree Iodine Guide _____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates JUDY CHO RESOURCES ⛑️Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📕 Inflammation Fix Book 📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles 🎁 Free Resources _____ *DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Number 5: 403. Why You're Still Sick, Sensitive and Reacting after Removing the Trigger
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Why can mast cell symptoms, histamine reactions, brain fog, fatigue, food sensitivities, and inflammation continue even when your labs look normal or the original trigger is gone? In this episode, I break down the connection between stress, CRH, cortisol, mast cell activation, histamine, the nervous system, and chronic illness, including why mast cells can react before cortisol rises and why standard testing may not always capture what is happening in the moment. We also look at how mold exposure, infections, diet, psychological stress, and nervous system dysregulation can all feed into the same neuroimmune response. If you have MCAS, histamine intolerance, mold illness, CIRS, chronic Lyme, food reactions, gut issues, or persistent inflammatory symptoms, this conversation may help explain why focusing on only one trigger is sometimes not enough. I also cover the feedback loop among the brain, hypothalamus, mast cells, immune mediators, and symptoms; why reactions can continue after an exposure has been removed; and what it means to address both the physical and nervous-system sides of chronic illness without dismissing either.Why Some People Don’t Heal Even After Doing Everything Right Your Stress Response Can Start Before Cortisol Your Cortisol Test Can Look Normal While Your Body Is Still Stressed Why Your Body Prioritizes Survival Over Thyroid Mast Cells Are Like a Smoke Alarm That Won’t Shut Off Mold Exposure and Fear of Mold Can Trigger the Same Stress Pathway Why Normal Mast Cell Labs Can Miss a Flare Stress Can Literally Make Your Gut More Permeable Why You’re Still Sick After Removing the Trigger Mast Cells Aren’t the Root Cause_____ EPISODE REFERENCESWork with us one-on-oneInflammation FixMCAS: Why your body reacts to everything_____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates _____ JUDY CHO RESOURCES ⛑️ Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📕 Inflammation Fix Book 📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles 🎁 Free Resources 📗 Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners _____ *DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
