Reverse Depression, Body Dysmorphia, and Fertility Issues with a Radical Return to Ancestral Eating | Maria Emmerich


Listen Later

What if your body fat could be your fuel? What if food was the key to mental clarity, fertility, and real healing?

Maria Emmerich is known around the world for her work in the keto and carnivore space. What makes her message powerful is how personal it is. She shares her own story of moving through depression, body image struggles, and infertility, guided by ancestral eating and a deep understanding of what the body actually needs.

We talk about the myths in keto culture, why more butter isn’t always better, and how to eat in a way that aligns with your why. She also shares what she’s learned from parenting in a processed food world and how we’ve lost sight of what food is really for. Maria is a bestselling author, speaker, and passionate teacher who has helped thousands reconnect with food in a way that heals.

Key Takeaways

Know Your Why – Your reason for eating this way shapes the whole approach.

Fat Isn’t Free Fuel – Too much dietary fat can stall weight loss and spike blood markers.

Use Your Own Body Fat – Let your body burn what it’s already carrying.

Go Beyond Ribeye – Ancestral eating means organ meats, lean game, and seasonal foods.
