Summary:

In this episode, I sit down with Genevieve “GiGi” Ashworth, aka the Salmon Queen, to discuss her nearly 20-year journey with keto and carnivore-style eating, her experiences navigating serious digestive conditions, and why she prefers farm-raised salmon over wild-caught. GiGi also shares her favorite cooking methods, training routine, and insights on why nutrition should be approached individually rather than following a one-size-fits-all philosophy.

Find GiGi:

Site: https://houseofsalmon.myshopify.com/

Key  topics:

GiGi describes adopting a ketogenic way of eating as a teenager after diagnoses including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and food intolerances, and having her large intestine removed at 21.

She eats around 14 pounds of farm-raised salmon a week, explaining her preference for its flavor, fat, texture, and crispy skin.

GiGi challenges blanket claims about farmed versus wild salmon and emphasizes that farming practices vary; she says she prefers Norwegian and Scottish salmon and names suppliers she trusts.

She discusses checking salmon origins and asking fish-counter staff about suppliers, while noting that product labeling can be unclear.

Her preferred salmon preparations include pan-frying, air-frying, broiling, and crisping the skin; she gives an air-fryer baseline of 400°F and adjusts cooking time to taste.

GiGi recounts her early-morning routine, strength training, daily planks, and preparing for a bikini fitness competition without changing her usual diet.

She argues that “keto” treats can still be calorie-dense, recommends tracking food during weight loss, and says tracking can help identify intolerances.

GiGi’s broader advice is to experiment carefully, notice personal responses, and avoid assuming another person’s diet or routine will work for you.

Key  frameworks:

Be your own guinea pig: test approaches against your own experience and, as GiGi says, blood work.

Dirty keto versus clean keto: GiGi’s distinction between low-carb processed treats and a less treat-centered approach.

Summary:

In this episode, Stephanie Person shares nearly two decades of experience in the ketogenic space and challenges some of today’s biggest keto and carnivore trends. She explains why she views diets as tools rather than dogma, why she questions high-protein carnivore and extreme fasting, and why factors like stress, metabolic health, individual history and lifestyle can dramatically influence results.

Stephanie also opens up about her own approach to nutrition, training and longevity as she approaches 60, the importance of mindset and authenticity, and why true health goes far beyond what you eat. We also discuss GLP-1s, dietary trends, her evolving philosophy on health, and what’s next—including upcoming retreats and her new book.

Summary:

After more than 40 years in bodybuilding, 46 competitions, 17 titles and thousands of clients, Nash has developed a very different philosophy from much of the modern fitness industry.

In this episode of The Low Carb Consultant Podcast, Nash explains why he believes high-carb diets aren't necessary for muscle growth, why he favors high-volume bodybuilding over constantly training to failure, and how moving away from a high-carb approach completely changed his own physique.

We also get into some of his most controversial opinions: why he thinks Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty approach is misunderstood, why chasing strength isn't the same as building muscle, why he doesn't recommend deadlifts for bodybuilding, and why he believes calorie counting misses an important part of the nutrition equation.

At 64, Nash still trains five days per week, eats roughly 250–300 grams of protein per day with very few carbohydrates, and maintains an exceptionally lean, muscular physique.
