I have a love/hate relationship with the word Keto. So much that I’m considering changing the name of the podcast!

Keto is absolutely amazing… but most of the time it gets misinterpreted. Most people have a totally incorrect understanding of keto which results in a bad experience.

In today’s episode you’ll learn the three top reasons why keto doesn’t work.

Even though this is the end of season 6, I am not disappearing! Stay in touch on Instagram where I post cooking videos, interviews with health experts, and many more health tips than you’ll get on the podcast.

Fear of constipation is the number one reason I hear people say they don’t want to try carnivore.

In this episode I share 6 tips for getting yourself to go to the bathroom when you are feeling constipated. This definitely applies to carnivores, but can also help people who eat any other diet too.

Pooping, along with sweating, breathing, and urinating, is one of your channels of elimination. If you are not eliminating through these different channels on a regular basis, you become overly toxic and end up feeling worse. Opening up the channels of elimination is one of the most important steps to health. It helps with weight loss, estrogen dominance, puffiness, mood problems, digestive issues, skin rashes, and so much more.

In this episode I bust 6 different carnivore myths that often hold people back from starting or trying a carnivore diet. I address the controversy of organ meats, the expense of eating carnivore, pooping, loosing periods, needing variety in food, and struggling with starting out underweight.

The real magic in busting myths is YOU. It’s all about your experience and listening to your own body. I share my perspective on all these myths, but once you try carnivore for a period of time (at least a month, but please try it longer!) you will be able to work through a lot of these common questions and discover the truth for your body.

Lately I’ve been seeing a trend of arguments and judgement on social media in the carnivore community. I see a lot of extreme opinions around organ meats, grass-fed vs. conventional meat, staying on carnivore forever, hatred of supplements, and judgment on people who choose to reintroduce plant foods.

In this episode I help you learn how to see through the dogma and take charge of your own body. You need to be the boss of your life and stop allowing others to tell you exactly what is right for you. This applies to diet, politics, finances, relationships, etc…

If you find it difficult to know what to believe and you truly need help with your health, then yes! It is challenging to know who is right and wrong. The truth is everyone is different and there is never going to be a one size fits all diet. You must do your own research, listen to your intuition, learn from a variety of experts, and pay attention to what works for you and what doesn’t.

I had the same question when I first started carnivore. I used to fast about 16 hours every day and I would rotate in a 24 hour fast once a week or so. When I started carnivore, I tried to keep up with the fasting and felt terrible! It’s one of the reasons I quit carnivore in the first place.

In this episode I share when, how and why I incorporate fasting into my routine while on a carnivore diet. My fasting schedule definitely looks different now!

I fast differently depending on the week of my cycle, how much fat or protein I’m eating, and if I’m eating any non-carnivore foods.

Not everyone can eat the same meal plan every day forever. Some people will plateau, some will get bored, and some will end up with more serious problems... food cravings, hair loss, anxiety, poor sleep, and painful periods.

In this episode you'll learn if you are a candidate for more diet variation. Should you add more carbs, change your intermittent fasting window, eat at different times, or get more creative with your food choices? Learn how to do it without sacrificing all the progress you've already made on your ketogenic journey.

Do you need more guidance on diet variation?

In a past episode, Season 1, Episode 7, you'll learn much more about carb cycling, the"5-1-1" rule, and how to add more variety to your keto diet.

Most people have these symptoms on either a mild or extreme scale when they eat erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, or any other sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols create fermentation in our intestines that creates gas. It can be painful in your belly and cause very foul smelling gas in some people.

In this episode I'll share which types of stevia and monk fruit I recommend and what hidden ingredients to watch out for. These alternatives to sweeteners can save the day when you are eating a keto diet.

Should you eat salt? Or should you avoid it? Is all salt equal? What about expensive salt?

These are common questions we’ve all pondered at some point.

Today you’ll get a deep understanding of the different types of salt and why certain ones should be avoided and others should be consumed.
