    The Calorie Trap Stole Her Health S3E104

    At just 24, Zori from Bulgaria has experienced years of digestive problems, chronic back and hip pain, depression, fatigue, and menstrual disruption. After years of calorie restriction and eating everything in moderation, she began questioning conventional nutrition advice, and discovered a different way of eating. Her turning point came unexpectedly through her dog. After researching canine nutrition and seeing his digestive and mobility problems improve on a raw meat diet, Zori began exploring low-carbohydrate eating for herself. What followed was a long journey of experimentation, setbacks, and discovering the importance of eating enough food and fat. In this episode, Zori shares how her back pain improved, how exercise and low-carb eating transformed her mental health, why severe calorie and fat restriction left her exhausted and without her menstrual cycle, and how changing her meal timing helped her feel even better. Zori’s message to young women caught in the diet culture trap? Stop punishing yourself, be patient with your body, eat enough, and don’t skip the fat! WHAT HEALTH PROBLEMS IMPROVED? Zori described several improvements during her journey: * Back pain and radiating leg pain * Depressive thoughts * Digestive problems * Energy and fatigue * Menstrual cycle * Weight and body composition Zori’s story describes a combination of improvements associated with low-carb eating, exercise, therapeutic treatment, increased food intake, and changes to meal timing. 🥩 CONNECT WITH ZORI - ZORNITSA ATANASOVA * Instagram: @zorimechkata 🎙️ CONNECT WITH CARNIVORE EVOLUTION -Mark Ennis, health and fitness coach ennismark93@gmail.com, and on both Instagram and YouTube @fitnessbeyondtime01 and @carnivoreevolution2024 -Victoria Olson, health coach and author of ‘Troubleshooting Your Carnivore Diet’ on Amazon https://a.co/d/00WnRF0I , can be reached at carnivoreevolution2024@gmail.com And on Facebook in the group: Carnivore Diet After Age 40. 🎙️ Carnivore Evolution: Follow Carnivore Evolution @carnivoreevolution2024 on your preferred social media platform and podcast app. Our email is carnivoreevolution2024@gmail.com Thank you for watching and listening.

    Carnivore Freed Him S3E102

    From 120 kg to approximately 85 kg. From painful joints to pain-free movement. From constant sugar cravings to feeling genuinely satisfied. Dave’s transformation is a powerful story of discovering Carnivore after a lifetime of conventional dietary advice. Raised in a predominantly vegetarian household, Dave spent decades believing he was doing the right thing for his health. But obesity, sleep apnea, joint pain, and intense cravings for sugar and carbohydrates told a different story. After his doctor recommended Keto, Dave lost 15 kg in six months, dropping from 120 kg to 105 kg. Then he discovered Carnivore. Within just a few days, his joint pain disappeared. Over the following five months, his weight fell further, reaching approximately 85 to 89 kg, according to the figures discussed in this interview. Now, more than a year into his Carnivore journey, Dave describes feeling healthier, happier, calmer, and more in control of his appetite. The constant hunger and relentless cravings that once dominated his life have become a thing of the past, according to his experience. In this episode of Carnivore Evolution, Dave explains why he decided to challenge the nutritional beliefs he grew up with, how he researched Carnivore before trying it himself, and why he believes people should question established advice rather than accept it without investigation. His message is clear: educate yourself, question your assumptions, and discover what works for you. If you’re tired of struggling with your weight, fighting cravings, and starting the same diets over and over again, Dave’s story is one you won’t want to miss.

    PCOS, Anemia & Carnivore S3E99

    From childhood food addiction and severe acne to PCOS, debilitating anemia, depression, and years of failed diets, Varsha’s journey is a powerful story of searching for answers when conventional approaches weren’t working. Growing up between Saudi Arabia and India, Varsha embraced vegetarianism and veganism, trying everything from raw veganism to restrictive, low-calorie eating. Her health continued to deteriorate, and her hemoglobin fell to a dangerously low 5.5. Then she began reintroducing animal foods. Adding eggs and broth was followed by a remarkable improvement in her hemoglobin, and eventually she discovered the Carnivore and meat-based ketogenic lifestyle. In this revealing conversation, Varsha shares her experience with PCOS, food addiction, mental health struggles, hormonal issues, and the challenges of embracing Carnivore in a culture where eating meat can carry significant religious and social stigma. We also explore reverse dieting, chronic under-eating, food cravings, metabolic health, muscle preservation, and why Varsha believes animal-based nutrition has transformed her life. Can changing what you eat change the direction of your health? Varsha explains why she is determined to share her experience with other women who are still searching for answers. Watch until the end to hear why this once-shy woman is now speaking out about her experiences and encouraging others to question the dietary advice they have always been given. ❤️ CONNECT WITH VARSHA * Instagram: @that.ketovore.gal OVERALL THEME Varsha’s personal journey from food addiction, restrictive plant-based diets, and serious health struggles to embracing Carnivore and animal-based nutrition.

    His Insulin Needs Plummet on Carnivore S3E98

    Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as an adult last year, Marc reports his insulin requirements fell sharply during his first five months on a Carnivore diet this year. This substantial reduction in insulin is a highly impressive accomplishment. A year prior to this interview, before his diabetes diagnosis, Marc was eating up to 7,000 calories a day, yet continued losing weight, eventually reaching 155 pounds. His blood glucose was 337, his A1C was above 14, and he was experiencing severe digestive problems and persistent weight loss. Marc began the Carnivore diet five months ago. Here he reports currently using dramatically less insulin - as little as 1-1/2 total unit per day - along with improvements in digestion, sleep, energy, focus, mood, and gym performance. He discusses his transition from bodybuilding macros and sugar cravings, his experience with fat adaptation and continuous glucose monitoring, and his efforts to understand his changing health markers. Important: Marc’s experience is personal and should not be interpreted as evidence that Carnivore reverses Type 1 Diabetes or eliminates the need for insulin. 🥩 CONNECT WITH MARC Instagram: @glucose.godzilla Glucose Godzilla presents content identifying him as a Type 1 diabetic OVERALL THEME OF THE SHOW Marc’s personal journey with adult-onset Type 1 Diabetes and Carnivore, exploring his dramatic reduction in insulin requirements alongside improvements in digestion, sleep, energy, mood, mental clarity, and physical performance.
