    It’s a Lifetime Way of Eating

    In this episode of Carnivore Evolution, Mark and Victoria take on the trending ideas that carbs are a useful “diet tool,” necessary for appetite, muscle growth, metabolic flexibility, or long term health. They make the case for Carnivore as more than a temporary tool, but a lifelong way of eating. Topics include fat adaptation, cravings, hunger, ketosis, muscle building, visceral fat, ‘insulin resistance’, and the challenges of moving away from carbohydrates. They dig into why some people struggle to become fully fat adapted and how that shift changes everything about hunger and energy, why carb cravings are addiction signals dressed up as biological need, and why “metabolically flexible” gets misused to justify reintroducing sugar. Sleep, stress, training/workouts, and food choices all play a role in hunger too, and the two talk through why patience and consistency matter most when making a change this big. Above all, they encourage doing your own research, understanding your individual response to food, and not giving up when conventional approaches have not worked. Carbs may make you feel better. But what are you feeding?

    Carnivore Got Her Off Her Cane, Too S3E63

    Kim lost 125 pounds/56.6kg, put her POTS* diagnosis into remission, and stepped on a bodybuilding stage after doctors told her she'd need surgery to lose any weight. In this episode of Carnivore Evolution, Kim shares her journey from being 250 pounds/113.3kg and bedridden with POTS* to competing in her first physique show. *POTS is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic functions like heart rate and blood pressure. When a person with POTS stands up, their heart rate jumps fast, usually by 30 beats per minute or more, causing dizziness, fatigue, and a racing heart. Kim lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder that brought on POTS, lymphedema, alopecia areata, and years of doctors telling her what she could not do. Carnivore and heavy strength training changed all of that. What we cover: - Going from keto to Carnivore after a total hysterectomy and a brutal bout of long COVID - Getting off her cane and reversing POTS within six months of starting Carnivore - How EDS changes her approach to training (no warmups, straight to heavy, time under tension over rep counting) - Training to true failure instead of chasing volume, that's driven more growth in less time - Prepping for the ‘Slim to Fit Transformation Show’ and her next goal in the Wellness division - Why she won't take GLP-1 shortcuts, and what she'd tell someone considering gastric surgery - Her GoFundMe for a tummy tuck to resolve recurring belly button infections from excess skin A term Kim uses, deload means is a planned, temporary reduction in exercise intensity or volume. It allows your muscles, joints, and nervous system to recover from accumulated fatigue so you can avoid injuries and keep making long-term strength or fitness gains. Kim doesn’t feel the need to do that because of her lifting approach. Kim isn't a coach. She calls herself a cheerleader for anyone who needs one. If her story resonates with you, support her GoFundMe (linked in her Instagram bio) and give her a Follow.

    He Won Health & Food Freedom

    From a standard American diet of Wonder Bread and margarine to a 40 pound transformation and boundless energy behind the wheel, Scott’s carnivore journey is a masterclass in what happens when you finally stop fighting your biology. As a long haul and local delivery truck driver, Scott spent decades chasing the “eat less, move more” advice that never worked, until three and a half years of research led him to Dr. Sean Baker, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and a species appropriate way of eating that changed everything. In this episode, Scott opens up about his fasting for deep healing, why he no longer battles food noise, and the hard conversations he’s having with his own family, including his 82 year old dad who’s ready to try carnivore again. Scott also shares his day to day eating, from beef tongue chips to a frequent inclusion of organ meat. This is a raw, honest, no filter conversation about addiction, satiation, and what it really means to eat like the apex predator we were born to be. CONNECT WITH SCOTT Scott can be found on Instagram @scottisopi His account originally focused on real estate investing thus the reference isopi (In Search of Passive Income), but recent posts focus on his Carnivore journey and trucking life.

    You Haven’t Tried Everything Yet | Coach Sarah S3E61

    Calories: The Truth is in Here Health Coach Sarah Franklin of ‘In the Buff Wellness’ spent years in pharmaceutical sales, training doctors on cardiac and diabetic medications while quietly falling apart herself. She was thirty-five pounds overweight, with cystic acne, high blood pressure, Sarah had an ER trip for a ruptured ovarian cyst, all while her labs came back “perfect.” In this episode, Sarah breaks down how she went from keto to Carnivore and turned her health, and her career, completely around. Sarah is a Carnivore fitness nutritionist specializing in hormones and metabolism. She’s built a practice helping clients lose weight and specializing in actually keep it off. We get into why calories aren’t the whole story, why high fat Carnivore can backfire just as badly as high protein, and why so many women are chronically under-eating without realizing it. Sarah also shares her take on GLP-1s, why doctors so rarely address diet as a root cause, and what her own daily eating and training routine is like. If you’ve ever been told your labs are fine, but you feel terrible, this conversation is for you.

    A Dietitian Who Gets It | Metabolic Health with Kelly McCullough S3E60

    We talk with Kelly McCullough, registered dietitian, nutritionist, public speaker and health coach Kelly McCullough of Focus Forward Nutrition joins the show to talk metabolic health, root causes over symptoms, and what’s really happening with GLP-1 medications. After 35+ years in clinical practice and her own health turnaround (50 pounds down in five months after a scary lab result), Kelly shares why “normal” blood markers don’t always mean healthy, and how mindset drives lasting change. Kelly’s approach isn’t strictly ketogenic or Carnivore, but her focus on protein, non-starchy vegetables, and steady blood sugar lines up with a lot of what we talk about on this show. It’s a great lively conversation about how conventional nutrition guidance and metabolic health advocacy can actually meet in the middle. Stop chasing symptoms and find the root cause.

    Raw Meat Feeding for Dogs & Cats S3E59

    Mark and Victoria are joined by three guests for a conversation about raw meat feeding for dogs and cats. Mark tells how his late dog Rocky lived 3 years longer than his cancer prognosis of 6 months on an all-meat raw diet. Brett Lee - The Canine Carnivore Guy - returns to share how he transitioned his own animals to a raw, ruminant-focused diet along with his approach to kibble, bones, and building a raw feeding community. Brett also tells how he, too, has lost pets to cancer. Rahim and Tina of the Irish Canine & Carnivore page on Instagram join us to talk through how Tina transitioned Rahim’s guide dog Paris to a raw diet. Tina makes her podcast debut alongside partner Rahim, a returning guest. Find his video in our recent posts. The group covers many topics like why ruminant meat (beef, lamb, goat, deer, elk, etc.) is favored over poultry and pork, how to transition a pet from kibble to raw meat, sourcing meat for pets from local butchers, feeding cats a raw diet, how to add fish in a pet’s diet, guidance on bones, and the emotional side of losing a longtime companion. 🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🥩❤️ CONNECT WITH BRETT Brett Lee, The Canine Carnivore Guy On Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube: The Canine Carnivore Instagram: @the_canine_carnivore_guy Website (coming soon): caninecarnivore.com CONNECT WITH TINA & RAHIM On Instagram: Irish Canine & Carnivore, @irishcanineandcarnivore 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 & The Muscle-Building Myth S3E58

    From competitive bodybuilder to taking TRT at 22, to nearly 100% Carnivore, Monte’s story is one you need to hear. In this episode, Monte shares his journey through bodybuilding, depression, high-volume training, and TRT - and what finally made him realize his diet and training were working against him. We get into why so many young men turn to TRT before fixing the basics, what happens when you don’t eat enough fat, why modern bodybuilding looks so different from Arnold’s era, and how Monte went from training seven days a week to just three, while building more strength and muscle. We also discuss overtraining, cortisol, carbs and muscle building, training intensity, reverse dieting, and how Monte worked his way up to eating over four pounds of meat a day without gaining fat. If you’re a bodybuilder, lifter, or anyone questioning whether the “clean” diet is actually helping you, this conversation is for you.
