In this episode, Judy shares her unfiltered story that led her from plant-based eating, binge cycles, and a full psych break to the healing she found through a carnivore elimination diet. She walks through what actually happened before she touched meat again, why keto plant-based didn’t resolve everything, and how the first bite of ground beef became the turning point out of eating disorders, depression, and chronic symptoms.

She also breaks down the practical nuance of carnivore with Dr. Eric Westman, including how many carbs some people can tolerate, when carnivore-ish is or isn't enough, when strict carnivore is necessary, why some get stuck, and what I see inside our clinic working with the most chronically ill.

They talk alpha-gal, MCAS, mold, Lyme, nutrient myths, fiber, vitamin C, electrolytes, and why some people thrive immediately while others need a deeper root-cause approach beyond diet alone.

This conversation covers what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to build a meat-based protocol that creates real, sustainable healing rather than perfection.
