Some people can flip a switch to change their habits, while others may need a more gradual and tailored approach to transition. Maybe you have been a carnivore, ketovore, or keto, but still have some challenges to overcome. I can help with that! Together, we will celebrate every win and learn from every challenge.

Worried that a meat-based diet will be too boring – I got you!

Need motivation? A gentle nudge? A kick in the behind? A good laugh? Ideas on how to stress less? Tips on how to re-frame your thinking? Whatever you need to be successful in your mission – we will do that as a team.

So, how did I get to this carnivore lifestyle? I had an unhealthy relationship with food from early childhood. Binging and eating in general was an obsession – one I could not control.

At my heaviest, I was around 240lbs. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I became anorexic after my first child was born. After my second child, I was bulimic.

Calorie restriction, Weight Watchers, SlimFast shakes, multi-level marketing supplements, prescription weight loss drugs, and so many failed fad diets.

Personally, I have tried so many things to try to lose weight, but what I didn’t realize was that first I needed to heal! I began to understand that food must play a big role in our health.

But it wasn’t until I became a carnivore in January of 2021 that I learned firsthand just how true that is. I started in 2013 with gluten-free, then paleo/whole foods 2014, low-carb 2016, keto 2017, keto-carnivore (ketovore) 2019, and finally CARNIVORE in 2021!

I naturally intermittent fast and occasionally do an extended fast with ease for added benefits. Fasting can be a great tool, but it is not necessary!

So far, I have had improvements in symptoms of Hashimoto’s and PCOS.

My carb addiction, sugar addiction, processed food addiction is in remission.

My eating disorders are gone (I have experienced binge eating disorder, bulimia, and anorexia).

Brain fog and confusion are gone (it had been so bad I feared that I was developing Alzheimer’s at the age of 42).

Cognitive ability is greatly improved.

Hirsutism is greatly improved.

My gums no longer bleed when brushing my teeth.

Hair loss has stopped and new hair is growing.

Depression is gone and anxiety is greatly reduced.

My mood is stable and my sleep is great.

I feel energetic, happy, confident, and strong.

I feel at age 50 the way I should have felt at 25!

I am truly living and thriving, not merely existing.
