  • 313. How I Got Sick Even on Carnivore - Impacts of Stress and Cortisol. Tips to Go Beyond Diet
    Dec 26 2024

    In this episode, I share some real talk, a personal and humbling experience of getting sick despite living a clean, healthy lifestyle and following a carnivore diet. I share how stress, lack of sleep, and the arrogance of thinking I was invincible due to my wellness practices contributed to my illness.

    I share the importance of balance in diet, hydration, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection to overall wellness. I talk about the need for self-compassion, acknowledging that striving for perfection can often be counterproductive.

    I hope this episode with heartfelt anecdotes encourages you to keep fighting for better health while leading with empathy and resilience. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not just about protocols but also about mindset, connection, and finding strength, even in the darkest moments.

    • Story time
    • Lessons learned
    • Empathy for assisted deaths
    • The truth about invisible illness
    • Tip 1 - importance of diet and hydration
    • Tip 2 - sun (vitamin D) and movement
    • Tip 3 - stress and sleep
    • My latest blood labs

    • What stress does to the body (and how it impacts immune function)
