I was recently blessed with an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and share a bit about my wellness journey. I desire to share what has helped me along and inspire others to tend to their healing as I have been inspired by other women’s stories.
Follow-up update to this interview: My mother, age 68, did rip off the bandaid and is now 3 weeks strict carnivore with BBBE (bacon, beef, butter, and eggs). She’s committed to continuing BBBE for the month and may bring in other carnivore foods next month.
Here is the progression of my dietary lifestyle which started with a major overhaul over 12 years ago:
- Gut healing & Sealing (2010)
- Paleoish – GAPS diet
- reduced stressors
- stopped exercising
- Tended to further healing by way of addressing my food addictions (Dec. 2021)
- No sugars & No flours
- Very limited “healthy grains”
- Eat 3 meals a day
- no snacking
- worked on retraining the brain and developing new habits
- Addressed inflammation for greater healing
- brought back in some exercise
- Fasting Like a Girl (autoimmune protocol) (2022)
- Ketovore/Animal Based/Carnivore (2022)
- Lion’s Diet (Jan 2024)
My why is much greater than mere weight loss.
My dedication to embracing a carnivore lifestyle stems from a profound desire to glorify God through transformative self-care. By prioritizing brain health, overcoming food addiction, and addressing longstanding ailments like MCAS, I aim to align with God’s design for my well-being and cooperate with His grace.
This journey towards a Carnivore lifestyle is not merely about personal betterment but also about serving & thriving in my vocation as a wife, mother, grandmother, and caregiver to aging parents. Each choice I make to nourish my body with good foods is a prayerful act, acknowledging that by nurturing my physical health, I am better equipped to fulfill my duties and serve my loved ones with renewed energy and vitality.
This dietary approach allows me to manage my chronic conditions more effectively, providing relief from longstanding ailments that have hindered my quality of life. By embracing a Carnivore lifestyle, I am reclaiming control over my health and well-being, allowing me to THRIVE — all for the glory of God.
