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.Carnivore and eating disorder recoveryIs food really the best medicineFull carnivore or carnivore-ish dietReconciling traditional teaching with carnivoreNutritional concerns Judy has seenDiseases improved through carnivoreCarnivore and alpha-gal allergyLong-term carnivore safetyAny harm from carnivore dietHair loss on carnivore dietHandling constipation and muscle crampsEPISODE RESOURCESCarnivore Cure Book & Elimination DietComplete Carnivore Diet for BeginnersFood and Mood JournalCarnivore Elimination Diet Cheat SheetNwJ Interview with Dr. Eric Westman Part 1NwJ Interview with Dr. Eric Westman Part 2EFH Personalized Health Plan_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates FIND JUDY CHO⛑️Work with Us 🎙️ Podcast 📺 YouTube 📸 Instagram 👥 Facebook NUTRITION WITH JUDY (NwJ) RESOURCES📘 Carnivore Cure Book & Elimination Diet 📚 Articles🎁 Free Resources 📗 Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners_____*DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
