Vitamin C is one of the most misunderstood nutrients in the carnivore space. This episode breaks down where vitamin C recommendations actually came from, why RDAs doubled in just 26 years, and how rising sugar intake likely drove that change. I share how glucose competes with vitamin C for absorption, why vitamin C was removed from modern nutrition labels, and why true deficiency is rare, even without fruits and vegetables.

I also address scurvy myths, the sailor paradox, breast milk’s low vitamin C content, and why many people thrive on a carnivore diet without supplementation. Finally, I cover when vitamin C may be appropriate (immune stress, adrenal strain, anemia, detox protocols) and why excess vitamin C can backfire by increasing oxalates and inflammation. 

Carnivore doesn’t fail because of a lack of vitamin C. But context, physiology, and restraint matter more than blanket supplementation.

This episode shares six practical, experience-tested tips for starting or restarting a carnivore or meat-based diet in a way that actually supports healing, hormones, energy, and long-term success. Drawing from years of clinical work with thousands of carnivore clients and patients, Judy Cho explains why most people struggle because they under-eat, under-fuel with fat, mismanage electrolytes, or stack too many changes at once. The discussion shares carnivore as a therapeutic elimination diet, not a weight-loss gimmick, and emphasizes clarity of goals, symptom tracking, and personalization over dogma.

The episode covers how to define your “why,” eat enough food, prioritize fat as an energy source, manage electrolytes, navigate digestive and metabolic transitions, and use food-and-mood tracking to fine-tune results. It also introduces the H.O.M.E.S framework (Hormones, Output, Mood, Energy, and Sleep) as a simple way to evaluate whether this way of eating is moving you in the right direction. If you’re considering carnivore for weight loss, autoimmune issues, metabolic health, or chronic illness, this episode focuses on reducing unnecessary stress, avoiding common pitfalls, and building sustainable habits that respect your body’s signals rather than overriding them.

Fat is not optional
