In this episode, I reveal the truth behind the viral Carnivore Diet. I share my own experience with the diet from 2018, explaining honestly why it works (the elimination effect) and why it ultimately fails: adherence and rigidity.

I expose the dark side of diet culture: why extreme "hot takes" and crash diets are continually promoted. It's not about your health, it’s about the algorithm. I discuss why the flexible, sustainable "boring truth" is the only path to real health, and how to escape the all-or-nothing mindset to achieve true metabolic flexibility.

Intermittent fasting can be an incredible tool for improving blood sugar, lowering insulin, reducing snacking, and supporting weight loss. But it is not a perfect fit for everyone. And it definitely does not affect men and women the same way.

In this episode, I explain why I stopped using intermittent fasting as my main approach, even though it helped me for years. We talk about the real benefits of fasting, why it often works better for men, why women need to be more careful with it, and how over fasting can accidentally turn into calorie restriction that disrupts hormones and the menstrual cycle.

I also share why fasting stopped supporting my performance as an athlete, how my training changed when I started eating before workouts, and how to find an eating schedule you can sustain long term.

Most people are stressing about the wrong things when it comes to weight loss. Low sodium diets, fiber targets, avoiding every blood sugar spike, hitting exactly 10000 steps, detoxes, challenges, cortisol fear. None of it matters the way you think it does.

In this episode, I break down the ten things I could not care less about when it comes to losing weight, especially if you have insulin resistance. These are the rules that create stress, guilt, and confusion but do nothing for your metabolism. You will learn what actually matters for fat loss, blood sugar, hunger regulation, and long term results.
