Half Done Is Well Begun | Dr. Shawn Baker & Cheryl
About this episode
Cheryl adopts a carnivore diet following years of struggling with disordered eating, anxiety, and depression. Switching to this new dietary routine drastically improves her physical and mental well-being. She experiences a notable reduction in anxiety and depression levels, an increase in energy, and a clearer state of mind.
The conversation delves into the nuances of the carnivore diet lifestyle, including navigating social situations, integrating exercise, managing food cravings, and dealing with skepticism or misunderstanding from others. Cheryl develops a preference for steak, and she stops craving foods like chicken and sugar. Sugar, as Cheryl identifies, was a primary trigger for her inflammation.
The practical aspects of maintaining a meat-heavy diet at home are also discussed. Cheryl has an extra freezer for storing meat and looks forward to raising her own food. She has plans to start with chickens on her new property.
Cheryl encourages others considering this lifestyle change to take it slow. Gradually removing elements like sugar and processed foods from their diets is a solid starting point.
