I recently had a patient come see me who was struggling with her weight in perimenopause. Months before we met when she was desperate for answers... she began following a “perimenopause nutrition expert” online that strongly advocated for the carnivore diet.
When this patient came to see me she had been carnivore for 4 months, lost 7 pounds, but her cholesterol was up 4 points from her last year screening, she was exhausted, and her hot flashes had significantly worsened. These are all symptoms we might expect when a women in perimenopause eats this way.
She had been sold an absolute lie... total misinformation that was actually really harming her health.
It’s scary out there these days to know whats fact, whats opinion, and what’s down right nonsense online, which is why having someone you can ask questions, and get a plan that’s curated to YOU, is so essential.
Don’t make this same mistake, ask for help and invest in an assessment and plan, you’re worth it!
