The Candid Carnivore - Low-Carb Real Food Coach

The Candid Carnivore - Low-Carb Real Food Coach Healing and weight loss can be a long and lonely, winding road – but the right navigator can get you there safely! I’ve been there! I can help with that!

I'm a certified carnivore coach and certified Human Intestinal Microbiome (gut health) Specialist. I help people all over the world overcome health issues and eating disorders, and optimize weight using awhole food, low-carb, meat-based diet. Healing and weight loss can be a long, lonely, winding road, but the right navigator can get you there safely! Having a lifelong struggle with food, diet, and health in general can make you feel stuck. I want to share what I have learned so you don’t need to spend any more time trying to find what works best for you. My approach is to individualize your mission for health. Some people can flip a switch to change their habits, while others may need a more deliberate and tailored approach to transition. Maybe you have been a carnivore, ketovore, or keto, but still have some challenges to overcome. Together, we will celebrate every win and learn from every challenge. Worried that a meat-based diet will be too boring – I got you! Need motivation? A gentle nudge? A kick in the behind? A good laugh? Ideas on how to stress less? Tips on how to re-frame your thinking? Whatever you need to be successful in your mission – we will do that as a team. So, how did I get to this carnivore lifestyle? I had an unhealthy relationship with food from early childhood. Binging and eating in general was an obsession – one I could not control. At my heaviest, I was around 240 lbs. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I became anorexic after my first child was born. After my second child, I was bulimic. Calorie restriction, Weight Watchers, SlimFast shakes, multi-level marketing supplements, prescription weight loss drugs, and so many failed fad diets. Personally, I have tried so many things to try to lose weight, but what I didn’t realize was that first I needed to heal! I began to understand that food must play a big role in our health. But it wasn’t until I became a carnivore in January of 2021 that I learned firsthand just how true that is. I started in 2013 with gluten-free, then paleo/whole foods 2014, low-carb 2016, keto 2017, keto-carnivore (ketovore) 2019, and finally CARNIVORE in 2021! I naturally intermittent fast and occasionally do an extended fast with ease for added benefits. Fasting can be a great tool, but it is not necessary! So far, I have had improvements in symptoms of Hashimoto’s and PCOS

Brain fog and confusion are gone (it had been so bad I feared that I was developing Alzheimer’s at the age of 42)

Cognitive ability greatly improved

Hirsutism greatly improved

Hair loss has stopped and new hair is growing

Binge eating disorder is gone

Carb and sugar addiction is in remission

Anxiety is greatly reduced – depression is gone

Moods are stable

Sleep is great

Energy is increased

Confidence is up

I feel strong

My gums no longer bleed when brushing my teeth

…and so many more benefits – I truly feel incredible! I feel in my 50s the way I should have felt in my 20s, but didn’t.

Cinnamon Collagen Carnivore Waffle 😍

This is super quick, easy, and delicious and would be a great kids’ snack or breakfast as well!

This is an adaptation of the pizza version I posted previously. I don’t really measure things and I’m no chef by any means. I just sort of throw things together 😆

1 egg, whisked
About 3/8 cup of pork panko
1/2 scoop collagen powder (unflavored)
About 2 teaspoons of half and half (or use whatever you have to get a thick batter consistency)
About 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

Add to a hot mini waffle iron and cook until desired crispness.
Top with butter and enjoy!!

You could also add a bit on vanilla and/or drizzle on some raw honey if you use it and tolerate sweet tastes. 😋

The air is getting colder and dryer, so I’m stocking up on a few of my favorite products! I have SEVERAL favorites, but these are my must-have, can’t run out, won’t live without, tried and true healing, moisture-rich items 😍
So many tallow products out there order their tallow from Amazon and don’t really know the quality or the source. That’s not the case with Buffalo Gal Grassfed Beauty!
This company sources tallow from the very grass-fed animals they raise on their own regenerative farm in Monroe, GA.
Pure, clean, high-quality products from a family-owned farm right here in the US.

Interesting, isn't it? Maybe the rise of ultra-processed convenience foods and snacks, replacing animal fat with highly processed seed oils, GMO produce and pesticides are a huge contributing factor as well. But it's very telling that we can pinpoint exactly when obesity rates rose dramatically.

Insulin is like a light switch. When it’s on, fat burning is off.

Most people think weight gain is just about calories.

But here’s what’s often missing from the conversation: hormones drive metabolism and insulin is the key player.

Insulin is your body’s fat storage hormone.
When it’s elevated, even slightly, it signals your body to store energy rather than burn it.

What does that mean in real life?
➡️ Your body stops using fat for fuel
➡️ Hunger increases, especially for carbs
➡️ You may gain fat even without eating more calories

This state—called hyperinsulinemia—is more common than you think, and it often exists before blood sugar problems show up. That means you could have “normal” glucose but still struggle with weight, fatigue, and cravings.

Want to flip the fat-burning switch back on?

Focus on lowering insulin, not just blood sugar:
🥩 Prioritize protein
🥦 Cut ultra-processed carbs
🚶 Move often
😴 Sleep deeply
🌞 Manage stress

Ask your doctor to check fasting insulin, not just glucose or A1C.

Because until insulin comes down, fat burning stays off.

We’ve been lied to.

You don’t need cereal to be healthy.
You don’t need to fear butter.
And you definitely don’t need to be on meds for life.

The truth?

🔹 Your body doesn’t need carbs.
🔹 Healthy fat doesn’t make you fat—insulin does.
🔹 Real food can lower blood sugar, reduce insulin, and even reverse Type 2 diabetes.

What’s actually radical?

Letting people stay sick when food can help them heal.

It’s time to question the narrative.

And take your health back—one bite at a time.

I have 3 books available on Amazon - one related to real, whole food and health as an e-book. The other two are a creative passion - physical books that are a combo faith coloring book and journal. See them in the comments if you’re interested! And if not, that’s ok ☺️ Just wanted to share ❤️

For those following low-carb or keto (or those carnivores who allow occasional plants in their diet), Equip Prime Protein now has stevia-free chocolate and vanilla protein powder available! Sweetened with coconut sugar and monkfruit extract makes it ok for kids and for those who have trouble with stevia or don't like the taste. Their cinnamon roll flavored protein powder is sweetened this way as well. Link and discount code in comments!

Take care of your own body as though it were your child. Dont give in to every whim, desire, & craving, but do the hard thing and choose what’s best for it instead. Deny the hedonistic impulses and make grown up decisions. 🥰 Don’t just ‘treat yourself’ - treat yourself WELL.
