In this episode, Dr. Jockers explores the truth about the carnivore diet—and why it’s not as black and white as many claim. You’ll learn how your microbiome, genetics, and blood sugar stability all play a role in whether this diet helps or harms you.
Find out why some people thrive on a meat-only approach while others crash and burn. Dr. Jockers explains how nutrient density, FODMAP sensitivity, and bile flow can make or break your results.
You’ll also hear the real culprits behind heart disease, why fiber isn’t always your friend, and what markers to watch if you're going long-term carnivore. This episode challenges dietary dogma—and helps you personalize what’s best for your body.
