A Dietitian Challenged My Carnivore Diet

A Dietitian Challenged My Carnivore Diet What would happen if a thoughtful registered dietitian sat down with a physician who recommends low-carb, ketogenic, and sometimes carnivore diets? That is the conversation you're about to watch. This isn't a debate. It isn't about proving one diet is superior to another. Instead, it's an honest discussion about one of the most important questions in healthcare: What should we do when a patient improves on a dietary pattern that isn't considered mainstream? In this video we discuss: ✅ My personal journey from vegetarian and vegan eating to a carnivore diet ✅ Why my irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) completely changed the way I think about nutrition ✅ Why individualized medicine matters more than one-size-fits-all advice ✅ The difference between evidence, clinical experience, and patient outcomes ✅ What the science actually says about low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets ✅ Why I monitor far more than LDL cholesterol ✅ Nutrient deficiencies that can occur on any dietary pattern ✅ When I would stop following a carnivore diet Most importantly... This video is not asking you to become carnivore. It's asking all of us to become more curious. Because good medicine begins with listening to the patient sitting in front of us.
