About this listen

I wasn’t planning to cover the carnivore diet on the podcast, but after a chat at the gym with someone giving it a go, I thought it was worth diving into.


In this episode, I unpack:

  • Why people think carnivore works

  • Why it can work in the short term

  • Where it goes wrong (particularly for performance)

  • And the long-term health risks most people don’t even think about


I’m not here to shame anyone doing it. In fact, I support my clients when they want to experiment - even if it doesn’t align with my own philosophy. But I do think it’s important to go in with open eyes, especially when something comes with serious trade-offs down the line.


Expect to learn:

  • Carnivore might help some people in the short term—but that doesn’t make it optimal

  • Fatigue, poor performance, and low energy are common side effects for active people

  • Long-term risks (like heart disease and poor gut health) aren’t obvious now—but they matter

  • You can get the same benefits by making less extreme changes

  • You don’t need to label it “Carnivore” to benefit from eating more protein or reducing processed food
