  #52 Josie Lieder Was Vegan for 14 Years. Then Her Health Fell Apart

  Oct 2, 202641 min

  Josie Lieder, also known as The Ex-Plant Eater, spent 14 years following a vegan diet before severe ulcerative colitis forced her to question everything she believed about food. In this episode, Josie shares how her health began to decline, why she stayed vegan even through serious digestive issues, and what finally gave her the courage to start reintroducing animal foods. We talk about her transition from vegan to omnivore and eventually to a carnivore diet, why beef was one of the foods she feared most, and what she noticed when she finally brought red meat back into her diet. Josie also explains what nearly five years of carnivore looks like for her today, including the foods she tolerates best, how her approach has changed over time, and why learning to listen to your own body matters more than trying to follow a “perfect” version of carnivore. We also dive into her new book, Coming Around to Carnivore: From Skeptic to Thriving, why she wrote it for people who are curious about carnivore but still afraid of meat, and what she believes both vegans and carnivores misunderstand about each other. One of the biggest themes of this conversation is identity—especially Josie’s advice to never let your diet become so tied to who you are that you become afraid to change when your health is telling you something isn’t working. If you’re interested in the carnivore diet, ex-vegan stories, ulcerative colitis, gut health, autoimmune issues, red meat, animal-based nutrition, or what it really looks like to transition from vegan to carnivore, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. #CarnivoreDiet #VeganToCarnivore #UlcerativeColitis #Carnivore #ExVegan Buy Josie's book here: https://link.amazon/B04383e6R Josie's website: https://theexplanteater.com/ Josie's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@theexplanteater Josie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexplanteater

  #51 The Thyroid Tests Your Doctor May Be Missing | Dr. Heather Stone

  Sep 25, 20261h 3m

  What if your thyroid labs look “normal,” but you’re still exhausted, struggling with your weight, losing your hair, dealing with anxiety, or simply feeling like something isn’t right? In this episode of Meat Matters , I sit down with Dr. Heather Stone , a functional medicine practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We talk about why Hashimoto’s is about more than just the thyroid, why symptoms can persist even when standard thyroid labs appear normal, and why Dr. Stone believes you have to look deeper to understand what may be driving those symptoms. We also discuss the difference between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, thyroid antibodies, blood sugar regulation, stress, hormones, gut health, food sensitivities, environmental exposures, and the testing she uses in her practice. Dr. Stone also walks us through her Thyroid Transformation Blueprint , including comprehensive testing, identifying potential underlying triggers, customized care, coaching, and retesting as your health changes. recording-with-dr-heather-stone We get into nutrition too — including gluten, dairy, ketogenic diets, nightshades, oxalates, and why individual tolerance matters. Plus, I share parts of my own Hashimoto’s journey, including debilitating fatigue, my experience with thyroid medication, CGM experiments, and the ongoing process of figuring out what my body needs. If you have Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, unexplained fatigue, weight-loss resistance, hair loss, anxiety, blood sugar issues , or you've been told your thyroid labs are “normal” even though you don't feel normal, this conversation is for you.

  #50 The “Fat Stacking” Mistake Carnivores Need to Stop Making with Linda Salant

  Sep 18, 20261 hour

  In this episode of Meat Matters, I’m joined by Linda Salant, better known as The Carnitarian, to talk about one of the biggest debates in the carnivore world: are some people eating too much fat? Linda has been carnivore for more than a decade, and we break down fat stacking, high-fat vs. high-protein carnivore, body composition, muscle preservation, and why constantly adding butter, cheese, and fatty cuts may not always help with fat loss. We also talk about making carnivore more sustainable, common mistakes new carnivores make, what to do when weight loss stalls, and Linda’s new book, The Seasoned Carnivore: A Real World Guide to Sustainable Carnivore Living. If you’re wondering whether you need more protein, less added fat, or a more realistic approach to carnivore, this episode is for you.

  #49 Could Candida Be Causing Your Hashimoto’s? Dr. Michael Biamonte Explains

  Sep 4, 202654 min

  In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Dr. Michael Biamonte, founder of the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition, for a fascinating conversation about Candida overgrowth, gut health, leaky gut, Hashimoto’s, and thyroid dysfunction. Dr. Biamonte has spent decades studying Candida, and he explains why he believes Candida overgrowth can contribute to a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms—including fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, skin issues, food sensitivities, and autoimmune conditions. We dig specifically into the potential relationship between Candida, intestinal permeability, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This conversation became especially interesting for me because while I’ve made tremendous progress with my own Hashimoto’s, persistent fatigue has been one of the symptoms I haven’t been able to completely resolve. So naturally, I wanted to know: could there be another piece of the puzzle I haven't looked at yet? We also get into thyroid testing beyond TSH, including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, mineral status, fasting insulin, cortisol, estrogen, and why Dr. Biamonte believes standard bloodwork may not always explain why someone continues to experience hypothyroid symptoms. And then we go deep on Candida testing and treatment: organic acids testing, stool testing, leaky gut testing, probiotics, the gut microbiome, antifungals, Candida die-off, and why Dr. Biamonte says addressing a significant Candida problem can be a much longer process than simply taking an antifungal for a few weeks.If you have Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, or you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” even though you still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

  Aug 28, 202655 min

  At 68 years old, Anita Breeze of Ketogenic Woman says she feels better than she did decades ago—and she has the transformation to back it up. In this episode, Anita shares how she lost more than 150 pounds through keto and carnivore, why she eventually moved toward a stricter carnivore approach, and what she believes women over 50 need to understand about weight loss, protein, muscle, food noise, inflammation, and healthy aging. We also talk about why carnivore can feel less restrictive—not more—once the constant chatter around food begins to disappear, how sardines became such a major part of Anita’s story, and why she believes it is never too late to change the trajectory of your health. Anita also shares the story behind her upcoming book, Carnivore for Ageless Living: A Simple Path to Better Health and Lifelong Vitality, what readers can expect inside, and the special bonuses available during the preorder period—including her Beef, Salt and Water: The Unofficial Guide to the Lion Diet ebook and an invitation to join her private Lion Diet group in November.
