How Kim Reclaimed Her Health with a Carnivore Lifestyle There are stories that don’t fit neatly into “before and after” photos, the kinds that feel less like a transformation and more like a life being carefully, painfully, and then unexpectedly rebuilt. Kim’s journey is one of those stories. When I first heard her speak, she …
I waited YEARS for this interview. When I say this was my number one bucket-list interview, I truly mean it. From the very beginning of My Zero Carb Life, there was one person I hoped I could someday sit down with, and that person is Charlene Anderson. She and her husband, Joe, have quietly influenced …
Don’t get too hung up on “forever.” A lot of people get stuck before they ever begin because they think they need to answer a very large question: “Can I eat this way forever?” That is usually not the most useful question.

Julie’s Carnivore Success Story Every once in a while, I interview someone whose story reminds me exactly why I keep doing this work. Julie was one of those people.
