Description
Have you ever considered going strict carnivore to help with health issues? I met Melanie Thomas at Keto Palooza last year and I couldn’t wait to get her on the podcast to discuss what she has achieved by following a carnivore protocol. She and her entire family are following a ketogenic or carnivore diet. She’s reversed multiple health issues and has basically turned her life around. I enjoyed hearing what she had to say and I know you will as well.
