📣 I was a guest on Dave Mac’s No Carb Life podcast, and I’m replaying that conversation here. It starts with a checkup at 40, a high LDL, and a question for my doctor: would he give me six months to change my diet?
📋 In this replay, I talk with Dave Mac about how I went from no sugars, no grains in 2017 to a very meat-heavy way of eating. I share what I was dealing with at the time: a high LDL, a statin recommendation, and treatment for bipolar disorder, OCD, and depression. I talk about working with my doctors to come off my mental health medications, what a regular day of eating looks like now, and the foods that still don’t work for me. It’s a quick conversation, so we keep it at the big-picture level.
