Hey Friend, If you’re doing carnivore (or low-carb) and you’re not hungry… but you’re also exhausted, cold, sleeping poorly, or feeling “off,” this episode will help you connect the dots. In this interview, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Baker (MD, former orthopedic surgeon) to talk about the hidden trap a lot of women fall into on carnivore: chronic undereating. We break down why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to shift into a more sustainable approach that supports fat loss, hormones, and long-term metabolic health. In this episode, we cover: Why women often undereat on carnivore/low-carb (even when it feels “fine” at first) What undereating can trigger: fatigue, feeling cold, sleep disruption, menstrual changes, metabolic slowdown The truth about the “1200 calories” mindset and why it backfires for most women Protein + fat: why they matter (especially in a low-carb framework) Cholesterol nuance + what matters most for cardiovascular risk (big picture metabolic health) GLP-1 meds (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro/Zepbound): benefits, risks, and the muscle-loss conversation Why strength training is non-negotiable in midlife (and why you won’t “accidentally bulk”) The mindset piece: support, consistency, and building a strong “why” Guest: Dr. Shawn Baker, MD Dr. Baker is the co-founder of Revero and shares about nutrition, lifestyle, and resistance training as foundational tools for health.
