Description

In this episode, Tara Thorne breaks down why keto and carnivore diets are not ideal for women in perimenopause—especially when it comes to gut health. She explains that carbs aren't the enemy, and cutting them out can actually worsen gut imbalances, leading to long-term inflammation and poor health. Tara discusses how restrictive, low-fiber diets may offer short-term relief but ultimately harm the gut microbiome. She emphasizes the need for a diverse, plant-rich diet to support healing and calls out the importance of working with a practitioner who understands functional gut testing and nutrition. Her message is clear: you can eat carbs, support your gut, and feel better. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Carbohydrates and Weight Loss Understanding dysbiosis and its contribution to gut symptoms. The role of bacteria in gut health and the production of beneficial or harmful metabolites. Diet Recommendations for Gut Health Potential systemic health problems of Keto and Carnivore Diets, including inflammation, dementia, and cancer linked to poor gut health. Importance of proper stool testing and guidance from a gut expert for determining gut health issues. Your health didn't decline overnight—it took decades of stress, diet choices, and life events to get to this point. True healing requires commitment, patience, and consistency. The women who succeed are the ones who stay the course, even when progress feels slow. If you're ready to commit to deep, lasting change, BOOK A CONSULT WITH TARA HERE.
