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.
