The Carnivore Trap for Women: Why Your Gut Needs Fibre

When carnivore works, when it destroys your hormones, and why you can't avoid fibre forever…

Doing carnivore to "get healthy" but now your period is gone, your libido is dead, and you're snapping at everyone?

Your hormones are crashing. Your gut microbiome is starving. And eliminating fibre forever isn't the answer.

In this episode, I share the truth about carnivore for women:

✨ When it might work: Short-term therapeutic tool for specific autoimmune conditions (4-12 weeks max, under supervision)

✨ Why it crashes women's hormones: What happens to cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormones on long-term carnivore (the test results I see constantly)

✨ Why your gut NEEDS fibre: You can't have a healthy microbiome without it - and what happens when beneficial bacteria starve

✨ "But I can't tolerate fibre": What's actually wrong (SIBO, dysbiosis, inflammation) and how to FIX it instead of avoiding fibre forever

✨ The shadow work: Fear of feminine softness, curves, and nourishment - and what carnivore represents energetically

✨ My stance: I won't sacrifice your sleep, hormones, or nervous system for the last 5kg. Health over aesthetics, always.

This is clinical naturopathy meets priestess wisdom. Body AND soul.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • When carnivore might be appropriate as a short-term tool (and when it's not)

  • Why women's bodies respond differently than men's to extreme low-carb

  • The physiology: what happens to thyroid, progesterone, cortisol on long-term carnivore

  • Why fibre is non-negotiable for gut health (short-chain fatty acids, microbiome diversity, immune function)

  • What's actually happening if you can't tolerate fibre (and how to heal it)

  • The shadow layer: masculine vs feminine energy, fear of softness, set points

  • What your body actually needs (protein + carbs + fats + fibre + diversity)

  • My priorities: nervous system, gut, hormones (weight loss is an after-effect)
