✨ One year ago, I thought I was eating all the “superfoods” — leafy greens, nuts, seeds, sweet potatoes, berries — only to discover they were loaded with oxalates that were slowly wrecking my health.


On September 1, 2024 I started easing into Carnivore (more like keto at first). By February 2025, I went all-in, meat-based. What happened next? Oxalate dumping hit hard — painful crystals stored in my joints, skin, and tissues started to release. It was rough, but it was also the breakthrough I needed.


Over this year I’ve:
🥩 Cleared brain fog and gained steady energy
💪 Healed joint pain and inflammation (except during oxalate dumping phases)
🏋️‍♀️ Regained muscle strength and consistency in the gym
🍳 Simplified my kitchen — two meals a day, no cravings, no food noise
💰 Saved money ditching expensive produce, powders, and “health” foods


A huge turning point for me was attending the Steak and Butter Gang meetup in Montana. Being surrounded by like-minded people who understand this lifestyle was truly life-changing. It reminded me how powerful community is when you’re on a path that most people don’t understand.


💡 If you’re curious about Carnivore or want to deepen your journey, don’t do it alone. Find your people — it makes all the difference.


📌 And speaking of community, I’ll be at MeatStock 2026, and I’d love to see you there!

This is my honest look at the good, the bad, the challenges, and the lessons from my first year on Carnivore. If you’re curious about this way of eating, or you’ve tried it and struggled — I hope my story encourages you.
