   #52 Josie Lieder Was Vegan for 14 Years. Then Her Health Fell Apart

   Josie Lieder, also known as The Ex-Plant Eater, spent 14 years following a vegan diet before severe ulcerative colitis forced her to question everything she believed about food. In this episode, Josie shares how her health began to decline, why she stayed vegan even through serious digestive issues, and what finally gave her the courage to start reintroducing animal foods. We talk about her transition from vegan to omnivore and eventually to a carnivore diet, why beef was one of the foods she feared most, and what she noticed when she finally brought red meat back into her diet. Josie also explains what nearly five years of carnivore looks like for her today, including the foods she tolerates best, how her approach has changed over time, and why learning to listen to your own body matters more than trying to follow a “perfect” version of carnivore. We also dive into her new book, Coming Around to Carnivore: From Skeptic to Thriving, why she wrote it for people who are curious about carnivore but still afraid of meat, and what she believes both vegans and carnivores misunderstand about each other. One of the biggest themes of this conversation is identity—especially Josie’s advice to never let your diet become so tied to who you are that you become afraid to change when your health is telling you something isn’t working. If you’re interested in the carnivore diet, ex-vegan stories, ulcerative colitis, gut health, autoimmune issues, red meat, animal-based nutrition, or what it really looks like to transition from vegan to carnivore, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. #CarnivoreDiet #VeganToCarnivore #UlcerativeColitis #Carnivore #ExVegan Buy Josie's book here: https://link.amazon/B04383e6R (https://link.amazon/B04383e6R) Josie's website: https://theexplanteater.com/ (https://theexplanteater.com/) Josie's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@theexplanteater (https://www.youtube.com/@theexplanteater) Josie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexplanteater (https://www.instagram.com/theexplanteater)

   #51 The Thyroid Tests Your Doctor May Be Missing | Dr. Heather Stone

   What if your thyroid labs look “normal,” but you’re still exhausted, struggling with your weight, losing your hair, dealing with anxiety, or simply feeling like something isn’t right? In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Dr. Heather Stone, a functional medicine practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We talk about why Hashimoto’s is about more than just the thyroid, why symptoms can persist even when standard thyroid labs appear normal, and why Dr. Stone believes you have to look deeper to understand what may be driving those symptoms. We also discuss the difference between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, thyroid antibodies, blood sugar regulation, stress, hormones, gut health, food sensitivities, environmental exposures, and the testing she uses in her practice. Dr. Stone also walks us through her Thyroid Transformation Blueprint, including comprehensive testing, identifying potential underlying triggers, customized care, coaching, and retesting as your health changes. recording-with-dr-heather-stone We get into nutrition too — including gluten, dairy, ketogenic diets, nightshades, oxalates, and why individual tolerance matters. Plus, I share parts of my own Hashimoto’s journey, including debilitating fatigue, my experience with thyroid medication, CGM experiments, and the ongoing process of figuring out what my body needs. If you have Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, unexplained fatigue, weight-loss resistance, hair loss, anxiety, blood sugar issues, or you've been told your thyroid labs are “normal” even though you don't feel normal, this conversation is for you. 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and let me know in the comments: Have you ever had thyroid symptoms despite being told your labs were normal? 🎧 Listening on a podcast app?
