Jodelle’s bloodwork revealed she had hypothyroidism. After receiving the news, she adopted a strict carnivore diet, eating only meat. Her results were life-changing, and she was able to heal in numerous ways.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone. When someone is deficient in thyroid hormones, their heart rate, body temperature, and metabolism are often irregular. Jodelle experienced some common symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, dry skin, and unexplained weight gain.
In an effort to bring back normal function to her thyroid, Jodelle adopted a carnivore diet to see if she could reverse the condition without having to take thyroid replacement medication. Risks of treatment can include osteoporosis, weight gain, joint pain, autoimmune issues, and changes to the menstrual cycle.
After implementing the diet, Jodelle noticed numerous improvements in her health that can be associated with better thyroid function. “Based on my results, I am convinced now that the all-meat diet is the absolute very best thing I can do to heal my thyroid!”
One of the most welcome changes for Jodelle was the return of her menstrual cycle. When the thyroid is being attacked by the immune system, sometimes the ovaries are affected as well, causing amenorrhea, the loss of the normal menstrual cycle. If not treated, it can lead to early menopause before age 40.
Thankfully, Jodelle was able to restore normal menstrual function once she switched to eating only meat for several months. “My period came back after seven months of not having one!”
As Jodelle’s body began to heal, she was sleeping better than ever and noticed outward signs of healing as well. “My skin, hair, and nails are now smooth and shiny. My hair and nails are growing super fast, and I no longer have dry skin.”
Jodelle’s mental health is also better since she eliminated plant foods from her diet. “My anxiety is gone, period!” She had previously suffered from mild-to-moderate anxiety since she was 15 years old. “My mood is through the roof! I’ve always been a happy person, but I don’t have any anxiety anymore.”
Jodelle improved her strength training and is building more muscle following Dr. Shawn Baker’s fitness program, CTS (Carnivore Training System.) “My workouts are stellar! I’m progressing with weightlifting and implementing Dr. Baker’s CTS program with great results.”
The goal of the program is to provide muscle conditioning, stamina, and the ability to move quickly through sprints. With this system, Jodelle is convinced that fitness and nutrition should be simple.
While limiting oneself to eating animal products may seem restrictive, Jodelle has found freedom on a carnivore diet. She encourages her followers to “think logically” about nutrition and not overcomplicate things.
“My appetite is regulated now. I used to think about food constantly and dwell on when my next meal would be. I’m now less hungry throughout the day, and when I do eat, meat is all I want!”
