Have you ever felt like traditional methods just weren't cutting it for your health issues? After wrestling with persistent postpartum symptoms and exhausting all conventional solutions, I decided to take a drastic step and try the carnivore diet. Join me, Allie Kay, on the Selfish Mom Podcast as I recount my 22-day journey on this extreme diet.

Despite my skepticism about such radical changes, I felt it was time to explore this controversial diet to see if it could offer the relief I desperately needed.

In this episode, I share the highs and lows of my experience, from initial discomfort and constipation to the surprising benefits like reduced inflammation, weight loss, and sustained energy levels. I’ll walk you through my daily routine, which includes morning workouts, electrolyte intake, and hearty meals of grass-fed beef, salmon, and backyard chicken eggs. We'll discuss the importance of supplements like magnesium and electrolytes to combat muscle cramps, and I'll provide insights on dealing with occasional dietary deviations. As I extend my experiment to 45 days and plan to retest my blood work, I hope my journey offers valuable insights and inspiration for anyone struggling with similar health issues. Tune in to find out if the carnivore diet might just be the game-changer you need.
