CarnivoreDoctor
An Optometric Physician's public journal tracking her move from strict carnivore advocate to a more nuanced approach for managing menopausal health.
This channel began as an advocacy platform for the carnivore diet, hosted by a long-time practitioner and medical professional. It has since evolved into a vulnerable public diary of the host's own health journey through menopause, documenting weight stalls and metabolic shifts that challenge her long-held beliefs. The show now chronicles her process of questioning everything, experimenting with reintroducing carbohydrates, and having open conversations with other health influencers who are also pivoting away from dietary dogma.
“The host's willingness to be publicly vulnerable and change her mind is the show's defining feature. She uses her own body and health data as a real-time case study, moving from a confident advocate to a curious investigator, which is a rare pivot in the often-dogmatic health influencer space.”
