Valerie tells us in this interview that she is a carnivore because when she was young, existing on vegetables wasn’t enough and she became malnourished and anxious and depressed. She began several hospitalizations which just lead to an IV tube that was basically feeding her junk food. This didn’t help. Later she had many issues caused by the things she was doing and doctors suggested were a result of a lack of certain proteins and calcium which she wasn’t getting. She tried many things to deal with it but since starting to eat primarily meat Valerie started overcoming 20 physical illnesses and 6 mental illnesses, including anorexia. All thanks to the carnivore diet. She also discusses the benefits of doing an oxalate protocol, which involves slowly reducing oxalate-rich foods to avoid painful oxalate dumping.

Valerie also shares that she has read many books on anxiety and nutrition. She found it helpful as it recommends foods to help with anxiety. Valerie also mentions the importance of finding replacement foods instead of feeling deprived. The trigger for her anxiety started at a young age due to poor nutrition, gut damage from antibiotics, and trauma from her father leaving the family. However, therapy and healing have helped her deal with some of the emotional aspects, but not the mental illness.
