It Worked Until It Didn't: Personal Carnivore Reflections

After a long break, Ash and Sarah are back for a brand-new season of Rooted in Resilience! In this candid, cozy conversation, the sisters catch up on life updates — from moving homes and building the family compound to lessons learned from one of their hardest (and most growth-filled) years yet.

Then, they dive into a big topic stirring up conversation online: Why keto and carnivore diets aren’t working for everyone.
 

They discuss what happens when “it works until it doesn’t,” how dogma takes over the wellness space, and why even some of the biggest carnivore influencers are now adding carbs back in.

Topics include:

• Updates on Nourish and their Transform Fat Loss program
• Seasonal rhythms, fertility, and finding balance in a busy season
• The emotional rollercoaster of strict diets and food dogma
• What it really means to listen to your body and eat intuitively
• How women (including post-menopausal) are thriving with balanced, pro-metabolic eating

It’s a refreshingly honest and hopeful conversation about letting go of extremes and finding your own rhythm — in health, food, and life.
