Journey to Carnivore Diet

The speaker discusses her transformation to a carnivore diet, prompted by health struggles that began after childbirth. Diagnosed with a lupus-like condition, she experienced significant physical limitations for two years, which led her to cultivate a garden as part of her healing process.
