Short-Term Tool, Not Permanent Fix

- Extended carnivore can lower T3, raise reverse T3, reduce gut mucin and microbial diversity, and increase stress hormones.
Phase Your Way Into Carnivore
- Prepare your metabolism before carnivore by stepping through low carb then keto phases.
- Do low carb (≤100 g/day) for 2–3 weeks, then transition to keto before trying carnivore.
