Today I'm sitting down with longtime health coach Craig Emmerich to talk about something that’s not often discussed in the keto and carnivore communities: lipotoxicity—a hidden obstacle that could be sabotaging your health goals, especially if you're eating more fat to try to get healthier.

Craig reached out after watching my interview with Dr. Nadir Ali on lipotoxicity, saying he’s witnessed this phenomenon repeatedly in his own long-term coaching practice. In this episode, we dive deep into:

✅ Craig’s background, education, and how long he’s been coaching
✅ What lipotoxicity is and how it shows up in real-world clients
✅ Why some people don’t thrive on high-fat low-carb diets
✅ The percentage of people in Craig’s practice who experience signs of lipotoxicity
✅ How people become lipotoxic before they ever go keto or carnivore
✅ What happens when lipotoxic individuals switch to LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) diets
✅ Signs and symptoms of lipotoxicity—how to know if this could be you
✅ Whether a low-fat carnivore diet is ever appropriate
✅ How Craig uses fasting and exercise to support healing
✅ And yes—we even touch on my recent 8-day sugar diet experiment and what it revealed!

This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone on a keto, carnivore, or low-carb journey—especially if you feel like you're doing everything “right” but still struggling with weight loss, energy, or inflammation.
