In this conversation, I speak with Britt James about her journey through nutrition, weight loss, and health challenges. Britt opens up about dealing with histamine issues and the frustrations of trying to reintroduce carbs without much success, which often led her back to a carnivore approach. She shares her experiences with different diets, including ketogenic and carnivore, and highlights the importance of mindset and simplicity in reaching health goals. We also dive into the role of exercise, the mental toll of ongoing health struggles, and the nuances of dietary choices, including the use of GLP-1 medications. Throughout, the conversation underscores the need for individualization in diet and the importance of truly listening to and understanding one’s body.
