Carnivore Claims & Critical Thinking. A Dietitian Weighs In. With Andres Ayesta

Okay, so here’s the deal. The wellness world is loud. Everyone has an opinion, everyone’s selling something, and half the time you’re left wondering if seed oils are killing you or if kale is somehow controversial now. 🙃 Enter: Andres Ayesta, a registered dietitian and certified spots nutritionist, who’s not afraid to call out the BS. In this episode, Andres and I dig into what’s actually going on behind the wellness curtain—misinformation, political influence, and marketing disguised as “health advice.”We also talk about the personal experiment he’s launching: he’s putting a whole foods diet head-to-head with a strict carnivore diet, all tracked with blood work, DEXA scans, and the whole nine yards. The goal? To get to the bottom of whether the carnivore diet is all it's cracked up to be or whether simply eating a more whole, nutritious diet may be all you actually need. It’s bold, and it’s going to get people talking. And to kick off my brand new series on Debunking Nutrition Myths, we’re taking a closer look at the carnivore diet and debunking a few of its biggest claims—starting this series off with a bang.We also dive into:• Why nutrition isn’t as complicated as influencers want you to believe• What Andres learned from a year on keto• What actually works when it comes to weight loss, mindset shifts, and sustainable change• Andres’ simple “Core 5” strategy that anyone can start using today Whether you’re deep in your own weight loss journey or just trying to make sense of all the noise out there, this one’s for you.Connect with Andres: • Instagram: @andresayesta • YouTube: Andres Ayesta • TikTok: @andresthedietitian • LinkedIn: Andres Ayesta • Website: planosnutrition.com
