Carnivore from the Sidelines: A Husband's Story | Drew Kriese

📣 Drew Kriese spent 32 years watching his wife Christy fight depression, anxiety, and a mental health crisis that brought their family to its knees. He wasn't the one going carnivore — she was. But when he finally tried it himself, everything changed.📋 Drew is the husband of Christy Kriese, who shared her remarkable recovery story on Episode 51. In this conversation, Drew takes us to the other side of that story — what it looked like from where he was standing. He watched Christy go from sleeping around the clock and unable to eat, to 900+ days into a carnivore lifestyle that changed not just her life but his, their kids', and their grandchildren's. He also shares his own journey: the carnivore January that turned into two and a half years, unexpected improvements in a degenerative eye condition that had him getting injections in both eyes every six weeks, and what it means to maintain this lifestyle while traveling constantly for work.Note: Drew is a field representative who received work messages during our conversation. You may notice brief visual interruptions, but he can be heard clearly throughout.🔑 What You'll LearnWhat it's actually like to be the spouse of someone in a severe mental health crisis, and what helpedHow Drew went from zero faith in carnivore to two and a half years inWhy he started sharing Christy's story with his own employees — and why it mattersHow a degenerative eye condition that required injections every six weeks has responded since he changed his dietHow to stay carnivore on the road when airport food is working against you💡 Key Insight"When you see your best friend struggling and you can't help her as a husband — that sucks." — Drew Kriese🌐 Connect with Drew KrieseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drew.krieseX: https://x.com/DrewKrieseFor Christy's story, listen to Episode 51: https://youtu.be/9CwpyS_2k0w💚 Metabolic CollectiveWebsite: https://www.metaboliccollective.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/metcollectiveX: https://x.com/metcollectiveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MetabolicCollectiveThe Friends & Family Support Group — for loved ones and caregivers of people navigating metabolic health — meets every other week and can be found at Metabolic Collective: https://www.metaboliccollective.org⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions.⏳ Chapters0:47 Introduction3:15 Thirty-Two Years Together4:33 When the Big One Hit8:04 Finding Carnivore10:54 A Lesson for the Kids22:35 On Being a Caregiver25:25 The Friends & Family Support Group35:47 Carnivore January39:06 Mental Clarity and Unexpected Changes43:10 The Eye Condition49:16 Staying Carnivore on the Road🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
