269 Days In | Christy Kriese | Less of Me Success Stories Ep. 15

Originally recorded live: August 1, 2024 | Episode notes updated June 2026📣 What happens when a mental health crisis that lasted months finally breaks — not through another medication, but through bone broth and eggs? Less of Me Success Stories welcomes back Christy Kriese, who shares how carnivore became the turning point in a 30-year battle with severe depression and anxiety.📋 Christy Kriese spent decades cycling through depressive episodes that left her unable to eat, unable to sleep, and unable to leave her house for months at a time. After a brutal episode triggered in the fall of 2023 — one her psychiatrist linked directly to a prior post-viral illness — she reached out to host Robyn Dobbins, who she'd connected with on social media months earlier. What started with bone broth and a few bites of food a day became a full shift to carnivore, and the changes that followed went far beyond what either of them expected. Robyn and co-host Scott King talk with Christy about trauma, medication, faith, and what it means to keep showing up for your own healing even in the hardest stretches.🔑 What You'll LearnHow Christy's childhood trauma and family history shaped decades of recurring depressive episodesWhy her psychiatrist connected her worst episode to a prior post-viral illnessHow bone broth and small bites of food became the entry point back to eatingWhat changed physically and mentally once she committed fully to carnivoreWhy finding an accountability partner mattered as much as the diet itself💡 Key Insight"You can't expect something that you're not putting the work in for, and it is work at the beginning." — Christy Kriese🌐 Connect with Christy KrieseX: https://x.com/melovinjesusInstagram: https://instagram.com/melovinjesus22Facebook: https://facebook.com/christy.kriese🌐 Connect with Your HostsRobyn Dobbins: https://robyndobbins.com/ | https://linktr.ee/robyn.r.dobbinsScott King: https://linktr.ee/lessofmewithnsng📚 Resources MentionedBrain Energy by Dr. Chris Palmer: https://www.chrispalmermd.com/Valerie Anne Smith (Episode 6): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7pdkfdoxNI&list=PLprjnr7AxUnwrJ95EP88Sv74mqlgZjGmp&index=8⚕️ 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 Welcome and show introduction2:10 Introducing Christy Kriese3:21 Childhood trauma and the roots of anxiety7:25 First major panic attack and early depressive episodes13:20 Medication, motherhood, and years of stability16:47 A post-viral illness changes everything21:20 A breaking point and the first psychiatrist visit27:51 A difficult medication trial and a turning point34:14 Reaching out to Robyn — bone broth and first bites38:53 Tracking the changes — mental and physical shifts44:40 Community Q&A1:03:05 Final advice and closing🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
