69 | Vegan & Carnivore Friends? Heart Health and Losing Weight | Mae Phillips
Hi Friend, In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina sits down with her friend Mae Phillips for a conversation that is not vegan versus carnivore. Mae is a committed vegan. Cristina is carnivore. They eat completely differently, but they both care about the same thing: helping people get healthier, move away from junk food, and take ownership of their lives. Mae shares her story of serious heart health challenges, including a heart attack in 2015 and later open-heart surgery. She talks about becoming vegan at 57, and why she is passionate about wellness, beauty, confidence, and helping people take better care of themselves. This conversation is about heart health, losing weight, friendship, respect, and finding common ground even when two people do not eat the same way. You will hear why Mae came on a carnivore podcast, why Cristina wanted to have this conversation, and why the way we speak to people matters just as much as the message we are trying to share. ABOUT MAE PHILLIPS Mae Phillips is a Master Esthetician and the owner of Jolie Medical Aesthetics, where she works with clients on skin, confidence, and the long game of taking care of yourself. She came to it through a career built somewhere else entirely. Mae has spent more than twenty years as a business owner in the financial world, and she will tell you that beauty, health, and wealth turned out to be the same conversation held in three different rooms. She is a committed vegan whose interest in wellness runs through everything she does, and she is far more curious about what people have in common than about what any of us put on our plates. She volunteers with her church and travels with her husband and son.

68 | Low Carb Weight Loss: Why You Keep Starting Over on Carnivore
Hey Friend, You tell yourself it is just one bite. Just this once. You will get back on track tomorrow. But then tomorrow comes, and you want it again. And then the next day, you want it again. And before you know it, you are wondering why one bite turned into a week, a month, or another season of feeling stuck. In Episode 68 of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, we are talking about low carb weight loss, carnivore, cravings, food noise, and why you keep starting over. And I want you to hear me. This is not just about willpower. This is not because you are lazy. This is not because you do not want it badly enough. If carnivore does not feel sustainable yet, it may be because you are still trying to build it on shame, perfection, and the same old diet mindset that already failed you. In this episode, we talk about why one bite can wake up cravings and old patterns, why the all-or-nothing mindset keeps you stuck, why chasing weight loss can make you miss the signs your body is responding, and why sustainable carnivore is not built through punishment. It is built through simple meals, fewer decisions, real nourishment, and a foundation you can return to when life happens. Because you do not need another round of starting over. You need a simple place to come back to. In this episode, we talk about: Why "just one bite" can turn into a cycle Why this is not only a willpower problem Why cravings and food noise can get loud again Why carnivore does not feel sustainable when you are still thinking like a dieter Why chasing weight loss can make you miss real progress Why shame does not build a lifestyle Why your why has to be bigger than the craving Why your next meal matters more than starting over Monday How to build a carnivore lifestyle that feels simple, strong, and sustainable If you have been doing low carb or carnivore and wondering why you keep starting over, this episode is for you. Download the Carnivore Kickstart Guide. It will help you simplify carnivore, stop second-guessing your food, and understand what to focus on first so you can stay with it without turning this into another thing you have to do perfectly.

WATCH THE BART KAY INTERVIEW This episode connects back to my conversation with Bart Kay: Bart Kay: Why the Scale Is Lying to Midlife Women and What to Do Instead In that interview, we talk about carnivore, metabolic health, body composition, why the scale is not telling the whole story, and what to pay attention to instead.

67 | Bart Kay: Why Midlife Women Need To Stop Trusting The Scale
Hey Friend, What if the scale is lying to you? In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, I sit down with Bart Kay, also known online as Professor Bart Kay, the nutrition science watchdog. Bart is bold, direct, and not afraid to challenge what we have been told about weight loss, health, food, plants, carbohydrates, fasting, GLP-1 drugs, exercise, and the scale. And this conversation goes there. We talk about why midlife women are so often taught to focus on the number, even though the scale does not tell you what is happening metabolically, what your body composition looks like, how much inflammation you are carrying, or whether your body is actually getting healthier. Bart also talks about why symptom management is not the same as addressing what is happening in the body, why food guidelines may not be adding up, and why he tells people to challenge everything they hear, including him. In this episode, we talk about: Why the scale may be lying to you Why body composition matters more than weight Why getting smaller is not the same as getting healthier Why midlife women need to stop chasing the number Why Bart says the medical system is focused on symptom management Why food guidelines may not be adding up Why he believes carnivore makes sense Why he says no plants, no carbohydrates, and no processed foods What he thinks about fasting and GLP-1 drugs Why short, intense training may matter more than hours of cardio Why grounding and blue light matter in his five health hacks This episode is not for the woman who wants another soft answer. But if you are tired of being told your labs are fine, your symptoms are normal, your weight gain is just age, and your only option is another prescription, this conversation will make you think differently. Before you go, grab my free Carnivore Kickstart Guide. It is for the woman who is tired of guessing and wants a simple place to begin. You do not need another confusing food list. You do not need another person telling you to eat less, move more, and try harder. You need a simple starting point that helps you begin building a carnivore lifestyle that feels simple, strong, and sustainable.

66 | Carnivore Weight Loss After 40: The Real Reason You're Still Stuck
Hey Friend, What if the weight is not the real problem? In Episode 66 of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, I am giving you the first lesson from my new Carnivore Reset Masterclass. This lesson is called Why You're Really Here, and It's Not About Weight. If you are eating low carb or carnivore and still feel stuck, tired, inflamed, puffy, frustrated, or like your body is not responding, this episode is going to speak directly to you. Because you do not need another random tip. You do not need another food list. You do not need one more person telling you to eat less, move more, fast longer, or try harder. You need to understand what your body has been trying to tell you. In this episode, we talk about why weight is usually the symptom, not the real problem, and why the real reason you are here may be exhaustion, cravings, food noise, brain fog, joint pain, inflammation, or the frustration of feeling like your body is working against you. This episode will help you start looking underneath the scale and ask a better question: What would my life look like if my body actually started responding again?

65 | What's Actually Clogging Your Arteries? Low Carb, Weight Loss, Cholesterol, and Metabolic Health with Dr. Philip Ovadia
Hey Friend, What if meat and butter are not what is actually clogging your arteries? In Episode 65 of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark sits down with Dr. Philip Ovadia, MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon, founder of I Fix Hearts, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table and his newest book, Stay Off My Kitchen Table. This conversation is bold, eye-opening, and important if you have ever been told to fear red meat, avoid butter, lower your cholesterol, eat less, move more, and accept midlife weight gain as normal. Dr. Ovadia shares his own story of being a heart surgeon who was morbidly obese, pre-diabetic, and headed toward his own operating table. He lost nearly 100 pounds with low carb, reversed his pre-diabetes, and changed the way he looks at heart disease, cholesterol, metabolic health, food, and prevention. In this episode, we talk about what may actually be clogging your arteries, why cholesterol is not the whole story, why insulin resistance and inflammation matter, what CAC scans can show, why low carb changed Dr. Ovadia's own health, and why he says meat is medicine. One of the clearest things Dr. Ovadia says in this conversation is: "It's not just about heart disease. It's about metabolic disease in general." This episode is for you if you want to understand your body, your labs, your weight, your symptoms, your food, and what may be driving the health issues you have been told are just aging, perimenopause, or menopause. My new masterclass officially launches August 15, but right now you can join as a Founding Member. This is for you if you are eating low carb or carnivore and still feel stuck, tired, inflamed, puffy, frustrated, or like your body is not responding. Inside the masterclass, we are going to connect the pieces that actually matter: food, movement, stress, sleep, and perspective. When you join now, you step in before the official launch, get the Founding Member investment, and secure your place before that window closes. The Founding Member opportunity ends on August 15 when the masterclass launches. Go to https://mycarnivore.lifestyle and join now as a Founding Member. CONNECT WITH DR.

59 | Why Your Carnivore Macros Aren't Working: Dani Conway on Fueling, Fasting, and Root Cause Healing
Hey Friend, If you have been doing carnivore and you still feel stuck, hungry, tired, or confused by all the advice online, this episode is for you. In Episode 59, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, talks with Dani Conway about why your carnivore macros may not be working, why eating meat is not the same thing as fueling your body well, and why so many women in midlife are under eating, fasting too soon, eating too lean, or following hard rules that do not fit their body. Dani shares her own story of being 65 pounds overweight, eating fat free, doing hours of cardio, and still feeling stuck. She explains how low carb, keto, carnivore, and functional medicine helped her understand root cause healing, hormones, gut health, and why weight loss is often a side effect of rebalancing the body. In this episode, you will hear: Why "eat less, weigh less" is the wrong goal for many women What liquid grazing and carnivore grazing look like in real life Why fueling before fasting matters How under eating can keep cravings and hunger loud Why eating too lean can backfire How hormones, gut health, thyroid, adrenals, and trauma can all play a role Why you may need an individualized approach instead of another hard rule My new masterclass is coming August 15. If you are eating low carb or carnivore and you still feel stuck, tired, inflamed, or like your body is not responding the way it should, this masterclass is going to help you understand what has been missing. We are going to talk about why midlife weight loss is not just about eating less, pushing harder, or trying to be more disciplined. You will learn how food, movement, stress, sleep, and perspective all work together when you want your body to start responding again. This masterclass will help you see the shift you need to make so you can stop chasing symptoms, stop guessing, and start understanding what your body has been trying to tell you.

54 | Why Workouts Do Not Make You Lose Weight: What Carnivore Does That Cardio Never Could
Hey Friend, If you have been working out consistently and the weight is still not moving, this episode is going to change how you think about that completely. In Episode 54, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, breaks down why workouts are not a weight loss tool and never were. You have been giving your workouts a job they were never designed to do. And that one misunderstanding is exactly why you can be consistent at the gym and still not see the results you want. This episode will help you stop blaming your effort and start understanding what actually drives weight loss and what workouts are truly for. In this episode we cover: Why workouts do not make you lose weight and what actually does Why food sets the internal environment and workouts work within it Why cardio burns calories temporarily but does not change your metabolism Why carnivore creates the conditions where your body can finally release weight Why building strength is more powerful than burning calories in midlife How the right food and the right movement working together is the real combination Why menopause and perimenopause are not diseases and what is actually driving your symptoms Why moderating processed foods does not work and what to do instead You are closer than you think. You just need the right support around you and you will get there. Xo, Cristina I am excited to announce that I am launching a group coaching program on June 1 and spots are limited.

53 | Her Doctor Said She Was Fine: Root Canals, Weight Gain And How Carnivore Helped Her Heal | Andrea Hansen
Hey Friend, If you have ever felt dismissed by your doctor, told you were fine when you knew something was wrong, this episode is going to hit home. In Episode 53, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, sits down with Andrea Hansen, founder of Brazen and Bold Wellness and a health and metabolic wellness coach passionate about helping women simplify their health and finally step away from the exhausting cycle of dieting, restriction, and starting over. Andrea's approach is practical, realistic, and rooted in lifestyle change over quick fixes. She works with women in midlife who are tired of feeling stuck and overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and are ready to create a healthier, stronger life that actually feels sustainable. Andrea went from 256 pounds to 161 and her body is still changing. She tried every diet. She went doctor to doctor. And the real cause of her weight gain, her skin issues, and her inflammation was sitting in her mouth the entire time and nobody caught it. Two infected root canals from 2020 were silently destroying her health while every doctor told her she was fine. This conversation is raw, real, and full of the kind of clarity that makes you stop and think about what might be going on in your own body. In this episode we cover: How two infected root canals triggered years of unexplained weight gain and skin issues Why doctors kept dismissing her and what finally changed when she worked with a health coach How removing grains, gluten, and processed foods started the healing before she even found carnivore Why less movement and more nourishment was the answer her body needed How weight loss became a side effect of healing instead of the goal Why dabbling keeps you stuck and what strict carnivore did that nothing else could What the body actually needs in midlife for energy, hormones, and metabolic health Why patience and discipline matter more than any quick fix If you are ready to stop doing this alone and you want real support around you, I have something coming on June 1 that was built for exactly where you are right now. I am launching a group coaching program and spots are limited. When they fill up that is it for this round. And the first 50 people on the waitlist will receive a Founding Member t-shirt.

Hey Friend, If you are eating carnivore or low carb and still dealing with constant hunger, cravings, food noise, or stalled weight loss, this episode is for you. Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach explains why fear of dietary fat quietly sabotages results. When you stay too lean, you can feel like you are doing everything right, but your body keeps asking for more. More snacks, more bites, more something. Not because you lack willpower, but because you are not giving your body the fuel it needs to feel safe and satisfied. In Episode 38, we cover: Why eating too lean can drive cravings and food noise How fat supports satiety so you can stay consistent How fat supports hormones and brain health in midlife What to do if you are afraid of calories and weight gain How to tell if your body is asking for more fat Simple steps to make carnivore feel calm and sustainable: Choose fattier cuts like 80/20 ground beef Add rendered fats like butter, tallow, or bacon fat if needed Let hunger be your guide instead of forcing restriction Keep it simple and repeatable so your body can trust you Your 7 day challenge: Pick one fat focused change for the next seven days and notice what shifts. Hunger, cravings, mood, energy, and consistency are all clues. XO Cristina Clark 💌 Come join me inside my free Facebook group, Carnivore Lifestyle for Women Community.

Hey My Beautiful Friend, If you have been doing more and more cardio, eating less, and still not seeing the scale move, you are not alone. In this episode, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, breaks down why endless cardio and restriction can stall progress in midlife, and what to do instead. You will learn a kinder, more effective plan you can repeat each week: two short strength training workouts (plus an optional third), gentle daily walking, and simple carnivore or low carb meals that support metabolism and steady energy so it is easier to lose weight without burnout. This episode is beginner friendly and practical. Cristina walks you step by step through the workouts, how to choose weights safely, what to focus on with form, and a simple cooldown and breathing reset to lower stress and improve recovery.

20 | The Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight: It's Not Your Workouts, It's Your Nervous System
Hey friend, If you've cut the carbs, ditched the sugar, and even started lifting weights, but your body is still refusing to let go of the fat, this conversation is for you. In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, explains why chronic stress, not calories, often locks your body into fat storage and drains your energy, even when you eat low-carb and work out. She introduces the idea that your body is not ignoring you—it is just running on a panic setting. Cristina dives into the new security protocol your body needs, showing you how to install three simple protocols to reset your nervous system: Protocol 1: The "Label and Lower" Technique to interrupt the negative thought loop. Protocol 2: The "Vagus Nerve Reset" (a 60-second pre-meal pause) to signal safety and maximize nutrient absorption. Protocol 3: The "Trust-Based Schedule" to build a gentle, predictable rhythm of sleep, movement, and simple meals. This episode will help you see that the answer is not more effort, but more safety. You will walk away with a clear understanding of why your nervous system is overriding your best efforts and a single, simple practice you can start this week to tell your body the crisis is over so it can finally begin to let go.
