In today’s powerful episode, we sit down with Rebecca Hushman, a certified carnivore coach who went from 69 pounds on her deathbed to thriving in ways doctors never believed possible. Misdiagnosed, gaslit, and battling chronic illness—including C‑diff, Lyme, autoimmune conditions, and severe digestive issues—Rebecca’s story is one of radical resilience and nutritional transformation.
After years of failed treatments, endless antibiotics, and worsening symptoms, Rebecca discovered the healing potential of a strict ketogenic diet and eventually the carnivore diet. Removing oxalates, eliminating plant foods, and focusing on nutrient‑dense animal foods helped her reverse symptoms, gain weight for the first time in years, and rebuild her health from the ground up.
In this conversation, Rebecca shares:
Her journey from chronic illness to full recovery
Why traditional medicine failed to identify the root causes
How keto and carnivore changed everything
The role of histamine, oxalates, and gut health
What she learned about pregnancy on a carnivore diet
The mindset, structure, and daily habits that support long‑term healing
