_____Why do people quit the carnivore diet even after it helped them at first? In this episode, Judy Cho breaks down the most common reasons the carnivore diet stops working for some people, from undereating and poor fat tolerance to electrolyte issues, thyroid and hormone changes, food boredom, cholesterol fears, and the pressure to do “perfect carnivore.”
A carnivore diet can be a powerful elimination diet, but it is not inherently well-formulated. This conversation explains why some people thrive, why others struggle, and how to tell whether the issue is the diet itself, how it is being done, or the body's current state of health.- Cyclical and chronic dieters
- Mind-body connection and the bell curve
- Expectations and disappointments (planning is the antidote)
- Undereating, thyroid and hormone function
- Protein and poor fat tolerance
- Mindset: community pressure, your “why”
- Protect your eyes and ears. 60,000 thoughts.
- Food boredom
- Electrolytes, hormones, thyroid
- Heart disease and cardiovascular risk
- Perfect Carnivore
- Real talk

28 May 2026, 11:00 am - 1 hour 41 minutes386. Sugar vs. Seed Oils vs. Carbs: Which One Is Actually Making You Sick? - Dr. Gary Fettke
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health.
Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com
_____Dr. Gary Fettke and I dive into the real drivers of modern disease: sugar, processed carbohydrates, and seed oils, and which of the three is doing the most damage. We break down the biochemistry of fructose, the polyol pathway, and how LDL particles are affected by diet. We also get into the origins of fat shaming, how pharmaceutical companies shaped public language around obesity, the fiber myth, and why cholesterol is wildly misunderstood. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Dr. Gary Fettke is a retired orthopedic surgeon and one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of low-carb, ketogenic, and carnivore nutrition in Australia. He was among the first in the world to describe the combination of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils as a nutritional model of inflammation and modern disease, a framework he developed back in 2013. Despite being investigated by the Australian medical board for his dietary advocacy, he has continued to push for change in national nutrition policy, helping make low-carb the nationally recognized strategy for diabetes management in Australia. He works alongside his wife Belinda Fettke, whose research tracks the ideological and corporate forces driving flawed dietary guidelines.
We discuss the following:
- Dr. Fettke's background and update
- Sugar, carbs, and seed oils explained
- The polyol pathway and fructose overflow
- Seed oil half-life and inflammation
- Real-world cases and MS recovery
- The biggest dietary culprit
- Obesity stigma and pharma influence
- Cholesterol, LDL particles, and statins
- Lipid subfractions and cardiac risk
- The dietary evolution
- No biochemical need for ingested carbs

Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health.
Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com
_____Is eating a limited diet, such as a Carnivore diet, or avoiding certain foods because they harm you unbiblical? This episode explores what Scripture actually says about food, freedom, and caring for the body. The Bible does not treat medically necessary or health-based food avoidance as sin. Instead, it emphasizes stewardship, wisdom, self-control, and honoring God with your body. While the New Testament removes ceremonial food restrictions, it does not require people to eat everything indiscriminately. Rather than condemning dietary limits, Scripture consistently calls for honoring God with your body and recognizing that something may be permitted yet still not be beneficial to you personally.

_____Is a plant-based pattern like the Garden of Eden diet or the “Daniel diet” the ideal biblical way to eat? This episode looks at what the Bible actually shows about food across different periods: from the plant foods in Eden, to the permission to eat animals after the Flood, to Israel’s dietary laws, and finally to the New Testament's focus on faith rather than food rules. It also considers whether Jesus ate meat and why early Christians were told not to divide over diet. Instead of promoting a single required “biblical diet,” the episode explores how Scripture shifts attention from specific foods to the condition of the heart and to freedom under the new covenant.
