In this episode, Mike Fave joins me to break down why these diets deliver such fast results early on, how the mainstreaming and commercialization of keto changed the game for the worse, and why so many people are now dealing with the fallout — microbiome disruption, hormone imbalances, metabolic dysregulation, and a much harder road back to feeling normal.

We also get into why carnivore carries its own unique risks, why "keto" today isn't the same diet it was five years ago, and what it actually takes to rebuild and recover once the damage is done.

If you've ever done keto, carnivore, or extended fasting — or you're doing one right now — this episode fills in what usually gets left out.

In this episode:

• Why low-carb and carnivore diets produce such fast early results
• The distinct microbiome risks tied to carnivore specifically
• Why extended fasting and severe restriction can backfire hormonally and metabolically
• What real recovery looks like after prolonged low-carb or carnivore eating
• Why personalization — not a one-size-fits-all diet — is the key to lasting results
