What does it take to walk away from everything you’ve been told about food and bet your health on something completely different? For Robyn Herron, aka CarnivorousGrama, it took courage, and the results were nothing short of remarkable.

In just 31 days on the Carnivore diet, Robyn eliminated the eczema that had tormented her skin, silenced the daily anxiety that had become her normal, ended her seasonal allergies, and finally got relief from the IBS that had controlled her life for years. No shots or diet drugs. No complicated protocols. Just meat and eggs.

But Robyn didn’t stop at healing herself. She became a certified metabolic health coach, and made it her mission to bring Carnivore to the people who need it most and hear about it least - adults over 40 and the Black community - two groups that are wildly underrepresented in the Carnivore space, and have the most to gain from it.

In this spirited conversation we dig into her transition story, the Carnivore principles she teaches her clients, and why courage isn’t just a nice word to her, it’s the foundation of every transformation she’s ever witnessed, including her own.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about Carnivore, or you’ve felt like this way of eating wasn’t made for someone like you, this episode will change your mind.

Courage is contagious. Hit PLAY.

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream, and find out why they’re falling in.” - Nelson Mandela

Hello Beautiful Human! Dr. Jocelyn Foran’s story is different. She’s not just a physician, she’s a longtime patient, too.

As a child, she watched and helped her mother battle rheumatoid arthritis. That’s what pushed Jocelyn toward medicine in the first place.

As an adult, she developed ulcerative colitis herself. Doctors told her diet had nothing to do with it, aside from one ingredient in processed dairy (carrageenan). Meanwhile, she had a career as an anesthesiologist and was raising three children, all while unintentionally losing weight, losing sleep, struggling to control her bowels, and watching her medication grow less effective by the day.

Then a colleague mentioned the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, developed to help with celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. She tried it. Within days, everything changed for the better. She moved on to Paleo, then Keto, and finally Carnivore.

Her gastroenterologist was supportive, but still promoted drugs. Jocelyn wishes the medical system understood diet as a foundational treatment, not an afterthought.

She mentions how Abraham Flexner’s 1910 report, reshaped medical school curriculums across North America, and locked in the “pills only” approach we still see today.

Dr. Foran tells us why glucose is so toxic to the body, and how Carnivore works by keeping carbs and insulin as low as possible. As her own health improved, she was able to taper off the now-failing medications she’d relied on for years.

Her larger point? Modern medicine is incredible at acute care. Broken bone, get it fixed. But chronic illness is a different story. They treat symptoms, not root causes. That’s exactly why she brings up Mandela’s “going upstream” quote.

Today, Dr. Foran has a metabolic coaching practice through her website Upstream Metabolic Medical (link below), and shares videos on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok about how very low carb and Carnivore diets can transform chronic illness.

Dr Foran is heading upstream, and she wants to bring all of us with her.

I’m on board. Are you?

We sat down with the esteemed Dr. Anthony Chaffee for one of the most wide-ranging conversations we’ve had on the channel.

Dr Chaffee shared his own Carnivore origin story, which goes back further than most, then we dug into some science and real-world applications across several topics of interest to our community: Carnivore athletic performance (including Dr Chaffee’s own experiences), thyroid health, carbohydrates, insulin, fitness training, and the exploding GLP-1 conversation. If you’ve been waiting for an episode that covers the clinical side without losing the human side, this is it.
