Judy calls herself "the people's nutritionist." She is a certified nutritional therapy practitioner specializing in holistic nutrition. Judy's committed to making wellness accessible to all. That's why she shares her knowledge through this podcast. Judy's book, Carnivore Cure, came out in 2020. Cohost Laura is passionate about promoting carnivore diets for weight loss. Laura credits her triumphant journey from obesity to fitness with a focus on eating meat. The two engage in meaningful discussions to help others improve their lives.
The podcast's topics include metabolic health, eating disorders, and leptin resistance. In one episode, Laura and Judy discuss seed oils. Many health practitioners recommend daily seed oil intake. The hosts offer a contrary viewpoint. They talk about essential fatty acids, production methods, and processed carbohydrates. The episode provides many resources, like Dr.Ben Bikman's findings in his book Why We Get Sick.
In another episode, Judy and Laura visit KetoCon. They focus on conference topics like female hormones, protein, and fasting. The two explain why everyone needs more protein in their diet. Eating 60 grams, they say, is not enough to nourish the body. Understanding the body's needs helps people get the proper nutrition for physical and mental well-being.
Laura and Judy realize that many diet and wellness fads are enticing. That's why they make sure to discuss their pros and cons. In the "Do Challenges Work?" episode, they investigate several recent trends. These include Andy Frisella's 75 Hard method and the #Carnivore75Hard challenge.
Cutting Against The Grain mixes valuable information with vulnerability. Judy and Laura's resources may benefit many listeners. Each discussion demonstrates their sincere desire to help others live happy, healthy lives. However, this podcast is not a substitute for speaking to a medical professional. New podcast episodes come out twice monthly.
