ANECDOTE

Carnivore Helped Then Plateaued For Sarah

  • Sarah tested carnivore and found it fixed depression, anxiety and IBS initially but later experienced thyroid and weight issues.
  • That led her to add circadian and light work, which produced better long-term hormone balance.
ADVICE

Avoid Overtesting Until Basics Are Done

  • Do basics first and avoid expensive, exhaustive testing unless simple lifestyle changes fail after 60–90 days.
  • Sarah regrets heavy functional testing during her fertility journey and recommends foundational circadian fixes first.
INSIGHT

Circadian Disruption Explains Many Chronic Conditions

  • Circadian disruption underlies many modern illnesses: each organ has its clock and wrong timing impairs repair, gut lining repair, metabolism and hormone signaling.
  • Simple behavior fixes (sunrise, earlier meals, darkness at night) often resolve complex symptom stacks.
