Emily and I talk about my health journey: from years of plant-based eating and an eating disorder to finding stability with carnivores, and how diet can support recovery from mold illness and CIRS by lowering inflammation and strengthening the gut-immune system. We also cover practical carnivore troubleshooting (electrolytes, fat intake, meat variety, histamine sensitivity) plus the mindset and hope required to keep moving toward root-cause healing. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Emily is part of Malachi’s Message, a nonprofit that supports families impacted by toxic mold through education, community, and resources. Alongside her work in the mold-illness space, she shares lived experience and a mission-forward perspective on what it takes to recover physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
