Nutrition with Judy | Carnivore Diet
The Nutrition with Judy podcast is for people who are tired of surface-level wellness advice and want to understand what is really driving chronic symptoms, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut issues, autoimmune patterns, and complex illness.
Hosted by Judy Cho, Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist, functional medicine practitioner, and author of Inflammation Fix, the show explores root-cause healing through the lens of nutrition, environment, nervous system regulation, clinical pattern recognition, and personal responsibility.
Drawing from thousands of client cases, clinical insights, and conversations with leading experts in nutrition, psychology, medicine, and research, Judy breaks down complex health topics in a way that helps listeners become more informed, discerning, and self-advocating.
After rebuilding her own health through a carnivore elimination diet and a root-cause approach, Judy’s mission is to help people better understand their bodies and live the life they are meant to live, nearly symptom-free.

Can eating more fat stall weight loss, even on a zero-carb carnivore diet? In this episode, Judy Cho sits down with Craig Emmerich to examine why some people lose weight effortlessly on carnivore or keto while others gain weight, struggle with hunger, or see their metabolic health worsen. They discuss dietary fat, protein intake, calories, leptin resistance, muscle loss, fasting, thyroid function, hormones, and why postmenopausal women may respond differently than men.
The conversation also moves beyond macros into the limits of diet itself. Craig shares what years of strict carnivore could and could not resolve in his own experience with Lyme disease, mold illness, CIRS, inflammation, and chronic pain. This episode challenges several popular carnivore claims while offering a more individualized framework for weight loss, body composition, metabolic health, and long-term healing.
We discuss the following:
- The fat debate
- The Randall effect
- Fat gain without carbs?
- Stress, cortisol, and obesity
- Fat threshold explained
- Practical protein and fat targets
- Leaner carnivore satiety
- Nutrition misinformation online
- Adjusting fat intake
- Why carnivore harder isn't the answer
- Why some people leave carnivore
- Where to start for complex cases
