Ashleigh VanHouten: Carnivore Diet MYTHS, Meal Ideas + Pro Tips
Click An Icon Below To Subscribe
In this episode health coach and author Ashleigh VanHouten gives us a full rundown on the carnivore diet from debunking common myths to understanding the health benefits of eating more animal protein (including organ meats + collagen!). By taking cues from our ancestors we see just how far we've moved away from using all parts of the animal and therefore, how our health has evolved and changed as well - not necessarily always for the better. Plus, she gives us some practical tips on how to actually incorporate these nutrient-dense foods into our diet.
Ashleigh is a health coach, speaker, podcast host, and author of one of the only nose-to-tail, organ-meat centric cookbooks in existence, called It Takes Guts. Her new book is called Carnivore-ish. She is the host of the Muscle Maven Radio podcast, downloaded more than 1.5 million times, where she interviews some of the leading minds in exercise and nutrition methodology and overall wellness. Ashleigh is also a consultant in the fitness industry, helping others build their brand and communicate their messages to the world. She’s developed a range of coaching programs and workshops aimed at improving physical strength, overall wellness, and a deeper understanding of our bodies and optimal health, including Muscle Science for Women and the Jacked Back Pull-Up Program.
