Course Description
Have you ever wondered why rates of chronic diseases have skyrocketed the further away humans have moved from what they were born to eat?
Do you share the same skepticism I have with regards to the "official" dietary recommendations that are issued by large health organizations in bed with the food companies?
Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, weight gain, acne, or an autoimmune condition that you can't seem to completely control?
If so, join me in The Carnivore Diet, where I explain where we have gone so terribly wrong in our quest for better health and fitness.
In this course, I will explain...
the 2 million year history of The Carnivore Diet,
why fat is our preferred energy source and not carbohydrates,
how to transition to a carnivore diet from a Standard American Diet (SAD) - pun intended,
how The Carnivore Diet can help your mental health and waistline,
why the fears of nutrient deficiencies on a carnivore diet are unfounded,
whether or not everyone really needs fiber in their diet,
why heart disease and cancer have no relationship to red meat consumption,
whether dietary cholesterol is really bad for heart health,
how animal protein is the ultimate weapon for binge eating disorder, alcoholism, smoking, and other addictive type behaviors,
and finally, how you can enjoy a variety of delicious meats, eggs, and seafood while improving every aspect of your health and fitness!
Happy Learning, and I hope to see you on the inside!

I was looking for a straightforward introduction to Carnivore diet, so I would better understand YouTube videos on the subject. I am very happy with this course which covers all the fundamentals. Thank you!

This course is a great match for me. Been practicing and studying the carnivore diet for 4 years. Taking this course to strengthen my knowledge base, and add this certification to those I have previously earned for the Ketogenic Diet.

Its not completely explain about carnivore diet. If you dont mind, you need to explain about ketones also, because carnivore diet is subtype of ketodiet which is can trigger ketoacidosis.

Easy to follow and a really good overview of carnivore. Some very good information, well presented. Maybe a little more in-depth detail on some aspects would help.

this course gives me more knowledge about the carnivore diet and it helps me to understand my present job. As a chef, it gives me more ideas to be more considerate to all the customers/guests by giving them healthy food that helps each one of us to be strong and leave long-life.

This course is easy to understand and easy to follow along to. It is a beginner course, but it includes a lot of information that i haven't heard or read anywhere else; it also gives great beginner advice on how to successfully transition into a carnivore diet, and gives meal ideas. I personally enjoyed it very much and will be looking up other courses by Dr. Sarah Zaldivar

It is a great learning tool and it is reinforcing what I have already learned so IMO it seems to be taking me in the right direction. Easy flow and clear speaker with relevant information. I feel that things were explained and made relevant in my journey to being more Carnivore.
