Food freedom can mean two things: freedom through food (new recipes, new flavors) and freedom from food—when you stop spending your whole day shopping, cooking, snacking, and thinking about your next meal. In this episode, I explain how carnivore, keto, and low-carb eating can increase satiety, reduce cravings, and break the dopamine-driven “food reward loop” so you get your time and attention back.

We cover taste vs satiety, why removing antinutrients can change how your brain and gut respond to food, and how simple planning (bulk shopping + freezing + thawing correctly) makes healthy eating almost automatic. We also discuss light environment basics—because the more your biology is supported (sunlight, less artificial blue light), the less “strict” you may need to be.

In this episode we walk through a standard lipid panel (cholesterol panel) step-by-step—total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, VLDL—and explain what each marker is actually measuring. We also introduce “next-level” risk markers like ApoB (apolipoprotein B) and Lp(a) / lipoprotein(a), plus why cholesterol can shift with fasting, stress, and recent diet changes.

If you’ve ever been told you have “good” or “bad” cholesterol and still felt lost, this will help you interpret your labs with more context and ask better questions at your next appointment.

Boron deficiency on the carnivore diet can be an overlooked issue—especially for people new to carnivore (early carnivores). In this episode, The Boron Trap explains why boron is concentrated in plant foods and how soil mineral content (dry, sandy, water-washed soils) can reduce boron in the food chain. We connect boron to bone and mineral metabolism, vitamin D signaling, and hormone balance (testosterone/estrogen), and discuss how to think about trace minerals, food sourcing, soil quality, and mineral density so you can avoid hidden deficiencies while staying aligned with your diet strategy.
