I’ve been speaking to so many wonderful luminaries in the low carb and food community, I hope you will go back and listen to my interviews with Fat Burning Man Abel James, Fast Like A Girl author Dr. Mindy Pelz, Nate Palmer, Ben Azadi, low carb vegetarian cookbook author Vasudha Viswanath, natural skin care product founder Gillian Garrett, The Girl Friend Doctor Dr. Ana Cabeca, functional medicine doctor Dr. Alexis Daniels, and food producer Trisha Clark.
For my tenth conversation, I got to do a fun deep dive with carnivore expert and PhD, Dr. Sarah Zaldivar. She has such a relatable back story and whip-smart expertise.
We cover:
the dangers of dirty keto
how what you eat affects your skin
how our origin stories and subconscious beliefs shape our literal shape
the dangers of being an overachiever and a parent pleaser
lack of dopamine it’s effect on negative thoughts
Dose and duration of exercise
keto vs. carnivore and who should do what
coffee and neural pathways
what a typical day of carnivore eating looks like
If you’d like to try carnivore, I strongly recommend getting a coach, and you can reach out to Dr. Zaldivar by emailing her: drsarahzaldivar@gmail.com.
There are some sound twitches that came through on this interview that I’m unable to edit out, don’t let them distract you!
Enjoy this convo, and as always, here’s a link to a computer generated transcript of this conversation, in case you don’t want to listen to the MP3 or YouTube version above.
Dr. Sarah Zaldivar received her doctorate in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition from the University of Miami. She is currently a professor of nutrition at Miami Dade College and a full-time content creator on YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms. For decades, Dr. Zaldivar taught other health professionals and college students alike at the University of Miami and the American College of Sports Medicine about health and fitness, while struggling with her declining health due to following the dietary guidelines. She eventually found freedom from binge eating, acne, weight struggles, fatigue, sugar addiction, depression and anxiety, etc… on a carnivore diet, and that is why she is dedicated to raising awareness regarding our species-specific diet and the challenges that our addictive food environment pose. She also selects a few individuals per month to coach with diet, exercise, and mindset programs. She also offers very popular group coaching and support meetings to troubleshoot a carnivore diet and/or break food and sugar addiction once and for all. Shoot her an email at drsarahzaldivar@gmail.com for information on the schedule and pricing.
You can find Dr. Zaldivar on YouTube and Instagram.
