31 | Dr. Shawn Baker: Carnivore + Metabolic Health - The Truth About Muscle, Fat Loss and GLP-1s

Hey Friend,

If you're doing carnivore (or low-carb) and you're not hungry… but you're also exhausted, cold, sleeping poorly, or feeling "off," this episode will help you connect the dots.

In this interview, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Baker (MD, former orthopedic surgeon) to talk about the hidden trap a lot of women fall into on carnivore: chronic undereating. We break down why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to shift into a more sustainable approach that supports fat loss, hormones, and long-term metabolic health.

• Why women often undereat on carnivore/low-carb (even when it feels "fine" at first)

• What undereating can trigger: fatigue, feeling cold, sleep disruption, menstrual changes, metabolic slowdown

• The truth about the "1200 calories" mindset and why it backfires for most women

• Protein + fat: why they matter (especially in a low-carb framework)

• Cholesterol nuance + what matters most for cardiovascular risk (big picture metabolic health)

• GLP-1 meds (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro/Zepbound): benefits, risks, and the muscle-loss conversation

• Why strength training is non-negotiable in midlife (and why you won't "accidentally bulk")

• The mindset piece: support, consistency, and building a strong "why"

Dr. Baker is the co-founder of Revero and shares about nutrition, lifestyle, and resistance training as foundational tools for health.
