37 | From Chronic Symptoms To Hope: MCAS, Insulin Resistance and the Lion Diet | Lynn Divoky

Hey Friend,

If you have been dealing with chronic symptoms for years, getting dismissed, and feeling like you are chasing answers without real help, this episode is for you.

In Episode 37, Cristina Clark sits down with Lynn Divoky, also known as Midlife Carnivore, a retired nurse who spent decades living with unexplained symptoms, saw 17 different types of doctors, and finally received a diagnosis of mast cell activation syndrome in 2022.

Lynn shares what life looked like when her symptoms progressed, including severe reactions, intense fatigue, pain, anxiety, and losing hope. Then she explains what changed when she returned to a strict carnivore approach for healing, and why she later moved into a lion diet to support histamine issues. She also breaks down insulin resistance in simple terms so you can understand why small food choices can keep you stuck.

This conversation is real, encouraging, and full of practical takeaways for midlife women who want to lose weight, reduce inflammation, and feel like themselves again.

In this episode, we cover:
