From Plant-Based “Health” to Medical Crisis
Tracy grew up on the standard American diet, caught mononucleosis at seventeen, and spent the next decade saddled with chronic immune flare-ups. Believing mainstream advice, she switched to a whole-food plant-based plan for fifteen years. The promised vitality never arrived. Instead she developed relentless bloating, constipation, and fatigue so severe she landed in emergency rooms looking eight months pregnant while doctors prescribed Metamucil and low-fat menus that worsened her distress.

By her mid-thirties Tracy managed clients as a fitness trainer yet secretly endured more ER visits, an appendectomy, and then the shattering diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Twenty-eight rounds of combined chemo and radiation so scorched her tissues that surgeons eventually fitted a permanent colostomy bag. She felt betrayed: she had followed every orthodox guideline and still lost her colon. Post-treatment life brought small-intestine bacterial overgrowth, officially rebranded SIBO, and continued IBS misery.

Discovering Keto-Carnivore and Immediate Renewal
A specialist recommended a staged gut-healing protocol that opened with a fortnight of strictly keto-carnivore eating. Tracy, who had never cooked a steak, pan-seared rib-eyes and ground-beef patties, paired them with sea salt, and braced for disappointment. Instead, within days her abdomen flattened, sharp intestinal pangs faded, and a mental fog she never realized existed lifted like a theater curtain. “I could suddenly see the world in high definition,” she recalls. Inflammation markers dropped, she felt leaner, and her longstanding menopausal irritability calmed.

Living and Coaching on Keto-Carnivore Fuel
Four years later Tracy sustains effortless ketosis, practicing sixteen-hour intermittent fasts followed by two deeply satisfying meals: eggs with butter and sea salt after noon, a night-cap of rib-eye, burger patties, or chuck roast crowned with raw sheep cheese and, on occasion, half an avocado. Ketones anchor her cognition; steady blood sugar lets her train clients without the caffeine crutch that once propped up her mornings. Follow-up labs show a normalized A1C, reduced inflammatory markers, and low fasting insulin.

Paying Forward the Lesson
​Tracy now guides women who suffer similar digestive and hormonal turmoil, teaching them to question fiber dogma, embrace nutrient-dense animal fat, and treat plants as optional rather than obligatory. Her message remains blunt: “I did everything right, got cancer, and still felt awful until keto-carnivore eating healed my gut.” From that vantage, she argues, real health begins when we replace blanket guidelines with personal data, honest experimentation, and the unprocessed foods our bodies demonstrably thrive on.
