154: Wendy Armstrong – Carnivore Nurse

Fabulously Keto

Wendy Armstrong

Wendy Armstrong says:

I have been qualified as a nurse for 26 years. The last 16 of those years has been as a practice nurse in the same practice specialising in the management of Type 2 diabetes. I had always questioned why we treat a disease of insulin resistance with drugs that increase insulin secretion or with insulin itself.

In 2015 I read the 8 week blood sugar diet book and it all clicked.

I started eating low carb myself having gone gluten-free after seeing a naturopath in 2017 to help reverse post viral fatigue then gradually I have transitioned to keto then 16 months ago to a more carnivore way of eating.

Wendy’s Top Tips

1. If you are carnivore, you have to eat the fats – particularly animal fats.
2. Electrolytes are your friend and your saviour.
3. Circadian rhythms and the sun are important – perhaps more important than diet – Get early morning, midday and late afternoon sun every day.
