BEYOND TALK THERAPY | Mental Health Starts on Your Plate S3E52

Beyond Talk Therapy: How Carnivore is Reshaping Mental Health Treatment, with Gracie.

In this episode, we talk with Gracie, a graduate student and intern finishing her counseling degree, who’s exploring what happens when you bring nutrition into the therapy room.

Gracie makes the case that diet deserves a real seat at the table alongside talk therapy and medication when it comes to treating emotional distress and psychological disorders, not as a replacement, but as a piece that’s too often left out.

Gracie has followed a Carnivore diet for several years, and so has her mother. Gracie shares what she’s personally witnessed in both of their personalities since making the switch, and why that experience shaped her interest in the connection between food and mental health.

We cover a lot of issues, and she also talks about Bitten Johnson’s work on sugar addiction, and how it intersects with emotional regulation, plus how somatic therapy and breathwork alongside dietary change.

Gracie closes with real talk for anyone struggling right now: change is hard to do alone, so find your people. Whether that’s a spouse, a friend, or an online community, having support in your corner makes all the difference when you’re rebuilding your relationship with food and yourself.
