25 | One Bite Of Bread, 3 Weeks Of Pain, Karen Miles 6-Year Carnivore Story.

Hey Friend,

Welcome back to Carnivore Lifestyle for Women. I am your host, Cristina Clark, and I am so glad you are here.

In today’s episode, you are going to hear from Karen Miles, a 66 year old retired PE teacher who just celebrated her six year carniversary. Karen shares what life felt like before carnivore, how she lived with constant inflammation and pain, and the moment she realized her body was not “fine” when one bread choice triggered three weeks of ankle pain.

We also talk about the real life side of staying consistent, like what to do at parties and restaurants, how to travel with meat so you are not stuck relying on willpower, and why having a clear why matters when cravings and food noise try to pull you back into old patterns.

If you are a midlife woman who feels stuck, inflamed, or tired of starting over, this conversation will encourage you and give you practical ideas you can actually use.

24 | Meal Prep Is Blocking You From Losing Weight: The 30-Minute Carnivore Fix

Hello My Friend,

If meal prep feels like it takes over your whole week, you are not failing. You are trying to do too much. In this episode, I share a simple 30 minute carnivore meal prep system to cut decision fatigue and make it easier to lose weight without feeling like you live in the kitchen.

You will learn how to pick one protein, cook a double batch, portion it into glass containers, freeze half, and repeat a basic plate of protein, fat, and salt. I also share how simplifying meals, using a quick backup plan, and reducing variety can support consistency, steadier energy, and sustainable weight loss as a natural side effect.

21 | Food Noise to Freedom, 120 lbs Down on Carnivore with Emily Penton

Hey friend,

Food noise is exhausting. If you feel like you are constantly thinking about food, fighting cravings, or starting over every Monday, this episode is for you.

I am Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, and today I am joined by Emily Penton. Emily shares what she was actually eating, how it was fueling cravings and nonstop thoughts about food, and the shift she made to a meat focused, carnivore style way of eating that helped her symptoms and stability begin to return. She also explains how she coaches women through her Inner Clarity System using simple food choices, nervous system support, and practical steps to break the cycle of sugar and processed foods.

You will also hear a powerful reframe: instead of judging yourself or treating this like another diet, treat your changes like experiments. Collect real feedback from your body, support your metabolism with strength training and a low carb approach, and build steady energy, clarity, and confidence in midlife.

Enjoy!

20 | The Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight: It's Not Your Workouts, It's Your Nervous System

Hey friend,

If you’ve cut the carbs, ditched the sugar, and even started lifting weights, but your body is still refusing to let go of the fat, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, explains why chronic stress, not calories, often locks your body into fat storage and drains your energy, even when you eat low-carb and work out. She introduces the idea that your body is not ignoring you—it is just running on a panic setting.

Cristina dives into the new security protocol your body needs, showing you how to install three simple protocols to reset your nervous system:

• Protocol 1: The "Label and Lower" Technique to interrupt the negative thought loop.
• Protocol 2: The "Vagus Nerve Reset" (a 60-second pre-meal pause) to signal safety and maximize nutrient absorption.
• Protocol 3: The "Trust-Based Schedule" to build a gentle, predictable rhythm of sleep, movement, and simple meals.

This episode will help you see that the answer is not more effort, but more safety. You will walk away with a clear understanding of why your nervous system is overriding your best efforts and a single, simple practice you can start this week to tell your body the crisis is over so it can finally begin to let go.

Xo,
Cristina

If you have been trying to lose weight on low carb or carnivore and you still feel exhausted, craving sugar, or reacting to almost everything you eat, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, talks with Chef James Barry, creator of Pluck organ based seasoning.

You will hear how to use Pluck on burger patties and everyday foods, how organ meats support metabolism, hormones, and energy, and why habits like sleep, movement, strength training, and stress care matter just as much as what is on your plate.
