The Carnivore Diet, Finding Motivation for Healthy Habits & Hydration

The Wellness Scoop

Show Notes

Why do so many people say they feel better on the carnivore diet? Is coconut water really the hydration hero social media claims it is? And how do we build healthy habits when motivation disappears?

This week, we unpack the science behind the carnivore diet, explore whether coconut water deserves its wellness reputation, and discuss why relying on motivation alone rarely works when it comes to lasting behaviour change. Plus, we separate fact from fiction on sea moss, answer your questions about fertility and preparing for pregnancy, and share our latest book recommendations.
