The Carnivore Mistake That Could Be Wrecking Your Hormones 🧬

Hey there, Meat Maven! 💪🥩

Feeling off even though you’re eating “clean carnivore”?
If your sleep’s broken, energy’s crashing, or hormones feel out of whack… you’re not alone.

This week, we’re unlocking how to fuel your hormones right, plus a simple bowl recipe that could change everything.

🔬 The Hormone-Carnivore Connection

🔹 Fat is Fuel for Hormones
Your body uses dietary fat and cholesterol to make estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. If you’re eating too lean, you’re running on empty.

🔹 Micronutrients Matter (A Lot)
Muscle meat alone won’t cut it. You need zinc, retinol, choline, and B vitamins—found in liver, egg yolks, and other nutrient-dense animal foods.

🔹 Stress Adds Up
Too much fasting, too little fat, intense training, and under-eating? That combo elevates cortisol and wrecks your sleep and recovery.

🔹 Women Need Different Support
If your period’s gone missing or your energy is tanking, strict carnivore may need softening—think more fat, gentler fasting, or strategic carb cycling.

🍳 Carnivore Made Simple: The Hormone-Supporting Power Bowl

This isn’t just another meat plate—it’s your hormone-support plan in a bowl.

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 4 oz 80/20 grass-fed ground beef

• 1 egg (runny yolk = bonus)

• 1 tbsp beef tallow or ghee

• 1 oz liver (or liver-beef blend)

• Sea salt to taste

How to Make It:

1. Cook liver in tallow, set aside.

2. Sauté ground beef in the same pan.

3. Fry egg in ghee.

4. Assemble in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Devour warm.

📌 Why it works:

• Fat + cholesterol = hormone building blocks

• Liver = zinc, vitamin A, B12

• Egg = choline for liver detox & estrogen balance

🧠 Thriving on Carnivore: Support Hormones, Sleep Better

Low energy and poor sleep often = hormone imbalance. Here's how to reset:

• Eat enough fat—especially at dinner

• Don’t overtrain fasted every day

• Get natural sunlight first thing (for cortisol regulation)

• Take magnesium glycinate + salt before bed for deeper rest

📝 Track your energy, mood, and sleep. Hormones don’t lie.
