Mike Fave explains what can happen to your gut health, metabolism, hormones, and energy after staying on a carnivore or ketogenic diet long-term, and how to add carbohydrates back without making common mistakes.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Carnivore diet and the gut microbiome
• Why carnivore can make you feel better at first
• Long-term carnivore diet problems
• Carnivore diet and gut health
• How low-carb diets affect cortisol and stress hormones
• Carnivore, keto and thyroid function
• How to transition off the carnivore diet
• How to reintroduce carbs after carnivore
• How to reintroduce fiber without digestive problems
• Bloating and digestive symptoms when adding carbs back
• Carbohydrates and metabolic health
• Insulin resistance and carbohydrate intake
• How much carbohydrate you actually need
• Common mistakes when quitting carnivore
• How to rebuild your gut microbiome after carnivore

Mike Fave breaks down why eliminating carbohydrates and fiber can initially improve symptoms for some people, why problems can appear later, and how to transition toward a more balanced diet without suddenly overwhelming your digestive system.
If you've been following carnivore, keto, low carb, or animal-based diets and are thinking about adding carbohydrates or fiber back into your diet, this conversation provides a detailed framework for understanding the transition.
