Meat Matters with Jenny Mitich
In this episode, I sit down with Carnivore JT to break down the biggest lie in nutrition — especially the ones athletes still believe. We dig into why carb loading is garbage, how athletes have been misled about protein intake, and why fear around LDL cholesterol continues to dominate nutrition advice despite weak evidence. Carnivore JT explains how health misinformation became mainstream, why conventional nutrition dogma fails athletes, and how the carnivore diet reframes metabolic health, performance, and recovery. We also dive into the often-ignored connection between diet and mental health, why ultra-processed foods quietly destroy healthspan, and how removing dietary noise can lead to better energy, focus, and long-term results. If you’ve ever questioned athlete nutrition guidelines, cholesterol panic, or the obsession with carbs, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been told. This episode is for: * Athletes questioning carb loading * Anyone confused about protein intake * People worried about LDL cholesterol * Those struggling with mental health and energy * Anyone tired of nutrition misinformation Topics covered: * Why carb loading doesn’t work for athletes * Protein myths and optimal protein intake * LDL cholesterol and why it’s misunderstood * Carnivore diet and metabolic health * Nutrition misinformation in modern medicine * Diet, mental health, and performance If you’re looking for real conversations about nutrition, health, and performance — without the dogma — you’re in the right place. 👉 Subscribe for more discussions on carnivore diet, metabolic health, cholesterol myths, and athlete nutrition.
