“I was in terrible shape. I tried just about every diet there was out there and I just couldn’t find the right answer until I found Judy.”
Bryan J.

“I am coming leaps and bounds and I could not thank her enough for all the support, research and continued information that she continues to give me.”
Corrie R.

"I believed carnivore was all I needed, but something was still wrong. Judy's guidance helped me realize healing isn't always one-size-fits-all—and that made all the difference."
Phillip M.
Missouri
“Judy helped me find the root causes and worked with me to create a customized treatment plan for healing. As a result, I’ve been making great progress on my journey towards health and I’ve done it with Judy’s guidance and support.”

“I am no longer in pain, I have my brain back, I have my life back, I have my vibrancy back. I cannot thank Judy enough, and her team and the amazing care that they give to each and every client that goes to them.”

“And most importantly she directed me to the root cause of my illness and didn’t just treat the symptoms and put a band-aid on what I was feeling. Instead, we’re actually treating the underlying illness so that I’m actually getting better.”
Barbara W.
Nevada
“She’s so positive and really wants everyone to achieve that root-cause healing. I then had answers that I needed to move forward and really help my body feel the best it can on carnivore.”

Healing Beyond the Carnivore Diet
I'm feeling better than I have in years! Phillip and I realized what a difference it made to not only have an environment without mold, but also a clean environment – once we started cleaning our floors and surfaces of our new apartment regularly, we both really started feeling better. After a few weeks of regular cleaning I passed the VCS test for the first time and it has just been uphill from there.
My hormonal cycle was always the biggest health challenge for me and I'm thrilled to say that I've been able to get off birth control and have had multiple, regular cycles without mood swings, suicidal ideation, or any of the other very scary symptoms that I had experienced for years. I truly cannot express how happy and relieved I am to be feeling so much better!
I still have some symptoms that return if I have an exposure to less than ideal environments so I definitely don't feel invincible, but I do feel more resilient overall. I was able to start a new job (in addition to working at Carnivore Bar), which is something I definitely wouldn't have been able to do a year ago, and I’m loving it! I’m working in the leasing office of our apartment complex and it feels great to be able to help others find a place to live that I know is built well.
I’m beyond grateful for Judy bringing light to CIRS, I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for her opening the conversation about CIRS in the carnivore community. One’s living environment definitely plays a larger role in their health than I ever thought, and I have so much more respect and value for that part of my life now. CIRS has helped shift my values and priorities a bit, similar to when I first went carnivore and realized I needed to eat meat to feel my best, and I think I will be much more fulfilled in my life because of it and because I’ll know what I need to do in order to feel my best.
Health is wealth and I'm so appreciative of the root cause approach that Judy, and the rest of her team takes. Thank you!!

Judy is a breath of fresh air. Judy is a breath of fresh air in the ‘meat-based diet’ space. Most carnivores think meat-based fixes everything and while it is fantastic, some can still have digestive/health challenges which go beyond just transitioning ...
