Follow my personal journey adopting the carnivore lifestyle for better health. I share honest experiences, simple recipes, progress updates, and the real-life challenges of eating the carnivore way.

I am a 52 year old Canadian born and raised woman. I have struggled with illness pretty much my whole life. Starting with chronic Bronchitis/Pneumonia, PCOS, Asthma as a child. Then I catching Mycoplasma Pneumonia just after high school. This resulted with a diagnosis “Reactive Arthritis” or “Seronegative Arthritis” after that. From that point till now, I have dealt with constant pain, and bad debilitating flare ups. And a constant stream of other health issues since followed.

This lead me to finally exploring the Carnivore diet, and I have never felt better! Follow my blog posts for real stories and experiences on this journey.

Before and after pictures of before and during the carnivore diet.

This blog/site name comes from My health has improved so much. Not only have I lost weight, but I also can exercise more and harder than before with less pain. It is amazing. So the Lioness represents that power for me. The carnivore diet has been called the Lion’s diet, so I thought this name was fitting.

My before picture on the left is from January 3, 2025. It is filtered because I was so insecure that even my stored pictures were filtered. Not to change what I looked like, but just to smooth my face and not look so bad. I was very sick, in a lot of pain and it showed. I started the carnivore diet on January 6th. The picture on the right was early April 2025 after losing close to 40 lbs. No filter and right after a work out. My skin was a little blotchy but I didn’t care. I felt amazing and wanted to document the progress naturally.
