Meet Josephine Lieder
Josie Lieder, known as The Ex Plant Eater, is a former 14 year vegan who put her ulcerative colitis into remission after transitioning to a carnivore diet. Now five years into a meat based lifestyle, she shares her experience with autoimmune healing, gut health recovery, and the mental and physical benefits she discovered through reintroducing animal foods.
What We Talk About
Josie’s 14 year journey as a committed vegan and the gradual decline of her digestive health.
Her diagnosis with ulcerative colitis and the severe symptoms that led her to reconsider her diet.
How reintroducing bone broth, eggs, seafood, and eventually red meat led to remission within weeks.
The connection between plant based eating, food additives like carrageenan, and gut inflammation.
Mental health shifts including improved mood, confidence, stress resilience, and mental clarity on a carnivore diet.
How she structures her carnivore lifestyle, including beef focused meals, salt, dairy, and occasional flexibility.
Navigating social pressure, criticism from the vegan community, and staying confident in her health choices.
