Two health professionals say they've seen vegan clients struggle with fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal problems that improved after eating meat again. Red meat in particular boosted energy, reduced joint pain, and helped with iron levels during menstruation.
I know Ashley has countless stories of clients and patients coming to us on a vegan diet or a vegetarian diet, and they're 30 pounds overweight and they're exhausted and their hormones are a hot raging mess. And we're like, you need to eat meat. And they look at us sideways like, I thought that was unhealthy. I thought fat made you fat, especially red meat. You know, that's not healthy. That's what my cardiologist says. And when they finally come to understand and they trust us and they go through the process and the weight falls off and they start to feel like the best they've ever felt—
I mean, just, I think they think healthy is, um, like vegetables, and so it feels safe for them to just eat vegetables. And so when we use recipes that have meat in them and they start to get it, they realize they have energy and that they can move better, that their joints don't hurt, especially when you are still having periods and you need that iron and all those good things inside of you. Yes, I was actually just sharing, um, that we were talking about cycles, and I was telling her all weekend all I wanted was a steak, and it was because I had started my cycle. And we were at this event and they were not serving any red meat. And so Sunday we got it on the way home, and I was so pumped to get some red meat. Like I said, God gave us the, the glorious plant kingdom, but he also gave us the glorious animal kingdom.
