What happens when years of dieting, sugar cravings, and an addictive relationship with food collide with the search for lasting health and food freedom?
In this episode of Carnivore Evolution, Mark and Victoria welcome Jessica Oar, a food addiction specialist, health coach, and strength trainer, to discuss her personal journey from binge-restrict dieting to Carnivore, and recovery from food addiction.
Jess shares how understanding the relationship between food, behavior, and metabolism transformed her coaching approach. The conversation explores food addiction versus food noise, emotional and ritualistic cravings, the challenges of carbohydrate reintroduction, and why addressing underlying behaviors matters beyond simply changing what you eat.
The discussion also examines women’s health, stress, sleep, circadian rhythms, hormonal balance, strength training, reverse dieting, and the importance of adequate nutrition. Jess explains how she approaches clients individually, using elimination diets, gradual transitions, and personalized coaching to help them understand their bodies and develop a healthier relationship with food.
They also discuss GLP-1 medications, food cravings, and the value of learning about your own nutritional needs rather than relying exclusively on appetite suppression.
Jess shares her current Carnivore lifestyle, including her two-meal-a-day routine, approach to eating enough, and experience with improved energy, mental clarity, and joint comfort.
Whether you’re struggling with food addiction, persistent cravings, weight-loss frustration, or navigating your own Carnivore journey, this episode offers a thoughtful conversation about food, behavior, and finding a sustainable path toward better health.
