What if your body fat could be your fuel? What if food was the key to mental clarity, fertility, and real healing?

Maria Emmerich is known around the world for her work in the keto and carnivore space. What makes her message powerful is how personal it is. She shares her own story of moving through depression, body image struggles, and infertility, guided by ancestral eating and a deep understanding of what the body actually needs.

We talk about the myths in keto culture, why more butter isn’t always better, and how to eat in a way that aligns with your why.
