The Healing Carnivore Diet with Dr. Robert Kiltz
03/14/23 • 62 min
The Microbiome gets a lot of attention these days, but are you protecting your Glycobiome? Today on The Girlfriend Doctor, I welcome renowned fertility expert Dr. Robert Kiltz. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Parents Magazine, and CNBC for his work making IVF affordable and accessible. Using diet and mindset to supplement low-dose IVF therapy, Dr. Kiltz has reduced the cost of IVF to a third of the national average. He is investigating the efficacy of the American plant-based diet, and how a keto-carnivore diet could reduce inflammation, heal chronic diseases, and promote fertility.
Contrary to popular belief, fat is fuel to the body. When you consume sugar and amino acids, they are processed and converted into fat by the liver, which is evidence that your body's primary fuel source is fat. Plant-based diets potentially expose you to pathogens and microbes that ferment in the gut, destroy the Glycobiome, and cause chronic illness.
In this episode, Dr. Kiltz shares how his approach to nutrition is helping women become fertile again. He teaches the dangers of a plant-based diet, and how a carnivore diet may be the solution you have been looking for!

“In many ways, I find it’s an incomplete conversation around mental health care. Where mental health is relegated as separate from physical health, but the reality is that mental health is physical health, and it’s really a functional medicine conversation around mental health, and around trauma, and chronic stress, and shame, and how these mental emotions, spiritual things impact our physical body.” [4:35] -Dr. Cole
“I see people up against seemingly insurmountable things, and just as trauma can be inherited, so can healing. I see people break the chains of pain, break the chains of disease, break the chains of dysfunction by what you can do today.” [25:50] -Dr. Cole
