The Curious Carnivore’s Way Out of Chronic Gut Issues and Food Obsession

Jessica, also known as The Curious Carnivore, is an Australian content creator who openly shares her personal experience with the carnivore diet. After years of IBS symptoms, binge eating, bulimia, chronic fatigue, and trying countless approaches to feel better, she began experimenting with a meat-based way of eating.

Jessica’s story will resonate with anyone who has spent years negotiating with food, managing unpredictable digestive symptoms, or wondering why a seemingly “healthy” diet still leaves them feeling out of control. She speaks candidly about the uncomfortable parts of changing how she ate, including cravings, digestive adjustments, dehydration, and discovering that dairy could still trigger bingeing. Her experience offers a thoughtful reminder that progress often requires paying close attention to your own patterns, admitting when something is not working, and letting go of comparison.

Here's what we explore:

How Jessica’s family environment shaped her early eating habitsThe connection she experienced between restriction, digestive distress, and bingeingHer history with bulimia and the excuses that kept the behavior hiddenWhy she moved from veganism to a whole-food diet and eventually carnivoreThe difficult first three months of adapting to carnivoreHow dairy brought back cravings and binge-eating patternsWhy public accountability helped her complete 40 days without dairyHow simplifying her food choices reduced mental negotiation and food noiseEating carnivore while living and travelling in BaliThe freedom she found after years of planning her life around digestive symptoms

Wherever you are in your relationship with food, I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to keep searching for the support and approach that help you feel safe, nourished, and more at home in your body.
