Healing Through Meat After Years of Struggle | Dr. Shawn Baker & Kristeva

Kristeva Dowling is an international award-winning mead maker, author, entrepreneur, and certified carnivore coach from Alberta, Canada. After years of struggling with severe rosacea that resembled cystic acne, IBS, chronic constipation, and 13 years of recurring breast lumps that led to repeated biopsies and constant monitoring, she transformed her health through a ketogenic, then carnivore, way of eating. Today, those symptoms have completely resolved.

As the founder of Stolen Harvest Meadery and author of Chicken Poop for the Soul: In Search of Food Sovereignty, Kristeva is passionate about food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, and helping people rediscover metabolic health through real food. Most recently, she founded Tallow & Crumb, the world's first animal-based cookie company, creating baking mixes made with nutrient-dense ingredients like whole milk powder, collagen, and gelatin to give the carnivore and animal-based community a genuinely satisfying alternative to ultra-processed "health" foods.

Her work sits at the intersection of farming, fermentation, entrepreneurship, and ancestral nutrition, offering a practical perspective on healing, resilience, and challenging conventional wisdom.
