53 | Her Doctor Said She Was Fine: Root Canals, Weight Gain And How Carnivore Helped Her Heal | Andrea Hansen

Hey Friend,

If you have ever felt dismissed by your doctor, told you were fine when you knew something was wrong, this episode is going to hit home.

In Episode 53, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, sits down with Andrea Hansen, founder of Brazen and Bold Wellness and a health and metabolic wellness coach passionate about helping women simplify their health and finally step away from the exhausting cycle of dieting, restriction, and starting over.

Andrea's approach is practical, realistic, and rooted in lifestyle change over quick fixes. She works with women in midlife who are tired of feeling stuck and overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and are ready to create a healthier, stronger life that actually feels sustainable.

Andrea went from 256 pounds to 161 and her body is still changing. She tried every diet. She went doctor to doctor. And the real cause of her weight gain, her skin issues, and her inflammation was sitting in her mouth the entire time and nobody caught it. Two infected root canals from 2020 were silently destroying her health while every doctor told her she was fine.

This conversation is raw, real, and full of the kind of clarity that makes you stop and think about what might be going on in your own body.

In this episode we cover:

  • How two infected root canals triggered years of unexplained weight gain and skin issues
  • Why doctors kept dismissing her and what finally changed when she worked with a health coach
  • How removing grains, gluten, and processed foods started the healing before she even found carnivore
  • Why less movement and more nourishment was the answer her body needed
  • How weight loss became a side effect of healing instead of the goal
  • Why dabbling keeps you stuck and what strict carnivore did that nothing else could
  • What the body actually needs in midlife for energy, hormones, and metabolic health
  • Why patience and discipline matter more than any quick fix

If you are ready to stop doing this alone and you want real support around you, I have something coming on June 1 that was built for exactly where you are right now.
