In this powerful episode, health coach Mark Ennis from Ireland shares his extraordinary transformation from battling anorexia, obesity, and severe mental health challenges to becoming a leader in the carnivore diet and nutrition space. After years of failed attempts with traditional diets, Mark discovered the healing power of a carnivore lifestyle, unlocking not only sustainable weight loss but also dramatic improvements in mood, mindset, and overall fitness.

Mark breaks down why dietary fat is essential, how mindset shapes every health decision, and why most people fail not because of lack of effort—but because they’re following the wrong nutritional model. Through his coaching practice, he has helped clients reverse type 2 diabetes, improve metabolic health, restore fertility, and experience life-changing transformations.
