EPISODE #83 – Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS Podcast
From Autoimmune Struggles to Metabolic Healing with Dr Jocelyn Foran
What happens when a doctor becomes the patient?
In Episode #83, I had the privilege of speaking with the incredible Dr Jocelyn Foran: mother, wife, medical doctor, anaesthesiologist, Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and Metabolic Health Practitioner.
This is not just another health conversation.
It is a deeply personal, courageous and eye-opening discussion about inflammation, autoimmune disease, nutrition, resilience and metabolic healing.
Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis the very month she graduated from medical school, Jocelyn shares the reality of navigating life as both physician and patient.
🔹 Growing up with a single parent battling multiple autoimmune disorders
🔹 Managing the pressure of becoming a doctor while struggling with her own autoimmune condition
🔹 Showing up for work during debilitating flare-ups
🔹 Following the “healthy” Standard Western Diet guidance for years including nearly two decades as a vegan and vegetarian, only to discover it was fuelling inflammation rather than healing
🔹 Why insulin resistance is now impacting younger generations at alarming levels
🔹 The truth about nutrient density and why the real “superfoods” may actually be organ meats especially liver
🔹 How shifting to a ketogenic lifestyle in 2016, and later an animal-based carnivore approach, transformed her health and allowed her to stop medications
This episode challenges many conventional narratives around nutrition, chronic disease and metabolic wellbeing.
One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation:
👉 Sometimes the foods we are told are “healthy” may be the very things keeping us unwell.
For over two decades, Jocelyn has worked in acute care medicine while continuing her own journey of healing and now coaches’ people around the world on metabolic health using a species appropriate, animal-based approach.
An authentic conversation.
No scripts.
No filters.
No BS.
