Lori was born in suburban Chicago, IL, in 1951. Her family lived in several midwestern states throughout her childhood, including Omaha, NE, Kansas City, MO, and Des Moines, IA. Her father died of a third heart attack when he was 52 years old. She was 16 years old. After his death, her mother decided to move the family to upstate New York, where her family lived. She died a year after they moved. She was 18 years old. She finished high school in Rochester, NY, received a BA in English from Buffalo State College, and an MS in instructional technology from Rochester institute of Technology. She has been a technical writer in the software industry, and moved to northern California to accept a job offer as a technical writer. She lives just north of San Jose, CA, with her cat, Daisy.
She loved meat as far back as she can remember, even as a tot. However, she never liked vegetables and wouldn't eat them. No one knew much about nutrition back then, and her mom thought that giving her more potatoes might help. But that only unleashed an attraction to, and later an addiction to, carbohydrates, which was later joined by a love of sugar. Despite these emerging bad eating patterns, she was a thin, energetic, healthy child -- until adolescence. Then, the bad stuff caught up with her. She was having more digestive problems and was gaining weight. The digestive problems worsened and turned into inflammatory bowel disease, which she suffered from for nearly 3 decades. In 2019, her colon was pretty much totally destroyed, and she had a complete procto-colectomy (removal of colon and rectum). She now wears an ileostomy bag.
She knew she had to change her eating, and she went through several steps -- low carb, then keto, then ketovore, then to carnivore. (A video from Dr. Berry was a game-changer.) Looking back, it's almost a miracle that she embraced carnivore and has thrown off ALL carbohydrates and ALL sugar. Her diet now comes down to two words: EAT MEAT. She's realized several blessings from the carnivore way of eating -- normalized blood pressure and blood sugar, faster healing from bruises and minor injuries, no more belly fat, no more digestive pain...and best of all, far greater mental clarity. She never believed in a million years that she would ever be able to be free of carbs and sugar!
