Life Possible Podcast Episode 87 - Michelle Hurn, RD, LD - The Dietitian's Dilemma
Episode #87 – The Dietitian’s Dilemma: Michelle Hurn’s Journey from Near Death to Nutritional Truth
What happens when a registered dietitian’s lived experience completely contradicts the very dietary guidelines she was trained to promote?
In this powerful episode of The Life Possible Podcast, host Dr. John Barnes sits down with Michelle Hurn, RD, LD—author of The Dietitian’s Dilemma and fierce advocate for metabolic health—to explore the eye-opening story behind her transformation from a near-death anorexia survivor to a ketogenic nutrition crusader.
💥 In this episode:
- Michelle shares her harrowing struggle with eating disorders as a teen, her second chance at life, and how becoming a dietitian—and a marathon runner—still left her physically and emotionally depleted.
- Hear what happened when she finally went down the “ketogenic rabbit hole,” began questioning conventional advice, and decided to try a radically different approach herself with an animal-based ketogenic diet.
- We dig into insulin resistance: its widespread impact, how it drives nearly all metabolic diseases, and why Michelle believes we need a total paradigm shift in how we treat type 2 diabetes.
- Plus, a clear and candid breakdown of animal vs plant protein, and why quality protein is essential for healing and longevity.
💬 Michelle’s story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a call to action for practitioners and patients alike. As she says, “The human body has an incredible capacity for healing—if we give it the right tools.”
🎧 Whether you’re a client, coach, clinician, or someone who’s been let down by traditional dietary advice, this is a must-hear episode.
