A lifelong vegetarian who switched to eating fresh meat daily claims the new diet helped cure her anxiety, depression and acne.<br /><br />Liz Seibert, a model and influencer from New York City, became a veggie at the age of nine.<br /><br />Liz, who is now 23, began slowly adding meat to her diet in September last year and began eating organ meat daily in April.<br /><br />She quit veganism under the advice of her nutritionist who also instructed her to begin taking organ meat supplements.<br /><br />Liz had suffered from acne, constant anxiety, and depression since she was in her early teens.<br /><br />She also suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, and insomnia.<br /><br />Liz had tried everything and was even recommended to take medication, both conventional and psychiatric.<br /><br />But when she began eating organ meat, Liz claims her symptoms cleared up and her new lifestyle and diet gave her "life back".<br /><br />She said: "I had been eating vegetarian or vegan my whole life thinking I was keeping myself healthy.<br /><br />"I felt like I had tried everything. Numerous different mental health medications, countless types of therapies, physical health medications, and even multiple different diets.<br /><br />"I think poor diet and lack of proper nutrition were a huge contributing factor to many of my health issues."<br /><br />Now she makes sure to include organ meat and high-quality meat in her everyday eating.<br /><br />The organs she eats the most are heart, brains with eggs, liver, and bone marrow.<br /><br />She claims that her anxiety, depression, and stomach issues improved in the first month and her acne cleared up within three.<br /><br />Her period also returned after about four months and she also stopped getting headaches and began sleeping better.<br /><br />Her change in diet came along with other lifestyle changes, such as her routine exercise, limbic and nervous system retraining, and daily laughter.<br /><br />She believes, however, that the diet played a major role.<br /><br />Liz said: "My whole entire life has changed. I feel alive again. I had been severely anxious and depressed my entire teenage/adult life.<br /><br />"This came with eating disorders and other mental health conditions. Not even therapy or medication helped very much or for very long.<br /><br />"My relationship with food is incredible. I don’t get headaches, pain, bloating, IBS, my periods are back. I lost them due to low weight and painless".<br /><br />Liz does not only eat fresh organs but also takes organ supplements and eats other whole, unprocessed foods.<br /><br />Liz's diet is expensive as it is all whole and unprocessed, but still costs less than she spent as a vegetarian.<br /><br />She buys her food from farms, which sell her the organs cheaper than normal meat.<br /><br />A packet of supplements for £41 ($50) or a single cow heart for about £16 ($20) both last her almost a month if eaten alongside other meats and food.<br /><br />Liz says she was spending far more as a vegetarian and she also required constant medications and doctor visits.<br /><br />She said: "My old diet was expensive. I used to eat all of the fancy vegan baked goods, cereals, and almond milk.<br /><br />"My new diet is also expensive because I focus on really high-quality animal foods. However, now I don’t have to pay nearly as much for medications and doctors.<br /><br />“I’m learning to use food as medicine, and live in a way that supports my body, mind, and soul.”
