EP26 – Manopause: Let’s Talk Clean Eating, Part 2

About the episode

Scott Dormar is back for a continuation of our conversation from Episode 25. Last time we talked about TRT and men’s hormones. This time, we’re shifting the focus to clean eating, inflammation, and how midlife health changes can lead you to rethink what’s on your plate.

Scott shares how his approach evolved from strict keto into a more sustainable low-carb, clean-eating lifestyle. We talk about what “clean” really means, from avoiding certain additives and oils to choosing foods with simple, recognizable ingredients. It’s less about perfection and more about awareness, reading labels, and figuring out what your body tolerates.

The conversation also gets into the practical side of eating this way in real life. Family gatherings, holidays, eating out, and not wanting to be “that person” who brings their own meal all come up. Scott shares how he plans ahead, balances carbs around workouts, and makes tradeoffs that feel sustainable rather than restrictive.

We also talk about inflammation, IBS, hypoglycemia, and how different bodies respond differently to carbs, processed foods, and additives. Like most of our conversations, it’s not about a single right answer. It’s about experimenting, paying attention, and finding what works for you.
