The San Diego make-up artist said: 'I wasn't happy with my skin or body. I had no energy.'
'My face would swell up, I had small red dots that looked like blemishes, and my hair was falling out.'
Fed up, Janis turned to the extreme carnivore diet, which is a zero-carb lifestyle that consists entirely of animal products.
Inspired by a friend whose glowing skin she envied, Janis did a full 30-day cleanse, eating only meat, salt and water.
'I noticed his skin and hair had completely changed,' she said.
'When he told me it was from the carnivore diet, I had to try it.'
In just one month, Janis says the changes were dramatic.
She was 20 lbs lighter and claims her skin had changed completely.
She also felt sharper, saying her brain fog had also cleared up.
Janis added: 'My double chin disappeared. My tummy looked lean. My periods became regular.'
I've lost 5 stone and learnt the truth about thin privilege and men are nicer to me but a restrictive diet isn't the answer
But the biggest shock was that her wrinkles had vanished.
She said: It felt like I had got Botox done.'
Her face was tighter and smoother but it was all natural.
She added: 'It felt like I was biohacking my body.'
Janis had also given up alcohol at the time, and believes the diet gave her body a full reset.
'The diet helps you with your cravings - I was a big sweet tooth but not anymore. ' she said.
'I feel like a total new person'
After the diet, Janis reported that her periods also stabilised.
She also believes the diet helped her fall pregnant in January 2025, although she admits there's no way to know for sure.
'I had said to my boyfriend, 'I'm getting more fertile', I can't say it was 100% from the diet, but it felt like something in my body had changed.'
Now 23 weeks along, Janis has slightly adjusted her diet during pregnancy.
She now eats around 300g of meat a day, mainly red meat with some chicken or pork, plus scrambled eggs, bone broth, and the occasional piece of fruit or carbs to support healthy weight gain.
'I still feel amazing,' she said.
'I used to always feel bloated after eating vegetables, even when they were organic. Now, I feel so much lighter and more energised.'
And she doesn't plan to stop after the baby arrives.
Janis hopes to raise her child on a carnivore-based diet and plans to start them off with nutrient-rich bone broths.
'I've seen people talking about how it means they have no mood swings and sleep all the time', she said.
