  • How I Beat Chronic Pain with the Carnivore Diet

    Eddie had prolotherapy and treatments for weak joints, but it was a slow process. He needed to take breaks in between treatments to let body heal. The treatment involves injecting a fluid into the affected areas, which can cause pain during the treatment, but it helps with instability symptoms and allows the body to heal and improve. The swelling after the treatment acts as a splint, providing stability and reducing symptoms. There may be pain for a few days after, but ultimately there is improvement, and the treatments have been proven with imaging and tests.

    Part one of this interview series covered Eddie's struggles with a range of symptoms, including pain and blood pressure fluctuations when experiencing strong emotions, muscle twitches and joint pain. He was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Cranio-Cervical Instability (CCI). He has been receiving treatments for these conditions, but due to the severity of his case, full stability is taking longer to achieve. The cause of his symptoms is still unknown. We talk about his experience using Stem Enhance Ultra product, which is a supplement that is designed to boost the body's production of adult stem cells and reduce inflammation. Eddie discusses his experience with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic condition that affects the body's connective tissue. We theorize that the condition may have been caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and a lack of proper nutrition, particularly in regard to collagen synthesis. They have seen improvements in their symptoms after switching to a carnivore diet, but also noted that the effects of the diet were difficult to distinguish due to ongoing medical treatments.

  • Divorce, Depression, and 117 Pounds GONE My Carnivore Story

    Frank shares his experience on the carnivore diet. He explains how he was motivated to start the diet after being bullied for his weight and struggling with emotional eating and food addiction. He found that the carnivore diet helped him control his cravings and lose weight. He also discusses how the diet changed his relationship with food and improved his health. He advises others to put aside any biases and give the carnivore diet a chance to see its benefits. Quote, “I want to talk about my journey through the carnivore diet and why I think it's a cheat code to life. I started the diet because I was struggling with my weight and health, and after doing research and watching videos, I decided to give it a try. Within the first month, I noticed improvements in my energy levels, mood, and sleep. I lost weight and my body composition changed in a way I had never experienced before. The diet focuses on eating animal products and (3:44) I became carnivore by accident after going through a bad divorce and coming to the realization that I needed to take control of my health and well-being. I had weak willpower and decided that setting simple rules, such as not purchasing sweets for myself, was a more doable approach. After cutting out sweets and then carbs, I came across information about the carnivore diet and decided to give it a try, figuring it couldn't make things much worse for me. I want to make sure our son was always taken care of.”

    Within the first month, I saw huge differences in my health, including getting rid of nausea, heartburn, and sleep apnea.

  • Anna Lost 100lbs and Got Her Health Back

    In Anna’s own words, “I’m just a mom who grew up in the standard American food system, became a victim of it, and now I’m trying to break free from that system for my own health and lost 100 lbs along the way. I’m constantly learning more and trying to figure out how to set my own family up for health and success as they grow…not perfectly, just consistently. I’m on instagram to encourage women that anyone can do what I’ve done.”

    https://www.instagram.com/annas_lost_it/
    Anna starts by telling me that she has always been drawn to butter and other good things but was convinced by her family and the media that margarine was a better option. However, she later discovered that this advice was false. When asked for advice on those struggling to give up their standard American/Western diet, she suggests giving the keto diet a try for at least 12 weeks and explains the potential benefits such as mental clarity and increased energy. Anna was formerly obese, but after trying many different diets, they found success with the keto diet combined with intermittent fasting. Anna believes that the key to weight loss is making oneself as robust as possible, both physically and mentally. She also mentions the importance of understanding how a woman's cycle can affect weight loss and recommended paying attention to this when trying to lose weight. The person's family has also seen success with making dietary changes, including cutting out processed foods and snacking. Her family have lost a combined total of over 400lbs!

  • The REAL Reason Eddie Goeke's Lifestyle is a Game Changer!

    Eddie became carnivore after experiencing a panic attack in his teenage years. He suffered from various symptoms such as chronic fatigue and excruciating pain that occurred whenever he felt an emotion. Doctors diagnosed him with anxiety, but he knew there was something more. He was eventually forced to get a job at Walmart during the pandemic and found relief through the carnivore diet. Eddie shares his experience with the debilitating symptoms he has been experiencing, including difficulty breathing and pain in his neck. After two years of visiting doctors and specialists without receiving a diagnosis, he suffers a severe breakdown and is rushed to the hospital. Despite being misdiagnosed with asthma, the speaker continues to have episodes and eventually discovers through his own research that he may have cranial cervical instability (CCI). Eddie worked physically demanding jobs and attempted to maintain a healthy diet, but his symptoms continued to worsen. He eventually became so debilitated that they could not even leave their house and thought he might die. He was eventually hospitalized and believed his condition may have been caused or worsened by a chiropractic treatment he was receiving. By March 2022, due to previous dietary changes, he became very unwell and felt near death. A chiropractor helped Eddie diagnose his issue of loose ligaments throughout his body that were causing physical pain when he felt emotions. He began exploring various health and diet theories, including Dr. Gundry and Dave Asprey and eventually came across Bart Kay who he initially disliked but eventually found he had a deep understanding in his lecture recordings.

  • Helen's Masters Degree Tells Her Carnivore Makes The Most Sense

    This interview introduces Helen Taylor who has a master’s degree in Genomic and Regenerative Medicine in Biomedical Science. Helen made the switch to carnivore lifestyle in February 2024. She talks about how a

    hysterectomy led her to learn more about diet and nutrition and how epigenetics plays a role in our health. Helen states that our bodies are like a library, remembering everything we put it through. Helen recalls her personal experience
    with veganism and how it led her to question her health and that lead to studying epigenetics, which can predict disease and trauma.

    Transitioning to Carnivore improved Helen’s overall health, cleared her brain, calmed her down, reduced pain and inflammation, and helped her be more energetic and live in the present. She admits that it took a while for the results to show, but now she feels like she's been given a new life!

    Helen is a biomedical scientist who specializes in cellular and molecular immunology. She shares how her interest in immune disorders, including thyroid issues and hormone imbalances, led her to focus on personalized medicine. She explains epigenetics and how it can help identify

    the root causes of health issues, and the importance of addressing environmental toxins, such as glyphosate, in our diet. She also discusses her own journey with a hysterectomy and how it affected her hormones, and how she loves carnivore for its simplicity and effectiveness.
