  • Dave Mac: No Carb Life Reverses Arthritis and Adds Health Benefits

    Dave Mac, also known as the guy on No Carb Life, or Real Zero Carb on Instagram explains that he got the name from starting his zero-carb journey. He was very sick and thought it might be due to his plant-based diet. After a bit of research, he came across the zero-carb diet and decided to give it a try. Within one week, his health problems were well on their way to being resolved. From then on, he has been a staunch advocate of the zero-carb approach. Dave talks about how they were diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases at a young age and how nutrition was never offered as a solution. He also shares his journey with the carnivore diet and how it helped him reverse his arthritis symptoms and improve his overall health. https://www.youtube.com/@zerocarb

  • The Power of Carnivore Diet: Colleen's MS Symptoms & Acne Healed

    Colleen began experiencing symptoms similar to MS, such as fatigue, brain fog, and muscle inflammation. She tried various treatments and diets, such as eliminating dairy and gluten, and taking supplements and medications, but nothing seemed to help. The symptoms worsened during her pregnancy, but she was able to manage them with medication. After giving birth, her symptoms returned with a vengeance, and she was eventually diagnosed with MS and was convinced to start medications. Colleen experienced various health issues such as fatigue, skin issues, and menstrual problems for years. She tried different diets, including a strict vegan diet, but didn’t see much improvement.

    Colleen was diagnosed with MS at the age of 23 after experiencing symptoms for almost a year. She was prescribed medication, but experienced terrible side effects and her symptoms continued to worsen. She decided to take control of her health and started researching alternative ways to manage her MS. She found the Wahl's Protocol, which focuses on nutrient-dense foods, but found the carnivore diet to be more simplistic and easier to follow. She then watched a vegan documentary and went heavily plant based, which helped with her chronic constipation but also resulted in her developing kidney stones and thyroid nodules. She also dealt with hospitalization due to bacteria from her green smoothies. She then tried a raw fruit diet but couldn't stick with it for more than a month. After all of this, she decided to try a carnivore.

  • Exploding Myths: Dr. Shawn Baker on LDL, Kidney Health, Thyroid, Fibre, Vitamin C & Big Pharma

    Doctor Shawn Baker

    Key points for quick navigation:
    00:01 Dr. Shawn Baker began his carnivore diet journey in late 2016 out of curiosity and health concerns, starting with a single meal and gradually transitioning.
    04:23 Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) is not observed in carnivore diets due to efficient utilization and presence in meat, contrary to common misconceptions.
    07:39 Fiber is non-essential and its health benefits are likely associated with dietary quality rather than fiber itself, often improving on carnivore diets.
    13:23 Meat contains a wide array of phytonutrients, challenging the notion that only fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients.
    16:11 Normative ranges for thyroid function tests (like TSH) may not reflect individual health outcomes effectively, emphasizing clinical function over lab numbers.
    19:26 Dr. Shawn Baker emphasizes that he focuses on how he feels rather than just lab numbers, highlighting individual health over standardized ranges.
    19:53 ️‍️ Despite having low normal testosterone levels, Shawn Baker attributes his strength and health to lifestyle factors like exercise and diet, suggesting sensitivity to androgen receptors.
    20:37 Shawn Baker discusses the limitations of standard reference ranges in health metrics, advocating for more personalized approaches especially in populations like carnivores.
    27:30 ️ Dr. Baker critiques the conventional focus on LDL cholesterol levels, pointing out historical biases and financial interests in promoting certain health narratives.
    29:06 Discussing medication, Dr. Shawn Baker predicts potential class action lawsuits against drugs like PCSK9 inhibitors due to adverse effects like muscle loss, highlighting ethical concerns in pharmaceutical practices.
    38:12 Using GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (OIC) can lead to GI side effects and potential long-term digestive issues.
    39:23 Beef isolate effectively stimulates GLP-1, slowing down digestion in a natural way, contrasting with drugs like semaglutide.
    41:02 GLP-1 receptor agonists may lead to fat cell hyperplasia, increasing the number of small fat cells, potentially causing weight regain after treatment cessation.
    47:30 High-protein diets, contrary to common belief, do not adversely affect kidney health and may even improve kidney function in certain cases.
    54:10 Eating plant-based is not necessarily environmentally superior to consuming animal products; the sustainability of agricultural practices matters more than the type of diet.
    56:39 Dr. Baker emphasizes the importance of measuring nutrition and human thriving rather than just calories or environmental impact when evaluating food choices.
    57:46 ️‍️ He advocates for a healthier population, criticizing societal health disparities despite abundant resources, urging for national campaigns promoting nutrition and fitness.
    58:56 ️ Dr. Baker discusses how consumer choices impact public health and healthcare systems, encouraging mindful purchasing to support healthier lifestyles.
    01:00:35 He reflects on the values and lifestyles of societal leaders, contrasting personal health standards with those of the general population.
    01:03:34 Dr. Baker underscores the need for healthcare paradigm shifts driven by grassroots movements, highlighting the importance of patient support in effecting systemic change.

  • Carnivore Ray: 92 Lbs Fat Loss, Mental Health and 460,000 Followers

    My very special guest, Carnivore Ray, explains how he has been experimenting with his diet by following the carnivore lifestyle for a year. He shares how he has received various reactions and opinions, but ultimately, he believes that experimenting and being open-minded is important for one's health. He also mentions his bloodwork results and how they have improved. Ray is a 26-year-old man who has been following a carnivorous diet for about a year. He initially started this diet as an experiment due to various health issues and was surprised by the positive results. Recently he decided to add fruits to his diet to see if he could still maintain his good health. While he experienced some benefits, he also noticed negative side effects like increased joint pain and inflammation.

    He first heard about the carnivore diet through a podcast by Joe Rogan featuring Jordan Peterson. He was intrigued by the benefits mentioned by Peterson, including improved mental health and reduced knee pain. He decided to give the diet a try and within the first few days, he experienced weight loss and improved mental acuity. He continued to follow the diet and ended up losing a total of 92 pounds. Most people who criticize the carnivore diet become more open or change their minds after seeing the positive effects on the person following it. Briefly Coach Stephen explains why the HBA1C metric is flawed as it doesn't consider that red blood cells last longer when following a carnivore, keto or low-carb diet. He believes the best indicators of how you're doing is your fasting glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels.

  • Carnivore Cam Exposes the Truth About Carnivore

    Cam shares his experience with nutrition from a young age, always being interested in optimizing his health. He tried different diets, including the plant-based approach, but ended up feeling bad and struggling with skin problems and energy. He eventually shifted to a mainly meat-based, low carb diet and started feeling great. In January 2020, he decided to try the carnivore diet and has been sharing his experience and promoting the benefits of animal-based foods. He believes in eating real, whole foods and they also discuss Cam's experimentation with adding fruit and honey back into his diet, and his recent bloodwork that seems to show high cholesterol and slightly elevated HbA1c levels but is not looked at in the context of someone following a carnivore diet.
