Richard has been a carnivore for 5 years, following a ketogenic diet for 11 years. He was once clinically obese, had type 2 diabetes, and suffered from daily debilitating migraines that would render him blind. He also struggled with chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and in his mid to late 20s, he could barely walk up the stairs without stopping or being severely out of breath. He switched to a keto diet and within 12 months, he lost 107 lbs, reversed his diabetes, and no longer suffered from any of the aforementioned issues. The subsequent years saw him become a pro athlete and a British & European champion in men's physique bodybuilding. Today, he is a nutritionist and an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration, assisting others in combating their health issues, ranging from insulin resistance & diabetes to APKD and cancers.

Ditch The Vegan and Plant-Based Myths | Dr. Shawn Baker & Richard Smith

Matt is a clinical and research neurologist at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand. His foremost passion is to explore the potential feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternate metabolic states that may benefit people with a variety of neurological disorders. His team conducted the world’s first randomized trials involving a ketogenic diet in people with Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, and is now applying fasting and ketogenic diet protocols in people with Huntington’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He is currently conducting a clinical trial in glioblastoma, which combines standard treatments with the most intensive fasting and ketogenic diet protocol ever applied to a group of patients with advanced cancer.

Diet Combats Neurological Disorders, Here's How | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Matthew Phillips

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast, where today we're diving deep into the world of sleep science with our esteemed guest, and former Navy SEAL, Kirk. Known as the "sleep guy" in military circles, Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge from his transition into the medical field, specifically on the topic of how sleep—or the lack thereof—affects our metabolic health and performance. In this episode, we unpack the mysteries of sleep and discuss its anabolic nature, the significance of each sleep stage, and the intricate physiological processes our bodies undergo during slumber. Kirk draws from his extensive experience to explain how he helped soldiers off prescription sleep medications, which in turn led to vast health improvements.  Dr. Shawn Baker, with his shared military background and orthopedic expertise, joins the conversation to delve into the repercussions of sleep deprivation and the risks associated with commonly used sleep drugs. You'll hear about the impact of poor sleep on everything from emotional processing and risk of disease to everyday performance and longevity. We also outline practical strategies for improving sleep quality, including supplement recommendations, meditative practices, and sleep hygiene techniques. Kirk's valuable insights extend to managing sleep troubles in the elderly and mitigating jet lag.

Getting to the Meat of It: Hacks For Carnivores | Dr. Shawn Baker & Brad Baych (Butcher Wizard)

Theo, a Belgian musician and entrepreneur, and Nicole, a visual artist and anthropologist from Hong Kong,  are the creative minds behind a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community. Their journey began after Theo discovered the carnivore diet while treating his chronic health issues, including asthma and IBS. The couple turned to carnivore diet, a shift that significantly improved both of their health. This dietary transition, coupled with Nicole's contrasting experiences between the sugary European diet and her meat-rich Hong Kong heritage, inspired them to author a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community and beyond. Living across France, Belgium, and the UK, the couple is committed to promoting the carnivore diet not only as a healthy choice but as a way of life, especially as they plan to start a family. They recognize a gap in educational materials about carnivore eating for younger audiences and see their book as a pivotal step towards filling this void. Their work strives to make the carnivore lifestyle understandable and accessible to all, believing in the power of their story and experiences to inspire and inform a broader audience.
