Methionine glycine balance. It’s important to include collagen via organ meats, supplements, and bone broth. 

Methionine is commonly found in muscle meat. Glycine is found in connective tissue and organ meat. 

Methionine is a carrier of methyl groups, when you have too much methionine  it uses up your bodies glycine to buffer up the methyl groups. This will mess up your biochemistry.

Glycine balances methionine and helps the amino acid ratio. If you are glycine deficit it will be difficult to make collagen and glutathione (meaning you won’t feel as good)

Key Supplements For Carnivore:

Boron

Paleo Valley Bone Broth Powder

Paleo Valley Organ Meat Complex

Another tip for not feeling well is to increase your fat to protein ratio. 

The organ meats are key, it is nature’s multivitamin. Especially liver!

• B vitamins
• Methionine
• Riboflavin
• Selenium
• Choline
• Vitamin A in retinol form
• Vitamin C

A popular objection to eating liver is the belief that the liver is a storage organ for toxins in the body. While it is true that one of the liver’s role is to neutralize toxins (such as drugs, chemical agents and poisons), it does not store these toxins. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are likely to accumulate in the body’s fatty tissues and nervous systems. On the other hand, the liver is a is a storage organ for many important nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron). These nutrients provide the body with some of the tools it needs to get rid of toxins.

Ben Carnivore Lab Work Notes:

BUN went up moving more protein through my kidneys 

Blood Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine these are byproducts of different functions in the body

BUN/CREATININE ratio went up

Albumin protein went up

 

AST ALT went down 

 

Ferritin went up but this can be an issue if there’s oxidized fats in the body. It’s important to look at other oxidative stress markers.

C-Reactive protein went down more than 50% (inflammation in the blood vessels)

Homocysteine dropped vascular and brain inflammation 

Cholesterol and LDL’s went up. The body is clearing the system with cholesterols, cholesterol is a band aid, a healer. This shows up with inflammatory markers coming down. 

Cholesterol makes hormones, cells, and gives the cell membrane what it wants.

Inflammation markers all dropped but all particles went up.

The oxidative component rules. I’m using cholesterol as an energy source therefore I have more particles that are shuttling more cholesterol. Cholesterol becomes a major fuel source, makes sense. 

Insulin resistance score 35 to 29
