Ira Sahay is a Metabolic Health Coach based in Mumbai, India. She serves as the Media Head and is a member of dLife.in, India's largest and only award-winning low-carb platform. In 2021, Ira was diagnosed with a life-threatening autoimmune kidney disease called Membranous Nephropathy. This condition caused her to leak 7635 mg/dl of protein (proteinuria), leading to significant hair loss, reduced skin firmness, and muscle mass depletion due to the severe protein loss through her kidneys. At that time, kidney transplantation seemed inevitable. Despite seeking answers from medical professionals, Ira found none that satisfied her. Consequently, she delved into research and, contrary to medical advice to limit protein intake for her kidney condition, she adopted a strict Carnivore diet. Remarkably, within a year, Ira's condition improved dramatically. Upon reevaluation by the same doctor at the same hospital, it was noted on her prescription that her Membranous Nephropathy had spontaneously gone into remission. Today, Ira is dedicated to helping patients, particularly those with autoimmune disorders, while also effectively assisting individuals suffering from metabolic syndromes such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, PCOS, and Fatty Liver. She has observed remarkable outcomes from the Carnivore diet in her clients. Known as "Low Carb Healer" on Twitter, she can be reached at her handle - @TheIraSahay. This is the story of how Ira Sahay overcame a severe kidney condition through a Carnivore diet.
