I'm 74 and had so many things wrong from so much stress all my life. I have a daughter that's quadriplegic and I'm alone way out in the country. I have my Jesus he is my best friend. I have arthritis so bad in my back ,knees, thumbs, ankles, neck , you name it , it hurts. I was a horse trainer all my life and have many aches and pains. I was bed ridden for 5 years and because of the food I was being fed gained 100 lbs. I started carnivore and lost 50 lbs the first year without exercise ,although I wanted to but my body said no. I'm now walking with a walker and caring for us alone and loving it. I hit a plateau for months so I started drinking 1 cup of black coffee with 1 Tb. Of cinnamon in the morning for 3 days and lost 5 lbs. Wow, that was a big THANK YOU JESUS.
Thanks for inspiring me! I’m 72 and battling my doctor’s belief that carnivore is “just another FAD diet”. That comment sabotaged my spirit for a bit. But I needed to hear that you are so successful. I appreciate you both spreading the news. And yes I know about the ol’ grapefruit diet, too! Blessings back at both of you!
I truly enjoyed this interview as I could relate. I am 90 years old and I just started Conover four weeks ago. I do suffer from high blood pressure, candida, arthritis, and insomnia. I am already seeing some good results and have lost 5 pounds. I have been on every diet under the sun and I thought think I’ll try this one. What can I lose? I see that I can lose weight and I can lose all the symptoms that are not supposed to be in my body. Thank you for sharing I too am a Christian.
The connamon adds about 3x more toxic oxalates tahn are already in the tea. Maybe helpful ahort term but long term it will put her right back into pain and misery. Read up on oxalates!
One thing I like about Judy Cho , she's not trying to be a youtube star or guru to get attention. She is just trying to be accurate and really cares about us . Does anyone else feel that or am I crazy ? 🥴🤪🙂
Yes, i just about stopped listening to everyone. They all have to come on half naked everytime, lol. I commented on Baker and Chaffee that they should all get together and pose for a porn calender and sell it as merch, lol. They are all like the the backside of the vegan community. Plastic personalities suck, for sure. It's all ego and it's a turn off.
This is really great! I will be 81 in three weeks. I've been carnivore for almost 2 years. I've lost 50 pounds, am no longer pre-diabetic, have healed several other things. I was thinking a few days ago that I love being 80!
Awesome! I'm curious to know what is your blood type? I've read that carnivore works best for people with blood type O (per Dr. Peter D' Adamo). Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼
I am carnivore and just turned 81! 3 1/2 years now. I’m also long haul covid. I totally reversed my 20year long Diabetes 2 in about a month after starting. My doctor immediately took me off even insulin. Carnivore really works ❤
@@opolotfrancis9946 eat more fat, also your body uses all the nutrients from meat so you don't poop waste like you do with fiber which is undigestable.
What a great story! I’m 49 and after one year vegan with autoimmune disease, joint pain and IBS, I am on a week of carnivore and I’m feeling better already! Thank you! ❤
I was vegan for six years and when I was told I had osteopenia and struggled losing weight, I got off vegan way of living. I am trying to get off processed food and sugar. I’m not a big meat eater but fake meat is highly processed so that is not an option for me. It’s always interesting to hear that carnivore is working for some people too. We all need to listen to our bodies. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Being car n is not new or groundbreaking it is the human way of living, the young writer who did a year living off the grid in Alaska did fine when he hu 'nted. As soon as he stopped and ate what he found, he went down hill and slowly wasted away. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. He kept notes. Many of us have all kinds of ailments from creal esp. Whether it's the natural or modifd kind, we will and probably never know.
I am a79 year old 95% carnivore. I have controled HBP and survived Covid wirh no problems. I eat a very few veggies. I eat 1 1/2 lb. meat daily mostly beef and turkey. My wife of 46 yrs. pased away with covid 2021. In 2018 I weighed 270 so started Carnivore and in 8 months I weighed 160 and have never been hungry.
Sorry about your wife’s passing. I think that’s wonderful that your healthy. My husband and I eat all an all plant diet and we never got sick either. Blessings.
I’m so excited for you! So glad you’ve decided to go carnivore! Hang in there esp for the first 3 months.. join a community group… it’ll help to have some support.
Scared to move from keto, in which I’ve been super happy and feeling great for 3 years, into carnivore, but it seems I really need to because I’ve crept up slowly about 20 lbs in the past 2 years and just can’t seem to lose that last 50 lbs. You guys are inspiring me - I’m 62 and it’s good to hear from people my age that carnivore’s working for you!
@@kmsongbird I feel you! I started SCD (for gut healing - I had severe IBS and chronic gut pain) in 2009 then a year later, clean keto. After reaching my goal, I crept up about 15 pounds, too, over a very long period. My job was so stressful and I was sure that contributed. Also, I have autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto’s, and never seemed to get my thyroid levels optimized. I could not lose that 15 pounds. I’m 5’7” and very curvy, small waist, big boobs, real hips, plus I lift heavy weights and have for decades. 165 lbs was always good for me, so it has been my goal weight for a long time. I was 163 lbs for a good while until my weight started creeping up to 176 - 179 lbs after I started the stressful job. The cleaner I ate, the harder it seemed for me to maintain and I definitely couldn’t lose. I also had a flat belly even at the higher weight, but I developed that “spare tire” squishy belly fat above my waist line. I found myself back in old destructive dieting behaviors trying to change all this, and I knew I had to do something dramatic because I’ve struggled with disordered eating in the past. I started carnivore on 10/21/21 at 176 lbs, less for weight loss and more to get my head back on straight. Several weeks later, I got back to 163 lbs. Then, in no time, I was at 150 lbs! This is my dream weight that I never thought I could reach again. I am so pleased with my body these days. My belly was flat again except for some loose skin, and I decided to get abdominoplasty surgery to take care of the loose skin. At one point years ago, my top weight was 231 lbs. I didn’t stay there long, but I did hover in the 190s for several years. For me to easily maintain 150 lbs without dieting and r restriction is a miracle. I hope you try carnivore. I’ll be 63 next week, and I feel better than I did when I was 30. If I can do it, anyone can. And by the way, I have a terrible family history of heart disease and deaths from widowmaker heart attacks. My LDL has been high for years on keto, but my trigs and HDL are fantastic. My nurse practitioner doesn’t support my diet and freaks out over my LDL. I just had a coronary calcium scan 2 days ago, and my Agatston score is ZERO!!!
What an absolutely delightful lady. I'm going to be 50 in April and I'm on day 6 of high fat carnivore. I'm realizing that eating OMAD since the 80s has left my adrenals, thyroid and nervous system completely fried. Today I ate breakfast for the first time probably since I was 17 , I only managed to get one and a half eggs and one piece of bacon down but it's a start. Today I'm going to go for a walk in the woods, this will be a year of nourishing my body and healing. I've nursed both of my sick parents and lost them both in the last 2 years and I think I deserve to rest.
@@violentnewworld well I did that for 35 years and it didn't serve me so I'm trying something different now and eating more than once a day and I haven't gained weight so that's something.
@@tammiehammett5054 😊😊 I hope it all goes well for you. Who would have thought that diets could be so confusing and up in the air. Everything we thought we knew has been turned upside down. I wish you good health and good luck. 😊😊
Best wishes to you. Eat and take care of yourself . If you haven’t read the menopause book by Elizabeth Bright , check it out. She says women need fat and eating during the day -3 meals is good for us. Eat what you need in high fat carnivore and see how you do. It reduces our cortisol levels and helps us heal. She also encourages us to take 2 drops of Lugol’s 5% Solutuin to help replenish iodine not present in foods .
I'm 61 years old, female, 305 lbs., with type 2 diabetes diagnosed nearly 20 years ago. I'm on day 5 of Carnivore. This interview was such a blessing, such pearls of wisdom from a wonderful woman. May Yahweh bless you both.
I’m 65 yr old woman who started carnivore on the 1st of 2024, God help us both 😊🙏 I see lots of people starting this past week and I have hope to get healthy and rid of my inflammation problems along with 30 pounds of fat 👍 best of luck and don’t give up , perseverance is the key 🔑
@@janhart6411 Good to meet you Jan! I'm on day 40 and so far I've lost 10 pounds and my jeans are baggy (though weight loss was not my motivation to try carnivore). I had eliminated sugars and all processed foods for 2 months before I decided to try carnivore so there were no cravings. More energy and waking up alert and ready to go are the first real benefits for me. Good luck to you!
@@Mat-hh6hj Thanks Mat - now 3 months a carnivore and I can't see going back either. Have fallen into just 2 meals a day and I am never hungry between meals. That never happened on any other diet I tried!
I needed this. I'm 71 and still live in the past. My verse is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13 Now I need to live it. Thank you both for this video.
This is very inspiring! I'm 60 and have 9 autoimmune conditions including Crohn's and Hypothyroidism. Earlier this year I did 4 months on Carnivore (after trying every other diet) to help my Crohn's, but to my astonishment my asthma disappeared within days, the restless leg syndrome, sensitive bladder, indigestion etc - all gone! I was persuaded by a doctor to go back to eating everything, and all my symptoms have returned, so I'm going back on Carnivore again with good quality and no processed meat, eggs, cheese and butter. Thank you.
What a beautiful lady, Mary. I’m 72 and started carnivore a year ago. BEST thing I’ve ever done. More energy, no more medications, plus 45 lbs weight lose. If your thinking about doing it - go for it❗️❗️❗️
I love this woman's story. I am a Christian and her words really inspired me in every way but mostly her relationship with God has helped her in her journey. Thank you Judy for letting her tell her journey with honesty and compassion. Excellent video!
Even the lords word in scripture says something about being able freely eat meat. Deuteronomy 12:20 When the Lord your God expands your territory as he has promised, and you have the urge to eat meat, you may freely when you want. 😇👍
Thanks for an inspirational video. I woke up at 3:00 a.m. from a disturbing dream and reached for my phone for inspiration. What a blessing! I am just transitioning to carnivore (on day 3) after a year of intermittent fasting, and will do both. The life long cravings and hunger have already disappeared. I have been a Christian since 8 years old and am now 62 and feel better than ever. God reveals things in his perfect timing. Blessings!
I am on day 46 now I have lost 9 pounds, have tons of energy and my neck pain is getting better! I am still trying to figure out the 80/20 high fat ratio but I know this is the lifestyle for me 😊
Mary, I saw your first video and then today found this follow-up video! As a 73yo female carnivore, I've smiled for 75 minutes! We are kindred spirits. I've always been health conscience because of heart birth defect (hole in my heart that caused other heart issues). I became fully animal based three years ago and I'll never go back. You spoke the truth that our age is the best age yet and I fully expect it to get better and better. I love being retired now for three years, I garden like a maniac, dance to Tina Turner, read, write, daydream, plan, and feel better than I did at 40. I have enormous energy and have been told that my positivity is infectious, so yes I feel like we are kindred spirits. Thank you for such an inspiring 75 minutes! ❤
There is no evidence whatsoever the #CarnivoreDiet is effective in curing any conditions or diseases..only anecdotes..based on people who assert their misguided masculinity/tribal identity. It is an internet echo chamber causing actual harm. Subjective feeling better is placebo. It is retarded, and there is consiederable evidence to the contrary- a diet rich in Vegetables (Cruciferous, leafy greens), berries, wild fatty fish like wild salmon and sardines quinoa Healthy fats like Avocadoes, Olive oil nuts like Almonds walnuts eeds chia. It is an Internet Echo chamber of RETARDS who reinforce each other. Be on 10 years on Carnivore vs 10 years of a control group eating the diet I recommend a plant forward, flexatarian, pescatarian meddetarinai diet and see the difference in mortality rate vs two groups. SO what you ahve weight loss you also increase your risk of correctal cancer etc.
This makes me cry. I’m the only sisters who has chosen the healing and recovery path. My sisters and I had a horrific childhood. I pray someday we will have a healthy relationship!
Im 66 yrs old . Judy has inspired me so very much. I have diabetes, high blood presure, need to loose 100 lbs and need a knee replacement. I felt like I was just waiting to die now. But after watching both of your videos with Judy now i have hope and a new goal. To feel as good as Judy does at 80. Literally a new lease on life❤ thank you both sooooo much😊❤
I am 70, need 2 knee replacements, have Afib, hole in heart. Murmur, diabetes, etc and felt like you, like the end is coming. Now, I feel hopeful all can be healed on carnivore.
Just turned 77 and for a month I’ve been 95% carnivore and it’s made me feel physically and mentally so good. Good to hear her story and plan to stay carnivore!
What is the 5% not carnivore that you are eating? I want to do carnivore, but really don't want to give up a slice of toast in the morning nor potatoes. Half my garden bed is planted in potatoes and are growing huge plants woth blossomes on them now....
@@littlehummingbird1015 - I would like to know what the 5% the she is eating. I love fresh veggies, the greens. Have hard time giving the up completely.
80? Wow, she's looks so much younger...early '70's at least. I had this eye opening as well, though I never got sick, I ballooned after memo pause. Now I eat high fat, moderate protein and no carbs. I never knew your liver can make all the carbs you need. Healthy as a horse now. Just turned 68. Am never sick, don't go to doctors, take no drugs.
Thank you so much for this interview. I am almost 72 and am on carnivore for the most part. This lady is fantastic! Just what I needed to hear. Being older, I was concerned about how things work for us. It's great to have role models who are my age and older. I can hope that by the time I'm 80, I will be doing as well as this beautiful woman. ❤
I am 83 and have been carnivore for the last 3 months. Had to stop my medication after a week as my BP had dropped so much that I became dizzy. I also stopped the statin and the aspirin. The only thing I can't do without is my GERD tablets - maybe one day? I am very strict with my carnivore intake but do have one teaspoon of sugar in my coffee in the morning.
Great interview. I'm 68yrs old been keto for 40ys no health issues whatsoever. I believe it's my way of eating. I was put on this way of eating due to severe allergies a heart doctor that studied nutrition put me on the way of eating. I started carnivore 1 week ago. I have to say my bones are very strong, great skin, hair is thick and grows really fast. Most Doctors told me I will have a heart attack and because my cholesterol is high but I refused any meds. As American's big Pharma is killing us, must take care of our health where the master's of our own bodies. God Bless.
@@kathy4798 keto is low carb under 20 or 50 whatever you aim for. The other is eating zero carb basically meat & eggs, fish, cheese, drink water. There are trace carbs but on a nutrition label it would read zero
Mary is so youthful and beautiful inside and out. Mary Ruddick has gone deep into the Amazon and found carnivore tribes who easily live to 120 years. They don't even have a word for illness. The older people just die in their sleep, totally healthy.
@@yukonsusie Life expectancy for female inuits is of 76 years and for male inuits of 70; other Indigenous peoples have a life expectancy of 78 for females and 72 and a half for men (Statistics Canada, figures for 2011). Non native Canadians have a life expectancy of 84 for women and 80 for men (StatCan, 2019).
@@CatouMilou We need data of indgenous people today who moved to the 'civilized world', not back in 2011. The stats for non indigenous women is probably right, there's no way that men's average is 80. It cannot be so different than the north American, which is between 75-78 since the diets and life are similar. You forget to mention that life exp is going down quickly. Also, the same people are having serious health issues starting at 50-60, dragging their feet till 80 for a lot of them. Indig people are active and lead self reliant lives till the end. We don't need to change the facts. For all we know, the birth risk for indig people may be higher due to limited access to md facilities which brings their average down.
I connected with Mary after your last interview and she is truly a light in my life and a dear friend now. I’m aspiring to be this full of life, love, & energy at 80!!!💛
So excited to see an update from Mary! I am age 62 years 11 months 2 days and almost 14 months carnivore preceded by 12 years clean keto. I am the best I’ve ever been and so very hopeful about my future and my moving into even better health. I did all the diets like Mary including the grapefruit diet and the cabbage soup diet. Many times over. Seriously, every diet. And I wasn’t overweight during these diets. I’ve struggled with disordered eating and been in rehab. I think the many diets, especially calorie restriction during the years I ran miles per day and lifted heavy weights and dealt with exercise bulimia, were the most damaging. I think that is why I’ve taken longer to heal, too. I am hopeful, though. And I’m releasing the perfectionism. I walk around my kitchen island when the weather is bad, and lift weights and do yoga at home. Thank you so much for bringing Marry back. I need more women my age and older in my circle. Happy birthday to Mary! She looks and sounds decades younger.
I am 65 years old and I was also told that I was fat as a child. I look at my childhood pictures and I took have been through all those crazy diets. Now too I am doing Carnivore and have been for 11 months. I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and bad arthritis and most of my joints. The carnivore diet has really helped the pain but I'm hopeful for cure so I don't have to do anymore joint replacements. I identify with you and the crazy diets because I too have gone through all that. I think it's just our generation.
@@denisedobyns943 I’m so sorry that you’ve gone through this, and I do hope you get well. Carnivore has been really great for me in almost every way, even though I still have some issues. I have Hashimoto’s, too, plus celiac, psoriasis , tinnitus. I feel great, better than I have in decades. Im about to lower my compounded thyroid medication, and this scares me because I feel great and don’t want to mess with that. Take care! Keep us posted here.
Mary, you are the most vibrant 80 year old I have ever seen!!! Your mental acuity is perfect. Thank you for sharing your story so everyone can see what is possible. I also went carnivorous and many health issues resolved quickly.
Thank you, you’re so inspirational Mary! I’ve been sick all my life. I’ve studied nutrition for nearly 50 years trying every way of eating too. I’ve been on the carnivore diet for two months & I’m amazed how much better I’m feeling already. I don’t know what it’s like to sleep all night or have energy but improvement already. For the first time in my life I feel hope and happiness now. Looking forward to really living life without illness!!!
Mary, you simply are glowing! NEVER would have guessed you to be 80. Thank you for your honesty! You have reminded me that I have to let go of my flawed body image thinking NOW! Enough already!!!
I am a Christian too and very much appreciate how the two of you ministered to me and i am sure many others! I agree with all you said- i am startung the carnivore diet- had 'cheats' with cookies and bread but i am going to accept that and treat myself with compassion and keep working towards 100% carnivore for health- thank you ladies!
Having a Bellicon rebounder at home for especially when the weather is awful - is sooo helpful! Even 3-5 minutes helps lower my blood pressure along with a glass of water. I think it has to do with the lymphatic system moving. I do very gentle bouncing without lifting my feet from the mat. 😉
I’m only 62 and my blood pressure has been high like yours. I am on four different blood pressure medicine and I just started carnivore. My daughter told me about it I’m always in pain. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration to me.
My favorite interview yet!! Mary is a beautiful woman of faith with an inspiring testimony and tremendous wisdom. 🤍 Her journey of renewing the mind and healing layers of trauma while rebuilding health is similar to mine. Great idea to ask “what scripture can I stand on?” and claim that!!
Judy, this was an amazing interview and my husband and I really enjoyed it (he was quiet for an hour!). We have hope now to live healthier and happier on carnivore for a long long time. I was hoping that you would interview someone close to 80 years young because the young girls and men they always look slimmer and healthier than older people. But now my hopes are higher than before! Thank you and Mary! Live happy and eat meat all the time! Happy Birthday Mary!
Great interview! I relate to so many things in Mary's story. She is right on about the need to change our thought life to bring about true change and healing and nothing is more powerful than God's Word to do it! Way to go Mary! You are a true inspiration! ❤👍
I can't say thank you enough to you Judy and Mary!! I am 69 and very very similar past history with family and weight etc... This was one of the most inspiring conversations regarding carnivore, age and emotional mind set. Thank you, thank you. Happy Birthday Mary
I am a 72 year old Grandma living in UK and just starting Carnivore and, God Bless you Mary, you are a true inspiration to me right now. Thank You and Thank You Judy for bringing this to us. ❤❤❤
It’s so true about growing up in an abusive home, that sticks with you all your life! I was married for 50 years. While I was married I was busy with my family and life, I buried allot and stayed too busy and didn’t think much about it. It was when my hubby died, is when lots of feelings and memories flooded me! The past two years has been really tough! Depression is real. I am 70, and, thinking this may be just what I need to try this type of eating.
I'm 73yo with osteo arthritis. I'm morbidly obese since I have always followed the SAD way of eating. Recently, about a month ago, started the carnivore diet. ((Proper Human Diet, (PHD)). I've lost weight, about 30#, stopped needing one of 4 the BP/ heart meds I'm on while seeking to get rid of more of them gradually. I've learned so much from even this one interview about how to navigate the PHD lifestyle in my latter years and am so greatful for this gracious sister in Christ sharing her story. I get it. She spoke right to me in content and her heart. I know that I can live my life fully and in health, Lord willing. My goal is to be healthy. I know the weight will come off, the blood pressure will come down eventually, my heart muscle will heal and I'm forever greatful. What I want to know is will I ever reverse the arthritis? Will it stop the inflammation and clear the arthritis from my joints? If so, do you have tips that I can use? Thank you in advance!!
Building a little muscle, small weights casually, 5 minutes here there will relieve the pressure on your joints, too but your way of eating now will definitely help. Taking some fish oil caplets.
Hello....I have been eating the carnivore type diet for about 6 weeks.....I started this at 85 years old. I do not remember who showed up on my computer...and introduced me to this diet. Dr. Berry has helped us with his many teaching videos he does. It has really made my life easier....because planning and preparing vegetables for every meal...was tiresome for me. We were already mostly not eating carbs and staying away from sugar in all its many forms......because my husband had developed Prostate Cancer. I was the cook, and I decided to cook and eat the same as him....but found then, I started regaining health that I had lost. However I still had terrible Pain. ..caused by allergies and other causes including arthritis from injuries and Fybromyalgia. The journey so far has had good results....even tho some of my family think It is not a safe diet, not to eat fruits, vegetables or Breads. The changes have for both of us has made this a worthwhile diet. . For me, that I means for the rest of my life, I expect to continue to eat in this new life style. Any comments will be appreciated....I have not written anyone about this. Nor have I contacted anyone to ask questions. My doctors have to see the good results....so they have not cautioned us at all.
I get this woman ! This is me. I started carnivore for weight loss only but soon found my hypotension, hypoglycemia and mood improved ….I spent my life dieting and feeling like I’d be judged and criticized if I wasn’t physically perfect. My mother was a narcissist and she was absent emotionally. I’m still trying to heal and I am 62. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever heal
I'm 67, and I want to be Mary when I grow up! Nearly all my friends from five years younger up to 15 years older than me have T2, are overweight, "cover the desserts with insulin," they hurt all over, have gout, need joint replacements, sleep badly, and only one can walk a mile easily, while I feel great and run with their poor underexercised dogs, despite having moderate arthritis in one knee. I am on no meds. They take 4-10 pills a day. Low carb/keto/sometimes carnivore with no IF does this for me. My blood work is perfect. I'm not as slim as Mary but am healthy and energetic. I sleep hard and well.
Thank you SO MUCH! I loved Mary in the first interview and now I REALLY want to hug her!! I'm 75 and don't have Mary's self-discipline so my Carnivore journey is not yet as successful as hers. But I'm gonna keep at it! My optometrist was amazed ("you see so WELL!) at my last check up and I know that's from the meat but Mary's inspiration is what I need right now to stay with it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bonnie in northern Minnesota
This may help check out Dr. Ken Berry on keto and carnivore. He is excellent and I believe he was saying that on a carnivore way of eating your body does not need as much fiber to be healthy. And you will have less bowel movement but more effortless poop,s. I have been eating this way almost 2 and a half years. I am 70 and feel great most days; I will never go back to the junk foods!
@@lavontolbert3864 no problem at all. in the begiinning when you switch over to carnivore, you might experience diarrhea. How long? that is different for every single person. anywhere from a few days to about 2-3 weeks. After that transition period you will have beautiful regular bowel movements. good luck with your journey and much success
Omg! I can't believe I found this interview. I've always thought my blood pressure spikes were related to my adrenals caused by anxiety. Also the cause of my gut issues during stress. I feel like you're telling my story. As I get older I've noticed my anxiety affects me physically. I'm going to try the l thiamine and b3. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this interview! I too am a Christian and for me, turning to God's word is the only way for long term healing & sustainability! I appreciate Mary Fields so much!
It's the 10% that's the problem. I've tried that route. You simply have to bite the bullet and go 100% and white knuckle it for about a week. Everybody is different, but challenge yourself. Look in the mirror and keep telling yourself: "I am worth it!"
I still have some craving but not for ice cream nor cupcakes. Just chocolate and donuts. Lift some weights, run in place. When I do that, I feel strong as a result from carnivore amd that helps lower my cravings. Sometimes, I go for that butter ( salted) . Sometimes, I have a few bites and toss the rest and I don't have them around in the house amd ghave to go out and get them. It takes time because you've eaten those foods for a long time.
I’ll be 69 soon and JUST started carnivore. I really hope i can be successful on this journey. I want to enjoy whatever years I have left without pain and illness. This was a wonderful interview! Thank you!
Mary & Judy, thanks so much for this video!! I was introduced to Carnivore in November by my Daughter & SIL. After one month of very little sugar and lots of meat, I noticed that my pain level was almost ZERO, and has been that way as long as I do not eat SUGAR! The bonus is that I’ve also lost 25 lbs since Nov 15, 2022!!
What a wonderful woman Mary is! I'm a Christian too and have suffered in many of the same ways. She had really inspired me to continue my carnivore journey and to quote scripture when I have those negative thoughts! Thank you both!
Aged 70 here and carnivore 3 + years. Feeling great and health could hardly be better. No meds, labs are fine - life is good. Edited to add I was able to do my first unassisted chin up today since I was 15 years old. I credit the carnivore diet for helping me to lose weight while preserving and building muscle.
I’m so glad to hear her talk about Afib because my husband is just going low-carb and thinking about going carnivore and has Afib so I was a little nervous. I’ve been on carnivore for two weeks and I can already tell such a difference. I used to have a popping in my thumb all the time and it’s gone. I had a pressure behind my eyes. It’s gone. So excited to see what happens next! I’m feeling amazing! I have always eaten healthy, but in the last couple years really went vegetable heavy and I’ve never been more bloated or felt progressively worse. My clothes are already fitting better and I feel like I’m getting my life back. What a blessing!!! And Mary your skin is amazing!!!
What an inspiring story Mary has. She can give hope to so many. I very much relate to her childhood trauma and constant stress. It can be a tough road getting through life for some, but we are reminded that it can be done at any time and at any age. I loved hearing her say that she is happier now at 79 than she´s ever been in her life. I feel the exact same way at 66. I never thought it was possible to feel this good, physically and mentally, but I must have believed it was possible somewhere inside, and that hope is why I´m still here today. Thank you both, Judy and Mary. 🥰
Jackie, I chose you because it has only been two weeks since you watched and commented. Will you please tell me a good place to get just the basic questions answered ? I am wondering about vitamins and supplements. I am dreading EATING hunks of butter.🤮 I am wondering if I am to just dive in……or slowly build up to Carnivore. Just so many things swirling thru my almost 80 year old brain. I hope you will respond, Jackie !❤️
Mary, I was so tickled to see you here again! I was just thinking about you this morning! You look wonderful and your messages are so important. Thank you for sharing again! You ARE a ray of light! ❤
I’m 72, I’ve been 99% meat for 3 years. No Vegas no fruit I lost huge weight and feel g8. I had no health issues prior to going covert. Been programmed into believing the fat butter etc was bad Glad I found this channel ❤️ Thanks for sharing people ❤️Judy 🇳🇿
@@aurabaron278 actually only butter and salt However when I’m a guest I’ll eat potato and some veg. But never at home Which is 90% of time I only have rib eye No chicken or fish Ciao
I am 74 and just starting off. And I need to get this weight off my 4’ 11” frame. I am 165 and only 19 days . And I haven’t dropped a pound yet. I know I need to stay away from the scale for my mental health. I will say it’s getting easier. Thank you for everything I’ve heard here today. This is so helpful. It’s never too late to make the changes needed to be healthy and enjoy life. Thank you again! 💖
Mary, I love what you said about your last years on earth. So many say, well I’m going to die some day, I’m going to eat what I want and not worry. I always feel it’s sad. So many people are sick and on so much medicine and they are a burden to their families members and themselves. They just don’t see it. They can actually get in better health before they take their last breath and enjoy it now.
I have been so blessed by this video. I am 66 yrs of age n I too, had a childhood where my mom took me to the fam Dr at age 9 to start me on DIET pills. To this day I have this trauma n then I married 45 yrs ago n my husband also made horrible comments to me about my weight. I told them BOTH, MOM IS NOW 89 with dementia n my husband almost 69 , I told them BOTH before they DIE THEY WILL SEE ME THINNER . ITS a constant thing in my mind to lose weight to be " accepted " 😭
So glad you brought Mary back for an update-and I look forward to another one, perhaps next year! Wishing her a wonderful birthday! God bless you both. ❤
Wow, what a great conversation. I’m in my 60s but I aspire to be like this lady at 80, healthy, sane, self aware, positively directing her own health body/mind/spirit. I very much relate to the part about our body’s physical memory of events our conscious minds have swept under the carpet. I have experienced this first hand with dizzy spells or panic attacks seemingly out of the blue. You can can carry chronic, buried past stress and anxiety with no conscious awareness of it. I remember how the reality of that stunned me. It shouldn’t have, but it did.
Thank you Judy for for allowing a safe space for Mary to share her journey. Thank you Mary for being brave and sharing your traumas, your success, and your FAITH! I'm so happy that you have found healing! You are a beautiful person, fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God! God bless you!
I am truly amazed that Mary did not have a stroke when her blood pressure was extremely high. She is doing so well.... always learning at 80 years old.
I REMEMBER THE GRAPEFRUIT DIET! I couldn't do it because i couldn't stand the taste. We had an actual spoon just for eating grapefruits. We were told all the time low fat, little meat, even less red meat. The idea of eating red meat still scares me, but i had to do something. And boy do i understand IBS. Mine is the worst. If i manage to forget bentyl, my stomach tortures me. It surprises me that i can have heavy milk, but thank goodness it doesn't hurt me as much now. Congratulations, Mary. I was surprised that you found a way to get meat in February 2020, but I'm glad you did. I hope you'll stay interviewing and keeping in touch with all of us.
Oh i love this interview So happy to have seen this in my feed I also experienced so much trauma as a kid and struggle with a lot about my self image I love the fact you used scriptures to help you This interview was very helpful for me. I really believe that we need to declare scriptures for our lives to be free Another scripture is Philippians 4:8 “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 NLT

I'm 74 and had so many things wrong from so much stress all my life. I have a daughter that's quadriplegic and I'm alone way out in the country. I have my Jesus he is my best friend. I have arthritis so bad in my back ,knees, thumbs, ankles, neck , you name it , it hurts. I was a horse trainer all my life and have many aches and pains. I was bed ridden for 5 years and because of the food I was being fed gained 100 lbs. I started carnivore and lost 50 lbs the first year without exercise ,although I wanted to but my body said no. I'm now walking with a walker and caring for us alone and loving it. I hit a plateau for months so I started drinking 1 cup of black coffee with 1 Tb. Of cinnamon in the morning for 3 days and lost 5 lbs. Wow, that was a big THANK YOU JESUS.
That’s wonderful! God truly bless you!!❤🙏
What does the cinnamon do?
Thanks for inspiring me! I’m 72 and battling my doctor’s belief that carnivore is “just another FAD diet”. That comment sabotaged my spirit for a bit. But I needed to hear that you are so successful. I appreciate you both spreading the news. And yes I know about the ol’ grapefruit diet, too! Blessings back at both of you!
I truly enjoyed this interview as I could relate. I am 90 years old and I just started Conover four weeks ago. I do suffer from high blood pressure, candida, arthritis, and insomnia. I am already seeing some good results and have lost 5 pounds. I have been on every diet under the sun and I thought think I’ll try this one. What can I lose? I see that I can lose weight and I can lose all the symptoms that are not supposed to be in my body. Thank you for sharing I too am a Christian.
The connamon adds about 3x more toxic oxalates tahn are already in the tea. Maybe helpful ahort term but long term it will put her right back into pain and misery. Read up on oxalates!
One thing I like about Judy Cho , she's not trying to be a youtube star or guru to get attention. She is just trying to be accurate and really cares about us . Does anyone else feel that or am I crazy ? 🥴🤪🙂
Agree. So true 👍
Agree! Judy is the real deal and so intelligent, caring, and authentic.
Yeah. She's great
Judy is excellent!....those smiling eyes melts my heart 🤩
Yes, i just about stopped listening to everyone. They all have to come on half naked everytime, lol. I commented on Baker and Chaffee that they should all get together and pose for a porn calender and sell it as merch, lol. They are all like the the backside of the vegan community. Plastic personalities suck, for sure. It's all ego and it's a turn off.
This woman looks so much younger than her actual years. And just her voice alone is very strong.
Agreed! I honestly thought she was my age! I'm in my early 60's. :)
The sound of her voice reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis.
I am sure there is some plastic doctor help.
I agree....I was surprised at her age. She looks great! Buns of Steel! 😂 She cracked me up at that. 🤭😊👍
Yes, my mother is close to the same age. I can always tell how well she is doing when I listen to the strength of her voice
This is really great! I will be 81 in three weeks. I've been carnivore for almost 2 years. I've lost 50 pounds, am no longer pre-diabetic, have healed several other things. I was thinking a few days ago that I love being 80!
Congratulations on your success!! Any tips on how I might approach my 70 year old mother on trying carnivore, or even keto?
Beautiful and inspiring
Awesome! I'm curious to know what is your blood type? I've read that carnivore works best for people with blood type O (per Dr. Peter D' Adamo). Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼
@@Sarah_Inspired7My blood type is A
Lost 50 lbs in 2 years?
I am carnivore and just turned 81! 3 1/2 years now. I’m also long haul covid. I totally reversed my 20year long Diabetes 2 in about a month after starting. My doctor immediately took me off even insulin. Carnivore really works ❤
How do you manage constipation on carnivore????
That's fabulous God bless you and I pray you continue to heal!
@@opolotfrancis9946 you may not be eating enough fat or drinking enough water.
And on carnivore you're not going to go as much or as often.
@@opolotfrancis9946 never had to deal with that.
@@opolotfrancis9946 eat more fat, also your body uses all the nutrients from meat so you don't poop waste like you do with fiber which is undigestable.
Carnivore people all look wonderful, she is amazing!!
What a great story! I’m 49 and after one year vegan with autoimmune disease, joint pain and IBS, I am on a week of carnivore and I’m feeling better already! Thank you! ❤
Thanks for sharing good news !
How's the progress going?
I was vegan for six years and when I was told I had osteopenia and struggled losing weight, I got off vegan way of living. I am trying to get off processed food and sugar. I’m not a big meat eater but fake meat is highly processed so that is not an option for me. It’s always interesting to hear that carnivore is working for some people too. We all need to listen to our bodies. Thank you for sharing your journey.
How are doing now? Still carnivore?
Being car n is not new or groundbreaking it is the human way of living, the young writer who did a year living off the grid in Alaska did fine when he hu 'nted. As soon as he stopped and ate what he found, he went down hill and slowly wasted away. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. He kept notes. Many of us have all kinds of ailments from creal esp. Whether it's the natural or modifd kind, we will and probably never know.
I am a79 year old 95% carnivore. I have controled HBP and survived Covid wirh no problems. I eat a very few veggies. I eat 1 1/2 lb. meat daily mostly beef and turkey. My wife of 46 yrs. pased away with covid 2021. In 2018 I weighed 270 so started Carnivore and in 8 months I weighed 160 and have never been hungry.
Sorry about your wife’s passing. I think that’s wonderful that your healthy. My husband and I eat all an all plant diet and we never got sick either. Blessings.
@@undergrace1808 Could you give me an idea of your typical day’s diet?
Sorry about your wife! 🙏🏻
If a carnivore diet gets you to a proper weight, then great, but there are many paths to that result. The result is way more important than the path.
RIP to your wife Sir, must be so awful for you.
So refreshing to hear some Christian faith in the carnivore community! Glory to God for all things!
RIGHTTTTTT
I agree. I love and appreciate it😊💕
Totally agree. I’ve really enjoyed this interview❣️💕
So refreshing isn’t it.
I love all the scripture she's using in such a real way.
I am so inspired! At 60, I’m going to go all in carnivore! God sent this to give me the encouragement I needed to do it!!!! Excited.
I’m so excited for you! So glad you’ve decided to go carnivore! Hang in there esp for the first 3 months.. join a community group… it’ll help to have some support.
Go Barbie you can do it 💚🙌
I hope you got started! You can do it. I’m 62 and thriving on carnivore, and loving it. My friends always say I’m aging backwards.
Scared to move from keto, in which I’ve been super happy and feeling great for 3 years, into carnivore, but it seems I really need to because I’ve crept up slowly about 20 lbs in the past 2 years and just can’t seem to lose that last 50 lbs. You guys are inspiring me - I’m 62 and it’s good to hear from people my age that carnivore’s working for you!
@@kmsongbird I feel you! I started SCD (for gut healing - I had severe IBS and chronic gut pain) in 2009 then a year later, clean keto. After reaching my goal, I crept up about 15 pounds, too, over a very long period. My job was so stressful and I was sure that contributed. Also, I have autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto’s, and never seemed to get my thyroid levels optimized. I could not lose that 15 pounds. I’m 5’7” and very curvy, small waist, big boobs, real hips, plus I lift heavy weights and have for decades. 165 lbs was always good for me, so it has been my goal weight for a long time. I was 163 lbs for a good while until my weight started creeping up to 176 - 179 lbs after I started the stressful job. The cleaner I ate, the harder it seemed for me to maintain and I definitely couldn’t lose. I also had a flat belly even at the higher weight, but I developed that “spare tire” squishy belly fat above my waist line. I found myself back in old destructive dieting behaviors trying to change all this, and I knew I had to do something dramatic because I’ve struggled with disordered eating in the past.
I started carnivore on 10/21/21 at 176 lbs, less for weight loss and more to get my head back on straight. Several weeks later, I got back to 163 lbs. Then, in no time, I was at 150 lbs! This is my dream weight that I never thought I could reach again. I am so pleased with my body these days. My belly was flat again except for some loose skin, and I decided to get abdominoplasty surgery to take care of the loose skin. At one point years ago, my top weight was 231 lbs. I didn’t stay there long, but I did hover in the 190s for several years. For me to easily maintain 150 lbs without dieting and r restriction is a miracle. I hope you try carnivore. I’ll be 63 next week, and I feel better than I did when I was 30. If I can do it, anyone can. And by the way, I have a terrible family history of heart disease and deaths from widowmaker heart attacks. My LDL has been high for years on keto, but my trigs and HDL are fantastic. My nurse practitioner doesn’t support my diet and freaks out over my LDL. I just had a coronary calcium scan 2 days ago, and my Agatston score is ZERO!!!
What an absolutely delightful lady. I'm going to be 50 in April and I'm on day 6 of high fat carnivore. I'm realizing that eating OMAD since the 80s has left my adrenals, thyroid and nervous system completely fried. Today I ate breakfast for the first time probably since I was 17 , I only managed to get one and a half eggs and one piece of bacon down but it's a start. Today I'm going to go for a walk in the woods, this will be a year of nourishing my body and healing. I've nursed both of my sick parents and lost them both in the last 2 years and I think I deserve to rest.
I think you can still have omad whilst on carnivore, as long as you eat enough to sustain yourself.
💞
@@violentnewworld well I did that for 35 years and it didn't serve me so I'm trying something different now and eating more than once a day and I haven't gained weight so that's something.
@@tammiehammett5054 😊😊 I hope it all goes well for you. Who would have thought that diets could be so confusing and up in the air. Everything we thought we knew has been turned upside down. I wish you good health and good luck. 😊😊
Best wishes to you. Eat and take care of yourself . If you haven’t read the menopause book by Elizabeth Bright , check it out. She says women need fat and eating during the day -3 meals is good for us. Eat what you need in high fat carnivore and see how you do. It reduces our cortisol levels and helps us heal. She also encourages us to take 2 drops of Lugol’s 5% Solutuin to help replenish iodine not present in foods .
I’m 72 and been carnivore for 16 months and needed to hear this interview to continue and know there is healing still ahead of me. Thank you so much
I'm 61 years old, female, 305 lbs., with type 2 diabetes diagnosed nearly 20 years ago. I'm on day 5 of Carnivore. This interview was such a blessing, such pearls of wisdom from a wonderful woman. May Yahweh bless you both.
I’m 65 yr old woman who started carnivore on the 1st of 2024, God help us both 😊🙏 I see lots of people starting this past week and I have hope to get healthy and rid of my inflammation problems along with 30 pounds of fat 👍 best of luck and don’t give up , perseverance is the key 🔑
God bless you, praying you are consistent and successful!
As a 74 year old, 5 days into my carnivore diet, I really enjoyed the interview!
Hi Jan I'm 72 and I'm starting also...name is Jan also11 good luck on your journey !
@@janhart6411 Good to meet you Jan! I'm on day 40 and so far I've lost 10 pounds and my jeans are baggy (though weight loss was not my motivation to try carnivore). I had eliminated sugars and all processed foods for 2 months before I decided to try carnivore so there were no cravings. More energy and waking up alert and ready to go are the first real benefits for me. Good luck to you!
Me too!!
Go go go I am 51 and 5 years in to carnivorous diet. Never better never going back
@@Mat-hh6hj Thanks Mat - now 3 months a carnivore and I can't see going back either. Have fallen into just 2 meals a day and I am never hungry between meals. That never happened on any other diet I tried!
I needed this. I'm 71 and still live in the past. My verse is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13 Now I need to live it. Thank you both for this video.

This is very inspiring! I'm 60 and have 9 autoimmune conditions including Crohn's and Hypothyroidism. Earlier this year I did 4 months on Carnivore (after trying every other diet) to help my Crohn's, but to my astonishment my asthma disappeared within days, the restless leg syndrome, sensitive bladder, indigestion etc - all gone! I was persuaded by a doctor to go back to eating everything, and all my symptoms have returned, so I'm going back on Carnivore again with good quality and no processed meat, eggs, cheese and butter. Thank you.
Sounds like you need to fire your doctor😅👍
Try to get them all local from a farm. More expensive yet I eat way less now because I am just not hungry.
Once a day…I am good
I also heard that grass fed meats will give the already processed nutrients that come from the earth.
Doctors want you sick, they get to push more pills for their masters
Excellent news ! YOu know your body .. keep on unless things change
Mary is beautiful and so intelligent. Her face and skin are lovely. Young at all levels and wise from experiences.
What a beautiful lady, Mary. I’m 72 and started carnivore a year ago. BEST thing I’ve ever done. More energy, no more medications, plus 45 lbs weight lose. If your thinking about doing it - go for it❗️❗️❗️
Wow! Good job. Txs for sharing.
I’ve been on it since January 9,2023. Best thing I’ve ever done!

I love this woman's story. I am a Christian and her words really inspired me in every way but mostly her relationship with God has helped her in her journey. Thank you Judy for letting her tell her journey with honesty and compassion. Excellent video!
I am so so-o-o tired of "god" being injected into EVERY F**NG thing that has nothing to do with any religion. so lame.
Even the lords word in scripture says something about being able freely eat meat. Deuteronomy 12:20 When the Lord your God expands your territory as he has promised, and you have the urge to eat meat, you may freely when you want. 😇👍
Thanks for an inspirational video. I woke up at 3:00 a.m. from a disturbing dream and reached for my phone for inspiration. What a blessing! I am just transitioning to carnivore (on day 3) after a year of intermittent fasting, and will do both. The life long cravings and hunger have already disappeared. I have been a Christian since 8 years old and am now 62 and feel better than ever. God reveals things in his perfect timing. Blessings!
I was told in middle of the night about raw food diet, not vegan though. I'll give a try too. Bless you.
I eat raw steak with Real Salt. Darn, now I'm hungry.
I’m 61 and started 5 days ago no hunger and feeling good. We got this!!!

Mary, I saw your first video and then today found this follow-up video! As a 73yo female carnivore, I've smiled for 75 minutes! We are kindred spirits. I've always been health conscience because of heart birth defect (hole in my heart that caused other heart issues). I became fully animal based three years ago and I'll never go back. You spoke the truth that our age is the best age yet and I fully expect it to get better and better. I love being retired now for three years, I garden like a maniac, dance to Tina Turner, read, write, daydream, plan, and feel better than I did at 40. I have enormous energy and have been told that my positivity is infectious, so yes I feel like we are kindred spirits. Thank you for such an inspiring 75 minutes! ❤
There is no evidence whatsoever the #CarnivoreDiet is effective in curing any conditions or diseases..only anecdotes..based on people who assert their misguided masculinity/tribal identity. It is an internet echo chamber causing actual harm. Subjective feeling better is placebo.
It is retarded, and there is consiederable evidence to the contrary- a diet rich in Vegetables (Cruciferous, leafy greens), berries, wild fatty fish like wild salmon and sardines quinoa Healthy fats like Avocadoes, Olive oil nuts like Almonds walnuts eeds chia.
It is an Internet Echo chamber of RETARDS who reinforce each other. Be on 10 years on Carnivore vs 10 years of a control group eating the diet I recommend a plant forward, flexatarian, pescatarian meddetarinai diet and see the difference in mortality rate vs two groups.
SO what you ahve weight loss you also increase your risk of correctal cancer etc.

But after watching both of your videos with Judy now i have hope and a new goal. To feel as good as Judy does at 80. Literally a new lease on life❤ thank you both sooooo much😊❤

Thank you so much for this interview. I am almost 72 and am on carnivore for the most part. This lady is fantastic! Just what I needed to hear. Being older, I was concerned about how things work for us. It's great to have role models who are my age and older. I can hope that by the time I'm 80, I will be doing as well as this beautiful woman. ❤
Yes it is really nice to see ppl of the older age doing this woe and not only the young ppl. I'm 60 this yr and I want to see older ppl doing this.
I am 83 and have been carnivore for the last 3 months. Had to stop my medication after a week as my BP had dropped so much that I became dizzy.
I also stopped the statin and the aspirin. The only thing I can't do without is my GERD tablets - maybe one day? I am very strict with my carnivore intake but do have one teaspoon of sugar in my coffee in the morning.
In ten more years I'll be 80. What an inspiration for my next ten years and beyond!
In 40 more years I'll be 100...lol

@@laurablaura thank you!
Great interview. I'm 68yrs old been keto for 40ys no health issues whatsoever. I believe it's my way of eating. I was put on this way of eating due to severe allergies a heart doctor that studied nutrition put me on the way of eating. I started carnivore 1 week ago. I have to say my bones are very strong, great skin, hair is thick and grows really fast. Most Doctors told me I will have a heart attack and because my cholesterol is high but I refused any meds. As American's big Pharma is killing us, must take care of our health where the master's of our own bodies. God Bless.
PT, what is the difference between keto and carnivore? I thought they were the same.
Why did you switch to carnivore?
@@kathy4798 keto is low carb under 20 or 50 whatever you aim for. The other is eating zero carb basically meat & eggs, fish, cheese, drink water. There are trace carbs but on a nutrition label it would read zero
Mary is so youthful and beautiful inside and out. Mary Ruddick has gone deep into the Amazon and found carnivore tribes who easily live to 120 years. They don't even have a word for illness. The older people just die in their sleep, totally healthy.
Wow! That’s awesome! I wonder how long traditional Inuit elders lived, with fat and meat diets. I bet over 100 too! Thanks for sharing!
@@yukonsusie Life expectancy for female inuits is of 76 years and for male inuits of 70; other Indigenous peoples have a life expectancy of 78 for females and 72 and a half for men (Statistics Canada, figures for 2011). Non native Canadians have a life expectancy of 84 for women and 80 for men (StatCan, 2019).
@@CatouMilou We need data of indgenous people today who moved to the 'civilized world', not back in 2011. The stats for non indigenous women is probably right, there's no way that men's average is 80. It cannot be so different than the north American, which is between 75-78 since the diets and life are similar. You forget to mention that life exp is going down quickly. Also, the same people are having serious health issues starting at 50-60, dragging their feet till 80 for a lot of them. Indig people are active and lead self reliant lives till the end. We don't need to change the facts. For all we know, the birth risk for indig people may be higher due to limited access to md facilities which brings their average down.
Inuits no longer eat just their original, native diet. Processed foods have crept in!
I would love an update with Mary every couple of years for motivation
My exercise of choice is using my mini rebounder! Five minutes, three times a day. Great for ballance and energy. Happy Birthday, Mary!
I connected with Mary after your last interview and she is truly a light in my life and a dear friend now. I’m aspiring to be this full of life, love, & energy at 80!!!💛
So excited to see an update from Mary! I am age 62 years 11 months 2 days and almost 14 months carnivore preceded by 12 years clean keto. I am the best I’ve ever been and so very hopeful about my future and my moving into even better health. I did all the diets like Mary including the grapefruit diet and the cabbage soup diet. Many times over. Seriously, every diet. And I wasn’t overweight during these diets. I’ve struggled with disordered eating and been in rehab. I think the many diets, especially calorie restriction during the years I ran miles per day and lifted heavy weights and dealt with exercise bulimia, were the most damaging. I think that is why I’ve taken longer to heal, too. I am hopeful, though. And I’m releasing the perfectionism. I walk around my kitchen island when the weather is bad, and lift weights and do yoga at home. Thank you so much for bringing Marry back. I need more women my age and older in my circle. Happy birthday to Mary! She looks and sounds decades younger.
I am 65 years old and I was also told that I was fat as a child. I look at my childhood pictures and I took have been through all those crazy diets. Now too I am doing Carnivore and have been for 11 months. I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and bad arthritis and most of my joints. The carnivore diet has really helped the pain but I'm hopeful for cure so I don't have to do anymore joint replacements. I identify with you and the crazy diets because I too have gone through all that. I think it's just our generation.
@@denisedobyns943 I’m so sorry that you’ve gone through this, and I do hope you get well. Carnivore has been really great for me in almost every way, even though I still have some issues. I have Hashimoto’s, too, plus celiac, psoriasis , tinnitus. I feel great, better than I have in decades. Im about to lower my compounded thyroid medication, and this scares me because I feel great and don’t want to mess with that. Take care! Keep us posted here.

Mary, you are the most vibrant 80 year old I have ever seen!!! Your mental acuity is perfect. Thank you for sharing your story so everyone can see what is possible. I also went carnivorous and many health issues resolved quickly.
Thank you, you’re so inspirational Mary! I’ve been sick all my life. I’ve studied nutrition for nearly 50 years trying every way of eating too. I’ve been on the carnivore diet for two months & I’m amazed how much better I’m feeling already. I don’t know what it’s like to sleep all night or have energy but improvement already. For the first time in my life I feel hope and happiness now. Looking forward to really living life without illness!!!
Is there a problem not having fiber and staying regular?
@@lavontolbert3864 yes that’s what I would like to know. Did anyone ever answer that question for you About regularity and fiber?
Dr. Berry
@@lavontolbert3864 None whatsoever.
She is extremely beautiful and looks really healthy !!!😍
Mary, you simply are glowing! NEVER would have guessed you to be 80. Thank you for your honesty! You have reminded me that I have to let go of my flawed body image thinking NOW! Enough already!!!
I am a Christian too and very much appreciate how the two of you ministered to me and i am sure many others! I agree with all you said- i am startung the carnivore diet- had 'cheats' with cookies and bread but i am going to accept that and treat myself with compassion and keep working towards 100% carnivore for health- thank you ladies!
Having a Bellicon rebounder at home for especially when the weather is awful - is sooo helpful! Even 3-5 minutes helps lower my blood pressure along with a glass of water. I think it has to do with the lymphatic system moving. I do very gentle bouncing without lifting my feet from the mat. 😉
I’m only 62 and my blood pressure has been high like yours. I am on four different blood pressure medicine and I just started carnivore. My daughter told me about it I’m always in pain. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration to me.
My favorite interview yet!! Mary is a beautiful woman of faith with an inspiring testimony and tremendous wisdom. 🤍 Her journey of renewing the mind and healing layers of trauma while rebuilding health is similar to mine. Great idea to ask “what scripture can I stand on?” and claim that!!
Judy, this was an amazing interview and my husband and I really enjoyed it (he was quiet for an hour!). We have hope now to live healthier and happier on carnivore for a long long time.
I was hoping that you would interview someone close to 80 years young because the young girls and men they always look slimmer and healthier than older people. But now my hopes are higher than before!
Thank you and Mary!
Live happy and eat meat all the time!
Happy Birthday Mary!
Great interview! I relate to so many things in Mary's story. She is right on about the need to change our thought life to bring about true change and healing and nothing is more powerful than God's Word to do it! Way to go Mary! You are a true inspiration! ❤👍
Hilarious that the cowardly christian god helps so many and yet is so chicken shit that he plays hide&seek professionally *
I can't say thank you enough to you Judy and Mary!! I am 69 and very very similar past history with family and weight etc... This was one of the most inspiring conversations regarding carnivore, age and emotional mind set. Thank you, thank you. Happy Birthday Mary
I am a 72 year old Grandma living in UK and just starting Carnivore and, God Bless you Mary, you are a true inspiration to me right now. Thank You and Thank You Judy for bringing this to us. ❤❤❤
It’s so true about growing up in an abusive home, that sticks with you all your life! I was married for 50 years. While I was married I was busy with my family and life, I buried allot and stayed too busy and didn’t think much about it. It was when my hubby died, is when lots of feelings and memories flooded me! The past two years has been really tough! Depression is real. I am 70, and, thinking this may be just what I need to try this type of eating.
I'm 73yo with osteo arthritis. I'm morbidly obese since I have always followed the SAD way of eating. Recently, about a month ago, started the carnivore diet. ((Proper Human Diet, (PHD)). I've lost weight, about 30#, stopped needing one of 4 the BP/ heart meds I'm on while seeking to get rid of more of them gradually.
I've learned so much from even this one interview about how to navigate the PHD lifestyle in my latter years and am so greatful for this gracious sister in Christ sharing her story. I get it. She spoke right to me in content and her heart. I know that I can live my life fully and in health, Lord willing. My goal is to be healthy. I know the weight will come off, the blood pressure will come down eventually, my heart muscle will heal and I'm forever greatful. What I want to know is will I ever reverse the arthritis? Will it stop the inflammation and clear the arthritis from my joints? If so, do you have tips that I can use? Thank you in advance!!
My son in joints has gone ,only pain in lower back . I'm hopeful x 😊
Building a little muscle, small weights casually, 5 minutes here there will relieve the pressure on your joints, too but your way of eating now will definitely help. Taking some fish oil caplets.
Oh TY ty ty for having someone who is not 30/40 Yrs old. Im 63, carnivore for 13 months...yet I still struggle with age related thing!!!
God bless you both! Turned 73 in January. 2 years Carnivore. Best life ever! Love hearing from all of you! 😍
I love how Mary shared her faith!!!🙌🏻🙏🏻
Hello....I have been eating the carnivore type diet for about 6 weeks.....I started this at 85 years old. I do not remember who showed up on my computer...and introduced me to this diet. Dr. Berry has helped us with his many teaching videos he does. It has really made my life easier....because planning and preparing vegetables for every meal...was tiresome for me.
We were already mostly not eating carbs and staying away from sugar in all its many forms......because my husband had developed Prostate Cancer. I was the cook, and I decided to cook and eat the same as him....but found then, I started regaining health that I had lost. However I still had terrible Pain. ..caused by allergies and other causes including arthritis from injuries and Fybromyalgia. The journey so far has had good results....even tho some of my family think It is not a safe diet, not to eat fruits, vegetables or Breads. The changes have for both of us has made this a worthwhile diet. . For me, that I means for the rest of my life, I expect to continue to eat in this new life style. Any comments will be appreciated....I have not written anyone about this. Nor have I contacted anyone to ask questions. My doctors have to see the good results....so they have not cautioned us at all.
I get this woman ! This is me. I started carnivore for weight loss only but soon found my hypotension, hypoglycemia and mood improved ….I spent my life dieting and feeling like I’d be judged and criticized if I wasn’t physically perfect. My mother was a narcissist and she was absent emotionally. I’m still trying to heal and I am 62. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever heal
Such a great interview! Mary has so much wisdom, love her attitude towards aging! I will watch this several times! Thank you!
I'm 67, and I want to be Mary when I grow up! Nearly all my friends from five years younger up to 15 years older than me have T2, are overweight, "cover the desserts with insulin," they hurt all over, have gout, need joint replacements, sleep badly, and only one can walk a mile easily, while I feel great and run with their poor underexercised dogs, despite having moderate arthritis in one knee. I am on no meds. They take 4-10 pills a day. Low carb/keto/sometimes carnivore with no IF does this for me. My blood work is perfect. I'm not as slim as Mary but am healthy and energetic. I sleep hard and well.
Thank you SO MUCH! I loved Mary in the first interview and now I REALLY want to hug her!! I'm 75 and don't have Mary's self-discipline so my Carnivore journey is not yet as successful as hers. But I'm gonna keep at it! My optometrist was amazed ("you see so WELL!) at my last check up and I know that's from the meat but Mary's inspiration is what I need right now to stay with it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bonnie in northern Minnesota
I’m 75 also, and seriously considering this diet. I am concerned about not having any fiber and staying regular. Is that a problem?
This may help check out Dr. Ken Berry on keto and carnivore. He is excellent and I believe he was saying that on a carnivore way of eating your body does not need as much fiber to be healthy. And you will have less bowel movement but more effortless poop,s. I have been eating this way almost 2 and a half years. I am 70 and feel great most days; I will never go back to the junk foods!
@@lavontolbert3864 no problem at all. in the begiinning when you switch over to carnivore, you might experience diarrhea. How long? that is different for every single person. anywhere from a few days to about 2-3 weeks. After that transition period you will have beautiful regular bowel movements. good luck with your journey and much success
Going to try it tired of fiber mirlax colace still can't poop right so it can't hurt to try
Omg! I can't believe I found this interview. I've always thought my blood pressure spikes were related to my adrenals caused by anxiety. Also the cause of my gut issues during stress. I feel like you're telling my story. As I get older I've noticed my anxiety affects me physically. I'm going to try the l thiamine and b3. Thank you!
@kerrymegie2799
No, it's L-Theanine (a green tea extract.)
Thiamine is B1 (vitamin)
@@barbarafairbanks4578 thx Barbara
I love this interview and Mary’s spiritual aspect with how she lives her life.
"The body keeps the score," so good, Judy! Thank you for sharing your Christian journey in healing old wounds - So refreshing, Mary!
Amen..I am just starting this journey
Mary is a beacon of light in my life too & I am so blessed to be her friend. Thank you both for this wonderful video. ❤🙏❤️
I really enjoyed this interview! I too am a Christian and for me, turning to God's word is the only way for long term healing & sustainability! I appreciate Mary Fields so much!
WOW! She looks great!! Great video...thank you so much for having older women on your shows. We need more videos like these. This was SO helpful.
Yes! It’s def more encouraging for me when there’s older women than young bouncy 20 yo hehe!
I’m 75 and I’m trying to get to carnivore. I’m about 90%. And still struggling with cravings, but I’ll continue with it.
Now when I’am craving I take a big slice of butter. Miracle ! The craving is gone. Sorry for my English.
It's the 10% that's the problem. I've tried that route. You simply have to bite the bullet and go 100% and white knuckle it for about a week. Everybody is different, but challenge yourself. Look in the mirror and keep telling yourself: "I am worth it!"
Butter, even 1 stick a day. Better sleep also.
I still have some craving but not for ice cream nor cupcakes. Just chocolate and donuts. Lift some weights, run in place. When I do that, I feel strong as a result from carnivore amd that helps lower my cravings. Sometimes, I go for that butter ( salted) . Sometimes, I have a few bites and toss the rest and I don't have them around in the house amd ghave to go out and get them.
It takes time because you've eaten those foods for a long time.
I’ll be 69 soon and JUST started carnivore. I really hope i can be successful on this journey. I want to enjoy whatever years I have left without pain and illness. This was a wonderful interview! Thank you!
Wow I just finished watching her and you Judy and I was going to search her name to see if I could find her again ! .. so cool😎 thanks Judy ! ♥️
Mary & Judy, thanks so much for this video!!
I was introduced to Carnivore in November by my Daughter & SIL. After one month of very little sugar and lots of meat, I noticed that my pain level was almost ZERO, and has been that way as long as I do not eat SUGAR! The bonus is that I’ve also lost 25 lbs since Nov 15, 2022!!
I think it may be that the sugar is the biggest problem. So what would be the problem with eating beans brown rice lots of veggies raw and cooked?
@@kathy4798 Beans and rice are heavy carbs. Veggies are lighter carbs. But all are carbs.
What a wonderful woman Mary is! I'm a Christian too and have suffered in many of the same ways. She had really inspired me to continue my carnivore journey and to quote scripture when I have those negative thoughts! Thank you both!
Aged 70 here and carnivore 3 + years. Feeling great and health could hardly be better. No meds, labs are fine - life is good.
Edited to add I was able to do my first unassisted chin up today since I was 15 years old. I credit the carnivore diet for helping me to lose weight while preserving and building muscle.
I had to look up what "chin up" means since it is not my mother tongue. Now I understand, and I am sooo impressed. Congratulations.
I never could do chin ups 🤣
Unassisted!? That's amazing, I'm 34 and can't even do one!
I’m so glad to hear her talk about Afib because my husband is just going low-carb and thinking about going carnivore and has Afib so I was a little nervous. I’ve been on carnivore for two weeks and I can already tell such a difference. I used to have a popping in my thumb all the time and it’s gone. I had a pressure behind my eyes. It’s gone. So excited to see what happens next! I’m feeling amazing! I have always eaten healthy, but in the last couple years really went vegetable heavy and I’ve never been more bloated or felt progressively worse. My clothes are already fitting better and I feel like I’m getting my life back. What a blessing!!! And Mary your skin is amazing!!!
Loved this! I'm 66 years old and on my 2nd day of carnivore. This interview inspired me so much! Thank you for sharing 😊
D3 N K2 MADE MY BLOOD PRESSURE TO NORMAL AND CLEARED MY ARTERIES FROM ALL THE CALCIUM AND GAVE ME A LOOOT OF BLOOD FLOW
What an inspiring story Mary has. She can give hope to so many. I very much relate to her childhood trauma and constant stress. It can be a tough road getting through life for some, but we are reminded that it can be done at any time and at any age. I loved hearing her say that she is happier now at 79 than she´s ever been in her life. I feel the exact same way at 66. I never thought it was possible to feel this good, physically and mentally, but I must have believed it was possible somewhere inside, and that hope is why I´m still here today. Thank you both, Judy and Mary. 🥰
I love Mary's faith and how she brings it forth! I am 74 and doing carnivore for about 4 months. I feel great and feel better than when I was 40!
Jackie, I chose you because it has only been two weeks since you watched and commented. Will you please tell me a good place to get just the basic questions answered ? I am wondering about vitamins and supplements. I am dreading EATING hunks of butter.🤮 I am wondering if I am to just dive in……or slowly build up to Carnivore. Just so many things swirling thru my almost 80 year old brain. I hope you will respond, Jackie !❤️
As an older woman, this was truly excellent! Thank you both!
I'm 61, and this has given me so much hope! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Mary ❤️ You and Judy are bright lights!🙌
Mary, I was so tickled to see you here again! I was just thinking about you this morning! You look wonderful and your messages are so important. Thank you for sharing again! You ARE a ray of light! ❤
Praise the Lord! Thank you for not editing out Mary's praise of the Lord. Christ truly is the greatest physician!!
Loves this interview. Can relate to SO MUCH of it. ❤
I’m 72, I’ve been 99% meat for 3 years.
No Vegas no fruit
I lost huge weight and feel g8.
I had no health issues prior to going covert.
Been programmed into believing the fat butter etc was bad
Glad I found this channel ❤️
Thanks for sharing people
❤️Judy
🇳🇿
Hi. Could you please tell me what kind of food you eat with meat. Thanks
@@aurabaron278 actually only butter and salt
However when I’m a guest
I’ll eat potato and some veg.
But never at home
Which is 90% of time
I only have rib eye
No chicken or fish
Ciao
God bless you ladies. Thank you so much for sharing your truth. Today is my 30 day anniversary on the carnivore diet! Feeling fantastic!
Mary is such a beautiful person inside and out. I’m 76 and hope I can have her beauty and grace when I’m 80.
I am 74 and just starting off. And I need to get this weight off my 4’ 11” frame. I am 165 and only 19 days . And I haven’t dropped a pound yet. I know I need to stay away from the scale for my mental health. I will say it’s getting easier. Thank you for everything I’ve heard here today. This is so helpful. It’s never too late to make the changes needed to be healthy and enjoy life. Thank you again! 💖
Mary, I love what you said about your last years on earth. So many say, well I’m going to die some day, I’m going to eat what I want and not worry. I always feel it’s sad. So many people are sick and on so much medicine and they are a burden to their families members and themselves. They just don’t see it. They can actually get in better health before they take their last breath and enjoy it now.
I have been so blessed by this video. I am 66 yrs of age n I too, had a childhood where my mom took me to the fam Dr at age 9 to start me on DIET pills. To this day I have this trauma n then I married 45 yrs ago n my husband also made horrible comments to me about my weight. I told them BOTH, MOM IS NOW 89 with dementia n my husband almost 69 , I told them BOTH before they DIE THEY WILL SEE ME THINNER . ITS a constant thing in my mind to lose weight to be " accepted " 😭
Sending you healing energy 🤍
Praying for you to keep going on carnivore…
Carnivore is helping me too❤
Jesus can help you. I love Jesus
So glad you brought Mary back for an update-and I look forward to another one, perhaps next year! Wishing her a wonderful birthday! God bless you both. ❤
I would love to see you have her come back every year or two and let us see how someone 80+ is doing as she continues to age! Thanks, Judy!
Wow, what a great conversation. I’m in my 60s but I aspire to be like this lady at 80, healthy, sane, self aware, positively directing her own health body/mind/spirit. I very much relate to the part about our body’s physical memory of events our conscious minds have swept under the carpet. I have experienced this first hand with dizzy spells or panic attacks seemingly out of the blue. You can can carry chronic, buried past stress and anxiety with no conscious awareness of it. I remember how the reality of that stunned me. It shouldn’t have, but it did.
Thank you Judy and Mary. Your bíblical counsel hit me right on the target. This was a message from God to me.
I love Judy. So knowledgeable and caring. So lovely and peaceful.
Thank you Judy for for allowing a safe space for Mary to share her journey.
Thank you Mary for being brave and sharing your traumas, your success, and your FAITH! I'm so happy that you have found healing! You are a beautiful person, fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God! God bless you!
Also...Mary's voice is so strong and young-sounding that, if I'd not known her age, I'd have thought she was much younger!
Amen Mary. Our final years will be far greater than our former years. I am 62 yrs old and 4.5months carnivore and looking forward to life. PTL.
I am truly amazed that Mary did not have a stroke when her blood pressure was extremely high. She is doing so well.... always learning at 80 years old.
I wonder how many people go round with very high blood pressure from time to time without realizing.
@@ankewynmalen1186 I would think most people do.
I REMEMBER THE GRAPEFRUIT DIET! I couldn't do it because i couldn't stand the taste. We had an actual spoon just for eating grapefruits.
We were told all the time low fat, little meat, even less red meat. The idea of eating red meat still scares me, but i had to do something. And boy do i understand IBS. Mine is the worst. If i manage to forget bentyl, my stomach tortures me. It surprises me that i can have heavy milk, but thank goodness it doesn't hurt me as much now.
Congratulations, Mary. I was surprised that you found a way to get meat in February 2020, but I'm glad you did. I hope you'll stay interviewing and keeping in touch with all of us.
Oh i love this interview
So happy to have seen this in my feed
I also experienced so much trauma as a kid and struggle with a lot about my self image
I love the fact you used scriptures to help you
This interview was very helpful for me.
I really believe that we need to declare scriptures for our lives to be free
Another scripture is Philippians 4:8
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
Philippians 4:8 NLT
