I mean I will 4 tsp usually and then if I'm stressed I will up it. I started out with eight teaspoons a butter but I only up the better when i'm stressed like I doctor bright said
Hello, pretty sorry I don't know your name, but I'm your all-time follower who has benefited from your contents. Can you please tell me the 76 to 24 ratio in terms of food. Thanks.
Great video. Terrible terrible title for this video. My first read based on the title.. was actually to avoid this video. I understand butter like many other good fats can be incredibly healthful. I understand you want to call out "trick" therapies or over simplified ways of looking at things, but this title does not convey the real message that your guest and I presume you wanted to convey. This video is really about how to achieve a healthy endocrine system and that is through a high fat diet, and one of a number of very very healthful fats is Tallow, Butter, Cocunut.. etc. etc. Like so many youtubers there is some desire to create sensationalized video titles. Please make your titles more informative less sensational.
I'm doing great since I added butter to my carnivore diet. Felt awful after three months of carnivore last year. Went back to it a month ago. Feeling so much better since adding butter in my coffee and steak. I've been way moire satiated. Not getting hungry, and am dropping weight. Adding more fat was a game changer for me.
@@LifeIsWonderful675 Lol. I've retooled my diet AGAIN. started eating some veggies (low oxylate type,) because my constipation and bowel issues were terrible with a carnivore diet. About a month ago I Gave up coffee and started eating Whole yogurt. All the inflammation in my feet went away and my knees are Waaaay better!. I eat fat with my meat and some butter with various vegetables, but I'm not eating an extra amount. I had a lot of problems with I think was oxylate dumping. At this point it's hard to tell what is helping me. Was it giving up coffee or adding yogurt? Hard to tell. I don't miss the Coffee. Guess it was just a 43 year habit. I don't think there is a one size fits all diet.
Nobel prize Wimmer on both sides calling the others idiots. When I looked into keto 5 years ago I noticed that. You have to try everything on yourself and f ind what works for you
Pretty simple. Species appropriate diet. How did we eat for millions of years. Everything that came after agriculture and particularly the modern food system is a corporate fiction marketing scam.
With today's society trying to distort and even erase gender, it is oddly refreshing to hear these ladies talking about men and women in the impacts of gender with the carnivore diet. Yes I know strange comment for this video but it's nice to hear some common sense for once
I don't think anyone is trying to erase gender per se, I think society is just making room for people who don't directly identify with one gender, or who identify more with the other gender. This obviously isn't the majority of people so I don't see why it's a problem to make some space for unique individuals.
It just makes me wonder how much the gender dysphoria has to do with poisons in the environment and bad nutrition since it’s obviously a mental health and more directly, an endocrine nightmare out there given the degree of malnutrition at least two generations have suffered from.
@@jenniek8391 It's a problem that people are taught that gender and personality or preferences are the same. Gender is primarily another word for biological sex, not how one looks or feels. Boys and girls have always come with a variety of personalities and talents, and that is fine. It is a problem to try to shame and/or force all of society to change in a way that causes so much unnecessary confusion and discord for the sake of individuals who need less confusion and discord, themselves.
Lack of funds and being broke after working 50 hours a week doesn't help. Not knowing if you will have place to live. Those things keep cortisol high too.
When my daughter was a pre-teen and now teen, she has often craved or gone through phases of intensely eating certain foods like salmon with the skin, steak/beef with all the fat, butter, liver, etc. Thankfully, we already include those foods in our normal diet so she had full access to them when she wanted more.
Please help your daughter to stay on the right track like she is doing now!! I didn't have this info when I went through my teens.Became obesive and struggle for yrs, because of lack of knowledge.Good luck on her health journey!!
We are born and our first food is breast milk!!! And when we try vegetables we feel great discomfort, if we don't add seasonings there's no way we can eat them. When we eat meat our body accepts it very naturally.
Dr.Bright....i have a heart condition...thank you for giving me medically sound advice concerning cardio...I have atrial fibrillation.. and tachycardia...I had the tetralogy of fallot surgery at 7 yrs old in 1977....just really want to thank you .... I could go on and on about my hell life..and deaths...I knew That's why I gained weight...could write a book so I'm told ...but I've survived all that in my life....and now I'm on this beautiful carnival of carnivorian bliss and I'm melting like butter 😅...and I'm loosing a pound to two pounds a day... you're my blessing God Bless You Dr.
I'm four months in with the carnivore lifestyle. I've had episodes of afib over the last two years. It's been a learning curve on all fronts and I can relate. Mindfulness with prayers, affirmations, mindset, support etc, helps puts some of it in perspective.
AGREED! Carnivore is actually cheaper. And it sooooo much more simple. From groceries to cooking to what you need to prepare the food it is just so easy. And barely any waste or food spoiling in the fridge. Great interview ❤❤
@@lefantomernot what i've found. Overall ends up much spendier in a typical 1-4 person household. Meat is very expensive now, at least west coast is here in USA
I buy organic grass fed on-line. Delivered to my door. No driving to the grocery store. I cook on the gas grill. My cupboards and fridge are nearly empty; my freezer is well stocked.
@@18_rabbit it could depend on many things, such as if you go for grass fed food. My ground beef is about $5 per lb and roughly 3 dollars for 18 eggs. so lets say i go for 1lb ground beef and at least 6 eggs per day. Thats about 41 dollars a week for me. Hits my macros. any missing macros can be filled with things like sardines (dollar store), butter. how many people are in your household if you dont mind sharing?
I think this is my favorite interview on your channel so far! I always enjoy Dr Bright. She disagrees on a few topics from many of the other carnivore experts but her explanations make perfect sense.
Anchovies are underrated and I'm glad she mentioned them. For me in the middle of the US it is easier to find anchovies packed in water than it is to find sardines.
Great interview! Your questions were terrific, eliciting lots of helpful information. She is the best - my favorite person in this space. She knows what she's talking about. It's all about keeping the hormones happy!
Thank you for interviewing Dr.Bright. She is always so knowledgeable, explains her information, and just makes total sense. And you are always a great interviewer too. You ask good questions and offer a overall well done presentation. Thank you.
Fabulous interview! Will be one year into my carnivore journey in a couple of days, I've been getting so confused with so much different info lately... Maybe I watch too much content! This interview has given me a great deal of understanding for continuing my healing and weight loss journey. Totally agree with being in tune with your body, I now know why I get (rarely anymore) irritable and can pin point it to something I most probably shouldn't have eaten the day before! 58 yr female, lost 3.5 stone in the first 4 months, no more brain fog, diabetes, IBS, migraines, stiff joints... ✊
🎯Right there w/you jroo~ which is why it's so helpful to hear from those who are actually putting into practice the science & data that forms their own experience. I think what helps me most when I'm feeling confused from taking in so much content is to remember that it's often experimental, & cannot all apply to me~yet the basics do, now that I understand how our systems function. Dr. Bright has gathered so much info over the years & has a way of keeping it simple & easy to implement~ which means I retain it, & that can be a challenge🤣Having that base of understanding also makes it easier to filter through the other content I'm taking in. 🌟Well done on so many health benefits btw~ not to mention 3.5 stone, wow! I'm also 58, eating this way almost 2 yrs, yet the scale would not budge until just recently. I have also learned I was undereating & over exercising until recently- & not by much, but it was enough to confuse my body, go figure. I've whined about the weight, but I've been so grateful for all the other benefits (energy/clarity/mood/etc) I can't imagine ever going back, even if I never lost a pound. So grateful for access to knowledge!
@RV-there-Yet I've done carnivore for almost a year and a half and haven't lost weight. I too have been undereating. What exactly are you doing to finally drop the weight?
@@cherylschumaker1366 I have hypothyroidism and Lipedema. The Lipedema makes it very difficult to lose weight. I do have many non scale victories but would love to lose 50 lbs.
I had a coworker whose doctor put her on keto, which is good, but he told her to drink a lot of water and did NOT mention increasing salt! She mentioned feeling terrible and I told her about consuming more salt, about Dr. Berry's recipe for ketorade (or whatever he called it). But she chose to drink chicken broth, and that worked for her. She said she guzzled it down lol. But when she said her doctor didn't tell her about increasing salt, I thought, "what?!" Anyway, glad I knew so I could help her.
Salt is the devil according to most docs. I told mine I have to salt my food because I dont eat processed foods already loaded in sodium and she still acoffed at the notion of salting food.
@@emh8861 that's very dangerous. People can die from drinking too much water and diluting electrolytes. We need electrolytes for our brains to function and sending signals to the heart to beat, etc.
@@StreetTruckinTitan most docs are hypocrites, as they consider essential nutrients (sodium) the devil, but write prescriptions for manmade drugs which are ALWAYS seen as poisons by the body and must be filtered by the liver. Even then, they cause numerous "side" effects.
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for this interview. I’m in Australia and I’ve had severe chronic fatigue for 14 yrs, CPTSD for 8 while healing trauma and unable to work, so I did all my healing trauma on my own. now that healing journey is over my poor body is a mess. I binge eat, and used to fast from self deprivation (not deserving nutrition) I’m sure I have major adrenal, thyroid issues +++ but I’m living below the poverty line on welfare and can never afford to see a decent doctor, nutritionist or even join your app. But all of these Q & A in this interview make so much sense and I’ve enjoyed all the videos I’ve seen so far. I’m pretty much sold on giving it a try. I couldn’t stick to Keto, I’ve tried raw vegan diet and have never been able to kick the cravings….. so I’m very grateful to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just as wonderful as the first interview you had with Dr. Bright was, this one is exceptional! I always learn something from her and from you, Rina. Thank you for this informative and fun interview. I love seeing Dr. Bright's smile and you always bring it out of her. I would love to hear more about her weight lifting protocol. I am 60 years old, and I do about 15-30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week and love it. It energizes me and also puts me in tune with my body and how it's working.
This was hands down THE best interview I have seen in a very long time! Very clear and concise - cleared up so many questions for me - I am going to watch this video again and again!!!🌻 Thank you both for all you do!
This exactly is my entire gripe with pretty much all keto/carnivore content. Especially with how difficult stuffing yourself full is when you ditch carbs. The typical advice of "just eat according to your stomach" doesn't exactly work for people who are trying to bulk up or people with a fast metabolism and less of an appetite.
Being overweight is not a natural state…it is an imbalance that needs to be brought back to a healthy range. It is often a result of poor sleep, endocrine disorders, stress, and trauma response. It is a symptom (just like whatever you’re trying to fix) obesity is just a very visible symptom, and one which comes with a lot of social judgements. If your symptoms come from some dis-regulation then changing your diet to bring you into balance is something you can do too. A free TH-cam video is not à tailored personal programme…it’s more likely to deal with more common symptoms to help the most people possible. You can either extrapolate the information to make it work for you, be grateful that obesity is not your issue, and ultimately use the information herein as a springboard, and a funnel to streamline data into an algorithm that better suits your symptom-research
I have three more days and then I will be at One year and five months NO coffee or caffeine. 513 Days NO coffee or caffeine. I loved my coffee and finally saw what it was doing to me after always drinking a lot of espresso or what I would call jet fuel. I worked in retail and restaurants where I thought I needed to be amped up. There was one day working in the mall and I also worked at Walmart. I knew I was not going to have a day off anytime soon. I went to the coffee place where they knew me. I asked for the strongest coffee and she says you just need 12 shots. I said okay and I was buzzing around for two days straight. I am so glad I ditched the coffee and it has been a game changer. I have more energy, I can sleep, and I don't wake up anymore in the morning tired or groggy. I am NO coffee or caffeine for life. Just got me some Rooibos tea to have and it was wonderful.
That is so awesome you no longer drink coffee! I heard Dr Bright say she has decaf with butter. I went and bought some too and add heavy cream with butter. It’s so nice and creamy tasting.
At home, I only drink organic decaf coffee that went through the swiss water process. It will say it on the coffee package. I add a pat of butter or some grass fed heavy cream, organic cinnamon, organic cardamom, organic ginger, organic mushroom powder, a bit of stevia, blend ina nutribullet and wow, it's so tasty. I can't even think about going to another coffee house again! On the road, I use Mount Hagen organic decaf instant coffee travel packs (Amazon). It also uses a water process to get the caffeine out. I'll bring a frother with me to blend it. Be careful from too much Rooibos tea. I read that it has estrogenic properties like soy and flax.
@@sofiamiliaressis5403 The cream is the issue... Try Real Kona 100% Coffee ☕ from Hawaii... You likely won't Miss the cream ... just add a dash of vanilla & cinnamon stick if you like chai It's soooo Wonderful! ☕ Insanely smooth ALL on it's own! Ps decaf process isn't the best with most coffees, drink better coffee ☕
Great interview, why? Because you did not interrupt your guest all of the time like some influencers do, and they were questions that we all want to know. Thank you
A great interview. My version of the keto-carnivore is different in consumption of dairy products more than red meat. High-quality butter is like ice cream for me. I can eat 100 g at once. Also, OMAD is an easy-peasy way to go. Less time for cooking, better sleep, and less stress during the day. And cheaper too. I am 66, BTW.
This was an awesome guest. The points made were exactly what I needed to hear! The questions were so good to get to helpful information. I needed to know how to heal! I did not realize there are helpful strategies during the healing phase!
I am tickled that there is a Aesop rhyme from my childhood that addresses the difference between men and women's diet; "Jack Spratt could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean, but together they could lick the plate clean." (this is translated from the olde English tongue)
You don't have to buy expensive electrolytes, though, unless you want, to as you can just salt your food more and buy individual supplements of magnesium and potassium, much cheaper.😊
Yes but do your homework on magnesium because the types make a big difference and most carnivore specialists (especially the MDs o er the coaches warrant taking yoo many supplements when you are aiming for healing on your carnivore journey because it can cause a stall more than helping.
@@karenhampton9693 i definitely agree. I use that 1-2 times per week, and only if I’m sweating a lot from gardening. I don’t supplement much and I eat carnivore “conservatively” - bc I do intermittent fasting. Basically OMAD and maybe another carnivore “snack” before I fast again. I’m adjusting well to that.
YES!!! Up until a little over 3 weeks ago, I've been consuming fresh spinach (a big handful) in my shakes every morning, snack on Almonds like there's no tomorrow, and drink black tea ( or green) leaving the tea-bag in the whole time. Come to find out, I was consuming the highest Oxalate foods on the menu for the past 4 years thinking I was doing myself a favor. I literally screwed my health over 😂. So it would be great if they cover this topic soon
@David-R. I was the same and I put 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, honey and oat milk in my "green" spinach loaded smoothie! Ate Tahini, black beans, chick peas every day. Thought the WFPB vegan diet was going to heal my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Cystitis, but all it got me was sicker and sicker with lots of new strange symptoms developing, including itchy skin all over, terrible pain in my jaw/neck, vertigo. My forward-thinking doctor suggested I try carnivore. Although I was initially very dubious, I went carnivore SLOWLY, spent 2 months slowly introducing meat once a week, then 2 weeks carnivore plus a banana oat milk smoothie for 2 weeks then full carnivore 4 months ago. Oxalate dumping was intense on day 3, peeing what felt like shards of glass, then at 3, 6 and 12 weeks I developed the most irritating itchy scabby sores on my lower scalp that when I scratched them were filled with golden crystals but that seems to be it, all my former illnesses are now gone, I'm symptom free and finally off the biologic meds that were the only thing keeping me out of the wheelchair I'd been in when RA first hit me. And, I feel and look amazing!
@@lisawanderess if you ever have oxalate dumping symptoms again, Sally K Norton offers a lot of helpful info. She said dumping can take 10 years to get all the oxalates out, when you're trying (compared to people who are not trying, the oxalates will just stay there).
@@lisawanderess That's AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. You gave me a push to continue with the carnivore diet. about a week ago I needed a cake, a piece of bread, anything!!! I felt like either I get a strawberry short cake or hang myself 😂. So I had a little piece of bread that didn't effect my ketosis!! I'm holding on so far.
@@David-R. I haven’t purchased Sally Morton’s book yet, “Toxic Superfoods” but I have watched several interviews with her. Apparently in her book she gives specific examples of foods to add to help with the oxalate dumping.
The way she spoke about ghee may have caused some unintentional confusion. When made properly - Ghee will have no proteins in it. Also, if made properly, no water/moisture. The advantage of well made ghee is that it can sit at room temperature for many years and never go rancid.
I had ghee for the first time at a very nice restaurant and I was stuck in the bathroom for 45 minutes. Worst stomach cramps and everything else. Scared of Ghee now
@@minagelina Ghee has been used for health treatments with very high good results for thousands of years. Generally for diet is usually eaten with food, not alone. When eaten alone - it's used as part of a therapeutic process. And one can have a strong reaction to it if not familiar. It is also followed by processes to remove the ghee from your system after it accomplishes it's purpose.
I literally just found your video this morning saying to eat a stick of butter and this video pops up with a title saying do this instead. I get you’re fighting TH-cam rules and the algorithm but dang it, I feel like I can’t trust people who keep doing this garbage. You’re creating a space for mass confusion. To listen or to not. That is the question…
I LOVED her ❤ So knowledgeable, cool, calm, collected and balanced. No bull*** :) I learned a lot from her just now. Thanks for bringing her on! Subscribed. Oh, and I love your questions and style. You're an excellent interviewer.
Loved this! It gave Dr. Bright a chance to clarify her understanding clearly and @5minutebody you asked great clarifying/pointed questions. Thank you!!
My favorite thing learning about this lifestyle you actually touched upon in this video. Every diet plan, every diet pill you have ever seen usually has a disclaimer to "check with your doctor before beginning any diet plan." It seems like 98% of doctors would tell me to not try this, but this seems like the most natural way of eating, healing my body and preventing the health issues people in my family are dealing with.
I definitely burnt myself out with cardio - was using a calorie counter in my heart rate monitor and couldn’t leave the gym until I had burned 1,500 cals… if I didn’t meet that number it rolled over to the next day. A few times, I spent 6hrs in multiple spin classes to achieve whatever I needed to meet the week’s requirements. And that’s how you screw up your body! Injuries, tears, massive weight gain despite excessive working out, thyroid destroyed. That was 15yrs ago now, still have issues but feel well enough to get back to weight lifting and though i still like spin, am sticking strictly to 15min sessions only a couple times a week. Thank you!
@1588chrissy same here I worked out excessively. So, If you still struggle with weight, try leaving the cardio alone all together and just go walking. I as well as many other women have spoke about their bodies were sensitive to any workouts and just needed to rest (it goes into flight or fight mode very easy and goes into hunger mode very easy) So when I stopped cardio all together, went for walks and performed light yoga and pilates my weight improved (with the elimination of dairy and I would have 1/ 2 cup of black coffee with butter only sometimes. Now I did start including intermittent fasting but not until I naturally became satisfied with 2mad or OMAD (I didnt force it if I was still hungry then I felt I still needed to heal) once I started fasting, I made sure I ate enough during my feeding window and my weight started dropping off. But before that it had other priorities and that was to heal first. I know Dr. Bright speak against women fasting especially that has hormonal imbalances but there are some doctors that are advocates for IF as long as you are eating healthy and they feel it actually aid in hormornal imbalance. So I just make sure on my days that I am fasting (36 to 48hrs), I have pieces of frozen butter throughput the day. I slowly increased my fasting window. I feel fantastic.
Food dehydrator, artisan jerky gun and grass fed hamburger 80/20%. Recipes and instructions galore on TH-cam. I've been making my own for months way before even considering carnivore - it's a huge benefit for snacks, on the go, quick fix, AND -- you control the ingredients. Can't go wrong!!!!
Getting ready on Monday to being my new journey and my new life....viva la carnivore!!! Really learned a lot from Dr. Bright in this interview. Thank you for helping and educating!!
Wow, I'm learning that fasting isn't the only way. So cool that the fat snack keeps cortisol down. I believe that's been my issue with carnivore. I kept thinking I had to go hours between meals to lose and heal.
Watermelon if It contains black seed is better for you as it is an heirloom variety. Plus vitamins and minerals besides being good in summer due to high water content.
At 52, I was also going into menopause, was also horrified by what I found online, & could also have written a book about the facts I discovered doing my own research. I did not, but if I had, it would have been nearly ver batim what Dr. Bright produced...except she's far more qualified than I, based on her academia & work experience, and so is able to articulate things in a more cohesive manner than I ever could have, imho. Mine would have looked more like a bullet point pamphlet that I'd likely be trying to force upon people from a street corner~ you know, the sort that people toss in the bin after they're clear of your sight...or even before!🤣 I highly respect her work, & do not miss an opportunity to listen to her expand on what she's learned & applied, as well as reiterating the basic principles & facts that we tend to lose sight of when some new "fad" or trend comes across our path. Appreciated this conversation, thank you both for your time & efforts. ~Sam in NV/USA
I started to eat butter on carnivore after watching Dr Bright and my weight loss stopped, I was heeding her advice on butter suporting hormone healing as I suffer from hot flushes. I ate no where near a stick of butter a day (which is a whopping 800+ calories). I don't eat added fat any more - in fact I'm trying Protein Sparing Modified Fasting and am doing much better.
Same here. I’m following Maria’s protein modified sparing fast and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I could not do that on the carnivore with the steak and butter gang. I was gaining weight I was so disgusted.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Protein or meat/chicken isn't lean. Fatty chicken thighs with the skin on - have you ever roasted a tray and seen how much fat comes off, a beef joint with the fat on, ditto pork and belly pork slices are full of fat. Lamb is fatty.
@@daofjudith I read comments from lots of people on facebook carnivore groups asking why they are no longer losing weight and some are even gaining weight. Makes me mad - the stock answers are 1) don't worry, you are healing, 2) don't use the scales but judge by how your clothes fit (my clothes fit me according to my numbers on the scales and 3) muscle weighs more than fat as if we've turned into body builders overnight. Oh, and another good one - it can take up to 3 months to break a stall. No! You ask people on starvation diets - forced or of their own making - they don't hang on to weight for any reason.
This was a great interview with Dr. Bright!! Love her take on fruit, that it's not an antinutrient. I definitely do better on fruit and as part of that, sliced tomatoes, than I do on vegetables. I don't see any inflammatory response when I have occasional fruit. Great information!!! Thank you!
Great interview! I was getting discouraged. My husband sent this to me this morning. I'll implement things from the video and we'll see! Thanks for this!
Excellent interview! Thank you both for some much-needed information. My husband has suffered for years with skin issues. We've been carnivore for over 1½ years, and his skin is much better, but occasionally, there are breakouts. He also has an adrenal problem, so it was eye-opening to hear of the connection. I just got an order of Thorne Cortrex Adrenal Support for him as he has anxiety that hasn't dissipated on carnivore. There are more items in it than I'd like, but he really needs help. I hope it's the right thing.
Love this video, I just started my journey three weeks ago. I am diabetics about 10yrs now. My body now is adjusting, lower my medication and hopefully soon I’ll get off from the harmful medication.
My husband and I have started 1-2-24. Wife 5'6" 165 lbs Thyroid issues, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, total hysterectomy Husband 6'5" 260lbs High blood pressure, skin issues, low testosterone
I ate ground beef as a staple until recently, when I ate a 1 lb top sirloin steak instead. I noticed NO cravings with the steak, and totally satisfied. So does make me wonder about ground beef. I appreciate the tidbit you mentioned about the process in making it.
Its about chewing! If you cook say a lamb curry the meat is falling apart, I eat much more than if I put some lamb on the griddle for 5 mins - its tasty but you have to chew this releases saliva into the gut with satiating hormone's!
@@merrymerry7583 Not really as I make Lamb kebabs & burgers cooked on a griddle for around 5 mins & these satisfy, its the long stewing of meat making tough cuts juicy & edible! They are therefore less effort to eat & therefore the signals don't get to your guts...
The cortisol management issue is key with me. Last week when we had to put our family dog down my weight went up almost 5 pounds. So far this week, it has started to drop again.
Wow! Just happened to come across this. What an informative conversation! I’ve just started dipping my ties into Carnivore since having been diagnosed again (1980’s) with Ankylosing spondylitis in Nov. This was so interesting. I’ve been Keto but now trying to understand and wrap my head around Carnivore. If my friends saw me eat calves liver with butter they’d lose their minds. Lol Lots learned. Lots more to learn. Not heard of Dr Bright before but truly impressed with her responses and information. Need more of her! 💪👍
I seem to have issues with cream & milk, but not ghee since the milk proteins are removed. I make my own ghee. It is so delicious! It’s a good alternative to butter to get the needed fat.
Have you ever tried A2 milk? A1 milk is the one that causes problems for most people, and is "regular" milk commonly found in stores. But A2 cow milk (because sheep and goat milk is naturally always A2) is now readily available in stores. Has a big "A2" on the carton lol. Just another option if you didn't know about it.
“Violence is a blood sugar issue.” That’s what I’m gonna tell Japanese people (I reside in Japan ) when they ask me why there are so many shootings in the USA
Thank you so much for this interview. You ask the most pertinant questions... And I just love your shocked expressions to the answers! I really appreciate your content and breaking it down for us... For the carnivore newbie or the carnivore that needs steering. Thank you
Same! I was eating sticks of Kerrygold unsalted butter. My sisters said I was getting chubby. So I stopped the butter and up my intake of tallow and duck fat. A few days ago, my sisters complimented on how much weight I loss.
Full-fat cream doesn't seem to be talked about. Is eating full-fat cream as good as eating butter? Thank you for this informative interview with Dr Bright.
I have no idea but since Dr Bright drinks decaffeinated coffee with butter I’ve started pouring in cream for good measure. It tastes so much nicer with cream in it.
Why does every Carnivore video on TH-cam have to turn into a commercial for LMNT? It's getting so annoying! I tried it and it is WAY too low in Magnesium. I still had to take an additional Magnesium capsule.
I found this video so helpful and it actually gave succinct but detailed enough answers to questions about diet and health. I agree with many others, the title does not do this video justice and could lead to many people losing out on very useful help. I have learnt so much from Dr Bright in this video which I would have missed if I based my viewing on title alone. It was only because I'd seen another interview with her that I watched it.
There should be a way to have a device like a CGM that checks cortisol instead of blood sugar. It would help remind you to try to calm down, or to adjust your schedule so that you can lower the stress levels.
My macros are very similar of "fat / protein." Once in awhile, I'll have some veggies that will add up to 4-10% carbs as well with the fat / protein ratio being 60/30.
Brilliant interview ! Hats off to all of us who traversed adolescence on the SAD ! Also I watched a video on Farmed Salmon and will never eat it again.
exelente informacion y lo mejor es que lo pude ver con subtitulos en espanol. Me gustaria que todos los influencers de esta alimentacion carnivora pensaran en la comunidad hispana.
Stress. That's why you have to give time to heal. Most who stay doing meat, butter eggs, stress levels come down, weight begins to shift. I consume 200-300g butter per day + egg yolks + whatever fat that comes with the meat. 4 weeks i put 5kg on, week 7 i weighed in 1kg heavier from when I started, and now slowly and steadily loosing weight. Activity per week mon-Fri 25k around steps, sat/sun 30-35k steps. Butter works for me to maintain 3000cal + per day just from fat. 😂 I'm relaxed, stress levels are at a minimum, awesome brain clarity.

Yes, people have to do it for however long it takes to let the body know "we have adequate and the right form of nutrition coming in, you can relax and heal". I think Kelly Hogan had an experience with that.
@@w1975b yep, totally agree, and eliminate anything that causes your digestion to hold water or slow digestion down. Clean should be whatever someone has to eliminate to relax the stressed out digestive track, and the hyper agitated defense system can chill out. There is so many things going on when the digestive track has irritation and inflammation. You know you are on track when farts go from smelly to Odorless, to none, and number 2s are soft and easy. That in itself is a BIG breakthrough, let alone maximization of macro and micro nutrient uptake releaving the body of starvation stress, to chillaxness that you have never known before. 😎
@@veniqer Well I know myself, and that's good enough for me. Look up bile production if you like, you will see that there is a limit to how much bile can be produced on a given day. As to carbs, all carbs that can be digested and absorbed, gets absorbed, there is no limit. If I eat under that amount, I start craving carbs.
Grass fed butter works very well for me. Wild caught Sardines are a staple in my diet. She is obviously talking to a portion of the population - not all.

Four teaspoons Of butter and I started out I did 8 tsp but I only need 4 tsp if I'm stressed can't sleep then I do butter. Only then
I mean I will 4 tsp usually and then if I'm stressed I will up it. I started out with eight teaspoons a butter but I only up the better when i'm stressed like I doctor bright said

Great video. Terrible terrible title for this video. My first read based on the title.. was actually to avoid this video. I understand butter like many other good fats can be incredibly healthful. I understand you want to call out "trick" therapies or over simplified ways of looking at things, but this title does not convey the real message that your guest and I presume you wanted to convey. This video is really about how to achieve a healthy endocrine system and that is through a high fat diet, and one of a number of very very healthful fats is Tallow, Butter, Cocunut.. etc. etc. Like so many youtubers there is some desire to create sensationalized video titles. Please make your titles more informative less sensational.
I agree and almost didn’t click on it to watch it.
And yet m I clicked on it for exactly the title name .. I’m looking for alternatives to butter
She’s a nutty host
totally agree with the non informative title. put me off watching for a while 😮
Agree
I'm doing great since I added butter to my carnivore diet. Felt awful after three months of carnivore last year. Went back to it a month ago. Feeling so much better since adding butter in my coffee and steak. I've been way moire satiated. Not getting hungry, and am dropping weight. Adding more fat was a game changer for me.
exactly
Me too. Butter really helped me.
How much butter do you eat a day? I have started Carnivore & am eating a lot of meat fat
@@LifeIsWonderful675 Lol. I've retooled my diet AGAIN. started eating some veggies (low oxylate type,) because my constipation and bowel issues were terrible with a carnivore diet. About a month ago I Gave up coffee and started eating Whole yogurt. All the inflammation in my feet went away and my knees are Waaaay better!. I eat fat with my meat and some butter with various vegetables, but I'm not eating an extra amount. I had a lot of problems with I think was oxylate dumping. At this point it's hard to tell what is helping me. Was it giving up coffee or adding yogurt? Hard to tell. I don't miss the Coffee. Guess it was just a 43 year habit. I don't think there is a one size fits all diet.
butter is fantastic in coffee!
Grounding , walking bare foot just for 15 mins is amazing for cortisol levels and adrenals and healing the whole body! Alongside carnivore!
Wondering if you've used a grounding mat? Considering one for the times I can't be barefoot, outside. Living in CT limits my year round opportunity,.
I sleep on a grounding bed sheet.
I think you are right about that.

Cannibalism is never easy.
I have a panic attack every time I even think about going to prepare a meal... Best diet ever!
Nobel prize Wimmer on both sides calling the others idiots. When I looked into keto 5 years ago I noticed that. You have to try everything on yourself and f ind what works for you
Just pick one. Do a 90-day. Look at the results. It’s always about where you are v where you began the journey.
Pretty simple. Species appropriate diet. How did we eat for millions of years. Everything that came after agriculture and particularly the modern food system is a corporate fiction marketing scam.
With today's society trying to distort and even erase gender, it is oddly refreshing to hear these ladies talking about men and women in the impacts of gender with the carnivore diet. Yes I know strange comment for this video but it's nice to hear some common sense for once
@@Shawn, amen!! People have gone mad today.
Amen . As a teacher they often tell me to nowadays not to
say “ good girl “ or “ good boy “
I do it more now !!! 😂😂
I don't think anyone is trying to erase gender per se, I think society is just making room for people who don't directly identify with one gender, or who identify more with the other gender. This obviously isn't the majority of people so I don't see why it's a problem to make some space for unique individuals.
It just makes me wonder how much the gender dysphoria has to do with poisons in the environment and bad nutrition since it’s obviously a mental health and more directly, an endocrine nightmare out there given the degree of malnutrition at least two generations have suffered from.
@@jenniek8391 It's a problem that people are taught that gender and personality or preferences are the same. Gender is primarily another word for biological sex, not how one looks or feels. Boys and girls have always come with a variety of personalities and talents, and that is fine. It is a problem to try to shame and/or force all of society to change in a way that causes so much unnecessary confusion and discord for the sake of individuals who need less confusion and discord, themselves.
Lack of funds and being broke after working 50 hours a week doesn't help. Not knowing if you will have place to live. Those things keep cortisol high too.

Straight to the point ! ❤🎉
Even better if you increase playback speed.
When my daughter was a pre-teen and now teen, she has often craved or gone through phases of intensely eating certain foods like salmon with the skin, steak/beef with all the fat, butter, liver, etc. Thankfully, we already include those foods in our normal diet so she had full access to them when she wanted more.
Please help your daughter to stay on the right track like she is doing now!! I didn't have this info when I went through my teens.Became obesive and struggle for yrs, because of lack of knowledge.Good luck on her health journey!!
We are born and our first food is breast milk!!!
And when we try vegetables we feel great discomfort, if we don't add seasonings there's no way we can eat them.
When we eat meat our body accepts it very naturally.
Dr.Bright....i have a heart condition...thank you for giving me medically sound advice concerning cardio...I have atrial fibrillation.. and tachycardia...I had the tetralogy of fallot surgery at 7 yrs old in 1977....just really want to thank you .... I could go on and on about my hell life..and deaths...I knew That's why I gained weight...could write a book so I'm told ...but I've survived all that in my life....and now I'm on this beautiful carnival of carnivorian bliss and I'm melting like butter 😅...and I'm loosing a pound to two pounds a day... you're my blessing God Bless You Dr.
See Dr berg, DR Suneel Dhand.
God bless you❤
How are you doing it?
I'm four months in with the carnivore lifestyle. I've had episodes of afib over the last two years. It's been a learning curve on all fronts and I can relate. Mindfulness with prayers, affirmations, mindset, support etc, helps puts some of it in perspective.
I also have tachycardia (SVT). Does following carnivore stop, or minimize the amount of times you go into AFib or tachycardia?
AGREED! Carnivore is actually cheaper. And it sooooo much more simple. From groceries to cooking to what you need to prepare the food it is just so easy. And barely any waste or food spoiling in the fridge. Great interview ❤❤
Yes, so much easier to shop, saves time also especially if doing g OMAD.
👍
@@robertwood9984 We're not buying all that other junk, so of course it's not more expensive.
@@lefantomernot what i've found. Overall ends up much spendier in a typical 1-4 person household. Meat is very expensive now, at least west coast is here in USA
I buy organic grass fed on-line. Delivered to my door. No driving to the grocery store. I cook on the gas grill. My cupboards and fridge are nearly empty; my freezer is well stocked.
@@18_rabbit it could depend on many things, such as if you go for grass fed food. My ground beef is about $5 per lb and roughly 3 dollars for 18 eggs. so lets say i go for 1lb ground beef and at least 6 eggs per day. Thats about 41 dollars a week for me. Hits my macros. any missing macros can be filled with things like sardines (dollar store), butter. how many people are in your household if you dont mind sharing?
She is one smart lady! Nautropaths are often much better educated and in tune with the hormone requirements for women.
I think this is my favorite interview on your channel so far! I always enjoy Dr Bright. She disagrees on a few topics from many of the other carnivore experts but her explanations make perfect sense.
yeah I respect that a lot as well. I like confident opinionated experts
Anchovies are underrated and I'm glad she mentioned them. For me in the middle of the US it is easier to find anchovies packed in water than it is to find sardines.
Sardines should be where the canned tuna and Salmon are in good grocery stores!
You are a great interviewer. Organized. You are in control of your show. I don’t feel as if I’m wasting my time. Thank you.
I was so impressed by the preparation for this interview! You covered so many important things here. Thank you!
She's better than 99% of interviewers in US TV news!
Very well conducted interview!
She's very dialed in, without being snobbish! 👏🏾
Great interview! Your questions were terrific, eliciting lots of helpful information. She is the best - my favorite person in this space. She knows what she's talking about. It's all about keeping the hormones happy!
I started carnivore eating yesterday, and am excited. Thank you for your help.
Thank you for interviewing Dr.Bright. She is always so knowledgeable, explains her information, and just makes total sense. And you are always a great interviewer too. You ask good questions and offer a overall well done presentation. Thank you.
Dr. Bright is so no-nonsense. I love that! I think I have gotten too hung up on IF, OMAD, etc and done myself a disservice.
Fabulous interview! Will be one year into my carnivore journey in a couple of days, I've been getting so confused with so much different info lately... Maybe I watch too much content! This interview has given me a great deal of understanding for continuing my healing and weight loss journey. Totally agree with being in tune with your body, I now know why I get (rarely anymore) irritable and can pin point it to something I most probably shouldn't have eaten the day before! 58 yr female, lost 3.5 stone in the first 4 months, no more brain fog, diabetes, IBS, migraines, stiff joints... ✊
🎯Right there w/you jroo~ which is why it's so helpful to hear from those who are actually putting into practice the science & data that forms their own experience.
I think what helps me most when I'm feeling confused from taking in so much content is to remember that it's often experimental, & cannot all apply to me~yet the basics do, now that I understand how our systems function. Dr. Bright has gathered so much info over the years & has a way of keeping it simple & easy to implement~ which means I retain it, & that can be a challenge🤣Having that base of understanding also makes it easier to filter through the other content I'm taking in.
🌟Well done on so many health benefits btw~ not to mention 3.5 stone, wow! I'm also 58, eating this way almost 2 yrs, yet the scale would not budge until just recently. I have also learned I was undereating & over exercising until recently- & not by much, but it was enough to confuse my body, go figure. I've whined about the weight, but I've been so grateful for all the other benefits (energy/clarity/mood/etc) I can't imagine ever going back, even if I never lost a pound. So grateful for access to knowledge!
Congratulations!!! Ima finishing my first year as well!!! All good news.
@RV-there-Yet I've done carnivore for almost a year and a half and haven't lost weight. I too have been undereating. What exactly are you doing to finally drop the weight?
@@MEF7you have gone a year andhaf ad haven't lost weight ...You need to look into why? Unless you don't need to lose ??
@@cherylschumaker1366 I have hypothyroidism and Lipedema. The Lipedema makes it very difficult to lose weight. I do have many non scale victories but would love to lose 50 lbs.
I had a coworker whose doctor put her on keto, which is good, but he told her to drink a lot of water and did NOT mention increasing salt! She mentioned feeling terrible and I told her about consuming more salt, about Dr. Berry's recipe for ketorade (or whatever he called it). But she chose to drink chicken broth, and that worked for her. She said she guzzled it down lol. But when she said her doctor didn't tell her about increasing salt, I thought, "what?!" Anyway, glad I knew so I could help her.
My coworker said her Doc also said drink lots of water. No mention of electrolytes. 🙄
Salt is the devil according to most docs. I told mine I have to salt my food because I dont eat processed foods already loaded in sodium and she still acoffed at the notion of salting food.
@@emh8861 that's very dangerous. People can die from drinking too much water and diluting electrolytes. We need electrolytes for our brains to function and sending signals to the heart to beat, etc.
@@StreetTruckinTitan most docs are hypocrites, as they consider essential nutrients (sodium) the devil, but write prescriptions for manmade drugs which are ALWAYS seen as poisons by the body and must be filtered by the liver. Even then, they cause numerous "side" effects.
Can I drink beef tallow on carnivore?
I can't eat the fats. So I make a tallow and drink like 300 ml every day. Is that okay?
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for this interview.
I’m in Australia and I’ve had severe chronic fatigue for 14 yrs, CPTSD for 8 while healing trauma and unable to work, so I did all my healing trauma on my own. now that healing journey is over my poor body is a mess. I binge eat, and used to fast from self deprivation (not deserving nutrition) I’m sure I have major adrenal, thyroid issues +++ but I’m living below the poverty line on welfare and can never afford to see a decent doctor, nutritionist or even join your app.
But all of these Q & A in this interview make so much sense and I’ve enjoyed all the videos I’ve seen so far. I’m pretty much sold on giving it a try.
I couldn’t stick to Keto, I’ve tried raw vegan diet and have never been able to kick the cravings….. so I’m very grateful to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Stay with it... M👍
Yup. I was a 10 mile a day runner drowning in cortisol. I’ve never heard someone else say that. But boy do I get it.
I too was a long distance runner. What makes you say as a daily 10 miler you were drowning in cortisol?
Dr Bright is one of my favorites. I love her attitude.
Just as wonderful as the first interview you had with Dr. Bright was, this one is exceptional! I always learn something from her and from you, Rina. Thank you for this informative and fun interview. I love seeing Dr. Bright's smile and you always bring it out of her. I would love to hear more about her weight lifting protocol. I am 60 years old, and I do about 15-30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week and love it. It energizes me and also puts me in tune with my body and how it's working.
This was hands down THE best interview I have seen in a very long time! Very clear and concise - cleared up so many questions for me - I am going to watch this video again and again!!!🌻 Thank you both for all you do!
Why are 95% of carnivore posts about losing weight? Once the weight is gone, there’s still diet concerns. Not everyone is overweight.
This exactly is my entire gripe with pretty much all keto/carnivore content. Especially with how difficult stuffing yourself full is when you ditch carbs. The typical advice of "just eat according to your stomach" doesn't exactly work for people who are trying to bulk up or people with a fast metabolism and less of an appetite.
Being overweight is not a natural state…it is an imbalance that needs to be brought back to a healthy range. It is often a result of poor sleep, endocrine disorders, stress, and trauma response. It is a symptom (just like whatever you’re trying to fix) obesity is just a very visible symptom, and one which comes with a lot of social judgements. If your symptoms come from some dis-regulation then changing your diet to bring you into balance is something you can do too. A free TH-cam video is not à tailored personal programme…it’s more likely to deal with more common symptoms to help the most people possible. You can either extrapolate the information to make it work for you, be grateful that obesity is not your issue, and ultimately use the information herein as a springboard, and a funnel to streamline data into an algorithm that better suits your symptom-research
So don't watch the ones that talk about weight loss.
And they’re talking about using Carnivore to heal in this video not just weight loss
Perhaps because there's an obesity epidemic in this country.
23/3/23-23/3/24…. My first year anniversary doing the carnivore lifestyle today🎉🎉🎉
I have three more days and then I will be at One year and five months NO coffee or caffeine. 513 Days NO coffee or caffeine. I loved my coffee and finally saw what it was doing to me after always drinking a lot of espresso or what I would call jet fuel. I worked in retail and restaurants where I thought I needed to be amped up. There was one day working in the mall and I also worked at Walmart. I knew I was not going to have a day off anytime soon. I went to the coffee place where they knew me. I asked for the strongest coffee and she says you just need 12 shots. I said okay and I was buzzing around for two days straight. I am so glad I ditched the coffee and it has been a game changer. I have more energy, I can sleep, and I don't wake up anymore in the morning tired or groggy. I am NO coffee or caffeine for life. Just got me some Rooibos tea to have and it was wonderful.
Rooibos lowered my iron levels. Dr Berry says not to drink any tea or coffee an hour before or after eating meat. Pholyphenols absorb the iron
That is so awesome you no longer drink coffee! I heard Dr Bright say she has decaf with butter. I went and bought some too and add heavy cream with butter. It’s so nice and creamy tasting.
At home, I only drink organic decaf coffee that went through the swiss water process. It will say it on the coffee package. I add a pat of butter or some grass fed heavy cream, organic cinnamon, organic cardamom, organic ginger, organic mushroom powder, a bit of stevia, blend ina nutribullet and wow, it's so tasty. I can't even think about going to another coffee house again! On the road, I use Mount Hagen organic decaf instant coffee travel packs (Amazon). It also uses a water process to get the caffeine out. I'll bring a frother with me to blend it.
Be careful from too much Rooibos tea. I read that it has estrogenic properties like soy and flax.
Dargeeling is fab tea that's Soooo smooth you won't need sugar or sweeteners.

The cream is the issue... Try Real Kona 100% Coffee ☕ from Hawaii... You likely won't Miss the cream ... just add a dash of vanilla & cinnamon stick if you like chai It's soooo Wonderful! ☕ Insanely smooth ALL on it's own!
Ps decaf process isn't the best with most coffees, drink better coffee ☕
Great interview, why? Because you did not interrupt your guest all of the time like some influencers do, and they were questions that we all want to know. Thank you
I found Dr. Brights comments about hair dyes and skin creams so interesting. It's something I would never have considered.
Paddle boarding boosts my cortisol because I’m always wondering if a shark is lining me up for a snack.
Worrying isn’t going to prevent that, ya know? 😂 Besides, there are worse ways to go after all. Hope that helps!
Please stay on land and leave the joy of paddleboarding to us adventurers.
A great interview. My version of the keto-carnivore is different in consumption of dairy products more than red meat. High-quality butter is like ice cream for me. I can eat 100 g at once. Also, OMAD is an easy-peasy way to go. Less time for cooking, better sleep, and less stress during the day. And cheaper too. I am 66, BTW.
This was an awesome guest. The points made were exactly what I needed to hear! The questions were so good to get to helpful information. I needed to know how to heal! I did not realize there are helpful strategies during the healing phase!
I am tickled that there is a Aesop rhyme from my childhood that addresses the difference between men and women's diet; "Jack Spratt could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean, but together they could lick the plate clean." (this is translated from the olde English tongue)
Except that's not a good diet for him...
Dr. Bright is always interesting & informative. Thank you for having her on!😊
I loved this interview. Dr. Bright is just an amazing guest and I enjoy every interview with her because she just has so much knowledge to share.
I always pay attention when Dr Bright is speaking. This was really good. Thanks to both of you.
Great content! Thank you! I'm just past 60 days carnivore. Struggling at times with fatigue, especially after eating.
Try drinking some electrolytes and or increase your salt intake.
I like to use LMNT packets - no sugar and sweetened with stevia. I learned about this from other carnivores 😊
You don't have to buy expensive electrolytes, though, unless you want, to as you can just salt your food more and buy individual supplements of magnesium and potassium, much cheaper.😊
Yes but do your homework on magnesium because the types make a big difference and most carnivore specialists (especially the MDs o er the coaches warrant taking yoo many supplements when you are aiming for healing on your carnivore journey because it can cause a stall more than helping.
@@karenhampton9693 i definitely agree. I use that 1-2 times per week, and only if I’m sweating a lot from gardening. I don’t supplement much and I eat carnivore “conservatively” - bc I do intermittent fasting. Basically OMAD and maybe another carnivore “snack” before I fast again. I’m adjusting well to that.
I would love to hear Dr. Bright’s thoughts on oxalate dumping and which symptoms she’s seen associated with it!
YES!!! Up until a little over 3 weeks ago, I've been consuming fresh spinach (a big handful) in my shakes every morning, snack on Almonds like there's no tomorrow, and drink black tea ( or green) leaving the tea-bag in the whole time. Come to find out, I was consuming the highest Oxalate foods on the menu for the past 4 years thinking I was doing myself a favor. I literally screwed my health over 😂. So it would be great if they cover this topic soon
@David-R. I was the same and I put 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, honey and oat milk in my "green" spinach loaded smoothie! Ate Tahini, black beans, chick peas every day. Thought the WFPB vegan diet was going to heal my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Cystitis, but all it got me was sicker and sicker with lots of new strange symptoms developing, including itchy skin all over, terrible pain in my jaw/neck, vertigo. My forward-thinking doctor suggested I try carnivore. Although I was initially very dubious, I went carnivore SLOWLY, spent 2 months slowly introducing meat once a week, then 2 weeks carnivore plus a banana oat milk smoothie for 2 weeks then full carnivore 4 months ago. Oxalate dumping was intense on day 3, peeing what felt like shards of glass, then at 3, 6 and 12 weeks I developed the most irritating itchy scabby sores on my lower scalp that when I scratched them were filled with golden crystals but that seems to be it, all my former illnesses are now gone, I'm symptom free and finally off the biologic meds that were the only thing keeping me out of the wheelchair I'd been in when RA first hit me. And, I feel and look amazing!
@@lisawanderess if you ever have oxalate dumping symptoms again, Sally K Norton offers a lot of helpful info. She said dumping can take 10 years to get all the oxalates out, when you're trying (compared to people who are not trying, the oxalates will just stay there).
@@lisawanderess That's AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. You gave me a push to continue with the carnivore diet. about a week ago I needed a cake, a piece of bread, anything!!! I felt like either I get a strawberry short cake or hang myself 😂. So I had a little piece of bread that didn't effect my ketosis!! I'm holding on so far.
@@David-R. I haven’t purchased Sally Morton’s book yet, “Toxic Superfoods” but I have watched several interviews with her. Apparently in her book she gives specific examples of foods to add to help with the oxalate dumping.
The way she spoke about ghee may have caused some unintentional confusion.
When made properly - Ghee will have no proteins in it. Also, if made properly, no water/moisture.
The advantage of well made ghee is that it can sit at room temperature for many years and never go rancid.
I had ghee for the first time at a very nice restaurant and I was stuck in the bathroom for 45 minutes. Worst stomach cramps and everything else. Scared of Ghee now
@@Shazita1-qe9ix I highly doubt it was the ghee.
I tried to eat some in order to up my fat for the day. Ummmm, it's not a thing I'll eat by the spoon ever again lol😅
High fat and gallbladder problems will make you painfully sick! I went thru it.
@@minagelina Ghee has been used for health treatments with very high good results for thousands of years.
Generally for diet is usually eaten with food, not alone.
When eaten alone - it's used as part of a therapeutic process. And one can have a strong reaction to it if not familiar. It is also followed by processes to remove the ghee from your system after it accomplishes it's purpose.
I literally just found your video this morning saying to eat a stick of butter and this video pops up with a title saying do this instead. I get you’re fighting TH-cam rules and the algorithm but dang it, I feel like I can’t trust people who keep doing this garbage. You’re creating a space for mass confusion. To listen or to not. That is the question…
I would love you to do a video explaining the different ratios & what they mean. Im totally confused about how to figure it out. 😀

Oh, and I love your questions and style. You're an excellent interviewer.
Loved this! It gave Dr. Bright a chance to clarify her understanding clearly and @5minutebody you asked great clarifying/pointed questions. Thank you!!
One of the best interviews on carnivore I have ever seen! Joining your July challenge now, thank you🙏🏼
I am starting Carnivore Diet. It seemed so simple, so straight forward. This video pulled the rug out from under these concepts.
My favorite thing learning about this lifestyle you actually touched upon in this video. Every diet plan, every diet pill you have ever seen usually has a disclaimer to "check with your doctor before beginning any diet plan." It seems like 98% of doctors would tell me to not try this, but this seems like the most natural way of eating, healing my body and preventing the health issues people in my family are dealing with.
Rina.... another homerun. You do the best interviews. Thank you again!!!!
I definitely burnt myself out with cardio - was using a calorie counter in my heart rate monitor and couldn’t leave the gym until I had burned 1,500 cals… if I didn’t meet that number it rolled over to the next day. A few times, I spent 6hrs in multiple spin classes to achieve whatever I needed to meet the week’s requirements. And that’s how you screw up your body! Injuries, tears, massive weight gain despite excessive working out, thyroid destroyed. That was 15yrs ago now, still have issues but feel well enough to get back to weight lifting and though i still like spin, am sticking strictly to 15min sessions only a couple times a week. Thank you!
@1588chrissy same here I worked out excessively. So, If you still struggle with weight, try leaving the cardio alone all together and just go walking. I as well as many other women have spoke about their bodies were sensitive to any workouts and just needed to rest (it goes into flight or fight mode very easy and goes into hunger mode very easy)
So when I stopped cardio all together, went for walks and performed light yoga and pilates my weight improved (with the elimination of dairy and I would have 1/ 2 cup of black coffee with butter only sometimes.
Now I did start including intermittent fasting but not until I naturally became satisfied with 2mad or OMAD (I didnt force it if I was still hungry then I felt I still needed to heal) once I started fasting, I made sure I ate enough during my feeding window and my weight started dropping off. But before that it had other priorities and that was to heal first. I know Dr. Bright speak against women fasting especially that has hormonal imbalances but there are some doctors that are advocates for IF as long as you are eating healthy and they feel it actually aid in hormornal imbalance. So I just make sure on my days that I am fasting (36 to 48hrs), I have pieces of frozen butter throughput the day. I slowly increased my fasting window. I feel fantastic.
Oh my gosh I so relate this this
I hope you are healing well 🙌

Food dehydrator, artisan jerky gun and grass fed hamburger 80/20%. Recipes and instructions galore on TH-cam. I've been making my own for months way before even considering carnivore - it's a huge benefit for snacks, on the go, quick fix, AND -- you control the ingredients. Can't go wrong!!!!

@@laureemoretto212how do I become a client
Getting ready on Monday to being my new journey and my new life....viva la carnivore!!! Really learned a lot from Dr. Bright in this interview. Thank you for helping and educating!!
Wow, I'm learning that fasting isn't the only way. So cool that the fat snack keeps cortisol down. I believe that's been my issue with carnivore. I kept thinking I had to go hours between meals to lose and heal.
I can't help but have watermelon sometimes as a treat. I try to limit it but I still love my watermelon.
Nothing wrong with that! The keto/carnivore police is too much sometimes!
Enjoy your watermelon! I also treat myself to fruit once or twice a week.
Watermelon if It contains black seed is better for you as it is an heirloom variety. Plus vitamins and minerals besides being good in summer due to high water content.
At 52, I was also going into menopause, was also horrified by what I found online, & could also have written a book about the facts I discovered doing my own research. I did not, but if I had, it would have been nearly ver batim what Dr. Bright produced...except she's far more qualified than I, based on her academia & work experience, and so is able to articulate things in a more cohesive manner than I ever could have, imho. Mine would have looked more like a bullet point pamphlet that I'd likely be trying to force upon people from a street corner~ you know, the sort that people toss in the bin after they're clear of your sight...or even before!🤣
I highly respect her work, & do not miss an opportunity to listen to her expand on what she's learned & applied, as well as reiterating the basic principles & facts that we tend to lose sight of when some new "fad" or trend comes across our path. Appreciated this conversation, thank you both for your time & efforts. ~Sam in NV/USA
I started to eat butter on carnivore after watching Dr Bright and my weight loss stopped, I was heeding her advice on butter suporting hormone healing as I suffer from hot flushes. I ate no where near a stick of butter a day (which is a whopping 800+ calories). I don't eat added fat any more - in fact I'm trying Protein Sparing Modified Fasting and am doing much better.
Same here. I’m following Maria’s protein modified sparing fast and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I could not do that on the carnivore with the steak and butter gang. I was gaining weight I was so disgusted.
But
Lean protein
Blech
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Protein or meat/chicken isn't lean. Fatty chicken thighs with the skin on - have you ever roasted a tray and seen how much fat comes off, a beef joint with the fat on, ditto pork and belly pork slices are full of fat. Lamb is fatty.
@@daofjudith I read comments from lots of people on facebook carnivore groups asking why they are no longer losing weight and some are even gaining weight. Makes me mad - the stock answers are 1) don't worry, you are healing, 2) don't use the scales but judge by how your clothes fit (my clothes fit me according to my numbers on the scales and 3) muscle weighs more than fat as if we've turned into body builders overnight. Oh, and another good one - it can take up to 3 months to break a stall. No! You ask people on starvation diets - forced or of their own making - they don't hang on to weight for any reason.
Sounds like your priorities are all messed up. You want quick weight lost over healing your body first and optimizing your health.
I love the idea of soothing music at bedtime and then being able to switch to parasympathetic state during the day 😊
Such pleasant, informative presentation. Both of you so cool, calm, collected and obviously happily enjoying your work. Super!
This was a great interview with Dr. Bright!! Love her take on fruit, that it's not an antinutrient. I definitely do better on fruit and as part of that, sliced tomatoes, than I do on vegetables. I don't see any inflammatory response when I have occasional fruit. Great information!!! Thank you!
@@lorik.8368Not anymore. Your no longer carnivore and that's just a fact.
@@lorik.8368 so now you’re an omnivore, which is fine, but you’re NOT a carnivore.
@@lorik.8368 lol they’re FULL OF SALICYLATE!! What for?
@@lorik.8368no you’re not carnivore at all.
@@Astronurdexactly
Wow! I loved this interview and learnt so much as a new carnivore. You’re both brilliant ❤
Great interview! I was getting discouraged. My husband sent this to me this morning. I'll implement things from the video and we'll see! Thanks for this!
Excellent interview! Thank you both for some much-needed information. My husband has suffered for years with skin issues. We've been carnivore for over 1½ years, and his skin is much better, but occasionally, there are breakouts. He also has an adrenal problem, so it was eye-opening to hear of the connection. I just got an order of Thorne Cortrex Adrenal Support for him as he has anxiety that hasn't dissipated on carnivore. There are more items in it than I'd like, but he really needs help. I hope it's the right thing.
I would highly recommend looking into High Dose Vitamin B1 (EONutrition has an extensive collection of info, also Dr Osborn, Dr Berg)…
How did the supplement work? I am using that same one.
Rina, what a fantastic interview! This is one of the best I have ever seen…and I’ve watched many. I will watch this again!
Great interview! Love the fact that you’re always smiling Rina….it’s infectious ❤
Love this video, I just started my journey three weeks ago. I am diabetics about 10yrs now. My body now is adjusting, lower my medication and hopefully soon I’ll get off from the harmful medication.
My husband and I have started 1-2-24.
Wife 5'6" 165 lbs
Thyroid issues, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, total hysterectomy
Husband
6'5" 260lbs
High blood pressure, skin issues, low testosterone
I ate ground beef as a staple until recently, when I ate a 1 lb top sirloin steak instead. I noticed NO cravings with the steak, and totally satisfied. So does make me wonder about ground beef. I appreciate the tidbit you mentioned about the process in making it.
Its about chewing! If you cook say a lamb curry the meat is falling apart, I eat much more than if I put some lamb on the griddle for 5 mins - its tasty but you have to chew this releases saliva into the gut with satiating hormone's!
@@Asduyr are you saying that what she said about the grinding process itself isn't the reason?
@@merrymerry7583 Not really as I make Lamb kebabs & burgers cooked on a griddle for around 5 mins & these satisfy, its the long stewing of meat making tough cuts juicy & edible! They are therefore less effort to eat & therefore the signals don't get to your guts...
This was a great conversation! Thank you Dr. Bright!
This was so helpful and informative. Been keto/carn for about 2 months and have lost 27 lbs but have hit a wall. Thank you this helps so much
Get off the keto stuff.
This was an excellent interview with Dr. Bright! So helpful and concise. ❤
The cortisol management issue is key with me. Last week when we had to put our family dog down my weight went up almost 5 pounds. So far this week, it has started to drop again.
I’m sorry for your loss. 😢
Yes, so sorry for your loss.
im so sorry hope you are ok and healing
LOVED THIS INTERVIEW SO MUCH!
I absolutely LOVE your Shirt "Eat Meat not Wheat"!
Wow! Just happened to come across this. What an informative conversation! I’ve just started dipping my ties into Carnivore since having been diagnosed again (1980’s) with Ankylosing spondylitis in Nov. This was so interesting. I’ve been Keto but now trying to understand and wrap my head around Carnivore. If my friends saw me eat calves liver with butter they’d lose their minds. Lol Lots learned. Lots more to learn. Not heard of Dr Bright before but truly impressed with her responses and information. Need more of her! 💪👍
I seem to have issues with cream & milk, but not ghee since the milk proteins are removed. I make my own ghee. It is so delicious! It’s a good alternative to butter to get the needed fat.
Oh wow I need to find a good ghee 😊
@@ThePrimal.PodcastVERY simple to make from butter…
Have you ever tried A2 milk? A1 milk is the one that causes problems for most people, and is "regular" milk commonly found in stores. But A2 cow milk (because sheep and goat milk is naturally always A2) is now readily available in stores. Has a big "A2" on the carton lol. Just another option if you didn't know about it.
I can't consume dairy. I just started making my own ghee and, it's just a pleasant alternative to butter.
“Violence is a blood sugar issue.”
That’s what I’m gonna tell Japanese people (I reside in Japan ) when they ask me why there are so many shootings in the USA
Thank you so much for this interview. You ask the most pertinant questions... And I just love your shocked expressions to the answers! I really appreciate your content and breaking it down for us... For the carnivore newbie or the carnivore that needs steering. Thank you
Off the butter because I gained weight…. And I was only eating a couple tablespoons a day. 7 days no butter and 6 pounds gone❤
What kind of butter were you eating? Grass fed?
@@joestockton7016 some grass fed some not….
CICO
Same! I was eating sticks of Kerrygold unsalted butter. My sisters said I was getting chubby. So I stopped the butter and up my intake of tallow and duck fat. A few days ago, my sisters complimented on how much weight I loss.
@@lorik.8368 How do you use the tallow?
@5MinuteBody thank you - fascinating interview! 👏🏻 was there a reason why eggs 🍳 🥚 were not included in the list of foods?
Great and informative interview. DR.Bright is so with it
Full-fat cream doesn't seem to be talked about. Is eating full-fat cream as good as eating butter? Thank you for this informative interview with Dr Bright.
I have no idea but since Dr Bright drinks decaffeinated coffee with butter I’ve started pouring in cream for good measure. It tastes so much nicer with cream in it.
I make butter from double cream. Just needs whipping until the solids separate from the buttermilk. So the same thing I would say
Never ate a stick of butter a day. I did add more butter or ghee but a whole stick is way too much.
Why does every Carnivore video on TH-cam have to turn into a commercial for LMNT? It's getting so annoying! I tried it and it is WAY too low in Magnesium. I still had to take an additional Magnesium capsule.
HOW ABOUT YOU ALL COMING BACK AND ANSWER OUT QUESTIONS !!!!!!!?????
I found this video so helpful and it actually gave succinct but detailed enough answers to questions about diet and health. I agree with many others, the title does not do this video justice and could lead to many people losing out on very useful help. I have learnt so much from Dr Bright in this video which I would have missed if I based my viewing on title alone. It was only because I'd seen another interview with her that I watched it.
There should be a way to have a device like a CGM that checks cortisol instead of blood sugar. It would help remind you to try to calm down, or to adjust your schedule so that you can lower the stress levels.
That is so true! You should invent it. I would definitely buy it
Thank you Rina for posting this interesting interview with Dr. Bright. I have learned so much. ❤
My macros are very similar of "fat / protein." Once in awhile, I'll have some veggies that will add up to 4-10% carbs as well with the fat / protein ratio being 60/30.
Brilliant interview ! Hats off to all of us who traversed adolescence on the SAD ! Also I watched a video on Farmed Salmon and will never eat it again.
exelente informacion y lo mejor es que lo pude ver con subtitulos en espanol. Me gustaria que todos los influencers de esta alimentacion carnivora pensaran en la comunidad hispana.
Excellent interview with very helpful, informative content. Enjoyed it thoroughly and will apply a LOT to my carnivore lifestyle.
Best most informative video I’ve seen to date! Thank you so much ❤
Stress. That's why you have to give time to heal. Most who stay doing meat, butter eggs, stress levels come down, weight begins to shift. I consume 200-300g butter per day + egg yolks + whatever fat that comes with the meat. 4 weeks i put 5kg on, week 7 i weighed in 1kg heavier from when I started, and now slowly and steadily loosing weight. Activity per week mon-Fri 25k around steps, sat/sun 30-35k steps. Butter works for me to maintain 3000cal + per day just from fat. 😂 I'm relaxed, stress levels are at a minimum, awesome brain clarity. Protein I eat on any given day: mince, Wagyu mince, steak, pork, chicken, eggs/runny egg yolks, seafood: NZ green lip mussels, oysters, sea urchants (kina) , king prawns, Salmon, HM emulsified Coffee/butter. Others: Pāua, Krill oil, cod liver+OIL, Canned sardines in water, mackerel in water, fish roe. All foods are easily found here in NZ from local supermarkets and fishmarket. No Dairy at this point (milk, cheese, yoghurt, kefir, sour cream etc) maintain slow weight lose. My blood pressure is sensitive to weight changes, so I need to take it slow.
Hi, I'm in NZ also. My worry is the prices! It's all so costly. I'm hoping to find someone who hunts/homekill.
Yes, people have to do it for however long it takes to let the body know "we have adequate and the right form of nutrition coming in, you can relax and heal". I think Kelly Hogan had an experience with that.
@@w1975b yep, totally agree, and eliminate anything that causes your digestion to hold water or slow digestion down. Clean should be whatever someone has to eliminate to relax the stressed out digestive track, and the hyper agitated defense system can chill out. There is so many things going on when the digestive track has irritation and inflammation. You know you are on track when farts go from smelly to Odorless, to none, and number 2s are soft and easy. That in itself is a BIG breakthrough, let alone maximization of macro and micro nutrient uptake releaving the body of starvation stress, to chillaxness that you have never known before. 😎
It's only giants or people who run a marathon every day who can get away with eating that much fat.
@@veniqer Well I know myself, and that's good enough for me. Look up bile production if you like, you will see that there is a limit to how much bile can be produced on a given day. As to carbs, all carbs that can be digested and absorbed, gets absorbed, there is no limit. If I eat under that amount, I start craving carbs.
I eat butter grass fed I am slim haven’t gain weight at all.
Can coconut oil be good for high fat? Or not, because it’s not an animal product? Same with flaxseed oil?
Grass fed butter works very well for me. Wild caught Sardines are a staple in my diet. She is obviously talking to a portion of the population - not all. Your gut microbiome will be the greatest factor in what foods seem to digest well and which do not. The human body and the conditions are incredibly nuanced in my 60+ years of experience. Find out what works for you.
Same here. Thank you.
Love Dr.Bright! Thank you so much!
