While I was learning and considering carnivore, I longingly read so many comments like these, and now, after 8 months on carnivore I have the experiential cred to add my voice. I am 68, and was sure I would have to replace two knees and a hip in the coming decade. Now, I have not a twinge of joint pain. I had diverticulitis 3 times, terrible IBS, and a hiatel hernia. My gut was always hurting, along with bloating. No pain whatsoever now, after 15 years of suffering. I had no energy, and depression. My moods are now positive, and I have been so busy clearing out stuff from my house, and can go all day with more than enough energy. Plus the little matter of a 45 lb weight loss!! 😊
So awesome!!! I was reading your reply to my husband to encourage him about one of his knees hurting him.. he’s also 68 years old and I’m 66. So that was very encouraging to us so thank you very much for sharing all of this! We appreciate you!!! And he’s been on carnivore almost 8 weeks and I’ve been on carnivore about 94 days so we’re looking forward to even more good health reports and improvements!!!
I was born with damaged eyes. During the years Ive lost more of my sight . 6yrs ago I started keto, by the end of the year my macular degeneration healed and now that Im carnivore my eyesight has been improving.
Another bunch of videos you might like would be Professor Bart Kay, he also was diagnosed with , I think, macular degeneration and was told he would be blind in 5 years (15-20 years ago, lol.)
@@julienfroidevaux1143to me it comes across as though he was told off a lot and belittled as a child and is dealing with that by now doing it to others. I find his energy very strange. Some of the things he has to say can be interesting, but I find him difficult to watch Having said that, I haven't seen a lot of his videos, maybe I just watched the ones where he was angry at someone
Been on meat only diet for 4 days now..... eating steak, eggs, and bacon. 1. My psoriasis is GONE!! 2. No back pain at all! 3. My stomach is tight AF, I can see my abbs! 4. Brain fog gone! 5. I have more energy than I've ever had! This stuff is real people! Just try it! Don't knock it till you try it!
Without a doubt it has healed me. After being a severe type two diabetes with an A1C of 9.7 I began the carnivore diet and intermittent fasting. Within four months my A1C dropped to 5.4 and I’m no longer on any medication!!!! I have lost 50 pounds so far and I’m am out walking and strength training at the gym!!
I’m so happy to hear your testimonial 🙌🏼. I am 5 weeks in with starting Keto and now carnivore. Just had labs and my a1c said I’m pre diabetic and I was concerned. My cholesterol has been high my whole life so I’m not worried bout that cause Dr. Chaffee clarified that myth for me. So how does the A1C go down and how long does it take?
@@laurengianna9944 it took 4 months for mine to get to a steady level. Intermittent fasting coupled with carnivore was the powerhouse duo. It will absolutely do the same for you as long as you stay with it and stay consistent. I don’t have “cheat” days. I don’t give myself “reward”. My reward is my victory over sickness. My contentment is my peace of mind knowing I’m finally winning. I see in the mirror my progress. I feel it in the baggieness of my clothes. Food is fuel. Nothing more. I eat what is needed and get back to my life. It’s so liberating not having or wanting to worry about my next “epically” awesome meal. I promise this works. It doesn’t happen overnight. But it will happen. Baby steps. Stay focused. 100% get educated. Watching tons of carnivore and intermittent fasting videos have made a huge impact on my outlook. You’re going to do great.
@@laurengianna9944 I was also pre-diabetic in my late 40's. By the time I hit 60, everything spiraled. I had terrible foot pain (hot, prickling, and painful heels; could hardly get my shoes on). My eyesight was getting worse, and had anxiety attacks 15" after eating. Migraines, Fibromyalgia, heart palpitations and fatigue were the order of the day. I have no idea why the Dr never ordered another blood test during that decade, so I have to assume my numbers only went up. I had Gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant with my 4th child in my early 40's, and that doctor warned me that I had a 75% chance of becoming diabetic 20 years down the road. So I can only guess he was correct. Anyway, to answer your question I'm guessing it's not a quick fix but it will come down. My A1C dropped into the normal range (5.4-5.6) and has stayed there for the past two years. I was doing keto/ketovore for at least 9 months before that blood test. It may have already gone down months before that, but the dr didn't do the test until then. All the symptoms I had disappeared one-by-one as each month passed. I decided to go Carnivore two years ago and I will never return to the SAD diet. I'm a totally different person and feel better now than I did in my 20's! So hang in there and give your body the time it needs to heal. It will reward you for not poisoning it with junk.
It takes a solid 6 months to adjust to any new extreme diet. Not sure how long the woman in the first question has been on carnivore, but our hormones don’t balance out overnight (I wish!) healing our gut and bodies takes time. I wouldn’t give up on it before at least 6 months strict carnivore. Patience is hard for me too, so I get it. This is a long game, but it’s worth it 💖
@@MacfromwalesI’m doing great after only 4 months though… so, that’s not my personal experience. I ate mostly vegetarian for 3 decades, so you would think I couldn’t turn my autoimmune issues around so quickly but it has been a dramatic shift! I anticipate by 6 months I’ll be fully healed. I am strict carnivore though.. no cheating.
@@ArthurShelby-PB personal experience it would seem but that's a long time. It took less than a fortnight for me. If your wondering reader I had very runny poops for a bit as my body dumped the fat out because it didn't know what to do with it but only for a few days. Then a few days of being cold cos my body couldn't get warm at first with a slight runny nose as it switched over but nothing near a cold or flu. Then one day I woke up and BLAM! No more aching after the gym for example or I felt massively positive all the time or my body fat shot down completely effortlessly to 7.6% and stayed there with zero effort (the same as Brad Pitt in fight club it's great beyond words and takes zero work)or..actually ill be here all day the list of benefits is endless. If you gave me the choice now between a million but I had to forget about eating like this I honestly would say "Keep the money". The op was strict no cheating vegan for three decades for it to take months like that it's not the norm reader don't get disheartened. It's usually a matter of mere weeks or it was for me and if you are younger or can be days. But saying that it took just three days for the cognitive benefits. My thoughts switched over from"happening to me " to me manifesting them myself within about 48 hours it's incredible it really is. Try it guys. You're welcome
I have reversed inflammation in my joints and sinuses, no longer lactose intolerant also my teeth are not so sensitive anymore. Loving it .. conivore is the way
I’m 77 years old and I’ve had graves disease,Heart valve replacement, asthma, reflux and depression. I’m carnivore and feel the best I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I’m at my perfect weight. I sleeping 7 hours at night When eating the standard American diet I had craving all the time and never felt satisfied
The Lyme disease case study resonated with me. I was bedbound for many years with ME/CFS - similar symptoms but different cause. Carnivore has changed my life.

I'm having Carnivore diet only for 3 days (after a week on Keto) I have no more chest pain on 2nd das, no more anti-acid tablet before go to bed and wake up 2 hours early without muscle pain & headache. Really impressed.
Dr.Chaffee is always excellent to listen to. I originally started this PHD to loose menopause weight gain. Then I discovered all these other areas in my health that just started to improve also. Have been 95% carnivore (still coffee, still a wine and a few small bites of chocolate daily….yes--addictions), but I feel GREAT otherwise. Normal labs. I am the body weight I was 25 years ago without “dieting”. I could go on and on. The main reason I comment is the keep the you tube algorithm up for carnivore and for Chaffee.
I had to eat more fat like cold butter or fat from ribeyes but not where stools are too loose..Fat helps my energy and gives me good moods ., I’m 94 days into carnivore and I’m 66 and I think my body has just began to get used to processing the fat.. 🎉❤🎉❤
I am uping the fat too. Beginning to like it. Cold butter is soothing after dinner instead of sweets, I have a black coffee and a piece of butter, a little in the coffee but some just cold like chocolate.
How much fat are we talking about? I’m easing into carnivore and idk how much fat is enough. Like ground beef is 80/20 not high enough? How much butter per day? I fry beef fat and makes it crispy and eat the crispy fat. I use the rendered fat for cooking my eggs. Some days I’m really energetic and some days not so.
@@CL-im9lk Just ease into it. If you make it too hard it won’t be sustainable. I we t keto first then slowly carnivore but I am still not quite there. I still have coffee still have the odd dill cucumber but bit by bit I am cutting things out. I found having a black coffee after dinner with a few cubes of cold butter really tastes like chocolate and I feel terrific. Sometimes it’s best to add something like butter before you remove the pesky lingerers like berries after dinner. They were not terrible but wow when I cut them out I felt on top of the world. 🇦🇺
@@CL-im9lk I also eat 80/20 hamburger or and a small ribeye and 2-3 slices bacon and I make 4-5 scrambled eggs with 1-1 1/2 tbsp butter .. at first I didn’t add butter or eat extra fat off the ribeye or the fat from my hamburger and I had less energy but lost more weight.. then I added eating cold butter about 1-2tbsp a day but got too loose of stools .. I added eating some fat from hamburger but that was too much for me if I ate fat of ribeye..Then I tried browning the fat from my ribeyes and eating most of that and that works better for me and I get too loose of stool’s if I eat too much of it! So it’s kind of an experiment for everyone to find out what works best for them..
That is so wonderful that you are going to be doing the trial!!🎉🎉 I am so proud of you getting this out there and of your professor being willing to do this! That's just amazing! You are the right man for the job!
It works! Just give it 30 days and see how you feel. I have a degree in nutrition/ dietetics and everything I learned 28 years ago in college was all the way wrong. Started with a whole food, meat heavy ketogenic diet on Dec 22, 2022. Moved to carnivore and it has been life changing. It has been a miracle for me and so many others. Trying it for 30 days will change your opinion of carnivore. The body keeps the score and it will tell you quickly which diet works best for you. You will be shocked at how your body and mind respond to the carnivore way of eating. Blessings all!
Thank you Dr. Chaffee. It's thanks to you I tried the carnivore diet and 40 days in I have reversed so many life affecting conditions. I'm now going to the gym 4 times a week something I have not been able to do for 15 years... I'm 36 and I really feel like I'm 20 again.
Hey Doc, for these question answer videos, could you post the question up on screen as you answer, you don't have to chapter even. Not all questions are relevant to us all. Dr. Berry had this kind of format. There is so much good stuff but I struggle to keep up. Especially you top tier carnivores! The newbs can still listen to it all, but us 18 month + Carnivore have heard alot of it, but you still deliver those nuggets of wisdom I would like to skip to. Thanks!!
Amazing Dr Chafee ! I missed out helping my mother with severe stroke when I got given this amazing healing carnivore diet particularly the video from the guy helping the elderly in his resthome more like I didn’t action it she has since died 8 years post stroke I believe it was the medication that slowly killed her! ! Now I am healing myself 8 months after learning about it ! Morbidly obese losing weight in the gym mental health is off the charts after years of depression amd anxiety my period is back regularly afte twenty years I have been doing carnivore still working towards strict but now everything I eat bad gives me horrible symptoms so thankfully crap food makes me feel crap so It is easier and more enjoyable to eat meat I crave it thank you for all you and the carnivore family do ! Much love 💗 God bless 🙏🔥🙌🏽✝️💯
Back when I started in august, I've had a period where my mood plummeted and my mood was rather sorrowful. It seems to me being in connection with shugar withdrawal, and with lack of fat. So if one day you find yourself unmotivated to get up from bed, it might be just that: sugar depletion. Therefore, my advice: if you are transitioning to carnivore from a diet that had some shugar in it, and you are crashing down in withdrawal, keep just a tiny bit of shugar for start. Like, 1 teaspoon for a cup of tea in the morning, if you still drink tea.
True. I was having terrible muscle fatigue… So i add a bit of oat milk (no sugars version!) to my coffee in the morning and it works wonders. Oat milk is a bad drink because of plant oil but… i am transitioning… nothing is perfect and for now it seems to be working to me
My hair fell out after the first 4-9 months of eating carnivore and losing ,at that point, over 50 lbs. Just as it stopped she'd ding and started to grow back, I had a total knee replacement and 3 months later my hair began to fall out again. So I’ve concluded that shock to the system can cause hair to go into that resting, non-growth phase which normally lasts an average of 3 months before shedding then new hair growth cycle happens. It sucks but really does get better.
It is thrilling for many, we all appreciate all your hard work. I had a tiny tear in the ? Dura Mater. It was minuscule and didn’t show up on ct scan so everyone thought I was imagining the agonising pain. Apparently my brain was beginning to “cone” Thank you for all your hard work. 🇦🇺
@@Janescheekychickens a neurosurgeon put two and two together at 2am it suddenly hit him. He was right all I had to do was lay flat for about eight days. It healed and I was out of pain that eighth day.
Hello doctor, first of all I would like to thank you for everything you do for people. I am a carnivore, I have lost 10 kg for almost 3 months now and I feel better than ever before. I would like to know your opinion on the topic of CTE and how the carnivore diet would affect healing since it is also a type of dementia. Since you played Ruhby professionally, have you ever had any experience with concussions? Thanks for everything, keep up the great work. greetings from Germany
Still baby stepping towards carnivore. I guess I'm keto with low carb now. Sitting here watching while holding back cravings for a root beer float and pizza
Here's what I suggest : check out the entire digestion system and diet. Check what comes out of the process - urine, faeces . Check out organs that support digestion. If this doesn't supply answers THEN look for other causes to explain symptoms. I.e the opposite of what doctors do today. Like a car - check the fuel tank, the fuel , the fuel line before you take the motor apart.
My mold exposure symptoms are better since going carnivore! Also, judy cho "Nutrition with judy" is the carnivore expert with mold sensitivity. The mold illness is called CIRS chronic inflammatory response syndrome. Live this question! But yes i did also need treatment for CIRS, jill crista and dr shoemaker protocols
I feel like crap due to oxalate dumping. It is tricky to manage. I wonder if the first lady who switched from Keto, had been eating a lot of oxalate containing foods before she went Carnivore. I thought I ate healthy home cooked foods. It turns out I was an oxalate junkie!
I thought I was the only one who was “scared” to stretch at night lol. I would stretch while asleep and wake up to unbearable pain. It felt like the muscle was going to rip off the bone. Then a Charlie horse for the next few days. Water (hydration), magnesium, and salt greatly helped. I just had to be careful when I would sweat a lot, like on a hike in the summer, that I would intake more water and electrolytes.
Dr Chaffee, I’m convinced carnivore is my future. All lipid stats dropped crazy in last 11 months…down to 185 from 260. Recently been dealing with what I think is oxalate dumping; bumps/itchiness on my neck, arms, and legs. PCP says maybe eczema but sending me to dermatologist. If it’s oxalate dumping, how long would someone typically have to deal with it?
I exp. Hair loss, nail changes, increased eczema, bone & muscle pain w c0v id. Had to take niacinamide, ate pistaschios (for B6), B1 in ttfd form, & all B supplement w extra lypo C to overcome some while trying to eat carnivore which is helping significantly all the pain. Alot of pain in hips & lo back, myalgia in front thighs. All getting better. Eatting alot of ribeyes, eggs n bacon, beef fat the butcher cuts for me. I’m 77. No longer prediabetic either. Been on advair for asthma or other since in my 20’s after mercury poisoning Post dental work.
The best test for kidney function, is not egfr and creatinine its cystatin C....much more sensitive and doesnt rely on muscle mass. Many carnivore dieters have a low egfr score, which normally is indicative of kidney problems, but it's a falsehood unless you had it before going carnivore.
Hi Anthony, I have a French male friend who has been eating carnivore for the past 6 months, after he and I discovered your videos. He is worried about his kidneys, for 2 reasons: - because his urine is quite foamy, which is apparently due to an excess of proteins - he has dark circles under his eyes, which is apparently due to dysfunctional kidneys Could you please shed some light on these 2 symptoms? He eats meat cooked in butter, with some salt, and drinks a lot of water.
Just to comment on the first question answered, I noticed the same thing upon starting. After a short while I noticed 'WHAT' type of meat I ate made a very BIG difference in how satisfied (happy/good) I felt afterwards. I started with steak and hamburger... those two types of meat did not nearly give me the same fine feeling of satisfaction 'cozy full' as when I switched to flat iron steak and chuck roast (hopefully, I have translated these correctly. In dutch they are called Sukade and Riblap) After making this, add a good amout of butter on top. This meal will leave you feeling very satisfied! (emotionally as well!)
I had kidney pain as well, when I first switched to keto about 3 months ago (I’m prolly 99% carnivore now). It happened only at night and when I would lay on my back. There was about a 2 week span of time where my kidneys just *ached* at night. I’d wake up from the discomfort and have to roll onto my side. My husband looked into it for me and apparently some ppl (I think it’s rare) do experience some kidney pain when going keto. I’m not sure why? But it sure did happen to ME. I’ve had a lot of UTIs over my life so I’m acutely aware of where my kidneys are located, and the pain was very distinct. But I just kept on, the pain never got any worse, eventually it got less and less and went away entirely. Keep drinking water and having electrolytes. Well, specifically salt. That’s what I did. ♥️
1 thing i believe people are doing is COLD turkey jumping in the deep end of the carnivore life style change. I started out lowering my carb addiction increasing my HIGH quality fats with C8 oil an avocados. over the period of 3 months. Then went to fasting 16/8 2 weeks 2 weeks off. I then pushed deeper into lowering my carbs to a low as i want. I still love sweet potatos, so i eat those with meat alot. I have lost a lot of tummy fat, an I do hope that my next blood work show my organ fat is gone.
??I had heart attack last year at 69. Lost my sister same day of cancer. I’ve been on carnivore 7 weeks feeling great. I had a stent and dr took me off of brelenta last month. I would love to get off statins and heart meds will that ever be possible?
I'm sorry for your loss. No wonder your heart is broken. Statins won't help you, they can harm you, and high cholesterol is not a problem despite what most doctors say. I'm 67 and avoid doctors...unless it's Dr. Chaffee or similar. I wish you the best.
Hi Anthony, I have been suffering all the symptoms of Polymyalgia Rheumatica for around five week now, My blood tests came back and my doctor said he didn’t think it was PMR. Do you think the carnivore diet would help, I am 69 years old and would really appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance…
If you're doing Keto or Carnivore.. and you do Intermittent Fasting.. Be sure to drink your Electrolytes. (But don't over drink.. that leads to other issues). Also.. going to Keto/Carnivore, some people get whats called the Keto FIu.. after the first few weeks.. that goes away.
People need to learn that the 3-4 meal a day stuff is new. 200k years ago, you'd be lucky to find food each day. You can't answer a new age question without first pointing out what we actually are evolved to do.
Mold & Carnivore: I found out I was sensitive to mold years ago and took the VCS test, got on Cholestiramine and healed sort of, because at that time Shoemaker was not recommending Carnivore. (The rest of my family just get allergies to mold, I get CIRS) We recently had a roof leak and I tested positive and had symptoms of CIRS again. I found Nutrition with Judy (Carnivore) This time I have gone Carnivore and even with the Cholestiramine, I have gotten better faster, and even wonder if I stay on Carnivore, if I can avoid the worst and catch mold issues sooner. The Cholsetiramine or Welchol (lowers cholseterol) is pretty easy to get if your LDL is highish since most Dr.s want you to lower cholsterol and eating plenty of fat makes it much easier, and it is only for a few months...although the Dr. will want you on it forever...you still get to decide to get a refill or not.
I’m a 74 year old diabetic. In my life, I choose to live with my own decisions, often against my doctor’s advice. I have been doing carnivore for a month. My morning glucose is usually 200. I stopped the Metformin and glypacide immediately. As long as I’ve been off the meds for the month should I just be patient or should I go back on the meds?
Do we have to use grass fed, wild caught, free range or can we use meat from the regular supermarket. Can we get diabetes from eating the grain fed meat
They have spent years telling us that meat causes cancer and , bean, veg are healthy. 😂 i had a bad gut eating carbs. I wish i knew about the carnivore... it would have help my mum as she had gut issues. Main stream Dr's are still pushing the same old diet. 😢
Yeah it's a shame that there was so much bad information out there, and outright lies from powerful special interests. However the truth is coming out and more and more people and their doctors are seeing the truth for what it is. I hear more and more about people going carnivore and their doctors being happy for them and thinking that's a good idea, or even doctors recommending a carnivore diet to them. Certainly not the majority, but it is happening and hopefully will continue to happen more and more as we go until people finally regain their health back.
I know what I am posting is not enough for a diagnosis but here goes A patient ( a friend’s family member) has finally been transferred to the hospital that can do a 72 hour EEG. She's not responding to anti-seizure meds so today's doctor's opinion is that these are psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (or PNES... we giggled on that one). Basically, stress-related onset. Can this diet help with seizures
Hi Dr. Chaffee! My husband was recently diagnosed with LPR (Silent Refux) and we are beyond over this condition. He has eliminated all the so call triggers such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, carbonated beverages, and all acidic and spicy foods but he is still experiencing inflammation and dry throat. He's lost a good amount of weight in a short period time because he barely eats due to the stress of this condition. So my question to you and to anyone who has experienced this, do you think or know if the carnivore diet would be beneficial in his quest to be healed?
I think l've finally hit a struggle with carnivore. I've been doing it religiously for 4 months and ended up in the ER with afib. I eat nothing but red meat and I know that doc is going to tell me to lay off red meat. The problem is I don't have any definitive evidence other than Shawn and Anthony and a few other TH-camrs saying it's good for you. Does anyone have any good resources I can read that are unbiased?
I started carnivore like 6 days ago , meat , eggs, some time cheese and cream, heavy cream with some Frozen raspberry inside but just one in a while but its been 2 days that when i eat my meat i like like if you eat to much chocolate and than i don't finish it and don't eat anymore. Its wierd no??
Dr. Chaffee, I am carnivore for 3 months. Everything is fine but I am 62 and prior to carnivore I had no wrinkles, and 3 months later I look like an old prune 😂😂😂 Why am I aging so fait ? Thank you !
LOL, i notice the loose skin under my chin, I do not like it. my hands are wrinkly and my belly. But I am happy I lost some belly fat which is more important to my health. but I am 63 years old. only 2 month into carnivore and i do not have a lot of weight to lose, that is why i do not want to lose more weight. i don't know what to do either. :)
I had that problem until I quit dairy. Around her period is when she first noticed it. Dairy has hormones. Im not saiying its bad a lot of people can have it but it may be hormone related
Because of Dr. C. I started carnivore on 11/2. I feel great but have not really lost any weight. Could the heavy cream in my coffee be the cause, I also eat some cheese with my eggs in the am.
No It just takes time Liver has to heal and insulin level needs to lower to lose weight 3-6 months should do it Don’t give up Same thing happened to me
@Anthony Chaffee MD I got my bloodwork back and it said my hematocrit was high. I'm a 60 year old woman and it is 46.2. I haven't talked to my doctor yet. Is this anything i need to worry about. What I've read is to lower it eat less red meat and fat. I do strict carnivore.
@@above49th69 bingo. Instead of every single cell running on 30% atp (energy) they run at 100% you are correct. And it uses less NAD too friend with one NAD being used with a ketone to two NAD being needed for sugar
Thank you I feel better about it. I haven't talked with the doctor yet but I wanted to be informed before I went in. Donating blood is a great idea too.
Could the loss of hair and nails be because of the bad proteins that a veggie diet create? Like a purge of the bad proteins? Dr. Barry did a video on that...
I've noticed my nails are breaking & feel like I am losing alot of hair. I am eating plenty of fat... can't figure out what's going on. I have malroation of the intestines & I know I don't get all my nutrients so not sure what to do...
Hi Doc, You have helped me before re: carnivore with Crohn's disease, my crp levels have gone down but I still cant seem to give up sugar, I know you say eating protein satiates you and you shouldn't crave sweets but I have tried and googled everything under the sun. Reaching out in case you have something else up your sleeve lol
You aren't even in ketosis then I'm sorry to say. You have to cold turkey off it like the drug it is otherwise you are just paying for an uncomfortable runny poop because your body doesn't know what to do with the fat friend
When you say eat more fat but I hear you say all you eat is red meat and water, what is enough fat? I eat 2 ribeyes a day. Is that enough fat? Where else would I get fat from?
.?? I'm a type 1 diabetic going carnivore a week, was keto 8 yrs prior. On a pump and having a hard time staying on target. A lot of highs then lows from correcting. Having bolus issues? 3 meals per day
A week!? You've experienced a lot of highs and lows from slipping up and correcting in a week?? Come along now friend. You're not in ketosis, you're only lying to yourself. Try it, it's our biologically appropriate diet but you have to cold turkey off sugar treating it like the drug it is or there is literally no point because you just waste your money paying for a runny poop because your body will just dump the fat straight out as its on the sugar/glycogen paradigm
While I was learning and considering carnivore, I longingly read so many comments like these, and now, after 8 months on carnivore I have the experiential cred to add my voice. I am 68, and was sure I would have to replace two knees and a hip in the coming decade. Now, I have not a twinge of joint pain. I had diverticulitis 3 times, terrible IBS, and a hiatel hernia. My gut was always hurting, along with bloating. No pain whatsoever now, after 15 years of suffering. I had no energy, and depression. My moods are now positive, and I have been so busy clearing out stuff from my house, and can go all day with more than enough energy. Plus the little matter of a 45 lb weight loss!! 😊
Fantastic
🇦🇺
So happy for you!!! 🎉🎉
So awesome!!! I was reading your reply to my husband to encourage him about one of his knees hurting him.. he’s also 68 years old and I’m 66. So that was very encouraging to us so thank you very much for sharing all of this! We appreciate you!!! And he’s been on carnivore almost 8 weeks and I’ve been on carnivore about 94 days so we’re looking forward to even more good health reports and improvements!!!
Amazing 👍
Very fine example. Thank you for sharing and good on you!
I was born with damaged eyes. During the years Ive lost more of my sight .
6yrs ago I started keto, by the end of the year my macular degeneration healed and now that Im carnivore my eyesight has been improving.
Another bunch of videos you might like would be Professor Bart Kay, he also was diagnosed with , I think, macular degeneration and was told he would be blind in 5 years (15-20 years ago, lol.)
I am so incredibly happy for you!! Your testimony brings so much hope! Eye issues are amongst the scariest 😢
@@julienfroidevaux1143who are you talking about ?
@@julienfroidevaux1143I’m not a fan of Bart Kay either, but he is neurodivergent which would help explain his behaviour.
@@julienfroidevaux1143to me it comes across as though he was told off a lot and belittled as a child and is dealing with that by now doing it to others. I find his energy very strange.
Some of the things he has to say can be interesting, but I find him difficult to watch
Having said that, I haven't seen a lot of his videos, maybe I just watched the ones where he was angry at someone
Been on meat only diet for 4 days now..... eating steak, eggs, and bacon.
1. My psoriasis is GONE!!
2. No back pain at all!
3. My stomach is tight AF, I can see my abbs!
4. Brain fog gone!
5. I have more energy than I've ever had!
This stuff is real people! Just try it! Don't knock it till you try it!
my hair thinned when I was trying to lose weight on plants based, calories restriction diet. now on carnivore, i see my hair is growing back!
@@julienfroidevaux1143eat at least 2000 calories and your good
Absolutely the Carnivore way of eating is the way to go. Meat is the most nutrient dense food that exists on Earth
Without a doubt it has healed me. After being a severe type two diabetes with an A1C of 9.7 I began the carnivore diet and intermittent fasting. Within four months my A1C dropped to 5.4 and I’m no longer on any medication!!!! I have lost 50 pounds so far and I’m am out walking and strength training at the gym!!
Woot woot!!! ❤
Well done! It's becoming a very common story in many video comments sections.
I’m so happy to hear your testimonial 🙌🏼. I am 5 weeks in with starting Keto and now carnivore. Just had labs and my a1c said I’m pre diabetic and I was concerned. My cholesterol has been high my whole life so I’m not worried bout that cause Dr. Chaffee clarified that myth for me. So how does the A1C go down and how long does it take?
@@laurengianna9944 it took 4 months for mine to get to a steady level. Intermittent fasting coupled with carnivore was the powerhouse duo. It will absolutely do the same for you as long as you stay with it and stay consistent. I don’t have “cheat” days. I don’t give myself “reward”. My reward is my victory over sickness. My contentment is my peace of mind knowing I’m finally winning. I see in the mirror my progress. I feel it in the baggieness of my clothes. Food is fuel. Nothing more. I eat what is needed and get back to my life. It’s so liberating not having or wanting to worry about my next “epically” awesome meal. I promise this works. It doesn’t happen overnight. But it will happen. Baby steps. Stay focused. 100% get educated. Watching tons of carnivore and intermittent fasting videos have made a huge impact on my outlook. You’re going to do great.
@@laurengianna9944 I was also pre-diabetic in my late 40's. By the time I hit 60, everything spiraled. I had terrible foot pain (hot, prickling, and painful heels; could hardly get my shoes on). My eyesight was getting worse, and had anxiety attacks 15" after eating. Migraines, Fibromyalgia, heart palpitations and fatigue were the order of the day. I have no idea why the Dr never ordered another blood test during that decade, so I have to assume my numbers only went up. I had Gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant with my 4th child in my early 40's, and that doctor warned me that I had a 75% chance of becoming diabetic 20 years down the road. So I can only guess he was correct.
Anyway, to answer your question I'm guessing it's not a quick fix but it will come down. My A1C dropped into the normal range (5.4-5.6) and has stayed there for the past two years. I was doing keto/ketovore for at least 9 months before that blood test. It may have already gone down months before that, but the dr didn't do the test until then. All the symptoms I had disappeared one-by-one as each month passed. I decided to go Carnivore two years ago and I will never return to the SAD diet. I'm a totally different person and feel better now than I did in my 20's!
So hang in there and give your body the time it needs to heal. It will reward you for not poisoning it with junk.
It takes a solid 6 months to adjust to any new extreme diet. Not sure how long the woman in the first question has been on carnivore, but our hormones don’t balance out overnight (I wish!) healing our gut and bodies takes time. I wouldn’t give up on it before at least 6 months strict carnivore. Patience is hard for me too, so I get it. This is a long game, but it’s worth it 💖
The time it takes to adjust is directly proportional to the amount of time you have not been in ketosis and have been eating incorrectly.
@@MacfromwalesI’m doing great after only 4 months though… so, that’s not my personal experience. I ate mostly vegetarian for 3 decades, so you would think I couldn’t turn my autoimmune issues around so quickly but it has been a dramatic shift! I anticipate by 6 months I’ll be fully healed. I am strict carnivore though.. no cheating.
Where did you pull 6 months from?! Random figure
@@DayOneLifeCoaching good for you ❤️
@@ArthurShelby-PB personal experience it would seem but that's a long time. It took less than a fortnight for me. If your wondering reader I had very runny poops for a bit as my body dumped the fat out because it didn't know what to do with it but only for a few days. Then a few days of being cold cos my body couldn't get warm at first with a slight runny nose as it switched over but nothing near a cold or flu. Then one day I woke up and BLAM! No more aching after the gym for example or I felt massively positive all the time or my body fat shot down completely effortlessly to 7.6% and stayed there with zero effort (the same as Brad Pitt in fight club it's great beyond words and takes zero work)or..actually ill be here all day the list of benefits is endless. If you gave me the choice now between a million but I had to forget about eating like this I honestly would say "Keep the money". The op was strict no cheating vegan for three decades for it to take months like that it's not the norm reader don't get disheartened. It's usually a matter of mere weeks or it was for me and if you are younger or can be days. But saying that it took just three days for the cognitive benefits. My thoughts switched over from"happening to me " to me manifesting them myself within about 48 hours it's incredible it really is. Try it guys. You're welcome
I have reversed inflammation in my joints and sinuses, no longer lactose intolerant also my teeth are not so sensitive anymore. Loving it .. conivore is the way
Your the first person I’ve seen bring up teeth. It’s one thing that I’ve really noticed after 10 months.

I sleeping 7 hours at night When eating the standard American diet I had craving all the time and never felt satisfied
Asthma gone?
Yes but there’s another reason maybe. I only eat from 7 till 3pm and only drink water the rest of the time
The Lyme disease case study resonated with me. I was bedbound for many years with ME/CFS - similar symptoms but different cause. Carnivore has changed my life.

I'm having Carnivore diet only for 3 days (after a week on Keto) I have no more chest pain on 2nd das, no more anti-acid tablet before go to bed and wake up 2 hours early without muscle pain & headache. Really impressed.
Dr.Chaffee is always excellent to listen to. I originally started this PHD to loose menopause weight gain. Then I discovered all these other areas in my health that just started to improve also. Have been 95% carnivore (still coffee, still a wine and a few small bites of chocolate daily….yes--addictions), but I feel GREAT otherwise. Normal labs. I am the body weight I was 25 years ago without “dieting”. I could go on and on. The main reason I comment is the keep the you tube algorithm up for carnivore and for Chaffee.
I had to eat more fat like cold butter or fat from ribeyes but not where stools are too loose..Fat helps my energy and gives me good moods ., I’m 94 days into carnivore and I’m 66 and I think my body has just began to get used to processing the fat.. 🎉❤🎉❤
I am uping the fat too. Beginning to like it.
Cold butter is soothing after dinner instead of sweets, I have a black coffee and a piece of butter, a little in the coffee but some just cold like chocolate.
How much fat are we talking about? I’m easing into carnivore and idk how much fat is enough. Like ground beef is 80/20 not high enough? How much butter per day? I fry beef fat and makes it crispy and eat the crispy fat. I use the rendered fat for cooking my eggs. Some days I’m really energetic and some days not so.
@@CL-im9lk Just ease into it.
If you make it too hard it won’t be sustainable.
I we t keto first then slowly carnivore but I am still not quite there.
I still have coffee still have the odd dill cucumber but bit by bit I am cutting things out.
I found having a black coffee after dinner with a few cubes of cold butter really tastes like chocolate and I feel terrific.
Sometimes it’s best to add something like butter before you remove the pesky lingerers like berries after dinner. They were not terrible but wow when I cut them out I felt on top of the world.
🇦🇺
@@CL-im9lk I also eat 80/20 hamburger or and a small ribeye and 2-3 slices bacon and I make 4-5 scrambled eggs with 1-1 1/2 tbsp butter .. at first I didn’t add butter or eat extra fat off the ribeye or the fat from my hamburger and I had less energy but lost more weight.. then I added eating cold butter about 1-2tbsp a day but got too loose of stools .. I added eating some fat from hamburger but that was too much for me if I ate fat of ribeye..Then I tried browning the fat from my ribeyes and eating most of that and that works better for me and I get too loose of stool’s if I eat too much of it!
So it’s kind of an experiment for everyone to find out what works best for them..
That is so wonderful that you are going to be doing the trial!!🎉🎉 I am so proud of you getting this out there and of your professor being willing to do this! That's just amazing! You are the right man for the job!
It works! Just give it 30 days and see how you feel. I have a degree in nutrition/ dietetics and everything I learned 28 years ago in college was all the way wrong. Started with a whole food, meat heavy ketogenic diet on Dec 22, 2022. Moved to carnivore and it has been life changing. It has been a miracle for me and so many others.
Trying it for 30 days will change your opinion of carnivore. The body keeps the score and it will tell you quickly which diet works best for you. You will be shocked at how your body and mind respond to the carnivore way of eating. Blessings all!
Thank you Dr. Chaffee. It's thanks to you I tried the carnivore diet and 40 days in I have reversed so many life affecting conditions. I'm now going to the gym 4 times a week something I have not been able to do for 15 years... I'm 36 and I really feel like I'm 20 again.
Hey Doc, for these question answer videos, could you post the question up on screen as you answer, you don't have to chapter even. Not all questions are relevant to us all. Dr. Berry had this kind of format. There is so much good stuff but I struggle to keep up. Especially you top tier carnivores! The newbs can still listen to it all, but us 18 month + Carnivore have heard alot of it, but you still deliver those nuggets of wisdom I would like to skip to. Thanks!!
Amazing Dr Chafee ! I missed out helping my mother with severe stroke when I got given this amazing healing carnivore diet particularly the video from the guy helping the elderly in his resthome more like I didn’t action it she has since died 8 years post stroke I believe it was the medication that slowly killed her! ! Now I am healing myself 8 months after learning about it ! Morbidly obese losing weight in the gym mental health is off the charts after years of depression amd anxiety my period is back regularly afte twenty years I have been doing carnivore still working towards strict but now everything I eat bad gives me horrible symptoms so thankfully crap food makes me feel crap so It is easier and more enjoyable to eat meat I crave it thank you for all you and the carnivore family do ! Much love 💗 God bless 🙏🔥🙌🏽✝️💯
I am grateful for all of your advice Dr Chaffee. Pls keep the content coming. 48. 3 mth carnivore. 12 kgs lost.

Wow! That's so exciting about the metabolic trial treatment study on brain tumors! Congratulations!!
Congratulations on the presentation and study! 🙌🏻
Thank you! Congratulations on the successful presentation and possible clinical studies!
Thanks Dr Chaffee, always a pleasure to listen to you.
Absolute gold, great timing for the wife and I.
Back when I started in august, I've had a period where my mood plummeted and my mood was rather sorrowful. It seems to me being in connection with shugar withdrawal, and with lack of fat. So if one day you find yourself unmotivated to get up from bed, it might be just that: sugar depletion. Therefore, my advice: if you are transitioning to carnivore from a diet that had some shugar in it, and you are crashing down in withdrawal, keep just a tiny bit of shugar for start. Like, 1 teaspoon for a cup of tea in the morning, if you still drink tea.
True. I was having terrible muscle fatigue… So i add a bit of oat milk (no sugars version!) to my coffee in the morning and it works wonders. Oat milk is a bad drink because of plant oil but… i am transitioning… nothing is perfect and for now it seems to be working to me
God bless you Dr. Chaffee. Don’t stop! ❤
Thank you for your helpful and educational Q&A. I learn more every time I listen.
It absolutely can heal, and does heal. thank you Doc.
How long did things start to heal up for you?
the first 3 months, my blood markers gained 8-10 points. no IBS, no reflux, med free, and more. @@josh021588
My hair fell out after the first 4-9 months of eating carnivore and losing ,at that point, over 50 lbs. Just as it stopped she'd ding and started to grow back, I had a total knee replacement and 3 months later my hair began to fall out again. So I’ve concluded that shock to the system can cause hair to go into that resting, non-growth phase which normally lasts an average of 3 months before shedding then new hair growth cycle happens. It sucks but really does get better.
You’re correct. Major metabolic or physical shock can cause hair loss. It’s called Telle Efluvium. And 3-4 mo is often the “turn around”.
Hey, Dr. Chaffee . Luv the beard 😊
These QA are priceless
It is thrilling for many, we all appreciate all your hard work.
I had a tiny tear in the ? Dura Mater. It was minuscule and didn’t show up on ct scan so everyone thought I was imagining the agonising pain. Apparently my brain was beginning to “cone”
Thank you for all your hard work.

Hello doctor, first of all I would like to thank you for everything you do for people. I am a carnivore, I have lost 10 kg for almost 3 months now and I feel better than ever before. I would like to know your opinion on the topic of CTE and how the carnivore diet would affect healing since it is also a type of dementia. Since you played Ruhby professionally, have you ever had any experience with concussions? Thanks for everything, keep up the great work. greetings from Germany
Still baby stepping towards carnivore. I guess I'm keto with low carb now. Sitting here watching while holding back cravings for a root beer float and pizza
You're not in ketosis then and never have been. You're not doing anything except damaging your health
Here's what I suggest : check out the entire digestion system and diet. Check what comes out of the process - urine, faeces . Check out organs that support digestion. If this doesn't supply answers THEN look for other causes to explain symptoms. I.e the opposite of what doctors do today. Like a car - check the fuel tank, the fuel , the fuel line before you take the motor apart.
My mold exposure symptoms are better since going carnivore! Also, judy cho "Nutrition with judy" is the carnivore expert with mold sensitivity. The mold illness is called CIRS chronic inflammatory response syndrome. Live this question! But yes i did also need treatment for CIRS, jill crista and dr shoemaker protocols
I feel like crap due to oxalate dumping. It is tricky to manage. I wonder if the first lady who switched from Keto, had been eating a lot of oxalate containing foods before she went Carnivore. I thought I ate healthy home cooked foods. It turns out I was an oxalate junkie!
I thought I was the only one who was “scared” to stretch at night lol. I would stretch while asleep and wake up to unbearable pain. It felt like the muscle was going to rip off the bone. Then a Charlie horse for the next few days. Water (hydration), magnesium, and salt greatly helped. I just had to be careful when I would sweat a lot, like on a hike in the summer, that I would intake more water and electrolytes.
For cramps try a spoonful of apple cider vinegar a couple times a day. It works quickly.
Dr Chaffee, I’m convinced carnivore is my future. All lipid stats dropped crazy in last 11 months…down to 185 from 260. Recently been dealing with what I think is oxalate dumping; bumps/itchiness on my neck, arms, and legs. PCP says maybe eczema but sending me to dermatologist. If it’s oxalate dumping, how long would someone typically have to deal with it?
Great info 👊 Go Chaffee go
I exp. Hair loss, nail changes, increased eczema, bone & muscle pain w c0v id. Had to take niacinamide, ate pistaschios (for B6), B1 in ttfd form, & all B supplement w extra lypo C to overcome some while trying to eat carnivore which is helping significantly all the pain. Alot of pain in hips & lo back, myalgia in front thighs. All getting better. Eatting alot of ribeyes, eggs n bacon, beef fat the butcher cuts for me. I’m 77. No longer prediabetic either. Been on advair for asthma or other since in my 20’s after mercury poisoning
Post dental work.
Make sure grandma not cheating on candies 😉
The best test for kidney function, is not egfr and creatinine its cystatin C....much more sensitive and doesnt rely on muscle mass. Many carnivore dieters have a low egfr score, which normally is indicative of kidney problems, but it's a falsehood unless you had it before going carnivore.
Hi Anthony, I have a French male friend who has been eating carnivore for the past 6 months, after he and I discovered your videos.
He is worried about his kidneys, for 2 reasons:
- because his urine is quite foamy, which is apparently due to an excess of proteins
- he has dark circles under his eyes, which is apparently due to dysfunctional kidneys
Could you please shed some light on these 2 symptoms?
He eats meat cooked in butter, with some salt, and drinks a lot of water.
Thanks Doc!
Potassium is what I use for cramps. You don't need much. When I was keto diet before carnivore a banana would get rid of cramps.
Just to comment on the first question answered, I noticed the same thing upon starting.
After a short while I noticed 'WHAT' type of meat I ate made a very BIG difference in how satisfied (happy/good) I felt afterwards. I started with steak and hamburger... those two types of meat did not nearly give me the same fine feeling of satisfaction 'cozy full' as when I switched to flat iron steak and chuck roast (hopefully, I have translated these correctly. In dutch they are called Sukade and Riblap)
After making this, add a good amout of butter on top. This meal will leave you feeling very satisfied! (emotionally as well!)
Dutch are #reindeerherders too? I always wonder what the people in the far north would eat when nothing else grows during the year
The good gospel of meat is expediting a shortage. We need roaming herds not stalls to regenerate our supplies.
Regarding problems with mould toxicity, check out Dave Asprey who went through it himself.
I had kidney pain as well, when I first switched to keto about 3 months ago (I’m prolly 99% carnivore now). It happened only at night and when I would lay on my back. There was about a 2 week span of time where my kidneys just *ached* at night. I’d wake up from the discomfort and have to roll onto my side. My husband looked into it for me and apparently some ppl (I think it’s rare) do experience some kidney pain when going keto. I’m not sure why? But it sure did happen to ME. I’ve had a lot of UTIs over my life so I’m acutely aware of where my kidneys are located, and the pain was very distinct. But I just kept on, the pain never got any worse, eventually it got less and less and went away entirely. Keep drinking water and having electrolytes. Well, specifically salt. That’s what I did. ♥️
Me too
Take Magnesium for leg cramps.
Up to 1200mg / day. Starting out with 400mg and gradually increasing.
Cramps will go away within a day or two.
For detoxing from mold, i take activated charcoal + zeolite /bentolite clay in my bullet proof coffee
1 thing i believe people are doing is COLD turkey jumping in the deep end of the carnivore life style change. I started out lowering my carb addiction increasing my HIGH quality fats with C8 oil an avocados. over the period of 3 months. Then went to fasting 16/8 2 weeks 2 weeks off. I then pushed deeper into lowering my carbs to a low as i want. I still love sweet potatos, so i eat those with meat alot. I have lost a lot of tummy fat, an I do hope that my next blood work show my organ fat is gone.
??I had heart attack last year at 69. Lost my sister same day of cancer. I’ve been on carnivore 7 weeks feeling great. I had a stent and dr took me off of brelenta last month. I would love to get off statins and heart meds will that ever be possible?
I'm sorry for your loss. No wonder your heart is broken. Statins won't help you, they can harm you, and high cholesterol is not a problem despite what most doctors say. I'm 67 and avoid doctors...unless it's Dr. Chaffee or similar. I wish you the best.
If you can do carnivore you won’t regret it.

Hi Anthony, I have been suffering all the symptoms of
Polymyalgia Rheumatica for around five week now,
My blood tests came back and my doctor said he didn’t think it was PMR.
Do you think the carnivore diet would help, I am 69 years old and would really appreciate any advice.
Thank you in advance…
Amazing Dr Chaffee ❤
If you're doing Keto or Carnivore.. and you do Intermittent Fasting.. Be sure to drink your Electrolytes. (But don't over drink.. that leads to other issues).
Also.. going to Keto/Carnivore, some people get whats called the Keto FIu.. after the first few weeks.. that goes away.
Dr. Chaffee…. Diagnosed with a 4.3 cm aneurysm of the ascending aorta, Can I do the carnivore diet? Is this safe??
ANTHONY should I restart my diabetes meds. I stopped them a month ago when I started carnivore My blood sugar is 200.
People need to learn that the 3-4 meal a day stuff is new. 200k years ago, you'd be lucky to find food each day. You can't answer a new age question without first pointing out what we actually are evolved to do.
Mold & Carnivore: I found out I was sensitive to mold years ago and took the VCS test, got on Cholestiramine and healed sort of, because at that time Shoemaker was not recommending Carnivore. (The rest of my family just get allergies to mold, I get CIRS) We recently had a roof leak and I tested positive and had symptoms of CIRS again. I found Nutrition with Judy (Carnivore) This time I have gone Carnivore and even with the Cholestiramine, I have gotten better faster, and even wonder if I stay on Carnivore, if I can avoid the worst and catch mold issues sooner. The Cholsetiramine or Welchol (lowers cholseterol) is pretty easy to get if your LDL is highish since most Dr.s want you to lower cholsterol and eating plenty of fat makes it much easier, and it is only for a few months...although the Dr. will want you on it forever...you still get to decide to get a refill or not.
I’m a 74 year old diabetic. In my life, I choose to live with my own decisions, often against my doctor’s advice. I have been doing carnivore for a month. My morning glucose is usually 200. I stopped the Metformin and glypacide immediately. As long as I’ve been off the meds for the month should I just be patient or should I go back on the meds?
Do we have to use grass fed, wild caught, free range or can we use meat from the regular supermarket. Can we get diabetes from eating the grain fed meat
They have spent years telling us that meat causes cancer and , bean, veg are healthy. 😂 i had a bad gut eating carbs.
I wish i knew about the carnivore... it would have help my mum as she had gut issues. Main stream Dr's are still pushing the same old diet. 😢
Yeah it's a shame that there was so much bad information out there, and outright lies from powerful special interests. However the truth is coming out and more and more people and their doctors are seeing the truth for what it is. I hear more and more about people going carnivore and their doctors being happy for them and thinking that's a good idea, or even doctors recommending a carnivore diet to them. Certainly not the majority, but it is happening and hopefully will continue to happen more and more as we go until people finally regain their health back.

I know what I am posting is not enough for a diagnosis but here goes
A patient ( a friend’s family member) has finally been transferred to the hospital that can do a 72 hour EEG. She's not responding to anti-seizure meds so today's doctor's opinion is that these are psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (or PNES... we giggled on that one). Basically, stress-related onset.
Can this diet help with seizures
My wife has Wegeners and is taking prednisone and azathioprine. Can the carnivore diet cure Wegeners? I am afraid of losing her.
Hi Dr. Chaffee! My husband was recently diagnosed with LPR (Silent Refux) and we are beyond over this condition. He has eliminated all the so call triggers such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, carbonated beverages, and all acidic and spicy foods but he is still experiencing inflammation and dry throat. He's lost a good amount of weight in a short period time because he barely eats due to the stress of this condition. So my question to you and to anyone who has experienced this, do you think or know if the carnivore diet would be beneficial in his quest to be healed?
I think l've finally hit a struggle with carnivore.
I've been doing it religiously for 4 months and ended up in the ER with afib. I eat nothing but red meat and I know that doc is going to tell me to lay off red meat. The problem is I don't have any definitive evidence other than Shawn and Anthony and a few other TH-camrs saying it's good for you. Does anyone have any good resources I can read that are unbiased?
I started carnivore like 6 days ago , meat , eggs, some time cheese and cream, heavy cream with some Frozen raspberry inside but just one in a while but its been 2 days that when i eat my meat i like like if you eat to much chocolate and than i don't finish it and don't eat anymore. Its wierd no??
Dr. Chaffee, I am carnivore for 3 months. Everything is fine but I am 62 and prior to carnivore I had no wrinkles, and 3 months later I look like an old prune 😂😂😂 Why am I aging so fait ? Thank you !
LOL, i notice the loose skin under my chin, I do not like it. my hands are wrinkly and my belly. But I am happy I lost some belly fat which is more important to my health. but I am 63 years old. only 2 month into carnivore and i do not have a lot of weight to lose, that is why i do not want to lose more weight. i don't know what to do either. :)
Check your fat to protein ratio. You might need a lot more fat. That's been the game-changer for me.
Beef tallow is a great moisturiser.

I had that problem until I quit dairy. Around her period is when she first noticed it. Dairy has hormones. Im not saiying its bad a lot of people can have it but it may be hormone related
Because of Dr. C. I started carnivore on 11/2. I feel great but have not really lost any weight. Could the heavy cream in my coffee be the cause, I also eat some cheese with my eggs in the am.
No
It just takes time
Liver has to heal and insulin level needs to lower to lose weight
3-6 months should do it
Don’t give up
Same thing happened to me
@@Rick-rd9uu Thanks! No going back for me!
Dr. I had TIA three times already . Please advice if carnivore diet good for me .
Thank you n look forward for your guidance .
@anthonychaffee Tallow balm for bed sores?
Have you experienced cold hands cold feet on carnivore? If so what advice would you suggest to combat it. I have no underlying health issues. Thanks.
Wear gloves and Socks
Problem Solved
The beard makes you look younger.
I am 74, female and concerned about muscle loss. I take eaas. Do I need this on carnivore
@Anthony Chaffee MD I got my bloodwork back and it said my hematocrit was high. I'm a 60 year old woman and it is 46.2. I haven't talked to my doctor yet. Is this anything i need to worry about. What I've read is to lower it eat less red meat and fat. I do strict carnivore.
The sugar companies sponsor 80 times the "studies" that are genuine friend. Just eat meat it's not complicated
Your blood cells live longer when eating carnivore. This will cause increased numbers for RBC and hematocrit. Nothing to worry about 😊
@@above49th69 bingo. Instead of every single cell running on 30% atp (energy) they run at 100% you are correct. And it uses less NAD too friend with one NAD being used with a ketone to two NAD being needed for sugar
if you or your doctor is terribly alarmed by that number, you can donate blood regularly and help many others while bringing it back into range.
Thank you I feel better about it. I haven't talked with the doctor yet but I wanted to be informed before I went in. Donating blood is a great idea too.
Could the loss of hair and nails be because of the bad proteins that a veggie diet create? Like a purge of the bad proteins? Dr. Barry did a video on that...
Ask Anthony- interview dr jack kruse?
I've noticed my nails are breaking & feel like I am losing alot of hair. I am eating plenty of fat... can't figure out what's going on. I have malroation of the intestines & I know I don't get all my nutrients so not sure what to do...
Hi Doc, You have helped me before re: carnivore with Crohn's disease, my crp levels have gone down but I still cant seem to give up sugar, I know you say eating protein satiates you and you shouldn't crave sweets but I have tried and googled everything under the sun. Reaching out in case you have something else up your sleeve lol
You aren't even in ketosis then I'm sorry to say. You have to cold turkey off it like the drug it is otherwise you are just paying for an uncomfortable runny poop because your body doesn't know what to do with the fat friend
@@Hollycat50 I have monk fruit if I need to but not often, I put honey in my tea for the natural sweetness.
@@Hollycat50 I will try & see how I go. Mind over matter right? Thanks heaps, I'll keep you posted 😃
@@Helwa1973Honey fosters cravings. The sweetener doesn't really matter. Try some butter instead.
@@TerriblePerfection thanks heaps, will give it a try 😊
Can I add beef tallow to my cup of bone broth ?
a theory that meat marbling is not healthy for animal and human.fat and lean meat should grow separate.
Can I just do carnivore even if I am not sick or have no medical condition???
I'm broke and I can't make myself enjoy ground beef. I love ribeyes but can't afford them. Need ideas for the ground beef
If person number one was on veggies. Could she be adjusting to not having veggies?
Mikhaila Peterson. She had very bad mold exposure. Look for her videos on it.
Magnesium oxide is garbage when I switched to another type ( the one that starts with a G lol can’t spell) my leg cramps went away
When you say eat more fat but I hear you say all you eat is red meat and water, what is enough fat? I eat 2 ribeyes a day. Is that enough fat? Where else would I get fat from?
Grassfed butter,ghee, pasture raised egg yolks
I eat beef tallow as my fat.
I put butter on my ribeye. I also eat butter before bed to sleep better. It seemed weird at first but now it's part of my life.
I eat butter bacon beef lamb and more butter.
Cold butter is like smooth chocolate, but so good for skin hair hormones etc.
Butter,milk,pork belly
thank u
right now i feel like i need to eat more bacon and eggs and butter than beef
What about herbal healing? Is that totally out the window?
.?? I'm a type 1 diabetic going carnivore a week, was keto 8 yrs prior. On a pump and having a hard time staying on target. A lot of highs then lows from correcting. Having bolus issues? 3 meals per day
A week!? You've experienced a lot of highs and lows from slipping up and correcting in a week?? Come along now friend. You're not in ketosis, you're only lying to yourself. Try it, it's our biologically appropriate diet but you have to cold turkey off sugar treating it like the drug it is or there is literally no point because you just waste your money paying for a runny poop because your body will just dump the fat straight out as its on the sugar/glycogen paradigm
