A Shoulder Injury Leads to a Change in Diet
Anne lives in Vancouver and says growing up, she ate a lot of carbohydrates, especially rice. Anne has been suffering from migraines with aura since she was thirteen years old, but a problem with her shoulder got her attention and made her want to change her diet. About a year ago, Anne began having intense pain in her shoulder, and she struggled to sleep at night for almost two months.

From Ketovore to Keto-Carnivore: Anne's Transition
Anne didn't want to wait for three years, so she began researching anti-inflammatory diets on her own, hoping that changing what she was eating would help alleviate her pain. Anne says she quickly found Mikhaila Peterson, a keto-carnivore diet advocate, who healed her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis with the diet.

Anne says initially, the keto-carnivore diet seemed too extreme for her. She researched more and asked individuals in the keto-carnivore community if they had any suggestions on how to get started. Anne says someone suggested she try going ketovore or a meat-heavy ketogenic before fully jumping into the keto-carnivore lifestyle. Anne followed this advice and the ketovore diet for two months.

Healing Benefits of the Keto-Carnivore Diet
After two months on the ketovore diet, Anne became a total keto-carnivore diet follower. She says today that her shoulder is 98% healed. Anne also says her migraines have also become much more manageable. She describes she felt a migraine coming on around eight months into the keto-carnivore diet. However, instead of experiencing debilitating pain as she had since she was a teen, Anne says the migraine was manageable– she didn't even take her medication.

Anne's Current Keto-Carnivore Diet and Extended Fasting Practice
Today, Anne says her diet is similar to her ketovore days– sans plants. She eats a lot of beef, lamb, and bison and adds cod liver oil since the sun is hard to come by in Vancouver. Anne also practices extended fasting. Anne has just completed a two-week fast. She says during the fast, she drank water, electrolytes, and one black coffee per day.

Anne's Advice for Trying the Keto-Carnivore Diet
Anne advises anyone wanting to try the keto-carnivore diet to go meat-based keto first– just like she did. She says anyone from a Standard American Diet will most likely struggle with carb withdrawals when jumping straight to keto-carnivore, so she thinks trying ketovore first is the easiest way. Anne also says to persevere, even when the diet becomes challenging, because it will get easier.
​Anne is grateful she discovered the keto-carnivore diet and loves sharing her story with others. She has even documented her journey on Instagram. Anne plans to continue following the keto-carnivore way of eating and is looking forward to a pain-free life.
