Chris Improved His Diabetes and Mental Health

Chris' Health Issues

On Christmas Day 2016, I was admitted to the hospital with an infection on my left arm. It turned out to be necrotizing fasciitis, which required numerous debridement surgeries and skin grafts. I spent seven weeks in the hospital and a year recovering.

In my research on the condition, I discovered how much metabolic health contributes to this condition. I was nearly 300 pounds and a type 2 diabetic. I wasn't taking care of myself at all and felt miserable. Medications were ineffective, and I was getting worse.


Changing to a Keto-Carnivore Diet

In April 2018, I finally made the choice to make a change. I did a lot of research and found the ketogenic community. I dove right in. I quickly began losing weight while eating very low carbs and incorporating intermittent fasting.

I forced myself to eat some vegetables (traditional dogma pressured me to) but quickly found the keto-carnivore community after seeing Dr Shawn Baker on the Joe Rogan podcast. Since then, I've been on an all-meat diet and have felt better and better month over month.

Today I am in the best shape of my life, am no longer diabetic, and enjoy living and my family more than ever.
