David Heals Uveitis And Rheumatoid Arthritis And Loses Weight

How David Discovered the Keto-Carnivore Diet

David found the keto-carnivore diet because of a desire to research how to reduce his uveitis, a form of inflammation in the eye. David says there was a point in his life when he almost became blind in his left eye because of the severity of his uveitis.

David's Experience with the Keto-Carnivore Diet

David began searching for relief on the internet and ran across the MeatRx community and Dr. Shawn Baker. He says the MeatRx testimonials proved that the keto-carnivore diet wasn't just a fad. David also says he felt he could trust Dr. Baker because he is an orthopedic surgeon and well-regarded in the medical community.


Before adopting a keto-carnivore lifestyle, David says he ate the Standard American Diet. When he decided to do the keto-carnivore diet, he went cold turkey, only consuming meat, fat, and water. David struggled with some cravings initially but pushed through them, and almost immediately, he saw improvements. Not only did the inflammation in his eye improve, the pain he had been experiencing in his wrist almost wholly subsided.


Benefits of a Keto-Carnivore Lifestyle for David

Later, David would find out that the pain he was experiencing in his wrist was rheumatoid arthritis. David said when he started the keto-carnivore diet, he was on a three-month waiting list to see a doctor about the pain. At the time, the pain in his wrist was debilitating and keeping him up at night. The pain was almost completely gone when he got to his appointment. His doctor still wanted to put David on multiple medications, but David didn't see the point in taking unneeded medications.


David has experienced other positive results from adopting a keto-carnivore lifestyle. He has lost thirty-two pounds and reports his energy and mental clarity are the best they have ever been. His wife is also a keto-carnivore follower. She has lost even more weight than he has and no longer has stomach issues. David feels he and his wife's keto-carnivore lifestyle even attributed to how well their body handled covid-19 when they caught the virus. He said the covid virus was "nothing more than a mild cold" for them. He feels their keto-carnivore lifestyle gave him and his wife extra immune protection against the virus.


David's Diet and Exercise Routine

David is a hunter; he and his wife live in a more remote part of Canada. He says that approximately 90% of their diet is wild game, and the other 10% is store-bought beef or pork. David says he and his wife usually enjoy one meal daily, though they will eat two for special occasions. David also says they are relatively active because of where they live, although he has started adding weights to his exercise regime.


David's Advice for Starting a Keto-Carnivore Diet

​David says he will never go back to his previous way of eating. The mental clarity and energy he has gained since adopting the keto-carnivore lifestyle are both priceless. His advice to anyone looking to get started on the keto-carnivore diet is to "not worry about what you find online." He feels there are many online myths about the keto-carnivore lifestyle, but the truth can be found in real-life testimonials.

Rowan Improved Cardiovascular Health, Treated Arthritis

After struggling with weight loss and finding keto difficult to maintain, this person discovered the carnivore diet through Shawn Baker's Joe Rogan appearance in December 2017. They lost 36 pounds (from 216 to 180), eliminated arthritis in their left hand (which had a surgically reattached finger), normalized blood pressure from prehypertension, and experienced improved mental clarity and stress response.I was struggling trying to lose weight, and found keto so hard to stick to, so easy to fall off. I heard Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan and decided to look into it. I spent about 2 or 3 weeks checking out the info, and asking people on the Zeroing in on Health forum on Facebook numerous questions. After that, I was convinced it was worth trying keto-carnivore for a month. I began on the keto-carnivore diet on December 12th 2017. I've never even had to consider changing back. I was 216 lbs, and I am now 180. I had arthritis in my left hand, which hand had to have a finger surgically reattached to it after it was ripped off in an accident 13 years prior; but the arthritis went away after 2 weeks keto-carnivore. I had prehypertension, but my blood pressure (measured on three separate occasions) is normal. I feel better, I think clearer, and I respond to stress better than at any time in my life. ​I never intend to stop being a keto-carnivore.
