Doug Improved Adrenal Health, Psoriasis, Sciatica

From Plant-Based Detox to Crisis

Doug spent years on a mucusless, raw, fruit-and-greens detoxification protocol, losing weight but feeling weak. He developed depression, joint and back pain from spinal injuries, skin rashes, chronic fatigue, constipation, and osteoarthritis—all while following extreme plant-based regimens.


The Turning Point on Keto‑Carnivore

In early 2018, after a failed fast and worsening health, Doug discovered animal-based healing through Aajonus Vonderplanitz. He began eating lamb, eggs, butter, and ribeye and immediately noticed improved digestion, reduced anxiety and fatigue, and better mental clarity.


Rapid Healing and Transformation

Doug fully committed to a keto‑carnivore diet—2–3 lb of beef daily, with butter—for eight months. He gained 30 lb of lean muscle, cleared skin rashes and psoriasis, ended joint pain and sciatica, and rebuilt his digestive health. He now digests plants but prefers meat for optimal wellness.


Eating for Strength and Health

He maintains a high-calorie diet of beef, organ meats, eggs, and bone marrow while strength training regularly. He reports constant energy, positive mood, and best physical condition ever. His wife also experienced benefits after trying his approach.


Reflections on Healing

Doug emphasizes the simplicity and satisfaction of keto‑carnivore, noting that meat never gets boring and leaves him content. What began as recovery from a dark place has become a sustainable, joyful lifestyle rooted in nutrient-dense whole foods.

​Doug’s journey from plant-based failure to vibrant health on a keto‑carnivore diet is a testament to how thoughtful dietary choices—backed by real-world experimentation—can restore balance to body and mind.

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.
