Ernest Healed Seborrheic Keratosis

Falling Off the Low-Carb Track

An Atkins devotee since the 1980s, Ernest retired in 2015 believing he was still fit. A vacation in Seattle derailed that confidence: blackberry crêpes, homemade ice cream, and daily German pastries pushed his weight from a steady 180 lbs to 230 lbs. Foot swelling made walking painful, and squeezing into his beloved Mustang convertible became impossible.


Realizing the Cost of Extra Weight

Hauling those extra fifty pounds felt like lugging two feed sacks around the clock. A breathless hike in Big Bend National Park convinced Ernest change was urgent. Meanwhile, itchy patches erupted on his face, chest, hands, and feet. Online research revealed seborrheic keratosis and eczema—conditions his doctor first mistook for fungal infection.


Discovering Keto-Carnivore and Rapid Skin Healing

Videos by Kelly Hogan and later Dr. Shawn Baker and Charles Washington introduced Ernest to the ancestral logic of an all-meat keto-carnivore diet. Five dedicated months later every keratosis bump and eczema flare had vanished. Encouraged, he marveled at painless feet and steady vitality.


A Brief Keto Detour and Swift Return

Tempted by faster scale drops, Ernest drifted back to standard keto. The eczema re-appeared almost immediately, reminding him why keto-carnivore mattered. In March 2019 he recommitted “forever” and within seven months had re-lost the excess weight, stabilized at 180 lbs, and kept Hashimoto’s symptoms in check.


Debating Doctors and Sharing Ribeyes

​Ernest’s physician frets over LDL levels, but decades of reading lead Ernest to reject statins; the two now agree to disagree. Mealtime dynamics with his vegetarian daughter stay cordial—she takes his salads, he enjoys the ribeyes. Reflecting on thirty years working with Inupiaq Eskimos in the Alaskan Arctic, Ernest trusts a meat-focused diet to match his deep Neanderthal ancestry. “Viva la carne,” he laughs, confident that keto-carnivore living will carry him through the decades ahead.

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.
