Glenn Lost Weight, Gained Muscle, And Improved Gut Health

Glen’s Path to Sobriety and Strength with Keto-Carnivore

Early Struggles and the Depths of Addiction

Glen grew up active, playing sports like football and boxing. But in his early twenties, personal struggles led him to alcohol. His drinking escalated, reaching over two liters of spirits a day. By 21, he faced multiple hospitalizations, daily panic attacks, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

In 2018, Glen entered rehab. It was a turning point. He realized that mental and physical health had to be priorities. He chose to find natural solutions for anxiety and depression instead of relying on medication.


Failed Attempts with Veganism and Keto

His first experiment was with veganism, which initially gave him a slight energy boost. But that quickly faded. His exhaustion deepened, and his mental health showed no real improvement.

He then tried a ketogenic diet. This helped him lose weight and brought some mental clarity. His anxiety eased slightly, but it wasn’t enough to sustain real healing. He knew something more was needed.


Transformation Through Keto-Carnivore

That’s when Glen discovered the keto-carnivore diet. He was skeptical at first—worried about fat and cholesterol. But desperate for change, he committed to it fully. The results were immediate and powerful. His energy surged, his anxiety vanished, and his depression lifted.

With renewed strength, Glen returned to exercise, built muscle, and improved his gut health. The change wasn’t just mental—it was physical, tangible, and life-altering.


Evolving to an Animal-Based Lifestyle

After a year, Glen tested adding some carbohydrates—like fruit, rice, and sweet potatoes. His body responded well. Now he follows an animal-based lifestyle, cycling between strict keto-carnivore and lower-carb phases based on his needs.

This way of eating has been essential to his sobriety. Now over seven years sober, Glen credits much of his recovery to the clarity, stability, and strength this lifestyle provided.


Building a New Life

​Today, Glen lives with purpose. He’s proof that overcoming addiction and rebuilding health is possible with the right foundation. The keto-carnivore lifestyle gave him a future—and he’s never looking back.

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.
