Heather Healed Digestion, Sciatica, Joint Pains and Reduced Mal de Debarquement

Heather's Struggles with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome and Obesity

Heather's life and health have entirely changed since adopting the keto-carnivore lifestyle. Heather has struggled with a rare ailment called mal de debarquement syndrome (MS) since 2010.Heather says many people with this particular syndrome get it after being on a cruise ship, but the onset was spontaneous for Heather, and it affected her daily life.

Mal de Debarquement Syndrome: Symptoms and Effects on Heather's Life

Mal de debarquement is French for "sickness of disembarkment." For those cursed with the syndrome, MS feels as though you are constantly rocking, swaying, and shaking on a boat.MS can be very disorienting and can lead to other symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and migraines. For Heather, it affected her life every day. She says it made her feel like she was constantly out of sorts and battling brain fog. She tried different remedies and medicines to reduce her symptoms, but nothing helped.

Heather's Journey with the Keto-Carnivore Diet

Additionally, Heather was battling struggles related to her weight. Heather was obese, her highest weight being 238 pounds.Her excess weight caused her issues with high blood pressure (which she says her doctors were constantly hounding her about), heartburn, and sciatic pain. Her weight also caused gastrointestinal problems, as her body teetered between constant constipation and diarrhea.

The Positive Effects of the Keto-Carnivore Diet on Heather's Health

Heather decided to try the keto-carnivore diet. She says initially, for her, she kept in "sugar-free" condiments such as ketchup and barbecue sauce to help her through the transition. However, she soon found she enjoyed all the meats she ate without the add-ons and removed the condiments from her diet.

Heather also says she had some gastrointestinal issues at the beginning of her keto-carnivore journey. She battled diarrhea for the first two months of the diet, which she says was frustrating but not a significant issue since she worked alone and had access to her own restroom. Thankfully, her body eventually regulated itself, and she hasn't had gastrointestinal problems since then.

Since adopting the keto-carnivore way of life, Heather has been actively involved in CrossFit exercise, which she enjoys. Heather has also joined the MeatRx community. Heather says she has found the MeatRx community to be very beneficial. She also says she loves watching other keto-carnivore followers' videos online, especially the success stories.​Seeing so many people have success with this way of eating helps keep Heather motivated to keep going. Heather is thankful she has a community of fellow keto-carnivore diet followers to keep her going on her health journey.

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.
