Jesse lost over 115 pounds and got off medications he's been taking for 30 years

Before
After

Jesse tried it all: functional medicine doctors, weight loss programs, and years of researching nutrition on his own. Still, the weight returned, pain and inflammation persisted, and he felt drained. After joining Revero, he lost over 115 pounds in less than a year, started jogging for the first time since high school, and stopped taking almost all his medications, including the heartburn medicine he’d used since he was twelve.

Stuck in a Cycle That Wouldn't Break

Jesse's health journey didn't start with Revero. He'd been working on his health for years, including completing another program that had initially helped him lose weight. But after getting married, some of the weight crept back on, and it brought with it a familiar set of problems: chronic pain, inflammation, and a total lack of energy.

He tried the program that had worked before and saw functional medicine doctors, but nothing helped. “I continued to be stalled out and not be able to lose weight again,” Jesse said. He felt stuck and was running out of options.

A Transformation in Less Than a Year

Jesse joined Revero and saw results quickly. He lost over 115 pounds in less than a year, but the changes went beyond just the number on the scale.

His pre-diabetes went away. His insulin resistance got better. His blood pressure, which was almost high enough for medication, became stable. His resting heart rate dropped to the fifties, and his cholesterol improved. Beyond the lab results, he felt much more energetic, had less pain and inflammation, and noticed a real boost in his mood and mental health.

One of the biggest changes was with his medications. Jesse had taken heartburn and acid reflux medicine for more than thirty years, starting at age twelve. He had tried to stop many times but couldn’t. With help from his coach and care team, he finally stopped taking them for the first time as an adult. Now, the only medicine he uses is for his eyes.

From Barely Walking to Jogging Again

Before Revero, Jesse could walk, but even that was a struggle. Exercise beyond the basics wasn't realistic. Now he's jogging regularly, about a mile and a quarter at a time, and working to improve his pace. It's the first time he's been able to jog since playing football as a high school freshman, decades earlier.

Doubtful at First, Then Completely Convinced

Jesse already knew a lot when he started. He had studied nutrition for years and understood ketogenic and high-protein diets. At first, he wasn’t sure Revero would be worth it, since he already had so much knowledge.

That skepticism didn't last. "After doing the program and working with my coaches and care team, it's absolutely worth it," he said. The difference wasn't just the dietary knowledge; it was the support, the accountability, and the problem-solving. When Jesse hit a plateau around the 110-pound mark, his coaches worked with him to try different approaches until they broke through it together. That kind of hands-on, bespoke guidance was something he couldn't get on his own.

What Surprised Him Most

When asked what surprised him most, Jesse mentioned how much his coaching team cared, how knowledgeable they were, their openness to trying new things, and their patience as he worked through the process.

“People say it’s easy, but it’s not easy to completely change the way you eat, think about food, and view your health,” Jesse said. What helped most was having a team that understood this and supported him with skill and kindness.

Jesse’s advice to anyone thinking about Revero is simple: don’t wait. He’s already recommended the program to several family members and friends, and he believes the support and care are well worth it.

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.
