Jim Lowered His Triglycerides And Blood Pressure

Jim’s Full Account on a Keto-Carnivore Diet

Going keto-carnivore has brought an astonishing change to my life. Today I enjoy the kind of energy I have not felt for three decades, and the inflammation that once bloated every joint has vanished. Six surgical clean-outs and a major ACL repair left my knee aching nonstop from 1985 onward, yet now it feels pain-free. Eighteen months ago I also received a hip replacement; after the operation and the switch to keto-carnivore I moved from a largely sedentary existence to a summer filled with new feats. I have already reached the summits of three mountains on foot, and I have taken up rowing sculls on Calgary’s reservoir.

My blood pressure, which hovered in the high one-fifties over nineties, now rests at a steady 120 over 70. Triglycerides have fallen by fifty percent. HDL cholesterol has climbed while LDL has dropped, and the scale has shrunk from 305 pounds to 225 pounds, a total loss exceeding eighty pounds. Tasks I considered impossible a year and a half ago—such as prolonged hikes, rowing sessions, or casual strength work—now fit easily into my weekly routine. Muscle develops without focused effort, the by-product of densely nourishing food rather than relentless training.

When I arrived for my annual physical, the family doctor who has monitored me for thirty-two years barely recognized me. He once warned me, in as many words, that I carried too much weight. After a year lost to COVID restrictions, I stepped into his office at my lightest weight in three decades. He measured my blood pressure, stared at the gauge, and released a rare “Wow,” noting the reading of 120⁄70 when historical charts showed 145⁄85 or 150⁄90. Laboratory work confirmed the dramatic plunge in triglycerides, the rise in HDL, and the fall in LDL; every blood marker improved.

Constant hunger, which previously drove me to graze all day long, has disappeared. I eat when truly hungry and feel satisfied for hours afterward. My progress also holds special meaning because I survived chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diagnosed in 2011. Treatment in 2013 combined a lab-engineered antibody with chemotherapy, and for seven years no cancer cells have appeared in my blood.

​The keto-carnivore diet has accomplished more than restoring numbers on a chart. It has replaced chronic soreness with strength, traded fatigue for vigor, and returned a future in which mountain peaks and long rowing strokes feel not only possible but exhilarating.

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.
