Martin Improves Ankylosing Spondylitis And Psoriasis

​Martin’s story shows that a disciplined keto-carnivore diet can transform chronic inflammatory illness into vibrant health—even after decades of suffering.


​Today Martin continues to thrive on keto-carnivore. His skin resists sunburn, body odor diminished, sense of smell sharpened and weight-training endurance soars. Most importantly, he remains medication-free, proving that nutrient-dense animal foods can calm autoimmune fire when conventional therapies fail.


​Ongoing Improvements

​​Eighteen days later Martin woke up to a silent digestive system—no urgency, no heartburn, no pain. Joint agony eased from constant torment to a 4 out of 10. Encouraged, he pressed on. At the 90-day mark he reported zero IBS after 40 years, 95 % clearance of lifelong psoriasis, a 35-pound weight loss and the thrill of skating in his first hockey game since college.


​Early Relief and Rapid Wins

​​While scouring YouTube he found a TEDx talk by a young woman who overcame crippling autoimmune pain on a keto-carnivore diet. He dove into lectures by Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee and Dr. Paul Saladino. The more he learned, the less appealing immunosuppressants looked. On March 3 he went “all in” on keto-carnivore, committing to meat, eggs and healthy animal fats while eliminating plants, sugar and seed oils.


​A TEDx Spark and a Bold Decision​

​​Tests soon confirmed ankylosing spondylitis and fibromyalgia, plus the HLA-B27 marker. Specialists proposed high-dose vitamin K and the immunosuppressant mycophenolate. Reading side-effect lists late at night, Martin imagined a future without hockey, motorcycles or active retirement and wondered if this was the best life would offer.


​Multiple Diagnoses and Dark Thoughts​

​​Desperate, Martin experimented with every diet he could find. A week-long vegan attempt—sparked by a glowing sports documentary—left him doubled over as IBS hit “like a bomb” and his rash flared even hotter. Psoriasis progressed to psoriatic arthritis; acute back pain spiraled into full-body inflammation where “every joint burned whether I moved or sat still.”


​Failed Fixes and Worsening Inflammation

From childhood Martin’s skin erupted with psoriasis, covering 85 % of his body by age 16. Cracking joints soon followed and his weight climbed to 215 pounds. Doctors prescribed creams and pills and told him he simply had to live with irritable bowel syndrome. Nothing eased the pain or the embarrassment.

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.
