Mike C.'s Accidental Discovery of the Keto-Carnivore Way of Life

Hello Dr. Baker and the MeatRX team! I wanted to wait until I had a full year of keto-carnivore under my belt before I did my testimonial. I kind of accidentally discovered this way of eating going from 2 months of keto and just kind of skipping the plants part, which led me down a path of healing that I never could have imagined possible.

Then I started researching if the keto-carnivore lifestyle is something that can be sustained and ran across Jordan Peterson's story, and that led to researching you. Very happy I did! So, for the most part, I have been living with all the things that go wrong when you hit certain ages, accepting them as inevitable parts of the aging process.

Challenging the Idea of Natural Wear and Tear
Got issues from being a teen, 20s, 35, 40, etc. (I'll be 45 in July). All things I was told by friends, doctors, and everyone that is just part of life. My worst injury was a bulging disc from a few years back, and all my other issues were just listed under "natural wear and tear." This dismissive attitude from the medical community led me to believe that progressive deterioration was simply my destiny as I aged.

The concept of "natural wear and tear" had become so ingrained in my thinking that I had resigned myself to a future of increasing pain, declining health, and reduced quality of life. Every ache, pain, and health issue was explained away as the inevitable consequence of aging, leaving me with little hope for improvement and certainly no expectation of actually reversing these conditions.

Turns out that NONE OF THAT IS TRUE. The keto-carnivore way of eating has completely shattered this limiting belief and proven that the human body has an incredible capacity for healing and regeneration when provided with the proper nutrition. What I had accepted as permanent damage and irreversible aging has proven to be largely the result of chronic inflammation and nutritional deficiencies that can be addressed through dietary intervention.

Life-Changing Improvements Through Keto-Carnivore
At the end of this testimonial, I will be putting a comprehensive list of all the awesome things that have happened over the past 12 months. Before that, I wanted to say that this lifestyle is an absolute game changer, even for just an average person with average problems like myself. The transformation has been so profound that it has fundamentally changed my perspective on health, aging, and what's possible for the human body.

I had no idea how crappy my body was doing until I started making this list and really reflecting on all the improvements I've experienced. The changes have been so gradual and comprehensive that I almost didn't realize the full extent of my healing until I sat down to document everything. I almost feel like a low-level superhero, with capabilities and vitality that I haven't experienced in decades.

I'm at the midlife crisis stage, and I feel better than I can even remember feeling, possibly better than I felt in my twenties and thirties. This is particularly remarkable given that society conditions us to expect declining health and vitality as we age. Instead, I'm experiencing the opposite - increasing strength, energy, and overall wellbeing that continues to improve with each passing month on the keto-carnivore lifestyle.

Thank you so much for your research, advocacy, and dedication to sharing this life-changing information with the world. Without your work and the testimonials of others like Jordan Peterson, I might never have discovered this incredible way of eating and healing.

Comprehensive Health Improvements on Keto-Carnivore
The following is a comprehensive list of everything I could identify that has significantly improved since I started the keto-carnivore diet. The breadth and depth of these improvements speak to the systemic healing that occurs when the body receives optimal nutrition while eliminating inflammatory foods and compounds.

Skin Health Transformation
My skin health has undergone a complete transformation that I never thought possible. Keratosis that had been present for years has completely disappeared, along with the bad body acne that had plagued me for decades. The chronic issue of cracked, bleeding feet has healed entirely, and my previously chapped bleeding lips have been reduced by 90%, requiring minimal intervention to maintain healthy skin.

The persistent dry skin on my arms and hands that required constant moisturizing has resolved completely, and the athlete's foot that would return seasonally has been eliminated entirely. Perhaps most remarkably, I no longer experience the lobster sunburn that would occur with minimal sun exposure, indicating improved skin resilience and health from within.

Body odor has become a non-issue, even during intense physical activity, and the vinegar smell that would occur after workouts has completely disappeared. These changes suggest that my body is no longer producing the inflammatory compounds and metabolic byproducts that contribute to skin problems and unpleasant odors.

Complete Resolution of Chronic Pain
The elimination of chronic pain conditions has been perhaps the most life-changing aspect of my keto-carnivore journey. Tennis elbow that had limited my activities for 5 years is completely gone, along with shoulder tendonitis that had been a constant companion for 10 years. Carpal tunnel syndrome that had affected my work and daily activities for 10 years has resolved entirely, as has the radial tunnel syndrome that had caused pain for 5 years.

The finger and thumb tendonitis that had made simple tasks painful for 4 years has disappeared, and the knee pain that had been present for 30 years is completely gone. Hip pain that had affected my mobility for 15 years is no longer an issue, and the lower back pain that had been a constant presence for 25 years has been eliminated entirely.

Even the plantar fasciitis that had made walking painful for 3 years has resolved completely. These improvements represent not just pain relief but actual healing of damaged tissues and resolution of the underlying inflammatory processes that had caused these conditions.

Enhanced Immune Function and Seasonal Health
My immune system has been dramatically strengthened through the keto-carnivore approach. I haven't had a single cold or flu since February 2019, representing a complete departure from my previous pattern of frequent illness. The constant level of phlegm that had been a persistent annoyance has disappeared entirely, and my seasonal allergies have been eliminated completely.

Tension, stress, and sinus headaches have been reduced from approximately 25 per year to just 3, representing a massive improvement in my quality of life and daily comfort. This enhanced immune function and reduced inflammatory response has made me more resilient to environmental stressors and seasonal changes.

Digestive System Healing
The improvements in my digestive health have been comprehensive and profound. Hemorrhoids that had been a recurring problem have been eliminated entirely, and the diverticulitis symptoms that had caused significant discomfort have resolved completely. My bleeding and receding gums have healed, and the constant plaque and fuzzy feeling on my teeth has disappeared.

Perhaps most notably, I've experienced a 95% reduction in gas production, indicating that my digestive system is now processing food efficiently without the fermentation and inflammatory processes that had been occurring previously. Heartburn that had been a regular occurrence is completely gone, and bad breath is no longer an issue.

Food allergies that had limited my dietary choices and caused uncomfortable reactions have been eliminated entirely, suggesting that my immune system is no longer overreacting to food proteins and that my gut health has been restored.

Hair and Nail Improvements
The improvements in my hair and nail health indicate enhanced nutrient absorption and utilization. New hair growth has appeared on my knees, and my eyelashes have become fuller and more robust. I've experienced a small amount of head hair regrowth, and some of my gray hair has actually disappeared, returning to its natural color.

My beard has become thicker and more robust, and both my fingernails and toenails have become less brittle and more resilient. These changes reflect the improved protein synthesis and mineral absorption that occurs when the body receives optimal nutrition from bioavailable animal foods.

Additional Remarkable Improvements
The additional improvements I've experienced demonstrate the comprehensive nature of healing that occurs on the keto-carnivore diet. I've lost 55 pounds of fat while gaining 7 pounds of muscle, representing a complete transformation in body composition. My road rage has almost completely disappeared, and I'm generally more chill while driving, indicating improved stress resilience and emotional regulation.

The "old man" warm-up time that had become necessary in the mornings has been eliminated entirely, and I'm more motivated in general across all areas of my life. Migraines that had been a recurring problem have been eliminated, and my frequent nosebleeds have been reduced from 2-3 per month to just 1 for the entire year.

Remarkably, I've grown an inch taller, likely due to improved posture and spinal health, and my tinnitus has completely disappeared. I can now be around sick people without fear of getting sick, and the eye floaters that had been annoying have been eliminated entirely.

My temperature tolerance has improved dramatically, allowing me to be comfortable in jeans and t-shirt weather from 30-80 degrees. I haven't experienced any other illness of any kind since February 2019, and injuries now heal approximately 50% faster than they did previously.

The overall strength increase I've experienced has been remarkable, and when I recently fell down half a flight of wooden stairs, I was able to get up with no problem, demonstrating the resilience and recovery capacity that the keto-carnivore diet has provided. Most food and alcohol cravings have disappeared, though I still have some alcohol cravings occasionally.

​Random chest and internal torso pains that had been concerning and uncomfortable have been eliminated entirely, contributing to an overall sense of wellbeing and confidence in my body's health and function. These comprehensive improvements demonstrate that the keto-carnivore way of eating addresses health issues at the most fundamental level, allowing the body to heal and function optimally across all systems.
