Nicole’s Wake-Up Call
Looking back, Nicole is shocked by how unhealthy she felt before starting keto-carnivore. “This diet saving me is an understatement!” she says. She lacked energy, adhered to a gluten-free diet, took thyroid medication for Hashimoto’s, used vitamins, and exercised—but still suffered aching joints, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain.

Discovering Keto‑Carnivore
A friend’s impressive keto-carnivore transformation caught Nicole’s attention: “I didn’t have anything to lose.” Inspired further by Dr. Jordan Peterson and Mikhaila Peterson, she decided to give it a try.

Simplicity Fuels Success
The simplicity of keto-carnivore suited her well. Nicole avoided complex recipes, sticking to staples like steak, bacon, and eggs—easy to prepare and perfect for her busy life. “It’s a really simple diet for people with busy schedules!” she notes.

Early Transformation
Her transition took about two weeks. Within that time she lost 15 pounds and felt a surge of energy. Depression lifted and brain fog and joint pain disappeared.

Real Results and Setbacks
Nicole achieved weight loss and improved lab results. However, a brief return to her previous eating habits caused her health markers to worsen. “When I fell off the wagon… it opened my eyes to how dramatic the change had been.”

Looking Ahead
​Her goal is to resume strict keto-carnivore eating and potentially discontinue her thyroid medication for Hashimoto’s, as detailed lab results hint at this possibility.

Nicole’s Journey with Keto‑Carnivore

​​From battling low energy, brain fog, depression, joint pain, and Hashimoto’s, Nicole was living on a restricted gluten-free diet, thyroid meds, and supplements. A friend’s keto-carnivore success and stories from Dr. Jordan Peterson and his daughter prompted her to give it a try. She embraced the simplicity of steak, bacon, and eggs, eschewing fancy recipes or meal prep. Within two weeks she dropped 15 pounds, and her energy soared, depression lifted, and mental clarity and joint comfort returned. Lab tests during her keto-carnivore peak surprised her doctor. A brief relapse into old habits—during the pandemic—proved just how transformative the diet had been when her markers worsened after passing tests earlier. Now fully committed, Nicole aims to stick with keto-carnivore and work toward stopping her thyroid medication for Hashimoto’s.
