Paola Healed Chronic Constipation, Bloating, And Hormonal Acne

From Panama’s Fryers to Freedom: Paola’s Keto-Carnivore Journey

‍
Early Diet and the First Signs of Trouble‍

Raised on the standard Panamanian habit of frying almost everything, Paola ate plenty of meat but just as many seed-oil-soaked carbohydrates. A vacation to Spain at twenty-three exposed a deeper issue: stabbing knee pain that lingered long after she left Europe. Doctors in Panama labeled it osteoarthritis, prescribed anti-inflammatories, and told her to trade weight-lifting for gentle walks—an “old-people” diagnosis that left her discouraged.

Chasing Relief Across Continents‍

Determined to fight back, Paola cut gluten and felt small improvements, yet the relief faded when she moved to Canada for graduate school. Gray skies, heavier comfort foods and study stress reignited the pain, constipation and hormonal breakouts. Exhaustion sent her hunting online where the “Keto King” convinced her to try high-fat, low-carb eating. For two years she enjoyed calmer digestion and clearer skin, but the benefits slipped away; acne flared, bowels stalled and gut discomfort returned.

Discovering Keto-Carnivore and Reclaiming Health‍

Desperate for answers, Paola found Mikayla Peterson’s story and dove into Dr. Shawn Baker’s podcasts on the keto-carnivore lifestyle. She committed fully, replacing vegetables with meat and animal fat. Within months her hormonal acne vanished, bowel movements normalized and the stiffness in her knees eased. Occasional acid reflux responded quickly to a splash of apple-cider vinegar, and she marveled at how simple the change felt once results appeared.

​Today Paola eats three meat-centric meals—often eggs, bacon and yogurt for breakfast; raw beef at work for easier digestion; cooked steaks or roasts at home—and sometimes fasts up to eighteen hours on weekends. Dairy and the rare handful of berries provide variety, but meat remains the foundation. Stress still affects her gut, so she listens closely to her body and adapts, convinced by experience that, above all, meat heals.
