Rick Is Off All Medications For Chronic Inflammation And Malaise

Pushing Through Pain Until the Body Pushed Back

Rick spent decades outrunning problems—literally. Marathon training in middle age looked heroic on paper, yet inside his body inflammation raged. Four knee replacements, cervical surgery, and searing joint pain forced him to admit that mileage could not compensate for diet. Lab numbers climbed, eczema flared, and prescription counts multiplied; doctors even suspected lupus and prescribed immune-suppressing drugs that worsened anxiety and crushed his defenses.


Keto Helped the Scale, Not the Symptoms

First he stripped out dairy and gluten. Bloat eased a little, so he embraced ketogenic macros. The weight began to drop, but blood pressure stayed high and eczema spread. Month after month his physician added pills while ignoring root causes. Frustration mounted until Rick encountered Dr Shawn Baker’s work and the growing keto-carnivore community. The notion that humans can thrive on animal foods alone felt radical yet undeniable once he devoured more than twenty scientific and anecdotal books.


One Year Fully Keto-Carnivore

Commitment brought rapid change. Within days of eliminating plants, blood pressure stabilized and eczema faded; within weeks his sleep deepened and morning energy felt “off the charts.” In a single year he released fifty pounds, slashed systemic inflammation, and reclaimed a high-school waistline. Every medication—blood-pressure tablets, eczema creams, experimental lupus drugs—went to the trash.

A typical day now opens with farm-fresh eggs fried in tallow. Lunch often features steak or seared liver; bacon from the refrigerator serves as a cold snack between flights or client meetings. He learned dairy triggers flare-ups, so cheese appears rarely and only as a long-aged treat. Clarified butter remains an option, yet beef tallow and leaf-lard are his fats of choice.


Life Without Limits

​Today Rick describes himself as “one hundred times better” than before keto-carnivore eating. He only wishes he had found the approach twenty years earlier. Membership in the MeatRx community provides camaraderie and ongoing education through virtual meetings, reinforcing a lifestyle he now plans to follow permanently. Chronic inflammation no longer dictates his days; vibrant health, stable moods, and pain-free movement have reclaimed them.

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.
