Ryan Cleared Auto-Immune Disorder That Affected His Right Eye

A Competitive Nature Meets a Metabolic Wall

At thirty years old Ryan began gaining ten pounds every year. By thirty-seven the married father of three had slipped from ex-athlete to exhausted commuter, carrying far more than the 228 lbs required for the heavyweight bracket of a future charity bout. Daily forty-five-minute treadmill sessions and oat-milk coffee sweetened with Truvia produced only a four-pound loss in ten weeks, while an autoimmune disorder clouded his right eye and required 20 mg of doxycycline for month-long stretches.

From Frustration to Keto-Carnivore Resolve

In late 2020 a Joe Rogan episode featuring Dr Shawn Baker planted a radical alternative in Ryan’s mind. He spent December studying the principles behind an all-animal, ultra-low-carbohydrate protocol, then entered World Keto-Carnivore Month on 1 January 2021. Within days hanger vanished, energy spiked, and clarity returned to both body and vision.

Rapid Body Recomposition and Renewed Vision

By month’s end Ryan was twenty-eight pounds lighter without ever counting calories. Even more surprising, his autoimmune eye symptoms quieted so completely that doxycycline refills gathered dust. The scale on his bathroom floor testified to a transformation faster than any weight-cut he had staged for past locker-room wagers.

Training for the Ring—No Carbs Required

Eager to test his new fuel system, Ryan registered for Haymakers 4 Hope, a white-collar amateur boxing event that raises money for cancer charities. Friends, coaches, and event coordinators insisted he would need pasta and sports gels to survive sparring. Instead he doubled down on rib-eyes, ground beef, bacon, salt, and water. He trained six days a week, never bonked, and hit the 228-pound limit with room to spare.

Fight Night and the Future

​Under the bright lights Ryan out-moved and out-lasted his opponent, winning by unanimous decision. Post-fight labs confirmed normal inflammation markers and stable vision—proof enough that he will never return to the carbohydrate carousel that once ruled his life. Today he mentors siblings and gym buddies through their own keto-carnivore transitions, confident that meat, fat, and steady determination offer a permanent route to metabolic freedom.

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.
