Metabolic conditions

Alicea, a 52-year-old from Northern California, spent decades trapped in bulimia, binge–purge cycles, and carb addiction. Multiple stints with diet pills, plant-based eating, and even standard keto failed to quiet her constant food obsession. After hearing Dr. Shawn Baker on a podcast in September 2020, she quietly shifted to a strict keto-carnivore approach. Within weeks her sugar cravings vanished, joint pain and depression eased, and her recovery time after workouts became “ridiculously quick.” Today she maintains 18 % body fat at 145 pounds, eats two hearty meat-focused meals a day, and says the compulsive urge to overeat is completely gone.

Angela went from bed-bound, 89 lbs, and fainting up to 15 times a day to hiking the world and coaching others after adopting a strict keto-carnivore diet. Centering meals on ruminant meat stopped anaphylaxis, histamine storms, mast-cell flares, gastroparesis, anxiety, and depression. Today, at 105 lbs with normal inflammatory markers, she treats Lyme disease as “in remission,” runs a holistic practice, and prepares for solo travel across Europe.

Rachel, 30, switched from a carb-heavy diet to keto-carnivore in March 2022 after depression, panic attacks, joint pain and severe heartburn left her exhausted at 236 lbs. In six months she shed 80 lbs, ended heartburn, slept better and stopped anxiety medication. Her seven-year-old autistic daughter, also on a keto-carnivore plan, now speaks more clearly, expresses needs and has fewer mood swings; any return to sugar brings back irritability.

Sondra followed a vegetarian diet for 14 years hoping to heal childhood allergies, asthma, and eczema, but instead developed reactive hypoglycemia, worsened eczema, gluten intolerance, and IBS. After trying paleo and keto with limited success, she discovered the carnivore diet at age 57. Combined with OMAD for post-menopausal weight management, she achieved mental clarity, eliminated joint pain, and can now enjoy hiking pain-free.

Jamie, nearly 49, spent years fruitarian and then ketogenic but still woke with aching joints and midday fatigue. After shifting to a strict keto-carnivore diet three years ago, his joint pain vanished, he now outlifts his twenty-something self, maintains a steady 180 lbs at 5’11”, and enjoys clear thinking, efficient digestion, and all-day energy while running a wine shop in Tokyo.

Lindsay replaced a sugary, alcohol-heavy diet with keto, then shifted to a strict keto-carnivore approach alongside her boyfriend. In one year she dropped from 150 lbs to 115 lbs, erased daily anxiety, cleared stubborn acne, and now runs and lifts without shin splints or fatigue. Occasional CBD has replaced constant reliance, and shared meals have strengthened her relationship.

Dovile battled cystic acne, daily bloating and evening exhaustion despite years on a high-fat, vegetable-laden diet. After switching to a strict keto-carnivore approach she lost all digestive pain, her skin cleared completely, her energy soared into the early morning hours and she now trains with faster recovery and no cravings.

Fernanda, a Brazilian physician, battled lifelong cystic acne, asthma, depression and chronic fatigue despite countless prescriptions and nine years of vegetarian and vegan eating. After a brief low-carb phase she shifted to a strict keto-carnivore diet; within a month her skin cleared, energy surged, mood lifted and inhaler use vanished. Nose-to-tail meals now keep her strong, happy and medication-free.

Raymond's transformative 7-year keto-carnivore journey began at age 46 with prediabetes (A1C 6.0) and 252 pounds. After initially failing on keto-carnivore due to adaptation symptoms, he successfully transitioned and achieved remarkable health improvements. His A1C dropped to 5.7, he lost 60 pounds reaching 192 pounds, and experienced complete remission of multiple chronic conditions including severe diverticulitis, frequent UTIs, monthly colds, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs. Additional improvements included elimination of acne, dandruff, sinus infections, snoring, sleep apnea, skin tags, dry skin, and rosacea, plus restoration of morning erections. Following alternate day fasting (32-40 hours) and eating primarily untrimmed ribeye beef, Raymond transformed from a sedentary lifestyle to intense workouts including Orange Theory Fitness, Shotokan Karate, and Jiu Jitsu, often in fasted states exceeding 30 hours. His strength and endurance continue improving as he tightens his diet to ribeye and salt.
