Metabolic conditions

Amanda suffered 10 years of mysterious symptoms including flu-like episodes, severe diarrhea, vomiting, brain fog, and eventually stroke-like symptoms from a massive migraine with seizure in 2020 that left her nearly non-functional and temporarily blind. After failed treatments and SIBO diagnosis with limited keto success, she started the carnivore diet in February 2022. Within 12 days her visual symptoms and head pressure disappeared, MRI showed normalized brain arteries, and she recovered enough to return to work and become a carnivore and fasting coach.

Nick, a man in his 50s from the UK, gradually gained weight from his mid-30s, reaching over 260 pounds by following a Standard American Diet with up to a bottle of wine nightly. Suffering from high blood pressure, bloating, and snoring so severe his wife had to sleep separately, he first cut refined sugars then transitioned to carnivore eating. He lost 88 pounds, eliminated snoring within 3 weeks, normalized blood pressure, and gained 14 pounds of muscle while dramatically increasing his strength in just 6 months of weightlifting.

Misty struggled with lifelong eczema, high blood pressure, and weight gain after starting drinking at 17. After limited success with keto, she discovered the carnivore diet through Dr. Paul Saladino in October 2019. Despite a difficult transition when combining carnivore with intermittent fasting, she achieved remarkable results over a year: eczema nearly eliminated, normal blood pressure, no medications needed, and improved sex drive.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at seventeen, Joe initially followed conventional guidelines—eat anything and match with insulin—only to gain thirty pounds and struggle with erratic blood sugars. After discovering Dr. Bernstein’s low-carb approach and a supportive online community, he shifted to a strict keto-carnivore lifestyle. The change brought his A1C to 5.0, stabilized mood and energy, and let him thrive through college, study abroad, competitive sports, and a demanding career. Now twenty-three, Joe champions keto-carnivore living to show that type 1 diabetes need not limit a full, active life.

Jacie transformed her life through the keto-carnivore diet, healing from debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder, pre-diabetes, cystic acne, and chronic joint pain. After struggling with crippling OCD for over a decade despite medication, she discovered the keto-carnivore approach in January 2020 as a 30-day reset. Within two weeks, her intrusive thoughts diminished, and she experienced complete resolution of her physical symptoms. Now medication-free and training for a bikini competition, Jacie credits keto-carnivore eating with giving her the confidence and health to live her dreams.

Laura, a nurse with over 20 years of experience, transformed her health through a keto-carnivore diet after initially losing 150 pounds on keto. Facing diabetes at 300 pounds with triglycerides over 1000, she first discovered success with ketogenic eating. However, menopause brought new challenges including cystic acne, joint pain, and inflammation. Transitioning to keto-carnivore resolved her anxiety, depression, and skin issues while simplifying her approach to nutrition. Her personal healing journey now influences her professional practice, helping patients understand the therapeutic potential of animal-based nutrition.

Independent filmmaker Bjorn, 48, once fueled his Alaskan fat-bike expeditions with candy bars and energy gels—until metabolic-syndrome labs, weight gain, and a chronically swollen knee forced change. Embracing an ancestral, low-carb approach that evolved into a keto-carnivore lifestyle built on wild salmon, Dall sheep, moose, caribou, and intermittent fasting, he reversed every abnormal marker, shed excess fat, eliminated knee pain, and now travels longer in the wilderness on a single meat-heavy meal each day.

Jacob’s carbohydrate addiction drove his weight to 200 lbs on a 5-foot frame and his A1C to a life-threatening 14. After rejecting intensive insulin therapy, he moved from keto to a strict keto-carnivore lifestyle, restored his A1C to normal, lost the excess fat, rebuilt energy, and now enjoys vibrant health at 36.

Lutheran pastor Matt of Kingsford, Michigan, shed more than 100 pounds, normalized blood pressure, eliminated sleep-apnea symptoms, erased brain fog, and eased anxiety and depression after adopting a strict keto-carnivore lifestyle in 2019. The dramatic improvement in both physical and mental clarity deepened his spiritual work and inspired parishioners to support—and sometimes join—his meat-based way of eating.
