Skin conditions

Martin battled severe psoriasis, IBS, psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune pain for decades. After countless failed diets and medications, he adopted a strict keto-carnivore way of eating on March 3. Within weeks his IBS vanished, joint pain plummeted and his skin began to clear. Ninety days later he was 35 lbs lighter, 95 % psoriasis-free, off every prescription and back on the ice playing hockey. He continues to gain strength and live pain-free.

A bilingual speech-language pathologist, author, actor and mother of three abandoned a six-year vegan experiment after severe digestive distress, premature aging, hormonal imbalance, neurological fog and metabolic decline. Re-embracing a keto-carnivore protocol focused on fatty meat, ample animal fat and strategic, minimal plant foods, she reversed ulcerative colitis–like gut issues, IBS, thyroid dysfunction, migraines, insulin resistance, skin and hair damage, mood swings and chronic fatigue. Now thriving at forty-two with stable weight, glowing skin, robust immunity and balanced cognition, she advocates keto-carnivore science and urges critical re-evaluation of plant-based dogma.

Mike, a firefighter and former college athlete from California, struggled with severe gastrointestinal issues, acne, and anxiety since childhood. His health worsened after a serious brain surgery in college and a later diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Despite trying gluten-free, paleo, and keto diets, he still suffered from bloating and digestive distress. In 2018, inspired by a Joe Rogan interview with Jordan Peterson, he adopted a strict keto-carnivore diet. Within days, his symptoms dramatically improved. Today, Mike thrives on a diet of red meat and eggs, credits the lifestyle with helping him recover from severe illness and injury, and reports complete resolution of his GI issues.

Francesco from Italy suffered from psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, and debilitating stomach pain for years despite trying elimination diets, medications, and paleo protocols. After his wife discovered Mikhaila Peterson's story about healing autoimmune disease with a meat-based diet, Francesco tried the keto-carnivore diet and experienced dramatic relief within one week, eliminating all pain while building 30 pounds of muscle.

Melissa adopted a keto-carnivore diet in 2016 while caring for her daughter, who was fighting brain cancer. After her daughter’s passing, Melissa used keto-carnivore to address her own endometrial cancer, conquer a lifelong sugar addiction, and regain vibrant energy at 66. When her husband Tom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2022, she insisted he join her. Six months of bacon, eggs, rib-eyes, and lamb erased his postoperative pain, restored lost muscle, and left both spouses healthier than before cancer entered their lives.

Michael, a 55-year-old long-haul trucker, banished crippling GERD, hand arthritis, depression and a lifetime of weight gain after switching from diner food to a strict keto-carnivore regimen. One year in, he has dropped from 284 lbs to the brink of his healthy goal, eats one steak-heavy meal a day from a portable grill in his cab and no longer needs daily antacids or pain relievers—even on grueling cross-country hauls.

Eric, 63, suffered a heart attack in 2007, hypertension, obesity, severe psoriasis, neuropathy, depression and “statin shuffle” until switching from a low-fat, plant-heavy diet to two years of low-carb-high-fat and then one full year of strict keto-carnivore eating. Every major symptom—chronic foot pain, psoriasis, facial redness, eye bags, bloating—vanished; triglycerides plummeted so dramatically that his cardiologist removed an 80 mg lifelong statin. Eric now works construction, hikes pain-free and is training to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail at 65.

Troy struggled with obesity, high blood pressure, heartburn, and eczema before discovering the keto-carnivore diet. After transitioning to this way of eating, he experienced dramatic health improvements, including better sleep, normalized blood pressure, and 120 pounds of weight loss. His chronic skin issues disappeared, and his energy levels soared. Troy is committed to the lifestyle and grateful for the keto-carnivore community that supported him.

Hans struggled with obesity, acne, and depression for years. After adopting a keto carnivore diet, he dropped from 105kg to 88kg, quit smoking, and now feels confident shirtless at the beach and is training to be a keto carnivore coach.
