Overcoming Anxiety and PTSD with Steaks | Dr. Shawn Baker & Chad (Combat Carnivore)

Oct 3, 2024
50:24

Chad is a father of 4, veteran, an athlete, and martial artist in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community and he has gone carnivore in the last year.

It has saved his life. He has a ten year long story of mental and physical agony which has been resolved through carnivore. Every ailment one can possibly think of. Panic Disorder, phobias, PTSD, flu like symptoms almost every time he ate, doctors throwing him on ridiculous medications, weight gain and loss left and right, random bouts of what he can only describe as schizophrenia, extreme joint pain, and so much more. He couldn't even drive himself for a while or be alone in certain places because his frequent panic attacks were so severe. He felt like he was basically crippled and he was so embarrassed of who he was. Nonstop brain fog and exhaustion. He used to beg and pray for just 1 hour of mental clarity. One hour to feel normal. He wanted to die for so long.

He knows many other veterans experience this too and they feel so trapped.

Now he is competing at a high level as a Black Belt and owner of an Academy. His Instagram has almost 14k followers and he has started a new YouTube channel that he intends to grow rapidly (he used to have a large channel that he took down when he worked for the government).

He would like to use his influence and this new channel to try and get as many people from the Jiu Jitsu community and the military/veteran community on the carnivore diet. He believes it will save lives. He lives in a huge military city, and he has a big voice in the Jiu Jitsu community. He believes these communities need this message. Especially veterans who are suffering and he can be that transition voice to reach them.
