He Lost A Toe, What He Did Next Changed His Life | Dr. Shawn Baker & Pierre
Pierre was born and lived in the UK until 1970, when he moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he stayed for 15 years. He returned to the UK from 1985 to 1992, then moved back to São Paulo, Brazil, until 1998. In 1998, he relocated to Fort Lauderdale, USA, and became a US citizen in 2006. He is now retired and lives near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Pierre’s wife is Brazilian. They married in Rio in January 1972 and recently celebrated their 53rd anniversary. They have three sons: the oldest are identical twins (45), and the youngest is 41. His youngest son served in the US Army Reserve and later in the US Airborne. They have five grandchildren so far. Pierre developed psoriasis in his early twenties, which worsened over time. He also experienced minor intestinal issues that gradually became more severe, leading to serious inflammation and infections. In 1993, he was diagnosed with diverticulitis, which he assumes is linked to autoimmune disorders. In 1999, Pierre underwent a successful sigmoid colon resection in the USA for diverticulitis. Post-surgery, he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). For 19 years, he followed ADA guidelines under the care of an endocrinologist, but his T2D progressed to the point where he required insulin. At his peak, he was taking 240 units of insulin daily, which contributed to his weight reaching 280 lbs (he is 5’7”). In November 2018, after watching videos by Dr. Jason Fung, Pierre adopted a low-carb, healthy fats diet, primarily keto, with intermittent fasting (16:8). Last year, he transitioned to a 98% carnivore diet, eliminating most plants. The results have been remarkable. Over the years, Pierre has lost approximately 98 lbs (with about 20 lbs left to lose), improved his eGFR, stabilized his psoriasis, and reduced his medications from 7-9 to just two: 10 mg Lisinopril and insulin as needed. His Triglyceride/HDL ratio improved from 4.78 to under 1, with triglycerides dropping from 220 to under 75 and HDL rising from 46 to the high 90s. Recently, Pierre struggled to keep his A1c below 6% without 50 units of insulin daily, which caused weight gain. Determined to reduce his insulin dependency, he joined Revero and is now under the care of Dr. Jarrouge, who has been incredibly supportive. While he has successfully reversed some weight gain, it’s clear that his pancreas has suffered over the years and can no longer produce sufficient insulin. As a result, he needs a baseline insulin dose to maintain an A1c of 6% or below.
