She Was Struggling, Then She Tried Carnivore | Dr. Shawn Baker & Alia
Alia's experience with health issues and her journey to recovery is both compelling and inspiring. She suspects she suffered from endometriosis, a condition characterized by menstrual irregularities. Her struggles extended to sleep disturbances, intense food cravings, persistent back pain, and an unhealthy obsession with food and weight, leading to obesity. Remarkably, a c-section scar that troubled her for five years, causing itchiness and sometimes producing pus, began to heal within two months of adopting a carnivore diet. Furthermore, this dietary change has significantly alleviated her dermatitis, a condition that caused her immense discomfort for many years. While it's not completely resolved, the pain and symptoms are much more manageable. Alia notes that this lifestyle shift has not only brought physical relief but also rekindled her zest for life, indicating a profound impact on her overall well-being.

What The Carnivore Diet Did To Her Kidneys | Dr. Shawn Baker & Ira Sahay
Ira Sahay is a Metabolic Health Coach based in Mumbai, India. She serves as the Media Head and is a member of dLife.in, India's largest and only award-winning low-carb platform. In 2021, Ira was diagnosed with a life-threatening autoimmune kidney disease called Membranous Nephropathy. This condition caused her to leak 7635 mg/dl of protein (proteinuria), leading to significant hair loss, reduced skin firmness, and muscle mass depletion due to the severe protein loss through her kidneys. At that time, kidney transplantation seemed inevitable. Despite seeking answers from medical professionals, Ira found none that satisfied her. Consequently, she delved into research and, contrary to medical advice to limit protein intake for her kidney condition, she adopted a strict Carnivore diet. Remarkably, within a year, Ira's condition improved dramatically. Upon reevaluation by the same doctor at the same hospital, it was noted on her prescription that her Membranous Nephropathy had spontaneously gone into remission. Today, Ira is dedicated to helping patients, particularly those with autoimmune disorders, while also effectively assisting individuals suffering from metabolic syndromes such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, PCOS, and Fatty Liver. She has observed remarkable outcomes from the Carnivore diet in her clients. Known as "Low Carb Healer" on Twitter, she can be reached at her handle - @TheIraSahay.
