Plant-Based Did Her Career In | Dr. Shawn Baker & Nicole

Nicole was at her heaviest, about 85 lbs overweight, weighing around 200lbs and standing at just 5' tall. Due to her obesity, she was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and high blood pressure. After multiple surgeries on her right knee, she was diagnosed with chronic bursitis, arthritis, and tendonitis in that knee. She also struggled with digestive issues, experiencing bloating and gas, and grappled with depression and anxiety stemming from the loss of her brother when she was just 11 years old. Now, about 7 months into her low-carb journey, she is pain-free and exudes more confidence than ever before. She no longer suffers from depression or anxiety, experiences no gas or bloating, and claims to feel better in her 40s than she did in her 20s and 30s. She has lost about 65 lbs and has become a certified nutrition specialist. Despite her training, she now promotes a low-carb approach. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Trailer and introduction. 00:02:58 Lazy habits led to veganism and weight loss. 00:06:09 Vegan shortcuts led to binge eating tendencies. 00:09:04 I overcame knee problems and proved them wrong. 00:11:09 Switching to low carb improved knee pain. 00:15:55 Vegan diet caused weight gain, switched to low carb. 00:19:16 No longer bloated, feel lighter mentally. 00:20:52 Hard time with fat intake, mental adjustment. 00:24:21 Rejected military re-entry due to medical history. 00:28:39 Changing mindset, strategy for emotional/physical hunger. 00:30:14 Raw meat diet for cats. 00:32:59 Changed diet, improved joints, thankful for education. 00:37:13 Sleep apnea, obesity, neglectful health advice, hypertension. 00:40:39 Where to find Nicole.

This Is Controversial | Dr. Shawn Baker & Chad (Minimalist Carnivore)

Chad is 60 years old and has been on the carnivore diet for over 3.5 years, and Keto for 1 year before that. He has been married for over 24 years with a wonderful wife and 2 great kids ages 14 and 19. They currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona. Now that he is back in shape, he enjoys living a healthier and happier life. He can now revisit his passions like backpacking and bike riding. Before he became significantly overweight, his younger years were filled with activity. In his early 20s, he taught snowboarding and, for 8 years, he taught scuba diving for 15 years until his early 40s, primarily on Lanai, Maui, and in the Caribbean. He was the typical lean and fit scuba/beach guy weighing 178 lbs. Being young and highly active, he could indulge in any food of his choice. He often consumed excessive amounts of rice, sugary teriyaki sauce, and other sugary treats, although he also ate plenty of fish and fresh meat. Unfortunately, he developed a lung problem due to volcanic gases, which forced him to move to the mainland. His activity levels decreased, his dietary habits worsened, and he could no longer pursue hunting or fishing. He gained weight and stopped monitoring his weight when he reached 275 lbs, frustrated by his deteriorating condition. This led to a period of depression. He tried various diets, including green juicing, but none seemed to work. While the Keto diet improved how he felt, it didn't help him lose weight. He often found himself consuming too many "substitute" foods which didn't help him break old eating habits. Then, he discovered the Carnivore diet, and it transformed his life. In the first year of his carnivore journey, he returned to his former weight of 178 lbs, reminiscent of his 20s and 30s. For the subsequent 2.5 years, he has effortlessly maintained this weight: always satiated, never falling ill, and exercising with impressive recovery rates. All the benefits he'd heard about the Carnivore diet proved true for him. In addition to the weight loss, the severe allergies he had even in his younger years have now completely disappeared, which he finds nothing short of miraculous. His persistent sinusitis has also vanished, and he no longer experiences joint pain. Today, he leads a highly active life, and his sleep quality has drastically improved. He wakes up naturally with the sunrise, something he couldn't do before. He often remarks that he started the Carnivore diet for weight loss but continues because of the rejuvenating benefits it offers. His next venture is to focus on building strength and muscle at 60 years of age. He plans to work out with "intention", and embark on a biweekly, year-long fun YouTube challenge named "carnivore strong" alongside two other Carnivore YouTube acquaintances. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Trailer and introduction. 00:01:28 Tried Keto, found carnivore, lost weight. 00:06:13 Obesity led to mental and physical anguish. 00:09:25 Married with kids, battled depression, tried diets. 00:15:01 Video cover: I changed my meat preferences over time. 00:17:20 Transitionary food can be helpful, but beware of overindulging. 00:20:15 Successful weight loss, despite gallbladder removal. 00:22:52 Carnivore diet without gallbladder. 00:28:21 Finding proper diet and nutrients for success. 00:30:58 Feeling great, no joint pain, healthy lifestyle. 00:33:12 Longevity increased due to disease prevention, hygiene. 00:36:05 Learning from patients, accessing knowledge from experts. 00:40:39 Chaffles got boring. Steak is preferred.  00:43:19 Oreo cookies and ultra-processed food. 00:46:16 Carnivore YouTube channel growth. 00:50:51 Where to find Chad.
