Cheryl adopts a carnivore diet following years of struggling with disordered eating, anxiety, and depression. Switching to this new dietary routine drastically improves her physical and mental well-being.

From Sweets To Steaks, Breaking Free!! | Dr. Shawn Baker & Jim

Jim decided to shift from a standard American diet to a carnivore diet following a medical event - a stroke. This significant incident served as a wake-up call, leading Jim to reconsider his eating habits' health impacts. Jim shares that his current diet primarily consists of various types of meat, such as ribeyes, ground beef, pork, and chicken, complemented by eggs and occasional dairy items like butter and cheese. His narrative paints a compelling picture of how his dietary transformation has helped him shed excess weight, maintain steady energy levels, and boost his overall health to the extent of eliminating his dependence on specific medications. Throughout the conversation, the benefits and potential downsides of the carnivore diet are discussed, focusing on blood markers and cholesterol levels. Despite initial worries, Jim finds that his cholesterol levels are not only within healthy ranges but have also improved since he adopted the carnivore diet. Another topic brought up is the role of exercise, particularly in terms of its effectiveness in eliminating visceral fat. As the conversation winds down, Jim shares his philosophy on nutrition. He suggests a return to a more primitive way of eating, reflecting on what our diet would have looked like 100,000 years ago. He firmly believes that this approach promotes a biologically appropriate diet. In his case, this means eliminating processed foods and incorporating regular fasting periods. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Trailer and introduction. 00:01:33 Active kid, weight gain, tried different diets, had health complications, had a stroke. 00:07:47 Confusing information on diets, frustration with recommendations. 00:09:00 Switching to keto and carnivore diets helps.

They Demonize Meat To Sell Sugar | Dr. Shawn Baker & Kerry Mann

Kerry Mann Jr, age 42. He is finally the captain of his own ship! He has taken control of his health, lifestyle, and purpose. His journey on the carnivore diet, which he started 115 days ago, marked the beginning of a transformative period in his life. Having been on a strict lion diet for the last 27 days, Kerry has lost an impressive 47 lbs, and is only 13 lbs away from his goal of being 100 lbs lighter than his heaviest. Alongside his personal journey, Kerry is a veteran YouTuber of 8 years, creating content for his channel, HomesteadHow. His platform hosts over 500 videos, with his carnivore diet 30-day update drawing nearly 700,000 views. Kerry's gratification lies not in numbers, but in the life-changing impact his story has had on others who were once hopeless like him. The joy of seeing them regain control of their lives through the carnivore diet is the real reward. This diet, however, is more than a weight loss regimen for Kerry; it's a life transformation. Since adopting the carnivore lifestyle, he has bid goodbye to his arthritic foot pain, sleep apnea, acid reflux, and IBS. The diet also helped him overcome the crippling clinical depression and anxiety that none of the SSRIs seemed to alleviate. Gone are the days of walking around in a mental fog - Kerry is now full of life and vigor. Beyond personal triumphs, Kerry is committed to spreading the word about the benefits of the carnivore diet, not as a mandate, but as a testament to what it can do. He is currently in the process of producing a documentary on carnivore, aiming to shed light on real stories and real examples of people suffering from debilitating health issues, from obesity and depression to autoimmune disorders and diabetes. Already, hundreds of individuals have stepped forward to share their stories, and Kerry intends to help many more through this initiative, funded entirely through his own and public contributions. Adding to his personal testament is his 18-year-old daughter who started carnivore and reversed her 5 year battle with HS. His 15-year-old daughter, who after five years of veganism, started the carnivore diet 65 days ago and is already seeing the benefits. Together, Kerry and his daughters are evidence of the life-changing potential of the carnivore diet, and they are committed to sharing this journey with the world.
