Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen are the co-hosts of the Discover Ag docu-series as well as the popular podcast Discover Ag. Collectively they have been advocating for agriculture online on various social media platforms for over 10 years. Together they have fostered a community of over 220k, spoken on stages across the nation and globe, and empowered a community to reconnect to the agriculture industry and the hands that feed us. From the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills, Natalie shares her ranching and familying story online to showcase the beauty behind the western lifestyle as well as foster a community that supports and trusts in Agricultural as much as she does. She and her husband (and their 3 boys) own and operate Kovarik Cattle Co, a cow-calf operation with a growing registered herd where she spends the majority of her days collecting meaningful moments on the ranch bouncing around in a dusty old tractor or out in pasture on horseback. She has created an online community of over 130K, created an apparel line that gave back to ag foundations, spoken on ag stages, hosted business retreats for the ag community and co-founded Elevate Ag an online course for producers to learn to effectively use social media to share their story. Tara is a New Mexico native, 5th generation dairy farmer, an environmental scientist, and mom of two girls. Daniel, her husband, manages all day-to-day on his family dairy farm while Tara has her own career as an environmental consultant, speaker, online agriculture advocate, and podcaster. Tara has had the opportunity to speak at national and global conferences about dairy sustainability including at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Committee on World Food Security and the Forbes AgTech Summit. As well as being the co-host of Discover Ag Tara is also the co-founder of Elevate Ag, an online course to provide farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to successfully share their ag story and grow their businesses.

Douglas is a sixty-seven-year-old retired healthcare professional who embarked on a successful weight loss journey after his mother's death. He lost around 70 pounds following a low-carb, intermittent fasting, and OMAD diet. Despite having normal A1C levels, his doctor insists he's diabetic due to his fasting glucose level. During this time, he was diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer and discovered a paraganglioma. After surgery and a challenging chemotherapy regimen, which included extended water-only fasts, his bladder and prostate were removed. Concurrently, he discovered a tumor on his right adrenal gland. The tumor was significantly reduced on Valentine's Day 2023. He currently follows a 90% carnivorous diet to help his adrenal gland recover and looks forward to his latest hormonal panel and CMP results.

Aaron is a husband and father of eight children. In his mid-forties, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and was advised to take statin drugs. Despite dieting on and off for years, he had no real success in managing his conditions and kept getting sicker. When he searched the internet for help, he discovered that type 2 diabetes is a reversible disease, which surprised him since his doctor had never informed him of this. He became motivated to reverse his condition and that's when he found the carnivore diet. Within six months of following the carnivore diet, he had reversed his diabetes, lost over 30 pounds, and reversed his hypertension. As time passed, the list of benefits kept growing. Now, over a year later as of March 2023, he feels compelled to share his experience with others who might be in a similar situation. He has lost over 50 pounds and has been able to maintain a 5-day-a-week exercise routine despite his physically demanding job.

Dave has had a physically demanding life, starting with an early focus on fitness in various forms including running, swimming, wrestling, and martial arts. He served in the United States Army as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division for six years from the age of 19, and subsequently spent 32 years in Southern California as a bodyguard in executive protection. During the 90s, he co-founded a bounty-hunting business capitalizing on California's new three-strikes law. Dave protected numerous high-profile figures, from celebrities to Saudi royal family members and CEOs. Despite being dedicated to fitness, by his late 50s, Dave began to struggle with joint pain and weight gain due to long working hours and a lack of energy. He tried numerous diets with limited success until discovering the carnivore diet via Dr. Shawn Baker's YouTube channel. This lifestyle change brought him relief from inflammation and joint pain, and helped him lose significant weight. Despite skeptical reactions from others about his unconventional diet, he feels better than he has in decades and has no plans to revert back to the Standard American Diet (SAD).

In 2015, Rick, suffering from high blood pressure and poor metabolic health, was put on medication. He later developed aggressive prostate cancer and underwent surgery. Despite being cancer-free, his metabolic health worsened, nearing obesity and showing signs of diabetes. Rick decided to overhaul his diet, transitioning to a ketogenic, then a near-carnivorous diet, following his son's successful weight control regime. His health improved dramatically: he lost 85 pounds, his blood glucose normalized, his hypertension was controlled without medication, and his gout and lactose intolerance disappeared. Despite initial weight loss leading to a slower metabolism, adjusting his meal frequency and focusing on protein intake helped maintain his health. Rick now has a healthier lifestyle, is tested for cancer twice yearly, and attributes his improved health primarily to dietary changes.

Coach Josh K, currently 29 years old, resides in the Des Moines, IA area but originally hails from Sioux City. Josh is a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, employed in a skilled nursing/long-term care setting. During his upbringing, he struggled with obesity, adhering to the standard American diet until his early 20s, which led him to reach a weight of up to 330 lbs. Josh's health began deteriorating around the age of 20, experiencing symptoms such as sleep apnea, lightheadedness, dyspnea, anxiety, and low self-esteem. However, as he matured, he started making better choices, adopting a whole food diet. Despite successfully shedding excess weight, he discovered that not all his health issues improved. He continued to suffer from worsening thoracic spine arthritis pain, increased occurrences of low back nerve impingement and radicular pain, energy fluctuations, and gastrointestinal bloating and gas problems. Driven by a desire to find a solution, Josh initially turned to the ketogenic diet. Shortly after, he transitioned to a carnivorous diet, which proved to be transformative. With this dietary shift, he experienced minimal pain, a consistent and steady energy level, and relief from gas and bloating issues. Moreover, he noticed improved exercise performance and an increase in muscle mass, serving as additional benefits to his overall well-being.
