Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

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).

Having experimented with various diets, and experiencing a range of physical and mental health problems, Barbara found a transformative solution in the carnivore diet, backed by the teachings of Dr. Baker and others. Through this high-fat, zero-carb diet, she has kicked her sugar, carb, and alcohol addictions, while experiencing a resurgence in overall wellness - resolving issues like insomnia, digestive problems, and hormonal imbalances.

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.

Cassi was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in 2020 after living with symptoms for 12 years. Her health continued to deteriorate, and in 2021, she discovered she was battling mold, Bartonella, Mycoplasma, Lyme, and parasites. She contracted Covid in 2022 and afterwards, developed dysbiosis and was left with SIBO. Her doctor presented her with two options - adopting a carnivore diet or opting for expensive pharmaceuticals that may not work and would most likely be denied by insurance. She embarked on the Carnivore diet with the aim of correcting her gut health, and given the improvement of her arthritis symptoms, she has maintained this diet ever since.

Eye physician and surgeon, Chris A. Knobbe, MD, had been in practice nearly 20 years when, in 2013, he asked himself the question, “Could macular degeneration be a ‘Westernized disease’? Could AMD be a disease that is the result of a Westernized diet?” That question would forever change his life. Dr. Knobbe began his practice of ophthalmology in 1994, after completing his residency training at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, in Denver, Colorado, USA. He was certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1997 and has remained board-certified since then.
