She Was In Chronic Pain, Then She Tried The Carnivore Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker & Betty Pezzimenti
Betty has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which have impacted her whole life with joint dislocations starting at the age of 7. Despite multiple surgeries and years spent in a wheelchair, she has had multiple anaphylactic episodes. In 2021, she found herself bedridden and facing PAO surgery to fix her hip dysplasia when she decided to try the carnivore diet. Within two weeks, she was walking and off medication, and she canceled future procedures. Now, a year and a half later, she is pregnant and attributes her success to the diet. Before this, she was running a vegan catering business and had been eating plant-based while dealing with her chronic health issues. She has always been passionate about nutrition and studied it at university but realized how politicized and tunnel-visioned the teachings and policies can be. In 2021, she appeared on Dark Horse with Bret Weinstein to discuss her health issues and the failed and over-politicized healthcare system in Australia. https://www.instagram.com/bettyserahealth/ Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:41 Introduction 02:18 Bed-ridden in twenties 04:32 Food van 06:33 Mast cell activation syndrome 08:36 Digestive issues 11:29 Nerve blocks 13:24 Carnivore diet and genetic disorders 14:35 Veganism 16:35 Being in a wheelchair 18:10 Anorexia, restricting foods 19:56 Healing relationship with food 21:33 Fear of animal fats 23:09 Malnourishment 25:57 Vegetarian keto 29:40 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 31:55 Relationship with food 35:13 Food is medicine 36:34 Mental health on the carnivore diet 39:26 Shawn’s first experience with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 43:51 Betty’s pregnancy 48:10 Meat aversion during pregnancy 50:34 Where to find Betty See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . #revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree

Meat Put A Stop To Her Vegetarian Depression | Dr. Shawn Baker & Coach Lisa G
Coach Lisa G is a retired music educator, singer, dancer, long-distance runner, and fitness instructor. She has been active all her life and never had a weight problem until her teens. At age 16, she started down the path of restricting, binging, counting calories, over-exercising, and obsessing about food. She previously struggled with anxiety and depression. After YEARS of low carb AND low fat along with being a "vegetarian," she first found the ketogenic diet in 2014 and then the carnivore diet in 2021. The carnivore diet has helped immensely with reducing inflammation, belly bloat, post-menopausal issues, and mental health. Lisa is now a certified carnivore coach.
