Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

Ashley is the creator and administrator of the Facebook group Keto MS. Ashley was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2019. She has been asymptomatic since she started Dr. Eric Westman's 'Page 4' diet. She unintentionally transitioned to carnivore and has seen even more improvements in her health. Ashley's neurologist is astonished by her overall improvements both in her health and her MRIs. In 2008, she graduated with her bachelor's degree in Organizational Management, Summa Cum Laude. Ashley also has two associate degrees. One in Health Services Management and the other in Dental Hygiene. Her passion is to help others find the path to autoimmune remission, as she did, without pharmaceuticals.

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 ‪

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. Her goal is to help others with some of the issues that have affected her life.

Nathan is 47 years old, married, and a father of 3. A decent high school athlete, he was always a hard gainer. He was a lightly recruited basketball player in TX but started gaining muscle weight when he went to college. He dropped out after some financial issues during his senior year and joined the Army in 1999. After learning Arabic, he got to Ft. Bragg just before 9/11 and spent the next 8 years going back and forth to Afghanistan and Iraq as a member of Delta Force. He left the Army in 2010, finished college, took a couple of MMA fights, and then served 5 years as an operative in the US Intelligence community. He left that in 2015 and has owned a couple of consulting businesses and done government-related Independent Contracting since then. He does some health and wellness coaching on the side. He has always worked out, stayed fit, and he was a stand-out "military athlete." He ate whatever he wanted, and stayed "fit" but dealt with injuries and "aging" related issues. Adult acne, radial neuropathy, premature balding, skin tags, signs of inflammation (gingivitis, tinnitus, plantar fasciitis, etc.). He found keto in 2016 and was blown away. He went carnivore in 2019 and was even further blown away. He was intensely sick and didn't know it until he had the benefit of hindsight with zero-carb. In August 2022, he developed Gullian-Barre Syndrome. They told him he'd be an inpatient for 6-8 weeks, do inpatient physical therapy for 3-4 months, and then do outpatient physical therapy for however long it took to regain the movement, feeling, strength, and endurance that he'd lost (assuming he ever regained it). He walked out of the hospital 2 weeks after he entered under his own power. He went to his first outpatient PT appointment the next day and the doctor told him not to come back because he couldn't do anything for him. It took a few weeks for some residual numbness to disappear, but he feels back to new. Some people think his diet put him in the hospital, but he knows his diet got him out faster than anyone on his treatment team could fathom.
