You Won't Believe What People Do To Lose Weight | Dr. Shawn Baker & Carrie Reedy
Carrie Reedy is a Nutritionist with specific training in low-carb eating through Nutrition Network. She works with many ladies in the lipedema community with dietary coaching and support. She takes a functional medicine/nutrition approach to healthcare, trying to understand what is going on in a person's system that needs extra love and attention to help them feel better. Carrie talks about transitioning from a typical Western diet based on the food pyramid and taking baby steps, first to low-carb, then trialling keto, and then figuring out the next steps based on a person's specific health concerns. This may be a trial of the carnivore diet but may be something else depending on their symptoms. Carrie believes that change can be hard and doing a straight 180 can be overwhelming for many people, so baby steps help create better habits and can allow us to make this a new lifestyle, rather than a fleeting fad.

With Doctors Like These, Who Needs Enemies? | Dr. Shawn Baker & Lasse
From Lasse: "Since I was 25 I've been suffering from what you would call debilitating migraine attacks at the scale of 15-25 days a month. (I'm now 35). I would have such severe headaches that the only form of remedy was sitting in a steaming hot shower with water running down my head for hours. The attacks also came with migraine auras such as paralyzing my right side of my torso, leg and arm, blinding my eye, zig zag lights, feeling of floating in the air, dizziness, ear pain and on the list goes. "I went through 4 MRI scans to rule out any form of stroke. I visited 8 different neurologists in 3 different countries to try and deal with it. Every neurologist prescribed me another form of medicine such as epilepsy meds, blood thinners and other forms of drugs which I honestly can't remember. Not a single drug helped me."

Rancher Benefits From The Carnivore Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker & Jeff Smith
Jeff Smith is an Oregon native and agricultural industry veteran that married into the ranching industry. He is a 2005 graduate of Colorado State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Business with minors in Finance and Accounting. He has worked across multiple sectors of agriculture including cattle, horses, chicken, hogs, seed, grain, flour, brewing, transportation, and many others in roles ranging from operations and sales to executive-level business management. He and his wife Kara own and operate Colorado Craft Beef, a direct-to-consumer beef business that is centered around Kara's family's 5 generation ranch that was homesteaded by her great-great-grandfather in 1913. Together Jeff and Kara combine their knowledge and expertise to provide the highest quality beef to a national audience with cattle that are raised by them personally, and shipped from the family ranch every Monday. Jeff debunks many myths about how cattle are treated and what they are treated with. He is passionate about regenerative ranching, grazing and farming, and how cattle impact the environment. He likes to break down the many confusing aspects of beef labeling and marketing, what each label means and what the consumer should look for. Also the nutritional differences of grass-fed, grass-finished and grain-fed cattle.
