Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

Dr. Ryan Attar is a Naturopathic Physician & Nutritionist currently practicing in Fairfield, Connecticut. Dr. Attar has also been living with T1 diabetes since 2007. He was diagnosed while serving in the US Army, where he advanced to the rank of Captain.  After his diagnosis he was medically retired from the Army, and became frustrated with the way diabetes is managed by nearly all doctors. He began to educate himself on health, nutrition and diabetes, and saw his blood sugars normalize to non-diabetic levels.  He is an advocate for the low carbohydrate management of diabetes, and follows the method of Dr. Richard Bernstein, who he had the opportunity to shadow with as a student. Dr. Attar's frustration with the standard management of diabetes inspired him to change careers and go back to school first for a master's in human nutrition, followed by a doctorate in naturopathic medicine.  Dr. Attar has been exploring the carnivore diet for the past 3 years, and feels his health has never been better. Most notably, thyroid antibodies and TSH both lowered since following a carnivore diet. He recommends this way of eating to many of his patients.  Dr. Attars other interests including jiujitsu (currently a blue belt), CrossFit, and traveling (having been to 75 countries).  Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 05:11 Type 1 diabetes diagnosis 11:48 Cutting carbs 15:46 Managing type 1 diabetes 19:25 Different types of insulin 23:55 Exercise and blood glucose 26:16 Dosing insulin 30:51 LDL and diabetes 36:01 Endocrinologists and normalization of blood sugar 40:49 Hypoglycemia 44:23 Getting patients on the carnivore diet 48:38 Cheating on the carnivore diet 53:50 Type 1 diabetics on carnivore diet Website: www.DrAttar.com TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@drryanattar YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/DrRyanAttar Twitter: twitter.com/ryanattar Facebook: www.facebook.com/AttarND Instagram: www.instagram.com/drryanattar/ 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  ‪

From Claire: I am 66 years young, and have 4 adult children, 11 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.  I am blessed!  I live in the Bay of Plenty Tauranga New Zealand. My health issues really began in my early years.  I grew up on a high carb/sugar diet and eventually learned to control my weight with calorie restriction sometimes as low as 700 calories a day.  My weight would fluctuate between 7 1/2  to 9 1/2 stone during my 20’s – 40’s.  I realize now my body was starving for nutrients, and I was continually hungry. I became interested in healthy eating during my 20’s and by my 30’s I developed gut issues like bloating and discomfort, then developed acid reflux during my pregnancies which continued afterwards. I tried to heal these stomach issues by introducing more healthy foods like home-made yogurt, home -made bread (including grinding my own flour from grain) and eliminating refined sugar and ate low fat.  This helped for a while.  But as I got older I found I had to eliminate many more foods. Firstly coffee, then  gluten and some vegetables.    I included meat in my diet as I did not agree with the vegan philosophy, which began with Seventh Day Adventist ideology which totally ignores much of Scripture where God approves the eating of meat.  However I generally ate meat in small portions. By 2020 I was having to eliminate many more foods as my adverse reaction to many foods was increasing. I had now eliminated everything except, rice, rice-cakes, eggs, broccoli, capsicum, fish, and meat. My symptoms intensified until I finally developed microscopic colitis.   I lost a lot of weight although I was already thin.  I became very concerned as although I tried to function normally, not wanting to tell anyone of my embarrassing condition, I could not leave the house unless I had not eaten at least 6 hours prior. Finally after months of trying to remedy it on my own I went to the Dr and was tested for giardia, and for any bacterial infection.  He did blood tests also, but nothing was revealed. Eventually my doctor suspected microscopic colitis.  I did not want to go on steroid medication and told my Dr I would like to try to find another solution first.  I didn't know how I was going to achieve this, but while in the supermarket during my weekly shop I was suddenly aware of the fact that there was nothing there I could eat.  So I prayed desperately right there (silently) and said "God what can I eat?"  As I was leaving with an empty trolley, I felt ‘impressed’ to go back and buy a cooked chicken.  It did not appeal to me as I felt nauseous, but I purchased it anyway.   Over the next couple of days I forced myself to eat it, but I still felt so sick.  However it got me thinking that if God had indeed impressed on me to buy it,  then it was for good reason.  So I began researching about meat which thankfully led me to discover Carnivore eating. I began eating just meat and rice, thinking I needed the carbs for energy as I  suddenly developed extreme fatigue.  But after two weeks I decided to stop the rice and do Carnivore properly.  Amazingly....within 24 hours my chronic symptoms ceased.  Just stopped!  I could not believe it!    Since then I have learned the benefit of including more fat, salt and the inclusion of magnesium via foot soaks to relieve leg cramps.   I thrive on fatty lamb,  and eat some beef each day.  At this stage I don't eat butter but would like to include it again soon. During the 6 months I've been fully carnivore I've had one flare-up with symptoms when I introduced egg yolk back into my diet.  So I quickly eliminated that.  My fatigue is gone and most days I feel great.  I'd say I am 95% healed,  and am hopeful the Raynaud’s symptoms I have will heal too.

Avi is a General Practitioner, or family doctor, working in Melbourne, Australia. She has been a GP for 20 years and worked in the same clinic for over 15 years. She loves her job and looks after families, coughs, colds, diabetes, metabolic diseases, cancers, basically anything that comes into the door.  Her journey started when her kids started to get older and she joined the gym to try to lose weight and get fit about 7 years ago. She started going to the gym, also took up running. She has since ran 2 full marathons. She joined the local gym for an 8 week body transformation challenge. The gym coach prescribed a set diet in which she had to measure a certain protein, carb and fat ratio. This made her lose fat and was basically a low carb diet.  Since then, she has looked into science. She did a Low Carb for physician course by Low Carb Down Under and also courses by Nutrition Network and read many books. She also connected with others with similar interests such as Tracey McBeath, health coach. They set up a support group called Low Carb Melbourne. She has been a speaker for Tracey's Low Carb Lifestyle Long Weekend, telling her story.   With work, I have been prescribing a low carb or keto lifestyle to my patients. I have reversed diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome and other chronic conditions. Patients feel better, gain more energy and lose weight.  At the moment, she is studying with ACNEM (Australasian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine) and hoping to become a fellow in that college. She has learnt to prescribe lifestyle medicine, especially nutrition, to improve her patients' health.

Josephine (a.k.a. @theexplanteater) is a 27 year-old ex-vegan and has recently healed ulcerative colitis after transitioning to the carnivore diet after 14 years of veganism. She became vegan at the age of 13 and stubbornly continued with it for the following 14 years, dealing with continual and worsening digestive issues, mental health issues, premature aging, lack of energy, and hormonal imbalances. She finally considered including animal products again last May to see if it would help her colitis and was shocked to find that within a few weeks her severe colitis symptoms had healed (this was while taking no medication). Seeing the healing power of eating these foods led her down the rabbit hole of research, which led to her finding people like Dr. Baker and the carnivore diet, and she has since fine-tuned her diet to continually heal her digestive issues as well as the other issues veganism left her with. She hasn’t had a colitis flare up since June of last year, medication free, which is incredibly relieving seeing as her worst flare up almost killed her. She's now a pretty outspoken advocate for the carnivore diet with a very critical view of veganism.  Find her on IG: @theexplanteater Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 03:00 Blood in stool; fatigue; daily low fevers; diverticulitis 05:30 Ulcerative colitis diagnosis 08:32 Doctors and diet 13:29 Reflexes on veganism 16:51 Faux meats 17:56 Low-fiber vegan diet 22:13 Most triggering colitis on vegan diet 22:58 Disputing veganism 24:48 Animals that die for plant foods 27:45 “You were never vegan” 29:10 Crops fed to animals 30:00 Going back to veganism 30:57 Lapsed vegans, chegans 32:26 Going from vegan to carnivore instead of omnivore 33:36 Red meat and ulcerative colitis 35:42 Ex plant eater on Instagram 38:12 Diet and family 39:30 Supplementing on the vegan diet 41:42 Ethical conflict of interest 42:33 Meat and vegan propaganda 43:25 Carnivore diet is not dogmatic 46:30 Easy to be vegan in New York 49:33 Reincorporating plants 50:35 Vegan messaging 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  ‪

Jeff and Michelle grew up in sunny Southern California and moved their family to the mountains of beautiful Bozeman, Montana in 2019. Jeff worked in the food service distribution industry for over 10 years. Michelle worked as a Vet Tech part time and stayed home with our 2 amazing boys, Grayson (9) and Hudson (8). They desired a change for their lives but didn’t know what that looked like for their family until Michelle had the crazy & wonderful idea of leaving the busy life in suburban California for the slower pace of ranch life in Montana. Michelle rode horseback in the Big Sky mountains as a child and loved every minute of it. Jeff had a love for great food from an early age and dreamed of being a chef.  They combined Jeff’s food industry knowledge and entrepreneurial drive with Michelle’s animal science background, and Belcrest Farms was born.  There has been as steep learning curve getting into the Agriculture industry but they feel very thankful to be a part of the community.  They finish black Angus steers on their cattle property, 15 minutes outside of Bozeman, and sell the beef direct to consumers in their valley and all over the US. Their goal as first generation ranchers is to give you peace of mind at the dinner table with their All Natural Ranch Raised Montana Beef. For the people they serve to know them and trust that they have their best interest at heart, as well as the animals they raise. No added hormones. No antibiotics. From birth to butcher 100% Montana-raised beef. Belcrest Farms beef is Grass-fed & Barley-finished.
