Stand Up For Yourself | Dr. Shawn Baker & Tabitha
From Tabitha: My name is Tabitha Myers and I reside in the Lake Norman area, a suburb of Charlotte, NC. I’m 47 and I’ve been married for 25 years, this month, to my best friend and biggest supporter. We have three fur babies. I work full time as a real estate asset manager. I self discovered I was pre-diabetic in 2014 at a “normal” weight after juicing and eating vegetarian. At the same time my father-in-law was battling stage 3 colon cancer and I became a student on metabolic disease. My mother was also a type two diabetic. I read many books, watch documentaries, and listened to countless podcasts soaking up as much information as I could. That’s when I decided to do a ketogenic diet for myself. In August of 2020, I ended up in the ER with severe abdominal pain. Within 24 hours I had emergency surgery for a ruptured colon, had my sigmoid colon removed, and an ileostomy in place. All thought to be diverticulitis. Two weeks later pathology relieved stage 3 colon cancer with positive lymph nodes. The same cancer we lost my father-in-law to in 2017. I refused chemo and any other treatments beyond surgery. I used combined natural therapies along with therapeutic ketosis to heal. My diet consists of mostly animal foods and animal fats. The more plants I eliminate the better I feel. Today, no test show any active cancer whatsoever and I’m thriving, living a high quality life. I hope my story can help others.

How To Rock It On The Carnivore Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker & Lauri
From Lauri: From the time I was very young, I remember my extremities hurting if someone would grab me by the arm or jump on my legs. I believe now, from what I’ve learned that I have primary lipedema and possibly mild lymphedema. I was a normal weight in high school (somewhat plump preadolescent), weighing 127 or so, having a very skinny waist and rib cage, though somewhat heavy legs but not abnormal looking. After high school being less active, I began to gain weight. However, I was fortunate to stumble across Dr. Atkins’ low carb diet book which set me on the path of being able to pretty much maintain a decent weight. This was in the 70s. However, after four babies, I found myself 80 pounds heavier. I believe it was at this time when my lipedema developed. Throughout the years I could lose 40 to 50 pounds doing low carb, but I always gained it back. 4.5 years ago, I got serious about low carbs again, and lost 56 pounds, but struggled to keep it off (aging 30, losing 20, etc.), yo-yo-ing back and forth. So tiresome and frustrating! I was so excited when my daughter came across carnivore!!! I thought, “I might as well give it a try. I’ve tried everything else.” We both started carnivore August 11, 2021. Since then, in eight months I’ve lost over 45 pounds. I continue to lose just a couple a month. I am now over 90 pounds down from my heaviest weight ever and still could maybe lose another 25. But I am so thrilled to be where I am AND TO ACTUALLY KNOW I WILL NEVER GAIN THIS BACK, as long as I maintain on carnivore. I am thrilled beyond measure. This is not even stating the health benefits. My back pain is nearly 100% improved. My sel-diagnosed fibromyalgia pain is gone! My knee pain is gone! I can actually stand up for more than 10 minutes at a time and not hurt. I was so debilitated that my husband and I were talking about moving from our two-story house of 44 years because of the stairs. I now go up and down without limiting my trips and without pain. It’s actually unbelievable to me! I no longer dread going to bed to toss and turn in pain, because I am not in pain anymore. Oh, and I just turned 69 in April! My husband says my jeans are saggy in the butt…🤷🏼♀️But he’s okay with it! Sugar/carbs was poison to me —— and I am never going back! 00:00 Introduction 03:45 Atkins Diet 07:20 Body pains and aches, fibromyalgia self-diagnosis, back pain gone 10:30 Starting on the carnivore diet 12:30 Meat satiety 14:50 Knee pain resolved 17:43 Mental health on the carnivore diet; depression 20:40 Exercise on the carnivore diet 24:26 Favorite meat 27:00 Lymphedema 29:12 Saving money on the carnivore diet 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
