3 Years Carnivore- MY Biggest Regret & ASK ME ANYTHING LIVESTREAM
In a Nutshell
Carnivore advocate reflects on 3 years strict carnivore, sharing his biggest regret—not starting sooner and failing to reach more suffering from depression, sleep apnea, heart disease, and inflammation, which carnivore heals by eliminating inflammatory foods. Highlights success stories like reversed sleep apnea, 194lb loss, heart failure recovery, and mental health transformations; stresses prioritizing stress/sleep management, electrolytes, fat intake, and community support for optimal results. Announces *Healing Humanity* documentary premiere May 2nd at Meat Stock, with worldwide screenings, plus practical tips like Texas Roadhouse steak hacks, lion diet focus, and free community resources at healinghumanity.life.

Love you all, we love you too. Hi from Ohio, greetings from Illinois, volume is good. Congratulations. Annie from Florida, hello Annie from Florida, thank you for the congratulations, I am so thankful. Nancy's here, hey Nancy how's it going. Montreal, Oregon. Tell me where you're from and your biggest regret.
Shout out my mom, mom are you on right now? Pre-carnivore, mom made swiss steak, bottom round steak, tough cut cooked low and slow. Texted mom a picture today because I made it. Got up at 4:00 AM, put round steak in slow cooker on low for hours until one meal around 2 PM. Made gravy with it, 100% carnivore. Had six farm fresh crispy but runny egg yolks. Thankful for every bite.
Maria, my sleep apnea went away from being on carnivore. Congratulations Maria, same happened for me and so many others. If you or a loved one suffers from sleep apnea, snoring, sleep problems, there's a very good chance inflammation goes away. Not a doctor, not giving medical advice. All medical advice from doctors got me sicker, fatter, more medicated.
Majority of people with sleep apnea told it's because they're fat; truth is it's inflammation. For me, went away almost immediately on carnivore, stopped snoring. Had a sleep doctor on channel: inflammation makes airway constrict slightly, difference between snoring and not, sleep apnea and not.
We're eating highly inflammatory foods; face, hands, insides, gums inflamed, airway inflamed. Goes away for so many people.
Excited for Maria, myself, everyone who can fix sleeping. Bad sleep leads to weakened immune system, more likely to get sick, end up in hospital, pneumonia, etc. Get rid of inflammation, improve sleep, immune system stronger, hormones better, everything improves.
Advice for Non-Healing on Carnivore
Some do 100% strict carnivore but not finding healing: explore stress and sleep. If perfect carnivore but in fight or flight, high cortisol, horrible sleep, not healing. Carnivore is a healing diet, body goes to natural weight as side effect. Horrible stress and sleep inhibit healing.
To improve: like a muscle, exercise it. Check out Matthew Walker, sleep expert, resources on sleep routine, sleep hygiene, avoid screens, natural lights. Carnivores: eat enough fat, some wake at 3 AM from not enough fat.
Hello from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, driving home, fellow Wisconsinite. Eau Claire is French for water, northwest Wisconsin, beautiful. Would love you at world famous Montello Theater for next meetup. Tammy's invited, lots of Wisconsin carnivores, Jen and I need to schedule Montello Theater meetup.
One year, lost 25 pounds, stuck, 30 to go. Does cortisol play in? Yes, cortisol issue if under stress, focus on stress and sleep, Matthew Walker resource. First 25 pounds easiest, last hardest. Not weight loss diet, healing diet. Stalled on scale? Gaining bone density, muscle, losing fat, healing fatty liver, etc. Body prioritizes healing. True stall often dairy, heavy cream, too much cheese, or stress.
Red Runner 208, week one, head killing. Get enough electrolytes, more than you think when starting, water fluctuates, depletes electrolytes. Temporary, about to get over hump, feel better than ever. Persevere, I suffered adapting, told myself shut up and suck it up after 42 years damaging body with garbage.
Hello from Oklahoma, Sandy Blythe, we are all family, 100% feeling great, 82 degrees.
Brett, love eating meat, joint pain gone, blood test numbers improved. Love carnivore community culture.
Question: When visited Maggie the rancher, how many meals per day, consume dairy? Maggie's incredible, eating carnivore nearly 65 years. Ate 1-2 meals/day, most days one, heavy fat prioritization. Filmed with Maggie: breakfast bacon, eggs, pulled out hatchet, chopped huge chunk beef fat, overloaded frying pan. Ate more fat than ever, end of week felt best ever.
Not for everyone; when 100 pounds overweight, recommend burning body fat stores first. When filmed Maggie, not overweight, ate more dietary fat. Maggie at Meat Stock, coming on stage.
Misha, started month after you, you're my hero. Thank you, look in mirror and be proud, you're incredible. You started because brave to go against grain in world where majority won't. Scary, uncharted, change humans fear. Now did it, be proud. Carnivores awesome, loving, start loving yourself.
CB, car wreck, too bad can't put healing humanity in water system.
Stacks, $5 super chat, thank you.
Thoughts on Cole Robertson aka Snake Diet trashing carnivore community? Not familiar specifically, speak generally: trashers scared, pray for them. Used to get mad, defensive like vegans, don't anymore.
Carnivore: eat most natural foods, eliminate garbage, what ancestors ate 99.9% of existence, prioritized animal products. Last 0.1%: carbs, vegetables, sugar.
People reversing MS symptoms on carnivore. Doctors say no, can't do that, take $70,000 pharmaceuticals made in China factory, no idea interactions with 17 other meds. Treat symptoms, not root cause. Natural elimination diet, uninflammatory, nutrient-dense, bioavailable food prioritized 99.9% humanity: crazy.
Hate comments, trashers: scared, don't know better, some mental health issues, brain fog, deficient, starved of cholesterol, hormones. Brain made of fat, hormones need fat. Haven't seen thousands healing on carnivore. Edited 20,000 stories for Healing Humanity book. Millions healing keto/carnivore, closer to carnivore, more healing.
Carol, can't wait for Meat Stock and documentary. Stan, huge part of Healing Humanity book, hoping release simultaneously with documentary. Documentary back burner for finalizing, distribution.
Canada, biggest regret not starting carnivore earlier.
My biggest regret: not starting carnivore earlier, but push aside, easy answer. Bigger regret: not reaching sick and suffering. No regrets doing carnivore. Know hopelessly depressed hell, no hope. Millions, billion people hopelessly depressed, some teenagers younger than ever. Hold answer, can't reach them.
Reaching some on YouTube, praying documentary reaches millions. Every day people lose lives hopeless. Miracle to be alive, gone. Blessing of carnivore: what ketogenic, proper human diet, carnivore does for mental health, front page news. Bet my life on it. People won't give up food.
Not shut up, mission, purpose, goal till die: give hope to hopeless, real hope not fake pills.
Susan, following since before 30 days, remember videos, interviews, 24 hour thing, reaching out to Bill. Day 67 announced documentary.
Misha, regret not convincing not healthy parents to try carnivore, think nuts, hope Healing Humanity sways. Will eventually, your example best. Sometimes solution takes time. Close people tried, quit, now carnivore over year. Some wait till rock bottom, irreversible. Don't wait till too late.
Grunkle Bob, Watertown Wisconsin, rode Harley 80 miles, 73 degrees perfect, cooking ribeye and four eggs. Perfect day, used to have motorcycle.
Scrambled eggs, two pork steaks, hamburger patties, eggs, ribeye. Homemade meatball recipe.
Dan, when documentary? May 2nd at Meat Stock, 1400 people. Mid-May Montello Theater. Shortly after, movie theaters, churches, venues worldwide. Link in description for email newsletter, weekly dates/locations.
Biggest regret not knowing carnivore. Cheeseburger soup, Courtney Luna's recipe? Yes, Emma made it. Five hamburger patties. Spanky golf addict 65. Not knowing meat proper human diet.
Nancy Coughlin, searching video throwing pills over shoulder: 99 day video, search 99 days carnivore, tossed bin of pills, haven't been on since.
Timeless Jewel by Deborah: husband FTD frontal temporal dementia like Bruce Willis, keto now, helped so much, thankful more time. Praying for him, glad on healing path. Advice: fat important, therapeutic ketosis. Work with metabolic health practitioner/doctor, keto mojo track ketones.
Susan Hampton: two scrambled eggs, powerful ham, bacon, ground beef lunch; two slices turkey, slice cheese; supper crock pot chicken breast in butter. Invite over, sounds delicious. Besides one sister, other siblings? Two sisters, one's two years older, I was two years younger.
Both sisters are carnivore, though it fluctuates. Older sister Melissa was strict carnivore for about a year and a half, now mostly animal-based. Younger sister Holly similar. Two sisters: one two years older, one two years younger. Mom and stepdad doing amazing, excited to come to Meat Stock and watch Healing Humanity with a group. Dad in Florida, doing well.
Depends on goals. For mental health: Dr. Georgia Ede's Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind. General carnivore: Jenny Minich's Complete Carnivore. Dr. Baker's original carnivore book—he coined the term.
Best suggestion for beginners: join a community. Free options like Dr. Kiltz's or Facebook groups. Healing Humanity community at healinghumanity.life offers 12 Zoom calls weekly, doctors, experts, Q&A Tuesdays, Inspire Together Thursdays. Promo code for 50% off first month ($15 for 30 days, cancel anytime). Proud of the membership site and team (Lynn, Adam, volunteers). Community vital since carnivores are outliers.
Carnivore leads to natural weight; underweight people gain healthy weight. Biggest regret: not dropping diet soda sooner—now a week off it. Sparkling water helps for carbonation craving.
After 3 months pure carnivore + electrolytes: leg cramps.
- Too much water dilutes electrolytes.
- May need more electrolytes.
- Try sole water (Google recipe; Coach Lisa recommends, on membership Q&As Tuesdays). Other tips: magnesium supplement before bed; magnesium rubs on skin for absorption.
Susan Hampton: down 194 pounds (5 years keto, almost 3 years carnivore).
Carnivore helps PTSD sufferers change mindset. Montello Theater: veterans free forever. Respect for veterans. Arn (veteran with depression/PTSD) healed, now coaches veterans. Met him at theater; planning Healing Humanity episode on veterans' mental health and nutrition. Bradley at Meat Stock.
Amanda: March 31st marks 1 year strict beef, butter, salt, water, black coffee (no cheating).
At heaviest, zero exercise—lost all weight from nutrition alone (99% nutrition, 1% exercise). Mainstream lie: fat because lazy, need to run more. Ancestrally appropriate exercise: running, fresh air, lifting heavy things, hard labor—not treadmill hours.
Don't start exercise on carnivore; focus nutrition first. Body heals, reaches natural weight, energy returns. Fat/metabolically sick = brain fog, dizziness (worse than pneumonia—don't run treadmill then). Energy rises post-healing; excess leads to nesting/organizing (like wife Jen).
Standard American diet poisons: chronic inflammation, fatty liver, insulin resistance exhausts body. Complex digestion processes cereal (76 chemicals, glyphosate, pesticides, atrazine, forever chemicals, food dyes)—drains energy.
Sees former self (100 lbs overweight biking), then rewarding with KFC/pie/ice cream—wrong thinking.
Takes bravery to start carnivore for most (upbringing, doctor warnings of heart attacks from meat). Woman: hardest thing, trusted doctor.
Deer-in-headlights reactions to carnivore. Eating natural food, avoiding poisons. Heart disease #1 killer—all known cases on standard American diet, had insulin resistance + inflammation (damages vessels; cholesterol repairs—blame cholesterol to sell meds).
Patricia Butler (2 years carnivore): learning how it affects body. Not a doctor, but individual perspective from interviewing experts. Excited for documentary: helps hopeless find healing; celebrates brave carnivore doctors risking careers against colleagues for integrity.
New doctors given prescription pads as "drug dealers"—statins on lipid panels don't heal root cause, treat symptoms, lead to 10-15 meds cascade. Rants passionately celebrating these doctors (private calls helping people).
Gets grass-fed meat/eggs when possible (freezer stock). Neighbor sold out of beef. Independence Arc Farms ships grass-fed/grass-finished ground beef for power bowls.
Cole Robinson pushes calorie counting/sugar diet, calls carnivores idiots. 1000 calories Oreos ≠ 1000 calories ribeye. Oreos: soy (hormone effects), food dyes, seed oils—ignore for calories (measure of heat).
Carnivore = most natural food. Told Dr. Berry at OB Farms: dawned that carnivore isn't crazy. Plants: broccoli nonexistent 200+ years ago, defense mechanisms, glyphosate (antibiotic), apple coatings with seed oils, bred huge sugar ball, pesticides. Soil scorched, needs chemicals.
Cow eats contaminated grass? Multi-chamber digestion removes most bad stuff. Meat cleanest, most nutritious.
Carnivore Ron (gym friend) started after YouTube. Early subscriber (#2-3). Shoutout Dave Mack (near 2000 healing interviews).
Texas Roadhouse videos apply to all seed oil/Cisco restaurants. Eat home mostly; videos show accessibility (order steak right). Not restrictive: Courtney Luna cookbook, daughter Emma's meals.
God showed carnivore (Marybeth6676). Prayed for relief, found Dante Ferrigno—hero. Ripple effect: inspired speaker, Bill Knott via Carrie, now inspires others. Dante made for full-time YouTube, pure motives.
Teacher: not depressed, lost spouse, old, tired of life, wants to reunite. Sending love, prayers—one day at a time.
CB Carmack: last A1C 5.3.
- Pork rinds (clean, no seed oils)—tried recently after 3 years; offers at theater.
- Beef sticks (clean). Cook-ahead: bacon (fridge, eat cold).
Not easy. Dr. Hampton (Chicago) taking patients—"won the lottery." Imagines first doctor saying: get off meds, heal root cause. Don't need permission (like vegan/fasting). Great if doctor on board.
Seek out a good keto carnivore doctor for serious issues. If unavailable, metabolic health practitioners and coaches are a million times better than mainstream doctors who don't treat root causes.
Teacher Lynn was vegan, developed arthritis, gained weight, now 2 months on carnivore but unsure what to do. Send email to [email protected] for a free membership to healinghumanity.life. The site provides community, handholding, nuance on carnivore diet, weekly doctor livestreams, 12 Zoom calls/week, Carnivore Foundations course, Breaking Addictions course. Personal email help available.
Interviewed a woman who lost her spouse, was broken, but regained hope, started living again via proper human diet. Nuances for mental health, depression, energy exist—dials to turn and adjustments to make for a better life.
Rick's heart attack chicken is incredible; more videos coming on heart attack burger (burger in tallow?). Glad Butter Bob returned to YouTube—influential, great message, well-spoken. His channel grew while inactive, influencing people to heal via carnivore or channels like Dr. Barry, Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Kilch, Dr. Hampton.
Carnivore Claire
Carnivore Claire lost 149 pounds; check her YouTube channel.
Patricia: Severe liver damage, toxicity from pharmaceuticals, body won't get into ketosis. Are some too damaged? Great question for Dr. Nelson (on last week). Join community for $15/30 days with coaches, practitioners, doctors for back-and-forth nuance (e.g., specifics on liver numbers, what tried).
Texas Roadhouse: Order bone-in ribeye, no seasoning, right on fire with bacon and eggs. They slather all steaks in margarine then seasoning before flat top/grill—carnivores skip steps, making job easier. Goal: Enough carnivores to add carnivore menu space. Blind taste test: Plain steak beats margarined/seasoned one; people prefer meaty taste, not steak sauce ruining savory meat. Texas Roadhouse steaks fresh/never frozen, hand-cut to size—stupid to ruin with margarine/seed oils.
Ashley (Carnivore Brothers): Organizes meetups, managing Healing Humanity to theaters worldwide. Premieres May 2nd at Meat Stock, then Montello Theater, movie theaters/venues/churches. Sign up for free email newsletter for locations/tickets (webpage coming).
Never tired of ground beef; majority diet is ground beef and eggs, eaten cold. Currently 90% lion diet (mostly beef, some eggs); no labels. Eggs from cleanest chickens, laying tons now post-winter.
Heart Attack Burger Details
Rick's: Four layers.
Tickets for Montello
Available very soon; sign up for email newsletter first.
Hamburger vs. Steak
Hamburger as good as steak nutritionally/taste; prefers neighbor's grass-fed/grass-finished regenerative farm beef—better fat profile dialed for his needs.
Mary Beth: Eats once a day, stays full till next meal.
Tariqo3998's boyfriend: Had congestive heart failure (no heart attack, but TIA mini-stroke, irregular heartbeat, dizziness on standing, no energy). Advice:
- Write down every question to fully understand carnivore before starting.
- Join community (Carnivore Foundations course free/included, social media, Q&As, doctor experts Wednesdays).
- Read Dr. Ovadia's book Stay Off My Operating Table (cardiac surgeon, eats carnivore, lost weight). Heart disease from inflammation/insulin resistance (sugar/carbs/junk). Carnivore opposite. Heart performs efficiently in ketosis, prefers ketones over glucose (babies born in ketosis). Reversed own heart failure, irregular heartbeat, off all meds (heart, BP, arrhythmias). Thousands report healing hearts, reversing failure/arrhythmias on carnivore.
Uncle Charlie down 150 pounds. Candy cam JT fell off carnivore, hurt immediately, back on. Chuck Boy: Started carnivore due to host, losing weight, no soreness post-workouts, sleeps like rock, no energy crashes.
Celebrate current results, but set long-term why (e.g., thrive 20-50 years: weddings, old age wisdom vs. inflammation/arthritis/cancer/heart disease). Can't moderate addiction—never go back. 1 in 2 will get cancer from chronic inflammation damaging mitochondria via foods/chemicals.
Suffering IBS/overweight: Email [email protected] for personal help to start/educate.
Dr. Hampton (30 min away): Incredible, brave doctor healing via root causes, getting people off meds. Patients ecstatic short-term, oblivious to 30-40 extra thriving years. We should live to 120 (science/Bible); tragedy dying in 70s/80s wheelchair-bound.
Mostly lion diet (L-I-O-N: ruminant meat like beef), occasional bacon/eggs.
Email [email protected] for help.
Haven't tried cod liver (84g fat:4g protein, buttery). Off meds by fixing metabolic health/nutrition (root cause vs. symptom-treating meds/side effects). Taper with prescribing doctor—dangerous otherwise, especially mental health meds.
Tomorrow: Go outside, fresh air, sunlight in eyes, deep breaths—change your life.
Question 50 Merrill: 100% blocked LAD cardiac arrest 2 years ago, 12% survival, coma 4 days. Survived/thriving on carnivore; host's story kept him going. Now be best example to friends/family.
Don't worry if family members like cousins, uncles, or brothers won't listen about carnivore for healing. Early on it bothered me, but now as a mature carnivore three years in, it doesn't. Help anyone who asks questions or wants healing—go out of the way for them. If not interested, be the best example possible for children, family, extended family, and neighbors.
Congratulations Mary Beth 6676 on three years—email [email protected] for help. Patricia, email [email protected] to join Healing Humanity Community despite life challenges. Chuck roast is good cold; never warm it up next day, no microwave anymore. Likes all sorts of cold meat.
Mr. P S S25: Opportunity for documentary credits has sailed; editing done. Considering option for future series—email [email protected]. How long after starting carnivore to get off medications? Don't compare to others—could be months or weeks depending on medications and cocktail. Tapered off many with strategic guidance from prescribing doctor, even if some doctors call carnivore crazy. Early improvements: no longer needed CPAP machine (measurable), blood pressure improved.
P Jones: CAC score zero. Dr. Ovedia discusses reversing CAC score with multiple scans via carnivore—check Dr. Ovedia. healinghumanity.life for specific help (scrolling on screen). Jet upstairs managing Montello Theater playing I Can Only Imagine.
Bacon Carrie: Told to leave beer before beer leaves me—best honest advice. Lion's nest: mostly lion (meat?) with little eggs. > "Is the comfort today worth the price of tomorrow?"
Carnal ain't skinny you're shit—everything to carnivore, but imagine hopeless prisoner in solitary confinement never seeing light of day, then outside in most beautiful setting every day. How not be enthusiastic?
Caroline Bridges: Documentary out May 2nd at Meat Stock in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, then Montello Theater, then theaters worldwide. Sign up for email newsletter (link below) for venues by location—gets this question 100 times a day.
Mary Beth grateful for carnivore, loves every bite of beef, bacon, butter, eggs. Interviewed hundreds of carnivores, 60 for documentary—love other carnivores at meetups because full of gratitude, humanity's default state. Born into ketosis on proper human diet without brain fog/inflammation brings natural gratitude. Friend Mimi: Parkinson's, full-blown stroke, thriving on carnivore—no stroke symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis, mobility issues; cries tears of joy seeing sun come up every morning. Life better with gratitude; never thought about it before, was depressed, wanted to be alone, didn't want to be alive. Now grateful for struggles as growth opportunities. Not fake—health and mind return to default gratitude. Organize meetups in parks for healing community, energy, gratitude, camaraderie—unlike other events focused on food.
Carrie: Sardines/mackerel on carnivore? Tried sardines once, not huge fan but fan of benefits like sardine fast (Bill in Alaska, Dr. Boz). Fatty fish great if clean—much fish compromised now, but even not-so-clean better than pre-carnivore diet. Waterworth Gardens: Tartar on teeth (recurring on inside front teeth)? Normal per carnivore dentist Dr. Kevin Stock—check his video.
Preferred air fryer: Recently got Typhur with ceramic coating (no forever chemicals), heater top/bottom, fan, super big capacity for family of six. Dual fans game changer for crisping steak—learned from Dante Frigno, incredible steaks in air fryer.
Nancy: Documentary in theaters worldwide like Cholesterol Code, on demand at home, partnering with streaming services. Show track record first (even award-winning docs not picked by Netflix immediately). Screenings, on demand, then Netflix, Angel Studios, others. Goal: reach millions, cascade availability everywhere eventually.
Jen vacuuming upstairs—could end stream to help clean or take more comments. Taking Jen on date day, hoping for warm Wisconsin weather. Biggest regret on carnivore (besides not starting sooner): not reaching more people, especially mental health. Did video on depression that helped some; hopes documentary reaches many more. Mental health epidemic worsening in teenagers/children—unacceptable, unnecessary, heartbreaking; carnivores have the answer to hopeless depression. Cultural norm to overcome.
Good group of Wisconsin carnivores—plan another meetup, perhaps with Healing Humanity screening in May, park hangout before/after.
Quick Trip (Midwest gas station, e.g., Wisconsin): Hard-boiled eggs and water. Beef sticks not clean. Also good hamburger, ribeyes, steaks—legit even from gas station. Visitors Lynn/Dave got steaks there.
Mary Beth: Will come to Wisconsin meetup. House on the Rock: Visited four years ago pre-carnivore with daughter Alyssa—interesting, unexpected, crazy merry-go-round. Now do museums, caves, history tours, hikes, parks, nature instead of just eating out. Devil's Lake favorite—beautiful, new trails each visit; went two weeks ago, broke out shorts, then blizzard hit.
Jen says hi after long day at theater (private party, fun), walking with brother/aunt (3 hours), more cleaning. Tired but loves the place. Carrie walked 5.5 miles home from theater post-blizzard immobility—beautiful out, birds chirping, sun shining, grateful despite hard weekend work. Took two hours.
All glory to God. God bless you Carrie and family.
