Jimmy: Carnivore 9 years, lost 102 pounds, beat A1B diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, feels great at 65. Lisa #ribeye: Healed microscopic/collaginous colitis, fatty liver. Susie: Carnivore 10 days, down 5 pounds, fasted 64 hours. Another Susie: Loves the inspiration.
Ashley encourages new carnivores: First couple weeks hardest; body adapts, gets easier, leads to carnivore glow. Not everyone should fast early; depends on adaptation.
Mara: Struggling with weight loss, unsure fat/protein amounts. Depends on individual. Ensure enough protein (likely on carnivore). Adjust fat for energy/satiety. Experiment: increase protein/reduce fat or vice versa. Some thrive high-fat, others higher-protein.
Carrie/Adam: Depends on journey stage; early on, less fat ok if body fat to burn.
Jen doing amazing on carnivore, preaching it loudly (role reversal).
Dubba 82: Lion diet beat brain cancer, reversed most MS symptoms. Blends beef tallow with hot water and salt. Thomas #prime rib: Lion diet 15 days, feeling much better, doesn't miss coffee.
M21467: Lion diet 3 weeks, wakes 1-3 a.m. nightly. Possible cortisol issue or diet stress. Try fat (mouthful of butter) before bed; many sleep better.
Loss of electrolytes can cause headaches. Check dehydration/water intake. Experiment (N=1). Avoid magnesium citrate (laxative); prefer glycinate. Try Salter electrolytes.
Lynn: If new to carnivore, inflammation drop causes urination/electrolyte loss. If not new, possibly overhydrating (more urine = more loss). Don't overdrink water.
Deborah: Satiates post-dinner cravings with cultured cream/plain yogurt. Individual tolerance varies. Concern: can trigger late-night cravings (Ashley's experience). Eat more at dinner, avoid 9-10 p.m. snacks. Plain yogurt ok, avoid sugared/flavored. If new, use to adapt; if not, investigate cause (undereating, stress). Try walk instead.
Nita: Carrie weaned off anxiety meds on carnivore? Wean carefully with prescribing doctor, especially mental health meds. Carrie's was smooth; anxiety/mood improved quickly. Recommend Dr. Georgia Ede's book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind.
3 weeks low carb, wants carnivore but only bowel movement once; worried. Barb: Ensure enough fat. Takes time to adjust; add fat gently. Lynn: Check sodium (packaged foods hidden source; sodium draws water to soften stools). Magnesium glycinate (start 400mg, titrate to avoid loose stools). Redefine constipation sans fiber: check bloating, discomfort, hard/strain? Aim to eliminate waste; Lynn once went 14 days.
Debbie: Started carnivore 1 month ago. Carnivore may help. Watch Dr. Leslyn Keith interview (link in chat). Vibration plate beneficial but start slow (worse before better); Bill Not's story (old channel hacked; solved his blockage). New Bill Knuts channel (Bill and Daisy Alaska) premieres first video tomorrow; subscribe.
A1C from 5.8 to 6.1 in 6 months. Common; Ashley's went 5.7 to 5.9. Theories unproven. Possibly excess protein (converts to glucose); tweak to fattier meat, lower protein. Or longer red blood cell life sans carbs (reticulocyte count test).
Suggest testing for fructose, but don't panic. Tweak by lowering protein slightly, raising fat, retest in three months to monitor direction.
Walking after meals helps release stored glucose from muscles, keeping A1C down.
A1C measures glycation of red blood cells, average lifespan 90 days. If red blood cells live longer on carnivore, A1C naturally rises. People with short red blood cell lifespans (30-45 days) have low A1C (0.5-1.5) due to less glycation time.
Longer red blood cell life on carnivore hypothesized to elevate A1C, though not solid science. Such rises not clinically significant; more concerning are low values from short cell life.
Get fasting insulin level. Ensure blood sugar stabilizes and decreases as insulin drops.
Healing Humanity blue shirt winner: Hotel Diablo 312. Claim at healinghumanity, Ashley sends it.
Next: 30-day free membership to healinghumanity.life (12+ Zoom calls/week, book club, doctor expert Wednesdays, Tuesday Q&A). 50% off first month, promo in description. Free month to best question/testimony with #life, subscribed to all on screen.
Shoutout to Dr. Nelson (member 20 months): "all of these people are great. Let's heal humanity together."
Dr. Nelson on beach in San Diego. Reminder: Healing Humanity meetup in San Diego in two days, tickets available. See Dr. Nelson live, Q&A, standup comedy.
Trudy Moore: "See you all Saturday. Looking forward."
Hubby: super high cholesterol, lean mass hyperresponder, zero CAC score. Cardiologist confused, sending for CT angiogram. Carnivore heals.
Zero CAC shows on track. Share studies on cholesterol importance for diet, brain, body. On carnivore, LDL is big fluffy particles, not bad.
Doctors scratching heads is awesome.
Nephew (16, thin): lung collapse (common in thin young people), asthma. Can carnivore help?
Asthma is inflammation; carnivore low-inflammatory, removes pro-inflammatory sugar. Likely helps; check with doctor.
Check for Marfan syndrome (common in lean young men with lung collapse). Carnivore testimonies resolve asthma. Protein provides building blocks for tissues.
Carnivore optimizes weight; thin people eating enough fat send it to lymphatic system/fat cells, potentially increasing weight.
Kim: first fast 5:30 yesterday to 3pm today (21.5 hours). Plans OMAD to 24 hours, then two days.
Gradually work up; don't white knuckle. Fasting beneficial. Post-fast, tweak habits (e.g., drop dairy/cheese). One changed carbonated water intake post-fast (stopped for two weeks).
Drink to thirst; body signals via headache/cramps indicate need more water/electrolytes. No strict ounces per weight.
Carbonated water may reduce total intake; stick to plain water if concerned.
Elderly: thirst sensor fails (medical fact, worsens with poor diet). Schedule to 64oz/day (40oz minimum); dehydration common/serious.
thinking for myself, #ribeye: migraines gone.
4 months postpartum, breastfeeding: how to transition safely, maintain milk supply?
Eat enough, stay hydrated, transition slowly. Possible (carnivore pregnancies/nursing successful), but consult doctor. Breast milk high-fat/nutritious even from SAD.
Transition adaptation (ketosis tiredness) challenging with 4-month-old; consider waiting. Adequate nutrition key.
Told full hip replacement: interviewed anyone/doctor avoiding via carnivore?
Dr. Baker (orthopedic surgeon, wrote carnivore book): patients' pain resolved, canceled surgeries. Check his channel. Hospital challenged his license (got it back).
Hip/joint pain often inflammation; carnivore reduces it.
6 months carnivore: headaches/high BP persist, but afib gone, down 60lbs.
Afib gone/60lbs huge. Optimal health: mental/spiritual/physical. Stress overthinking causes headaches; check lifestyle/environment.
A-fib precursor to heart attacks/strokes.
Fasting not required. Carnivore satiates (protein/fat), naturally leads to 16-18-24hr fasts if eat to hunger.
Healing; Phoenix Protocol book details. Progress naturally.
Promo: 50% off first month healinghumanity.life.
Nothing different/concern. Great age to start. Slow transition avoids keto flu (depends on personality).
Embrace fat (avoid low-fat fear from youth). Eat enough (satiation vs. restriction mindset).
No experience with indoor smokers (apartment concern). Outdoor smokers preferred.
Window open with outdoor smoker nearby enjoyable.
Blood sugar rises fasting (even 150). Healing diabetes/keto.
Fasting stresses, raises cortisol/gluconeogenesis (protein to glucose). Back off fasting until diabetes controlled.
Blood sugar improves even if still heavy (as insulin controls); weight loss follows.
Morning coffee + 3 over-easy eggs/butter: stop?
If asking, probably yes. Caffeine Blues book (skip diet advice, science solid): caffeine neurotoxin. Try decaf. Carnivore: burnt embryo plant juice.
Start carnivore: how long to stop itching?
Low histamine: fresh food, ruminant meats, avoid bacon/egg whites (histamine response causes itch; skin clears later).
Steven Lashbrook (documentary): strict lion diet + sunshine resolved psoriasis.
Beef/butter/bacon/eggs only, 3 months: no health gains/weight loss.
Check body composition (clothes fit, measurements; muscle/bone gain outweighs fat loss).
Specify health issues. Try lion diet (drop bacon/eggs, high histamine). Ruminants only healed some after 4-5 months.
Fat:protein ratio may need tweak.
It was that little tweak that did it for me. All right, we got a lot of questions coming here. Here's one from Tony. Tony, I have a question. I did carnivore diet for a week and gained six pounds. What would cause that when I was just eating steak, egg, and ground beef? What do you think, Barb?
I think it's probably one of two extremes. Either you're eating too much or you're not eating enough. And I'm probably going to go with not eating enough. A lot of times people don't eat enough. You need that fuel for your body. And if you're not giving it what it needs, your body's gonna say, "Hey, I'm gonna hold on to everything I have and I'm gonna double down and make sure that I'm not gonna starve." So that would be my first thought. How much are you eating? And then maybe just the timing of when you're eating and just kind of play around with that and track for a couple days. In carnivore we say, "Hey, you don't have to track anything." And you don't have to, but it's good to just figure out where you are, how much you're eating, what you're doing, and then maybe just know how you feel when you eat, and that would give you some information to kind of break your stall a little bit.
Great advice. Good stuff. I can't believe we're at the end of the hour already. We got to do a drawing right now for a 30-day membership at healinghumanity.life. Here we go. Drum roll, please.

Before we wrap things up, Adam, Ashley, Barb, Lynn, do you guys have anything coming up you want to announce or shout out or mention?
I don't have anything coming up. If you want to meet us in San Diego, grab your tickets while you can. We'll be there on Saturday. One thing I did want to mention is we did get a lot of influx of questions here at the end and we try to thoughtfully go through each one of these questions as much as we can while we're here. If we didn't get to your question, we apologize for that. But we do have Q&As weekly, two Q&As that you can ask these and unlimited questions in our membership site, Healing Humanity Life. So there's a coupon code at the bottom for half off of that. Use the code life126 there. You'll be able to ask all your questions in there, connect with us directly in there with DMs and all that happy fun stuff. And we'd love to have you. It's very fun to do this journey together and we heal together and learn together. So I just wanted to mention that we don't intentionally ignore these questions. It's just we don't have time to get to all of them.
Yeah. And Adam mentioned San Diego. I'm going to go ahead and put another plug in for Charleston, South Carolina. About a month away. So, if you're in that area or can make it out there, we'd love to meet you there. If you miss San Diego, that's our next one.
Good stuff. Barb, you have anything coming up?
Just Meatstock May 2nd and 3rd in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Get your tickets meatstock.com.
Love it. And Lynn.
This doesn't have anything to do with carnivore, but for those of you guys who are curious and want to know what's going on with this property that we've been trying to buy, we are in contract. We are moving. We have to be out of our current house February 5th. We are going to be moving into this crazy Frank Lloyd Wright style house. I will plan on before then do a video tour and post it on my channel and I'm anxious to hear what people think. We're going to be doing a lot of work on it. So, I'd love to get some feedback on what you guys think of this crazy house we're moving into.
That's exciting. Lynn's doing all sorts of adventures now. Amazing.
Yeah, I'm healthy enough. I can.
Right of all time for women. Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Awesome. Good stuff. Well, the only announcement I have I mentioned earlier, but I know there's some new people on here. Bill, not new YouTube channel drops tomorrow. And I also did an interview with Barb the Crocheting Grandma Carnivore Corner. You guys know who I'm talking about.
Grandma's Crochet Corner.
Grandma's Crochet Corner. Barbara, she has an incredible story. I interviewed her and that video is going live tomorrow on my channel. And then immediately after that, at the end of the video, because Bill was such a huge inspiration for Barb, we're asking everyone to go over to Bill's new channel to be announced tomorrow. So, go subscribe, give him some love, leave him some positive comments, and thank you guys all so much for joining us and for your wonderful questions. We do this every week. We'll see you on the next one, Thursday 6 PM Central. Have a good night. Bye, everyone.
Good night. Good night.
