Carnivore Questions LIVE & Giveaways!
In a Nutshell
A live carnivore Q&A session featured healing testimonies showing complete resolution of arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hypertension, and brain fog, with participants reversing oxygen dependency and regaining mobility after years of disability. Key recommendations included comprehensive lab testing (A1C, metabolic panel, testosterone, thyroid, fasting insulin) for brain fog and energy issues, plus functional movement exercises over heavy lifting. The panel addressed alpha-gal syndrome as potentially reversible within 2 years, emphasized budget-friendly options like ground beef and chuck roast, and advised against reintroducing fruits/sugars after achieving metabolic healing.

The panel discusses off-scale victories from carnivore diet. Ashley shares that her family's positive reaction and adoption of carnivore represents her greatest non-scale victory, noting her brother Rhett, twin brother, parents, and sister all experienced benefits.
For a 57-year-old male experiencing brain fog and lack of energy, recommended labs include:
- A1C test for blood sugar assessment
- Comprehensive metabolic panel
- Testosterone panel
- Thyroid panel
- Fasting insulin (can be ordered directly through on-your-labs if insurance won't cover)
Barb describes her workout routine focusing on functional movement rather than heavy lifting:
- Body weight exercises including push-ups and squats
- Works with trainer 2x per week
- Daily tricep dips and push-ups performed during routine activities like coffee brewing
- Emphasizes proper movement patterns over appearance goals
Multiple healing reports shared:
- Cowbell healed traumatic brain injury through carnivore
- Grandma's Crochet Corner: from inability to walk three steps with severe pain and breathing difficulties to walking over a mile daily after 300 days carnivore
- Mighty Manua: eliminated 7L daily oxygen requirement
- Target Prime Rib (Thomas): healing from toe removal trauma and temporary paralysis from infection
- Angela (age 61): 10 weeks carnivore for Hashimoto's and arthritis showing significant pain reduction and "aging backwards"
- Jeff's wife: cognitive decline reversed after fearing need for caregiving, with carnivore "giving her brain back"
- Jesus and carnivore Becky: resolved depression, insulin resistance, severe fibroids, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hypertension, and whole-body inflammation beyond 70lb weight loss
Regarding goat milk powder in coffee:
- Considered technically carnivore as it's animal-derived
- Goat milk often better tolerated than cow's milk for digestion
- May stall weight loss goals due to dairy content
- Recommended only if weight loss isn't primary goal and cow's milk causes digestive issues
The film will be available for streaming in the second half of the year, though exact timeline remains undetermined. Theatrical releases will continue while determining optimal distribution strategy to reach millions. Viewers should subscribe to the newsletter for streaming announcements.
For bulging disc, stenosis, and arthritis causing neck/shoulder pain:
- David Reed (Fuzzy D) shared CT scan evidence of disc regeneration in lumbar spine through carnivore, with same principles potentially applying to cervical spine
- Arthritis calcification typically doesn't reverse, but inflammation and associated pain often resolve
- Adam reports personal experience with two spinal cord impingements from ruptured discs and three bulging discs showing significant inflammation reduction
- Core rotation limitations and muscle building around affected areas provide support
- Physical therapy and spine doctor collaboration recommended alongside carnivore's anti-inflammatory benefits
Panel consensus on raw cow's milk for a 16-year-old:
- Safe if dairy is tolerated
- A2 variety preferred
- Described as "delicious" and "addictive" with sweet flavor
- Available at some events like Meatstock through vendors such as Miller's BioFarm
- Also sampled goat and bison milk varieties
- Noted regulatory challenges compared to alcohol and cigarettes accessibility
Barb reports with psoriatic arthritis:
- Significant inflammation reduction
- Joint destruction unlikely to reverse
- Pain elimination compared to pre-carnivore state
- Rheumatologist monitoring shows no disease progression since starting carnivore and discontinuing arthritis medications
Sandra used ChatGPT to analyze eating patterns and discovered excessive fat intake with insufficient protein, resulting in scale movement toward 10lb goal after adjustment.
For low ketone readings despite carnivore eating including berries:
- Berries may be interfering with ketosis
- Recommended sardine fast or increased fatty fish consumption
- MCT oil as alternative addition
- Individual tolerance varies - some handle berries without issues
Catherine reported complete resolution of arthritis in her neck after 20 years and sciatica after 8 years following a year and a half on carnivore diet.
Adam shared his experience healing brain damage from car crash trauma but noted incomplete recovery of certain memories despite significant healing. The panel discussed that the human body can create alternate pathways around damaged brain areas. A high-fat carnivore diet providing ketones offers the brain the best chance for recovery, though complete healing depends on the extent and type of damage.
Thomas Target Prime Ribs reported increased bathroom visits from butter consumption. Ashley noted better tolerance with cold butter versus melted or rendered forms. The panel discussed that meat-to-fat ratios should be adjusted based on stool consistency - harder stools indicate need for more fat, softer stools indicate less fat.
Cheryl inquired whether carnivore eating caused her year-long insomnia. Barb and Lynn addressed multiple factors including hormonal changes, stress, sleep hygiene, hydration status, and electrolyte balance. They noted that insufficient food intake from carnivore satiety can impair sleep quality. Recommendations included eating enough food, timing meals appropriately, trying small amounts of fat at bedtime for sleep onset issues, taking magnesium glycinate at night, and considering red light therapy.
A 62-year-old female pre-diabetic with high blood pressure reported inability to achieve ketosis after 3 months of strict carnivore following keto. The panel suggested checking fat-to-protein ratios, implementing intermittent fasting, and questioning testing methods since urine strips become less accurate over time as the body utilizes ketones more efficiently. Blood ketone monitors like Keto Mojo provide more reliable readings.
Adam noted that 62 falls in the postmenopausal range where women face additional challenges men don't experience. Hormone replacement therapy may be necessary for some. Barb emphasized checking estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormone levels as these impact ketosis ability. Insulin resistance history requires extra effort to achieve and maintain ketosis.
The panel recommended narrowing the 7-hour eating window (12pm-7pm) to enhance intermittent fasting benefits. Testing ketones in the morning can be affected by late-night eating. Stress and anxiety release cortisol that converts to glucose, making ketosis nearly impossible regardless of dietary adherence.
One participant reported getting off oxygen while reversing pulmonary hypertension, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and losing 62.3 pounds.
Adam addressed alpha-gal syndrome as a real condition but noted it's not necessarily permanent, with many cases resolving within 6 months to 2 years. Emily Paison successfully reversed her condition and can now eat red meat. Dr. Berry indicated the condition may be overblown in terms of fear, noting he encounters ticks frequently but considers it relatively rare. Missouri has higher prevalence similar to Lyme disease distribution patterns.
A mental health therapist noted that consistency, not just trying, is essential for building sleep habits. Matthew Walker was referenced as a sleep specialist with valuable sleep hygiene recommendations.
Bill reported his cat Daisy stopped drinking water entirely, only consuming moisture through Sheba extra gravy cans. The panel explained that cats ancestrally obtain 95% of their water from fresh prey rather than drinking. Wet food provides adequate hydration while dry foods create dehydration issues leading to skin problems. Changes in urination patterns warrant veterinary evaluation.
Lynn stated varicose veins themselves may not reverse but carnivore diet helps prevent worsening by managing blood sugar and keeping insulin levels low, promoting healthy vascular function.
Jennifer asked about daily cheap hot dogs and eggs when budget-constrained. Barb affirmed that even processed hot dogs are superior to standard American diet foods. Eggs provide excellent protein-to-fat ratios. Alternative budget options include watching ground beef sales, sardines, and canned meats.
The Shadow Noob inquired about adding fruits and salad after successful strict carnivore periods with fat loss and energy. Ashley noted individual variation in response and emphasized that diabetes reversal took priority over reintroducing sugars. CGM monitoring reveals blood sugar spikes and variability that may cause long-term problems even without immediate symptoms. Fruit sugars can trigger renewed cravings.
Becky from Missouri mentioned acupuncture treatment for alpha-gal syndrome that helped Emily Penton from the same state.
Adam advised against metabolic priming through fasting based on concerning reports and lack of ancestral precedent, suggesting exhausting other options first.
Ashley described steak tartare as raw cubed meat, often using high-quality cuts like fillet. Restaurant versions may contain additional ingredients requiring ingredient verification. Dr. Kiltz prepares excellent versions, and proper sourcing reduces concerns about consuming raw meat.
Lori asked about using only yolks versus whole eggs in scrambled preparations. Lynn explained egg whites contain higher histamine levels while yolks are low-histamine. Those with histamine issues may need to eliminate whites entirely. When preparing yolk-only scrambled eggs, water can substitute for whites to maintain consistency and fluffiness.
Lynn recommended ground beef as her favorite affordable option, preparing burgers with one egg per pound and pork panko. Adam favored both ground beef and chuck roast, noting that chuck roast can be dry-aged on a wire rack in the refrigerator for 2-3 days to firm up for raw consumption after salting.
Tough cuts of meat become tender when cooked for 24 hours or longer, but if cooked for less than 24 hours they remain pretty tough. Even when using sous vide methods and searing with a torch or in a pan, over-searing can cause the meat to toughen back up again. Raw consumption is preferred by some participants.
Tri-tip is currently a favorite cut due to its juiciness when properly prepared. It requires slow cooking to avoid toughness. Picanha was previously favored but has increased in price as it gained popularity, making it no longer an affordable option.
Walmart's yellow tag sales offer discounted premium cuts. A Thor's hammer (full shank with bone) was found on sale and smoked successfully, described as delicious. This cut is distinct from the regular shank.
Ground beef and chuck roast are recommended as reliable, affordable choices that deliver good results. Chuck roast is noted for being particularly good value.
A 30-day free Healing Humanity membership was awarded to winner Sdragon221. To claim the prize, winners should visit healinghumanity.movie/giveaway, fill out the form, and Lynn will send the code promptly.
