Carnivore Questions LIVE & Giveaways!
In a Nutshell
Carnivore Q&A panel discusses underrated foods like beef shanks, cooking tougher cuts low-and-slow in butter for tenderness, electrolyte fixes for headaches via Sole water over Propel, and histamine/alpha-gal testing for meat intolerances. Key advice includes prioritizing fattier cuts or added butter for 80/20 ratio, CAC scores as low-risk if zero (repeat every 3 years), and ruling out IBD/EDS issues for chronic diarrhea after 26 months carnivore. Promote Meat Stock event (May 1-3, $50 off with code healinghumanity), Healing Humanity membership (50% off promo), shirt giveaways (#ribeye), and real meat over powders for protein.

Not doctors except Dr. Nelson; general advice only, not medical advice.
Honeybee's Homestead, day 30 carnivore. Ashley: slow cooker low and slow for tougher cuts, add stick of butter, fork tender like chuck roast. Avoid too much liquid (halfway up meat) to prevent boiling, yields gravy. Lynn: did recently, minimal liquid. Also good for jerky in dehydrator or smoker with beef and salt.
Adam: beef shanks - nutrient-dense with marrow and collagen. Ashley: slow cooker bones-in low and slow, pull meat, boil/simmer juices patiently into gravy. Mimi taught this method.
Tammy, 30+ days carnivore, waking with headaches. Dr. Nelson: check electrolytes, eating frequency/satiety. Barb: could be non-diet (breathing at night, sinuses, weather changes); track patterns. Drinking Propel (low quality electrolytes).
Bucky Badger: 42g fat, 2g protein per serving, unique fish product. Panel hasn't tried actual liver (only oil capsules). Available on Amazon; Bucky ordered. Willing to try at Meat Stock.
Diane, nearly 3 years carnivore, 71 years old, struggles with 80% fat/20% protein. Barb: scale back protein, add butter/tallow to steak, choose fattier cuts (ribeyes, chuck roast, brisket), add egg yolks. Feels unnatural for volume eaters. Ashley: track calories in app, surprised how little fat needed; add butter to fatty meat. Kerry: experiment personally, listen to body, depends on goals; some need higher fat.
Question: Why do many fat people have carnivore channels and not lose weight?
Barb: Inspired by journeys from 800lbs and 700lbs down significantly; recognize progress, health over appearance. Body designed for fat reserves; metabolic health key. Not weight loss diet.
Adam: Categories - in-process journeys or struggling with addiction/community support. Show grace; all on own journey. Not all end skinny.
Lynn: Shared morbidly obese channel, lost to near non-obese; commenter missed progress pics. Bravery to start channel at worst.
Kerry: Stages of metabolic recovery; factors beyond diet (exercise, sleep, stress). Examples: Bill from 700lbs, half the man, healed mental health despite stalls/overweight.
Ashley: Healing Humanity shares stories to motivate.
Barb: No criticism of skinny carnivores not gaining; appearance not metabolic health indicator - skinny unhealthy, overweight healthy exist.
Winner: All for Jesus Christ (Helen). Claim at healinghumanity.movie/giveaway.
Post best question/testimony with #life for 30-day HealingHumanity.life membership (12 Zoom calls/week, doctors/experts, courses, community). 50% off with promo code.
No issue; stomach acid neutralizes. Dr. Barry: virtually no effect. Dr. Nelson: waste of money.
Barb: Can work, but investigate beef intolerance (histamine? but pork high too). Lynn: Test for alpha gal; uncommon to crave but not tolerate beef. Specify symptoms; pork/eggs/chicken/egg whites can cause histamine issues.
If it's a histamine issue, pork, egg whites, and often chicken can cause problems. Fresh beef is the least histamine-sensitive meat, possibly even more so than lamb. Salmon can be higher in histamine than beef.
If you can't handle beef, get tested for alpha-gal, as that's concerning. Define 'unable to tolerate'—previously, it sounded like heartburn for Nicole. Scale back, ensure beef is super fresh, consider DAO enzyme. Aged or smoked beef is higher in histamine; beef must be fresh.

Tonight's podcast at 8 PM: Honoring the Veterans show—veterans welcome.
Instead of Propel water, drink sparkling water, tap water, or reverse osmosis water. Adam uses countertop reverse osmosis unit, adds Sole water for minerals. Currently drinks Topo Chico. For flavor and electrolytes (re: headaches), add Sole water to regular water.
Search YouTube for Sole water (S-O-L-E with apostrophe): fill quart jar 1/3 to 1/2 with clean salt (e.g., use distilled water), fill to top, mix, plastic lid, sit overnight until saturated (salt layer at bottom). Use 1 tsp to 1 tbsp per glass—start with tsp, up to 3-4 tbsp/day. Tastes minerally.
CAC score of zero means very little heart attack risk for next 5-10 years. Can repeat every year if wanted, but 3 years reasonable if concerned. No contraindications. American Heart Association recently recommends CAC scores, CT angiograms as standard.
Most steak cuts: 7g protein/oz. For 130g/day, need 18-20 oz steak (22-23 oz ground beef). Eat real meat over powder—processed is never as good. Spread meals if can't eat much at once.
Options if needed: Equip brand zero-carb protein powder (tolerable, on Amazon); Kion Aminos essential amino acids; bone broth powders (not complete protein). Meat is best.
Cheese can stall weight loss for many, including personally when overindulging. Use lightly or cut out to test—may kickstart loss.
Carnivore 26 months, diarrhea persists. Questions: pre-carnivore? Better/worse? Fat amount? Could be diet flora change, high fat adaptation, IBD, IBS, histamine.
See gastroenterologist to rule out lymphocytic colitis (microscopic collagenous/lymphocytic), Crohn's, UC (check blood/mucus, frequency). EDS often links with histamine issues, MCAS, POTS—try low-histamine carnivore (lion diet). High-histamine carnivore foods common; gut has many histamine receptors. Bile issues possible. After 26 months, microbiome likely adjusted.
Distinguish crampy/bloody/mucousy vs. loose stools (may just be higher fat).
Paul: Dad (won't listen, but persists—could golf 50 more years). Others: friend post-heart attack who lost weight but didn't stick; grandkids.
Can't specify time to reverse CAC score—measures calcified plaque (older plaques calcify; young ones not visible). Not objective to reverse; plaque begets plaque (CTA keto trials). Eat fatty meat, reverse insulin resistance.
Dr. Ovadia: Seen some reverse (unknown why), key is not increasing score, control insulin resistance. Non-dietary: mycotoxins, heavy metals, microplastics (uncertain). Check his channel/books: Stay Off My Operating Table, upcoming Stay Off My Kitchen Table. Sees CAC in thousands—not always emergency; do CT angiogram.
Heart disease mainly from insulin resistance/inflammation. Type 2 diabetes: ~600x heart disease risk vs. high cholesterol (Women's Health Study).
Strict carnivore 1 year: slightly warm fat goes straight through. Let cool/fridge, eat cold—warm is rendered. Check gallbladder/bile: try bile salt or ox bile.
1kg beef/day, 6'1", from 67kg to 52kg, added carbs. For skinny: dairy (raw best) if tolerated; more fat (goes to lymphatic system/fat cells for energy). Exercise for muscle via protein. Check thyroid panel—rule out hyperthyroidism.
LMNT won't break fast: no calories, not chewed/food. Stevia may trigger sweet craving/brain response for some.
OK with HRT if prescribed (controlled substance—see licensed provider). Women need testosterone (like men need estrogen/progesterone); quantities differ.
