Carnivore Questions LIVE & Giveaways!
In a Nutshell
Thursday carnivore Q&A with Ashley, Barb, and Dr. Nelson covers strict carnivore benefits for healing (e.g., Parkinson's, hypothyroidism, sleep issues, histamine intolerance), event announcements like Meatstock (May 2 premiere of Healing Humanity movie), and Dr. Nelson's Cholesterol Code screenings/book launch. Key advice: pair protein/fats for OMAD post-gastric bypass, use fresh meats for histamine issues, test lipids/CAC for hyper-responders, prioritize community for cravings/backsliding, and check prostate/PSA for nighttime urination. Giveaways awarded Healing Humanity shirts/memberships; join healinghumanity.life for 50% off first month with promo.

Ancestral Supplements beef liver: Can take 2/day instead of 6 (expensive). Lynn: Many do; equivalent to finger-size liver 2-3x/week. Pulse as needed if labs good, no deficiencies.
Adding carbs back in: Ashley: Individual healing journey; test one thing at a time. Berries addictive. Symptoms return for some (e.g., from Carnivore Code). Prioritize strict carnivore for healing first, especially newbies. Avoid keto treats with hidden ingredients/oxalates like almond flour.
Parkinson's and keto/carnivore: Dr. Nelson: Low-carb/ketosis helps brain disorders (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, MS, epilepsy). Ketones aid trash removal, brain energy. Proportional to ketosis depth.
Meatstock details: meatstockconvention.com or kiltsmeetup.com. Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Various ticket options, some sold out.
Carnivore vs. keto: Carnivore heals deeper (depression, anxiety). Stricter than keto (20g carbs); eliminates addiction triggers, oxalates in almond flour.
Sugar/carb cravings: Go stricter (abstinence like alcohol). Psychological > physical challenge. Seek community/support (e.g., 12-step carnivore addiction group). Accountability partner. Acknowledge problem.
Gastric bypass on carnivore: Depends on surgery type/reconnection. Ensure nutrients; test deficiencies, supplement if needed. Eat more frequently (2x/day vs. OMAD) with protein + fats together.
It's important to pair protein and fats together to ensure you're getting enough fat and it's not just going right through you.
Dr. Nelson explains that all methods aim to reduce stomach space, which poses a problem because most people cannot satisfy all nutritional needs with one meal a day. Some people eat very small amounts and get full; eating past that causes nausea, vomiting, reflux. You might need to eat more than once a day—two or three times in very small amounts—if no gastroparesis. Figure out daily needs and make it a goal to meet that.

Dr. Nelson presumes you're not on carnivore; answer is yes, it would help. Many with hypothyroidism improve, though not everyone gets off medications completely, especially if Hashimoto's. Hyperlipidemia is a general term (high triglycerides, cholesterol, etc.). Watch Cholesterol Code (rent or buy). Low-carb/carnivore diets drop triglycerides, increase HDL; some have increased LDL, but that's not a significant problem—learn components of lipid panel.
On standard American diet vs. carnivore, lipid panels look different. LDL may rise on carnivore with more big fluffy particles (not dangerous) and fewer small dense ones. Statins lower less problematic particles. Triglycerides drop, HDL rises, improving triglyceride-HDL ratio—a better marker. Get advanced panel (fractionation), CAC score to check coronary artery calcium.
Barb (9 months carnivore, swims a mile daily, no coffee): Can't sleep past midnight, wakes 3-4 a.m. Clarified as waking at midnight, up until 3-4 a.m.
First, what time do you go to bed? Nutritionally: When is last meal, how much, enough food? Body may seek nourishment if underfed, preventing rest; late eating keeps you digesting. Sleep hygiene: dark room. Assuming no prior issues pre-carnivore. Many wake 3-4 a.m. Try magnesium glycinate, melatonin, glycine.
Thomas (Target Prime Rib): Went off carnivore due to stress (vicious circle), back now but has to refix a lot.
Prayers for your journey. Watched your video—struggle but right path. People fall off, make mistakes; key is jumping back. Example: Ashley's brother fell off, quickly realized non-carnivore food led back to depression/anxiety—quickest wake-up call. Lessons are blessings. Lean on community; can call.
Lynn punts to Dr. Nelson. Start with symptoms warranting HRT—are meds helping? Give 3-month trial; know soon if helping. Women's Health Initiative (2002) scared everyone off HRT (not true re: cancer/heart attack risk). Not opposed if symptoms. Bioidentical hormones better (mimic real closer); original studies used horse hormones (wrong progesterone/estrogen), stats not as bad as thought. Like insulin for diabetics: closer to real = better, fewer side effects.
Lynn: Can eat more now. For issues: extremely fresh, not smoked/aged. Preferred whole steak over ground beef from local rancher (asked hang time). Lamb (zero hang rate, good for histamine; unique taste). Freeze leftovers or cook for one meal. Did this >1 year. Now eats anything: chicken (used to swell throat), fish (high histamine even if "fresh"), bacon, eggs, pork. Hope: you'll expand later.
One membership: 50% off first 30 days (promo on screen). Includes zoom calls, courses, everything. Lynn's book Breaking Addictions ($10) + optional workbook ($10) for course. Designed for group but can do individually with 12-step accountability partner. Search Lynn on Amazon.
Jumped in late? Listen later on channel, live tab (previous lives).
Jeff's wife: Husband enjoys baking Christmas treats; depressing when I don't eat. Reassure it's not rejecting his love—prioritizing health. Share your "why." Non-carnivore spouse helps understanding. Suggest carnivore cookbook (e.g., Courtney Luna's). Examples: Sister made carnivore lasagna; made desserts at Christmas (big hit, gained 7 lbs but came off).
Watch Cholesterol Code. CAC 0 = <2% chance major CV event next 5-10 years (warranty). Possible soft plaques (low chance), but unlikely to pursue expensive tests (CCTA/CIMT measure calcified/non-calcified). Dr. Nelson's CAC 165, no repeat/CTA. If doing, CTA with AI overread (3+ companies). Inquire who's warning (often doctors re: high LDL/cholesterol despite CAC 0, push statins). Women get no extra life from statins (3-5 days only in men).
Example: CAC 0, advanced panel great, but YouTube commenters push statins/soft plaque fears. CV events still #1 death cause, even on carnivore/keto—not guarantee.
HDL >80, triglycerides <70, LDL >190/200. Mostly lean people (exception: lipedema).
No specific kids group; family group with parents discussing. Reaching adults now. Many teen YouTube channels for support.
Work with parents to guide children on carnivore diet; define children as under 10 or under 12. Dr. Barry and Nisha Barry advise on children's diets. No age restriction for under 18 to sign up for the community; nothing on membership site inappropriate for under 18.
Tammy, fellow Wisconsinite attending screening at Montella Theater, reports no pain after 60-90 days carnivore while doing heavy lifting outside, despite slips. Slipping happens; key is getting back on.
Cyclone Drew: No matter fluid intake or cutoff, sleeps only 4-5 hours before needing to urinate; 50 years old. Recommend prostate exam and PSA test. Most likely cause for male over 50; check for infection or chronic issues without overt symptoms. Prostate grows gradually in all males, may cause problems. Low-carb or carnivore diets often improve urination frequency. Do not ignore prostate checks, especially with personal or family history.
