Carrie from Healing Humanity introduces the Thursday night Q&A with Adam, Lynn, Barb, and Ashley. Prompt viewers to post best questions or carnivore testimonies with #ribeye for a chance to win a blue Healing Humanity shirt.
Recent South Carolina meetup completed. Upcoming Meat Stock event May 1st-3rd at meatstockconvention.com; tickets selling quickly, conference still available. Plans for Healing Humanity documentary premiere at Meat Stock. Carrie and Adam will speak; Emma attending.
Leslie quit salt last year; now Maldon blisters tongue. Adam quit salt temporarily due to nausea after seeing Bella (Steak and Butter Gal) video; fixed issues from excess salt irritating stomach. Easy to overdo Maldon. Ashley uses a lot without issues but acknowledges problems for others; try different brands, ensure electrolytes.
Jack Young Jr. asks who recently helped convert. Team converted a vegan at private documentary screening; she joined healinghumanity.life membership. Lynn: Church lady and husband saw doctor-approved results after inconsistent carnivore; doctor now recommends to patients. Barb: Friend Lori at San Diego meetup had arthritis foot pain gone by day two. Friend with gut issues healed after years of failed gastroenterologist visits. Notary with rheumatoid arthritis on biologics intrigued after seeing Barb's transformation. Friend with gastric sleeve lost 50 pounds, eliminated debilitating knee pain from old injury, resolved anxiety/depression.
Southern Mercy back on carnivore after pause due to high beef prices; seeks homemade electrolyte recipe as can't afford LMNT or Keto Chow. Adam: Depends on magnesium tolerance (e.g., glycinate). LMNT plain recipe on website; use scale for batches. Now buys from Salter.
Told to avoid red meat. Lynn: Get evaluated (flank pain, one-sided suggests kidney issue); could be oxalates dumping after carbs eliminated (can last years). Not early adaptation or protein issue after 8 months. Drink fluids; rule out stones. Recent session with Dr. Don Phillips on oxalates.
Carnivore Farm Mom praises Healing Humanity. Ashley: Stuck quickly after paleo helped type 2 diabetes; rewarded success with pizza/ice cream due to sugar addiction. Carnivore easy transition; 1116 days strong, loves meat. Carrie: Tried keto multiple times before carnivore stuck.
K Rod new member; grandson carnivore, curious on his/daughter's experience.
No experience; low electrolytes, not primary source for carnivore. Caution artificial sweeteners in flavored versions. Lynn: Poor quality vs. Gatorade; doctors recommended salted chicken/beef broth for hydration (as good as IV). Use high-quality packets or LMNT recipe.
healinghumanity.life: 50% off (code on screen), 12 Zoom calls/week including Inspire Together. Post #ribeye for blue shirt drawing.
Very soon, roughly 3 months (Feb 26 reference); before 6 months. Contracts pending; editor finishing credits. Huge undertaking, worth wait.
Doctor suggested off HRT until 3-month follow-up on probably benign left lymph node growth. Barb: Can't link to energy; follow up, not medical advice. Lynn: Ask why (caution if estrogen-related cancer); if monitoring benign, get answers via nurse. Low energy may be from stopping HRT; seek restart timeline.
Adam: Possible longer red blood cell life raises A1C/glycation. Coffee raised his fasting by 20-25 points; check stress. Lynn: Reticulocyte count to check RBC lifespan (normally 3 months). Track macros; excess protein causes gluconeogenesis raising glucose. Use CGM.
Ashley: Excellent, smoking better.
Follow-up: Recent Smoked Meat
Ashley: Recent tri-tip smoked 2 hours, seared on hot mini egg with flames, salted after slicing. Cheap cut, fantastic.
Winner: Smoothie420. Claim at healinghumanity.movie/giveaway. Shirts/merch at healinghumanity.movie; proceeds support documentary/series.
Post question/healing story with #life. 12 Zoom calls/week, doctors, experts, Q&As, courses.
Barb: Manage blood sugars, work with physician. Dr. Bernstein research on low carb type 1. Dose insulin properly; success stories reduce insulin drastically via diet. Lynn responds next.
Refer to Amy Perrin (YouTube: Brisket Boomer), a type 1 diabetic who coaches type 1 diabetics on carnivore. She reduced her insulin dosage significantly. Most type 1 diabetics do not completely eliminate injectables, but dosage can be brought way down. A study showed a 19-year-old recently diagnosed regained beta cell function on carnivore. No studies on long-term type 1 diabetics. Connect with Amy for tips.
Grandma's Crochet Corner (YouTube and healinghumanity.life member) and Barbara ask for bone broth recipes, frequency, and benefits on carnivore.
Adam makes non-traditional bone broth: saves meat scraps and bones in freezer, throws into pot for stew-like result. Drink as often as tolerable—no issues. Provides vitamins, minerals, collagen, fat; tastes good.
If histamine-sensitive, avoid bone broth (higher histamine from long cooking); use meat stock (juice from meat, not bones) instead.
Molly (works with severe autoimmune disorders) advocates soft meats and bone broth for healing; collagen is key.
Mimi (attended South Carolina meetup) makes bone broth weekly and consumes regularly.
Nina: Daughter with POTS and EDS feels best on meat; took a month to exit low energy phase. Recently discussed on membership site.
Five Homestead Howe memberships gifted by Bob Pobbeater—thank you. Showed photo with Bob, speaker, Dr. Nelson on membership site call. Great seeing Bob at South Carolina (joke about Bob in pants).
Lori (Carnivore Cheer, $5 Super Chat): Congratulations on finishing documentary.
Lori asks best approach.
Work with doctor—may need iron supplement or infusion. Identify underlying cause. Carnivore provides heme iron, but if still anemic, address it to feel good; sometimes supplement and work with doctor.
Coffee blocks iron absorption. Vegetables with oxalates block iron.
Anne Johnson: On no-cook days, healthy to eat only bacon and fried eggs?
Ashley: 100% yes. Cook bacon in bulk—always have extras. Eggs are highly nutritious. Great off-day meal. Genman fried egg in Charleston was delicious.
RJ McKenna to Adam: Not active, use quality salt on meat—still need electrolytes?
Depends on individual. Adam went a year without salt/electrolytes; body extracted from meat. Titrate down slowly; body will signal if needed. Some need none.
Barb did 72-hour sardine fasts multiple times. Likes sardines. Choose enjoyable sardines; eat until full (self-limiting for most). Felt good, boosted ketones (Dr. Braz: magical). Did one during husband's flu, felt great, didn't get sick—credits sardine fast.
Desmond has three teenagers.
Adam: Eat carnivore, lots of fatty meat.
Dr. Chaffee: Maasai (mostly meat) incredibly tall; Mongols and others were giants. Plains Indians (pre-bison wipeout) ate bison (carnivores), described as physical specimens—tall, strong, smart, intuitive. Inspire kids with these stories.
Jack Young Jr. to Ashley: Type 2 diabetic, A1C 10 high, now ketovore.
A1C measures 3 months—not overnight. Strict carnivore fastest to lower (Ashley: 11.1 to 5.6). Do strict carnivore first, then ketovore if stable. Hundreds reverse type 2 on carnivore—not front page news, but eating greatly impacts.
Tristan471 has MS.
Adam started via Joe Rogan podcast. Has vitiligo (autoimmune). Researched Dante Fregno, Dr. Berry; jumped in both feet (not recommended). Transition: keto → ketovore → carnivore to avoid restroom issues, keto flu.
Interviews: MS symptoms in remission for some. Rabbit hole: Emily Penton, Diane Ladd, Karen on speaker's channel; Dave Mack's 24-video MS playlist. Dave's video: man with brain lesions pre-carnivore, normal scan after.
Julie: Slow cook beef tender and tasty? Spices?
Chuck roast in slow cooker on low overnight. Little salt, no spices/water. House smells incredible; meat is star—no need to hide with spices/sauces. Non-carnivores raved at Easter.
Carnivore cheer uses Redmond Real Salt; heard sea salt better?
Adam (via Scott Everson/Meat Stock): Tests show some sea salts (from clean sources like north Norway) low in heavy metals/toxins vs. Redmond. Source matters—avoid poor sea salts.
Gary: Be detectives. Ancestrally appropriate: sea salt (not mined with equipment/dynamite). Popular salts like Redmond have heavy metals. For carnivores (meat + salt diet), quality crucial. Switched to Scott's salts (enjoys taste).
Newly diagnosed: Will carnivore help?
Lynn: Puts you in good place. Lynn's bone density low (smart scale), high risk with mast cell activation syndrome; post-carnivore, higher end of normal—gained bone starting at 55. Others report same. Carnivore provides quality protein building blocks for muscle/bone (vs. SAD protein bars/shakes).
Richard Plumley: 8 months carnivore—blood pressure normal, headaches gone, AFib gone.
Bucky Badger: Tried canned cod liver in own oil—amazing, 42g fat, 2g protein, 400% vitamin D. Panel hasn't tried (homework assigned).
Linda to Barb.
Ensure eating enough (carnivore satiating—can undereat). Check quantity/composition: too much lean protein, not enough fat. Increase fat for balance. Track briefly if needed to assess intake/energy/composition, then adjust.
Thinking for myself to Lynn: Response to thyroid excuse-makers eating candy bars?
Common self-sabotage—not ready to quit candy. Model good health on carnivore; offer info. If constant excuses, not right mindset—little you can do to convince. Be example.
Thinking for myself: Healing Humanity changed my life.
