Carnivore Questions LIVE & Giveaways!
In a Nutshell
A panel of carnivore diet advocates hosted a live Q&A discussing the upcoming documentary Healing Humanity, upcoming events, and answering viewer health questions. Key takeaways include that carnivore diets can improve kidney/liver function, Crohn's disease, anxiety, and migraines; stress reduction is the most important longevity factor outside nutrition; and the lion diet serves as a temporary elimination protocol for severe autoimmune conditions. Viewers were encouraged to pre-order the documentary at HealingHumanity.movie for its October 23rd streaming release.

October 23rd marks the streaming release of Healing Humanity for a 30-day window. Pre-orders help demonstrate demand to distributors and streaming services.
Barb identifies reducing stress as the single most important factor for living a long, healthy life outside of nutrition. Stress reduction encompasses sleep, nutrition, environment, and relationships.
Pre-purchases provide ammunition for negotiations with streamers and big services, demonstrating viewer demand for the content.
Andrea asks about muscular dystrophy with elevated creatine kinase and compromised kidney and liver function. Dr. Nelson clarifies that high-protein diets are not dangerous to kidneys and may actually improve kidney function. Liver function can improve even with fibrosis and cirrhosis. The diet will not worsen existing organ dysfunction, though monitoring is recommended.
Lynn explains that elevated liver enzymes and fatty liver disease improve when blood sugar and insulin are lowered. Constantly raised insulin causes the liver to store excess fat, leading to inflammation and scarring.
Carrie shares that increasing fat intake eliminated her anxiety. She had suffered from anxiety and depression for years despite trying therapy and medications. Carnivore diet helped, and dialing in the fat-to-protein ratio for deeper therapeutic ketosis provided additional benefits. The brain loves ketones while high-glucose diets cause inflammation.
A viewer on day 72 of carnivore reports waking early with migraines despite consuming electrolytes and salt. Adam suggests the issue could be too many electrolytes, too much salt, insufficient fluids, or too much water. Changes should be made gradually, especially for older individuals. Dr. Nelson notes the question is unclear whether migraines are new since starting carnivore or pre-existing.
Jen recommends considering a sleep study if migraines occur upon waking but not at bedtime, as oxygen levels during sleep may be the issue. Sleep apnea should be ruled out.
Jen shares that eating butter helped her migraines. She suggests trying additional fat intake, specifically Kerry Gold butter, before sleep. She also recommends possibly reducing electrolyte intake if it's causing imbalance.
D Lee 756 reports going from stage three chronic kidney disease to normal blood test results on carnivore, providing encouragement for others with kidney concerns.
Grandma's crochet corner asks if carnivore can replace a $30,000 monthly injection keeping her daughter in Crohn's remission. Lynn recommends Dr. Zofia Clemens' research on Crohn's patients and gut integrity issues in autoimmune disease. She suggests lowering carbohydrates and potentially moving to a lion diet for severe autoimmune conditions. Dr. Clemens has documented cases reversing Crohn's disease through dietary intervention. Lynn also mentions a gastroenterologist (name to be added to chat) who applies metabolic therapies and will speak at the World Nutrition Summit.
Ashley addresses whether lion diet produces better results than standard carnivore. The lion diet can be beneficial for those needing extreme elimination to identify inflammatory triggers. Michaela Peterson used this approach successfully for years. Ashley tried it personally but found it wasn't necessary for her situation. The lion diet is typically used temporarily until healing occurs, after which other foods can be reintroduced.
Barb addresses a 53-day carnivore following OMAD who is considering extended fasting. She cautions that 53 days is a short time and changing to carnivore already constitutes significant stress. Extended fasting adds additional hormetic stress that may not be appropriate. She recommends listening to the body, identifying specific goals for fasting, and easing into it slowly only when fully nourished.

A 30-day membership to healinghumanity.life will be given away at the end of the call. The community offers 12 weekly Zoom calls, courses, doctors, experts, and addiction support.
Adam addresses caffeine as a loaded question. While he personally consumes it, he notes caffeine is generally a neurotoxin to humans and not something typically recommended. It often emerges as a culprit when people cannot identify what's causing their health issues.
Cortisol and stress are very connected to health outcomes. The salted caramel coffee electrolyte coffee is delicious.
The community exists because doing this alone is really hard. Breaking addiction groups meet four sessions a week and are available on the website. Members can meet people on the site, connect via direct messaging through messenger, communicate via Instagram DMs, ask for help, and show up to Zoom calls for face-to-face interaction. The group helps empower members to be responsible for themselves, but each person must take the step and show up.
Start slow and be gradual. If already doing 24 hours by eating once a day, the next step would be 36 hours, then 48 hours, done maybe once a week and no more often. Continue increasing based on how you feel. Do not go beyond 72 hours. Studies suggest benefits past three days up to seven days might be very beneficial, but beyond that it is not 100% certain it is necessary.
Hollywood actors have done 40-day fasts for weight loss but very often regain the weight. The benefits of fasting are probably more profound with autophagy, helping the body repair, and getting into good ketosis. Take it slow. As long as you are feeling okay, you can take it one day at a time.
Swimming is fantastic exercise and a good alternative if neuropathy in the feet limits activity. Swimming uses every muscle in the body. Glycogen stores occur in the liver and muscles. Monitor how much glucose is put into the system by what is eaten. Muscles are a major glucose sink, so exercising the legs is better than the arms, but any exercise will do if limited.
The best exercise is the one you are willing to do. Walking was mentioned, but it depends on the individual. For some, exercise may be getting up from a chair or getting up from the toilet one more time than normally done. For neuropathy that makes walking painful, swimming is fantastic.
Flourish 365 from Michigan is watching and fighting their way back after going off the rails a year and a half ago. Jesus is my king, 4301 from Vegas shared that the community has changed their life. Billy Jean in Vegas attended the Vegas meetup.
Healing Humanity will be shown in Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, and Tokyo on October 23rd. There are no planned showings in Sacramento before that date.
People have been told for decades that meat causes cancer and cholesterol is bad. Carnivore flies in the face of everything told for decades. The diet may seem too restrictive. When eating carbohydrates, people always crave something else because they are struggling to get proper nutrition. When giving the body proper nutrition, the brain starts to heal and stops craving everything else. After four years on carnivore, it becomes possible to walk by a Cinnabon store without temptation and view bakery sections as poison.
At gatherings like Thanksgiving or holidays, everybody eats things now known to probably not be the best for health. 88 to 93 percent of people are metabolically sick, so it is time to start eliminating things. A prophet is not welcome in his own town. Sometimes seeing the documentary helps people who were opposed to carnivore become open to trying it after seeing the stories and healing others experienced.
Billy V. is 61 years young, carnivore for 19 months, working out five days a week with kettlebells, and never felt better.
Panel members have not supplemented with vitamin B1 for tinnitus or neuropathy. If neuropathy is caused by a deficiency, some B vitamins can be the cause, so check levels and supplement only if low.
Everybody is their own experiment. Determine the actual end goal. If still trying to lose weight or do body recomposition, that might determine the approach. Do not force eating once or twice a day for arbitrary reasons. Avoid intentionally fasting that causes mental stress. For cancer or mental health issues where higher ketones are desired, experimenting with OMAD might be considered. As a 60-year-old male, OMAD is more comfortable than for women who may struggle more from a hormonal perspective. Do a week of OMAD rather than just one day to see how you feel. If struggling, try two meals a day. Look at calories per day, meal size, ratios, and macros.
There is no limit on how much meat can be eaten at each meal. It depends on how many times you are eating a day. If eating one meal, more food is needed to meet protein goals and get enough fat and energy. If eating so much meat that you feel uncomfortable and do not feel good, that is probably too much. Listen to your body.
The documentary is called Healing Humanity: The Power of a Proper Human Diet. It can be pre-ordered at HealingHumanity.movie for $10 and will be streaming October 23rd.
Everybody is on their own journey. Do what is best for your health. If family is turned off by the term carnivore, say it is a modified keto diet or a plant-free ketogenic diet. Usually telling people you have to do this for your health keeps things at bay.
When in ketosis, have low carbs and enough fat. Being in ketosis will help but is not automatic. You could have very good ketones and good glucose and still hit a stall. Start with 50 percent of the grams eaten in fat and 50 percent in protein, then play around with it. Decrease protein and increase fat or vice versa to see how you feel. When in a stall, many things can be done to break through depending on personal factors.
