These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
Hello guys, in today's livestream we are sharing our carnivore regrets and carnivore tips. Apologies for being a couple minutes late due to audio problems at the world famous Montella Movie Theater where pipes froze two days in a row despite heat cranked up. Light up the chat with okay if you can hear. Test test. Hey guys, can you hear us? Should we sing a song? Got okay in chat, sounds nice and clear. Charger Mopar Rick is here. Robert Dickens says, "Emma changed my life with her videos." Emma working on more videos.
In today's video, sharing carnivore regrets and tips that helped thrive on carnivore. If you're on your carnivore journey and feeling off, this might help. Lots of new people to channels, carnivore cooking videos. Carnivore incredible but have regrets and things wish known on day one to make journey easier.
Emma going to Charleston, South Carolina, February 21st with Lind Devoki, Carrie Man, Adam Lacy, Mimi Morgan, Lynn Tucker, Jim Tucker, Ashley Rogers. Link in description at healinghumanity.events. Emma speaking on stage, excited but nervous, wants to inspire. Spoken in front of large groups 5+ times sharing carnivore story. Most memorable: Tennessee with over 200 people, Dr. Barry sitting front row, chill and listening. Dr. Barry emotional afterwards, said to Carrie, "I can tell she's proud of you and you're proud of her."
Share regrets or testimony in chat with #ribeye for random drawing of healing humanity shirt.
Number one regret: four things to be strict about when eating out - oil, seasoning, salt, butter. Say "I'm allergic" to be stern.
- Oil: Restaurants use worst cheap seed oils. Forgot once, got inflamed, Emma woke snoring (never snores).
- Seasoning: Dad can't do after strict carnivore, gets gassy.
- Salt: Table salt has bleach, sugar, anti-caking agents, cooked at high temp losing trace minerals. Bring own salt, keep in purse/car.
- Butter: Often fake margarine.
Use Salter electrolytes, lab tested cleanest, thick sea salt taste with electrolytes. Popular salts like Redmond have heavy metals (upcoming video). On carnivore, salt proportion high since mostly meat + salt.
Wish found carnivore earlier, specifically when Emma born. Apologizing to Emma for not knowing better. Emma vegan almost 5 years. Crazy parents give kids Cheerios (unpronounceable ingredients) or baby foods.
Dr. Barry says carnivore kids starting young will need separate divisions/classes, outperforming scholastically and physically. School breakfast: funnel cakes, chocolate milk, muffins. Lunch: pizza. Before AC test: PB&J, Doritos.
Carnivore all about fat, but don't consume copious amounts day one. Started 100 pounds heavier, body prefers burning body fat over dietary fat early. Ratios change as weight drops, journey progresses. For mental health, cancer, autoimmune: increase fat, decrease protein (Dr. Georgie). Everyone different, e.g., Emma underweight from vegan, ate lots of fat initially (hated fat before, dad pushed: "Eat fat, clears acne"), healed acne, gained energy in weeks.
Emma's all-time favorite to cook changes; recent: taco bowl with chuck roast (braised, tasted like pulled pork), mozzarella cheese shell, carnivore nacho chips. Credit Laura Spath video. 1000 days carnivore, first time much cheese (used as condiment/taco shell). Taco Tuesday every Tuesday now.
Carnivore connects with incredible people like Amy Hosp, Lewis. Before carnivore: Emma bed at 5pm, depression, anxiety; dad isolated on homestead. Now polar opposite, love talking to people.
Didn't get enough electrolytes, heard don't need from meat alone. Got headaches, low energy. Fasting taught importance, especially carnivore. Took morning shot (oceany/salty), felt better: no headaches, energetic, clear mind. Love Salter electrolytes (salted caramel coffee, unflavored), sip throughout day.
Regret #3: Too much electrolytes - summer electrolyte popsicles (4-5) + bacon upset stomach. Check labels, don't overdo (e.g., only half packet).
Tip: Carnivore gummy bears - electrolytes, water, beef gelatin powder. No molds needed, jell-o cubes, delicious.
Eat at home, better control. Pro carnivores (1000+ days) cook steak/burger/taco better than restaurants. Traveling hard, but restaurants dangerous: seed oils/seasoning/margarine despite requests. Body signals clearer on carnivore.
Tip: Say allergies to oil/seasoning/salt/butter - perks ears, legal liability. Be nice, repeat.
Fast food tip: Order burger patty a la carte (cheaper than no-bun burger).
Year 1: militant, talked 24/7. Wasted; only share if someone sick/asks. Can't change others, they must want to. Plant seed, inspire.
Wife Jen (crafts in chat) now does this less.
Wasted a lot of energy regretting first year on carnivore being over the top about convincing everybody. Better way: be an example. As a professional carnivore a thousand days in, people see the benefits. Sometimes just be an example and shut up. If they ask questions, talk. If they need help, help. Can't change someone. Many have heartache trying to convince loved ones suffering, wanting them to find same healing. Focus on circle of concern and circle of control: control what you can, like being a good example.
On cruise, took steps every time. By day seven on 16th floor (everything on 8th floor), dying but being example. Emma started joining, using steps too. Another example: in omelet line, brought own butter, said no seed oil. Everyone in line did same: "Oh, can I do that too?" One guy: "Are you doing that for the seed oils?" Response: "You got it, buddy." Lady to right: "Oh, that's a good idea," scurried away, came back with butter pads. Shout out to G. Brown, queen of cruising, gave tips before vacation with Jen.
Number one carnivore regret on first cruise (couple months into carnivore): strict carnivore (eggs, bacon, meat, no cheese, no seasoning, nothing outside) but miserable. Later learned omelets cooked in massive quantities of seed oil. Can eat only meat but fail if having seed oils or outside toxins. Besides eating only meat on proper human diet, some eat only meat and still suffer due to stress (not food). Body healing internally or legit stall from stress releasing cortisol, converting to glucose.
Tips to not stress: focus on sleep, get rid of screen time, meditate, breathing, return to nature, ground yourself, hug a tree, turn screens off before bed. Further from nature, sicker and more stressed. Unnatural: rush hour traffic with 55,000 cars, music blaring, horns honking. Opposite: quiet forest with birds chirping. Not just carnivore: exercise, sleep, all of it.
Gratitude helps with stress. More aware of gratitude on carnivore because mind's clear. Common thread interviewing hundreds: gratitude. Mimi (interviewed, in documentary next month): wakes up overflowing with joy and gratitude just to see the sun in the morning, makes her cry. Braised beef shank dinner from Mimi was incredible, one of best things eaten on carnivore.
Regret: everyone says drink a lot of water, so drank ton flushing out electrolytes. Not good to drink that much. Water today filtered, purified, with fluoride. Humans ruined simple water. Used to drink from lakes with minerals (Dr. Barry's point). Spring water not good due to microplastics: average human consumes credit card's worth of microplastics every week.
301 people in chat. New people: biggest carnivore regret with testimony. Emma speaking Charleston, South Carolina, February 21st (Mimi Morgan too). Link in description. Emma at Meatstock 2026, Gatlinburg, Tennessee ($50 off with code healing humanity at meatstockconvention.com). Speakers: Dr. Barry, Dr. Baker, Dr. Kilts.
Chat: Beatrice 3 years carnivore February 25th. Angela regret: didn't start earlier, off all meds except thyroid. Many wish started earlier, but better late than never. Love Dr. Kenberry. Considering Meatstock.
Reversed congestive heart failure: diagnosed, suffered TIA mini-stroke, ejection fraction 44%, 45% heartbeats premature. After 1 year carnivore: normal ejection fraction, doctor notes "no longer evidence of cardiomyopathy," lifelong irregular heartbeat reversed. Prior sporadic a-fib (atrial fibrillation) instances on heart monitor gone (possibly misreading from misfiring). Endless comments of people fixing irregular heartbeat, CHF, overcoming a-fib. Nothing better for heart: carnivore eliminates inflammation and insulin resistance (causes of heart issues, not meat). Fasting even better, but must eat.
Eating fat/meat with pasta/pizza causes problems; just natural proper food is good.
Emma's longest fast: 3-day water fast, one 3-day dry fast (no water/food). Excited for Emma in South Carolina. Cook from scratch, love cast iron. Meatballs great but ate hundreds for weeks, got sick of them (go in phases). Mom made more (over 100) while brazing chuck roast.
Can freeze meatballs for meal prep.
Regret not learning about Sam's Club earlier (cheaper than Costco in Wisconsin). Prime rib sliders: $5.98/lb (ground beef next to it $5.96/lb). Same price essentially, pre-shaped slider patties. Perfect for breakfast (cooked in bacon grease like sausage), versatile, ideal size for meatballs ($5.98/lb prime rib meatballs). Go to local farmer best; otherwise Sam's Club for budgeting.
Regret not practicing good sleep hygiene. Emma no good routine (late editing messes sleep), needs to improve: wake with sun through curtain, go to bed earlier, listen to body. No screen time before bed messes circadian rhythm. Red light therapy 10 minutes before bed (shout out Coach Lisa).
Wish known to add fermented yogurt early (personal, not prescribing). Makes own with yogurt maker from Dr. Berg/Dr. Davis (Wheat Belly) recipe (fermented dairy/bacteria). 99% carnivores do dairy anyway. Impactful for ruined gut: Barrett's esophagus (precancerous), years omeprazole for chronic silent acid reflux, bleeding stomach ulcers, antibiotics. Ancestrally appropriate: meat, fasting, sunshine, nature; added fermented yogurt per Dr. Omera (broken gut not ancestral, add fermented foods to fix). Helps sleep, #2s (optimal Bristol stool chart #4: perfectly formed).
Ran out during travel (San Diego), sleep off (woke 3am); resumed, perfect sleep (one spoonful with fatty meat daily). 95% carnivore healed, yogurt took higher. Be curious, test if gut ruined (antibiotics, glyphosate). Ignore "science" saying carnivore bad (cancer, T2D). Listen to body.
Dr. Omera credentials: police officer/detective, high-ranking army official, lawyer, medical school, 20+ years ER hospital, advises president's cabinet. Others recommend: RFK does carnivore + fermented; Malia (gut issues expert) recommends bone broth, soft meats same reason.
Wish I knew about meal prep and planning meals for the next day. Some days I'd eat and then forget to plan, leading to not eating enough and craving sugar. Game changer: prep boiled eggs, bacon in fridge, meatballs in freezer to heat up.
Power Muffins Recipe
- Use muffin tin pans with beef tallow to prevent sticking.
- Fill with eggs, cooked ground beef, cooked bacon.
- Bake in oven.
- Great for meal prep, taste good cold.
Regret not learning about chuck roast earlier—one of the most versatile, cheapest cuts. Can get two chuck eye steaks and Denver steak from it (credit: Laura Spath video).
Simple Cooking Method (from Bill Matt)
- Drop chuck roast in slow cooker, no water.
- Set on low.
- Do this every other day or 2-3 times a week.
- Used to add water, making it soupy with excess liquid.
First meal was ribeye (allocated budget despite being cheap), but now hardly eat ribeye—mostly chuck roast.
Value of Different Cuts
Regret not learning value of other cuts like Mimi's beef shanks. All beef (chuck roast, ground beef, ribeye, beef shanks) are different food groups—taste different, affect body differently.
- Beef shanks: braise low and slow for connective tissue, collagen, bone marrow—benefits skin differently than New York strip.
- Prevents boredom on carnivore.
Wish knew about air fryer from day one (learned from Dante)—game changer, used every day:
- Cook 1 lb bacon in 10 minutes.
- Burger patties, steak, reheat meals.
Chuck roast variation: No water initially, add a little water and butter in morning—falls apart like delicious soup, thick salt.
Rump roast last night (planned for beef jerky).
Beef Jerky
- Made from top round, ate some raw (professional carnivore progression: medium → rare → blue rare → raw; don't try unless know source, e.g., Aaron and Vicki).
- Sliced, did in oven (despite smoker/dehydrator, too cold)—inexpensive round steak on sale so anyone can make.
- Gone in one day.
- No Worcestershire, soy sauce etc.—meat is star; adding sauces ruins it like A1 on fine steak.
Easter story: Brought slow-cooked stew meat (slow cooker + water + butter + salt overnight) to aunt's—everyone asked for recipe/seasoning, shocked at simplicity.
Bill posted new YouTube video yesterday (best ever)—wear it Friday, people miss it; watch Saturday/Tuesday better. Northern Lights, new guitar (earned at goal weight).
Bill Kn story: Emailed dad (stranger), two weeks later flew to film him in middle (kindest person, nicest family). Bill kicked off Healing Humanity, star of show.
Channel: Bill and Daisy Alaska (Daisy's star too)—subscribe, comment, share (321 viewers urged). Channel hacked, lost archive/healing record—making living from YouTube now, get him back.
Joshua: Inspired to carnivore, but only him/daughter; wife/son don't, holidays traditional Mexican carbs. Advice: Be example, they'll come around (wife did after seeing thriving).
Hard conversation example with Jen at family gathering: Everyone sick (type 2 diabetes, heart attack, cancer, autoimmune, amputations)—how be different if continue old path? Want to grow old together, walk kids down aisle, not mobility scooter/cane.
Not just weight loss—humans dying decades early (75-80 vs. 120 thriving). Standard American diet causes chronic systemic inflammation, insulin resistance—root of cancer, diabetes etc.
Anyone can do 30 days as challenge—want to stay or keep in toolbox.
Barbara (Grandma's Crochet Corner): Stopped carnivore 10 months, got sick again, back now. Not regret? Exercise in strengthening to sustain forever. No failures—lesson is a blessing (stolen phrase).
There are no failures. If you fall off, it's not a failure. It's a lesson. And a lesson is a blessing.
Dr. Kilts quote (nearly 15 years carnivore, turning 70, never felt better—all drugs/doctors/dissection gone):
There is no suffering. Suffering is strengthening.
Life lesson: Here to strengthen eternal spirits through adversity—bring it on, grow vs. lay in bed.
Regret: Not just what you eat, but what you put on skin (absorbs 60-70%). Deodorant, toothpaste, perfume, detergent cause problems.
Shoutout compassionate carnivore.store (Emma's skincare line, with Katie—basement of Montello Theater, shipping, cooking videos).
Whippella body butter game changer—cured acne on face/back (with carnivore). Slather beef tallow on face at night—wake up clear/glowing.
New: Tallow + beeswax (100% carnivore).
Hair benefits: Charger Mopar Rick best carnivore black hair head; dad catching up—proper human diet, no harmful shampoo (strips oils), use tallow (vitamins). Stopped mousse (chemicals)—now daily.
Skunk patch (white scalp patch, Jen called skunk) gone on carnivore—skin, fingernails, hair healthier.
What you feed pets—dog/cat food ingredients unpronounceable. Dogs obese, on insulin (soon Ozempic).
Video on this: Millions species on planet, only humans/dogs/cats/raccoons (garbage) suffer chronic diseases (heart, T2D, depression etc.) from wrong foods. Kibble appalling/criminal: Euthanized animals (head of org confirmed Fluffy ends up in it).
Fluffy ends up in there. That's just meat going in the kibble. The FDA reported finding euthanasia drugs in kibble, which could only get there from euthanized animals. People's pets, roadkill, livestock that was put to sleep ends up in kibble. Kibble is mostly grain-based, but dogs are carnivores not intended to eat grain, leading to sickness and diabetes requiring insulin. Just don't give them that food and they're fine. Cat food is similar. Kibble is highly processed at incredible high temperatures for shelf stability, destroying any nutrients in the grains. This is done so pet food companies make more money, leading to vet visits and expenses. People say they can't afford carnivore food for pets, but consider no vet bills. Even cheapest kibble means dogs poop out most of it—waste in, waste out.
Mom and stepdad Bill's dogs on carnivore have poop output like a fourth of what it used to be; they used to poop all the time because of unnecessary garbage causing waste in, waste out. Same with cat litter box—before it was horrible, not anymore. Kibble isn't cheaper; you're paying double, triple, or quadruple when dogs poop 75% out an hour later, plus vet bills.
Sweet Pea is the cat. Before raw diet (grinding chicken ourselves, chicken heart, liver), on kibble she bumped into everything with foggy eyes and poor hearing—had to scream high-pitched. Now on raw meat, eyes wide open showing beautiful green, walks without hitting things, hears 'Sweepy Sweepy'. Dogs are like puppies again with energy at 11 and 13 years old, fur soft. Feed pets right; wish we found out sooner.
Bill in chat chose doctor's office Monday over ER. Watch Bill's latest video: best ever, Northern Lights, guitar surprise, cooking segment, Daisy particularly good. Subscribe, share to get Bill back to 30k subscribers—aim for 100k. Fight hackers and bullies. Bill was at almost 30,000 subscribers. Documentary features Bill's inspiring story among nine doctors/experts; will inspire millions, boost his channel to 100k+. Put Bill and Daisy Alaska in credits. Tips: subscribe, share, send to friends, Facebook; leave videos running for algorithm.
Anthony Haydock hit 1,000 subscribers—check his channel.
In editing, soon. No firm date; consulted major Emmy-winning film company advising finish first then announce exciting release plan. Early 2026 still. Patience appreciated—worth the wait, one chance to do right. Excited for Bill's, Lynn's, Jeff's stories, celebrating doctors.
For toothpaste free of artificial sweeteners like xylitol: make own with coconut oil, 100% pure baking soda, peppermint essential oil (Amazon). Had compassionate carnivore toothpaste before, didn't sell well; make own. Carnivores never get cavities. No need for dentists on proper human diet from birth. Dental industry over $150 billion/year would be wiped out—maybe two dentists for interventions like chipped tooth.
Dr. Weston Price, 1930s dentist, traveled world studying thriving groups. Agriculture caused teeth to go crooked, faces/heads to shrink. Humans only species whose teeth don't fit—wisdom teeth removal, braces. No evidence of cavities pre-agriculture in fossil records. Cavities from carbs/starches mixing with mouth acid, not just candy.
Switching shower products: Beast Mode Soap great, expensive but lasts, clean. Use on body; owner Brent says technically not for hair due to cold-pressed method, but some do. No shampoo needed on carnivore—body produces natural oils stripped by chemical detergents. Stop using, hair improves. Jen and mom complain of thin hair/split ends from detergents. Emma uses natural soap bars (Amazon, will add to playlist). Uses tallow beeswax in hair, washes with Beast Mode occasionally.
Releasing tallow beeswax hair product: Proper Hair Hold (name may change; properhumandiet.com secured). Works like gel/mousse. Bill loves Emma's whipped tallow from last summer.
