Doctor: 'You are Triggering Me with Carnivore” So I TOLD HIM THIS…
In a Nutshell
A 74-year-old man reversed 20 years of type 2 diabetes, eliminated multiple medications, normalized inflammation, and resolved polymyalgia rheumatica within weeks of starting carnivore, with his A1C dropping from near 10 to 5.3. He attributes success to replacing two hours of daily food pleasure with 24-hour wellbeing, prioritizing electrolyte management, and using CGM tracking to maintain therapeutic ketosis. The account highlights how standard medical training lacks nutrition education and how root-cause dietary intervention outperforms lifelong prescriptions for metabolic and autoimmune conditions.

Dino fired his last two cardiologists after mentioning interest in the carnivore diet. The first cardiologist pointed his finger and said "You're triggering me," ending the conversation. The second cardiologist asked if Dino was listening to "quack doctors on YouTube" and dismissed the approach.
Dino responded to the second doctor by stating he was living on ketones and fat because his brain prefers ketones. The doctor replied "No, no, you're wrong." Dino suggested looking it up.
Cary welcomes Dino to discuss his health journey with a proper human diet. Dino attended a Healing Humanity screening in Orlando and brought physician Dr. Brian, who watched the documentary for the first time.
In his 20s, Dino was thin but carried a roll or half-roll of Tums due to severe acid problems. He passed out at home and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Doctors noted he was pale and asked about a black bowel movement. Dino mentioned blueberry pie, but doctors determined he had lost significant blood.
Dino had burned a hole in his esophagus and lost 2.5 pints of blood. This occurred during the height of the AIDS crisis, so doctors declined a transfusion, stating he would have to recover without one. From that point, he was prescribed Prevacid for years.
Dino started gaining weight after his esophagus incident. At one point he weighed only 135 lbs. He comes from an Italian family on both sides. His aunt and cousin have best-selling Italian cookbooks. His cousin is Stanley Tucci. The family gathered at grandparents' home nearly every weekend for meals that could last an hour or two, followed by additional hours of stories and eating.
