Healing Humanity: The Power of a Proper Human Diet is now available for viewing at healinghumanity.watch. The team encourages viewers to post reviews on IMDb and Google to help spread the message. The share link healinghumanity.share allows easy forwarding to friends and family.
The team is preparing for travel to Tampa for the Mentis retreat hosted by Adam and Scott. The Healing Humanity VIP dinner is scheduled for Saturday, November 7th, with tickets still available through the Healing Humanity events website. Hack Your Health is the next major event, attended by Carrie, Jen, Dante, and Barb.
Adam will speak at the American Film Market in Hollywood on a panel about how to make money with an indie film. The distributor plans to use Healing Humanity as a case study. The film has been invited due to its community-driven success, with revenue reinvested into dubbing the film in other languages and producing a series.
Dr. Foreign suggested the film should be required viewing in middle schools and high schools. Multiple reviewers noted the same sentiment. The team expressed regret they did not have access to such information during their own high school years when processed foods became part of their diet.
The 24-hour livestream replay is available at healinghumanity.mmov24, where viewers can search by doctor, individual, topic, or keyword without watching the entire stream.
The website has been completely redesigned with articles written by Lynn to support people on their carnivore journey. A frequently asked questions section addresses streaming issues. A host a screening link directs users to licensing information for showing the film to churches or groups. Charges may apply for theatrical screenings requiring DCP creation and drive shipping, though fees are often waived depending on the screening format.
Resources for healthcare practitioners are available, including links to learn more about low-carb, high-fat, carnivore eating, plus pamphlets and educational materials.
Tom shared that Lynn's first flight story made him cry and described Bill's story as incredible. Deb Rich Photography expressed gratitude for Healing Humanity Movie and has been sharing it across social media platforms. Chad stated the film was worth the wait. Butter Bob was acknowledged as a celebrity in the audience.
Coach Lisa asked whether panelists would rather cook or wash dishes. Responses included:
- Carrie prefers cooking
- Adam uses biodegradable paper plates to avoid dishes
- Barb is not allowed in the kitchen due to being a klutz and would choose cleaning when hungry
- Lynn loves to cook but will also clean
- One of Carrie's children may have thrown plates in the garbage to avoid washing them
Kimmy asked whether someone without a gallbladder can do carnivore. Lynn confirmed it is possible, noting many people have had their gallbladders removed due to decades of low-fat propaganda.
Starting recommendations:
- Begin at whatever fat level is tolerable
- The gut signals when fat intake is too high through queasiness or acid reflux
- Back off fat initially, then gradually increase over two to three weeks
- Non-rendered fat tends to be better tolerated than rendered liquid fat
- Digestive enzymes may help some people
- Ox bile can be useful at the beginning but should not be used long-term
The liver continues producing bile without a gallbladder. The bile duct expands to accommodate extra bile and takes on the gallbladder's role. The body adapts over time as the liver learns to produce appropriate amounts.
Southern to Aat Designs, a pediatric NP from Texas, asked for advice on discussing carnivore eating with parents of sick, obese children. Barb emphasized that carnivore represents the most nourishing diet available. Not every child must be carnivore, but animal-based whole foods support metabolic health. Some children can include healthy whole carbs.
Dr. Cyus mentioned five-year-olds with fatty liver, a condition rarely seen previously. For metabolically compromised children, carnivore serves as an effective intervention. Sharing the film allows parents to receive information without feeling judged, potentially making them more receptive. Barb has written carnivore children's books available on Amazon that could be placed in waiting rooms.
Courtney Luna's cookbook contains kid-friendly recipes. Carrie noted that children receive candy as rewards at school, church, and Halloween, making it difficult to avoid processed foods. The goal is helping parents understand long-term damage from current dietary choices.
Ashley addressed whether spices and herbs are permitted. Strict carnivore or lion protocol restricts intake to salt only. Those who have been carnivore for a while can experiment with adding spices back. Individual responses vary—Lynn experiences issues with pepper while others tolerate it without problems. Body odor returning after adding garlic is one example of how spices may affect individuals differently. Most people find spices mild and tolerable.
Lion's Danavore Podcast asked Adam why the stories made viewers cry. Adam noted Lynn made the crew cry during filming, though repeated viewings have reduced the emotional impact for him. Lynn's story of her first flight with her husband after 35 years of marriage remains emotional for audiences. Adam joked about filming from the airplane wing.
Tom asked Barb for recommendations after developing a head cold and sore throat, his first in years. Barb recommended staying hydrated, maintaining electrolyte balance, and eating nourishing foods even without appetite. A silver spray available at chiropractors' offices has helped some people with sinus issues. NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is Lynn's go-to supplement for Dave when he gets colds. Gargling with saltwater addresses sore throat symptoms.
Jean reported that the film opened her eyes but she continues struggling with addiction, working around tempting carbs daily. She asked whether more willpower is needed. Lynn responded that addiction is not about willpower, noting she has demonstrated significant willpower in other areas of life including nursing, obtaining two bachelor's degrees, raising special needs children, and maintaining a strong marriage.
Lynn explained that addiction stems from giving the body and brain the wrong fuel. When the brain receives proper fuel, healing becomes possible. Lynn, Adam, and Barb completed a course taught by Bitten Johnson, one of the world's foremost addiction experts, who frames addiction as a primary illness rather than a willpower deficit. The diet must be addressed to resolve the addiction.
The membership website at healingcommunity.life serves as the main platform for answering questions and providing in-depth support beyond chat limitations. For $30 per month, members can connect directly and dive deeper into their health journey. The platform is moving to a new site on Monday, November 2nd, which will include a free tier offering a free carnivore guide and access to the Breaking Addictions program.
The Breaking Addictions group is based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, specifically designed for people following ketogenic or carnivore diets. The program will feature two meetings per week, starting with Tuesday meetings. Participants will have opportunities for accountability partners, work through the 12 steps, and receive community support. The program will be offered as a free tier on the membership site, recognizing the importance of support for those struggling with addiction.
A Healing Humanity shirt in either blue or black was awarded to Rick Steves-HM4CU for the lower 48 states. Winners claim prizes by visiting healingcommunity.giveaway and filling out the form, with Ashley handling the shipping.
A 30-day free membership to healingcommunity.life was offered as a prize. The community conducts approximately 12 Zoom calls per week, including doctor sessions and Tuesday Q&As, with certified coaches and metabolic health practitioners available to support members' individual goals.
Barb holds NBC HWC certification as a board-certified health and wellness coach. This certification is the only one recognized by Medicare, allowing potential insurance claim filing. The team emphasizes they don't simply push carnivore diets but focus on helping individuals achieve their personal health goals.
Viewers shared positive feedback about the documentary, noting the intertwining of stories throughout the film and the reinforcement that healing isn't solely a weight loss journey. Rebecca Reccaman's story was highlighted as particularly impactful. One viewer described it as the best and most heartfelt documentary seen, with real people sharing true testimonies of healing.
For those concerned about fatty liver, the misconception that dietary fat causes fatty liver was addressed. Excessive carbohydrate intake leads to triglycerides being stored in the liver when other fat stores are exhausted. A carnivore diet can reverse fatty liver quickly by eliminating carbs. Regarding kidney concerns, the myth that protein worsens kidney disease was debunked, with testimonials of people reversing kidney disease on carnivore diets. Moderate protein intake appropriate for individual bodies is recommended rather than excessive amounts.
Fasting with a spoonful of beef tallow twice daily was discussed as a valid fasting method. While traditional fasting involves only water and possibly minerals, variations like sardine fasts, butter fasts, or tallow consumption are recognized as personal experimentation approaches, provided they're done safely.
Ashley identified picanha (also called top sirloin) as her favorite cut of beef, noting its incredible fat cap and moist, delicious quality when not overcooked. The conversation touched on South African meat prices, where a 2.5-3 pound tomahawk steak costs approximately $14-15 compared to $60 in the US.
Coach Lisa was mentioned as someone who successfully reversed Graves disease through carnivore diet. Ella Lewig's interview was also referenced as another example of improvement in Graves disease symptoms.
Lynn's documentary participation was highlighted, particularly the emotional airplane flight with her husband after years of being unable to fly together due to her size. The CPAP mask experience was discussed, including the impact on her marriage and the courage required to share such personal details. Dave's perspective on the CPAP mask and Lynn's decision to save the first flight footage for the documentary rather than her personal channel was noted.
Bill's story of returning to Hatcher's Pass in Alaska after decades away was mentioned, with him holding off on the experience until filming could capture the raw emotion. The selection process for documentary participants was discussed, with Lynn initially reviewing over 800 applicants.
Recovery from the 24-hour live stream marathon was shared, with Adam experiencing borderline illness from stress and lack of sleep over four days total, including travel to South Africa. Carrie slept approximately 12 hours following the event. The timing of starting at 5:00 p.m. after already being awake for 14 hours was noted as particularly challenging.
The relationship between environment and addiction was explored, with the perspective that addiction is primarily a metabolic illness affecting the brain rather than solely an environmental issue. While a nurturing environment is beneficial, fixing metabolic health is considered essential for overcoming addiction. Environment plays a supportive role by removing triggers and reducing stress, which can impact healing and stress-eating behaviors.
For those starting carnivore while recognizing serious sugar and carb addiction, cold turkey abstinence was recommended over gradual transition. The addiction is described as a chemical brain addiction where foods are specifically designed to be addictive. The principle that life involves choosing between what hurts and what hurts worse was presented, suggesting that while going carnivore may be difficult initially, remaining addicted is ultimately more harmful.
Google search results initially classified humans as omnivores, which redirected the conversation away from the original question about worldwide population figures. The estimate provided was 8.3 billion people, with the observation that most do not currently follow a carnivore diet. There has been a noticeable increase in people attempting to eat more carnivore-based meals compared to the previous 50 to 75 years.
The expansion of the carnivore community is evident through attendance at Meatstock events. Initial gatherings were small house parties, followed by larger events the next year, then hundreds of attendees, culminating in 1,600 participants at the most recent event. Projections for the upcoming year range from 2,500 to potentially 4,000 attendees. This growth is attributed to people witnessing personal healing and the spread of information through resources like the Healing Humanity documentary.
An alternative population estimate suggested 8.5 billion people worldwide, with the humorous assertion that they simply do not realize they are carnivores yet.
A 30-day free membership to Healing Humanity was awarded to Carney for Health. To claim the prize, the winner should visit healinghumanity.life/giveaway, complete the form, and receive an access link to the new membership site launching November 2nd.
Viewers were encouraged to purchase, rent, or share the Healing Humanity movie through healinghumanity.watch, where they can also watch the trailer or pay it forward for a stranger. The host mentioned transitioning to another live stream with Laura Spath immediately following this session.
- Barb announced an interview with Aaron the Carnivorish Guy immediately following this session
- Barb is currently in Florida for the Menus Retreat with a few remaining spots available at methistreet.com
