This is a special edition of the Keto Cookout with no link in the chat to join yet. The show originates from studios in Jacksonville, Florida, hosted by the Homesick Buckeye with his sister Laura. The format is described as a time to grill, chill, or kill together.
Kerry Man Jr. joins from Wisconsin. He is described as a future award-winning movie producer, the hardest working man on YouTube, a carnivore with a passport. Adam Lacy joins from Dayton, Ohio. He is an award-winning photographer, soon-to-be award-winning cinematographer, and one of the founders in the hall of fame of the Keto Cookout, present from day one.
Kerry found incredible healing through the carnivore diet, losing 100 pounds from his heaviest weight and overcoming depression and anxiety. He displays a large bin of medication that he no longer uses. On day 67 of his journey, he decided to make a documentary about his experience.
The project began approximately three years ago. Kerry and Adam have traveled around the planet filming and finishing the documentary. Kerry initially showed what appeared to be a prop bin of medications, but confirmed they were real prescriptions taken near the end of his health struggles, approximately 10 medications simultaneously.
Russ describes himself as the unofficial chief executive officer of social media arguments, fights, and conflicts, serving as the official attack dog of Healing Humanity. He jokes about bootlegging the movie on VHS for a dollar each, with Rick being the only purchaser due to having a VHS player.
Viewers mentioned include Sy from Louisiana, Carnivore Wayne, Marla Kelly, D Lee, Jerry, Bruce, Cheeseburger Eddie (also known as Uncle Charlie), Super Tuna, and Dr. Nelson. Russ maintains ongoing banter with chat participants throughout the stream.
The film screened in 17 cities worldwide with several sell-outs, including 230 people in Dallas on a Tuesday night. Theatrical screenings are now complete. The film is available for pre-order at healinghumanity.watch for $10, granting lifetime streaming access. The official release date is October 23rd, making it available globally on that date.
Multiple people have watched the film multiple times. A woman drove from Ohio to Tennessee to rewatch it and bring her son. Several viewers have been inspired to change their diets after seeing the film. The film will bypass traditional staggered release patterns that affect other documentaries, allowing simultaneous global access.
Adam describes presenting at Meatstock in front of 1,600 people as humbling, noting the audience's hunger for healing information for themselves and family members. The public premiere drew approximately 1,400 attendees. A gentleman who attended a private screening reversed his type 2 diabetes within three months and returned to watch the film again at the Montello premiere.
Pre-orders are critical for demonstrating demand to large distributors like Netflix. The 17 theatrical screenings provided data points, and current pre-orders strengthen their position with distributors. The window to achieve mainstream distribution is described as limited and time-sensitive.
Dad (Russ's father) joins the stream. When asked what they would do differently if making the documentary again, both Kerry and Adam state they would not change anything, viewing the struggles and mistakes as necessary steps that led to their current position. They acknowledge making critical errors and extensive learning along the way.
Future projects mentioned include a potential series. Adam notes that lessons learned will make backend processes less chaotic for subsequent productions. A Healing Humanity calendar concept was discussed, potentially featuring recipes from featured individuals and tracking meetups.
Questions from chat include whether Netflix or Hulu might pick up the film, and whether a calendar could track meetups and videos. The team confirms they are working on distribution deals while acknowledging the challenges of achieving mainstream placement.
Healing Humanity documentary is available for pre-order at healinghumanity.watch/watch. The film will begin streaming on October 23rd. Viewers have the option to rent or purchase the documentary. Purchasing allows keeping the film to watch repeatedly and share with family. Viewers are encouraged to leave reviews at imdb.com to support the project and help facilitate similar future projects.
The documentary follows several people with different types of ailments who changed their diet and changed their lives. It chronicles these individuals along with the doctors involved. The film is designed to help skeptical viewers who have heard the benefits but need inspiration to try the approach. Those who have seen the film report lots of laughing and crying. The documentary includes a theme song.
The program menu does not start with five dates in the morning. Instead, the recommendation is to start the day with bacon and eggs, specifically beef bacon. Melvin's father has come a long way from eating more vegetables and fruits and is now open to eating more meat, particularly beef and lamb.
The theme song lyrics include:
We are healing. Healing humanity is shining out a light so bright that all the world can see. We are living feeling strong and free and we're turning lives around with the truth that we have found. We're healing humanity.
Additional verses include variations such as "we're turning lives around cuz we're eating beef that's ground" and "we're turning lives around cuz we put them biscuits down."
For someone with Parkinson's disease whose spouse is seeking resources, recommended channels include Dave Mack's channel. Ben Bikman's page covers educational content on neurological disorders including Parkinson's, ALS, and MS.
All neurological disorders of any type benefit from ketosis. The ketogenic diet has been used as treatment for over 100 years, starting with epileptics. Any brain-related condition and nerve conditions can improve with the ketogenic carnivore diet. Those with neurological conditions are among the few situations where concentrating on being in ketosis is particularly important. Ketosis is possible even for vegans or vegetarians, though easier and more enjoyable with meat.
A little bit of organ meat once in a while functions as a superfood. Many people do not eat organ meats either due to taste preferences or objections. When asked if the perfect diet is possible without eating organ meats, the answer was "probably pretty close." Some people who initially ate organ meat quite a bit when starting carnivore no longer consume it regularly.
Theaters do not serve real butter, with approximately 99% of theaters not serving real butter. Coconut oil is used to cook the kernels. Popcorn was one of the foods that tempted failure on carnivore early on, as it was previously consumed daily.
An Amish girl with epilepsy who was having seizures every single night for years now has zero seizures after adopting carnivore. Several other people in the Amish community have started carnivore. A second carnivore Amish meetup is planned with approximately 25 people from a community about an hour away. The Amish community eats meat but also consumes significant amounts of baked goods, cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits, and bread. Amish individuals purchase retired racehorses to pull buggies.
For candida, the recommendation is fatty meat and eggs with the yolks. Sugar feeds candida and must be eliminated. Fruit should be avoided because fructose makes candida worse. Fermented foods that help include yogurt, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, and sauerkraut. Store-bought kombucha has significant carbs, while homemade kombucha that has been fermented out has fewer carbs.
Both adult children grew up on keto since starting in 1991, the year the daughter was born. They continue heavy meat-based eating. The son had ADHD and finds he does well avoiding sugar, pops, and dyes while eating primarily beef, deer, and no chicken or pork. Grandchildren eat heavy meat-based diets through hunting and fishing activities. The family emphasizes self-reliance.
The bootleg film comments were jokes. The show features lots of jokes and silliness.
Those with high ferritin should not consume liver or liver supplements. Genetic testing for hemochromatosis may be warranted. Frequent blood donation may be beneficial. High vitamin A levels may occur from consuming large amounts of liver or taking liver supplements daily.
Cod liver provides similar vitamin and mineral benefits to beef liver, though without the heme iron. For those who dislike the taste of liver in any form, options include cutting liver into small pieces, freezing it, and swallowing whole, or purchasing desiccated organs in capsule form.
Liver consumption is not mandatory for carnivore success. Many people on carnivore do not eat liver or take liver supplements and do not experience vitamin deficiencies.
Ruminant meat is the best source of heme iron. Vitamin A does not exist in vegetables and fruits. Beta carotene exists in plant foods but converts very poorly in humans.
Currently on day six of the lion diet, consisting of strict beef, specifically ground beef cooked in a cast iron skillet with a propane torch to create a crust. No eggs, bacon, cheese, or blue cheese are consumed during this period.
A guest mentions knowing someone who can provide zebra meat at a good price, though they are struggling to source antelope knuckles. The conversation notes that zebras are not ruminants, unlike typical livestock. Lions eat zebras, which connects to the lion diet approach being discussed.
The group confirms they will have a booth at Hack Your Health this weekend on Saturday, but no viewing party is planned. By the time the event occurs, the documentary will already be available for streaming, allowing people to watch on their phones during the event.
Brain fog is addressed with the suggestion to eat more fat. MCT oil is specifically mentioned as a solution for mental clarity.
A carnivore game show idea emerges where participants determine whether animals are ruminants or not. Giraffes are mentioned as non-ruminants, and there's a practical note about giraffe legs not fitting into standard lard pots.
The question arises about which meat is most nutritious overall. The response indicates that ruminant meats like beef, goat, and lamb are excellent choices. Goat was recently enjoyed and described as delicious, while lamb was eaten the same day.
Beef and lamb are widely available. Some USDA-inspected lockers sell deer. Aldi stores frequently carry lamb. Costco provides lamb racks. Spanish supermarkets and halal markets reliably stock goat, though navigating around large bags of beans may be required at some locations.
The show acknowledges blind viewers participating in the program. Adam receives compliments about his appearance at meetups and being best dressed. There's playful banter about him being a cardboard cutout rather than appearing in person.
Lighthearted suggestions are made about potential romantic connections within the carnivore community, with Adam being encouraged to pursue these opportunities.
A story is shared about someone being surprised by how much better looking someone appeared in person, specifically mentioning beautiful eyes. This led to an incident described as carnivore violence at a screening.
Russ receives thanks for his kind words and for hosting the show. The hosts acknowledge that many sick people have found healing and smiles through the community. Russ is recognized for creating a space where people can laugh, hang out, and have fun beyond just discussing health topics.
Kerry is acknowledged for doing significant work in the carnivore space beyond doctors and coaches. His channel, The Tree, has inspired many people to start their own channels and change their lives. The value of regular, down-to-earth individuals in the movement is highlighted.
The show concludes with instructions to keep carbs low and fats and proteins high. The next episode is scheduled for Tuesday, with viewers encouraged to have a good rest of the week.
