Live with Dr Kiltz!!!!
In a Nutshell
Kerry Mann's core message is that fixing metabolic health through carnivore eating—specifically beef, butter, bacon, and eggs—transforms people from "busy dying" to "busy living," with community support being essential for success. The "Healing Humanity" documentary, releasing October 23rd, compiles 20,000 healing stories to reach mainstream audiences via Netflix and distributors, while the HealingHumanity.life platform provides ongoing community with 12 weekly Zoom calls. The ripple effect is clear: his entire family adopted carnivore after his own healing, and personal stories prove more powerful than expert advice for convincing others.

Dr. Kiltz welcomes Kerry Mann as the guest for the live session focused on healing humanity. Kerry mentions that his mother has become an enthusiastic social media manager for carnivore content, recently posting a photo with Dr. Berry across multiple carnivore and keto Facebook groups. His mother has been carnivore for over three years and is thriving.
Kerry attended a screening of "Healing Humanity" in Tennessee where Dr. Berry appeared. The documentary has received support from an extensive volunteer team including Adam, Lynn Davoke (who will join in South Africa), her husband Dave, Ashley Rogers (who has hosted screenings and meetups), and Barb Harreld.
Kerry initially underestimated the difficulty of creating the documentary, comparing it to raising triplets as one of the hardest things he's done. The project required extensive community support and would not have been possible without the team's contributions. Dr. Kiltz has been a major supporter since the beginning, emphasizing that documented stories matter.
Kerry and his wife Jen have been together for 33 years since age 14, with their first date being a movie. After moving to Montello, Wisconsin (population 1,400), they purchased the single-screen movie theater that dates back to 1878, with the building deed going back to 1859. The previous owner contacted them directly before listing the property for sale, and they took over operations approximately four years ago.
Kerry emphasizes that passion for something done for the right reasons leads to success, crediting Dr. Kiltz with this advice from several years ago. The theater was never intended as a profit-making venture, and the family has not taken paychecks during four years of operation. The triplets were 15 when the family took over the business.
The theater operates only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Kerry initially worried about regretting the purchase but has found renewed energy through carnivore eating. The community aspect has been transformative - Kerry describes himself as a former hermit who now embraces community connections formed through the theater.
Kerry describes the carnivore community's distinctive energy at events like the Kalamazoo impact event with Robin. People who have found healing express gratitude, thankfulness, and excitement. He contrasts this with his pre-carnivore state where he was merely trying to get through each day rather than feeling "great, wonderful, thankful, grateful, blessed."
Kerry identifies metabolic health as the single most important factor for healing. He compares metabolic unwellness to having pneumonia - doing the bare minimum while barely functioning. After interviewing hundreds of carnivores for his YouTube channel and documentary, he found that people who fix their metabolic health transition from "busy dying" to "busy living."
Kerry shows a book containing 20,000 stories of healing organized by health condition chapters. Dr. Kiltz wrote the introduction for the women's health chapter, while Dr. Ovadia contributed to the heart disease chapter. The book compiles community-submitted healing stories as a response to the dismissive attitude toward anecdotal evidence.
Kerry's healing came from fixing his metabolic health through diet changes. He initially approached carnivore as an elimination diet rather than trying to embrace eating only meat. He eliminated sugar, food dyes, and chemicals from the compromised food system. While acknowledging some nuance exists (such as adjusting fat-to-protein ratios for specific conditions like seizures), his personal healing came from simply eating beef, butter, bacon, and eggs without counting or measuring.
Kerry emphasizes returning to what is ancestrally appropriate rather than overcomplicating dietary approaches. He advocates for eating meat, breathing air, getting sunshine, and following ancestral patterns while moving away from chemicals and artificial manipulations.
Kerry credits Dr. Kiltz with the concept that "there is no suffering, only strengthening." During his period of depression and declining health, he questioned why suffering kept increasing. With clarity from improved metabolic health, he now views his childhood trauma, multiple surgeries, and health issues as necessary strengthening that enabled his current work and dietary changes.
Kerry states he has never encountered a community as welcoming and inclusive as the carnivore community. He emphasizes that community is critical for dietary success, noting that "you're the sum result of the five people you spend the most time with." Those attempting carnivore alone face decreasing odds of success, while surrounding themselves with supportive people increases success exponentially.
Kerry mentions the HealingHumanity.life community platform as one of many available carnivore communities, noting that his own initial community was the free YouTube comments section with Dante Frigno.
The Healing Humanity community was established after the YouTube channel's success brought repeated requests for ongoing support. People shared that stories like Carrie and Linda Vokey's resonated with them and requested more community connection. The community was created with Adam, Lynn, and the team to help people on their healing path. A secondary purpose emerged when supporters wanted to donate regularly to the cause, with funds designated for the film, series, and related projects.
The community operates with approximately 12 Zoom calls per week. Lynn hosts many calls, Adam set up the infrastructure, and Barb participates frequently. The schedule includes Coach Lisa on Tuesdays, doctor experts like Dr. Kiltz and Dr. Ovedia on Wednesdays, and John the previous week. Thursdays feature Inspire Together calls where participants share healing experiences and maintain accountability. The platform offers courses and functions as a social media network specifically for people who have found healing.
The community represents an investment in a shared cause of healing that all members have witnessed. The approach focuses on fatty meat, eating less frequently, and minimizing or eliminating plants as the optimal strategy. Members recognize that diet changes produce unintended consequences beyond metabolic health and weight loss. The understanding evolved from viewing carnivore as a temporary weight loss method to recognizing it as a comprehensive healing approach from the inside out, allowing the body to reach its naturally intended weight.
The film is scheduled for release on October 23rd, available for streaming from home. Seventeen theatrical screenings were conducted, including one in Orlando with Dr. Kiltz. Pre-order pricing is currently $10 for permanent ownership, with the ability to watch on October 23rd and rewatch in future years. The theatrical screenings were not profit-driven, with some theater rentals costing $2,000, resulting in break-even outcomes.
The distribution strategy targets Netflix and major distributors rather than direct YouTube release. The goal is reaching millions of people outside the YouTube audience. The 17 screenings generated data including sold-out shows in Dallas with 230 attendees on a Tuesday, plus sold-out events in Toronto, Chicago, and Montello. This data, combined with a 30-day streaming window, will be presented to distributors along with Netflix-approved consultant Jeff, who has four films on Netflix.
Documentaries do not generate significant revenue, with most participants earning minimal returns. Any profits from the film will fund a series with episodes covering every health issue. The film will eventually be free everywhere. Pre-order purchases support the effort to reach mainstream audiences through major distributors.
Editor John is currently finishing a 45-minute episode on Rancher Maggie, whose story appears briefly in the film. Additional episodes planned include Bill Nott, Lynn, and potentially one on women's health featuring Dr. Kiltz. Future episodes will address type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions. The film serves to introduce new audiences to the message, with the series providing deeper resources for continued health journeys.
Carnivore success rates should be front-page news, demonstrated by ripple effects extending beyond individual healing. The speaker's mother has been carnivore for over three years in her 70s, along with the stepdad, both sisters, wife, daughters, and extended family. This contrasts with vegan diets, where participants rarely influence friends and family to adopt the same approach. The pattern shows more people transitioning from vegan to carnivore diets than the reverse, with many expressing regret for not discovering carnivore earlier.
Sharing personal stories is strongly recommended, as individual stories saved the speaker's life. Dante Ferrigno, who had similar health issues, was more convincing than doctors or experts because of relatability. Different family members require different storytellers - teenage daughter Emma won't connect with Dante Ferrigno but needs stories from peers like Alia.
Recommendations include starting YouTube channels when possible, appearing on existing platforms like Dr. Kiltz's or Dave Mack's shows, posting on Facebook, or simply being the best example possible. The speaker learned that expecting instant adoption from brief conversations is unrealistic, as their own journey required extensive video watching and learning about heart disease from Dr. Ovedia before committing.
Adopting this eating approach may add 20-30 or possibly 40 years to lifespan compared to continuing with chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. The speaker believes continued previous habits would have resulted in earlier death from cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or other major issues. The recommendation extends to being animal-centric, eating less frequently, and joining Healing Humanity.
The Compassionate Carnivore concept emerged from daughter Emma's transition from veganism. Research revealed that vegan diets cause significant animal death through pesticide poisoning, with 70 million birds dying annually, plus squirrels, bunnies, deer, and insects. Monocropping and farming equipment cause additional destruction. One cow provides hundreds of meals for a family, with the animal having a happy life before slaughter, compared to the torturous deaths from pesticide poisoning.
Emma requested knowing the animals' living conditions, sourcing meat from a sixth-generation neighbor farmer. The Compassionate Carnivore shirt originated from this philosophy, with proceeds initially considered for a documentary. The approach recognizes that being alive requires some animal death, but questions focus on achieving this most compassionately.
The advice evolved from initially recommending strict carnivore for everyone to suggesting strict adherence until healing occurs. People with metabolic dysfunction, significant weight issues, depression, or seizures should begin with strict carnivore rather than fruit and meat diets like Paul Saladino's approach. Once healing is achieved, individuals can decide whether to add elements like salad or guacamole, or continue strict carnivore if feeling optimal.
Many people don't recognize their health problems, similar to the speaker's initial unawareness of fatty liver disease, visceral fat, inflammation, and insulin resistance despite thinking they were fine. The approach emphasizes returning to ancestrally appropriate practices: eliminating chemicals, getting morning sunshine, placing feet in grass, and breathing fresh air. These natural practices become clearer when brain fog from various inputs is eliminated.
COVID-19 highlighted the critical importance of community and connection during a period of forced disconnection. Despite technological connectivity, people became more isolated, particularly when stuck alone at home. The pandemic reset perspectives on taken-for-granted activities like going to stores without masks or connecting with extended family and friends. Movie theaters being closed for years underscored appreciation for previously available activities. Social media and online connections became vital during this period, leading to recognition of global carnivore community achievements.
On day 67 of Carnivore, while filming on a YouTube channel with daughter Emma wearing the Compassionate Carnivore shirt, the idea emerged to create a documentary. The plan was to fund the documentary through shirt sales, with the statement made that day: "How hard could a documentary be?" This decision initiated the entire project.
Emma and Katie have launched their own business making Compassionate Carnivore skin products using tallow sourced from the same sixth-generation farmer neighbor. The tallow can be applied to skin and hair. Dr. Kiltz currently has tallow in his hair. The product is completely natural. Charger Mopar Rick also uses tallow and lard in his hair and has notably dark hair.
Dr. Kiltz reported that a large white spot on his head that Jen used to mock had disappeared on the Carnivore diet, and his hair is getting darker. He contrasts this with previous use of chemicals and detergents that provided no benefit and only caused detriment.
Emma operates her own YouTube channel called Emma the Carnivore, creating cooking videos that mention Compassionate Carnivore products. The business has taken over the downstairs level of the world-famous Montello movie theater, converting it into a manufacturing facility where they bottle products and apply labels. Emma has been largely independent in building the business.
The documentary is no longer doing theatrical screenings. Recent screenings include Impact in Kalamazoo carnivore event and a showing at Low Carb for Better Health in Tennessee this weekend, with possible remaining tickets available through Amanda Decker. The film will be available for pre-order streaming on October 23rd at HealingHumanity.Movie/watch.
Posters for the documentary hang at the Montello Theater, prompting questions from community members about the film and the proper human diet concept. The shirt design similarly generates curiosity and questions from people.
Viewers who have watched the documentary at screenings are encouraged to review and rate it on IMDb by searching "Healing Humanity IMDb." Several dozen testimonies are available on the IMDb page. The 17 screenings have generated significant impact, with viewers reporting life changes including overcoming depression and achieving three-year healing milestones.
At the 17th screening in Tennessee with Dr. Berry, a woman who had previously seen the film in Ohio drove with her son to Tennessee specifically for him to watch it. The son has experienced incredible healing since viewing the documentary. The mother subsequently started the carnivore journey herself and sent an emotional email detailing their healing progress.
The pre-order option at HealingHumanity.movie allows viewers to pay $10 to watch the film. An additional option enables sending the film to a friend after purchase.
KillsHealth.com contains a list of metabolic doctors from across the country, accessible via a map feature.
The theater offers carnivore snacks including pork rinds fried in pork fat without seed oils, and grass-fed beef sticks. Multiple water options are available. Plans exist to add bacon pending a new food license. Carry-in carnivore foods like purse bacon or cooked steak are permitted.
A book project is nearing completion with final touches being added. The release is planned shortly after the film, with work needed at an office in Colorado Springs. The book will be available for streaming everywhere following the movie release.
Three main community calls occur weekly: Tuesday around 5-6 p.m. Central Standard Time, Wednesday at similar times featuring doctors or experts, and Thursday at 6 p.m. Central, with possible time fluctuations based on expert availability.
