We Gave an Amish Family a Keto Mojo. We Weren't Ready for This.
In a Nutshell
An Amish family's 17-year-old daughter experienced violent, hours-long seizures nightly until adopting a strict carnivore diet and using a Keto Mojo to maintain deep therapeutic ketosis with a 3:1 fat-to-protein ratio. Her seizures dropped to brief, infrequent episodes, her mother's chronic back pain resolved with major weight loss, and her father became a carnivore advocate planning community outreach including an Amish newspaper story. The $60 Keto Mojo investment is credited with saving her life, prompting plans for a carnivore seminar in their community.

The creators were urgently called by their Amish friend William to visit because his daughter was suffering horribly from seizures. The family was worried the condition was going to take her life. They had taken her on a train from Wisconsin to a special Amish hospital in Mexico to try to treat the seizures. The seizures were not small events but violent episodes lasting hours every single night. She was ripping her hair out and falling into a horrible depression. The creators had previously advised the family to go carnivore and had bought them a Keto Mojo about a month or two earlier, unsure whether the Amish family would use the technology.
Upon arriving, William delivered surprising positive news that caused emotional reactions from both the creators and the Amish family. The 17-year-old daughter, who had been known to the creators since she was around 11 years old, had experienced a miraculous turnaround. The change came through following a carnivore diet combined with using the Keto Mojo device. William stated that this intervention saved her life and that without it, he did not think she would have survived given how violent the seizures had become.
Jen had purchased the Keto Mojo with her own money and delivered it to the family, wondering if they would use the battery-powered electronic device given their Amish lifestyle. The daughter began using the device religiously. She checks her glucose and ketone levels every single day by finger prick. The feedback from the device helps guide her dietary choices. She aims for a 3:1 fat to protein ratio and is achieving deep therapeutic ketosis according to the numbers shared with the creators. The creators are purchasing a second Keto Mojo for the family.
The daughter went strict carnivore and does not cheat despite bread and carbs being prevalent in the Amish community. She decided to take her health into her own hands and committed fully to the protocol. Her father reported that she is very serious about not messing around with the diet because of how close she came to dying. The creators expressed being very proud of her discipline, noting that many adults who are sick will not commit fully or will continue to cheat and therefore do not find healing.
William, described as the most conservative Amish man who typically does not show emotions, nearly cried when sharing the news. He requested multiple copies of Kim's book "Return to Simple" because he wants to help write an Amish-language version to reach his own culture. He is becoming a carnivore evangelist within his community. William reported that friends visited their home seeking healing and asking questions about carnivore. He expressed interest in having the creators return to speak to the community, suggesting they could hold an event in their yard using the pews and benches that travel between Amish homes for church services. He also spoke with the editor of a major Amish newspaper (produced on a typewriter since the community lacks internet and phones) about running a story on keto and carnivore to help others in the community.
Esther, William's wife, had also adopted carnivore prior to their daughter's treatment. She lost a significant amount of weight and no longer experiences the severe back pain that previously forced her to quit working and required William to rub her back regularly. The creators noted that Esther looked like a different person, appearing tiny, happy, smiling, glowing, and free from pain.
The daughter's seizures have decreased dramatically from lasting hours every night to only a couple of minutes when they occur, and they continue to reduce in frequency. Previously the entire family was kept awake all night, affecting their flower business and ability to work at the Amish auction. William predicted that by the time the creators return in a week or two, she may be completely seizure-free.
William previously relied on hearing his daughter's loud snoring to know she was breathing during the night. After starting carnivore, she became so quiet while sleeping peacefully that he had to turn on the gas lantern multiple times to check that she was still breathing, similar to an experience the male creator had after starting carnivore when his wife worried he had died in his sleep due to the absence of snoring.
The family's son recently suffered a concussion and traumatic brain injury after being kicked in the head. The creators mentioned they have relevant stories to share, including the male creator's buddy Adam who had a traumatic brain injury, and plan to discuss this further in a future video.
The creators plan to return to the family with electrolytes (shout out to Salter) and a second Keto Mojo for the son. They received permission to bring cameras as long as faces are blurred. They intend to hold a carnivore seminar for the entire Amish community. The creators emphasize that this approach to healing applies to everyone regardless of race, religion, or culture, stating "this is healing humanity, it's for everyone."
The creators promote their membership site HealingHumanity.life, which costs $15 for 30 days of access. They conduct about 12 Zoom calls per week including Q&A sessions on Tuesdays, Inspire Together sessions on Thursdays, and guest appearances by doctors and experts such as Kim (author of Return to Simple), Professor Thomas Seafrey, Dr. Georgia E, heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovedia, and Dr. Sean Baker. They recommend the Keto Mojo device for achieving deep therapeutic ketosis and note they have an Amazon affiliate link. The creators state their mission is to reach millions of people with this message of healing.
The creators reflect that the $60 spent on the Keto Mojo potentially saved the daughter's life, comparing it favorably to spending the same amount on jeans, Starbucks, or a family movie. They encourage viewers to subscribe and stay tuned for more videos about this Amish family, including coverage of the son's injury and the planned carnivore conference.
