What a Heart Surgeon Said About My Carnivore Diet Results
In a Nutshell
Carrie, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and a TIA, reversed her conditions on a carnivore diet started March 2023, with heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia confirming no evidence of cardiomyopathy or CHF, normalized ejection fraction (44% to 60%), CAC score of 0, CRP at 0.42 (no inflammation), A1C 5.2, and triglycerides at 45. Heart disease stems from inflammation and insulin resistance—not cholesterol, which merely repairs vessel damage—prompting Dr. Ovadia to recommend low-carb, animal-based diets rich in meat and fat to prevent it. Top improvements include fully regular heartbeat, normalized heart structure, and zero coronary plaque, proving CHF can improve despite conventional views.

Speaker Carrie: diagnosed with congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, suffered TIA (mini-stroke). Visits Dr. Philip Ovadia, deep dive into 27 heart tests before and after carnivore using AI. Sponsored by LabCore.
Congestive heart failure means heart not effectively pumping blood, leading to fluid buildup in body, noticeable in legs due to gravity, also in lungs and all tissues.
I was under the assumption it would never get better. Is that true?
Common thinking: chronic progressive disease like diabetes, best to manage and keep stable; most cases get worse. Now discovering it can be improved and reversed.
