SO COOL Kerry 🎉Dr Westman is the greatest and practices this way of lifestyle in his practice
Dr Westman’s channel was amongst the first I came across a few years ago when exploring better ways of eating and looking after health. Doing great work indeed, and you too, Kerry!
Dear Kerry, you are genius now! Very good point about our so called free will 😉 And we can be too.
Kerry, your experiences on carnivore align with mine and my wife's. It is the simplest miracle we can gift ourselves. And it has been so easy for us to do. All cravings disappeared after the first three days. All arthritis disappeared after 30 days, and it had been severe. Now 11 months in and 60+ pounds lighter, I have been reborn. My free will is no longer restricted by physical limitations caused by the standard American diet.. Thanks for the great ways you and Dr. Eric Westman spread the word.
I love your show, Terry.
Our food makes us sick, our healthcare makes us sicker!
Amen to that! I always swore I would not be one of those people who had a lazy susan full of medicine bottles, but every year, I have to take more of them.
And they rake in the money. 💰 🤑 💸

I’m a 46 yo old male…6’ 1”. I started low carb diet in 2/8/24. After 6 weeks I transitioned to strict carnivore. I was 270lbs taking BP meds, GERD meds, allergy meds to help with my chronic nasal congestion. I had knee pain walking upstairs and I would get out of breath. Although not diagnosed, my snoring and sleep patterns reported by my wife probably indicated that I had sleep apnea. I struggled with loss of focus and teetered on the edge of anxiety and depression in and out.
At around 6 weeks, my BP readings were dropping precipitously. I stopped all of my meds (after consultation with my doctor). BP remains at or below 120/70. GERD is gone. Nasal congestion is gone. Snoring is gone. Brain fog is gone and focus level is back up. I weighed 210 this morning. I still have a little to lose, but 60 lbs down in 3ish months. As a side note…over the last couple of years I had developed extreme susceptibility to the sun. I would burn in less than 15 min. I can now sit in the direct sun for hours without burning like it was when I was a kid playing outside all day.
I try not to be “preachy” about this with my people. But it is hard to sit on it as I feel, like others, that I’ve been lied to about diet throughout my life. People ask me what is the one most important thing I e learned over the last 3 months? I tell them “that almost everything we’ve been taught about diet since we were kids is wrong and we should, almost without exception, do the exact opposite”.
I hope this comment encourages others!
I meant to say…I appreciate Dr. Westman very much. Thanks to him for his lifelong work, and for having the courage to share it on social media for others to hear. Your mild manner, yet clear communication that comes out of experience is refreshing!
Thanks for sharing your journey!
I achieved this with intermittent fasting
You absolutely are a great encouragement. Thank you very much.
I get kind of angry any time I realize how doctors failed me, my children, my sister and my mom throughout the years. Now I'm 60, and better than ever! Yesterday I found that I weigh the same as at 18 yrs old: 70kg! Started keto in 2018, with 90-92k g😮 No more all the pains inside and out that I suffered from, good skin, strengh, no more brain fog, and I could go on! Oh, I can't wait to watch Healing Humanity!! Hope it will shake the Earth!!!!
IKR? I was on metformin for years but my A1C kept climbing, but my error was trusting doctors to look out for me. When it hit 10.1, my PCP went crazy about I now had diabetes on and on. I had already decided to do Keto II was sort of following Dr. Berg at the time) so I wasn't worried about reversing things. Still, it took 2.5 years before I had decent blood work (A1C 5.6, later 5.2), then I had my heart attack, but that's another story.
I agree, I've been lied to for 60 years so food companies can make money and doctors can have cottages, fancy cats and our money from us being sick.
Ditto
Your story is identical to mine, including the age. I dumped all my meds and have never felt better.
@@omnimetric84 All doctors are astonished when I answer that I take no medication. At that age and no medication??!! - they ask - You have to do some Labs!
Laughable!!
The first time doctors told me I was terminal was in 2015. I bet my life on the carnivore diet. I'm now three years post surgery, cancer free and living my best life at 63. It's been a wild ride that has taught me so much. It's all right there for everyone but most people will never see it. It's heartbreaking.
Congratulations ❤
I'm so glad you are here to share your story, Gordon. May you live a long, happy and healthy life. 🕊🙏
Congratulations 🎉
I'm doing semi carnivore with some veg
Wow, what a fantastic journey!
I started my carnivore diet journey August 29th of last year (2023). I was 257.1 lbs. I weighed in today at 190.3 lbs and I'm feeling *outstanding*! Had two hamburger patties, two eggs, and bacon for lunch. Will eat steak for dinner... I'll sleep well tonight and I'll weigh less tomorrow. Gout? Arthritis in my knees? Both gone for the last 8-1/2 months! I tell everyone I can about the dangers of carbohydrates. Thank you for this channel!
Thx is wonderful. We’re have almost the same Carnivore birthday. 17 August last hear. 273 days.
👏👏👏👏👏👏. I’ll be 76 in July and I can believe how great going carnivore has been for me .
Day 35 !
@@nancyfahey7518 Awesome! Keep it up and good luck!
Thanks for your great videos. In the ost year being on carnivore with a couple of months backsliding, I’ve lost and maintained 60 lbs and am close to being rid of my diabetes. I’m back in the saddle and back to losing after a few months eating a few bad things daily, increasing my carb intake. It’s not a Good feeling whereas staying carnivore is the best thing for me!
When you start experiencing feeling well, it's very hard not to be angry at the system.
And that anger shows that your brain fog has cleared.
Kerry is a hero for humanity! TY Dr Westman for amplifying his voice. Let’s heal!

My husband and I started on April 19th. The day after an extremely stressful doctor appointment on the 18th. I am 66, he is 72. We have been trying for a year to find help with our health issues and no help from our doctors. I was diagnosed 5 years ago with fibromyalgia and, no cartridge left in my knees, and morbid obesity. Pain all over and totally exhausted by the afternoon every single day. But my blood tests weren't bad enough to do anything about it. This is just the tip of frustration but the bottom line is we took it upon ourselves after watching Dr Ken Berry and Dr Westman to try what they were telling us. I have lost 8 lbs in a little over 3 weeks. My knees are no longer hot with inflammation and pain. My so called fibromyalgia no longer gives me pain. My sleep is so much better. I don't eat junk or crave sweets. I actually have some energy! My husband has lost about 5 lbs. No longer snacking on junk food. He is walking 2 miles daily and feeling much better! This is a new beginning that we are fortunate enough to experience.
Congratulations on your new life.
I started on 25th February 2024 and on 7th May came off my last medication after almost 20 years.
I was on insulin, metformin, anti-depressants and levothyroxine.
I have lost 13kg and 6" off my waist.
@NiceLoki Congratulations, I started carnivore May 3 of this year and by week 2 lost 15.4 kg. I was originally 180 kg at 74 years of age. I take insulin only periodically, usually when my bs exceeds 6.3 and this may occur during the day or in the evening. I test my blood 8 times a day.
I no longer take antidepressants, I just don't need them. The pain in my left knee is finally gone, but I still need a 4 wheel walker, but am gaining quad muscle strength daily. I weigh myself once a week, that's it.
I set my time on carnivore for 100 days as an objective, but based on how I feel I will probably continue on it. I currently eat twice a day within a 6 hour period, and I am not hungry the rest of the time. I have 0 cravings and was a chocoholic and I just don't want it anymore.
I am hoping to quit taking Teva-Diltiazem for my A-fib. To avoid A-fib I drink 3.25 litres a day as dehydration was the cause of my A-fib attacks.
One thing I may not be able to stop is blood thinners that I have had to take for 36 years because of pulmonary embolism. My heritage is known for thick blood, I guess it's called warrior class blood.
Someday soon I want to walk more than 150 meters without shortness of breath, but time will tell as I get stronger.
Again Congratulations on your carn8vore success.
@@censured-again wow that sounds amazing! Congratulations.
Was recently diagnosed with nasal and bladder cancer(the past week) and have gone carnivore with extensive fasting. Can't afford Chemo so this is all I have. Smoking has ruined me but, here I am.
I wrecked my health and I don't expect to come back from it but, I can at least enjoy my last days in relative health.
Wish more people talked about bladder cancer.
Listen to Dr Thomas Seyfried about cancer and metabolism.
Look up blessings on my journey..he has stage 4 prostate cancer..he had 3 months to live..2 years later he is fighting

@@lilofee27772 Will do thanks!
@@dramarcelanovoa8395 I'm still pretty young so I'm hopeful for a few more good years! Every day is a blessing regardless of health issues!
Carnivore was such a life changing experience for me. Not just weight, mental health, brain fog, auto immune gone, no more poop issues, don't get sunburnt, no more erection issues, and this is just the things i can think of.
I'd give up any food to be able to get rid of my GERD and Lupus.
You don't get sunburnt? 🤔 I mean weight, mental health, brain fog, etc. would also be nice, but this is the first time I've heard of no more sunburns.
@@tb6303 Really? I've heard a lot of people mention it and to be completely honest I didn't even notice at first despite being a pale ginger who used to get burnt by looking at the sun. Now I can be in the sun all day without sunscreen and simply tan. I don't understand what the science is but people have to take this more seriously.
@@wisdomandy9361 Yep, never heard of it. I appreciate you pointing it out.
Im a retired MD (military and family physician) and im FURIOUS. When i graduated and started practice in the late 1970s, we just didnt see all if this nutrition based chronic disease. It just didn't exist and very new people were obese. The very few dieticians around were employed for ICU patients in hospital. As folks started getting sick and fat, the schools of dietetics were established and the professors of nutrition stepped in and said "Dont you worry your head about this stuff, Doc. We'll take this on for you". This coincided with a massive increase in stuff i had to learn and keep up with, so it seemed sensible. What they didn't tell us was that they sold their souls to processed food makers and the Seventh Day Adventist church from day 1. Whole university departments accept massive funding from industry, the research was paid for by industry, and they are STILL doing it. Beware medical schools that are planning to introduce nutrition training because they're following orthodox, industry funded recommendations.
We have to our own health advocate …. People who aren’t are pretty much doomed!
Can well appreciate your frustration. The same goes for us, here in the UK. If you could walk into my local hospital now, see the staff, nurses, doctors, paramedics etc…you probably WOULDN’T be surprised to note that many of them are young and already looking overweight & unhealthy. It’s actually very worrying.
I think you would be interested in Dr GaryFettke’s story and what his wife Belinda found out about the Seventh Day Adventists here in Australia and NZ
@fiona4731 I know it very well. Also dieticians were behind the persecution of Tim Noakes in South Africa. Doctors are guilty of dropping the ball but are not the prime perpetrators of the modern nutritional apocalypse. What little medicos know has been handed to them by professional and academic nutritionists
@@cassieoz1702 what was done to Prof Noakes was disgraceful
I am 65 and went carnivore after 3 visits to tbe cath lab for heart attacks.
Lost 1/3 of my body weight (now 155lbs at 6'1"!), no more BP meds, no more statins, no more inflamation, no more joint pain, etc.
Haven't felt like this since i was a teenager.
What does your Cardiologist say about your diet? Mine gave me a “Healthy Keto” food list that was plant based and whole grain heavy! I accepted it politely and threw it away when I got home.
@@DebraRN1195grains are inhumane! Only animals should eat grains, it is feed, not human food. I understand why humans ate grains 2000 years ago they needed carbs and energy to work, but we solved this issue, we have access to any type of food from all around the world now.
@DebraRN1195 He "tolerates" me but doesn't actually understand.
I am 84 and I am Carnivore. I heal my diabetes and all pain which I had pain in my knees and my back and one of the things I did not expect was the cracked heels are gone. I wish I had known all of this years ago, but I’m glad I know it now.
I started keto (not carnivore) at 55 and my winter cracked heels vanished! I cycle back-and-forth between carnivore and keto and they have never returned
I went full Carnivore in the beginning of December 2023. In 3 weeks I lost 22lbs! I was not that overweight but felt miserable with all kinds of aches and pains and severe Headaches. I'm 65 and just thought it was my age. I have had High blood pressure for like ever. I don't smoke or drink but I had no limits when it came to food. My goal was to lose 37lbs and I did it and moved to a Keto type diet. I don't eat any processed foods. No Ice Cream anymore, no bread and tbh I don't miss it at all. If I need need a fix I eat a small square of 90% Dark Chocolate. I now weigh my target weight of 155lbs and feel great! My doctor told me to stop the Blood pressure meds. My blood work is fantastic. My doctor was shocked when she saw me on a health visit and couldn't believe what I accomplished. I can't recommend it enough to start eating correctly. Like I was always told "you are what you eat". I love watching these videos.
There are a lot of benefits from eating dark chocolate. I wouldn't even consider it as a 'fix' food, but I understand why you limit it because it could be a slippery slope. Sounds like your willpower is in check though. Congrats on your success!
Yes, they say, “you are what you eat”. Does it mean, when you eat plants, you are a plant? I made from protein and fat, I eat meat for the last 10 months. It was a 90 days challenge in the beginning…. 😀
This is my story. Started carnivore a year ago and I'm down 100+ lbs and feel great. No more cpap, skin is great, no more aches and pains, mental clarity and overall better better mental health.
Just dumpimg grains from my diet was revolutionary. That was 11 years ago. Since then I have had to drop legumes since developing an autoimmune condition, and oxalates since kidney stones. Now I have greatly reduced plants. I miss plants. I like plants. But more and more I discover through experience that they are bad for my health.
I miss chocolate & used to buy up all the large solid chocolate bunnies and eat one (or as much as I could consume) for dinner after Lent. I called it the chocolate bunny diet & likely contributed to my 10.1 A1C
You'll get over missing plants, at least I did. I used to also love them, now I wonder why 😂
I used to love salads. No longer. The longer I am carnivore, the less I want anything else.
I’ve done strict carnivore, but I honestly feel better with some limited plants and a handful of blackberries . And I also feel better having daily bowel movements. I guess we’re all a little different. I don’t miss processed food AT ALL
@@tootstoyou1 Why would you not have daily bowel movement? I do for over 3 years on carnivore. Sounds like you were not eating enough.
However, carnivore does not have to be ‘strict’. The definition is 70% or more of meat and it’s not a religion. Eat how you feel best eating.
Thank you for this great video. With Keto I have lost 125 pounds, reversed diabetes, chronic knee pain, acid reflux and severe fatigue. High blood pressure and sleep apnea are much improved. I feel like I have my life back.
How long did it take to see those benefits?
Similar experience, my joint pain faded first & I lost 4 inches around my waist (I don't even remember when I was 32 waist), but it took 2.5 years for my bloodwork to catch up. Unfortunately, the damage had been done & now I have to deal with mainstream cardiologists
@@eringo-bragh4243 same here - long term damage (and cardio problems from a huge chest infection that wasnt treated properly). But carnivore gave me my mobility and health after 30 years of crohns and arthritis and inflammatory diseases. Staying with it. Thrown away the wheel chair and mobility scooter, and no longer need 24 hour care.
@@tfun101 since Dec 2022, so about 18 months so far.
It's because you do have your life back! Good job! I had all the same as you plus skin tags, hip arthritis, and fatty liver! All gone and good riddance forever!

I love that guy's passion. I love the joy he feels being healthy eating meat after years of eating the crappy high carb diet. I myself suffered most of my life from ADHD until I got on the Keto diet and then found that my "Brain Fog" disappeared.
I’m an esophagectomy survivor, cancer and chemo took its toll on me, I’m on a modified Carnivore diet with a tiny amount of berries and very little bites of sweet potatoes occasionally. I eat every few hours because my surgery can only handle tiny amounts. I thank God daily for my ability to improve my life, it’s very hard not having a functioning stomach, now a tiny conduit in my chest with a esophagus, also, a conduit, it all works on gravity have no muscles. Carnivore is helping. I’m still having intestinal problems and bile but better.
Im 59 yo. I was 395lbs dec 1st 2023 i am now doing carnivore for 168 days and i am down to 301lbs and i am off of about ten meds for edema heart issues cholesterol nueropathy sleep apnea and snoring are gone also. I have energy and can breath now.carnivore saved my life. I couldnt walk 20 feet to put my trash to the curb without taking a rest to get back to the front door now i can walk 2 miles. Eat meat get strong get healthy. Live longer.

I have an illness the medical community doesn’t give a crap about. I’ve suffered to the point of wanting to die everyday! They say this illness has a 5 percent chance of recovery. I have been stuck in my house and stuck in a recliner or in my bed for the last 7 years. Told there’s no cure. I’ve tried everything and spent a fortune trying to figure this thing out, trying to break free from ME/CFS prison!! My first month on carnivore things started changing drastically! I’m almost five months in now and things aren’t perfect, but I’ve been able to go shopping with a friend, plant some flowers, and do some work in my shop. All these things were impossible only months ago. I only eat beef and egg yolks and it’s giving me my life back!!! So simple. Yes, I’m angry as hell! I was told to eat lots of grains and fruit and veg. It made things so much worse!! Doctors are ill informed on nutrition and they no longer get a pass! The information is out there. DO NO HARM!
Edited for spelling error.
That’s wonderful. So happy for your new found freedom. 👏🇦🇺
I'm so glad that you have been able to improve your life so much. I have a friend with ME. Maybe I can share your post with her. So far I have completely failed to sell her the idea of glucose intolerance and low carb. Just for my curiosity, why do you avoid eating the egg whites? After all, I believe they are pure protein.
Very amazing story, friend. Very touching and heartwarming. Very happy for you!!..🎉❤❤
Awesome, so glad you are getting around now. Keep going you can do this.😅
I started a low carb diet Christmas of 2022, then Carnivore Jan 2024. At 67, I have lost almost 40 lbs, but more importantly, i feel like i have lost 40 years. Aches and pains i didn't even know i had are gone. I have followed Dr. Westman's channel from the beginning because his approach is always sensible, and yet he is willing to buck the system when justified. I too am angry about how the medical profession has not only let us down, but as a whole has lied to us and caused our health issues. Three heart attacks later i find that my problems are due to following the advice of liars!
Dr Westman you are a gift to humanity. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH.
I am 67, carnivore, and more alive than ever before.
Hi Bert, 68 here and agree. Feeling the best in ages. 🇦🇺👋🏻
@@AnneMB95566 years here. Same!
67 years old and feeling like 47. Love my new way of eating.
That is great! I have to ask do you worry about your cholesterol levels and future heart disease? I want to try Keto to heal some pain but I'm cautious and get nervous about cholesterol.
@@Sconzette No I don't worry about cholesterol. It has become more than clear in scientific circles that LDL is NOT an indicator of cardiovascular disease risk. There is a higher association of CVD/stroke incidence with long term overconsumption of carbohydrates, processed foods, seed oils and junk food. That is what we avoid when doing keto or carnivore. So go for it, cut the carbs, go keto and get healthy!
I am 76 and have been on carnivore for 2 & 1/2 years. I feel like I did when I was in my 30's. I walk 2 to 5 miles a day, strength train every other day, have so much energy I can go all day and never get tired. I no longer have IBS, high BP, arthritis in my hands is gone, acid reflux gone, brain fog gone, sleep greatly improved, joint pain gone! I am sure I have forgotten a few things. But most importantly, I feel so amazing and happy! 😊 OH, and I lost 27 lbs. that I gained during menopause and could not lose for many years!
The first time I ever heard about carnivore and the benefits it brings, I thought everyone was lying about it. I thought that there was no way something so simple could bring such magical results. Live and learn.
The hardest thing for me is to not be a diet nag lol. I tell people what I'm doing and they think I'm crazy. Then they proceed to tell me about all of their health problems. SMH. It's like knowing the secret to life and no one will listen. Quite frustrating for me, but someday I will convince someone to join us 😁
Carnivore has been amazing for me. I’ve been on it for just over 3 months, I’m 45, I’ve lost 43 Lbs. I was pre diabetic, on ozempic and metformin (which I’m no longer on) and my ha1c went from 6.9 to 5.2 w out meds! My energy is hugely increased, I have had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue for over 20 years and have no symptoms anymore. Also have had anxiety and depression since I was 14, I’ve had no anxiety and my depression is completely gone, I’m reducing my meds right now. I am so much happier and healthier on carnivore, so happy to have found it. 😊
Got a breakfast cereal commercial while watching the video…I could feel my blood sugar going up just watching it!
I remember sprinkling my Cheerios with sugar (twice) and then sucking up the sugar-milk to finish it off. Elementary school addict, right there.

None of my doctors actually helped me. The best thing ever was eating carnivore and getting off all meds and feeling better than I have in 30 years. My wife and I appreciate you Dr Westman. I can't say enough about how well I feel. 9+ mos strong and going.
Yup.. reversed NAFLD. My doctor in Wichita Kansas in 2020 basically said: either change your diet or get on the liver transplant list. All of my liver tests were high. GGT was over 300. Now, ALT and AST are way low and my GGT is back in the normal range.
Weight dropped, glucose fell, blood pressure fell, eyesight got better, have a lot more energy,, the list goes on! Got one of my friends on low carb and all of his symptoms, including Chron's went away.
I'd be so grateful if you could share info on your friend with crohn's disease. Was he on any medication for his crohn's... and was he able to stop the medication???
@@virtuallyme2518 .. yes, he was doing infusions (not sure which drug) every 8 weeks.

Dr Westman your wisdom is evident every day but is best summarized by the sentence “I practice the best internal medicine of my life without drugs.” That is the healing so many providers seek when they enter the medical field, only to be led astray by false promises made by drug companies. Thank you for all you do! 🙏🤩💥
@rfross64 Truth! I agree! 💯☝🏼😊

To be honest I've watched Kerry 6 months ago and he changed my life. I'm 44 and I've dropped over 28kg in this period. I feel amazing and I feel great. Carnivore is the only diet that I've sustained for over 6 months and I feel so good and not thinking about food anymore.
I eat when I'm hungry and I eat what benefits my health.
I started my journey on the full carnivore diet on 3rd Jan 2024. Was 82kg - now 66kg. Been 66kg for about 7 weeks and trying to break the plateau. No more knee pain or back pain. No more itchy skin. Snoring a little- not a lot. GOUT IS GONE 🤗
I'm 75. I've been carnivore a little over 2 years, after 2 years on keto. At my last physical in Oct 2023 my doctor told me based on my blood work I'm heathier now than I was at age 65, when I was 70 pounds over-weight, had very high blood pressure, and was prediabetic. Today, I'm down 90 pounds and I weigh exactly the same as I did when I was 24 (165). My blood pressure is normal and I'm no longer prediabetic.
When I realized that we'd been lied to with just about everything on 2014, I was furious yes! It took me 2 years to get over my anger and then I grieved the loss of a system that cared (which ours never did), then came acceptance. After that, it's just the way it is. No real feeling about it anymore. Sometimes angry because others don't see it, try to help and they don't want it. But mostly just disgust at the systems we have to live with
Same here. It's a travesty seeing people killing themselves. But they want it.
He is totally right. It's so wrong that the greed in this world is costing us our health. I won't comply with that program. Keto for me all the way. Thanks Dr. Westman for all you do.
Hi Patty, How did you start Keto,. What do your meals consist of in one day? I am having a tough time with this. sigh
I’m two months in and NO changes at all. Is it too soon for me? I hear stories people saying they’ve lost 30 first month or more.
Hello! My story: I started clean keto June 2018. Transitioned after 5 years keto, to Carnivore in June 2023, after watching Kerry's 30 Day Carnivore video, from HomesteadHow CZcams channel.
Over the past 5 years and 11 months, I have taken my life back, healing from the inside out, and lost 168 lbs. No longer using a wheelchair, or CPAP machine. Just had my yearly physical and blood work done and all my tests and numbers are good and normal!
Kerry is genuinely and rightly, enthusiastic about the Proper Human Diet and how it has changed his life and thousands of others, including myself, by choosing this way of eating and lifestyle.
Healing Humanity with the Proper Human Diet. Dr. Ken D. Berry, MD and Dr. Eric Westman have paved the road in this journey for millions! Thank you for your truth and your boldness! God bless you all!😊❤️🙏🏼☝🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m on day 17 of Carnivore. Started at 287 pounds. Day 14 I’m down 21 pounds.
As a nurse I’m sorta angry. I remember microbiology and knowing how diabetes works but when we got to the patient care, they’re eating all kinds of crap. I don’t get it. My mother in law was a T2D and she followed her docs advice to the letter. She was size 8 after slimming down from midlife. But her doc told her a croissant, half a banana, and a small glass of OJ was a fine breakfast. I’ve been keto since age 54 (60 now) and haven’t felt better since my 20s. I’m still a bit overweight but I feel amazing. My labs are all fine.
I was reprimanded as a new nurse for informing a hospitalized T2D that fruit has sugar.
@@wendyknapp9826 How dare you speak the truth and cost them money from drug sales!! ( insert sarcasm )
Hi Dr. Westman,
I and my wife have been on carnivore diet now since the end of March 2024, Easter weekend to be exact, it is now May 15th and I have lost 20 lbs. But more importantly, I feel so much better and this video with everything he is saying has happened to me, such as the snoring, also I don't have body oder, my blood pressure is better than it has ever been in my life also a whole list of things for the better that we are noticing . I am 61 years old and I wish I could have discovered this way earlier in my life.
Thank you for your knowledge and these videos
Mark Witte
Haha we are the same age and started at the same time! Hello from Australia 😂 so far my gums have stopped bleeding when I brush (55 years they bled 😱) it’s only a small thing but big for me! Hoping to sort out hormone issues soon.. good luck on your journey 💪
Dr Westman I have enjoyed listening to you so educational. I wish I would’ve found this way of eating as a child. I was born with Hirschsprung’s disease, sigmoid colon removed, double barrel colostomy that has been reattached. I lived my entire life with frequent explosive BM’s multiple times a day. Now almost 53 years old, carnivore, happy, healthy and no more bowel issues or frequent bowel obstructions since going carnivore almost 4 years ago! I wish they would’ve told my parents or me instead of always suffering until I stumbled upon carnivore. It’s been such a game changer! Keep up the education.
Mr Kerry is right, very spot on.
First of all, people use food for Pleasure and not for Sustenance. And that is the first step to addiction, the first step to change your free will for an addiction 😎
I agree 100 % to this video. I’ve been doing carnivore for 2 years and 2 months now. It started when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. And I started doing treatment November of 2021. Before that I had some health problems like IBS, dermatitis, acid reflux , brittle nails, pain on elbows, knees, feet, neck and back, eye dryness and redness where the rheumatologist told me I will be blind. I was seen by 5 medical experts here in Houston and no one was able to help me heal my condition. In fact it gets worse. And those prescribed medications have been given me a lot of side effects. I was desperate and depressed thinking this will be the end for me. Until I bump on this carnivore diet from Dr. Baker. At first I was hesitant to do it because I’m a nurse. Knowing that it would not be healthy as we are taught in medical schools about red meat. Specially that I worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center chemotherapy department. But I started doing it because I don’t have any options. My symptoms got worse that I kept getting a medical leave at work. After 3 weeks of pure carnivore I felt a big improvement with my health issues. And after 3 months of being carnivore all the symptoms I mentioned above are all gone. Meat heals and I’m one of the proof that it works. The last time my rheumatologist and my PCP checked me they are amazed that I am very healthy.And told me to continue doing my research and new carnivore lifestyle.
Very inspiring! Happy for you!
Incredible!! I am so happy you discovered health!!! Who knew that knocking on the "Carnivore door" and walking through that door, that you would gain a great victory over time. You are greatly healing your liver which is key to other areas improving!! Hallelujah!!
Thank you for sharing that. It gives me courage as I attempt to live closer to carnivore.
I'm a type2 diabetic. For decades I unsuccessfully tried to lose weight. I tried every diet under the sun. But I gradually gained more and more weight and needed more and more diabetes medication. I had already cut out grains, pasta, potatoes, bread, etc from my diet but I was ALWAYS hungry. It wasn't until I started testing my glucose after all my meals and cut my carb intake down to near zero that I was finally able to lose weight & stopped being hungry all the time. I have lost 85lbs so far. I read every label for ingredients and I only eat lowest carb veggies & no fruit. They sneak sugar, glucose, sucrose, dextrose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup (all cheap sweeteners) in EVERYTHING. The FDA, American Diabetes Association and the standard American food pyramid are all a joke.
At 58 (2019), I went Westman-style keto and the 50 lbs seemed to just melt off. No more aches and pains, I’m back to kickboxing, weight lifting, hiking, biking and kayaking. 14% body fat. I run circles around 6 grandkids now. I now take ZERO meds. I never ever thought this would happen to me as I entered my 60s!
I changed life long depression and anxiety .
Inflammation of my joints. Arthritis in my lower back and hip are manageable to where I can still spend time trail running at age 58.
Life long bowell issues have disappeared. My recovery from workouts is tenfold from where I was.
We have been poisoned and because of addiction to sugars it is hard for people to get on board eating this way. But it is so worth it. 🙏
Ohhhh...This Carnivore is getting better and better...
I am Carnivore...for 4 years now.....66 years old...
Hi, How many hours is your need to sleep per night? Thanks
@@note2020 seven… to eight.. is a good run…
Since I started carnivore 2 years ago I’ve:
Lost 160 pounds
Stopped taking insulin and metformin
Improved all bloodwork dramatically
Reversed non alc fatty liver
Eliminated gerd
Cured psoriasis
And so much more.
I’ve also been able to become very active, taking both power lifting and functional fitness classes.
I’m not perfect. I get too relaxed with the diet sometimes, but I stay strict 90% of the time.
I’m going to live a lot longer than I was going to just 2 years ago. Crazy thing is, instead of doing what the doctors wanted, surgery, insulin, and a 100 gram of carb a day diet, I ate meat…….
Thank you for covering Kerry's story and his message. Glad I found carnivore.
Almost 3 years carnivore now. I don't miss having high blood pressure, low testosterone, having to take multiple medications for years, having type 2 diabetes, having non alcoholic fatty liver. I don't miss any of that at all. I don't miss being in so much pain from arthritis that I couldn't get out of bed for days at a time. I don't miss the hemorrhoids from hard stools, and IBS from all the fiber I was told to eat. I don't miss the night sweats, and the sleep apnea. I don't miss the erectile disfunction. I don't miss the 150 pounds that I lost inside of the first year. I don't miss all the plaque buildup on my teeth. I don't miss all the ear wax, I don't miss being photo sensitive and burning from being exposed to the sun. ( I haven't needed sunscreen for almost 2.5 years now.) I don't miss feeling like I was dying............................................. "I do miss" all the years I spent sick and dying a slow death from all the highly processed, hyper palatable foods that I was indoctrinated into eating since childhood. I don't take any meds now, and my bloodwork has never been better.
It's always inspiring to see other people's journeys on keto or carnivore. I got fat and started my addiction with carbs as soon as I moved out of my parents house. Chips and sodas where a special holiday treat, maybe camping. As an adult I made up for it. Now at 65 I feel better than ever. I have list over 75lbs, and my body pain is pretty much gone. It's my life now and I'm enjoying it.
After church, I used to buy 3 large bags of Doritos from WalMart and consume one of them in front of the TV Sunday night.
I have no more cravings, excema or high BP. No more constipation at 69 on carnivore for 5 months lost many inches more energy. For me now carnivore for life!
It’s funny you should say; no more constipation. I had to introduce low carb vegetables back into my diet after a few weeks of carnivore eating because I at first had a little diarrhea and then …. nothing . It was very uncomfortable
Love the message delivered by the gentleman from Homestead How in this video. He's spot on. I've been on carnivore now for 15 weeks. No more stomach pain/digestive issues or constipation. My arthritis has improved. I sleep better. I'm off all diabetes meds - no more insulin, metformin or gabapentin. My feet and leg neuropathy is just about gone. My mental clarity is better. I will never go back to the standard American diet including processed foods. I've also learned about plant lectins and oxalates all of which are toxic to the human body. As much as I loved the flavor of vegetables, I don't need the problems of these toxins or the fiber which the body can't break down which leads to constipation.
I used to get massive migraines. I've been carnivore 5 months and ALL migraines are GONE.
I cut out bread about a year ago and in January 2024 I started a Keto diet. I had the Keto rash which was a little annoying at the time.
However the good news is I’m feeling great, lost weight from 14 to 12 stones and at 68 have the energy of a mid thirty year old. I had 5 stents fitted about 16 years ago and on medication for such. I feel so good I think I could stop them but I’m not brave enough. I’d like to thank to Dr. Westman, Dr. Berry and their many guests. Thank God for you all.
I just feel guilty I’ve not yet been able to convince my family and friends as I’d love for everyone to have the advantages I’m having. ❤️
I try to let people know the benefits but find people love food and would rather stay with spending lots of money on things that don’t work.
Agreed but I say I'm doing it for my health ❤
All you can do is lead by example. Even the homestead guys wife took A LONG TIME to get on board.
I resonate. I'm so grateful for my client, who cared enough for me, who suggested the diet to me. Sooo grateful and Dr Westman is the bomb.
I have severe osteoporosis because I came down with a lung disease causing me to go on a inhaler that has steroids. The steroids put me in severe osteoporosis. My bones are brittle. I am on day 6 of carnivore and I am using my inhaler every third day opposed to every day.
Carnivore diet has helped me to cut way down on my trelegy use. I use it once per week now where prior I would wake up and take it first thing to help get through the day.
Never going back to that life.
Best of luck with your health👍💪
@@BartManDude Thank you Bart and same to you. I am with you. I am going to eat this way until I leave this planet.
My husband and I , 74 and 75, have been on 5 or less carbs a day for over a year now. What a miracle it is to see one health problem after go away. I think it is taking us a bit longer to reach goals, maybe cause of our age. Some of our children have joined us too with such health changes and much weight loss. Praying all our children and grandchildren will eventually join . Thanks for all you do for humanity.
I have had essential tremors in my left hand for over fifteen years. I started keto in 2018 aftery fifth MI and third stent. I also stopped taking statins. That is a whole book of nightmares and what that little pill did to me. Anyway, i started carnivore nine months ago and my essential tremors are almost gone. I can now hold a fork or spoon without dropping it or the food and am so happy with this one achievement.
Congratulations for your recovery. Did the essential tremor start with extreme depression, regret or sorrow? Thanks
@@note2020 I have no idea what caused the tremor. I just started noticing that my hand shook and I couldn't hold things. Its in my left hand and I'm left handed so it was a lot of trouble. I just noticed it was gone when I was holding a fork and the shaking was minimal and I didn't drop the food. I was thrilled. I don't have any depression.
Just to let people know. You might still need your CPAP. I went carnivore in 2020, lost 80 pounds, below my ideal weight in 2022. Stopped snoring. I was still tired with intractable anxiety and heart palpitations...had a repeat sleep study. AHI was UNCHANGED from before carnivore. If I stop using it for even a few days, I get severe anxiety, palpitations, fatigue. The only way to be sure you don't need the CPAP any more is by repeating the sleep study. It's too important! The rest of my family has sleep apnea with a-fib. I don't want that to happen to me!
Yes Elle, important message that needs to be said. 👏
I get upset knowing that I suffered through 10 horrible years of Ulcerative Colitis and did so much damage to my colon and rectum that they had to be permanently removed. I see people like Nick Norwitz who was able to reverse his UC with a no carb diet. And I feel sad for those people that have been convinced that the way to stop the inflammation caused by eating carbs is to take an immunosuppressant drug. Why would you ever want to dumb down your immune system. The answer is to not start the inflammation fire in the first place. Don't eat carbs and your body will not have to take drastic measures to protect itself from that poison. I want to scream from the roof tops when I see doctors promote vegan and low fat diets especially when it comes to children. Children need to eat fish, eggs, and red meat to be healthy! The other think that gets under my skin is when they say you can get what you need from a plant based diet. I am sorry but I have a unique perspective on this as someone with an ileostomy. If you eat a cup of black beans your body will metabolize a small fraction of that mass. I would guess from experience only about 20%. So whatever you see on the label for instance 10 grams of protein. I can tell you that you only absorbed 2 grams of that protein. When you eat a cup of red meat I can tell you from experience you will absorb 90% of that protein. Humans do not have the ability to ferment and absorb plant protein like the animals we were designed to eat do. The American Medical system has been hijacked by the pharmaceutical and food industries. We need to blow it up and start over.
Fact after fact. And you know the Big Pharma has made countless billions of profit in promoting cholesterol killing drugs, when cholesterol has nothing to do with causing heart attacks and strokes. The main culprit in causing all auto immune diseases along with heart attacks is SUGAR, with seed oils taking a secondary role. What a sick government we have to put up with.
❤😊
Hi James... can you please share your experience with UC. I have a family member with crohn's who been on remicade for over a year. We're all so anxious and worried about how dangerous this drug is and are DESPERATE to get her off the two monthly infusions... which are extremely traumatic for her. Please tell me if you have been on similar drugs and whether you've been able to stop... and how you have been ...
🙏

I’m sure Kerry speaks freely and passionately, with total honesty and from the heart. This is one reason why he’s such an inspiration. My only concern is that sometimes his very passion can sound so fervent that it smacks of evangelical preacher on fire!
And THAT, precisely, is the Lion “Positive Deviant” message he purports. His passion stresses the urgency to change.
Many of us hear the message more than the delivery.
@@steadfast20-4-26I agree Sharon. Passionate delivery. Makes so much sense.
Yep. Never trust anyone who says "we are going to save the world". That is literally what vegans say. If you listen to him he literally does. This is why I like Dr Westman. he is about helping ppl and not trying to be some Internet Influencer Guru.
Some of you haven’t watched his channel and it shows.
I really respect Dr. Westman after learning from many of his videos. He’s a kind and very conscientious caring Physician and human being!
Kerry Mann has gotten so many people interested in the carnivore diet in little more than a year. I have only got three people to try the carnivore diet in my 40 years of being carnivore.
I was on a ketogenic diet for five years, lost weight, normalised my blood pressure, stopped having migraines, but it was only when I switched to a carnivore lifestyle that my lifelong depression and anxiety disappeared after two days! I’ve now been carnivore for over two years now and this is it for me, forever.
My husband and I started the Carnivore Diet on May 19th, 2023.
Starting weight was 166.5.
Side note: I was a Vegetarian for over 10 years.
I was Malnourished.
I had IBS for over 25 years.
Always constipated, bloated, and gassy. With VERY PAINFUL BM’s.
After about a month on Carnivore, I was more regular than I have ever been in my entire life. It’s funny, I used to get a craving for steak.
But I didn’t listen. So, now I DO 😊
I’ve gotten down to 141.2. (I’m 5’7”)
I can tell now, that my body is absorbing all the correct nutrition it needs, from eating “the Carnivore WAY”. 💯%‼️
I’ve lost half of my “wings”, without any exercising.
3 inches off my waist and 3 off my hips.
It is healing a cyst that I have had for about 20 years, shrinking it to almost nothing.
My husband has received great results too. A Type 2 Diabetic, his glucose levels are much lower, he has lost over 15 lbs, down to 150 lbs. His anxiety is all but gone. Neuropathy has lessen too.
He tells me almost daily how grateful he is that I suggested the Carnivore Way to him.
We are 62, and 65.
Neither of us are on ANY Prescription drugs, and have not been in over 30 years.
The other find is eating Carnivore is LESS EXPENSIVE THAN EATING VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN 💯‼️
Kerry is so absolutely right! I have experienced every bit of this. Carnivore changed my life and I will never look back. I am 68 and l have studied nutrition half my life and never heard of carnivore. Once I researched and understood carnivore it absolutely made sense to me. So grateful for all of you who continue to share with others the proper human diet. Love and appreciation you all. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for offering your take on Kerry's video! And for helping Dr Berry spearhead the American Diabetes Society! I greatly enjoy your feedback and insights. Thanks!
I only heard of the carnivore diet recently, so I've been looking into it.
I met a man this morning on a dog walk, we started talking, and he told me that he's been doing a carnivore diet, and it cured his arthritis and osteoporosis. I asked him what he and his wife eats, and he told me.
I'm a herbalist, and that led me here via the long route. I learned about all sorts of active ingredients in plants - and more relevant to this topic - I learned about plant defences. No plant wants to be eaten, they all have a defensive mechanism. Usually poison, and yet many are beneficial (aspirin is synthetically made now, but it originally came from willowbark and meadowsweet flowers).
The deviation is fruit, which is produced by nature to be consumed.
The conclusion I've drawn thus far, is that plants are medicine and animals are food (which is itself a medicine).
Kerry is passionate about carnivore! And his wife must be a saint! Four nights she's snoring, he's filming her (!) - and now she's not snoring. 🎉
Hi Dr Westman and Kerry😂 I was diagnosed T2D on 10 August 2023. I don't need to tell you all the side effects of the meds, especially Metformin. I decided then that there has to be a cure! a Shout out to Drs Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, Shawn Baker, Ben Bikman etc. They were the first guys I watched on CZcams. On 26 August 2023 and went full-on Carnivore cold turkey. I have been Carnivore now for almost 9months. Awesome! No more T2D. Off all meds. Blood Glucose normal, Cholesterol normal, blood pressure normal and I lost 22kg. Thank you so much for your channel and a shout out to Kerry from Homesteadhow. You guys are inspirational!!
I found Keto on CZcams - not from my doctor! Was Keto for three years and lost about 70 lbs. Then went Carnivore and lost 180 lbs more! Was never hungry along the way. Carnivore now for life!
Oh yes, my doctor never even asked what I did to lose all the weight. Guess he just assumed I cut calories. 😮
I have been carnivore for 5 years. It is life changing - for the better! Not all hero’s wear capes - Kerry Mann.
We need to all donate what we can spare to his Healing Humanity project.
I began the keto diet at the age of 61. I was bedridden and in so much pain that only opiods could relieve it. I started keto on October 24, 2016. By June 2017 I was no longer bedridden, I had lost 60 lbs without any exercise, and was living life again. Now at the age of 69 I am in my seventh year as a chicken farmer.
Thank you, Dr. Westman. I have followed the keto diet low-carb diet, very low-carb diet, keto/carnivore . Any of these work wonders if you stick with it. cannot deny that I feel better and lose weight easily and quickly when I eat as above. I definitely feel beyond horrible when I throw that all away and eat the standard American diet it’s criminal. I work in the medical field too, and it is criminal. I feel very guilty having counseled diabetics (as I was trained) with very inaccurate information. What’s worse? Is they persist with these recommendations today despite evidence against it they are starting to change and that’s hopeful.
Again, thank you for your hard work in this field and thank you for interviewing how Homestead I follow his channel too. He’s very good. 👍🦖🤗
Carnivore since December 2023. Within a month, I got out of the brain fog. I lived my whole life in that brain fog. Now I'm more focus and alert.
There is a brand of sweet, candy flavored breakfast cereal named KRAVE. Possibly the most honest product name on the planet.
You like it?
@@ianstuart5660 I don't eat any of that stuff. Animal sourced food for me.
Despite never caring for cereal growing up, my now adult son somehow discovered Krave cereal & he LOVES it! Once he became an adult he started pigging out on sweets way more than he was ever allowed to as a child & now, nearing his mid 20s, has already developed a number of health issues. But what do I know, I'm just his mom who read labels on the foods I fed them & I live on the opposite side of the country now.
I was shocked last summer at an outdoor concert on a warm summer night. Every one was in short sleeve tops revealing a huge number of people wearing glucose monitors on their arms.
Now that's scary. As far as I know, they are fairly expensive. How many people there were still on the poky thing?
@@judyjohnson9610 these were possibly covered under Canada's health care.
@@peterfrancisharris only if they were diagnosed with Diabetes.
@geaston5289 as a Canadian I can tell you that CGMs are over the counter in BC. You so not need a prescription.
@@iancollings5047 With respect, perhaps you missed the point. The point of discussion was if they were covered by health care. I looked it up and it's provincial health plans, not federal. One would, of course, expect that you need to provide proof to your provider that you need such a device to have it covered.
2 months in, changed my life! had many issues reversed already, tomorrow i will be done tappering off my blood pressure meds, had to do it as pressure was getting way to low, wonder what my doctor is going to say, my blood pressure at 38yrs old was 210/120, after month and a half no carb,started to see numbers as low as 100/60, so obviously i started to Wean myself off the meds. Gone for good tomorrow and i'm never going to look back. Also would like to state that the Blood Pressure was nothing to do with why I chose carnivore. The reason was I.B.S
And it fixed that in a few weeks
oh i am now almost 56 yrs old
That is impressive! No make sure you are getting enough fat and make sure you are getting 1-2 tsp of good salt a day! You do not want to fall below 60 on your diastolic pressure unless of course your are extremely active and it is your normal.
Make sure your magnesium, potassium and b c vitamins are all good!
I found a new Dr who told me the system doesn’t recognize our choices however, he is intrigued and is researching!
Long story short one day they were going to take out my ovary and gallbladder. In less than 2 weeks the situations resolved thanks to carnivore.
I still have work to do. My new doctor supports me. I said as long as you are willing to do blood work and give me the “ antibiotics” I ask for I will be happy.
Best thing ever was ending smoking in restaurants and public spaces
And airplanes
@@eringo-bragh4243sort of in the aeroplane. When people smoked they pushed fresh air through the plane. They don't anymore😅
What about second hand pot?
Smokers' pollution extends at least 100 ft in all directions when they smoke outside. They are not doing anyone a favor by going outside to smoke.
@@lindajohnston2032Better than inside though!
I've had the same experience. IBS and migraines are gone! Healing humanity with a proper human diet, lets go! Cheers from the Netherlands.
I can testify to the healing power of a proper human diet with keto since 2018 and carnivore since 2022. Meat heals! I 100% agree with Kerry that we have been lied to by doctors for so long. Thank you Dr. Westman for swimming against the tide. You are both truly inspirational for all of humanity. God bless you.
6:00 pm. This sounds like my story. With very low carb/carnivore, my ulcerative colitis is completely in remission. I no longer take BP meds. I have lost 50 lbs. My husband has lost 60 lbs and is off diabetic meds and BP meds. We were both addicted to sugar and junk food - no question about it. I am looking forward to getting rid of my arthritis. My husband got rid of his CPAP machine. Great video!! Thank you!
Mind if I ask... we're you on medication for UC? If so... we're you able to stop taking them? Thank you..
Thank you Dr Westman for doing this. I have been following Kerry for so long and this video of his is so powerful but to have you then review it so positively as a doctor gives it even more weight as being the truth. I really appreciate all of the work that you do. I have been through paleo, low carb, keto and finally landed on carnivore to solve all of my health issues and it was the only way then that I finally kicked all of my addictions to food and alcohol. Once you remove all the carbs it is like the body does a complete reset. Take care and keep up your amazing work, the world needs you.
Kerry is such a great example of a clear mind on Carnivore. How many of us had brain fog and now have had that pollution clear?
I started by cooking all my food over a year ago.Then eliminating carbs. I am at the point that only use a few things like olives and onions when cooking seafood. Mostly red meat, eggs, bacon butter and salt. Have lost 50 pounds, improved my sleep, T2D under control, blood pressure under control, remarkable improvement in my skin no crack heels, have so much energy that I am doing so much things my self. Exercising and biking and today I went to the gym for the first time in a year. Stopped taking diabetes medication, blood pressure medication, statin, don’t take decongestants any more and there is much more. My cholesterol went up but my triglycerides down. The downside is that the medical practitioner is not happy and prescribed a higher dosage and more aggressive medication to reduce cholesterol. At this point I am in the market for a new doctor.
It's funny how doctors can see all the measurable and patient disclosed health benefits and then go nuts over cholesterol.
At not one point does it seem to cross their minds that maybe, just maybe they might be wrong on ONE biomarker. Nope, they know everything there is to know... 😂
@@tradermunky1998 Yes. Cholesterol does NOT cause heart disease and strokes.
Most people change when it's to late. Then find avenues to blame everyone else but themselves( Contracts) . There is no one to blame. We can be slaves to our own desires. But instead alot of people of the world dont want to change for many reasons none of them good. Make the change or don't. Everything in life is a choice and an offer. Thank you Dr Westman.

I spent years on regular diet such as Weight Watchers. Those diet don’t work because they require too strict of compliance and take too long. With Keto and carnivore and I have lost one hundred pounds. I feel much better. My blood pressure is down. I wish I had this information sooner. 😅
I found the carnivore diet in February and with the first two days began to feel better. I am 83 and by eating the proper human diet I have solved 21 health issues. By day two my IBS STOPPED. Each month I feel better no more brain fog thinking is clearer balance, confidence, no more neck pain and I have lost 18 pounds. I have more energy and feel years younger. I will never go back to what they call a normal diet only to become I’ll again. If people would only try it for 30 days to see how much they have given up for unhealthy foods. I am on no medication. I also go to the Y and walk 6 miles a week on the treadmill. This is life after retirement.
I've been on keto for a while now...its transformative..I dont doubt that people are seeing amazing results with carnivore..the only thing that is not being addressed is the fact that not everyone can stomach eating meat..i literally cannot eat it...i do eat pastured eggs and pastured dairy and berries ..and i force myself to eat sardines...i do try and eat pastured eggs and dairy in the hope that it is more cruelty free..i have discovered that i have pretty much lost my appetite for plants..my point being that some people do have an aversion to eating meat based on ethical reasons...and it would be great to hear a video on how to manage a keto diet without meat...Dr Westman, I have followed you for some time now..I not only value your extensive knowledge, but your low key simple way of presenting the information is so welcoming appreciated..lastly, I admire the fact that you continue to stay connected to patients with an active practice.Heartfelt gratitude for all that you do!ps I attended UNC many years ago, but I wont hold the Duke connection against you!
LOL I'm very passionate like Kerry. I just want all those that I love to feel as great as I do. I'm 10 months carnivore and have never felt better.
Great video I’m approaching my one year mark as well, 30 pounds down and feeling so healthy. I use the word carnivore loosely as I do still drink my coffee and have occasional keto friendly carbs. I am 59 and 20 years younger than I was one year ago, I am setting personal best performance records in certain exercises. Thank you Dr. Westman for all of your good work.
