I recently cut out all sugar and carbs (except vegetables like sweet potato and lentils. 2 meals a day, mostly meat. Not only lost 40 pounds but my brain fog and 3pm crash are gone. My mood is far better. Honestly I feel super human
@@wobblysauceDude, just let him eat sweet potato. You don't have to be miserable to be healthy and in shape, sweet potato is a vegetable not a piece of fried chicken.
@@MMA-CLIPS2most of the people in these threads are obese diabetics, so it’s wishy washy. It’s why you’ll see such extremes. Extreme diet opinions, extreme mood swings with “best I’ve ever felt in my life.” It’s just par for the course with keto and carnivore people.
Tbh the dog food I give my dog is actually super healthy lol. It's more like how we feed cows Corn meal even though they should only ever eat grass. Because it's easier to mass produce corn instead of grass.
@@ruskibruskiJoe talks about what he started feeding his dog all the time in podcasts and he says the same as you (Also not even sure wtf that guy is talking about, only half of his comment made sense lmao)
I just hit 13 months carnivore and it has changed my life! i started at north of 715lbs i was stuck in the house for over 2 years and i was on home oxygen 24/7. i had congestive heart failure, reactive airway disease, depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and many other issues. ive lost 262lbs so far, i have my mobility back, im off oxygen, and off all meds, my depression and anxiety is completely gone. everything has healed and is either 95% to 100% healed! A literal answer to prayer ! i love hearing people changing their lives with carnivore too. Keep up the great work!
I reversed t2 diabetes, fatty liver, stage 2 kidney failure, hypertension and lost 60lbs in just the first 6 months of an all beef diet. I also got off of insulin and 8 other pills. Been eating this way for just over a year now and my a1c is still normal.
Of course you improved your health. Not because you're eating more beef, but because you've cut out sugar, refined cards and other junk foods. Meat can form part of a healthy diet. Eat a quality wholefood unprocessed diet
@@carsandthings1995 I did that for years (all meats and vegetables). No change in hypertension, the doctor did say it was incurable after all. Last month I cut all carbs and went off medication 32 days later. Hypertension cured by carnivore. The idea is get rid of insulin in the blood stream. Keep eating vegetables and that goal is not reached.
I think it's the sugar and especially the hidden sugar in processed foods. I don't drink anything other than water or black coffee, but sometimes I work a lot and only eat convenience food for weeks or months. I'm constantly overeating even if I don't like the food. Then I go back to cooking my own meals, and no matter how good it tastes, I don't overeat.
@@akumpi definitely the sugar, sugar is in everything even in cigarettes ffs lmao sugar kills more annually than anything else on the planet but we dont talk about it.
Yeah it is wild how these things effect us. I think I am a "pleasure addict", whether it's drugs, sex, food, or just a fun activity I feel compulsion to do it.
@@birdlawyer6191 take back control of your mind! best of luck! fasting helps alot. you will fight through the addictions for a while but fasting speeds up the process through extreme mental torture lol.
It’s not almost sinister, Shawn, it is sinister and criminal! Thanks to you and Ken Berry, Eric Westman and others. I have been carnivore for over five years. I am 78 and on no meds.😊🙏
I'm going to tell you something that might sound some what shocking, but the events did in fact happen. And that is cannibalism during civil war and the great depression. Quote: "The Great Depression was one of the darkest periods in American history. Millions of people lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Desperate times often lead to desperate measures, and there are many stories of people resorting to cannibalism during the Great Depression. While it is impossible to know for sure how many people resorted to cannibalism, there are certainly many stories of people eating their own children or other family members". In some cases, people were so desperate that they would kill and eat strangers. While cannibalism is certainly a horrific act, it is important to remember that the Great Depression was an incredibly difficult time for many people. Desperate measures were often necessary in order to survive. Same during the Russian civil war. Many turned to cannibalism, even selling body parts for other sources of food, as they did not want to eat their own children. Cannibalism during "The Great Famine" in 1845 where a third of Irelands population were wiped out due to starvation. Now I know you have lived a long and prosperous life so chances of you experiencing such crisis are slim. But it's not a matter of "if" it will happen again, but "when" it will happen again. History does tend to repeat itself. It's human nature to feel comfortable within our society knowing we have access to food at the push of a button, but history has shown that things CAN happen, and that a global economic collapse can and will put us into survival mode which is why people need to be weary. We can enjoy our food now, but soon will come a time where our "cravings" will really put us to the test. God be with us when that happens 🙏
I cut processed foods, sugar, pasta, seed oils, and only omad (one meal a day). I have lost 120 pounds. I was 309 when I started.I feel so much better now. I have mobility and clarity again. Thank you for spreading the message. I tell everyone who I think needs to hear this.
@@chexnfx7161 there will come a time where he won't lose weight once he hits a healthy weight. It's 100percent sustainable. He's loosing a ton of weight because he's following the standard American diet and is grossly overweight. The diet is easily sustainable.
A few years ago, I was borderline diabetic and I asked my doctor to give me a diet to help bring down my A1C. She told me, I could do that, but what you really need to do is quit eating out and cook whole foods at home and leave the processed foods alone. She said if it comes in a box it's processed. Just go to the store and buy raw meats, vegetables and fruits and cook your meals with that. I did what I was told, I lost about 8 lbs, but I wasn't obese before, and after about 6 months I went back to the doctor for my blood tests and I was no longer within the pre-diabetic range.
It is a pretty wild concept that every single cell in your body is made from food. The question is: are your cells sponsored by McDonald's or the natural world?
@@briandorsey6437 yes, but the quality is also important. McDonald's don't use grass-fed beef, it uses grain-fed. It doesn't use organic cheese, it uses just a regular cheese. It doesn't use organic onions and pickles, it uses gmo vegetables. All of this makes a difference later on.
@patelien I had no idea how bad emulsifiers were and how they are in everything. Once I cut them out my diet became much more limited but I don't mind, I feel much better
There’s a German style beer hall in my town that has the greatest hamburger I have ever had in my entire life. It’s only $7 dollars, simple ingredients, nothing fancy. But the taste is as if it was prepared in heaven, near the throne of God… I can’t give that up. They make a good, good sandwich
It's funny that he mentions Brazil at the end. My wife is Brazilian and last year I went there for the first time to visit her family. I was absolutely astounded by how much better the food is in Brazil than in America. I've never eaten better in my life, nor eaten more, I never felt stuffed, never felt the need to snack, just ate large meals and felt amazing
I'm french and my wife is brazilian also. US Food is the worst. Brazilian foods tends to be more natural but they eat lots of sugars & Sodas... In France, we eat bread as Carb source (Not really better than Sugar) + More and more junk food + Wine / Beer explaining the growing obesity problems
@@ThePeterR66Yes, we eat a lot of sugar and soft drinks, but processed foods are not part of our diet. On a daily basis, we eat beans, meat, salads, rice, local fruit juice, vegetables, etc. It's usually people from big cities like São Paulo and Rio who tend to eat more industrialized foods.
My maternal grandmother’s family was apart of a long term study in Roseto, PA in the 60s where they looked at why heart disease was so low in the area. A quick google search about the Roseto Effect will tell you that it has to do with family ties and being close to your family (which I do agree with), but having read through the original article and talking to my grandmother about it, the fact that they ate homemade pretty much everything is always left out of google’s answers. Homemade pasta, homemade sauce, homemade wine, self raised chickens and locally farmed hogs and cattle. There were little to no preservatives in their diet and it showed in their heart and overall health.
I think the homemade flour was the key. Think of someone that sells flour like they're a cocaine seller. If they have a pound of cocaine and add a pound of something cheap to it, they now have two pounds of what they're calling cocaine that they can sell, which means more money. I think the flour on the store shelf is like that cocaine. Part flour, part something really cheap that nobody would buy by itself.
My grandparents were Sicilian and always had a garden and raised their own animals for food. My grandmother made EVERYTHING from scratch. Hearty, healthy, hard working people who lived a long and healthy life.
That’s what I keep telling these meat fanatics. It’s not to surplus of meat they are eating it’s the removal of processed foods. As you know healthy populations do not overeat meat .
In 14 months, the carnivore diet, completely healed me of chronic migraines and fatigue, and I was almost bedbound for the last two years I am now working and thriving!!!❤🙌🏻💯🥩🇨🇦
Over 8 years now I've been eating very low carb/high fat/high protein. Reversed T2 Diabetes, HB Pressure, Arthritis, and lost 75 pounds, I did that all in the first few months. For over 8 years now since I changed what I eat, I have never been sick. When on the Standard American Diet before that I was sick regularly. Not one single virus since I changed my diet. I'm 60, look 40, and feel like I'm 30.
That’s great news! My dad is 62 with diabetes and is now struggling to walk. Hopefully he can speak to his doctor and possible hop on the carnivore diet
But the things that helped you were cutting out all sugars and losing a substantial amount of weight, doing it with carnivore happened to work for you but like he said cutting out processed food and losing weight would have done the same.
@@powderandpaint14 true but you have to factor in age also. I am 53yrs old and when I take a break from carnivore I get sick RAPIDLY! This past one lasted 3 days and I swear i woke up with my right eye blood red and then day 3 I had a sharp pain coming from right eye. I also broke out in ezcema on my left elbow of which I have never had in my life. It all boils down to age and what you can an cannot eat.
Sir, Thankyou for having Dr Baker on your show again. I went carnivore 18mo ago, lost 104 lbs. and off all my medications plus an entire list of other improvements.
Chris Palmer, the psychiatrist Shawn Baker mentioned in this podcast would be a great guest for a future epidose. His book Brain Energy is a fascinating take on mental health!
The most EYE-OPENING moment in my life was when I began to follow the ketogenic diet. I have moved beyond that, but the most IMPORTANT thing it taught me was how much SUGAR I was ingesting without realizing it! Sugar is in EVERYTHING, and it makes you hungry so you go eat more of what they are selling. Or at least it does me! Start looking at labels, people. The amount of sugar you are ingesting will SHOCK you!
Dr. Baker is my real life hero. I purchased his book, studied the diet and it was the best decision of my life. I started in March of 2022 when I was over 370lbs and horribly depressed with my life. Fast forward to today and I am 255lbs with perfect blodwork, no high cholesterol anymore, no depression, no energy crashes and no more body pain throughout the day. I also actually really enjoy working out. I owe my life to that change. I am very grateful for Dr. Baker.
Dr. Shawn Baker is one of my heroes. At 71 y/o, wish I'd known what he teaches 30-40 years ago. Glad I got onboard at 65 y/o; have never felt better, and at my high school weight now over 5 years. Thanks for having Dr Baker on your show, he's the real deal.
I call BS, and that is not my personal experience either. I reversed my DB2, and A1c now ranges 5.1 to 5.4, over 3 years now, with NO meds. Please provide a link to support your claim@@yasseressa1696
Joe, Thank you so much for having Dr Shawn Baker on your show. I've been following him, and love what he's doing out here to help such a sick population! You both rock! Keep up the good work! This information needs to get out to more and more people, especially more doctors!
Thanks Joe and Shawn Keep up the great work pushing the truth and making people aware… I stopped eating processed food, carbs and sugar… 18 months ago. I’m 5’ 8. I was 185 now a solid 160. I was on acid reflux meds for 25 years. With in one week of eating meat with some veggies my acid reflux went away. No acid reflux for 18 months. Blood pressure and cholesterol numbers are perfect… I could go on with many more positives … I feel great. I just turned 60
@@scott2864there's a lot wrong with him though. He only recently acknowledged that you need to eat carbs for a healthy diet after lieing about this for many years to keep up book sales
I would like to get it out there how dangerous aspartame can be to some people. My late husband had episodes of such intense rage and total lack of self control . I noticed almost by accident that it happened every time he drank diet soda, then read a bit in the news aspartame can cause mood swings. His wasn't mood swings, it was far more intense, ripping clothes up, smashing things, even his face changed in appearance. He was so happy with this news that it wasn't a defect in him, it was a physical reaction he could now avoid. He could now determine it just wasn't diet soda but McDonalds hamburgers and processed meat as well. I stopped buying all this processed food, fast forward 15 years and my daughter calls me crying from University she thinks she is losing her mind, told me she ripped up her sweater in a rage. Had a flash back and told her you are not going crazy, you are having a reaction to aspartame. I know there are many undiagnosed people out there with this condition. I wonder what else is it doing to our brains
It's possible that aspartame could do that to somebody if they were very genetically different than most people but aspartame is not in hamburgers and such to those times might have been "real".
Absolutely not, I’m a very calm person and I was never scared of him, he never hurt me just inanimate objects. Every time he ate aspartame or chemical food additives his jaw started clenching and it was visible in his face. If you love your diet pop keep drinking it and might as well give it to your children
Sounds like he may have a case of phenylketonuria. On the back of a diet coke, it'll say people sensitive to phenylketonurics (aspartame is one) should not consume it. Google the symptoms of phenylketonuria, and temper tantrums/ rage is one of the top ones.
I've lived with boarderline insomnia and GERD most of my life, and thought it was just kinda how it would be because a lot of my family has the same issues, but then I went on the carnivore diet and within three weeks I quit snoring and slept a full night for the first time in 15 years. After a month I had lost nearly 30 pounds. My GERD disappeared and I could lay flat at night. I felt amazing, then the holidays rolled around and I cheated and started eating carbs again. The last few months have been hell. It's all came back, and confirmed that the weight loss wasn't what was helping my issues. It's the diet. The carnivore diet really does fix things, and I'm currently getting back on it. It takes a few weeks to get back into it, but I can't handle going back to how I used to feel.
It’s a good reminder the vast majority of normal GERD (which affects a huge portion of the population) is a mechanical issue of the opening of the stomach. Once you’re obese you’re going to have a weakened diaphragm muscle, bad posture, constant opening or poor closing of the stomach. The basic biology is that the diaphragm muscle controls the top of your stomach opening. Bad design by nature :p
Solid effort - I’m 6 months 99% cow and enjoying it. I try not to be that person at the table when eating out that makes a big deal about other foods so that’s my 1% slip ups but eating at home is 🥩 🥚 only
The 4 pillars of health are: 1:Nutrition, you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet. 2: Exercise, your body is designed to move, so move it in a significant way each day. 3: Stress management, stress is a killer, so learn to manage your stress. (Pray, meditate netc.) 4: Sleep, sleep is when your body cleans its systems and repairs damage. Get a good night's sleep.
A lot of work when all you have to do it eat meat and get the same results lol... But you be you even if you are eating toxins from vegetables and your body has to work so hard in removing the toxins and then has to try and move 85% (husk) through your intestines to finally get rid of it.
Why do we demonize everyone? Kellogg and SDA started at a time when infectious disease was the #1 cause of death. They believed meat introduced parasites to the body which is true. So stop vilifying the opposition. By the way, I'm keto/carnivore and Weston a price follower.
Just from personal experience as well. If you never buy desserts, chips, etc to keep around the house. Zero snacks besides protein bars, fruits, or plain popcorn, stuff like that. You stop craving the fake foods. If I gotta eat, I gotta cook. It slows me down from indulging if not makes it impossible to eat trash.
Please don’t eat energy bars or popcorn. Eat enough animal fat and protein first, then have veggies or fruit if you choose. It’s about the bioavailable nutrients in foods. 👍
I'm primarily protein based in my diet but I do allow myself other things occasional. It's amazing how fast your body composition shifts if you start consuming more processed foods. It's absolutely devastating stuff and that Nova study is scary as hell because they're just crunching numbers and concluding "yeah, it'll keep someone alive"
Since i went carnivore i was finally able to get my fibromyalgia and related intestinal issues in order, I count myself incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon these carnivore advocates. Easily the biggest positive change I've had in my recent years so thank you to all the Doctors and fellow patients who have found this incredible truth!
What's the price range of the carnivore diet? Was it cheaper or more expensive than what your regular diet was? I got intestinal problems and was looking for a way to relieve the problems I have
Great video Joe & Shawn.. Been doing Carnivore for almost 3 months ..Feeling much better.. Getting off of sugars has been tough but when I think about the stomach aches an pains I had for a couple years after eating Has made it easier to quit the crap haven't lost weight thank God 6' 185 63 yrs young..keep the videos coming Peace!✌️ 😎♥️🥩🥓🧈🍳
Been following Shaun and eating Carno for ten months. I am 62 and I have my youthful figure back and I am off of all meds and can do my health care worker job like I use to with zero pain. I am strong as a horse. Thank you carnivore diet for changing my life.
Been on and offcarnivore diet for 5 years. My body gets inflammation within a week of eating bread, flour, processed food etc. Carnivore diet makes me feel less sore and stiff all the time. Vegetables don't hurt anything. This is how my grandparents ate growing up in the 1930s. They were strong until switching to convenient microwavable meals.
What happens when your uric acid, homocysteine, and LDL increase? I know, you have results... but for how long... we are omnivores and not all meats are equal. Wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp are WAY healthier than red meat and fowl. I cured my prostatitis, gout, and lost 100 lbs. Your diet isn't sustainable or natural. Humans aren't carnivores and never have been. Eat some leafy green vegetables, tubers, roots, nuts, and berries. Your own teeth and gut prove that you're an omnivore. Our diet has always been primarily plant based, just like bears. High saturated fats coupled with high cholesterol are not healthy. You need low saturated fats with high cholesterol and polyunsaturated fats, such as fatty fish and shrimp. Omega-3 ALA, DHA, and EPA fatty acids are what we need. As well as Omega-9 (real olive oil). There is no way that red meat and fowl is healthier than wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp. Sardinians and Okinawans live the longest for a reason.

I've been eating almost zero processed foods for 10 years. It, along with a good exercise regiment, has kept me incredibly healthy. I want to try going full carnivore. I went vegan for a couple months and never felt worse. My guts were torn up, I was cranky, had inflammation and started having kidney pains.
Day 148 carnivore, at 69 in the best health of my life, no more BP meds, 45 lbs lighter, sleep like a log, no more food obsessions, spending WAY less on food, easy to water fast.... so grateful I went beyond my initial reaction and really looked into it!
for me it is WAY less expensive. That processed poison is extremely expensive per serving, (not to mention the extreme costs of health consequences!) and a lot of veggies and fruits purchased go to waste. Depends where you live and buy your meat, and what meats you purchase, of course.@@Lomogrammaton
@Lomogrammaton way, way, way the hell cheaper than any other diet. You naturally become a one meal a dayer, and if you eat things like burger and liver, you will eat about 2 lbs and not be hungry one spec for 24 hours. That's about 9 bucks a day. Thick proper ribeyes at BJ's (east coast costco) about 15 bucks per 1.25 lb. Pork rinds for a crunchy snack 2 bucks. It's the best! I feel ridiculously good every day.
I’ve been on carnivore for over a month now. Just eating when I’m hungry and stopping when I’m full. I started due to skin issues, dandruff, aches, stomach issues. They started going away after a week. I’ve tried to reintroduce some foods but have had reactions to everything so far. I’m be found a good doctor thankfully who is fully supportive but f this and wants me to stay on it for a while. Additionally - I had SEVERE sleep apnea, stopping breathing 60+ times an hour. My wife said my snoring has finally stopped as well.
Was told last November I had diabetes type 2. Went on rabbit food till January, HBA1C went from 77 to 44, then went on carnivore in January and had my blood tested last week: 35. Oh and I lost over 55 pounds since November and sleep apnea is gone. My doctor used the words : incredible and astonishing. Go carnivore.
I never really ate tons of processed foods, but the carnivore diet has been great for me. It completely cured all of my acne and has made it super easy to stay lean. I've been eating this way since 2015 and I honestly can't see myself ever going back to eating plants.
Those bidet attachments, even the really cheap ones are awesome! Especially if they are connected to hot & cold water and have temperature regulation! A Wl comfortably warm water stream can be ask amazing solution for even severe constipation as it both relaxes the sphincter and begins to break up even write compacted waste. It is also very good to follow up a BM with a little enema/stream in order to evacuate the last little bit that generally ends up remaining there until the next movement, which is not healthy and has been limited to colon and prostate issues.
I'm not a big meat eater but eat what I can tolerate. Even if you don't go full carnivore, eating a Keto diet is transformative. It's amazing how good you feel in a few weeks. There are plenty of doctors on YT who outline what to eat and what to avoid, so there's no excuse! I was a sugar and carb addict for ages but no more.
In the end everyone are different and carnivore diet is definitely not for everyone. You just have to listen to your body what he wants and how you feel.
@@t0lex14wrong. It IS for everyone because its our species specific diet. Stop this garbage phrase : "eVeRyOnE iS dIfFeRenT" no, not interms of diet. Theres no lion that eats grass. They all eat meat. Carnivore is for every single person on the planet because every single person on the planet is a human. What else would you eat?? Starches that will inflame you? Oxalate filled plants? Hahahahahah
There was my life before the carnivore diet and then my life since I started it about a year and a half ago. I was a slave to food for my entire adult life prior to the carnivore diet, and now at 51 I have zero cravings. I went from having a promiscuous / destructive relationship with food to a loving / nurturing relationship with food. Never going back
And yes, like most everyone else, I've lost a ton of weight. I went through a total body transformation. And my energy level never faulters. I sleep like a baby and am in beast mode during all waking hours. etc etc etc
The zero cravings is HUGE! I've experienced the same over last month since my wife and I began this amazing journey! Feeling awesome at 57! Better than my 30s!
I'm on hybrid carnivore diet (for a while) and all my blood work has gotten better, I don't crave any foods and now rarely eat carbs and no processed foods. Never felt better
I was at Walmart recently, shopping my usual selection. Some fruit, some veggies, water. Coconut flour, almond flour, butter, eggs, chicken, beef. Whole milk, some greek yogurt. Mostly healthy I would think. One of the isles, a lady rolls past me and her about 14 year old. One shopping buggy each. Filled to the brim with: instant soups, sodas, beer, cereals, oreos, cookies, crackers, pudding cups, instant dinners, chips, etc. Did not see one thing in there NOT processed and full of additives, chemicals and garbage. Highly paliative foods. All of it. How can anyone fuel their body like this is beyond me.
The carnivore method of eating absolutely revolutionised my health. I can point to sauna, cold immersion and various other protocols as hugely beneficial however the backbone to this change over the last 2 years has absolutely been the focus on meat, liver and bone broth.

@@jgeph2.4 I'm at a Top 10 medical school in the country and that doesn't surprise me. Most people would be surprised to learn that their doctors just learn everything from PowerPoint slides handed down generation to generation, not even bothering to get into the studies that proved those facts. We also almost never mentioned nutrition other than confirming that being obese is detrimental. I have Wegener's Granulomatosis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) and I've tried carnivore for over a month. Other than the diarrhea, it might be the best I've ever felt and the most muscle I've ever packed on in a period of time. Unfortunately it's unsustainable for me in my current circumstances, but if my disease ever flares up again, it's straight back to fasting and carnivore diet again 100%.
@@CAM-hc8ipyour patients are going to be lucky with a doctor like you. I have a good doctor now, but one thing I have never understood is why doctors in general don’t tell their patients other than cutting down on processed foods, go out and find a diet that works for you and makes you feel better.

crazy that the junk food companies are writing the dietary guidelines. Sinister was Dr. Bakers term. I am 100% with him. Quit the junk food, quit the packaged foods, and eat real whole foods. Most of the food is to come from animals as I have experienced greatly improved how I feel when not eating fruits and vegetables.
I was so deadly sick as a type 1 diabetic with hormone issues and a severe histamine intolerance that was killing me. I was puking 24/7 sleeping for only 20 mins every 3 days, blood pressure dropping, not absorbing nutrients so blood sugar was dropping to 20 sometimes even 15 or 10 .. I had an ambulance at my house 2-3 times a week finding me ice cold & unresponsive on the floor. I was starving to death. No doctor would help me figure out what was wrong. My trauma therapist saved my life thanks to the work of this man, dr Ken berry, & Dr Georgia Ede. In a matter of a few weeks on a grass fed meat diet my life drastically changed. I was keeping food in. I was sleeping. I started healing my gut (which healed fast on the carnivore diet) my blood sugars started to stabilize.. when I’m in ketosis and fat adapted my blood sugars no longer effect me like they did on a carb diet.. if I drop to 60 I’m totally functioning talking and thinking.. even at 50 I can fully function… My complex ptsd symptoms drastically improved before I started auditory bilateral simulation emdr. My memory started working again. Life changing !!
4:32 there are many people who have looked at it including myself. We have studied the effects of gut macrobiota on the physiological metrics, we've done gut microbiota transplantation to older mice and rejuvenated their appetite, fur, activity levels etc. We have also studied the effects of dysbacteriosis on immune system, longevity, overall metabolic rates (including libido). So there are people who've done that.
I tried cutting out as much processed food as I can (on a student budget). I didn't keep it up, not because it's addictive but because it's expensive to buy meat and vegetables compared to processed food. And that's completely insane. But for the time I did, I felt like a different person. I truly did. I felt much more energetic and motivated and my sleep quality was so much better. My bowel movement also improved alot
Dr Baker is a TRUE doctor and lives true to the hippocratic oath. And a \ doctor who has enough courage to stand up for the Truth and expose the corrupted ones. Thank you for boldly doing what many have yet to aspire to. And eating meat saves lives!
Not really. Maybe in the US. But here in the Netherlands, his perspective is very common among physicians...we always try to reduce hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesesterol first with dietary advice in stead of medication, and most patient I treat don not want medication anyway...some are able to reduce their blood pleasure, actually cute type II diabetes and cholesterol...but many do not and end up with medication on the long term. But we never start with medication as a first step.
I've been on carnivore 6 months. All my prediabetic symptoms are gone. I feel 20 years younger, no longer snore or stop breathing in my sleep, I've dropped over 55 pounds, went down 5 pants sizes, and I have crazy energy. My blood pressure when I started was in the 150's/90's TERRIBLE.... Now it's 117/77 and my rested heart went from mid 80's to low 60's now. I feel like my ADHD is gone, and I'm able to focus on tasks until I complete them. It's like I'm laser focused now.
When I first heard about the carnivore way of eating,I thought 'no way' but being an inquisitive person,I looked into it.Been carnivore 4 months now,NAFLD,gone,highBP,gone,pre diabetes,gone.Lost 25 lbs,more energy and an all over feeling of well being.Will be 70 next month and feel 40.So thankful for an inquisitive mind.
@@justinmclaughlin1953 Yes I eat eggs.3-4 every morning,sometimes with 2-3 stripes of bacon.(just plain bacon,no maple flavor,you always have to check)Some days I will have 1 cup of coffee with about a tbsp of butter.I never really get hungry for rest of day.For supper I either have a steak(if I find them on sale) or I will have cooked hamburger with an egg scrambled in,and parmasian cheese sprinkled on top.I make my own bone broth and drink maybe a cup,every several days.I also eat liver 2×week,instead of the steak or hamburger.I also eat chicken,and fish(wild only) which is hard to find.I have found that pork is no longer palatable for me anyway.I know it sounds really bland but really I don't miss any of the other food,and am quite satisfied.I do have plain pork rinds on hand if I really feel like a snack,and will dip them in cream cheese.I also grind the pork rinds for a coating on the liver.All in All I actually find it cheaper,and much less fuss,And I was a pretty good cook all my life and enjoyed it.But now I eat to live as opposed to living to eat.I have taken up walking because of the extra energy and walk 3-4 miles a day.I started this figuring I would do it for 3 months,I'm going into 5th month and no,I will never go back.Check out Dr Ken Berry's utube channel,he also has lots of info.
depending on the portion size of the liver, it would be safer to only eat once a week or eat 1 small piece a day. its so nutritious it can actually get you issues with hypervitaminosis.
When I was a kid in 1970s.. grocery stores where do much much smaller simple basic foods... Hardly any processed foods ..Now stores are huge 60-70% are processed foods 😮
I changed my diet several years ago to low carb and whole foods. I was able to stop taking several thousand dollars worth of prescription medication, some with nasty side-effects. I feel much better and my autoimmune disease symptoms are dramatically better. I dropped over 30 lbs and my weight hasn't fluctuated more than 5 lbs in over 6 years. I don't monitor calories at all, only carbohydrate intake.
Dr. Shawn Baker deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Carnivore diet saved my life and it's thanks to him, Dr. Ken Berry, and so many others in the carnivore community. Try carnivore for 30 days and see for yourself. It's life changing.
@@chuckleezodiac24 Yeah... No... You worded that terribly. Veggies and fruit did not make you obese. You following a poor diet made you fat. Eating slightly healthier made you feel healthier and look healthier. Magic.
When I did carnivore for 30 days last year, I lost 15lb in that month, I slept better, I didn’t wake up groggy, I didn’t have one single headache, my energy was ridiculous, I was never bloated, my focus was great, and overall I felt incredible. The science behind this is real.
It most probably was not the carnivore diet but the missing of all the processed junk before. Almost the same would happen if for example you eat just legumes for 30 days
@@willnox1 hey! So in the morning it was Eggs/Bacon. Lunch was either tuna fish, duck, grouse or venison along with shrimp and hard cheddar cheese sticks since they have no sugar or carbs, and dinner was either steak, fresh fish from the lake, chicken breast, or pork chops.

Formerly a vegan, vegetarian, or whole food, mostly plant for the last 20 years. I am now on day 10 of my carnivore diet. I will say the difficult thing is the red meat I just don’t like it but I also must admit I am feeling better already I don’t wake up and have instant anxiety that I must begin to manage with meditation and affirmations and exercise, etc. it just isn’t there! I am willing to throw out everything I have been taught, certified in and even preached, because there was no denying that it was not helping my own physical health or mental health. So at almost 46, I have wiped the slate clean from all that I know to be healthy and I am starting a new experiment on myself following the carnivore and quite frankly 80% fat diet and I’m excited to see where this leads. Thankful for this community and these amazing doctors.
Current vegan. Takes a lot of work to stay healthy. You need borderline intermediate knowledge of nutritional science. Or just a hunger to find the right info. Health is a constant balance. But meat is purely a grade source of protein with b12. I wonder where you went wrong. The biggest issues, no matter how good you balance your plant-based diet are b12, iodine, selenium, omega 3, the rest are sometimes and maybe’s. Especially iodine. You’re going to get quite if you’re reintroducing dairy products. I always wonder how much is placebo and what you really needed. Because you can’t get around what’s really in the food.
@@nick-dq1hh Vegans are frequently deficient in calcium, iron, taurine, creatine, and other minerals too because they're either not available in plant foods and/or they're consuming loads of antinutrients from plants and legumes that are interfering with the absorption of several vitamins and minerals. Not to mention that the vitamins and minerals in vegan foods are far less bioavailable to humans than those in meat.
@@derekkewl55 An ignorant, misleading comment which requires context. Are you aware he was the top-surgeon with the best record, and was the head of his department and local professional surgeons' organization? So Dr. Baker wasn't able to continue to afford defending himself in a kangaroo court against BS claims from a powerful, well funded, for-profit hospital and health industry which has a monopoly. The hospital and the industry came after him with BS claims because he was helping patients to NOT require expensive surgery by encouraging improvements to their diet, which takes money out of the hospital's pocket (even his). He could have just kept his head down and kept receiving his well-paid paycheck, but instead lost it all because he was helping people not go into debt to line the pockets of an industry which exploits its clientele. Also, he was re-instated shortly afterwards, because upon review, it was obvious what had happened to him was BS. Dr. Baker's actions, and what he has suffered for others say a lot about him. Your comment says a lot about you. Some self reflection is recommended.
@@daltonrothchild6569 I thought he was crazy too, but I could not find any deception in what he said, and he said stuff that was logical and rational. It was hard to dismiss. I did 6 months of deep-dives and due diligence before I attempted strict carnivore, to great results.
@ScottXiong you can tell me aaaaallll about his backstory all you want but he advocates for a diet/lifestyle which has ZERO studies or meta analyses supporting it. It's all just word of mouth and lies. They spend all their time trying to say veganism is bogus when we have thousands of papers and hundreds of doctors proving "Dr." Baker is a lunatic. He also doesn't even follow the diet he claims is the best. He has admitted to eating outside the diet and has shown fruits in his home in the background of his videos. He's a hack and there's not a single modicum of evidence to support the contrary.
I've been on the carnivore diet for about 4 months and I've lost 50 lbs and down three pant sizes. plus a lot more of other health issues that have gotten better. It's changed my life and saved it.
It has nothing to do with carnivore. You simply stopped eating shit food. Keep up carnivore long term and you won't feel so good when your heart is clogged.
As I've aged, physical activity levels have declined and my weight has drastically increased I've tried a couple of different diet routines, including whole food vegetarian diets where I'd try to eat more greens, veggies, paired with rice and eggs. The vegetarian diet maintained my weight; I gained nothing but lost nothing. So a few months ago I did a stretch of just nothing but tuna, lean chicken, eggs, and steak. Two meals a day, ate until I was feeling full. Felt like a champ. Dropped 20 lbs like it was cool. My energy levels haven't been like that since I was in my 20's.
Joe, excellent job for providing a platform to Carnivore community leaders. Now you must extend it to Dr. Sean OMara, and provide him the full episode. This is your public service. Dr. Omara is the next level and deserves your attention.
Back in the 90's I needed to loose a lot of weight. I went on the Atkins Diet, and lost the weight very quickly. I have to say that once I got over the initial carb withdrawals, I felt great. It's easy to follow, you never feel hungry between meals, it's surprising the small portion sizes that will satisfy you and you stop eating many processed foods. I never tried Carnivor, but I would imagine it is similar.
Before all the Keto and carnivore diets I found that the Atkins diet was the only diet that worked for me. Going vegetarian and exercising didn't do anything. Counting calories didn't do anything. Eating less than 20grams of carbs per day is the only thing that has allowed me to lose weight. That and fasting.
I've been a whole food, organic, vegan for 10+ years. i cut out 90% of processed foods, sugar and unhealthy oils. i don't take any prescription drugs. I am healthier at 58 than I ever was at 40ish.
3:20 The interesting thing about Seventh Day Adventists is at the same time of them being obsessed with vegetarianism, Dr. James Salisbury was discovering that an all beef diet was curing soldiers' digestive ailments during the Civil War and began advocating for a carnivore diet after the war and marketed a product called Salisbury Steak (familiar to many Baby Boomers and Fallout 3 fans I'm sure).
Exactly one month into strict OMAD carnivore, down 17lbs, feel amazing. A lot of inflammation gone. Still a long way to go but my God the results are amazing. The hardest part isn’t cutting out the junk, it’s the people in your life who simply refuse to believe what you’re doing is healthy despite what’s in front of their eyes.
I recently cut out all sugar and carbs (except vegetables like sweet potato and lentils. 2 meals a day, mostly meat. Not only lost 40 pounds but my brain fog and 3pm crash are gone. My mood is far better. Honestly I feel super human
Try white or purple sweet potato… less sugar than orange, more so if diabetic.

You can eat all meats and vegetables only nothing else, same thing happens.
@@carsandthings1995 xcepnt you should calculate how much money you wasted on vegetables

@@carsandthings1995 I did that for years (all meats and vegetables). No change in hypertension, the doctor did say it was incurable after all. Last month I cut all carbs and went off medication 32 days later. Hypertension cured by carnivore.

Then I go back to cooking my own meals, and no matter how good it tastes, I don't overeat.

I'm going to tell you something that might sound some what shocking, but the events did in fact happen. And that is cannibalism during civil war and the great depression.
Quote: "The Great Depression was one of the darkest periods in American history. Millions of people lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Desperate times often lead to desperate measures, and there are many stories of people resorting to cannibalism during the Great Depression.
While it is impossible to know for sure how many people resorted to cannibalism, there are certainly many stories of people eating their own children or other family members".
In some cases, people were so desperate that they would kill and eat strangers. While cannibalism is certainly a horrific act, it is important to remember that the Great Depression was an incredibly difficult time for many people. Desperate measures were often necessary in order to survive.
Same during the Russian civil war. Many turned to cannibalism, even selling body parts for other sources of food, as they did not want to eat their own children.
Cannibalism during "The Great Famine" in 1845 where a third of Irelands population were wiped out due to starvation.
Now I know you have lived a long and prosperous life so chances of you experiencing such crisis are slim. But it's not a matter of "if" it will happen again, but "when" it will happen again. History does tend to repeat itself.
It's human nature to feel comfortable within our society knowing we have access to food at the push of a button, but history has shown that things CAN happen, and that a global economic collapse can and will put us into survival mode which is why people need to be weary.
We can enjoy our food now, but soon will come a time where our "cravings" will really put us to the test.
God be with us when that happens 🙏

A few years ago, I was borderline diabetic and I asked my doctor to give me a diet to help bring down my A1C. She told me, I could do that, but what you really need to do is quit eating out and cook whole foods at home and leave the processed foods alone. She said if it comes in a box it's processed. Just go to the store and buy raw meats, vegetables and fruits and cook your meals with that.
I did what I was told, I lost about 8 lbs, but I wasn't obese before, and after about 6 months I went back to the doctor for my blood tests and I was no longer within the pre-diabetic range.

My maternal grandmother’s family was apart of a long term study in Roseto, PA in the 60s where they looked at why heart disease was so low in the area. A quick google search about the Roseto Effect will tell you that it has to do with family ties and being close to your family (which I do agree with), but having read through the original article and talking to my grandmother about it, the fact that they ate homemade pretty much everything is always left out of google’s answers. Homemade pasta, homemade sauce, homemade wine, self raised chickens and locally farmed hogs and cattle. There were little to no preservatives in their diet and it showed in their heart and overall health.
I think the homemade flour was the key. Think of someone that sells flour like they're a cocaine seller. If they have a pound of cocaine and add a pound of something cheap to it, they now have two pounds of what they're calling cocaine that they can sell, which means more money. I think the flour on the store shelf is like that cocaine. Part flour, part something really cheap that nobody would buy by itself.

Chris Palmer, the psychiatrist Shawn Baker mentioned in this podcast would be a great guest for a future epidose. His book Brain Energy is a fascinating take on mental health!
Agreed we have to get him on JRE, his book was great.
The most EYE-OPENING moment in my life was when I began to follow the ketogenic diet. I have moved beyond that, but the most IMPORTANT thing it taught me was how much SUGAR I was ingesting without realizing it! Sugar is in EVERYTHING, and it makes you hungry so you go eat more of what they are selling. Or at least it does me!
Start looking at labels, people. The amount of sugar you are ingesting will SHOCK you!
There’s sugar in the salt packets at McDonalds, along with some other shit.
Dr. Baker is my real life hero. I purchased his book, studied the diet and it was the best decision of my life. I started in March of 2022 when I was over 370lbs and horribly depressed with my life. Fast forward to today and I am 255lbs with perfect blodwork, no high cholesterol anymore, no depression, no energy crashes and no more body pain throughout the day. I also actually really enjoy working out. I owe my life to that change. I am very grateful for Dr. Baker.

It's great he got his medical licence taken off him and he needed to do something
@@trotskyite1his medical license was reinstated shortly after cause they found nothing wrong.
@@scott2864there's a lot wrong with him though. He only recently acknowledged that you need to eat carbs for a healthy diet after lieing about this for many years to keep up book sales
Doctors generally are.
The fact that he laughed when he looked at Joe and said “everybody is on drugs”…is hilarious.
It's true that's how most people are skinny. Not me thou I love weed n eating
I'm not. I'm also ripped and muscular as a results of intense calisthenics and MMA training over last 2 decades. I'm also vegan, b****es

Thank you Joe and Shaun for getting this info out there. saved my life
I would like to get it out there how dangerous aspartame can be to some people. My late husband had episodes of such intense rage and total lack of self control . I noticed almost by accident that it happened every time he drank diet soda, then read a bit in the news aspartame can cause mood swings. His wasn't mood swings, it was far more intense, ripping clothes up, smashing things, even his face changed in appearance. He was so happy with this news that it wasn't a defect in him, it was a physical reaction he could now avoid. He could now determine it just wasn't diet soda but McDonalds hamburgers and processed meat as well. I stopped buying all this processed food, fast forward 15 years and my daughter calls me crying from University she thinks she is losing her mind, told me she ripped up her sweater in a rage. Had a flash back and told her you are not going crazy, you are having a reaction to aspartame. I know there are many undiagnosed people out there with this condition. I wonder what else is it doing to our brains
It's possible that aspartame could do that to somebody if they were very genetically different than most people but aspartame is not in hamburgers and such to those times might have been "real".
You sure he didnt have any spirit of addiction…. Backed by a lack of love which leads to anger..?
Absolutely not, I’m a very calm person and I was never scared of him, he never hurt me just inanimate objects. Every time he ate aspartame or chemical food additives his jaw started clenching and it was visible in his face. If you love your diet pop keep drinking it and might as well give it to your children
Sounds like he may have a case of phenylketonuria. On the back of a diet coke, it'll say people sensitive to phenylketonurics (aspartame is one) should not consume it. Google the symptoms of phenylketonuria, and temper tantrums/ rage is one of the top ones.
Wow!
I've lived with boarderline insomnia and GERD most of my life, and thought it was just kinda how it would be because a lot of my family has the same issues, but then I went on the carnivore diet and within three weeks I quit snoring and slept a full night for the first time in 15 years. After a month I had lost nearly 30 pounds. My GERD disappeared and I could lay flat at night. I felt amazing, then the holidays rolled around and I cheated and started eating carbs again. The last few months have been hell. It's all came back, and confirmed that the weight loss wasn't what was helping my issues. It's the diet. The carnivore diet really does fix things, and I'm currently getting back on it. It takes a few weeks to get back into it, but I can't handle going back to how I used to feel.
jojo effect
@@Waynelolzyoure delusional
the same thing with me 👍 plus my breath and cardio improved and i wasn't even working out
It’s a good reminder the vast majority of normal GERD (which affects a huge portion of the population) is a mechanical issue of the opening of the stomach. Once you’re obese you’re going to have a weakened diaphragm muscle, bad posture, constant opening or poor closing of the stomach. The basic biology is that the diaphragm muscle controls the top of your stomach opening. Bad design by nature :p
I've always had problems with insomnia, managed to solve it by eating a lot less. No longer eating til I'm completely full.
I am so happy to see Shawn on Joe's podcast again! I have been eating an all-meat diet since 2009.
disgusting

The 4 pillars of health are:
1:Nutrition, you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet. 2: Exercise, your body is designed to move, so move it in a significant way each day. 3: Stress management, stress is a killer, so learn to manage your stress. (Pray, meditate netc.) 4: Sleep, sleep is when your body cleans its systems and repairs damage. Get a good night's sleep.
💯 % Great summary 😊
Great comment!😊
A lot of work when all you have to do it eat meat and get the same results lol... But you be you even if you are eating toxins from vegetables and your body has to work so hard in removing the toxins and then has to try and move 85% (husk) through your intestines to finally get rid of it.
Why do we demonize everyone? Kellogg and SDA started at a time when infectious disease was the #1 cause of death. They believed meat introduced parasites to the body which is true. So stop vilifying the opposition. By the way, I'm keto/carnivore and Weston a price follower.
Going to Spotify to see the full interview...
Thanks for the clip. Dr Baker is changing lives!
Just from personal experience as well. If you never buy desserts, chips, etc to keep around the house. Zero snacks besides protein bars, fruits, or plain popcorn, stuff like that. You stop craving the fake foods. If I gotta eat, I gotta cook. It slows me down from indulging if not makes it impossible to eat trash.
Please don’t eat energy bars or popcorn. Eat enough animal fat and protein first, then have veggies or fruit if you choose. It’s about the bioavailable nutrients in foods. 👍
@@jeannedigennaro6484 I don’t eat energy bars and plain popcorn is a dehydrated vegetable. So um not sure what you’re adding. 👍
@@DarthBane-zf8wv actually, corn is a grain. I avoid all grains.
I'm primarily protein based in my diet but I do allow myself other things occasional. It's amazing how fast your body composition shifts if you start consuming more processed foods. It's absolutely devastating stuff and that Nova study is scary as hell because they're just crunching numbers and concluding "yeah, it'll keep someone alive"
Both of you are heroes for telling people how to get yourself better when the system doesn't care about you being healthy
Since i went carnivore i was finally able to get my fibromyalgia and related intestinal issues in order, I count myself incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon these carnivore advocates. Easily the biggest positive change I've had in my recent years so thank you to all the Doctors and fellow patients who have found this incredible truth!
I'd be very curious if you went on something like the potato diet if you would have the same result
Fibromyalgia is a made up diagnosis
You didnt cured it, you just removed the agitators.
@@wordsalad01do you only eat meat all day ?
What's the price range of the carnivore diet? Was it cheaper or more expensive than what your regular diet was? I got intestinal problems and was looking for a way to relieve the problems I have
Great video Joe & Shawn..
Been doing Carnivore for almost 3 months ..Feeling much better..
Getting off of sugars has been tough but when I think about the stomach aches an pains I had for a couple years after eating Has made it easier to quit the crap haven't lost weight thank God 6' 185 63 yrs young..keep the videos coming Peace!✌️

Dr Shawn Baker is an amazing man; thank you for interviewing him that many more can benefit from what he shares.
Been following Shaun and eating Carno for ten months. I am 62 and I have my youthful figure back and I am off of all meds and can do my health care worker job like I use to with zero pain. I am strong as a horse. Thank you carnivore diet for changing my life.
Been on and offcarnivore diet for 5 years. My body gets inflammation within a week of eating bread, flour, processed food etc. Carnivore diet makes me feel less sore and stiff all the time. Vegetables don't hurt anything. This is how my grandparents ate growing up in the 1930s. They were strong until switching to convenient microwavable meals.
You have microbiome issues. Fix that and you wont have to be so strict in diet.

What happens when your uric acid, homocysteine, and LDL increase? I know, you have results... but for how long... we are omnivores and not all meats are equal. Wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp are WAY healthier than red meat and fowl. I cured my prostatitis, gout, and lost 100 lbs. Your diet isn't sustainable or natural. Humans aren't carnivores and never have been. Eat some leafy green vegetables, tubers, roots, nuts, and berries. Your own teeth and gut prove that you're an omnivore. Our diet has always been primarily plant based, just like bears. High saturated fats coupled with high cholesterol are not healthy. You need low saturated fats with high cholesterol and polyunsaturated fats, such as fatty fish and shrimp. Omega-3 ALA, DHA, and EPA fatty acids are what we need. As well as Omega-9 (real olive oil). There is no way that red meat and fowl is healthier than wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp. Sardinians and Okinawans live the longest for a reason. A carnivore diet isn't sustainable. This is similar to how an ultra processed diet isn't sustainable.

I’ve never heard anyone that has tried carnivore for 60+ days that wants to go back to how they were eating before…
I've been eating almost zero processed foods for 10 years. It, along with a good exercise regiment, has kept me incredibly healthy. I want to try going full carnivore. I went vegan for a couple months and never felt worse. My guts were torn up, I was cranky, had inflammation and started having kidney pains.
Good luck 🍀stay strong 💪 💕
Day 148 carnivore, at 69 in the best health of my life, no more BP meds, 45 lbs lighter, sleep like a log, no more food obsessions, spending WAY less on food, easy to water fast.... so grateful I went beyond my initial reaction and really looked into it!
Curious about this diet. Can I ask is it more expensive than eating the way average people do or the same or less?
for me it is WAY less expensive. That processed poison is extremely expensive per serving, (not to mention the extreme costs of health consequences!) and a lot of veggies and fruits purchased go to waste. Depends where you live and buy your meat, and what meats you purchase, of course.@@Lomogrammaton
@Lomogrammaton way, way, way the hell cheaper than any other diet. You naturally become a one meal a dayer, and if you eat things like burger and liver, you will eat about 2 lbs and not be hungry one spec for 24 hours. That's about 9 bucks a day. Thick proper ribeyes at BJ's (east coast costco) about 15 bucks per 1.25 lb. Pork rinds for a crunchy snack 2 bucks. It's the best! I feel ridiculously good every day.
@@InsolentVillagerI eat 1 pound of ground beef for breakfast every morning and I’m not hungry till 7 pm every night.
This may sound dumb but where can you find like a meal plan to follow if you want to try the diet
Nice to see Dr. Baker on the POD. Next get @Anthony Chaffee MD .. this dude change my life
I’ve been on carnivore for over a month now. Just eating when I’m hungry and stopping when I’m full. I started due to skin issues, dandruff, aches, stomach issues. They started going away after a week. I’ve tried to reintroduce some foods but have had reactions to everything so far.
I’m be found a good doctor thankfully who is fully supportive but f this and wants me to stay on it for a while.
Additionally - I had SEVERE sleep apnea, stopping breathing 60+ times an hour. My wife said my snoring has finally stopped as well.
A very important episode. Thanks Joe!
Just don't eat processed food or white sugar. This will instantly make anyone healthier.
Every food is processed
@@dtulip58 no it isn't.

Was told last November I had diabetes type 2. Went on rabbit food till January, HBA1C went from 77 to 44, then went on carnivore in January and had my blood tested last week: 35. Oh and I lost over 55 pounds since November and sleep apnea is gone. My doctor used the words : incredible and astonishing.
Go carnivore.
Stick to the outside of the grocery store, and you will see a change. Wont be overnight, but it takes time to process that garbage out.
Glad that Joe is using his large platform to share this very important message!
no. he should focus on Atlantis, UFOs and conspiracy shit.
Thanks for coming by, 2016.
Before high fructose corn syrup became ubiquitous in food products, people just looked different! Healthier and trimmer in general.
Don't buy food with HFCS. Pretty simple
I never really ate tons of processed foods, but the carnivore diet has been great for me. It completely cured all of my acne and has made it super easy to stay lean. I've been eating this way since 2015 and I honestly can't see myself ever going back to eating plants.
Gonna be eating bugs for climate change soon

Those bidet attachments, even the really cheap ones are awesome! Especially if they are connected to hot & cold water and have temperature regulation!
A Wl comfortably warm water stream can be ask amazing solution for even severe constipation as it both relaxes the sphincter and begins to break up even write compacted waste.
It is also very good to follow up a BM with a little enema/stream in order to evacuate the last little bit that generally ends up remaining there until the next movement, which is not healthy and has been limited to colon and prostate issues.
Beef is good for you and makes you strong. That's why they don't want you to have it.
Yup! Big Pharma wants to keep us sick!! …no money for them in well people 😊
Shawn Baker is great! Highly recommend giving him more listens.
Thank you very much for that perfectly explained info!
Thank you Joe. More please.
I'm not a big meat eater but eat what I can tolerate. Even if you don't go full carnivore, eating a Keto diet is transformative. It's amazing how good you feel in a few weeks. There are plenty of doctors on YT who outline what to eat and what to avoid, so there's no excuse! I was a sugar and carb addict for ages but no more.
In the end everyone are different and carnivore diet is definitely not for everyone. You just have to listen to your body what he wants and how you feel.
@@t0lex14wrong. It IS for everyone because its our species specific diet. Stop this garbage phrase : "eVeRyOnE iS dIfFeRenT" no, not interms of diet. Theres no lion that eats grass. They all eat meat. Carnivore is for every single person on the planet because every single person on the planet is a human. What else would you eat?? Starches that will inflame you? Oxalate filled plants? Hahahahahah
Keto is too much, just cut the processed foods and eat some good organic vegetables (even if non organic you can do the baking soda wash)
Not everyone tolerate keto, it can be very bad for about 30% of the population. I belong to this 30% unfortunately.
@@withnail-and-i keto is too much? R*tard. Have fun with oxalate loaded veggies hahahah
There was my life before the carnivore diet and then my life since I started it about a year and a half ago. I was a slave to food for my entire adult life prior to the carnivore diet, and now at 51 I have zero cravings. I went from having a promiscuous / destructive relationship with food to a loving / nurturing relationship with food. Never going back
And yes, like most everyone else, I've lost a ton of weight. I went through a total body transformation. And my energy level never faulters. I sleep like a baby and am in beast mode during all waking hours. etc etc etc
The zero cravings is HUGE! I've experienced the same over last month since my wife and I began this amazing journey! Feeling awesome at 57! Better than my 30s!
I'm on hybrid carnivore diet (for a while) and all my blood work has gotten better, I don't crave any foods and now rarely eat carbs and no processed foods. Never felt better
I was at Walmart recently, shopping my usual selection. Some fruit, some veggies, water. Coconut flour, almond flour, butter, eggs, chicken, beef. Whole milk, some greek yogurt. Mostly healthy I would think.
One of the isles, a lady rolls past me and her about 14 year old. One shopping buggy each. Filled to the brim with: instant soups, sodas, beer, cereals, oreos, cookies, crackers, pudding cups, instant dinners, chips, etc. Did not see one thing in there NOT processed and full of additives, chemicals and garbage. Highly paliative foods. All of it. How can anyone fuel their body like this is beyond me.
The carnivore method of eating absolutely revolutionised my health. I can point to sauna, cold immersion and various other protocols as hugely beneficial however the backbone to this change over the last 2 years has absolutely been the focus on meat, liver and bone broth.

We also almost never mentioned nutrition other than confirming that being obese is detrimental.
I have Wegener's Granulomatosis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) and I've tried carnivore for over a month. Other than the diarrhea, it might be the best I've ever felt and the most muscle I've ever packed on in a period of time.

@@CAM-hc8ipyour patients are going to be lucky with a doctor like you. I have a good doctor now, but one thing I have never understood is why doctors in general don’t tell their patients other than cutting down on processed foods, go out and find a diet that works for you and makes you feel better.
They literally give you the food chart and tell you to follow that. When it’s clearly not a one size fits all model.
crazy that the junk food companies are writing the dietary guidelines. Sinister was Dr. Bakers term. I am 100% with him. Quit the junk food, quit the packaged foods, and eat real whole foods. Most of the food is to come from animals as I have experienced greatly improved how I feel when not eating fruits and vegetables.
I was so deadly sick as a type 1 diabetic with hormone issues and a severe histamine intolerance that was killing me. I was puking 24/7 sleeping for only 20 mins every 3 days, blood pressure dropping, not absorbing nutrients so blood sugar was dropping to 20 sometimes even 15 or 10 .. I had an ambulance at my house 2-3 times a week finding me ice cold & unresponsive on the floor. I was starving to death. No doctor would help me figure out what was wrong.
My trauma therapist saved my life thanks to the work of this man, dr Ken berry, & Dr Georgia Ede. In a matter of a few weeks on a grass fed meat diet my life drastically changed. I was keeping food in. I was sleeping. I started healing my gut (which healed fast on the carnivore diet) my blood sugars started to stabilize.. when I’m in ketosis and fat adapted my blood sugars no longer effect me like they did on a carb diet.. if I drop to 60 I’m totally functioning talking and thinking.. even at 50 I can fully function…

4:32 there are many people who have looked at it including myself. We have studied the effects of gut macrobiota on the physiological metrics, we've done gut microbiota transplantation to older mice and rejuvenated their appetite, fur, activity levels etc. We have also studied the effects of dysbacteriosis on immune system, longevity, overall metabolic rates (including libido). So there are people who've done that.
I tried cutting out as much processed food as I can (on a student budget).
I didn't keep it up, not because it's addictive but because it's expensive to buy meat and vegetables compared to processed food. And that's completely insane.
But for the time I did, I felt like a different person. I truly did.
I felt much more energetic and motivated and my sleep quality was so much better. My bowel movement also improved alot
Cut out the vegetables.
They are useless.

Dr Baker is a TRUE doctor and lives true to the hippocratic oath. And a \ doctor who has enough courage to stand up for the Truth and expose the corrupted ones. Thank you for boldly doing what many have yet to aspire to. And eating meat saves lives!
Not really. Maybe in the US. But here in the Netherlands, his perspective is very common among physicians...we always try to reduce hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesesterol first with dietary advice in stead of medication, and most patient I treat don not want medication anyway...some are able to reduce their blood pleasure, actually cute type II diabetes and cholesterol...but many do not and end up with medication on the long term. But we never start with medication as a first step.
I've been on carnivore 6 months. All my prediabetic symptoms are gone. I feel 20 years younger, no longer snore or stop breathing in my sleep, I've dropped over 55 pounds, went down 5 pants sizes, and I have crazy energy. My blood pressure when I started was in the 150's/90's TERRIBLE.... Now it's 117/77 and my rested heart went from mid 80's to low 60's now. I feel like my ADHD is gone, and I'm able to focus on tasks until I complete them. It's like I'm laser focused now.

Great to see Dr. Baker back on the podcast, him and Dr. Saladino have changed my life for the better.
When I first heard about the carnivore way of eating,I thought 'no way' but being an inquisitive person,I looked into it.Been carnivore 4 months now,NAFLD,gone,highBP,gone,pre diabetes,gone.Lost 25 lbs,more energy and an all over feeling of well being.Will be 70 next month and feel 40.So thankful for an inquisitive mind.
My problem with it , is that high quality meats would be very expensive. Do you eat eggs ? What’s your daily routine of eating ?
@@justinmclaughlin1953 Yes I eat eggs.3-4 every morning,sometimes with 2-3 stripes of bacon.(just plain bacon,no maple flavor,you always have to check)Some days I will have 1 cup of coffee with about a tbsp of butter.I never really get hungry for rest of day.For supper I either have a steak(if I find them on sale) or I will have cooked hamburger with an egg scrambled in,and parmasian cheese sprinkled on top.I make my own bone broth and drink maybe a cup,every several days.I also eat liver 2×week,instead of the steak or hamburger.I also eat chicken,and fish(wild only) which is hard to find.I have found that pork is no longer palatable for me anyway.I know it sounds really bland but really I don't miss any of the other food,and am quite satisfied.I do have plain pork rinds on hand if I really feel like a snack,and will dip them in cream cheese.I also grind the pork rinds for a coating on the liver.All in All I actually find it cheaper,and much less fuss,And I was a pretty good cook all my life and enjoyed it.But now I eat to live as opposed to living to eat.I have taken up walking because of the extra energy and walk 3-4 miles a day.I started this figuring I would do it for 3 months,I'm going into 5th month and no,I will never go back.Check out Dr Ken Berry's utube channel,he also has lots of info.
depending on the portion size of the liver, it would be safer to only eat once a week or eat 1 small piece a day. its so nutritious it can actually get you issues with hypervitaminosis.
Excellent Video! Very informative and interesting!
When I was a kid in 1970s.. grocery stores where do much much smaller simple basic foods... Hardly any processed foods ..Now stores are huge 60-70% are processed foods 😮

When I did carnivore for 30 days last year, I lost 15lb in that month, I slept better, I didn’t wake up groggy, I didn’t have one single headache, my energy was ridiculous, I was never bloated, my focus was great, and overall I felt incredible. The science behind this is real.
It most probably was not the carnivore diet but the missing of all the processed junk before. Almost the same would happen if for example you eat just legumes for 30 days
@@maikus422 it was 💯 the carnivore diet dude lol
What sort of meats did you eat during that month?
If you are certain, then good for you.
@@willnox1 hey! So in the morning it was Eggs/Bacon. Lunch was either tuna fish, duck, grouse or venison along with shrimp and hard cheddar cheese sticks since they have no sugar or carbs, and dinner was either steak, fresh fish from the lake, chicken breast, or pork chops.

Met this dude in the Seattle airport. Class act. Helped my wife and I out quite a bit. We're going Carnivore Paul Saladino style with fruit and honey.
Curious, what's the reasoning behind adding fruit/honey as opposed to just a straight carnivore diet?
Yeah, I’m sure he did “help” you wife out. Kinda sus pal
Yo! Love your reactions man
@@bcab7955because Saladinos testosterone levels tanked because “shocker” carbs help your test levels. So he changed and says “lower” carb but not super low carb 🤦♂️
@@bcab7955it's mainly for people who exercise a lot.
Formerly a vegan, vegetarian, or whole food, mostly plant for the last 20 years. I am now on day 10 of my carnivore diet. I will say the difficult thing is the red meat I just don’t like it but I also must admit I am feeling better already I don’t wake up and have instant anxiety that I must begin to manage with meditation and affirmations and exercise, etc. it just isn’t there!
I am willing to throw out everything I have been taught, certified in and even preached, because there was no denying that it was not helping my own physical health or mental health. So at almost 46, I have wiped the slate clean from all that I know to be healthy and I am starting a new experiment on myself following the carnivore and quite frankly 80% fat diet and I’m excited to see where this leads. Thankful for this community and these amazing doctors.
Are you seasoning your meat? Do you use herbs and spices? I think I want to try this finally
Current vegan. Takes a lot of work to stay healthy. You need borderline intermediate knowledge of nutritional science. Or just a hunger to find the right info. Health is a constant balance. But meat is purely a grade source of protein with b12.
I wonder where you went wrong. The biggest issues, no matter how good you balance your plant-based diet are b12, iodine, selenium, omega 3, the rest are sometimes and maybe’s. Especially iodine. You’re going to get quite if you’re reintroducing dairy products. I always wonder how much is placebo and what you really needed. Because you can’t get around what’s really in the food.
Yes, one does have to experiment on themselves. Get enough fat, enough salt, possibly iodine drops, too.
@@nick-dq1hh he went wrong by pretending that humans have the digestive system of god damn ruminant animals. you are making the same mistake
@@nick-dq1hh Vegans are frequently deficient in calcium, iron, taurine, creatine, and other minerals too because they're either not available in plant foods and/or they're consuming loads of antinutrients from plants and legumes that are interfering with the absorption of several vitamins and minerals. Not to mention that the vitamins and minerals in vegan foods are far less bioavailable to humans than those in meat.
Where can I see the whole thing?
I checked on Spotify but I only saw the audio version.
I found carnivore through JRE and Peterson, and have learned much from Baker, Chafee, Berry and others. I just want to say thank you.
Great to see Dr. Shawn Baker back on.
It's been 6 years!
Yeah everyone laughed at him back then
He lost his medical license for a reason.....
@@derekkewl55 An ignorant, misleading comment which requires context.
Are you aware he was the top-surgeon with the best record, and was the head of his department and local professional surgeons' organization?
So Dr. Baker wasn't able to continue to afford defending himself in a kangaroo court against BS claims from a powerful, well funded, for-profit hospital and health industry which has a monopoly.
The hospital and the industry came after him with BS claims because he was helping patients to NOT require expensive surgery by encouraging improvements to their diet, which takes money out of the hospital's pocket (even his).
He could have just kept his head down and kept receiving his well-paid paycheck, but instead lost it all because he was helping people not go into debt to line the pockets of an industry which exploits its clientele.
Also, he was re-instated shortly afterwards, because upon review, it was obvious what had happened to him was BS.
Dr. Baker's actions, and what he has suffered for others say a lot about him.
Your comment says a lot about you.
Some self reflection is recommended.
@@daltonrothchild6569 I thought he was crazy too, but I could not find any deception in what he said, and he said stuff that was logical and rational.
It was hard to dismiss.
I did 6 months of deep-dives and due diligence before I attempted strict carnivore, to great results.
@ScottXiong you can tell me aaaaallll about his backstory all you want but he advocates for a diet/lifestyle which has ZERO studies or meta analyses supporting it. It's all just word of mouth and lies. They spend all their time trying to say veganism is bogus when we have thousands of papers and hundreds of doctors proving "Dr." Baker is a lunatic. He also doesn't even follow the diet he claims is the best. He has admitted to eating outside the diet and has shown fruits in his home in the background of his videos. He's a hack and there's not a single modicum of evidence to support the contrary.
Great video wish this was talked about more❤
Thanks so much Dr. Baker.🥩🧈🐷🥚👍
Thank you Jo for having Dr Shawn Baker on.
I've been on the carnivore diet for about 4 months and I've lost 50 lbs and down three pant sizes. plus a lot more of other health issues that have gotten better. It's changed my life and saved it.
You are amazing keep going ❤
It has nothing to do with carnivore. You simply stopped eating shit food. Keep up carnivore long term and you won't feel so good when your heart is clogged.
Pair it with fasting, friend. its like gaining superpowers
@@Bradawick I'm starting tomorrow!
Could it be not that it's a carnivore diet but you're eating healthier? Healthier In the sense you're not eating processed junk?
followed this guy for a while. He’s great
As I've aged, physical activity levels have declined and my weight has drastically increased I've tried a couple of different diet routines, including whole food vegetarian diets where I'd try to eat more greens, veggies, paired with rice and eggs. The vegetarian diet maintained my weight; I gained nothing but lost nothing. So a few months ago I did a stretch of just nothing but tuna, lean chicken, eggs, and steak. Two meals a day, ate until I was feeling full. Felt like a champ. Dropped 20 lbs like it was cool. My energy levels haven't been like that since I was in my 20's.
Joe, excellent job for providing a platform to Carnivore community leaders. Now you must extend it to Dr. Sean OMara, and provide him the full episode. This is your public service. Dr. Omara is the next level and deserves your attention.
Back in the 90's I needed to loose a lot of weight. I went on the Atkins Diet, and lost the weight very quickly. I have to say that once I got over the initial carb withdrawals, I felt great. It's easy to follow, you never feel hungry between meals, it's surprising the small portion sizes that will satisfy you and you stop eating many processed foods. I never tried Carnivor, but I would imagine it is similar.
It is life changing in so many ways that it almost sonds like a joke. But it isnt. Id recommend it
Before all the Keto and carnivore diets I found that the Atkins diet was the only diet that worked for me. Going vegetarian and exercising didn't do anything. Counting calories didn't do anything. Eating less than 20grams of carbs per day is the only thing that has allowed me to lose weight. That and fasting.
I've been a whole food, organic, vegan for 10+ years. i cut out 90% of processed foods, sugar and unhealthy oils. i don't take any prescription drugs. I am healthier at 58 than I ever was at 40ish.
3:20 The interesting thing about Seventh Day Adventists is at the same time of them being obsessed with vegetarianism, Dr. James Salisbury was discovering that an all beef diet was curing soldiers' digestive ailments during the Civil War and began advocating for a carnivore diet after the war and marketed a product called Salisbury Steak (familiar to many Baby Boomers and Fallout 3 fans I'm sure).
Exactly one month into strict OMAD carnivore, down 17lbs, feel amazing. A lot of inflammation gone. Still a long way to go but my God the results are amazing. The hardest part isn’t cutting out the junk, it’s the people in your life who simply refuse to believe what you’re doing is healthy despite what’s in front of their eyes.
