About Me:
My name is Rebekah Farmer. I am an overcomer of over 10 autoimmune diseases, chronic Lyme disease, and a chronic CDiff infection that almost took my life.
I am a full time health and life coach. My goal is to efficiently help as many people as possible and to spread the message of HOPE.
God is Healer, meat is medicine!
I use red light globes in the bedroom for the lamps next to the bed and never have phones on or in the bedroom at night
Excellent!
Goat milk kefir works perfectly well. No more cramps, insomnia, irregular heartbeats or sweating. No needs to consume tons of salt/electrolytes either.
Works for me too , however I can’t stop once I start . Can’t moderate then I’m craving sugar . 😢
Where do you find goat milk kefir?
I get it locally. But I am based in Central Asia. Finding goat milk in Europe or US should not be a problem either.
A pinch of salt on the tongue in addition to electrolytes has helped my son and I
Yes some carbs really do help.
I eat a high fat meal containing grass-fed grass-finished lamb, or a pound of Organic no-sugar bacon, and some sea salt no later than 4 hours before bed. Sometimes, if I wake up, I will take a little bit of benfotiamine with sulbutiamine, and I'm right back out! 🛏 Thank you, and have a great week, Rebekah!
Hi. Where do you buy Sulbutiamine?
The only no sugar bacon I've ever found has like three or four plant extracts for flavoring.... Literally never seen bacon made with just water (kind of disappointing that I'll have to find that stuff only through online or at a farm)
I used to have this problem. I find that taking tryptophan before bed helps.
Thank you Rebekah will try the fat first and see how that goes, if no improvement I'll try the berries (have been carnivore for about 6 weeks)
I wish I could say these tips helped me. Insomnia kicked in at the 4-week mark. Adjusted my electrolytes, especially magnesium, added B1, Omega 3, Potassium, Calcium, salt, Heart & Soil Sleep stack and eventually melatonin etc. etc. Tried the fat trick before bed... nope. Added in some lower toxin fruit and veggies for carbs.... nope! I am now entering into week 8 of insomnia with no end in sight. Morning sunlight, going to bed at the same time, cooler/dark room, turn off wifi, no phones in bedroom, epsom salt baths, etc. etc. etc. I am doing all the 'right' things. It may be coincidental that my body decided to tank my hormones (?) but I feel that carnivore sped up the transition. (I am a 46 year old female) Finally going to a doctor next week. Cortisol seems all over the place, fasting glucose is the highest it's ever been .. between 99-114 when before it was in the high 70's low 80's. My Ha1C shot up from 5.0 to 5.8 in 5 weeks (4 weeks carnivore, 1 week adding small amount of carbs). What sucks is that I desperately need sleep to help calm my stress and inflammation but my body just refuses to stay asleep after 1 or 2 sleep cycles which perpetuates the cycle. I NEVER had this issue before even when my kids were babies and I was nursing several times a night. I was not overweight at all before starting and worked out 4-5 days a week. I'm still not overweight but put on about 5-6 'stress' lbs and I have to muster the small amount of energy I have to do some light resistance training several days a week (for mental health). I make it a point to walk EVERY day especially after a bigger meal. I only had some inflammation with eczema and IBS symptoms (that were a result of food intolerances), sweet cravings and some signs of a slower thyroid. That is all I wanted to heal. I feel like I severely messed up my body. I can't even get back to the place I was before carnivore. I would take that any day over this.... I so badly wanted carnivore to work. There were some benefits during the time I was... much lower joint pain which I didn't realize I had, less urgency to pee, started to see body composition changes like getting a waist (I never had a waist. I was always an athletic build), and most of all, cravings GONE! I no longer thought about food all day. I guess this long comment is to help those that think they are doing something wrong and they just need to stick it out. Carnivore may just not be for you.
How you do it makes all the difference my friend! We evolved as a species eating this way. It's so important to find what works for you and not compare yourself to the next person! 💖 God bless you on your healing journey!
I'm in this same boat. Did you have any luck improving the sleep at all since?
@@SketchedbySte Staying strict carnivore, no. I had to go the "animal based" route and I eat meat with fruit, occasional lower toxic veggies and honey. As soon as I go strict carnivore, my sleep stops again. I tried everything. I had eventually accepted that carnivore did not work the same for me as it does for so many others. I actually grieved a little.
@@kristenmayo1289 yeah I feel similar so far, I have been trying off and on for a few years, have been very strict, lion diet, PKD etc, and I feel quite ill especially super high fat. Out of curiosity are you eating low enough carb fruit / veg where you are still in ketosis?
@@SketchedbySte No. There are days that I IF (16 hrs-ish) just because I am not hungry sometimes when I would normally eat breakfast but it's not a regular thing nor do I track it. I no longer stress about ketosis. My main motivation is to reduce inflammation, feel good in my body, put my eczema into remission and manage perimenopause as best I can without making my husband and kids want to run for the hills (this one is the MOST CHALLENGING!). I realized all the extra stress about all of it was not doing me any favors. I just had to set it down for a while and even stop watching CZcams videos just to give myself a break. Good luck and patience to you. 💜
Hi Rebekah I just saw your interveiw with Dr. Chaffee.a couple of years ago I went carnivore.60 pounds in 6 months,my arthritis along with carpel tunnel reversed itsself.in total I went from 255 down to 170ish.Since then I have slipped back (but carb intake is still down alot from b4).I'm fighting to get back on it.Thats my story.But I just wanted to thank you for doing what your doing.just subscribed to your channel.Berry and Chaffe I've been admiring their work for sometime.Glad to have someone else I can learn from.Lastly I learned about this From an Interveiw with Joe Roan and Jordon Peterson.Then I started to watch Jordons daughter.Thank you all for what you do :)
Hey there. I think you may have saved my life!
Found your channel yesterday evening. Watched this video last. I started carnivore -- including plenty of fat -- earlier this week. Haven't slept much since. But had been having problems sleeping even before that, so I wasn't surprised. (Also developed that issue when on a low carb diet years ago. So I knew.) Had been doing the bit-of-butter-before-bed thing all week with no success. You inspired me to quit being so shy with the butter. I didn't take it to bed with me. I'm 60 and have to get up several times a night anyway. But every time I did last night I took some butter. Had a bit of butter when I went to bed. I could FEEL my body saying NO! to sleep. Yeah -- cortisol or adrenaline or something. Got up 3 times in the course of 2 - 3 hours. Each time my body felt less resistant. I could feel the difference. After the 3rd trip when I got back in bed I could tell I was finally going to sleep. And I did. I slept for 5-6 hours.
BTW -- I love your "God is healer - food is medicine" and I couldn't agree more. New subscriber. I'm dealing with multiple health issues and I'm realizing that learning to listen to my body is going to be the key. It tried to tell me to go on a high fat, carnivore diet 15 years ago and I wouldn't listen. That mistake has come at a price. I'm ready to listen.
Tablespoon of good butter? I'll try that.
I find a B1 taken even during the day is calming.
And YES, eating some fat helped me get to sleep. Many thanks.
fascinating
I have a half slice of keto bread with almond butter and butter and a few blueberries an hour before bed... It helps getting to sleep
What helps me is eating enough food. If I go too low in protein or fat, I will not sleep. I need at least 135g of both protein and fat to get enough sleep. Sometimes more if I workout that day. It took me a while to figure out those numbers for my body. I also take magnesium glycinate before bed. Another thing that helps is putting a red light filter on my phone at night so that I don’t get the blue light coming in. That was a game changer for me.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hi Amel 😀 can you kindly tell me what does your 136g of fat consist of?
@@MillyWill999 mostly fatty meat and the animal fat I use to cook (tallow, butter). If the fat in the meat is not enough, I’ll add some butter with my meals.
@@amel-jg5ui I appreciate you for replying. I am on week 2 and not sleeping well, lots of energy in my brain when it's time to sleep. Sleep sometime for 3 or 4 hours. I asked because I am trying to work out what's best for me.
@@MillyWill999 eating some butter before bed and in the middle of the night when I wake up has helped me tremendously. I had insomnia before turning to carnivore.
Carbs = insulin= serotonin = good sleep. Carbs plus 1000 mg of tryptophan is even better.
Hi Rebekah! About how long would you guess a person might need the butter/fat prior to bed before improvement might be seen? It's been years since I have slept without a 2 AM- 4 AM awakening. Id be thrilled to see it vanish!
Just right before, maybe 30 minutes max 💙
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 I've been doing this for several days, but haven't really had relief from insomnia or early morning (2-4 AM) awakenings. Do I just need to give myself more time?
Would the carbohydrate in dairy work as well? For example a glass of warm milk before bed?
Yes
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 thanks! How do I message you privately about health and carnivore? I am a nursing mom too and also near underweight… wanting to continue with carnivore lifestyle but all the information I find is about losing weight?
I have this problem and one day I accidentally had a bit too much carbs like 30 g and I slept like a baby the only problem was that the next morning my ketones were 0.3. I could try with less carbs like you said 15g but if my ketones lower is it a problem?
Depends on your goals! I would monitor to see how quickly you get back into full fat burning. Also a breath meter may be a better way to measure!
Do you have suggestions for those getting nightmares/vivid dreams on carnivore?
Nightmares are actually very healthy. We would go insane without dreams including nightmares.( This doesn't necessarily mean all nightmares are good. I believe that some can be demonic). That's how we process. If they are on going to no end, I would consider therapy or counselling to confront unresolved issues.
I am now on carnivore for 4 weeks and also awake at 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock in the morning. Will a few tablespoons of joghurt mixed with few berries be a good idea?
That sounds great! Would do it after dinner.
Megadosing thiamine (fat soluble forms) helps.
How much to take?
@@MEF7 you’re supposed to work your way up to 1000-2000mgs daily. I took the 2000 mg because of how deficient I was
@@BubbleBuster Thanks! Can you recommend one, also when do you take it?
@@MEF7 you take it with a fatty meal. I take both benfomax and Allithiamine. I take it with breakfast
@@BubbleBuster Thanks
What abt raw milk b4 bed instead of berries? Wud that work?
Yep!
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 thank u
@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 can u still get fat adapted drinking raw milk or eating berries within reason of course?
Rebekah! Current ketovore here. Seen some content over the years of yours its been very uplifting and inspiring. Going full carnivore for 90 day trial over here in the next couple of days. I am,
you know, all alone doing this and also live in NC what area do you live in? Can I stalk you?I'm kidding😂 Are you doing any retreats anytime soon? And you know, just meeting up for a meal with you and your husband would you awesome. Tired of being lone wolf in so many of my pursuits 😅. I am a pro musician so you all could come out and throw meat patties at me during the gig. How rude! 😂
Please shoot me an email so that I can notify you when we host a retreat! 🙌
