I’m 78 and have been carnivore for 5 years. I have no gut problems. On the contrary,I had indigestion and gurd all my adult life until going carnivore.🙏
@@jsnell126 May i give you a tip= Granted it's for the keto but it will probably help on the carnivore as well. Start out with an intermitten fasting. Start out with eating anything you want as long as you only do it for 8 hours. When you have gotten used to that throw in a combined keto/16/8 fasting. When you're used to that, throw in the carnivore still combined with a 16/8 fasting. It really helped me.
@@jsnell126Not the OP, but I can tell you my reflux went away within about a week after I stopped eating pasta, potatoes, rice, and bread, while increasing intake of meat, eggs, and butter. That was about 2 years ago.
@@Sakthi-yl9ld - Either works. Many recommend starting the carnivore diet by eating freely and allowing oneself to follow satiation in order to undo years or decades of malnutrition. For many, trying OMAD is something to experiment with after one has regained metabolic health to a significant degree. It's likely that over time you'll naturally find yourself hungry all the time and so without effort drawn to eating fewer meals.
Its because your intestines / colon mucosa cells completely change every 4-6 days. So everything iritating your mucosa eliminated by red meat and fast healing of this mucosa and here you go.
We evolved eating red meat because we followed the herds throughout the year. Eggs were then a seasonal treat for those that had access to mostly shore birds where eggs were abundant. Red meat is necessary for maintaining a healthy body, mind and spirit and eggs can be a substantial part of that.
it makes sense, but funny enough i do not recall any evidence of humans eating eggs specifically in ancient times. but guess eggs were rare in the frozen parts of the world we found decent preserved human remains.
How about year 1 AD ? Many people in hot dry climates and no herd animals. Many people were living here in South America in jungle areas. They were eating reptiles, birds, fish, and plants. Many people living on remote islands with no herd animals. Many lived on birds, seafood, fish, plants..... All depends on which book, which historical records, from which areas of the world and which anthropologist(s) did the investigation.
They were also hunting the animals that lived around there and even in the most arid places there were animals mammals of some kind birds of some kind so there was plenty of meter around and it didn’t have to be reptiles although they ate those
@@YeshuaKingMessiah no, it's not illogical in the least. humans are not born allergic to meat. they are born allergic to many other "foods," there are thousands of plant poisons humans cannot eat from birth. there is not single meat that humans cannot eat from birth. developing an allergy due to outside influences and claiming it is natural for humans, is like saying humans naturally limp, because someone broke their leg while skiing.
I hate when people pull the Lodestar tick out of their ass in conversation concerning allergies. It’s very rare and most get over it quickly. Tens of millions of people have plant allergies because they are defending themselves. Under normal circumstances, meat does not cause allergies period! End of discussion!
Many Lyme victims are no longer able to eat red meat It’s a permanent allergy I thought of it immediately when Berg said that. They’re not allergic to all meat, thank God, but def to red meat, which is the most nutritious meat. So y’all need to study up
I met and know a guy personally who contracted ALPHA-GAL. Changed his life and almost died from it. He explained to me how his wife many times had to run him to the hospital because of cross contamination of food he ate coming in contact with beef. This man was no liar, he in fact was a service man who was ex military and was doing a job fixing my water heater which was full of lime. He told me the hell that alpha gal has caused him, and I never forgot that to this day, it was the first time I ever heard of such a thing. So you can sit and criticize Dr westman, however realize that Dr. Berg failed to mention anything of the sort, when someone like me is a prime example of coming face to face with someone with the disease, and being able to vouch and praise Dr. Westman for speaking truth and bringing AWARENESS ok? No reason to sit and downplay it just because you don't think it's a big deal. Rare or not, it's possible and that's what matters, and allowing people to be aware maybe will help enforce those who wonder the woods to take precautions with ticks. Myself and my friends have been covered and picked many ticks off each other's backs, so there's definitely a need to mention this information considering meat IS a health food.
Dr Berg said that "during his 30 years of pratice he NEVER MET a patient who was allergic to red meat." He did not say that no one is allergic to red meat.
not sure where he practiced medicine but i know you can get red meat allergy from of a lone star tick bite but its kinda rare, must be hell though unless your a vegan already lol.
I'm not a carnivore, I'm on a ketogenic diet. I can say when I eat more meat than veggies, I feel better. My stomach, my joints, etc all feel better. Dr. Westman is not being completely truthful. He is citing a rare meat allergy which is extremely rare. Compared to all other foods Berg is right.
@@Delta-V1 No, beef liver is different, especially when it comes to how nutrient dense it is. It's too nutrient dense to be eating large amounts every day. Muscle meat is nutrient dense but it's safe to eat large amounts every day. I eat around a a pound of beef every day and feel great.
If one likes liver it is a good way to get compact nutrients into the human body at least once a week for a few months. Low numbers of MACROS in the blood usually means the body has become efficient in its uptake to tissues and other processes in the body. Each one of our nutrients has multi use for multi functions in the body.
I'm with you, keto year and half and was eating some carnivore meals because I was too lazy to fix the veg, and noticed the difference. Especially in my gut, I had no idea I had gut issues with veggies until I didn't. I was also unaware I was somewhat lactose intolerant until a few days I noticed it was the only thing I was eating not meat but still getting some indigestion. I dumped all veggies and trying to get rid of things like stevia, coffee, the tough stuff. But I'm pretty good where I'm at and loving life!
Being a carnivore, I do love eating both red meat (steaks and beef patties) and eggs. My body definitely feels more satiated after eating red meat compared to eggs. Also, when it comes to beef patties and steaks, my body feels the most satiated after a steak compared to beef patties. ❤
I'm 60 and started Keto 9 months ago. I began with steak, eggs and some fruit. Next I cut out the fruit and now I'm eating only beef with small amouts of fruit. This year for the first time I haven't had seasonal allergies since I was 45 years old. My chronic fatique is gone, and my arthritic joint pains are significantly down.
Dr Berg is not my favourite by any means but I think the point he was making was that there were no allergies from the meat like you get from peanuts getting this allergy was caused by the tick and not really from the meat as it's not the cause. it's like you'll only get shingles if you've had had chicken pox, you wouldn't get an allergic reaction without that tick.
Shingles will sit dormant in your body and if you start smashing peanuts shingles will show its ugly head because of the high levels of arginine in peanuts
@@shangstr agreed 2 however my point is you don't get shingles without chicken pox weather it lies dormant is beside the point chicken pox caused shingles shingles doesn't come by itself so just as the tick caused the allergic reaction it's not a natural one this is unlike peanuts in this instance the body's immune system itself reacts to the arginine in peanuts without external factors
I have wondered about mixing 2 sources together. I don't think eggs and meat together is a problem i think a hunter could find both them sources in one hunt. Personally i hate egg whites but i love yokes on beef But mixing beef with like bacon or even other meats im not sure its something it should be done. Is why I generally stick with beef only and the occasional lamb on its own.
@@shangstr I used to be careful to cook beef _only_ in tallow and to cook pork _only_ in lard or bacon grease. I cooked fish _only_ in butter, though that one seemed odd. But I decided it was too much bother to buy lard, so I use tallow (or bacon grease if I have it) for almost everything.
Believe me or don't, but I've been on Carnivore for the past 7 months and I can't tell you how amazing my body and mind have become. I was only going to complete a 30 day challenge and by day 12, the benefits out weighed everything so I kept going - and will keep going for the foreseeable future. Good vid Doc 👍
Have you had any bloodwork (lipid panel, etc) to see where your levels are at? I am nervous to go carnivore bc I don't want to have any cardiac issues down the line. With many people there seems to be a trade-off, is it worth it..?
I am 3 weeks in and already noticing a difference. The pain level has gone down, I am sleeping better and I have a greater feeling of well being. Sleeping is not perfect, but some improvement makes a heck of a lot of difference to my life. No pain is the goal, but less pain is definitely very welcome. I have also dropped about 3 pounds but that is not top of my priority list as I am in my normal weight range. I find it quite astounding that in a few short weeks so much healing can occur. Can’t wait to see how I am feeling 12 months from now!
Red meat rarely causes a reaction, unless it's spoiled. But even then, humans are highly adept at eating slightly rotten meat. After all, we evolved as scavengers with acidic digestive systems. That also helps us to kill off parasites in food.
There isn't anything wrong with crickets. Many hunter-gatherers and other traditional societies regularly eat insects and grubs. But there is no population that won't preferrably eat meat when it's available. And certainly, either meat or insects are healthier than agricultural foods.
@@MarmaladeINFPonly if your out of option to survive. To make a mainstay of your diet would be a big mistake. Never mind the Chitins present in a bug based diet. Make Bill Gates consume them, in quantity, for 10 years and then get back to us.
I was bitten by a tick in Michigan. But because we caught it early(I was two weeks in the woods camping) and the dr put me on antibiotics she said it would maybe take 3 to 6 months to start to feel better. Worst 6 months of my life! But I was on the keto diet and I think that also helped with my healing. Took me about 6/9 months to start to feel better/normal again. But it’s a bacteria so it’s in my body and who knows if it will ever flare up again. I never had any problems with red meat! 🤷🏽♀️😳🥴
I never had GI issues until I went carnivore. Months of gut wrenching pain. I’ve changed up my macros, changed my portion size, changed when I ate, took bile salts (which makes it worse because ox bowl salts cause diarrhea by putting more water into your system). I did everything to get rid of GI issues that started when I went carnivore but almost 6 months later, I still have days when I’m curled up in a ball in pain. When that happens, I can only drink broth for a couple days before I can eat again. I’m glad people with gut issues heal in carnivore but some of us have gut issues that get triggered in carnivore. It doesn’t always have a magical affect on everyone. I’m still carnivore - mostly beef, butter, eggs. Can’t have pork because of the histamines and the fact it can turn into linoleic acid depending on what the pig was fed.
well lyme is also caused by a tick but an other tick. they talking about alpha-gal i think but guess you could get bitten by both and get both diseases at once. it is an allergy the same way others are an immune disorder. but i agree its different in the sense its injected rather then using proper channels.
@@subspace666Allergies can have differen't channels, likely not proper to call any of them proper. You could perhaps have it genetic, autoimmune that lower tolerance, overexposed to something or have something happen like that tick, that cause something that lowers the tolerance for something else. The consequence for all origin is still the allergic reaction.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 by proper i mean the reaction is caused by an allergen going in where things are meant to go in , like mouth nose etc. but the meat allergy from those tics are rare and it was injected. an improper channel is when your defenses are bypassed , tics bee's snakes etc. in no way did i meant proper in the sense good lol.
@@rail7646 he does like plants 😂 I don't think he is shady at all. I find him smart and a constant learner/researcher. He convinced me to give keto a try.
Fatty red meat, organic eggs and salmon is all for me. Works perfectly. The only "junk" I take from time to time are full fat milk, full fat plain yoghurt and full fat sour milk.
Do I think red meat heals everything? No. But the anti-inflammatory effects have stopped my many severe chronic pain issues in their tracks including: fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, osteoarthritis, severe spinal stenosis, chronic paroxysmal hemicrani, and trigeminal neuralgia.
I lift weights 5 days a week and recently started eating steak much more. I feel like my muscle recovery has gotten better, I feel a little stronger and better overall
The Lodestar tick argument I'm not sure why it's being brought up, because that's still not technically an allergy to red meat. Having that condition is totally different
Doc, Please debunk the influencers who push their fake "keto" diets and say that ketosis is not a goal of their keto diets! These influencers need to be debunked. Please teach them that if they are not in ketosis, then it's just a "low carb" diet. Low carb diets are fine, but please learn your vocabulary and stop calling "low carb" diets "keto".
Dr. Westman could not in good conscience fail to mention the allergy. He does, however, in good faith preface that by noting Dr. Berg moved from practice to being an influencer and so has good reason to have not encountered this allergy.
@@Santa-ny1yp a chiropractor who would study nutrition, which is something most medical doctors don’t that’s why he would ask a question like that. A better question is why would a medical doctor dare to give you nutritional advice when he probably had one course in one semester in medical school? one !!!!
I have my own pasture/ compost pile raised chickens and i eat 5 to 6 eggs a day with 3 slices of bacon. Dinner is thin sliced ribeye, or salmon, or fresh caught fish that i caught, some dark meat chicken and Lamb! But, I believe in a cheat day every so often to remind myself how crappy eating cheat meals makes me feel, which keeps me happy eating carnivore. Never liked veggies but i do miss bread and pasta sometimes. And i will always miss Haribo Gold Bears! Always! 😂
Just ruminate meat is obviously the healthiest food. And that needs to be pushed out there so people can get back to being healthy. Once they stop eating the garbage of processed “foods”
More than 110,000 people in the U.S. tested positive for alpha-gal antibodies from 2010 to 2022, according to a July report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But researchers think there might be closer to half a million people living with the condition-and the number of cases is increasing. Scientific American.
@@Petunia-fl9luYeah, the milder winters the more ticks survive. In Sweden the northern limit for tics used to be in mid Sweden just some two or three decades ago. Now they are frequent so far north as in land areas bordering to Finland.
Dr. Westman! I have just two questions before I decide to start the Carnivore diet. 1) I have CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), and of course, it's all due to high blood pressure, and I'm needing to take both high blood pressure medicine (Hydrochlorothiazide, Losartan, Amlodipine), as-well-as Atorvastatin (for cholesterol), and even Metformin to help prevent Diabetes, along with a Men's Multi-Vitamin (Centrum - 1x a day). Is that detrimental to the Carnivore Diet? Or, can I still take them until I no longer need them at all, due to the benefits of the Diet? 2) I may have not enough research yet, as I am barely discovering the Carnivore Diet, but, how well does red meat need to be cooked? Well done, medium, medium rare? Bonus Question: Can eggs be scrambled, or do they have to be sunny-side up, over easy, or hard-boiled like most Carnivore videos I've seen? Thank you Doctor.
I highly doubt the doctor is going to answer your questions here. You should try to find a doctor or nutritionist who knows about keto and carnivore. You can cook eggs any way you like, scrambled, poached, Sunnyside up, over easy, an omelet, hard cooked.
Can I just take a moment to express my endless gratitude to people like you? And especially you in particular because you really made me have trust in this diet. I have been struggling with my stomach/digestion for 20 years. Up to the point where I even started thinking about ending it all more and more. The last 3 months I have only been able to do a number 2 with help of laxatives. This Carnivore diet was my last hope. Now 9 days in and it has already made a world of difference. This morning, for the 3rd morning in a row, a cup of coffee and a cigarette and straight to the toilet. 😁😂 Just like in the olden days. And I am SO FREAKING HAPPY AND RELIEVED !! I can't even find the words. I hope this continues this way but I have 100% trust now. You guys saved my life. You literally saved a life. And I have 2 small children as well. You saved their happiness as well. You're a hero sir 😎
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment,❤❤ if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
No. Because its not the meat that caused it. Its just contaminated. Just like spinach with ecoli. Its the contamination, not the spinach itself. Dr Westman is stupid on this one. He's nitpicking.
It's an induced allergy. All allergies are just your body overreacting to a stimulus it doesn't like. Whatever the tick introduces, your body sees as a threat.
@@Santa-ny1yp Yes, thank you, but I was talking about the actual meat itself. So it’s really not due to the meat then. Which means there are no real examples of red meat as the true source of an allergy.
When I eat meat, the feces gather and come out in a single block. This forces the exit and comes out with blood. I eat more fat than meat. it comes out easily but it's too thick. Did you have this problem? How did you solve it? I think I have to reintroduce the vegetables if they don't solve it.
You should look up Dr.ken Berry, and Anthony Chaffee. They both totally support that read meat is the very best diet to heal all issues. The Carnivore diet is better than all other diets for healing the body.
I feel better when I have adequate protein from meat or other sources. I have been eating less vegetables, but work to get sufficient fiber. Feeling good with this regime, but everyone is different.
I live in the forest. And every somer all my life i had ticks. Minimum 5 per year. Now i am carnivor for 3 years and i had 0 ticks in 3 years. Mi wife and child are not carnivores and thay get them as usual. Interesting circle isent it?
Another though on this subject. A person can eat an all meat diet and get enough nutrition. However, I'm not sure if a person can get all necessary nutrients from eggs. I understand eggs are nutritious, however beef has the highest overall nutrition.
i was 450 lbs at age 50 yrs old i am 63yrs old now i am 220 lbs i eat one meal a day i did not do by pass surgery i try to eat only grass fed beef or chicken i have 30 grams protein drink i do supplement's as i have dialysis which cleans the Blood but also cleans out Nutrient's in your Body you can loose fat if you do this But Req strong Discipline also my c1c was 5.0 this will help you with diabetic condition
Nothing wrong with natural carbs like potatoes in moderation. In fact, depending on your lifestyle, if you are an athlete for example, carbs really are necessary.
Absolutely. This is very, very simple - there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Period. Eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, this isn't a cult. But there is only one actual perfect human diet. Just research this and accept it. Then do whatever you want.
I don’t have major health concerns that I know of but I have noticed my metabolism slowing down. I have skin issues and allergies. Could the Meat diet benefit me in my situation?
I started it at 54. And it has improved my work out and I lost fat around my middle. Short answer, it probably would help you. The weight was the minor improvement by comparison to everything else that improved.
Hot take: if it's okay to eat a BBBE diet, then it's also okay to eat fresh, uncured pork. I have in the recent past had an inflammatory reaction to purchased ham, corned beef, turkey, and mass produced eggs. Solution: I make my own corned beef and cured, smoked pork, gave up turkey, and buy only pastured eggs, of which I am able to eat unlimited quantities. My guess is that it's something I was sensitive to that was in the feed of the animals that were processed into those products. I am sensitive to grains and beans, so possibly that was it. In any case, I don't eat things that are clearly, reproducibly hurting me. No one should. I was aware that as people age, they may produce less stomach acid. I had the feeling this was an issue for me, as I often would lay awake and cough at night or snore, which were probably a result of heartburn. I had the feeling that food was sitting in my stomach for extended periods of time without digesting. However, before I ever got around to buying a HCl supplement, I gave up grains and beans completely and haven't had an issue since.
@@KenJackson_US I live in the Uk. We have our meat delivered from a farm where animals are grass fed but for some reason I prefer lamb that we buy from our local supermarket.

Doc I normally agree with most what you say but you never straw-man someone. He simply said he hasn’t met someone with meat allergies not you can’t get it from a tick. Then you yourself said you haven’t met some one, also.
Don't be as dumph as Berg. If you met doc who said a benefit of the ulna was that he'd never met someone with a broken arm, you'd think he was a quack. Berg was quacking.
Betaine hydrochloride is quite helpful, especially when you're trying to digest dense protein like beef. Maybe you WILL adjust eventually, but why suffer in the meantime if you don't have to! It's natural! It works! I feel MUCH better when I take it with a heavy protein meal!❤
Red meat does have unique nutrients like carnitine and carnosine. So, potentially, red meat has special qualities for healing, depending one's health condition.
Red meat, in the form of steak gave my MIL migraines and I have a friend that gets stomach pain when ingesting meat fat, so I know of two people that have a problem with either meat or red meat (steak).
Thanks for your efforts here. I have too much trouble watching Berg so I had to bow out of this one. Thanks for suffering through watching his video and your analysis.
There may be a "significant difference" between red meat and eggs, but having a 12oz T-Bone with my 6 eggs, washed down with a glass of fresh, raw milk from our Jersey cow, seems to make up for the difference.
My impression is the main difference between Dr. Westman and Dr. Berg is Dr Berg is a research doctor with, what appears to be, an insatiable appetite to dig deep into the nuances and details of food, vitamins and minerals and how they impact the body while Dr Westman is a practicing clinical doctor with a high appreciation for the need of clinical trails to prove the. Claims of researchers. I watch Dr. Westman as a balance to Dr. Berg and other doctors on UA-cam.
Dr. Westman, your calm and reasonable approach is great and appreciated. However, there have been people on Carnavore, or heavy eaters of red meat that have come down with Cancer. Red meat is fine, but there are confounding factors that could put a red meat consumer in harm's way. This can include (1) you don't exercise. (2) you smoke. (3 you drink large amounts of alcohol. (4) You are consuming Poly-unsaturated unstable "vegetable" (seed oils) in plastic bottles. There are more but you get the idea. A lot of folks, and some Physicians are not aware of the Glycocalyx, which is a "jungle" of fine strands that cover the linings of your arteries. It is so fine that you need an electron microscope to see them. All multi-gastric animals (cows, sheep, goats) produce a sugar called Neu5gc. Human beings are the ONLY mammals that do not produce Neu5gc. When eaten, your body produces antibodies against it. The normal human glycocalyx is made up of Neu5Ac. The more you eat red meat, the more "GC" you eat, the more your protective "AC" disappears. All arterial plaque contain Neu5gc. The NIH (National Institute of Health) has articles about it. Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Found My Health) and Dr. Gundry also have excellent articles on this also. The way around it is to eat wild-caught seafood, eggs, and chicken which has no Neu5Gc. These have the Neu5Ac that is normal to the Human Body. and causes no inflammation.
It makes no sense to blame cancer on red meat consumption. Cancer thrives on sugar. It develops over time from diet and lifestyle factors. My mother couldn’t eat much meat because of an inability to digest iron. She ate way too many carbs, hated fish, and baked a lot. Her health was also undermined by her lifelong insomnia. She died of pancreatic cancer.
Love Dr W but think he's totally misjudged the point here! Dr B is not suggesting to just eat red meat. He's just doing a comparison and red meat trumps eggs on more nutrients than the other way around. This is just a video to show just how good red meat is for us. You'd have real trouble trying to live off of just eggs! I'd have to eat 33 eggs a day just to get the protein! I can get this in just 2lb of beef! And the tick's causing the meat allergy is just not relevant! It's like saying being averse to water after being bitten by a rabid dog is is the same as aquaphobia! It is an acquired disease! Dr B is absolutely spot on with his video again.
You probably didn't watch the whole video and missed tha part where Dr Westman said that it is a great video. He did not review that video to be negative.
Many allergies are caused by exposure to environmental factors (or not be exposed sometimes). Dr. Westman brought it up because Berg was wrong to imply there are no allergies to meat. And because he knows more useful things than Berg.
actually--its a very old diet....and if you listen to DR Seyfried...he will talk about cancer and Otto warburg..What is the Warburg cure for cancer? Due to the Warburg effect, glucose in dietary carbohydrates acts as a primary metabolic fuel for many tumors. This observation prompted early research into KD as a cancer treatment, and carbohydrate restriction-induced glucose deprivation was thought to be the main mechanism by which KD slows tumor progression.Aug 4, 2020
I have been on ketovore for over a year, and I gravitate to beef all the time. Eggs do nothing for me and I rarely eat them. I eat beef nearly 2 times a day 7 days a week and feeling great and satisfied.
The more I learn about Statins, the more I know to never take them. Eggs and Beef for the win! I usually eat eggs for breakfast and beef for lunch/dinner. Its like the inflammation melts away with this way of eating.
I mentioned in your previous video that my dad has Alpha-Gal. The sad part is that even smelling mammalian meat cooking can cause him to go Into anaphylactic shock. He can’t even use toothpaste if it has carrageenan in it. It’s truly awful for him to have this at age 82- and we are cattle farmers. 😢 I have to be very careful handling his food and making anything for him.
There is an instance of a man on an international flight requiring two epi pens to treat anaphylactic shock, turned out it was because he had a Mentos mint which had bovine gelatin in it. He knew he had mammalian meat allergy, but was't expecting to react to a mint!
Eat steak and eggs! You don't have to choose one over the other. As for the stomach acid problem... I think it is more of a gall bladder issue, where the gall bladder is sludged up, or has stones, due to eating high carb, low fat.
Dr.s have a way to overcome Peanut Allergies called Oral Immuno Therapy. (OIT).same idea as shots...but different. I will bet that OIT could be done for red meat too.
I tried carnivore for a month. I have psoriasis and the redness increased and new red spots appeared. Any suggestions. I enjoy meat very much but am nervous about continuing.
Thank you for your reply. So the psoriasis is spreading and even acne I have not gotten for a long time. And I am healing? Don’t mean to seem doubtful but it is a bit nerve racking.
Can u water fast? Even just 24 hrs might give some relief. Eat ruminant meat & fat and then go back for another 24 hr. Work up to 48 hrs. Fasting can be very symptom relieving. Fasting 48 hrs weekly can be done if u have wgt to lose, if underweight don’t do more than monthly.
the thick that causes the allergy was engineered to be more effective and spread (specifically in ranches) by the people who wants us sick, hence why the surge of more cases in the past few decades the good news is that you can still eat non mammal animals until the allergy goes away after a year
I have a grandson who has had a beef/alpha-gal allergy since birth. How can that be explained? He is 3 years old now. Is this something that can be outgrown?
Red meat is indeed very healthy. Steak and eggs every day, never felt better :)
Yeah it's the best but frying some ground beef and throwing couple eggs in there at the end of cooking also works nicely. 🙂

Many people living on remote islands with no herd animals. Many lived on birds, seafood, fish, plants..... All depends on which book, which historical records, from which areas of the world and which anthropologist(s) did the investigation.
They were also hunting the animals that lived around there and even in the most arid places there were animals mammals of some kind birds of some kind so there was plenty of meter around and it didn’t have to be reptiles although they ate those

becoming allergic to red meat because of a tick bite, has nothing to do with being allergic to red meat. that is an outside induced allergic reaction.
Allergic to strawberries
But it’s not fault of the strwbs so it’s not an allergy
Allergic to bee stings but…
Illogical
@@YeshuaKingMessiah
no, it's not illogical in the least.
humans are not born allergic to meat.
they are born allergic to many other "foods,"
there are thousands of plant poisons humans
cannot eat from birth.
there is not single meat that humans cannot eat from birth.
developing an allergy due to outside influences and claiming it is natural for humans,
is like saying humans naturally limp, because someone broke their leg while skiing.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Your comment made you look foolish. What grayman7208 said makes perfect logical sense.
An allergic reaction is an allergic reaction. This one is mediated by red meat. It is an acquired allergy to red meat.
@@oliphauntsneverlie6227 - Allergy to a strawbery or bee sting is caused by the strawberry or the bee, not by a pathogen.
I hate when people pull the Lodestar tick out of their ass in conversation concerning allergies. It’s very rare and most get over it quickly. Tens of millions of people have plant allergies because they are defending themselves. Under normal circumstances, meat does not cause allergies period! End of discussion!
Many Lyme victims are no longer able to eat red meat
It’s a permanent allergy
I thought of it immediately when Berg said that. They’re not allergic to all meat, thank God, but def to red meat, which is the most nutritious meat.
So y’all need to study up
It might be rare, however if u get into an anaphylactic shock U will see the odds as totally different. Just saying 😅@user-xl1ou3kf7f
I met and know a guy personally who contracted ALPHA-GAL. Changed his life and almost died from it. He explained to me how his wife many times had to run him to the hospital because of cross contamination of food he ate coming in contact with beef. This man was no liar, he in fact was a service man who was ex military and was doing a job fixing my water heater which was full of lime. He told me the hell that alpha gal has caused him, and I never forgot that to this day, it was the first time I ever heard of such a thing.
So you can sit and criticize Dr westman, however realize that Dr. Berg failed to mention anything of the sort, when someone like me is a prime example of coming face to face with someone with the disease, and being able to vouch and praise Dr. Westman for speaking truth and bringing AWARENESS ok?
No reason to sit and downplay it just because you don't think it's a big deal.
Rare or not, it's possible and that's what matters, and allowing people to be aware maybe will help enforce those who wonder the woods to take precautions with ticks. Myself and my friends have been covered and picked many ticks off each other's backs, so there's definitely a need to mention this information considering meat IS a health food.
Agreed.
Worse, proof is wanting
Dr Berg said that "during his 30 years of pratice he NEVER MET a patient who was allergic to red meat." He did not say that no one is allergic to red meat.
not sure where he practiced medicine but i know you can get red meat allergy from of a lone star tick bite but its kinda rare, must be hell though unless your a vegan already lol.
@@subspace666 Dr. Berg is a Chiropractor, NOT a Medical Dr.!!!
A Tick Bite can cause an Allergy to Red Meat
@@MillieSoto-b8m ah ok. guess the quote is still somewhat valid since the allergy is caused by a parasite and not born with it and it is still rare.

I'm not a carnivore, I'm on a ketogenic diet. I can say when I eat more meat than veggies, I feel better. My stomach, my joints, etc all feel better.
Dr. Westman is not being completely truthful. He is citing a rare meat allergy which is extremely rare. Compared to all other foods Berg is right.
is eating beef liver is like eating beef meat?
@@Delta-V1 No, beef liver is different, especially when it comes to how nutrient dense it is. It's too nutrient dense to be eating large amounts every day. Muscle meat is nutrient dense but it's safe to eat large amounts every day. I eat around a a pound of beef every day and feel great.
If one likes liver it is a good way to get compact nutrients into the human body at least once a week for a few months. Low numbers of MACROS in the blood usually means the body has become efficient in its uptake to tissues and other processes in the body. Each one of our nutrients has multi use for multi functions in the body.
If you already eat mostly red meat where high impact nutrition already improved health and continues to improve health.
I'm with you, keto year and half and was eating some carnivore meals because I was too lazy to fix the veg, and noticed the difference. Especially in my gut, I had no idea I had gut issues with veggies until I didn't. I was also unaware I was somewhat lactose intolerant until a few days I noticed it was the only thing I was eating not meat but still getting some indigestion.
I dumped all veggies and trying to get rid of things like stevia, coffee, the tough stuff. But I'm pretty good where I'm at and loving life!
Steak, eggs, and sardines. Sounds perfect.
Steak and eggs 😉
Sardines, especially brisling sardines, are phenomenal sources of Omega 3 and selenium
Watch out for histamines
@@James-qz5ny the egg whites?
Being a carnivore, I do love eating both red meat (steaks and beef patties) and eggs. My body definitely feels more satiated after eating red meat compared to eggs. Also, when it comes to beef patties and steaks, my body feels the most satiated after a steak compared to beef patties. ❤
Fatty beef brisket is thee best! This and ribeyes my body just loves!!!!
I'm 60 and started Keto 9 months ago. I began with steak, eggs and some fruit. Next I cut out the fruit and now I'm eating only beef with small amouts of fruit.
This year for the first time I haven't had seasonal allergies since I was 45 years old.
My chronic fatique is gone, and my arthritic joint pains are significantly down.
I'm curious as to where in history tribes had access to that much meat, it seems like a bad plan
Dr Berg is not my favourite by any means but I think the point he was making was that there were no allergies from the meat like you get from peanuts getting this allergy was caused by the tick and not really from the meat as it's not the cause. it's like you'll only get shingles if you've had had chicken pox, you wouldn't get an allergic reaction without that tick.
Shingles will sit dormant in your body and if you start smashing peanuts shingles will show its ugly head because of the high levels of arginine in peanuts
Agreed.
@@shangstr agreed 2 however my point is you don't get shingles without chicken pox weather it lies dormant is beside the point chicken pox caused shingles shingles doesn't come by itself so just as the tick caused the allergic reaction it's not a natural one this is unlike peanuts in this instance the body's immune system itself reacts to the arginine in peanuts without external factors
I think Dr Berg gives excellent information...💚
I solved for x. I just eat my eggs and red meat together.
I have wondered about mixing 2 sources together. I don't think eggs and meat together is a problem i think a hunter could find both them sources in one hunt. Personally i hate egg whites but i love yokes on beef
But mixing beef with like bacon or even other meats im not sure its something it should be done. Is why I generally stick with beef only and the occasional lamb on its own.
@@shangstr I used to be careful to cook beef _only_ in tallow and to cook pork _only_ in lard or bacon grease. I cooked fish _only_ in butter, though that one seemed odd. But I decided it was too much bother to buy lard, so I use tallow (or bacon grease if I have it) for almost everything.
Believe me or don't, but I've been on Carnivore for the past 7 months and I can't tell you how amazing my body and mind have become. I was only going to complete a 30 day challenge and by day 12, the benefits out weighed everything so I kept going - and will keep going for the foreseeable future. Good vid Doc 👍
CARN4LIFE

I am 3 weeks in and already noticing a difference. The pain level has gone down, I am sleeping better and I have a greater feeling of well being.
Sleeping is not perfect, but some improvement makes a heck of a lot of difference to my life.
No pain is the goal, but less pain is definitely very welcome.
I have also dropped about 3 pounds but that is not top of my priority list as I am in my normal weight range.
I find it quite astounding that in a few short weeks so much healing can occur. Can’t wait to see how I am feeling 12 months from now!
Ok, but all food could be infected in such a way that could cause a reaction, but on the whole red meat is generally non inflammatory.
Red meat rarely causes a reaction, unless it's spoiled. But even then, humans are highly adept at eating slightly rotten meat. After all, we evolved as scavengers with acidic digestive systems. That also helps us to kill off parasites in food.
This video is a good example of how the average medical system thinks compared to those who seek to help people be the healthiest they can be.

I was bitten by a tick in Michigan. But because we caught it early(I was two weeks in the woods camping) and the dr put me on antibiotics she said it would maybe take 3 to 6 months to start to feel better. Worst 6 months of my life! But I was on the keto diet and I think that also helped with my healing. Took me about 6/9 months to start to feel better/normal again. But it’s a bacteria so it’s in my body and who knows if it will ever flare up again. I never had any problems with red meat! 🤷🏽♀️😳🥴
Red meat is really good for recovery. I work out for 2 hours a day since going strict carnivore.
I could look at weights and be sore. Now I have a hard time GETTING sore 🎉
🤣
I never had GI issues until I went carnivore. Months of gut wrenching pain. I’ve changed up my macros, changed my portion size, changed when I ate, took bile salts (which makes it worse because ox bowl salts cause diarrhea by putting more water into your system). I did everything to get rid of GI issues that started when I went carnivore but almost 6 months later, I still have days when I’m curled up in a ball in pain. When that happens, I can only drink broth for a couple days before I can eat again.
I’m glad people with gut issues heal in carnivore but some of us have gut issues that get triggered in carnivore. It doesn’t always have a magical affect on everyone. I’m still carnivore - mostly beef, butter, eggs. Can’t have pork because of the histamines and the fact it can turn into linoleic acid depending on what the pig was fed.
I dont include Lyme disease as a “meat allergy”, as its more of a result or reaction of said “lymes disease”.
well lyme is also caused by a tick but an other tick. they talking about alpha-gal i think but guess you could get bitten by both and get both diseases at once. it is an allergy the same way others are an immune disorder. but i agree its different in the sense its injected rather then using proper channels.
This has nothing to do with Lyme disease. The only common denominator is that it's transmitted by ticks.
@@subspace666Allergies can have differen't channels, likely not proper to call any of them proper. You could perhaps have it genetic, autoimmune that lower tolerance, overexposed to something or have something happen like that tick, that cause something that lowers the tolerance for something else. The consequence for all origin is still the allergic reaction.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 by proper i mean the reaction is caused by an allergen going in where things are meant to go in , like mouth nose etc. but the meat allergy from those tics are rare and it was injected. an improper channel is when your defenses are bypassed , tics bee's snakes etc. in no way did i meant proper in the sense good lol.
I know it is. Been doing carnivore for a year and we are healthier than we have ever been and our labs are better than ever.

Doc, Please debunk the influencers who push their fake "keto" diets and say that ketosis is not a goal of their keto diets! These influencers need to be debunked. Please teach them that if they are not in ketosis, then it's just a "low carb" diet. Low carb diets are fine, but please learn your vocabulary and stop calling "low carb" diets "keto".
Dr. Westman could not in good conscience fail to mention the allergy. He does, however, in good faith preface that by noting Dr. Berg moved from practice to being an influencer and so has good reason to have not encountered this allergy.

That tick must be the exception rather than the rule. Not so common. Thx Dr. Westman.

Dr. Westman! I have just two questions before I decide to start the Carnivore diet.
1) I have CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), and of course, it's all due to high blood pressure, and I'm needing to take both high blood pressure medicine (Hydrochlorothiazide, Losartan, Amlodipine), as-well-as Atorvastatin (for cholesterol), and even Metformin to help prevent Diabetes, along with a Men's Multi-Vitamin (Centrum - 1x a day). Is that detrimental to the Carnivore Diet? Or, can I still take them until I no longer need them at all, due to the benefits of the Diet?
2) I may have not enough research yet, as I am barely discovering the Carnivore Diet, but, how well does red meat need to be cooked? Well done, medium, medium rare?
Bonus Question:
Can eggs be scrambled, or do they have to be sunny-side up, over easy, or hard-boiled like most Carnivore videos I've seen?
Thank you Doctor.
I highly doubt the doctor is going to answer your questions here. You should try to find a doctor or nutritionist who knows about keto and carnivore. You can cook eggs any way you like, scrambled, poached, Sunnyside up, over easy, an omelet, hard cooked.
Eggs AND ruminant meat are both highly nutritious and should both be consumed daily, to the exclusion of most carbs-maybe 10-25g carbs a day
Can I just take a moment to express my endless gratitude to people like you? And especially you in particular because you really made me have trust in this diet. I have been struggling with my stomach/digestion for 20 years. Up to the point where I even started thinking about ending it all more and more. The last 3 months I have only been able to do a number 2 with help of laxatives. This Carnivore diet was my last hope. Now 9 days in and it has already made a world of difference. This morning, for the 3rd morning in a row, a cup of coffee and a cigarette and straight to the toilet. 😁😂 Just like in the olden days. And I am SO FREAKING HAPPY AND RELIEVED !! I can't even find the words. I hope this continues this way but I have 100% trust now. You guys saved my life. You literally saved a life. And I have 2 small children as well.

If it was downstream of a tick bite, do you think it's an actual allergy to the meat itself? Just asking. I think your videos are great Dr. Westman!
No. Because its not the meat that caused it. Its just contaminated.
Just like spinach with ecoli. Its the contamination, not the spinach itself.
Dr Westman is stupid on this one. He's nitpicking.
It's an induced allergy. All allergies are just your body overreacting to a stimulus it doesn't like. Whatever the tick introduces, your body sees as a threat.
@@Santa-ny1yp Yes, thank you, but I was talking about the actual meat itself. So it’s really not due to the meat then. Which means there are no real examples of red meat as the true source of an allergy.

Many allergies are caused by environmental exposure (or, sometimes, lack of exposure). And alpha-gal is defined as an allergy.

Hot take: if it's okay to eat a BBBE diet, then it's also okay to eat fresh, uncured pork.
I have in the recent past had an inflammatory reaction to purchased ham, corned beef, turkey, and mass produced eggs. Solution: I make my own corned beef and cured, smoked pork, gave up turkey, and buy only pastured eggs, of which I am able to eat unlimited quantities. My guess is that it's something I was sensitive to that was in the feed of the animals that were processed into those products. I am sensitive to grains and beans, so possibly that was it.
In any case, I don't eat things that are clearly, reproducibly hurting me. No one should.
I was aware that as people age, they may produce less stomach acid. I had the feeling this was an issue for me, as I often would lay awake and cough at night or snore, which were probably a result of heartburn.

However, before I ever got around to buying a HCl supplement, I gave up grains and beans completely and haven't had an issue since.

Red meat does have unique nutrients like carnitine and carnosine. So, potentially, red meat has special qualities for healing, depending one's health condition.

My impression is the main difference between Dr. Westman and Dr. Berg is Dr Berg is a research doctor with, what appears to be, an insatiable appetite to dig deep into the nuances and details of food, vitamins and minerals and how they impact the body while Dr Westman is a practicing clinical doctor with a high appreciation for the need of clinical trails to prove the. Claims of researchers. I watch Dr. Westman as a balance to Dr. Berg and other doctors on UA-cam.

Dr. Westman, your calm and reasonable approach is great and appreciated. However, there have been people on Carnavore, or heavy eaters of red meat that have come down with Cancer. Red meat is fine, but there are confounding factors that could put a red meat consumer in harm's way. This can include (1) you don't exercise. (2) you smoke. (3 you drink large amounts of alcohol. (4) You are consuming Poly-unsaturated unstable "vegetable" (seed oils) in plastic bottles. There are more but you get the idea.
A lot of folks, and some Physicians are not aware of the Glycocalyx, which is a "jungle" of fine strands that cover the linings of your arteries. It is so fine that you need an electron microscope to see them. All multi-gastric animals (cows, sheep, goats) produce a sugar called Neu5gc. Human beings are the ONLY mammals that do not produce Neu5gc. When eaten, your body produces antibodies against it. The normal human glycocalyx is made up of Neu5Ac. The more you eat red meat, the more "GC" you eat, the more your protective "AC" disappears. All arterial plaque contain Neu5gc. The NIH (National Institute of Health) has articles about it. Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Found My Health) and Dr. Gundry also have excellent articles on this also.
The way around it is to eat wild-caught seafood, eggs, and chicken which has no Neu5Gc. These have the Neu5Ac that is normal to the Human Body. and causes no inflammation.
It makes no sense to blame cancer on red meat consumption. Cancer thrives on sugar. It develops over time from diet and lifestyle factors. My mother couldn’t eat much meat because of an inability to digest iron. She ate way too many carbs, hated fish, and baked a lot. Her health was also undermined by her lifelong insomnia. She died of pancreatic cancer.
Love Dr W but think he's totally misjudged the point here! Dr B is not suggesting to just eat red meat. He's just doing a comparison and red meat trumps eggs on more nutrients than the other way around. This is just a video to show just how good red meat is for us. You'd have real trouble trying to live off of just eggs! I'd have to eat 33 eggs a day just to get the protein! I can get this in just 2lb of beef! And the tick's causing the meat allergy is just not relevant! It's like saying being averse to water after being bitten by a rabid dog is is the same as aquaphobia! It is an acquired disease! Dr B is absolutely spot on with his video again.
You probably didn't watch the whole video and missed tha part where Dr Westman said that it is a great video. He did not review that video to be negative.
Many allergies are caused by exposure to environmental factors (or not be exposed sometimes). Dr. Westman brought it up because Berg was wrong to imply there are no allergies to meat. And because he knows more useful things than Berg.
I can't figure out HOW to send a video to you. Where do we SEND it?
Steak and eggs
Dr. Berg was one of the pioneers years ago in favor of the Keto Diet, studied nutrition and is well versed.
actually--its a very old diet....and if you listen to DR Seyfried...he will talk about cancer and Otto warburg..What is the Warburg cure for cancer?
Due to the Warburg effect, glucose in dietary carbohydrates acts as a primary metabolic fuel for many tumors. This observation prompted early research into KD as a cancer treatment, and carbohydrate restriction-induced glucose deprivation was thought to be the main mechanism by which KD slows tumor progression.Aug 4, 2020
I have been on ketovore for over a year, and I gravitate to beef all the time. Eggs do nothing for me and I rarely eat them. I eat beef nearly 2 times a day 7 days a week and feeling great and satisfied.
The more I learn about Statins, the more I know to never take them. Eggs and Beef for the win! I usually eat eggs for breakfast and beef for lunch/dinner. Its like the inflammation melts away with this way of eating.
I mentioned in your previous video that my dad has Alpha-Gal. The sad part is that even smelling mammalian meat cooking can cause him to go
Into anaphylactic shock. He can’t even use toothpaste if it has carrageenan in it. It’s truly awful for him to have this at age 82- and we are cattle farmers. 😢 I have to be very careful handling his food and making anything for him.
There is an instance of a man on an international flight requiring two epi pens to treat anaphylactic shock, turned out it was because he had a Mentos mint which had bovine gelatin in it. He knew he had mammalian meat allergy, but was't expecting to react to a mint!
Does lansoprazole taken for long standing GERD affect my overall digestion?
I am very much in favor of buying raw natural red meat to cook for my meals. I am against processed meat.
Eat steak and eggs!
You don't have to choose one over the other.
As for the stomach acid problem... I think it is more of a gall bladder issue, where the gall bladder is sludged up, or has stones, due to eating high carb, low fat.
Dr.s have a way to overcome Peanut Allergies called Oral Immuno Therapy. (OIT).same idea as shots...but different. I will bet that OIT could be done for red meat too.
I tried carnivore for a month. I have psoriasis and the redness increased and new red spots appeared. Any suggestions. I enjoy meat very much but am nervous about continuing.
Keep going
U were healing
Eat only beef lamb and maybe eggs
Nothing else but meat fat
Thank you for your reply. So the psoriasis is spreading and even acne I have not gotten for a long time. And I am healing? Don’t mean to seem doubtful but it is a bit nerve racking.
@@PianoturtleX I can totally understand
What did u eat beforehand? Vegan? SAD? Paleo?
Can u water fast? Even just 24 hrs might give some relief. Eat ruminant meat & fat and then go back for another 24 hr. Work up to 48 hrs.
Fasting can be very symptom relieving.
Fasting 48 hrs weekly can be done if u have wgt to lose, if underweight don’t do more than monthly.
4 months in and I still have psoriasis but it's slowly receding, the body prioritizes what needs to heal first, trust your body to do that ,
Never know any body who’s allergic to red meat. But I become allergic to mussels since 5 years ago and I don’t know why.
I have a coworker with Alpha-gal syndrome and he usually develops anaphylaxis from it. He has an epipen but usually avoids meat unfortunately.
My family and I really appreciate you Dr Westman and also you have such a magnificent calm about you
the thick that causes the allergy was engineered to be more effective and spread (specifically in ranches) by the people who wants us sick, hence why the surge of more cases in the past few decades
the good news is that you can still eat non mammal animals until the allergy goes away after a year
I have a grandson who has had a beef/alpha-gal allergy since birth. How can that be explained? He is 3 years old now. Is this something that can be outgrown?
