I am 75 and been on BP meds 20 years. In July 2022 gave up all sugar, carbs, processed foods, and seed oils. In one month I was able to toss my BP meds! I also tossed the stupid statin that gives people insulin resistance!!! I am trying to reverse my insulin resistance now. I have lost 23 lbs in 5 months and weigh 119 at 5’ 5”. Wish I knew how HORRIBLE sugar is for us sooner in life. Take care of yourself kids. Beware of medical in this day and age. You are your own best advocate!!!
Fatty brisket is my favorite these days. If it is too fatty, I cut the excess off and save it to put in the air fryer and eat with eggs or whatever. Bonus is it is very reasonable to buy. I cut a big brisket into servings and freeze. Put it in the Instant pot with broth and then brown in the air fryer, LOVE IT!
I loved this interview. Dr. Madany is articulate, good natured and seems to genuinely love his calling to help people. I especially loved the nursing home story! If we could have health care professionals go into those facilities and offer hope to people just THROUGH THE FOOD THEY EAT, lives could be turned around! I felt like I could have listened for another couple of hours. Thanks for this great video.
Every day I become more aware of the benefits of the carnivore diet. Decades of eating this way and expecting the heart attack now over 50 looking like under 40 and feeling like 25, I am happy to see every experience you bring. Too bad I could never convince my health conscious parents to eat this way.
@@chargermopar by the way I realized you love ducks. I’m going back to New Zealand and I’m planning to start farming. I’m thinking of starting the farm with ducks. Any guides to get information to start this?
@@Damudean Try and look around the area you will be living in and see what species of duck is being raised. I like Muscovy ducks because they run wild here and are disease resistant. The more common Pekin duck is faster growing, and Campbell ducks are the ones who lay the most eggs. I prefer Muscovies because they are a quiet duck and while many think they are ugly I love their looks!
My dad was a pig farmer from West ern Iowa. He used to scoff at my mom for buying skim milk by saying... ''we feed the skim milk to the hogs! '' He lived to 92 but couldn't get mom to get over the fat fobia. Thanks Keys.
Oh my!!! Dr. Baker you have saved me over and over with your wisdom! I was one of the first in San Diego area with Covid in late 2019. I was trying to recover from a broken back and was very sedentary when I developed the terrible Covid lungs. I struggled for months to just breath and my G.P. of 17 years started mentioning " inflammation ". In early 2020 I developed bilateral carpel tunnel ( I am a tech but my left hand did not have a burden on it) and was trying to understand what my body was telling me. I had serious spinal surgery Feb 2021 and then my GP told me I was a Covid Longhauler, employer mandated v$#@ and I ended up going to the hospitol Sept 21 diagnosed Covid Sequelae, massive inflammation. My GP started mentioning Metabolics but he didnt tell me what that meant. CT scans st Hospitol showed multiple tumors developed very rapidly. More trauma to my body, endured Oct 21, 2021 eye surgery and left breast surgery March 2022 to remove tumors. Covid the third time Dec 2021/ Jan 2022. Nearly died. Desperate I found you on UA-cam with Dt. Berry. My GP resigned leaving me during the shutdown without a doctor. The doctors were very overwhelmed. Desperate I started learning how to read tests and pulled research papers on metabolic disfunction. Suddenly I understood that I had a non alcoholic fatty liver and I WAS metabolically disfunctional and my bilateral carpel tunnel, muscle and joint pain, months and months of terrible lung congestion was all INFLAMMATION due to metabolic disfunction. When I told my Oncologist to please give me a CGM he said, " Why at least your not on insulin". I got the monitor and it confirm my suspicions. Of course I immediately started keto and for 45 days ate every other day. My fatty liver subsided. I got well enough for " radiation therapy " which was admittedly over done! I suddenly realized the "radiation therapy " had exponentially raised my inflammation and I became literally crippled. Every joint in my body hurt, walking was like walking on glass. Not a single doctor knew what to do. I begged for blood tests to check for inflammation. The PAIN was overwhelming, I could not sleep, drive, think and seriously considered jumping off the top of the La Jolla Xmed building. Dr. Baker mentioned that prednisone could help with " inflammarory arthritis " in his book. I had a old prescription of prednisone for asthma on hand for a year. I started a run and within four days I could feel the tsunami wave of PAINFUL INFLAMMATION receded . July 2022 my sister in law and husband became very sick with Covid, as my pain receded I cared for them. She didnt make it, she was on 32 meds and had wanted to change her life to getting of meds and eating carnivore. Her last meal with me was steak. I contracted Covid for the fourth time but this time I could feel my body was more nutritionally fit. I recovered after 6 weeks. I went Carnivore in July and my Covid team couldnt believe my health improved though OMAD and Carnivore was not recommended. I switched my health care provider when the radiologist Oncologist tried to pressure me into more radiation when I developed stage 4 radiation toxicity. I now am studying micro biology. I dumped all the meds. Today Dec. 26, 2022 I can now hike 10 miles when in Jan 2022 I could barely walk to the house next door. Emperical studies proved I was over radiated and it will take a year or more in ketosis to starve out and potential cancer reoccurrence. I contacted Dr. Thomas Seyfried and follow his metabolic protocols for mitochondrial health. I now eat rumanant meat, animal fat to satiety and maintain 2.5 ketosis very easily. It's been a journey. If I had not heard you Dr. Baker talk about inflammation and taken a simple run of prednisone I might not be here now. God Bless you for all you do
Wow Carrie! You’re a 10 miler miracle! I’m so glad you’re still with us! And that you advocated for yourself, thank you for being an incredible example to us . 🤩💕
What carnivore means to me is the appreciation of red meat healing; the skepticism toward vegetables as health-giving and the knowledge of which plant matter is helpful (to me) and how to consume it minimally (such as coconut or winter squash).... animal proteins and animal fats are primary regardless...
I'm so proud of Dr. Madany. I don't know him personally, but my family members do - I grew up in the town where he practices now, and I was born in the tiny community 40 miles away where he first practiced. In fact, my dad was on the board of his current hospital back then and helped to bring him there. Every time I see one of his interviews, I am even more impressed with his intellectual curiosity and how much he's continued to learn and apply with his patients. My hometown is lucky to have him. I'm so glad to hear he is no longer worried about revealing where he works. What an asset to our area.
I love these success stories. I, too, lost 30 lbs on the Keto diet and I found it super easy, especially after the first three days when I hankered for sweets but that quickly left me and I even cheated here and there and still lost. I graduated to the carnivore diet after keto, like so many vegetarians..
Those two studies, the Minnesota coronary experiment (MCE) and the Sydney diet health study, are great studies to remember if anyone questions why you are not afraid of saturated fat. Not only did they indicate that saturated fat was not harmful but in the groups that replaced some saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats more deaths occurred.
Fascinating observations about founder--I used to own a horse, and always wondered about the connection between founder and overfeeding (of grain only). So the link is hyperinsulemia and vascular dysfunction, rapid in the horse and slow in humans.
This is my new thing now, listening to Physicians discuss diet and reveal a peek behind the curtain with regards to their own constraints from their higher ups. TY.
This was a great interview, and as someone who grew up on a farm, I am always glad to hear when someone gets animal agriculture and the whole sustainability argument. Dr. Madany seems to live with a real sense of joy and happiness in his life.
What a lovely chap! Easy listening and entertaining, as well as very knowledgable. I find meat and eggs, cooked in tallow and butter entirely sustainable. I have turned my back on the ‘Balanced Diet’ narrative because I had such bad gut issues on it.
After switching to carnivore, after three months when eating two main meals a day, what accelerated my weight reduction journey was to minimize the number of blood sugar boosting events (eating) in a day, by not eating in between those two events, and moving them closing together to give 18 to 20 hours apart empty time.
It’s so sad I worked at a nursing home and they feed this poor people is sugar, pancakes, orange juice, all types of chips, there’s a guy in a wheelchair doesn’t have one leg and walk by him the other day and he was telling a person how his foot was cut off because of his diabetes but he’s still having a regular coke 😢
I've been carnivore since March 2020. Type 1 diabetic for 50 years with no additional health concerns. Went from 6.7 to 5.4 on my HbA1C. I drink only organic, whole, A2 milk for hypoglycemia. ( See "Devil in the Milk" for why A2 is the way to go. Can't get away from insulin. Starting DHEA recently to help with hormone balance, as I'm 54. When I went to South Africa late summer and ate some things not carnivore, I felt it immediately. My endocrinologist wanted me on a statin, about 8 months ago. All he looked at was my total cholesterol. So typical. Hard no! Even the Kaiser online labs page, looks at ALL components of a lipid panel and puts me at a negligible risk for heart disease. I am actually a lean mass hyper producer. Having lived both sides of the coin...The ridiculous USDA recommendations, vs ketovore and carnivore. The Amer. Diabetes Association and JDRF should be prosecuted for criminal activity. They aren't looking for cures...They make $$$ on keeping people sick. Their recommendations are ALL WRONG!
Grew up Eastern Orthodox myself, we fasted half the year in total, but not for health reasons per se. More than a few go through great lent with just water and a teaspoon of bee pollen per day. I kick off the first week that way, the mental clarity and energy levels are insane from that.
@@ciaranbyrne62 Nope. #1 thing I do is fasting, which means water only. Bee pollen thing is for folks going like 40-50 days without food - i dont know why its done but it seems to work. #2 Is eat nothing but ribeyes.
Shawn, always thank you for what you do. Dr. Madany was great because we need people and doctors like him if we are going to reverse the health of our species.
I was diagnosed as diabetic 2/11/2019. This year, my A1C is 5. My fasting glucose is 70. My fasting insulin level is 2.2. All my doctor cared about was that my LDL is 135.
I love your stuff in that doctor was spot on I'm Native American in the fry bread issue is so real. I look at it as colonization and colonial food and to me it just signifies a system of Oppression. But not many Native see it that way
Native Hawaiian hear, and it’s much the same in my community. Removing us from our land and traditional food production was devastating to our people. There is hope in our communities, though, as Hawaiians start to reconnect with traditional practices. Fish and poi and pork are our soul foods, and we celebrate them.
If you feel oppressed it's because you are not working hard enough. The only way to beat the system is do like the Muslims do. Have large families that work hard and " share purchasing power " then buy the biggest and best of everything. Like here in the UK. They also have the bank of Islam. Which is interest free. Research it. Personally I don't eat carbs anymore but eat meat/ fish and veg and fruit and nuts. There's not much to buy in my local store anymore its all sugar and wheat products. I read " Grain Brain " and just gave it all up. You won't find any oils in my house. Just butter or lard. I am 49 turning 50 in May 23 and I have a 6 pack. Which I haven't seen for 32 years so trust me a fatty meat diet works. Plus my aches and pains are very much reduced and my thoughts clearer. But that probably because you have to give up alcohol when you give up the sugar. Although I had 2 shots on Christmas Dinner with friends. Since then I had a couple of Ice cream tubs 500g each. But it's Christmas and I might have another on New Year's eve and then back to being strict with my health once more. Good luck guys. I hope to visit Hawaii one day. God bless.
For the autoimmune study in Nashville… would love to see PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis ) added to it. A horrible autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure that 100% leads to liver transplant. My young and beautiful wife has PSC and had a liver transplant 3 yrs ago. As with a lot of autoimmune diseases, I’m convinced it’s something to diet.
I recently a few weeks ago received my blood test. A1C 5.6 down from 7.7 down from 11 down from 13. down 50 pounds over the last six months too. However, it took me 6 weeks to get my mind mentally wrapped around committing to doing this! I watched this episode today while enjoying a Ribeye steak cooked in bacon fat. However I drank mocha I made with heavy cream and sweetened monk fruit. My question I probably already know the answer to but want confirmations. " Is just having that sweetness alone raising my insulin? " I know I do much better with just meat and water. But mentally I use this drink to get me through. It's important that I don't have to think about wanting it. I swear it must have addictive properties. I know this instinctively, but I am having trouble getting away from my mocha drink.
Congrats on getting your A1C down and weight loss. The mocha drink should be fine as heavy cream is mostly fat and monk fruit doesn’t contain any carbs. Just make sure to use unsweetened chocolate.
You are doing great!! You'll morph and continue to let it go. I used to be a grande Starbucks mocha 3x a day. Now, a small cup at home with just butter 🧈 .
Evil corrupts everything. Even to the point where we'll meaning people don't realize they are doing the devil's work. Doctors are taught to be drug dealers. Well educated not very wise drug dealers.
Good luck with low carb and skilled nursing places. I volunteered for several years pre-C, and almost 100% residents able to attend activities requested desserts, white flour crackers, real soda pops and wine at weekly activities-as,much as they could consume and not vomit later. I understood exactly how they felt. I tried suggesting low carb with general explanations and the residents were gentle with me, but there was NO enthusiasm. The nurses corrected me saying that by law, any resident can refuse medications, and healthcare advice. I made a remark to the physician making rounds and she chuckled at me with a look of disbelief, explaining that their brains need carbohydrates to function correctly and to just look at them and see how happy they are on ice cream sundae day. I compromised by consistently adding cheese chunks and cubes of snack meats along side the cookies and pretzels and candy. That worked well and eased my anxiety.
The Doc is very right about the prevalence of poly-pharmacy in the standard medicine practice. Dr. Madany seems like a genuinely nice person in addition to being a very knowledgable physician.
Great interview. Probably my favorite. As a Native Hawaiian, your discussion about diabetes in indigenous communities really resonated with me. We have very similar health statistics. We also have our own kind of fry bread here in the form of grain based staples introduced by various plantation immigrants. Rice and pasta did not exist in the Native Hawaiian diet pre-contact, but these starches typically take the most real estate on our plates these days. That and alcohol…
Regarding high blood sugar on a low carb diet- my guess would be that muscle mass plays a really significant role in keeping glucose down. Seems to be that people with a decent amount of muscle do NOT get glucose spikes from overeating protein and have lower levels generally in the morning. It's either the muscle mass itself or the actual exercising that is regulating
It’s strange I have always loved the fat on the meat. I would eat the fat and let my husband eat the lean. I am 65 and completely healthy I have never taken any medication. I only like the skin on poultry. I also love the sun. I guess I intuitively knew what was good for me. Also grew our own food.
Dr. Baker, we need more physicians in Texas that support carnivore/ keto in our larger cities like San Antonio, Austin, and Houston! We need more general family practitioners understanding the benefits.
I know this space dismisses the microbiome idea of " fiber is necessary " & I agree as I recently had a negative experience with fermented dairy, I believe that the culture was too concentrated (I made it myself) & it left me with intermittent head aches, may be from a histamine response, not sure really.... thank you doctors
There is a joke that Lewis Black told that I paraphrase here: "A man in his nineties was asked about his diet, his reply was that he had reduced his diet to fatback, asked why he replied; BECAUSE BACON IS TOO LEAN."
Great episode. Put a steak, one minute per side, in the 1500F Gaspro steak cooker, then into the microwave for one minute total. My oh my. High end restaurant quality.
What drives me up the wall is that I have family members have a variety of lifestyle related health issues. Yet, they won't even consider looking into ways to alleviate those problems. It's like independent research is forbidden because they ask a question once in a while to their doctor.
The latest reasons I’ve heard from vegan/vegetarians for not being on a low carb diet is blood specificity. They argue that your blood type will determine your diet. Are there blood types that only positively react to vegan/vegetarian diets?
I go to my local Publix and but a ribeye side. I ask the to slice it and LEAVE ON ALL THE FAT. There’s a tail of fat on each ribeye that provides the right amount of fat. We need to ask grocers and butchers to leave on the fat. Also, grass fed beef is too lean. They are harvested too young. They should be 5 years old. By age five they have developed beautiful fat. But this is not economical for the ranchers. This is why I eat grain-fattened cows.
anything with an ingredients label = "profitable food-like products", often hyper-palatible or even addictive, so delicious but unsatiating for their increase and your decrease. "Whatever (altered edible) doesn't kill you, weakens you"??
I live in Oregon and I used to go to the Native American Rehabilitation Association for my Healthcare as I am part Native Alaskan they poke your finger every time you go in their Pharmacy is very busy a nurse told me 90% of us have PTSD I am one of them
All the major research centers like Mayo, Cleveland, Harvard prescribe fruits, veg, whole grains and limiting saturated fats once a person has cardio vascular disease. There are no cardiologists telling people to eat the carnivore diet, and avoid plants.
I have been studying metabolic disease for a long time, and I have come to the conclusion that it is not caused mainly by high insulin. It's actually caused by fructose consumption. Historically, that is what we see. Societies that eat starches like potatoes, corn and rice without fructose basically never get diabetes, but societies that eat fructose do. If Gary Taubes was correct, then diabetes would have been rampant among agricultural societies that ate lots of starches. This is not what we see. When sugar from sugar beets and sugar cane was introduced, diabetes followed along perfectly. If you look at all societies that increase their fructose consumption, diabetes always follows. This rule is basically never been shown to not be true.
Dr. Baker, I think Fibrocystic breast disease is an autoimmune problem. Carnivore could cure it by removing veggies! Someone needs to do a study on this as I feel vegetable oxalates cause it, bromine, and cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cabbage- due to them blocking iodine absorption in natural foods. These organs can get oxalates stored in there and also need iodine. Those could each be a separate study. But it needs to be done. Fibrocystic breasts is escalating and some say over time the masses in the fibrocystic tissue could lead to breast cancer. But even the ovarian cancer and uterine cancer, and PCOS could be linked to all this too!
Seems odd to use the same standards that you have at a bad place and then, by approaching from a different direction and going to the same place, you end up better off?
better to pay the butcher than to pay the doctor.
Excellent. I spare little expense on quality food. In the long run you’re saving a lot
Well I payed the doctor and got a butcher
Meat ...medicine for the body
Excellent point

I love the concept of giving nursing home residents the carnivore diet and to see the real improvements over bad health and pain.
Yes. Too many elderly end up doing the "toast and tea" diet and don't get nearly enough protein.

Grew up Eastern Orthodox myself, we fasted half the year in total, but not for health reasons per se. More than a few go through great lent with just water and a teaspoon of bee pollen per day. I kick off the first week that way, the mental clarity and energy levels are insane from that.
Wow. Any other fasting experiences/ foods that you can suggest? Cheers
@@ciaranbyrne62 Nope. #1 thing I do is fasting, which means water only. Bee pollen thing is for folks going like 40-50 days without food - i dont know why its done but it seems to work. #2 Is eat nothing but ribeyes.
I hope you start using your UA-cam channel more Dr. Mad any. What a delight you are. Thanks so much for doing this interview. I loved it.
What an interesting, upbeat doctor. His patients are lucky to have him.
Graduating to 100% carnivore.... committing to 30 days starting the new year. Running about 80% carnivore now..
Shawn, always thank you for what you do. Dr. Madany was great because we need people and doctors like him if we are going to reverse the health of our species.
What an uplifting testimony...thank you!
I was diagnosed as diabetic 2/11/2019. This year, my A1C is 5. My fasting glucose is 70. My fasting insulin level is 2.2. All my doctor cared about was that my LDL is 135.
I love your stuff in that doctor was spot on I'm Native American in the fry bread issue is so real. I look at it as colonization and colonial food and to me it just signifies a system of Oppression. But not many Native see it that way
Native Hawaiian hear, and it’s much the same in my community. Removing us from our land and traditional food production was devastating to our people. There is hope in our communities, though, as Hawaiians start to reconnect with traditional practices. Fish and poi and pork are our soul foods, and we celebrate them.
If you feel oppressed it's because you are not working hard enough. The only way to beat the system is do like the Muslims do. Have large families that work hard and " share purchasing power " then buy the biggest and best of everything. Like here in the UK. They also have the bank of Islam. Which is interest free. Research it. Personally I don't eat carbs anymore but eat meat/ fish and veg and fruit and nuts. There's not much to buy in my local store anymore its all sugar and wheat products. I read " Grain Brain " and just gave it all up. You won't find any oils in my house. Just butter or lard. I am 49 turning 50 in May 23 and I have a 6 pack. Which I haven't seen for 32 years so trust me a fatty meat diet works. Plus my aches and pains are very much reduced and my thoughts clearer. But that probably because you have to give up alcohol when you give up the sugar. Although I had 2 shots on Christmas Dinner with friends. Since then I had a couple of Ice cream tubs 500g each. But it's Christmas and I might have another on New Year's eve and then back to being strict with my health once more. Good luck guys. I hope to visit Hawaii one day. God bless.
I LOVE this interview so much!!! Thank you Dr Baker!!! 🙏🏼
Loved hearing Dr. Madany! What a great guy.
Dr. John seems like a great guy a wealth of knowledge.
This is an excellent interview!!! Thank you for bringing this man on.
For the autoimmune study in Nashville… would love to see PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis ) added to it. A horrible autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure that 100% leads to liver transplant. My young and beautiful wife has PSC and had a liver transplant 3 yrs ago. As with a lot of autoimmune diseases, I’m convinced it’s something to diet.
I recently a few weeks ago received my blood test. A1C 5.6 down from 7.7 down from 11 down from 13. down 50 pounds over the last six months too. However, it took me 6 weeks to get my mind mentally wrapped around committing to doing this! I watched this episode today while enjoying a Ribeye steak cooked in bacon fat. However I drank mocha I made with heavy cream and sweetened monk fruit. My question I probably already know the answer to but want confirmations. " Is just having that sweetness alone raising my insulin? " I know I do much better with just meat and water. But mentally I use this drink to get me through. It's important that I don't have to think about wanting it. I swear it must have addictive properties. I know this instinctively, but I am having trouble getting away from my mocha drink.
Congrats on getting your A1C down and weight loss. The mocha drink should be fine as heavy cream is mostly fat and monk fruit doesn’t contain any carbs. Just make sure to use unsweetened chocolate.
You are doing great!! You'll morph and continue to let it go. I used to be a grande Starbucks mocha 3x a day. Now, a small cup at home with just butter 🧈 .
@@athiker111 I’m using Hershey’s dark cocoa powder. Unsweetened.
Thank you for this guest, loved this interview!
Really enjoyed the interview. What a great guy!
Excellent interview!
Happy New Year! May God bless EVERYONE with health and happiness for the 2023 and the future 🙏❤
This was a very enlightening look at the benefits of carnivore/keto oriented diets!
Fantastic conversation, I completely enjoyed it!
Evil corrupts everything. Even to the point where we'll meaning people don't realize they are doing the devil's work. Doctors are taught to be drug dealers. Well educated not very wise drug dealers.
True but they do save a lot of lives too.
Most patients would rather take a pill than change their diet.
Another interesting perspective of a carnivore approach and ranching.
Love these episodes. Thank you.
If I can chew it - I eat it. That is my ribeye motto. Great chat guys. Thanks.
This is a great interview. 54 minutes went by quickly! Important to capture perspectives and observations from all over the map. Thank you.
This merits a huge audience. The vegetable-pushers need to hear this.
Great talk together 😊💗👍👍. Thank You
Very knowledgeable conversation thanks Dr Shawn and Dr John
I like this guy!
Good luck with low carb and skilled nursing places. I volunteered for several years pre-C, and almost 100% residents able to attend activities requested desserts, white flour crackers, real soda pops and wine at weekly activities-as,much as they could consume and not vomit later. I understood exactly how they felt. I tried suggesting low carb with general explanations and the residents were gentle with me, but there was NO enthusiasm. The nurses corrected me saying that by law, any resident can refuse medications, and healthcare advice. I made a remark to the physician making rounds and she chuckled at me with a look of disbelief, explaining that their brains need carbohydrates to function correctly and to just look at them and see how happy they are on ice cream sundae day. I compromised by consistently adding cheese chunks and cubes of snack meats along side the cookies and pretzels and candy. That worked well and eased my anxiety.
What a treat, I truly enjoyed this info
The Doc is very right about the prevalence of poly-pharmacy in the standard medicine practice.
Dr. Madany seems like a genuinely nice person in addition to being a very knowledgable physician.
Great interview. Probably my favorite. As a Native Hawaiian, your discussion about diabetes in indigenous communities really resonated with me. We have very similar health statistics. We also have our own kind of fry bread here in the form of grain based staples introduced by various plantation immigrants. Rice and pasta did not exist in the Native Hawaiian diet pre-contact, but these starches typically take the most real estate on our plates these days. That and alcohol…
Thanks so much for this podcast; very good information! God bless you guys🙏 Happy New Year to the both of you 🙏❤
Regarding high blood sugar on a low carb diet- my guess would be that muscle mass plays a really significant role in keeping glucose down. Seems to be that people with a decent amount of muscle do NOT get glucose spikes from overeating protein and have lower levels generally in the morning. It's either the muscle mass itself or the actual exercising that is regulating
👍”get them under control so they see THEY have control”👍
It’s strange I have always loved the fat on the meat. I would eat the fat and let my husband eat the lean. I am 65 and completely healthy I have never taken any medication. I only like the skin on poultry. I also love the sun. I guess I intuitively knew what was good for me. Also grew our own food.
Great video! Thank you both!
Dr. Baker, we need more physicians in Texas that support carnivore/ keto in our larger cities like San Antonio, Austin, and Houston! We need more general family practitioners understanding the benefits.
I know this space dismisses the microbiome idea of " fiber is necessary " & I agree as I recently had a negative experience with fermented dairy, I believe that the culture was too concentrated (I made it myself) & it left me with intermittent head aches, may be from a histamine response, not sure really.... thank you doctors
There is a joke that Lewis Black told that I paraphrase here: "A man in his nineties was asked about his diet, his reply was that he had reduced his diet to fatback, asked why he replied; BECAUSE BACON IS TOO LEAN."
I started carnivore 2 yrs ago and now I am drug free. I am also not using scented soaps and for the first time skin conditions are going away.
Lovely man!
Great episode. Put a steak, one minute per side, in the 1500F Gaspro steak cooker, then into the microwave for one minute total. My oh my. High end restaurant quality.
What drives me up the wall is that I have family members have a variety of lifestyle related health issues. Yet, they won't even consider looking into ways to alleviate those problems.
It's like independent research is forbidden because they ask a question once in a while to their doctor.
Wonderful guest. Spoke to the mediterranean diet which is part of the Blue Zone. Part 2 please.
Thanks Docs
Fantastic!
The latest reasons I’ve heard from vegan/vegetarians for not being on a low carb diet is blood specificity. They argue that your blood type will determine your diet. Are there blood types that only positively react to vegan/vegetarian diets?
Does Dr. Baker have a list of doctors nationwide that are open to carnivore for management of disease?
I go to my local Publix and but a ribeye side. I ask the to slice it and LEAVE ON ALL THE FAT. There’s a tail of fat on each ribeye that provides the right amount of fat. We need to ask grocers and butchers to leave on the fat. Also, grass fed beef is too lean. They are harvested too young. They should be 5 years old. By age five they have developed beautiful fat. But this is not economical for the ranchers. This is why I eat grain-fattened cows.
@ 49:20 Ya! Short ribs; It takes an hour or so to thaw but, Hot pan, 1 & 1/2 minutes each side and done. Eat it while watching a Shawn Baker video. 😄
Intellectual property diet. I'm going to use that expression!
anything with an ingredients label = "profitable food-like products", often hyper-palatible or even addictive, so delicious but unsatiating for their increase and your decrease. "Whatever (altered edible) doesn't kill you, weakens you"??
Can you investigate Lichen Sclerosis and the effect of Carnivore ot Keto?
I live in Oregon and I used to go to the Native American Rehabilitation Association for my Healthcare as I am part Native Alaskan they poke your finger every time you go in their Pharmacy is very busy a nurse told me 90% of us have PTSD I am one of them
All the major research centers like Mayo, Cleveland, Harvard prescribe fruits, veg, whole grains and limiting saturated fats once a person has cardio vascular disease. There are no cardiologists telling people to eat the carnivore diet, and avoid plants.
@@happydogg312 also Dr Nadir Ali
Don’t worry about the side effects . We have a pill for that .
Do you have a link to the study about fiber and reumatoid arthritis?
As a Blackfeet, I agree with fryvbread
Government takes such good care of us
I have been studying metabolic disease for a long time, and I have come to the conclusion that it is not caused mainly by high insulin. It's actually caused by fructose consumption. Historically, that is what we see. Societies that eat starches like potatoes, corn and rice without fructose basically never get diabetes, but societies that eat fructose do. If Gary Taubes was correct, then diabetes would have been rampant among agricultural societies that ate lots of starches. This is not what we see. When sugar from sugar beets and sugar cane was introduced, diabetes followed along perfectly. If you look at all societies that increase their fructose consumption, diabetes always follows. This rule is basically never been shown to not be true.
Most patients would rather take a pill than change their diet!
Dr. Baker, I think Fibrocystic breast disease is an autoimmune problem. Carnivore could cure it by removing veggies! Someone needs to do a study on this as I feel vegetable oxalates cause it, bromine, and cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cabbage- due to them blocking iodine absorption in natural foods. These organs can get oxalates stored in there and also need iodine. Those could each be a separate study. But it needs to be done. Fibrocystic breasts is escalating and some say over time the masses in the fibrocystic tissue could lead to breast cancer. But even the ovarian cancer and uterine cancer, and PCOS could be linked to all this too!
I would like to hear from a top zookeeper what they do and DO NOT feed gorillas. Bet they do not feed beans grains and sugars. Fiber only.
Seems odd to use the same standards that you have at a bad place and then, by approaching from a different direction and going to the same place, you end up better off?
My BP is not coming down on carnivore
Government food
People love there government whether republican or democrat all hail there lord and savior the government
How many animals that eat natural foods go running off to the doctors?
Meat....medicine for the body
