CARNIVORE Experience: Journey from Junk-food to Keto to Carnivore [Hashimotos]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2023
- My health was a mess years ago. I wanted my life back. Here I share my health transformation spanning a couple decades - from the standard garbage American diet, to low carb, keto and then to carnivore - I've currently done 60 days carnivore. I am no longer in constant severe pain. This is my health journey.
Although many people try carnivore for weight loss, many others are on it for autoimmune conditions, mental health issues and to help heal G.I. problems. I hope this video inspires some people, or starts a conversation. Let me know if you have any questions at all.
The low carb, keto and carnivore communities online are super supportive.
Thank you so much for watching - Holly.

It's amazing how Carnivore helps make you look younger also. She is 41 and looks like she is her late 20's. I'm a 49 year old guy myself and have been getting looks from 20 years olds. I've lost over 80.pounds. I started out on Keto, then switched to Carnivore. (From 240 to now 156 pounds in a little over 6 months) ...
Thank you! Congrats on losing that weight and getting healthier. That's amazing! Have you seen Alex here? www.youtube.com/@CarnivoreforLife65 He is 65. He looks incredible and has such a youthful energy too.
@@LifeDIY wow. Dude looks like he's in his 40's. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I didn't even get looks from 20 year old girls when I was 20 lol
I have been on keto for two weeks now and haven’t seen any changes in my body. But I do notice my mind and mood is much better and I have a lot of energy and sleep better. However, if you are saying that the carnivore diet cures ugliness as well, then I am IN!!!!
@@jerrymylove1754 Yeah. I was pretty shocked. Lol. But it does happen.
You have amazing hair!
I’m 58 and been sick for years. Started carnivore 2 months ago and all my symptoms are disappearing. I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my life and my energy is amazing. Thank you Lord!
I am SO happy to hear you're doing so much better now! That's amazing! And thanks for the hair compliment. 🙏
This is amazing! Good for you! I mean really!….excellent for you❤️
90 days for me and I am soooo amazed at the changes
@@LifeDIYI agree, your hair is fabulous! I noticed my hair stopped falling out 5 months into doing fairly strict carnivore. Now, I'm wondering if my natural golden brunette color will return (to replace all these silver strands) if I give it time and maybe even add a copper supplement? I've seen people commenting that they got their natural color back.
Holly, watched your video and I'm super impressed. Love how you're taking health into your own hands when doctors can't give all (any) of the answers. Keep it up! 👏💪 See you on the 24 hour live stream!
Kerry, thank you so much and thanks for sharing my video! I am so excited for the livestream ua-cam.com/video/0mzmwmvyE4s/v-deo.html coming up! 🙏
@@LifeDIY I would definitely talk to a doctor before you do anything, but trace minerals can have a positive effect on thyroid issues. Selenium and iodine are particularly helpful. However, you only need a tiny amount of it for a therapeutic effect, and it can be a tricky thing to find the amount that works best for you. I don't have thyroid issues, but I do have a slightly overactive thyroid, and Selenium helps calm things down a bit. Iodine had the opposite effect on me and made my heart beat faster, so that was a short lived experiment 😅
I've noticed lately that a lot of people who heard about the carnivore diet and decided to jump on it without doing any prior research, aren't aware that they risk becoming deficient in vitamin C (from fruits, tiny amount in eggs), Folic Acid or B9 (leafy greens, also a smaller amount in eggs) which affects nerves, as well as hair, skin and nails. And to make things even more complicated, the fat in egg whites inhibits the absorption of Biotin or vitamin B7, which leads to hair loss if you become deficient in it.
All of these things can be found in liver and organ meats, but I imagine most people, like me aren't too keen on eating that - so Vitamin C should be supplemented, eggs should at least be consumed occasionally in order to avoid B9 deficiency, and if people on the carnivore diet are experiencing hair loss, a likely solution to that issue is to consume some egg yolk without the egg white - because egg yolks provide Biotin which is necessary to maintain healthy hair follicles, but the egg white inhibits the absorption of it and can cause deficiency. I'm putting this here, because I wish I had known about the egg white issue when I started on the diet and began eating A LOT of ground beef + eggs after I got tired of eating steaks every day. I had no clue what was going on when I started losing more hair than usual, all of a sudden. It was never really an issue for me, but it could've become one if I had ignored it and kept eating so much eggs with the egg white in it.
I know some people hate the idea of taking supplements, but vegans and vegetarians have to take a ton of supplements derived from animal foods, and carnivores have to take some as well, unless they're willing to eat liver every once in a while. Personally, I'd rather supplement with vitamin C.
Here is the summary of the video:
- She has been eating a carnivore diet for 60 days to improve health issues.
- In her 20s/30s, she had many health problems from carbon monoxide poisoning including GI issues, sleep problems, migraines, back/arm pain, and limping.
- She started improving her health by eliminating gluten and dairy which helped significantly.
- Over the years she transitioned to lower carb and lower sugar which further improved her health.
- She shows before/after photos indicating less facial inflammation and puffiness after diet changes.
- Her brother's health transformation on carnivore inspired her to try it. She wanted to improve her thyroid issues.
- Transitioning was challenging with intense hunger and waking at 3am initially. This got better over time.
- While much healthier now, she still deals with fatigue and wants to heal her thyroid.
- She plans to continue carnivore for longer than 60 days to see if it can help improve her thyroid and energy levels.
In summary, she explains her health journey and decision to try the carnivore diet to address remaining health issues like thyroid problems and fatigue.
Thanks for sharing this. :)
@@LifeDIY how are you 1 month later after this video? You feel better?
@@LifeDIY almost 2 month later
Day 68 carnivore. Youre brother kerrys video of his day 91 got me to go carnivore. Feeling much better too
Awesome! Hope it's going well still!
I love your brother & family. He's the one who inspired me to try carnivore for 30 days. I don't plan on going back to any other way of eating. Loved your video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Glad to hear your health is improving. Happy Birthday to you, best wishes for a wonderful year
Thank you for your service. I am a 78 y.o. Veteran who began Carnivore on Jan. 7, 2023. I can't tell you what issues may have been resolved; probably pain. I am disabled due to Scoliosis. Have High Blood Pressure. About a year and a half ago the VA put me on a blood pressure medication which the side effects were weight gain and leg swelling. I put on about 40 pounds in less than 60 days. Was over 200 for the first time ever. Haven't lost any weight. Need to be at around 160 which is where I was when running marathons; ran my last one at age 65.
Thank you for your service and for sharing some of your story. I am sorry about the scoliosis. My mom has it pretty badly too. I am sorry to hear about the blood pressure medication and side effects. I wish they didn't prescribe things so carelessly - and oftentimes they don't really tell us about the common side effects, or downplay them. I hope things are getting better for you!
Wow you came up in my feed and I was really enjoying the video and didn't even realise you are Kerry's sister. You are both naturals on camera and so genuine. So great to see more people having great results from carnivore
Thank you so much! It's a small world on here. :)
Sounds like you are having great success so far getting your health back, congratulations. Have been watching your brother for a while now and his enthusiasm is incredible. You can tell he is so happy with the turn around in his health he really wants to help others! Welcome to the carnivore community.
Thanks for the nice comment!
Been following Kerry and I’m so happy to follow your journey!
Thanks, Jennifer!
I love your format, clear and simple.
Thank you! I am so glad, and I really appreciate the feedback. 🙏
Thank you for your service. Congratulations on how far you've come!
Thank you, Linda! 🙏
Oh my word, Kerry is your brother?! Watching his channel has been a huge inspiration and encouragement to me!
He is! I am so happy to hear that. 🙏 He has such an amazing community. I love it!
IVE BEEN CARNIVORE FOR 3.5 MONTHS, AND WAS INSPIRED BY KERRY'S CHANNEL!!... I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BETTER.❤
Thanks, Johnny! 🙏
I am new to all of this, but I believe from what I've learned that is is the best course of action for all of us! I've recently discovered your brother's channel and I'm learning a lot and desire to continue to learn and grown from here. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Your ravenous hunger sounds like Bella's (Steak and Butter Gal) experience. I think it reflects a long time of under-nourishment before, or else some desperate need of healing. It's great that our bodies are so smart, and so resilient once we start giving them what they need.
Yes that is definitely possible! Thanks for sharing this. I've heard a few people talk about that.
God bless you! What a crazy amount of ailments you had! I wish you continued success and lots of happiness!
Thanks, Nicole!
Its insane how much I can relate to everything you are saying! This is the first video of yours I have found, instant subscribe, so informative and inspiring! So happy for you, Im at the beginning of my carnivore journey. We can do this!
Awww thank you! Let me know if you ever have questions. I am happy you subscribed. :)
Looking forward to watching your journey! I have been trying to heal my hashimotos on carnivore as well. This is the best I’ve felt in years.
Thank you for sharing this Katy! I am SO happy for you and I hope you keep me posted. I have lowered my thyroid meds (you have to be careful with that though) and I am hoping for my body to heal and adjust to the new dose, and for my thyroid to start working better on its own. Someday I want to get off if fully. I am hoping that will be possible for us both! Thankfully I am not having any autoimmune flareups at all though.
Your brother sent me, and I subbed. You look great! I’m looking forward to seeing your healing progress. 🙂
Thank you so much, Jodi! 🙏
Holly, I am carnivore also and eating fatty fish helped my thyroid. I love watching your videos. So glad you are doing better.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I need fo incorporate more fatty fish into my diet. 🙏
Thats one way of implementing the food, but most likely you are deficient in iodide. @@LifeDIY
Thank you for sharing your story! Seeing you on Homestead How 24 hr live led me to find your channel!!!
Melanie, thank you for checking out my video. That's awesome you found me from the livestream. It was fun! 🙏
I hope you will be part of Kerry's documentary. So glad you followed your brother into carnivore way of life.
I'm so sorry about all your past health issues.🥺 I pray that carnivore diet fully heals you and allow you to have a healthy future 🙏❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. I hope so too. And, the same for you! 🙏🙏🙏
You are spectacular. Couldn’t stop listening. I’m not looking for miracles but experiencing incredible benefits even at Day 25. Thanks for sharing. Stay brilliant.
Thank you for this kind comment. I'm so happy for you being on day 25 and doing so well too. I like your approach in not expecting miracles. I have had the same approach myself. Any benefits are a big deal! 🙏
Great to "Meat" you during the 24 hour Live stream and thanks for subbing to our channel! Can't wait to continue to hear your story too. It's amazing seeing all the healing that is going on through Carnivore!!
Great to meat you too! :)) I can't wait to see and hear more about your journey too. This is an amazing community. Thank you!
Whaaat, your brother is Kerry, that's crazy. I was watching some of your videos 6 months or so ago (nad supplements) , and then just a few months ago, I started watching Kerry's channel, trying to find the best diet to follow. Loving Carnivore (ish) diet so far! Best of luck to ya'll!
That's awesome to hear! Small world! Pretty soon my whole family will be on UA-cam. :) I am so glad you're loving your carnivore (ish) diet. Thanks so much for the comment! 🙏
Congrats to you and your bro for fixing so many health issues already!
Thank you!
I will be starting my carnivore journey October 2023 ! I’m truly excited! Wish me luck guys!!
Hello Penza..good luck it has its challenges but overall better then then standard…
Thanks for your video and viewpoints. Glad to hear that things are much better. We generally have to take control of our life to take the time to try and experience what works best. What is most shocking is all the garbage advice that food companies trainers and health professionals have given that helps trip us up from healthy eating. What was not told us was how many politicians and food companies have messed with studies and sometimes even outright lied to promote their own food for their own profit. Sadly a number of doctors have been bought off too. We have had to wade through a lot of garbage to get helpful accurate advice. Another thing is that now we are starting to get a lot of credible doctors warning us about harmful effects of things such as grains and vegetables.
The carnivore lifestyle is the easiest way to depend on time proven food for genuine health.
Thanks, David! I am a fan of both keto and carnivore. It's so true about credible doctors coming forward to speak about nutrition nowadays and in that way, I love that we have platforms for them (like UA-cam). Unfortunately it seems that many platforms may start taking more action to suppress this type of open information. I would rather hear all kinds of arguments for or against things - vegan, keto, etc. than YT or Google trying to determine what we are allowed to hear about.
41?!! Wow! You look phenomenal! I’m 36, not overweight, no health problems. Just looking at carnivore for longevity. I can’t wait to see if it helps me feel better.
Holly, you look amazing - I was sure this was another teen's video about how she tried keto/carnivore:)) Your story is fascinating, and your channel is great! I know and subscribed to your brother - he is a very passionate and cool dude:) Glad I found your channel - new sub here.
Thanks, Mark! This is such a nice comment. When I was a teen, I wanted to look older. Now if you think I look like a teen, that's always fun to hear. I am happy you stopped by to watch and it's awesome you know my brother too. I just got off of his 24 hour livestream. I am hoping I can stop on again later as it was fun! 🙏
Thanks Holly, glad you’re doing better! ❤
Thank you!! 🙏
Funny I've been following your brothers channel and he looks amazing, glad the algorithm let me find your channel. He along with many others have put me on track for my own ketovore journey going on a few weeks now and I already feel great, think that first few weeks as you transition from burning glucose to fat brings out various sugar/carb withdrawal symptoms. Had some struggles but realized when I up my fat intake, this really helps. Keep up the carnivore journey, you look amazing and love the sense of hope in your voice as you try to heal your thyroid. Your beautiful inside and out and count me in as a subscriber. 😊
Thank you so much for this very nice comment. I am so happy for you too! That's good you're doing better with raising your fat intake. Did you go from keto to ketovore? I think ketovore is a great way to do it - super healthy!
@LifeDIY Yes for me Ketovore seems to be the best for my body, think in the past i was eating cuts of meat and even ground beef, started making this powerbowl (butter, beef, eggs and bacon) after watching another channel and swear after I eat it Im so satisfied. BTW, I enjoyed the video you did with your mom, it so brought me back to my childhood, and how bad our food choices were and what is crazy is how we were sold thst it was healthy. I see you doing some beauty related videos, honestly not sure you need it your already so beautiful.
Of course I will subscribe to Kerry’s Sister’s channel. Glad to hear how you are thriving on carnivore.
Thank you, Gerard! 🙏
Love watching your brother Kerry at Homesteadhow! He’s an amazing and motivational speaker that pumps everyone upI didn’t know you two are siblings, just found your channel! Welcome to carnivore! ☺️
Hi Jennifer - thank you! 🙏
@@LifeDIY you are welcome! ☺️
Happy birthday Holly! 😊
😮😮😮👏👏👏 you look so young & are the picture of health! thanks for sharing!🩷
Thank you so much, Paulette!
Thank you for making this video. Probably wrote to much here, BUT, if anyone has ever been Extremely Healthy like I was, to being placed on disability just this year, well, I think someone out there may relate. I just went on SSDI disability earlier this year, and 1/2 the symptoms you shared you have, I have right now, low energy, migraines, no sleep, severe pain in my arm, and the middle of my upper back, and so many more; but no energy is the worse which is really annoying for me being I used to willingly work 14 hour day's, now I have barely enough energy to get out of bed. I do force myself to do at least one productive thing a day, but none of us should be this tired in this stage of life. I started the Carnivore diet a year ago after watching Mikhaila Perterson podcast about her journey, but honestly fell back into sugar about 3 week's in. And I agree with what you stated, my research shows, there is just NO WAY that ANYONE can learn the benefits unless they try it for At Least 3 month's, if not 6 month's, seriously. Anyhow I just recently, 2 week's ago, I just committed to doing it for one year to see if I notice and feel the difference you and so many other's I have watched say they are experiencing, it really would be like a miracle which I've never experienced. lol (Steak and Butter Gal) is another Great Informative channel as well as Mikhaila's, that I just watched about 7 hour's of over this past weekend, that is really helping me understand what we all may go through during the change of our diets to a full on Carnivore diet. Anyhow, pretty cool her channel brought me to yours here. PS: I thought you were around 20 year's old, until you stated you're 41. It has to be doing something great, you really do look amazing. My face is puffy, and caved in, and I have no energy, so it's nice to see through your video here, with you also having been on disability, that there actually may be some real Hope & Energy just by changing my diet. Hope you have some fun with your new journey. - BC
@@Scorpio,
I hope the carnivore diet restores your health!! 🙏🏻 How is it going for you? Are you enjoying your food?
Honestly, no lie, my jaw dropped when you said you were 41...wow. Never would have guessed that - look amazing.
I have hashimotos as well, the rare male that gets it, lucky me! Debating trying Carnivore as my energy levels, focus, digestion and strength have not been what they used to be. Great video!
I did basically the same, from Junk-food to "Healthy Diet" to Carnivore and it has been great. I strongly recommend everyone Stop eating Carbs, Sugars, Plants, and Processed Foods! Many health improvements. Just a shame that we have been lied to all our lives! I just whish I had billions of dollars so I could afford to sue everyone for all the lies throughout my life. I am 72 and have been lied to all my life, the people that spread the BS should all be in jail or worse for all the lies about health and nutrition! Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing, my story is very similar, 42 ssdi, extreme anxiety, migraine narcolepsy...on and on. Every little improvement is huge deal.
I'm amazed at all the comments I'm seeing with people having narcolepsy + a slew of other issues. I hope things are getting better. I know what you mean about every improvement is a big deal. I totally agree! 🙏
I’ve been watching your brother for a couple of months now. He’s doing amazing things for the carnivore community. I’ve been on carnivore now for 28 days and feeling great. Lost 7 lb too. I’ve subbed you and look forward to future videos.
That's awesome to hear! Thank you so much for subscribing. It's exciting what's going on in this amazingly supportive community. 🙏
@@LifeDIY I'm going to be completely honest with you. I'd totally marry you. I wouldn't even think about it twice. You want to know the craziest part? I don't even want to get married, at all. I know this may sound corny, but it's just simply the truth.
@@robmen1402same but she’s over double my age LOL
I am so happy for you, Holly, for your wins!!
Thanks so much, Paul! It's great to see your comment here. I hope you're doing well! 🙏
@@LifeDIY Happy belated Birthday! I'm doing great. Lost 40 lbs and cured my CHF with some high-end supplements. Health is always an ongoing process but right now I'm in a good place. Thanks!
Amazing to hear that Paul!
Hi sister!! Good job getting rid of your health problems! I hope you don't have to be desperate anymore regarding your health. I've been so worried over the years because you have suffered so much with your health. Although-you always looks amazing!!!! 😁💪🌻
I hope eating meat is the answer to curing your many health issues. I'm sorry you have been so sick the past decades. Have you researched mental health and carnivore? You should do a video on that.
Great job sister! So amazing!
Happy Birthday!🎂🍷
Thank you so much 😀
When I was in my early 40's I wish I knew more about diet and more specifically carb intake. Our hormones start to become erratic in our 40's and it's best to develop good eating habits before peri-menopause. I suffered a lot with high sugar and dropping hormone levels. You're doing it right and I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Hi Holly! Found you through your brother! Love your whole family!I’m a Veteran too - USAF. Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service in the Air Force, Rhonda! 🙏 I just subscribed to your channel too. :)
@@LifeDIY Wow! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I’m going to go on carnivore soon. I just started working out again.
This is awesome to see! Hope you stick to it. Been carnivore for a year, this month, and its been a life changer - for the positive. Lots of inflammation has gone away and I am amazed at the things I was allergic to, which were big parts of my former diet. Super surprised that I already know and have been following your brothers channel!
Thank YOU for sharing this! One year! That's amazing. I am so happy to hear about your improvements. That's awesome you've been following Kerry's channel too. I was just a part of his 24 hour livestream. I hope I can get back on there later as it was fun!
@@LifeDIY Thank you! Thank you for being fearless in a world filled with fear and uncertainty. You are an inspiration and you have given ME much to think about, in regards to my health and well being. I would love to say all this in person, but I will be content to merely share it in a humble reply. You are a radiant, beautiful and glowing beacon of truth!
where do you get vitamin c from?
Hi Holly! Kerry lead me to you and I’m now subscribed 😊 Happy Belated Birthday 🥳 The benefits from the carnivore lifestyle are so abundant! I’ve been eating this way for about 5 weeks and improved many things but feel I need to tweak a bit for my body to feel its best. I agree with you about how long it takes (for some) for my body to truly switch over to this new normal. I need to allow myself at least 90 days and see what happens. I’ll be following your journey and pray that your thyroid will become the best it’s ever been 🙌🏼💕
Hi Shayna and thank you so much for watching my video! That's awesome you stopped by from Kerry's channel. 🙏 I am so happy to hear you're doing well and having improvements so far on carnivore. I totally relate to needing to tweak things (even now). I feel like I am learning a lot through this process too, and learning what I need to eat to feel my best. I thought I was adapted but I think it's still happening now. I bet it takes a lot longer than many people think. I looked at your account and you look amazing! That is my next goal - getting fit and super toned. Thank you so much for the kind comment. I am amazed with Kerry's community or the keto, carnivore communities online - so supportive. I am not used to it but I love it! Thank you for the prayer for healing my thyroid. I believe it will happen! 🤗
@@LifeDIY Holly, you are gorgeous! Thank you so much for the compliment! That photo was taken last November after a 90 day transformation challenge. I lost 22 pounds and got down to 11% body fat (from 18%). The thing was, I felt like crap. I didn’t start the carnivore lifestyle until the end of July. I wasn’t eating enough fat to feel well but now I feel I’m eating TOO much fat. Still learning what my body wants to feel it’s best. I was also eating TONS of vegetables which left me constantly feeling bloated and gassy. You can’t really tell by the angle of the photo, but I was bloated there too! Just a few days into carnivore, the bloating and gas were GONE 🙌🏼 I’m hoping to lose some of the fat I regained and put on more muscle. 💪🏼😊 Excited to watch you learn, grow, and thrive❣️🥩
Shayna, thank you. You look amazing! Have you thought about doing a youtube channel? When you mentioned doing a 90 day transformation challenge, I immediately thought it would be a great video. I'd love to see that. That's incredible you got down to 11% body fat. But, not good if you felt terrible. I'm just curious, how tall are you? I can relate to all these issues with balancing out how much fat you need. I never did that right on keto or when I was very low carb. I think it gets harder when you have burned off all your body fat. Have you had any sleep issues? I'm having a problem again now. I seem to only get 6 hours of sleep. Today I woke up at 3 AM! :) Have you had this before? And, I'm happy for you with the next goals you have. I need more muscles too! :)
Hi Holly! I’m flattered that you would suggest that I start up a UA-cam channel, you’re so sweet. Perhaps after a few years of being ketovore (still using my not-so-healthy creamer in my morning coffee), I’ll become a fit 50 year old meat based bodybuilder to show people it can be done 💪🏼😁🥩 I’ve always dreamed of becoming “stage lean” but not doing a show. Not my thing to get judged on how I look. Just for ME. I’m 5’8” and about 150 pounds right now. I got down to 135 at the end of that challenge but feel my best around 140-145. Not too far off. I’ve felt better these last few days by omitting the extra fat I was eating. Instead of adding ghee and having a serving of coconut butter for dessert 🫣 I just go with the fat that’s in the meat. I feel it’s enough for me, for now anyway.
Sleep issues? Yes! For quite some time actually. I usually get up between 3-4 am! Of course I’m usually in bed by 8/8:30, but I know I’m not getting enough. It’s a mental thing mostly. I want plenty of time to read my devotionals, have my coffee, and do a few things around the house before I leave for spin class. I have 2 kids in high school. My daughter is 15 and my son is 16. I like getting my workout in before they even wake up 🙂
What branch of the military were you in? I was active duty Air Force from 1997-2001 then I did a few years in the NY Air National Guard. It’s great talking to you and getting to know you! 🫡 Now I need to watch all your videos!!!
Wow, I can't believe he's your brother! I found you for microneedling.. I love his videos!
That's awesome, thank you!
Holly, fantastic video!
I'm so happy to see your comment here, mom! Thank you! And, thanks Bill for your tips! 🤗
Thanks for your service.
Thank you, Kipp! 🙏
WTH...no way that's your brother. Love his channel, the carnivore diet is very interesting to me, considering I'm coming from a bodybuilding back ground..
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you figured it out. I find that foods can be healing or hurtful as well as hidden molds, water damage, to root canal and breast implants. I wish their was a detector for mold but it’s a slow release if is a slow leak. Anyways good video and I’m glad your spreading awareness 😊 I’ve been carnivore for over a year now. I do have some chocolate, coffee, black tea and some supplements but for the most part I am. It’s been very healing for me. Prior to trying this I should mention I ate very clean. Very low processed, no fast foods, bad sugars etc.
Thank you for sharing this! It's so true what you mentioned about other hidden dangers. Mold is a really bad one and I too wish it was easier to detect. It is shocking how fast mold grows and spreads. I had a water softener leak months ago and within a day we had mold growing in so many places in that small room. I had to tear out flooring, drywall and some framing. I still need to repair it. Definitely need to spread awareness on all of these things. Also, it's wonderful to hear that you're doing well eating carnivore!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ❤
Thank you so much!
Hey Holly, good to see another video from you. I didn’t know you used to have so many illnesses; I feel bad to hear that you went through all this but I am glad you are feeling better now. Do you have a health practitioner who guides you take these steps to heal yourself or you do it on your own? ❤❤❤
Thanks, and it's ok! Thank you for such a kind comment. I currently do have an amazing functional medicine doctor, but it takes 6 mos. to get into see her, so she doesn't help with everything. I'll update her when I see her again though. 🙏🙏🙏
Great Video just another reason to stay carnivore..into my 3rd week..was having stomach issues for the last year ..feeling much better now..not looking to lose weight ..at 6 ft 185 hitting the gym more..63 never felt so good..

Happy Birthday, a little late but now seeing your upload , best wishes xxx
Thank you Jeff!
Reff' .. And your very welcome, thanks for all your good rsearch n info....@@LifeDIY
This is good. As a Army Veteran who goes to the VA, I’m super curious to hear other people’s experiences there.
I know they toss the meds at people like M & Ms 🍭
can't wait to see more results. im 3 weeks in :)
Hello, newly subbed to your account. Glad to see a new carnivore out here.
Thanks and welcome!
Hi Holly! You look beautiful! I love hearing about other's diets, so this video was very interesting. I too have played with my diet over the years because of ongoing health issues. I agree that low carb is great. I have major blood sugar issues and have to avoid most sugars, though I do try to keep in some carbs, as I'm underweight right now and need the energy! Please keep sharing how you're doing and maybe even do a video on the meals you make! ♥
Thank you, Lauren! It's so nice to see your comment. I 100% understand where you're coming from because I am nearly underweight myself. I don't think that is shows it on camera for me, but I am right there with you. I am 5'2 and around 102+/-. I absolutely don't want to lose any weight either. I would prefer to get more fit and gain some muscle tone. So I will see how this goes. I may have only lost 1 lb from doing this, but weight fluctuates so much that I don't really count that. I think it's because I was already pretty low carb, or because I am probably eating more now. I'll see what happens. I want to heal my stomach more and then I can see what to do after that as I'd like to use this as a real elimination diet. :) I hope you have a great weekend!
I jst watched 1 of her, Castor Oil Packs with Queen of The Thrones, it's was on a dr podcast interview her & another lady, stop chasing pain, she talks abt SO MUCH of ur issues & how she evolved ❤
I think ur brother is a great inspiration, & I'm trying so hard to get a grip on full carnivore! I'm 65 & and a sugar addict thank u for ur stories
Thank you! Even if you don't do full carnivore, it's alright! Many people start out by cutting out gluten, then eventually doing keto. Keto can be so healthy too. All the little improvements can make a big difference and before you know it, you'll stop having any cravings! I've noticed that so often we turn to snacks when hungry, when we'd be a lot healthier by replacing that with a meal - just some eggs, bacon, etc. I didn't realize I was often doing that in the past. You should check out Dr. Cywes on youtube - he has such excellent content on keto and carnivore.
Great video. I used to suffer from sleep paralysis too. Horrendous! I’m loving carnivore so far. 2 months in, and not going back!
Wonderful video thank you
I used to wake up paralyzed it was so scary
I have hashimotos too. Its been out of control, I've tried to lower my thyroid antibodies (should be under 9, mine are 900) first i cut out dairy and gluten. I felt better, but the blood tests were just as bad as before. So out of desperation i started carnivore 3 weeks ago. So far I feel so much better. I also bought a red light (mitored adapt) because the red light "studies" had some really promising results on thyroid.
I ran across a double blind study with red light that helps lower glucose levels. My body is so screwed up. I just need to try anything.
Thank you for your video, it's always inspiring to hear other people fighting their hashimotos and improving their health
41? Amazing. Thanks for sharing your story ❤
Kerry bought me here! Congratulations!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing ,awesome story , keto and carnivore are life changing , you look 10 years younger than your age
Thanks, Doug! Yeah I am a big fan of low carb and the benefits. :)
Holy Crap - You're 41? Amazing! I am just starting my journey; it's been just a few days but I do miss fruit.
Thanks! I hope you're doing well. The cravings will go away eventually. :)
Just subscribed for one reason. You look like you are 20. I can’t believe you are 41. Not that 41 is old but dang girl you look so young!
Good for the two of you
Thank you for sharing!! I am also 41 and have Hashimoto’s, and a host of other issues. I have been carnivore almost 60 days and have had some incredible improvements in my health. Sometimes those of us with autoimmune issues just have to go extreme to get results.
Welcome to the carnivore community!
I'm 28 and I'm on day 6 of carnivore, today I woke up feeling the best I can remember in my life. Btw, you really look like you're in your 20s... maybe your poor health conditions messed hard with you self esteem (just like mine), because you don't seem to understand you're way prettier than you think. I mean, to me you look amazing in both left and right pictures lol. You and your brother have really good appearance genes, big eyes and stuff. Thanks for sharing and good luck to us!
Congrats on on becoming healthier!! I started carnivore on January 1st of this year. I am no longer pre-diabetic, I've lost 75 lbs, and got off my blood pressure meds.
Amazing to hear this! Thanks for sharing. My mom got off her blood pressure meds too (and statins).
That is outstanding!! Congrats to her as well.@@LifeDIY

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂
Thank you!
You are beautiful God bless you thank you for sharing this amazing story ❤
You are literally so beautiful and radiant
Well you definitely solved the problem because you look a lot younger than 41. Such inspiration 👏👏👏
Thank you! I feel better too!
Keep doing what works!!
Thank you Holly for sharing your health journey. I’ve followed your amazing brother and his incredible kindness toward Bill In Alaska! Sounds like your family is really helping people. You probably know this but Dr. Ken Berry’s wife, Neisha has been dealing with thyroid problems. Maybe her experience can help you. By the way you absolutely don’t look 41 - you could pass for someone in their twenties. Blessings to you and your family.
Nalani, thank you for such a nice comment and for checking out my video. I like watching Neisha's videos too, but haven't watched in a while. I will go back and check them out again - thank you! 🙏
Hi Holly. Great video. I have been doing carnivore ish on and off for past 3 years. One thing I noticed is at one point the body odor went away and I didn't need to wear deodorant. Now that I might have some vegetables every now and then, sometimes I notice some body odor forming depending on what I eat. Fruit doesn't seem to create a problem for me as long as I don't eat too much.
You might want to include some bone broth made the old fashioned way so it has both collagen and gelatinized protein in it which will help your gut as well as your skin and hair.
Spencer, thanks for sharing this! That is so interesting about the deodorant. I just keep hearing all these stories of amazing improvements. I love your advice on including bone broth. I am just about to drink some now. I made it yesterday! It is really helpful and soothing if your stomach is upset. I used to make it so much more often. I want to try to have it on hand all the time. I like to drink some of it daily.
also you look wonderful and cognition seems GREAT Praise GOD , hes helped me too after 15 yrs of chronic illness . I can so relate to your story
Wow, thank you! I am so happy for you too! 🙏
Hi Holly! I just found your channel and from the depths of my soul, I really, really love it! Lol you made me laugh.
I've been on a health journey too after struggling with IBS, gallbladder, and adrenal gland issues so your content is very helpful to me. I've cut carbs and gluten and you are right it helps so much! The thing I'm still struggle with is inflammation in my face like you had. I've been diagnosed with Rosacea and adult acne. I'm eating really clean, I just don't know why it's not going away? I'm hoping the carnivore diet will help.
With regard to your thyroid, I've heard foods with vitamin B12, D and Iodine help and stay away from foods with soy, sodium, walnuts, and all the processed seed oils. You probably know all this, but maybe there's something there that can help.
Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Hi Dave! Thank you for such a nice comment. I really hope your issues improve. You mentioned adrenal issues and I can relate to that. Have you ever done a DUTCH Complete test? It's how I discovered some issues with cortisol years back. I am about to do the test again this week. It's so comprehensive and will also tell you about all your hormone levels. If you're ever thinking of doing the test, you can get it at DHA Labs online, they are about $150 cheaper than other sites.
Whenever people have issues with their skin like rosacea and acne, I immediately think about dairy as the problem. I've seen family members dealing with acne and it's crazy how quickly they get breakouts after eating dairy. Many people don't even consider it, if they aren't lactose intolerant. I think many people find that it's a cause of their skin issues once they cut it out, but it's hard for people to do that. Maybe you already have though? :) Doing this carnivore experiment has been helpful for me to realize different sensitivities and to become more aware of my habits. I also think that just doing keto (without the terrible processed keto products) can be incredible for health. Thanks for the tips for the thyroid! And thanks for subscribing! 🙏
Holly, thanks for all the great info! I'm doing much better with everything except my face, oh the shame! I cut dairy several years ago, except for Ice cream late at night, BUT... in moderation ;) You could be right about the dairy so I'm going to cut it. Deep breath, exhale.
I don't recal hearing about the DUTCH test, but to be honest I took so many tests and never got a clear answer. I've lost faith in the mainstream greed care industry. I won't rant, but I want to. So, I try to find resources I can trust (like your channel) and learn what I can and adjust my diet accordingly and take key supplements. Also, leaving a high stress job I hated and starting a home base business I love has been a necessary part of my improvement, especially for my adrenal glands.
I will checkout DHA Labs! It seems like a great resource. I like the idea of going direct to a lab and not having a middle man (aka Dr.) There's a respected Holistic DO in my area, but it's hard to get in.
Sorry for the long message.
Thanks again for all your help! God bless!
Thought I'd post an update on the results of going mostly carnivore the past 3 months. It's been a absolute Game Changer! I've dropped 15 lbs, my Rosacea and acne are 90% gone. I've tested eating sugar, carbs, and dairy and find it's about portion control. If I were to cut them out 100% my Rosacea and acne would probably go away completely. But for me it's hard to be 100% carnivore, and having a diet that has enough variety is important so I can stick with it. I haven't done any blood work because the results have been enough to validate the diet.
I recommend if you have any health or even mental health conditions or know someone who is, research carnivore and give it a try. Be willing to stick with it for at least 3 months. So many are seeing great results. This is a great channel for education, also Dr Ken Berry.
Wauw, i never knew Kerry was/is your brother 😍. I have been doing Carnivore for my Sibo treatment. I had the insomnia too, that is why is stopped, because i am dealing with long covid symptoms. Tried to eat some fat before bedtime, did not worked for me :). So pleased to see you doing Carnivore ❤️. I would love to know what you did for treating your Sibo? Lots of love from the Netherlands 🫂
I feel like this is a small world, thanks to UA-cam! I'm so happy you commented! For SIBO, it's something I was diagnosed with a few years ago, though ia accidentally added it to my list of issues from ages ago. I didn't take the doc's treatment of antibiotics as I was worried about side effects. I ended up using candibactin AR and candibactrin BR - two supplements to help with treating it. I took them for about 8 months - so a long time! At that time I was eating low carb.
I think by eating carnivore, you'll quickly clear the bacteria out of the stomach. I think it can be done with low carb too. Even if mine is currently not detectable (ie: no overgrowth of bacteria) I don't think that means it's healed yet. I've heard it can take quite some time to repair the stomach after SIBO. I was just watching a video by a doctor talking about this, but I can't seem to find the link. I still can't tolerate most vegetables. Do you have that too? That's why I will continue doing this for a while longer. I am sorry you had the sleep issues too. I keep waking up so early now - 4:45 AM or 5:00 AM. What happened with your sleep? And, I am sorry you're dealing with long covid symptoms too. I cannot imagine. Sending you love from Wisconsin! 🌲🙏
Carnivore is such a great choice for overall health. You really had a long list of health problems. So glad you found Carnivore.
Thank you so much, Kipp! For me, most of my long list of issues were solved by going low carb (gluten and dairy free) over time. But, I am hoping to continually improve and I've learned a lot from carnivore so far. I just wanted to share that because for some people it's really hard to go full carnivore or full elimination diet. So even if they can remove certain things one at a time, that's better than nothing and can make a big difference!
💌Great information,thanks
Thank you!
Amazing
Thanks for the encouragement 😁 I'm 17 days into ketovore and I really needed this inspiration. I have very little energy at the moment, I'm waiting for my body to get used to the fat metabolism.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm sorry to hear about the low energy. You know, I went through this as well when I was adapting to carnivore, but it would fluctuate, so I stuck with it. I think ketovore is such a great way to eat and it's so incredibly healthy and less restrictive than carnivore. Did you eat keto prior to this?
@@LifeDIY I went from high carb/sugar straight to carnivore. So it makes sense my body is struggling with it a bit 😅
Yeah, for sure! @@MAzurburg
Happy Belated Birthday 😘🥰❤❤❤🎁🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀
@life&diy Holly!🌬️💚Awww, Girl, you could tell people you’re 21 no one would blink!🤩You’re my Gluten-free/Dairy Free Sis! It has made all the difference for me too. Elimination diets are hell but so informative! I’m happy you’ve gotten some great results. In the meantime, you’re working your way up to being your own functional health specialist - something we all need to be! We need a catch up! I’ll text you! Miss you!🤍💚🤍xo
Cheryl! 🙏 I am so happy to see your comment here. I am definitely your GF DF sis over here! It's pretty incredible what a difference that can make, alone. Then tweak things even further and it's amazing what can happen! We should definitely catch up sometime. I always love chatting with you. 🤗
@@LifeDIY 😘
I just got to the part of the video where you said who your bro is. I can't wait til the documentary is finished. I have been a carnivore for 1 year now. It's the absolute best thing I've ever done for myself. Does that mean you're also in Wisconsin? Hello from Milwaukee. I hope to make the drive to go to your bro's theater and hope to get the chance to chat with him sometime
Hey Eric! I used to live in Milwaukee too. I'm way up north now, but still (barely) in Wisconsin. That's great if you can make it to the theater sometime!
@@LifeDIY I was just driving up around the UP a few weeks ago. I was helping my sister pick up a car from my aunt's land in Escanaba. It is so beautiful up there! My son wants to go back to the Kids Kingdom playground again in Gladstone. I'm thinking we'll wait for good swimming weather for that though.
I've done carnivore diet for 5 years and I feel great. All my health problems are gone and I have so much energy 😃💪🏽🕺
Awesome!
I literally thought you were 25yrs max. Started keto 3 days ago, I feel unstoppable.
Awesome to hear about keto! And, thank you. 🙏
