Disclaimer: we are not recommending that you try the carnivore diet. Cameron is merely sharing her experience. Please check with your medical doctor before trying something like this.
One thing to keep in mind is that the proteins in meat (and all animal products) activate a pathway to cause you to age more quickly and that only happens with plant proteins when you consume to much. See the studies cited in the book: How not to age.
It's easy: stick to things that have only 1 ingredient (you can throw them together obviously for a meal) I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks 💟
I feel great and have lost about 70 Lbs and have dropped my A1C from 9.9 to 6.9 since March ‘23 (writing this in Dec ‘23). No longer on high blood pressure and now work out an hour daily with ease… at age 66!
I have autoimmune issues and diabetes and was on 17 prescription meds. I’ve been carnivore for 3 years now and I am on zero meds and feel great. I was able to stop all meds within the first 9 months. Great job 🎉
Well worth it! I've tried to get friends to look into it, but then they look at me "you're just naturally fit." Sorry, I'm not, do it and reap the benefits! I too, all prescriptions in the garbage! Think most people don't believe me, oh well.
I've been doing lion diet for 6mos now and I only eat Ribeye steak for every meal. Nothing else. I'm off all my autoimmune disease meds! I've completely reversed Lupus and mixed connective tissue disorder and mass activation syndrome. I feel so amazing I thought I was going to die and was ready to because I was suffering so bad. I'm so grateful for lion diet. It has saved my life!
@@wendycarter5718 no snacks, desserts, fruits, veggies, cheeses, drinks. these are costly. for me i saved a lot of grocery cost. i buy meat, eggs, sardinea,butter- that's it!
I've been on the Lion Diet almost 1 year now with great success. I have mental health problems that have been dramatically improved even when put under far worse conditions. As a faithful Catholic, I really appreciate this content focusing on health and the body, with some push back against certain shortcomings in our medical system while pointing toward possible life changing solutions. A personal Catholic friend of mine from Harvard, an integrative medicine doctor, first turned me on to all this years ago. Then another Harvard grad, psychiatrist Dr.Christopher Palmer came out with his amazing cutting edge book on this topic called "Brain Energy". I've since been following Neurosurgeoun Dr.Anthony Chaffee on UA-cam to learn more and really perfect my ee lifestyle. Health of body is in service to God, and family as Camerone said. And for all our marriages, purity, travels and happy meetings... St.Raphael- pray for us!
I have been doing this for 7 months now ,I have a very bad allergy, that makes my tongue swell when I come in contact with the allergens, which is a preservative, natural ,and artificial ,also a flavoring, So it's in drinks,and dressings ,spices, and lots of process foods ,it's balsam of Peru, (a tree) also related allergens, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, My tongue would be swollen and sting 3 weeks out of a month until I did Carnivore ,I have been suffering for 16 years with this and the carnivore life has healed my suffering now. As well as many other issues i have had like ibs,.and diabetes, brain fog ,and more, Thank God, relief feels so good. Don't stop it only gets better with a carnivore life style.

I started carnivore 10 months ago to reverse t2 diabetes. Not only have I reversed it, but I'm down 25kg and fitter than I've been in decades. I absolutely love hearing how others are benefiting from a Proper Human Diet.
Knowing, as a fan, about Mrs. Fradd’s health issues. The second I saw the Carnivore headline, this is exactly what I expected as the result. Blessed be God, and his never ending love for us.
I am a 58 year old woman and started carnivore January 2023. Have lost fat, gained muscle and joint pain is gone. Best thing Ive ever done for myself! Congrats Cameron!!!
I'm 58 woman too. Started keto almost 3 yrs ago. I don't have any illness other than join pain, and keto made them disappear. When I cheated for few days, they came back, like a reminder for me to be good.
I am also a carnivore. I’ve been on this “proper human diet” for 5 months for weight loss and autoimmune issues. It has helped me tremendously, though friends and family think I’m crazy! So glad to hear this is helping you. Thank God! P.S. -I do drink one cup of coffee with whole cream per day. I don’t drink tea because of the oxalates.
I have been doing carnivore since the end of October and I have had such amazing results. 17 lbs lost, my depression/anxiety is almost completely gone, sleeping through the night, neuropathy pain in hands gone, chronic back pain almost gone and my skin has cleared up to the point my wife has even taken notice. Blood pressure and pulse have also improved. It’s sad that so many continue to turn to the old, politically driven, government subsidized food pyramid which is making so many Americans sick. Then ethically, a lot of ppl don’t understand how much farming kills so many animals through tillage and pesticides.
This episode was such a gift and speaks almost exactly to my story. I grew up with unexplained chronic illness and got married to my wonderful husband at 18. I couldn't work for a years and had to give up so many dreams because of severe illness and pain. We have been married 5 years and just entered the catholic church last Easter. I've felt so much grief through infertility, debilitating illness and severe mental health issues, but the catholic faith has given me such perspective, hope and purpose in this cross. I recently started primarily eating carnivore in the last couple weeks and I can actually keep my eyes open, I've lost excess weight and feel a lot better, however I haven't been strict enough with it and I'm having an awfully unpleasant flare up this evening. This gives my husband and I the push to go further.
Something that helps me when I'm craving good food (especially rn, my fam baking cookies every single day 😭) has been imagining myself offering up the craving to God like a little girl would offer flowers that she's picked in a garden. I know that the mortification brings Him joy and grant me virtue. And so the smell of the cookies is sweet and I am happy.
This is me. Mold is a super important factor. Food is important. I've also learned about limbic system/nervous system retraining.the hardest part is not having people believe me or think I'm being too extreme when I'm trying to survive.
I have watched videos where infertility issues turn completely around when on the carnivore diet. I think I’ve seen videos of 3 different women saying they became pregnant after being on this way of eating (I can’t remember who they are bc I’m out of the child bearing age but I do remember hearing them say it). Good luck on your health journey ❤️
@@brittney3156yesssss!!!!!!!! Mold illness here too, it’s the root of all my diagnoses/ailments! WhT limbic system retraining program did you go with?? I have DNRS here but haven’t gotten past the third dvd (there are 8). I also am a member of Sarah Jackson’s program (but have slacked off 😨). Are you catholic? I wish there was a catholic brain rewiring program out there
Been on Keto with intermittent fasting and it's been life changing. 2 years strong. Depression and anxiety gone, sleeping better, weird aches and pains gone and better mental clarity.
Cameron is my hero. I was so touched by this story...wow, you are a warrior!!! Praying for you all. Thank you for sharing. It was really encouraging hearing you say that you do not feel bad being "picky". Because you are NOT being picky. You just have to care for yourself. I have health issues that make eating with other people just so...frustrating. And I have felt bad asking so many questions at restaurants. I Just cannot stand eating out!! I was called a picky eater once and almost cried. It is not picky...one of my organs literally does not work. But this interview encouraged me so much!
Love you guys! What an answer to prayer. Carnivore is miraculously healing me too! It’s hard to realize how much we’ve been suffering until we are free from so many physical ailments and limitations. Glory to God! I’m so very very happy for you.
I’m only 7 mins in and Cameron has said something so profound that I think most of us gloss over. She went to daily Mass and would need a nap right after. Unless you have lived this, you have no idea how debilitating this illness is where you cannot even attend a 30-45 min Mass without needing a nap. I have days where I drive my 30 mins to church and have to nap for 10-15 mins in the car just to make it through Mass. God bless you Cameron. Okay off to listen to the rest. **im hoping you can re-inspire me to attempt carnivore again as it makes me pretty nauseous.
The early stages of going carnivore can make you nauseous as you’re probably not digesting fat well/whilst getting fat adapted. If you push through it, you’ll be fine. You can also take ox bile or betaine to help during this transitory period.
The early stages of going carnivore can make you nauseous as you’re probably not digesting fat well/whilst getting fat adapted. If you push through it, you’ll be fine. You can also take ox bile or betaine to help during this transitory period. The human brain is composed of 60% fat and the functions of fat, like sheathing your mitochondria, are crucial. Not being able to digest (animal) fat is not a good thing and because all of the important biological functions that require fat, I’d definitely advise to “push through it” and offer it up. The nausea isn’t forever. 😁
I'm so glad to see you say this! I discovered a couple of years ago that I get super-nauseated and sick whenever I overdo it on fat. I've never heard anyone else mention this, so I'm glad I'm not the only one!@@sandylgb
I didn’t know this was a thing. What Cameron is describing, beef butter and salt is what the majority of midwestern farmers and ranchers have eaten for generations. I grew up on a farm where we also ran a cow calf herd. We ate beef every single day. Either as steak or hamburger or roast. Glad to hear it’s helped her and never understood where the “meat is bad for you” mentality came from.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, conversion disorder, and non-epileptic seizures. These are all skeptical in the medical field of course and I have little to no answers. So I’m my own science experiment trying to figure it out with my nurse mom and doctor. I am so thankful for yall talking about health as people who are going through it. It makes me feel not so alone in it.
My wife has been dealing with auto-immune issues for 30 years. One of her favorites things in tea--Black Tea. We found an article online that suggested Black Tea contributes to joint inflammation. Once she eliminated the Black Tea and night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant), the joint pain is easier to deal with. God bless you, Cameron Fradd!
I have autoimmune disease as well. I've been on the lion diet for 6 months now only eating ribeye steaks and eggs. I'm now off ALL meds. Pain free completely. It's changed my life. Your wife should try it. I feel so amazing.
Oxalates! Also related to kidney stones as someone else said. Oxalates give me headaches. When I’m oxalate dumping I also get mouth sores and skin rashes.
Praise the Lord for carnivore. I am 67 and have followed it for over a year and I am at my normal bodyweight and I take no medication whatsoever. I have incredible energy. Thank you so much for your podcast!
Wow i had never heard of camerons health struggles before... i cant imagine how hard that is living with a chronic illness to the point of not being able to stand/kneel at mass. I am just so impressed at her positive outlook and so so happy she found carnivore and that is helping her heal!
This is so edifying. I am just totally taken of the Love and communion between Matt and Cameron. Working with many married couples, seeing these two communicate is just incredible. Love these two.
@@lglge611 It made my emotions much more level and I wasn't prone to mood swings into anger and despair anymore. It released me from really bad brain fog that was linked to my depression. It made me far less anxious even though my external stress increased. The difference (for me) in mental health was spectacular and I went from suicidal to being motivated to the point of being offered up to 3 full days of overtime a week. In addition, mental health was also boosted by the other positive effects, like no bloating, getting leaner, and getting more muscular.
I did lots of home fermented foods for a few years, which significantly helped my gut! I started carnivore a month ago, and it’s helped me have more energy! Some times it’s easy, but my carb/ bread addiction is hard some days.
I hear you. I promise it gets better. Like Mikhaila Peterson says, “nothing tastes better than how I feel.” I would t trade feeling good/energetic/health for even the tastiest baguette or cake.
@@j2muw667 the only reason why you have more energy is because it is new and your mind gets all excited when you're doing something new that you want to do. If your body is raving carbs and bread it is because you NEED it. Please go have some you deserve it
@@j2muw667 Maybe you're just in a calorie surplus now, which is why you feel like you have more energy? Scott Jurek is one of the leading ultra marathon runners in the world. He's also a vegan. He couldn't do what he does if he didn't consume the amount of calories needed to sustain energy at that high level. Energy has more to do with calories than anything else. If the Carnivore diet gave you more energy, you'd probably be able to name at least one top level athlete that follows the diet, but you can't.
You’re gaining muscle, cartilage, connective tissue, bone density, etc. carnivore or even real food keto are meant to optimize weight. Those who need to lose weight will lose & those who need to gain will gain. I’m so happy you are feeling well. It will only get better from here.
I have done carnivore for a month at a time just to gain temperance! It's so specific, and you need discipline to do it. Plus, it cleans up our diets. I'm glad to hear that prayers for healing are being answered for you, Cameron! God bless ❤
You two are an incredible couple - I think it’s so healthy for people to be able to see podcasters interview their partners and see in depth conversations between two people where the conversation has depth love and respect to it. Love you guys and thank you sharing! ❤
I’m also carnivore for autoimmune disorders. I did it for a year then experimented for another year and came back in August. Everyone comments how skinny I am (like my first round of carnivore) and how my skin glows. I experimented with ridding coffee from my diet for 3 months and it made no difference. I’m happy that I can handle it (love it) and like Cameron, am selective with my beans and consume the coffee package in a month (as it does spoil). I handle butter and ghee great (yes, because it’s lower in lactose which does cause issues for many). I do eat cheese (mostly goat cheeses). Beef does in fact have all of the vitamins/nutrients and amino acids we need to thrive (even trace amounts of vit c- especially in liver). Magnesium/electrolyte supplementation is crucial for success and also recommend a good D/K supplement (like Thorne’s as it’s in MCT oil) as MOST people are deficient in. When I go for sushi with friends I’ll get sashimi with a dip of a wasabi aioli or some other sort of flavorful dip for a smidge of garnish. This is also my new normal and prefer to offer up this sacrifice (of all other foods I enjoy) to God (he and the saint’s sacrificed so much more) and for my health/being able to function!
I have a friend who has more than a couple of autoimmune diseases & started this in February or March. She's graaaaadually added other real food a bit at a time but she is flourishing again. Keep listening to your body!!
You two are awesome, thank you for sharing. I've been on carnivore for 9 months and the results have far exceed any expectations. Sleep apnea, snoring, joint pain, head aches are all gone.Even experiencing improvement in my eyesight. Lost over 50 lbs, and now getting the best sleep. Waking up between 4-5 am every morning (before the alarm goes off) feeling refreshed and ready to go. Butter and salt have been very helpful, but the best results are coming from beef. Keep it up and best of luck. God bless.
I love Cameron. I'm glad you're getting back on track and are experiencing a healing. I know what it's like using a walker. MS is a humbling disease. I've had to ask people who are old enough to be my parents to help me walk a couple of feet. I hope you continue to get better.
This is the first episode I've watched, and am so happy it came up in my feed. What a blessing you both are; not only in information about the carnivore diet, but primarily seeing your faith! Thank you for sharing both.
We've been Carnivore since June and have each lost 20# each. I was hoping you would try this Diet as we are now so much healthier! And I am also off my blood pressure med. Praise God that you found this 🥰
I've done carnivore as well. It is amazing how it wakes your body up. I'm not as strict anymore, so I guess I'm paleo now, but I credit it with giving me a good amount of healing to build on. If I start to suffer again, I'll go back to it. I'm so happy for you Cameron!
This was such an intimate, and helpful view into the process. For someone with trauma and chronic illness as well as food issues, this has been God sent. Thanks Cameron! Xx And Matt of course!
Your channel just popped up on my feed after watching Carnivore Doctor with Dr Lisa. I'm so happy for your progress on the Carni way of eating. As you continue, you will heal more, but it does take time for your body to heal years of toxic eating. It's sad that those in charge of informing the public what to eat to stay healthy are lying to us. I've been trying to go full 100% Carni for almost 2 years because I have carb addictions. I'm currently 90/10 Carni 90% & 5%veg & 5% carbs. My journey to Carni is to heal Obesity & Obesity related illnesses. Not as difficult as your journey has been. But hang in there & can't wait to hear more on your healing. Sounds like 2024 will be your year 🙏🏻
I did carnivore for a short time and felt GREAT. Like a fool, I went off of it and all my health issues came back with a vengeance. I'm planning to start again in the new year. I'm so happy for you!
The closer you stay to carnivore, the better you'll feel. Which is more important to you today, the enjoyment of treats or the great feeling of health? The good thing is this way of eating will be there when you're ready again.
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year, 2 months, and 1 week now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
I've been researching for 2 years now, and I truly believe this is the nudge I've needed. Still recovering from hysterectomy where they found endometriosis, cysts, other issues. I God,I hear you!
@@amymiller4381 watch also Dr. Kiltz weekday mornings at 4am CST for Q&A. He is trained OBGYN carnivore doc and talks about plants causing all you mentioned
thank you so much for sharing your experience Jennifer. It is really incredible and I am glad you feel great! I am really confused, because on one hand I would love to try it (we have the same age), but at the same time I have been diagnosed with gallstones (and I tend to get high cholesterol easily if I don't eat well) so the doctor told me to avoid everything that is fatty as I have too many big stones in the gallbladder and they want me to take it out all together. I am trying to reverse the situation with a strict food regime (similar to keto I would say) and I am scared that with the carnivore diet will get worse because of the fat built up in the gallbladder. Also I never heard that some vegs can cause serious problems, normally they tell you red cow meat causes cancer. What about other stuff like carrots, celeriac, spinach, etc? Are they ok?
Loved your story! First time on your channel. I'm a carnivore, it's been awesome for my autoimmune and gut issues~85% improved! I've been on this journey 5+years, never going back.
I have loved this episode!! Cameron you look ans sound amazing! Carnivore has been an amazing healing modality for myself (epilepsy, PCOS, insulin resistance, anxiety, laot 80 lbs, skin, and more) and mamy of my clients. I look forward to hearing more.
Been carnivore 9 months! Have lost 120 lbs and am able to do so much more than I could before! I can run a faster mile than what I could in high school
@@gilbertslam I personally can’t afford health insurance right now so I haven’t gotten to get my cholesterol checked- but I am not worried about it based on the studies that say show fat and cholesterol doesn’t clog your arteries. I use an Apple Watch and my heart rate is normal. I can run on the treadmill for up to 5 miles. My endurance is better and my run time is better than when I was in high school.
I refused to have my thyroid gland remove for a cancerous thyroid nodule back in Summer of 2022 and decided to try low carb instead. I started out Keto then turned Carnivore in April 2023. Doctors thought I was crazy, but last visit the endocrinologist said to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. Why? Because I took myself off levothyroxine since going Carnivore (after being on it for 20 years) and my lab results were normal. Additionally, after the last ultrasound, the nodule went from a TR5 (the worst) to a TR4, so I seem to be headed in the right direction. It's great to see fellow Catholics aboard the Carnivore train! Thank you for sharing your story, Cameron.
I’m 20 right now and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism right after I turned 17 years old. I’ve been dealing with thyroid issues, hormonal imbalance, severe hormonal acne, anxiety and depression for 3 years now and I’m going to start the carnivore diet. I’m hoping that my issues can be healed because it’s hard dealing with this at such a young age
@@madelyn2478 Just in case it might help, two books that were life-changing for me & a few other suggestions for anxiety & depression: 1) Anxiety, Phobias, and Panic, by Reneau Z. Peurifoy 2) Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, by David Burns 3) Frequent confession (btwn every week/2 weeks to a month) and go to daily Mass as much as possible 4) Some anxiety & depression can be induced by evil spirits, so you can also pick a couple of protection prayers from "Deliverance Prayers for the Laity" by Catholic exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger, and follow the protocol from "The Liber Christo Method: A Field Manual for Spiritual Combat" by Dan Schneider (Fr. Ripperger's assistant) 4) Daily **full** Rosary throughout the day (at least all the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious mysteries, maybe add on another set of mysteries as well) 5) Read the Bible daily and do daily ***Catholic*** mental prayer (which is NOT Eastern meditation!)... see GabiAfterHours on UA-cam for more info. He's so helpful! God bless you and your loved ones. I pray that God brings you health and healing.
My husband and I both started carnivore diet in August. All peri-menopause symptoms I was having are all gone, all join pain and inflammation is gone, we have so much energy, we have better sleep, my bloating and digestive issues are all gone, and no more heartburn. I haven’t had a migraine since we started the diet! I feel better at 41 than I did when I was in my 20’s or even teens!
If so they would have cut out all sugar and excess carbs which are the bane of the SAD (Standard American Diet). Eliminating those alone would have caused serious weight loss.
So glad to hear this conversation: my hubby and I started carnivore 10 weeks ago and yes, I still do coffee with heavy cream and unsweet iced tea. But do not miss the old way of eating-loads of benefits. BTW Dr Anthony Chafee is a board certified neuro surgeon and he is an American residing in Australia. Dr Ken Berry is also a great follow for carnivore information and talking to your doctor.
@@johnbanasiak3720 I've not been able to really get behind Paul Saladino, I've found he has a lot of conflicting videos and is constantly moving the goalposts regarding what is and isn't a good food choice. Given he eats fruits and honey, etc now he can't honestly be referred to as "Carnivore MD" anymore. He's also always looked unhealthy to me, especially compared to the other popular Carnivore advocates like Dr. Chafee, etc. He looks ill in the same way a lot of vegans do imo.
For those unfamiliar with the carnivore diet, it is technically zero-carb keto using animal products only, uses fat as the main energy source so relies on fatty meat rather than lean meat, along with eggs, fish, milk etc, anything from an animal. It works as a mono-food healing diet that restores your gut initially which has the consequence of normalising your body and your weight. There is a 2-6 week adaption phase where your stools may be looser than normal, this almost always passes. Most people continually lose weight until they hit their optimal weight, one caveat is that from many comments I have read cheese tends to stall weight loss, being both kind of addictive and very calorie dense. I just completed over 100 days on it and am convinced it is a sustainable healing diet, my main plan is eating twice per day, bacon or steak and eggs fried in butter for brunch, ground beef patties for dinner, with celtic salt added and plenty of filtered water throughout the day a glass or three of full cream milk along with the meals. NO HUNGER and continual weight loss and healing of my psoriasis, plus complete healing of my gut No real thought required or hardship I will make up a video playlist and add it in a comment here, it fixes depression, MS, extreme obesity, boils and many other almost untreatable maladies that medicine seems stumped on
Just to add a caveat - it’s more of a weight optimization diet than a weight loss diet. People that are too thin tend to gain some weight after they’ve adjusted to it and have lost excess water weight from inflammation.
Thank you for sharing this story! Very encouraging! I am 33 with IBS- quite badly, joint pain, weight loss, hair loss, no energy, bad GI symptoms. I went through several treatments and nothing worked. I have been on carnivore for a year and could gain back my life. I also miss so many other foods but having my life back is worth it.
Wow, what a moving testimony, I was brought to tears when you heard the Priests singing at your bedside when you were near death. It's amazing miraculous recovery Cameron. Keep up the good work. I started Carnivore 10 months ago for various health issues and it's been quite positive. I can't see turning back. Planning on doing the Lion Diet for the month of January❣️Be blessed on the road to recovery 🙏😇💜You and your husband are a beautiful team♥️♥️
Cameron, WOW! I struggle with chronic pain and broad diagnosisis (how do you make that plural haha) too and I'm just so inspired by your witness. My take away from this video is that you never let it stop you - walking with a cane in Rome, going on trips with your husband in a wheel chair. It's just inspirational to know that you fought hard for an abudant life despite many obstables! May God be glorified in the grace that he gave you to show up when and how you needed to for your husband, children and what GOd was doing in your life. Blessings, Natalia
I cannot say how happy I am for you two! It warms my heart to see and hear how well you are doing Cameron. Keep up the great work. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ! ❤
I was just diagnosed with all these things this year - endometriosis, POTS, hEDS, MCAS, celiac, migraines etc. - after many years of suffering. Carnivore completely changed my life. Still struggling, but doing so so so much better. And thank you for talking about the challenges that chronic illness can pose to participating in Mass, lenten practices, etc. because sometimes I feel like I've failed at being a Catholic because of how my illness can limit me. My husband related so much to all of Matt's comments too.
Carnivore here as well. Please know, you can't earn salvation so don't worry about being a "good Catholic". My husband raised in school and church Catholic read his Bible and now realizes that he was leading a life of Catholic rules (the Law, mentioned in the Bible) but now he knows freedom of the grace that Jesus died to provide us for salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Once you receive this grace directly from Jesus/God through being repentant (not penance, it is nowhere mentioned in uncorrupted Bibles) your desires will change and you will want to live by the ten commandments but being human we will always struggle therefore the need for grace. We no longer need a mediator after Christ died and Mary is never mentioned as a mediator, nor is she equal to Christ and should never be worshiped. In the Bible the mention of "the queen of heaven" was when the people were admonished for worshiping a false god. 1 Peter 2:4-5 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" My husband had no idea his salvation didn't depend on absolution from a priest and he didn't have to guess or wonder if he was going to heaven until reading: 1 John 5:11-13 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." Praying for you to have freedom to know God personally and never fear your salvation. 🥰🙏
Carnivore over 11 months. I've lost 45 pounds and easily keeping it off. Much easier to control cravings on this diet. I'm glad so many are trying carnivore.
I'd usually recommend people at least ease it up to keto, so some nutrients from the greens can also come in. Also, steak is great with asparagus or broccoli.
@@helpIthinkmylegsaregone I'm not convinced that's necessary. I'm not aware of what nutrients you have to get from plants. Also, many are going many years without them and the profess doing great.
I loved this!! Hope you are even better by now - as I am watching this 4 months later!!! I am eating a carnivore diet most of the time and am slowly healing my body!! I pray you both are nearly well by now!! It is amazing way to eat and get healthy!!
Carnivore is been amazing for my entire family. We’ve lost weight, have more energy and I’ve come off my high blood pressure medication and my thyroid numbers have improved a lot. Best results when I switched to High fat carnivore!
Quercetin is an iron chelator which is very helpful because the root cause of her chronic inflammation is iron dysregulation. The cod liver oil is providing lots of Vitamin A Retinol, which is helping her iron recycling system, among other things. Colostrum has lactoferrin which binds iron (which again, is the underlying issue) and those benefits are incredibly helpful to keep the "iron food" away from pathogens. Curious what you're doing for adequate potassium, Calcium, and Vitamin C, and magnesium. You'd definitely see greater benefits by supplementing copper. Prayers Cameron, for your continued healing. ❤
I’ve been doing carnivore the last two years and it has changed my life for the better in many ways, I’m painfree and off my anti-depressants. Thank you both for this important conversation. You are bringing this to people who have never heard of diet being the major contributor to ailments!
Cameron, butter has a very low amount of lactose. So that's probably why it's ok for you. My mother has several of the conditions you do. And butter is ok for her too. If you wanted to cut out the lactosr completely try clarified butter/Ghee. It's butter with all the flavor but with the lactose removed. It's also really easy to make yourself. On that note thank you so much for sharing your health journey. You have been an answer to prayer in figuring out my mother's health issues as well.
Was weeping through a lot of this video. As someone with EDS and dysautonomia, I am SO happy for you, for both of you! I’ve not suffered nearly what you have but I tend to despair a lot, thank you for helping me know im not alone. You are my inspiration Cameron, God Bless you and your family!
I'm in awe of how beautiful and inspiring your marriage is. Matt can probably relate to St. Joseph more than most. HE is married to a living saint IMHO. Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever.
67 yrs old. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 6 years ago. Changed my way of eating to no sugar, including fruit, no gains, no starches, no seed oils, no processed foods. Almost completely carnivore. Last month my doctor removed my diagnosis. It really is amazing.
I fell into carnivore by accident… one could say… I am highly allergic to all seeds, seed oils and seed seasoning… I literally had to stop eating everything.., I was never a big produce eater to begin with so basically I was eating meats and dairy… found out about carnivore about 3 years ago… I am not totally strict with it.. I still do a lot of baking for my family… I actually have a really hard time eating out because of the seed issues… you would be amazed at how much mustard seed is used in restaurants! Also the butter is not always real butter… I have to make sure it’s not margarine because I will react to the seed oil blended in with the butter. Maybe it’s where I live but I usually have to talk with the chef/cook about my meal because the wait staff doesn’t really know/understand the severity of my allergy… and I have actually had a few restaurants tell me that they do have anything I could eat because of how the food is prepped or mostly pre-seasoned…. I learned to bring my own bags of bacon and tubs of ground beef everywhere… lol 😂 I don’t feel deprived of anything though… I was never a person who needed a lot of “verity” anyway.
Health issues ever since an extreme round of antibiotics… fast forward to doing the gaps protocol - focus on healing and sealing the gut. Would love to chat with Cameron!
Animal based here-which is basically carnivore with some fruit. Feel amazing with improvements in mental health and overall strength and energy. Love this from a Catholic perspective!
I'm a middle-aged man and I had been suffering with gout, joint pain, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and was overweight. After going carnivore (initially keto for a few months) my health has significantly improved. Gout gone. Lost 60 pounds and had to get different clothes and belts. Joint pains gone. Blood pressure is awesome--lower than it has ever been my entire adult life. The A-fib is considerably improved. I also had thought carnivore seemed weird and even a bit crazy when I first heard of it. But now, I'm convinced that what we have been acclimated to think is a normal, healthy diet is completely wrong. The body needs protein and animal fat. We actually do not need to eat any carbohydrates--our bodies can make its own glucose to completely meet our needs. Sugars, carbohydrates (especially processed) and vegetable seed oils over time cause harm to our bodies. When we cut out the junk we don't need and start adopting a more appropriate way of eating for our true physiological needs, the body can begin to repair and heal from years of harm. This takes time. I've seen many anecdotes (especially women) that it can take a year or longer to substantially recover and heal from years of chronic problems. Women especially tend to eat far too little protein and fat for their body's needs. When starting to heal, women can need especially high amounts of animal fat to repair and recover from years of deep-seated issues that need time to heal. And please note: physicians (and all health care providers) do not get adequate training in nutrition. Sadly, they are typically in the dark when it comes to the proper diet for optimal health and healing. The rare doctors who are truly knowledgeable about this learned on their own. The typical education and training in health care is woefully devoid of sound nutrition information.
My doctors are wanting me on high protein to promote healing (i've already lost one leg and they wanted to amputate the other in May), my concern has been for my kidneys as a high protein diet can be hard on them. Think i'll ask them if this could be beneficial. Thank you so much Cameron and Matt for sharing this. ❤️
Do some research on this. Peace of mind is important, and there is not if information about that available. Sometimes what we think we know turns out to not be accurate. Best wishes.
Im pretty sure Dr Berry has addressed this on his channel. Anecdotally, people with kidney problems have had a ton of improvement with carnivore, but that doesn’t mean their doctors have caught up yet. It would seem that protein doesn’t actually hurt your kidneys,
Thank you for sharing. When I was at my worst 1hr long mass was incredible difficult to sit / stand through the lightheaded and fatigue was just crushing. So happy you’re doing better!
An amazing story. Thank you for sharing this and the suffering that you've experienced, as well as your faith and hope, which I'm sure was very deeply tested during these events.
My daughter has EDS, is hyper mobile, has several IBS, can't have grains, sugar, bad oils either. We will research this. Thank you, God Bless you. May God continue to heal you.
Air fryers are a game changer too. I take the fat from my ribeye that isn’t crispy & put it back in for 5 minutes & it is like beef bacon. It is so delicious!!
You are the first person to talk about the joints coming apart issue. My knees did the same. I couldn't take a step somtimes without feeling like my joints just wouldn't support me. My husband thinks I'm just lazy. He isn't inside this body. Fasting and carnivore help tremendously. I also, have considerable hair loss, nearly bald with 3 foot long hair.
This sounds very similar to my story! Mold and Lyme was the reasons I got very sick, and carnivore is why I' m able to live a normal life now. So glad to hear others are benefiting from it.
As a new Catholic carnivore, having amazing results, I have moments of funny thoughts, like when saying the Lord’s Prayer, “give us this day our daily meat!”
I have been carnivore for almost a year, and I am kicking chronic illness to the curb! Crohn's is in remission, limbic system impairment and mental health is improving every day, and recovery from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is going well. Slow and steady as I go, all of the other systemic issues I've had (eg, hormone problems, body aches, overall skin health...the list is LONG) are resolved!!
It’s a sacrifice that while you are practicing it you feel great, but the moment you put down your cross you feel the ramifications. Can we talk about how great your hair looks! Meat for life, baby!!! I don’t care if my “doctor” told me to come off. I feel so much better not under the care of a “doctor” then I do under their care. Glad you have received healing! Your struggle was something! Praise God for 🐮🐄
This was excellent. Cameron thank you for sharing your experience, this is helpful for a similar journey we are on with my husband. Your humility and strength really shine through. God bless you
loved this interview!! watching someone new to carnivore~i had the same reactions to this at first!! but it has really helped my gi issues so far~working on my liver disease also!! i do more ketovore!
3+ years on carnivore and it’s so easy for me these days. I do use THC (don’t recommend) but my injuries from my military days are a little extreme, and I strictly moderate. Glad to see this message spreading more ✌️
The people related to carnivore who Cameron mentioned (if you want to look them up): Kelly Hogan Mikhaila Peterson Dr. Anthony Chaffee Dr. Ken D. Berry
Cameron, it is so refreshing to hear another women let alone a Catholic women who’s battling chronic illness and still remaining steadfast and faithful through it all. It’s very humbling and comforting to watch you share your health struggles. As soon as you said you rely on a walker, in and out of the hospital, and deal with numerous random symptoms, I knew I needed to comment. I’m in my mid 30s, have been struggling with Crohn’s disease for 19 years and on top of that, I’ve developed hypothyroidism, bladder conditions, psoriasis, ecsema, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I may even have PCOS. Ive had two major surgeries and also had to fight for my life nearing death. I constantly need assistance and rely on a walker/wheelchair to get around. So your experience really hits home. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on all kinds of alternatives desperate for any kind of break. And I do agree with Matt, although it’s so beautiful that ppl want to advise and help with your health, it’s very frustrating. I have an educational background in nutrition and studied it just so I can help myself and hopefully help others. I’ve tried many healing diets but currently restricting my diet to mixture of carnivore, specific carbohydrate diet and elemental diet and have discovered some benefits so far. Overall, I’ve noticed a high protein diet with no gluten, dairy, and sugar has always helped me regardless. Anyways, I just want to thank you for having the courage to share all of your negative and positive experiences with your health. I pray you continue to recover and only see improvements ahead of you. God bless! 🙏
Thank you for this! Merry Christmas! I’m breast cancer survivor, after all surgeries, my body is not the same. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I will try carnivore diet by January.
I too started carnivore for Lent this year and I feel 30 years younger. According to my doctor my labs are now “perfect” and I’ve reversed 14 health issues from trivial to serious so far. Carnivore is a health optimization diet and I am so grateful to God that I found it.
Disclaimer: we are not recommending that you try the carnivore diet. Cameron is merely sharing her experience. Please check with your medical doctor before trying something like this.
Of course doctors will reject it. It goes against everything they’ve learned.
One thing to keep in mind is that the proteins in meat (and all animal products) activate a pathway to cause you to age more quickly and that only happens with plant proteins when you consume to much. See the studies cited in the book: How not to age.
It's easy: stick to things that have only 1 ingredient (you can throw them together obviously for a meal)
I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks 💟
I mean even if that’s true, people will die from their chronic illnesses WAY sooner than from aging a bit quicker.
I feel great and have lost about 70
Lbs and have dropped my A1C from 9.9 to 6.9 since March ‘23 (writing this in Dec ‘23). No longer on high blood pressure and now work out an hour daily with ease… at age 66!
Mikhaila once said, 'Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels.' I'm so happy you are feeling better.
I like her! Its an old saying.
I remember years and years ago Oprah said, "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels."
@@uploadingjoy9120obviously that's not true for Oprah because she has yo yo her way up and down the scale. She now is on Ozempic to lose weight.
I agree I was sick 14 years and counting towards health.
I have autoimmune issues and diabetes and was on 17 prescription meds. I’ve been carnivore for 3 years now and I am on zero meds and feel great. I was able to stop all meds within the first 9 months. Great job 🎉
Were you on opiates?
Well worth it! I've tried to get friends to look into it, but then they look at me "you're just naturally fit." Sorry, I'm not, do it and reap the benefits! I too, all prescriptions in the garbage! Think most people don't believe me, oh well.
@@suew4609yes I was but don’t need them anymore.
Do you have cream, cream cheese, cheese or eggs in your diet
@@suew4609I was on morphine
I've been doing lion diet for 6mos now and I only eat Ribeye steak for every meal. Nothing else. I'm off all my autoimmune disease meds! I've completely reversed Lupus and mixed connective tissue disorder and mass activation syndrome. I feel so amazing I thought I was going to die and was ready to because I was suffering so bad. I'm so grateful for lion diet. It has saved my life!
Food bill must be sky high !!
@@wendycarter5718 no snacks, desserts, fruits, veggies, cheeses, drinks. these are costly. for me i saved a lot of grocery cost. i buy meat, eggs, sardinea,butter- that's it!
Do you get tired of it?
I am not being facetious- but do you have difficulty with regularity? Given that you eat no fiber?
@@3BetanzosI noticed a reduction in volume and frequency, but no difficulty and no constipation.
I've been on the Lion Diet almost 1 year now with great success. I have mental health problems that have been dramatically improved even when put under far worse conditions. As a faithful Catholic, I really appreciate this content focusing on health and the body, with some push back against certain shortcomings in our medical system while pointing toward possible life changing solutions. A personal Catholic friend of mine from Harvard, an integrative medicine doctor, first turned me on to all this years ago. Then another Harvard grad, psychiatrist Dr.Christopher Palmer came out with his amazing cutting edge book on this topic called "Brain Energy". I've since been following Neurosurgeoun Dr.Anthony Chaffee on UA-cam to learn more and really perfect my ee lifestyle. Health of body is in service to God, and family as Camerone said. And for all our marriages, purity, travels and happy meetings... St.Raphael- pray for us!
Keep after it brother! Those doctors (Palmer, Chaffee, Ede) are great and really care about people’s health.
I have been doing this for 7 months now ,I have a very bad allergy, that makes my tongue swell when I come in contact with the allergens, which is a preservative, natural ,and artificial ,also a flavoring, So it's in drinks,and dressings ,spices, and lots of process foods ,it's balsam of Peru, (a tree) also related allergens, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, My tongue would be swollen and sting 3 weeks out of a month until I did Carnivore ,I have been suffering for 16 years with this and the carnivore life has healed my suffering now. As well as many other issues i have had like ibs,.and diabetes, brain fog ,and more, Thank God, relief feels so good. Don't stop it only gets better with a carnivore life style.
Yes, Dr. Ede is outstanding on this topic. I can't wait to get her new book.
Alleluia! My two most favorite conversations: carnivore/keto and Catholicism!
Mine too, yay!! 💕✝️🥩
They’re Catholic?😂
@@jamesdellaneve9005 she mentioned it at 49:48
Me too!
@@jamesdellaneve9005 they are Eastern rite Catholics. This channel is dedicated to Catholic theology and Apologetics, hence the name Pints With Aquinas 😊
I find it so calming listening to Matt and Cameron talk w each other. What a grounded and loving relationship. Very beautiful.
I started carnivore 10 months ago to reverse t2 diabetes. Not only have I reversed it, but I'm down 25kg and fitter than I've been in decades. I absolutely love hearing how others are benefiting from a Proper Human Diet.
Amen!
Interesting
can you get jacked or increase weight on carnivore because I have gut issues and I am slim person
Knowing, as a fan, about Mrs. Fradd’s health issues. The second I saw the Carnivore headline, this is exactly what I expected as the result. Blessed be God, and his never ending love for us.
I am a 58 year old woman and started carnivore January 2023. Have lost fat, gained muscle and joint pain is gone. Best thing Ive ever done for myself! Congrats Cameron!!!
I'm 58 woman too. Started keto almost 3 yrs ago. I don't have any illness other than join pain, and keto made them disappear. When I cheated for few days, they came back, like a reminder for me to be good.
I am also a carnivore. I’ve been on this “proper human diet” for 5 months for weight loss and autoimmune issues. It has helped me tremendously, though friends and family think I’m crazy! So glad to hear this is helping you. Thank God!
P.S. -I do drink one cup of coffee with whole cream per day. I don’t drink tea because of the oxalates.
Yeah, I think Cameron might be oxalate dumping- explaining the delay/stall in feeling much better.
@@ameriefeingold6172 I was thinking the same thing.
I love matcha tea :((
I have been doing carnivore since the end of October and I have had such amazing results. 17 lbs lost, my depression/anxiety is almost completely gone, sleeping through the night, neuropathy pain in hands gone, chronic back pain almost gone and my skin has cleared up to the point my wife has even taken notice. Blood pressure and pulse have also improved. It’s sad that so many continue to turn to the old, politically driven, government subsidized food pyramid which is making so many Americans sick. Then ethically, a lot of ppl don’t understand how much farming kills so many animals through tillage and pesticides.
PS: love your content Matt, I watch it whenever I can and have learned so much. Shoutout to you to Thursday! Pints with Aquinas rocks!
This episode was such a gift and speaks almost exactly to my story.
I grew up with unexplained chronic illness and got married to my wonderful husband at 18. I couldn't work for a years and had to give up so many dreams because of severe illness and pain. We have been married 5 years and just entered the catholic church last Easter. I've felt so much grief through infertility, debilitating illness and severe mental health issues, but the catholic faith has given me such perspective, hope and purpose in this cross. I recently started primarily eating carnivore in the last couple weeks and I can actually keep my eyes open, I've lost excess weight and feel a lot better, however I haven't been strict enough with it and I'm having an awfully unpleasant flare up this evening. This gives my husband and I the push to go further.
Something that helps me when I'm craving good food (especially rn, my fam baking cookies every single day 😭) has been imagining myself offering up the craving to God like a little girl would offer flowers that she's picked in a garden. I know that the mortification brings Him joy and grant me virtue. And so the smell of the cookies is sweet and I am happy.
This is me. Mold is a super important factor. Food is important. I've also learned about limbic system/nervous system retraining.the hardest part is not having people believe me or think I'm being too extreme when I'm trying to survive.
@@brittney3156 I feel you!!!
I have watched videos where infertility issues turn completely around when on the carnivore diet. I think I’ve seen videos of 3 different women saying they became pregnant after being on this way of eating (I can’t remember who they are bc I’m out of the child bearing age but I do remember hearing them say it). Good luck on your health journey ❤️
@@brittney3156yesssss!!!!!!!! Mold illness here too, it’s the root of all my diagnoses/ailments!
WhT limbic system retraining program did you go with??
I have DNRS here but haven’t gotten past the third dvd (there are 8). I also am a member of Sarah Jackson’s program (but have slacked off 😨). Are you catholic? I wish there was a catholic brain rewiring program out there
Been on Keto with intermittent fasting and it's been life changing. 2 years strong. Depression and anxiety gone, sleeping better, weird aches and pains gone and better mental clarity.
Cameron is my hero. I was so touched by this story...wow, you are a warrior!!! Praying for you all. Thank you for sharing.
It was really encouraging hearing you say that you do not feel bad being "picky". Because you are NOT being picky. You just have to care for yourself. I have health issues that make eating with other people just so...frustrating. And I have felt bad asking so many questions at restaurants. I Just cannot stand eating out!! I was called a picky eater once and almost cried. It is not picky...one of my organs literally does not work. But this interview encouraged me so much!
Love you guys! What an answer to prayer. Carnivore is miraculously healing me too! It’s hard to realize how much we’ve been suffering until we are free from so many physical ailments and limitations. Glory to God! I’m so very very happy for you.
I’m only 7 mins in and Cameron has said something so profound that I think most of us gloss over. She went to daily Mass and would need a nap right after. Unless you have lived this, you have no idea how debilitating this illness is where you cannot even attend a 30-45 min Mass without needing a nap. I have days where I drive my 30 mins to church and have to nap for 10-15 mins in the car just to make it through Mass. God bless you Cameron. Okay off to listen to the rest. **im hoping you can re-inspire me to attempt carnivore again as it makes me pretty nauseous.
Dr. Shawn Baker has a website where you can chat with a nutritionist about your symptoms and they can recommend what might help. Hope this helps :)
I get super nauseous when I over-do fat, so that may be a clue for you…
The early stages of going carnivore can make you nauseous as you’re probably not digesting fat well/whilst getting fat adapted. If you push through it, you’ll be fine. You can also take ox bile or betaine to help during this transitory period.
The early stages of going carnivore can make you nauseous as you’re probably not digesting fat well/whilst getting fat adapted. If you push through it, you’ll be fine. You can also take ox bile or betaine to help during this transitory period. The human brain is composed of 60% fat and the functions of fat, like sheathing your mitochondria, are crucial. Not being able to digest (animal) fat is not a good thing and because all of the important biological functions that require fat, I’d definitely advise to “push through it” and offer it up. The nausea isn’t forever. 😁
I'm so glad to see you say this! I discovered a couple of years ago that I get super-nauseated and sick whenever I overdo it on fat. I've never heard anyone else mention this, so I'm glad I'm not the only one!@@sandylgb
I didn’t know this was a thing. What Cameron is describing, beef butter and salt is what the majority of midwestern farmers and ranchers have eaten for generations. I grew up on a farm where we also ran a cow calf herd. We ate beef every single day. Either as steak or hamburger or roast. Glad to hear it’s helped her and never understood where the “meat is bad for you” mentality came from.
I think you’ll be interested in Belinda Fetkke’s work it’s on YT about 30 min. She does a historical account on where that mentality started.
“Meat is bad for you,” comes from those trying to kill you.
That's great if you have a farm or a hobby farm, but the average person couldn't afford the carnivore diet.
@@sitka49 check out Dr Ken Berry he has many videos on the carnivore diet and doing it with supermarket meat.
@sitka49 if you're not buying all the other stuff ,it can be done..Don't have to eat steak all the time..
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, conversion disorder, and non-epileptic seizures. These are all skeptical in the medical field of course and I have little to no answers. So I’m my own science experiment trying to figure it out with my nurse mom and doctor. I am so thankful for yall talking about health as people who are going through it. It makes me feel not so alone in it.
My wife has been dealing with auto-immune issues for 30 years. One of her favorites things in tea--Black Tea. We found an article online that suggested Black Tea contributes to joint inflammation. Once she eliminated the Black Tea and night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant), the joint pain is easier to deal with. God bless you, Cameron Fradd!
I have autoimmune disease as well. I've been on the lion diet for 6 months now only eating ribeye steaks and eggs. I'm now off ALL meds. Pain free completely. It's changed my life. Your wife should try it. I feel so amazing.
For me, black tea was a major cause of my kidney stones.
Oxalates! Also related to kidney stones as someone else said. Oxalates give me headaches. When I’m oxalate dumping I also get mouth sores and skin rashes.
Praise the Lord for carnivore. I am 67 and have followed it for over a year and I am at my normal bodyweight and I take no medication whatsoever. I have incredible energy. Thank you so much for your podcast!
Wow i had never heard of camerons health struggles before... i cant imagine how hard that is living with a chronic illness to the point of not being able to stand/kneel at mass. I am just so impressed at her positive outlook and so so happy she found carnivore and that is helping her heal!
This is so edifying. I am just totally taken of the Love and communion between Matt and Cameron. Working with many married couples, seeing these two communicate is just incredible. Love these two.
The carnivore diet is probably the best thing I ever did for my health, mental or physical.
same here
Same here. Especially the mental aspect.
Same here
Could you describe how it affects mental health?
@@lglge611 It made my emotions much more level and I wasn't prone to mood swings into anger and despair anymore. It released me from really bad brain fog that was linked to my depression. It made me far less anxious even though my external stress increased. The difference (for me) in mental health was spectacular and I went from suicidal to being motivated to the point of being offered up to 3 full days of overtime a week.
In addition, mental health was also boosted by the other positive effects, like no bloating, getting leaner, and getting more muscular.
6 months on the carnivore diet! Best my health has ever been! Praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I did lots of home fermented foods for a few years, which significantly helped my gut!
I started carnivore a month ago, and it’s helped me have more energy! Some times it’s easy, but my carb/ bread addiction is hard some days.
I hear you. I promise it gets better. Like Mikhaila Peterson says, “nothing tastes better than how I feel.” I would t trade feeling good/energetic/health for even the tastiest baguette or cake.
@@j2muw667 the only reason why you have more energy is because it is new and your mind gets all excited when you're doing something new that you want to do. If your body is raving carbs and bread it is because you NEED it. Please go have some you deserve it
@@j2muw667
Maybe you're just in a calorie surplus now, which is why you feel like you have more energy?
Scott Jurek is one of the leading ultra marathon runners in the world. He's also a vegan. He couldn't do what he does if he didn't consume the amount of calories needed to sustain energy at that high level.
Energy has more to do with calories than anything else.
If the Carnivore diet gave you more energy, you'd probably be able to name at least one top level athlete that follows the diet, but you can't.
@@bethmcmullan7686 give me evidence
You’re gaining muscle, cartilage, connective tissue, bone density, etc. carnivore or even real food keto are meant to optimize weight. Those who need to lose weight will lose & those who need to gain will gain. I’m so happy you are feeling well. It will only get better from here.
I have done carnivore for a month at a time just to gain temperance! It's so specific, and you need discipline to do it. Plus, it cleans up our diets. I'm glad to hear that prayers for healing are being answered for you, Cameron! God bless ❤
You two are an incredible couple - I think it’s so healthy for people to be able to see podcasters interview their partners and see in depth conversations between two people where the conversation has depth love and respect to it. Love you guys and thank you sharing! ❤
I’m also carnivore for autoimmune disorders. I did it for a year then experimented for another year and came back in August. Everyone comments how skinny I am (like my first round of carnivore) and how my skin glows. I experimented with ridding coffee from my diet for 3 months and it made no difference. I’m happy that I can handle it (love it) and like Cameron, am selective with my beans and consume the coffee package in a month (as it does spoil). I handle butter and ghee great (yes, because it’s lower in lactose which does cause issues for many).
I do eat cheese (mostly goat cheeses).
Beef does in fact have all of the vitamins/nutrients and amino acids we need to thrive (even trace amounts of vit c- especially in liver). Magnesium/electrolyte supplementation is crucial for success and also recommend a good D/K supplement (like Thorne’s as it’s in MCT oil) as MOST people are deficient in.
When I go for sushi with friends I’ll get sashimi with a dip of a wasabi aioli or some other sort of flavorful dip for a smidge of garnish.
This is also my new normal and prefer to offer up this sacrifice (of all other foods I enjoy) to God (he and the saint’s sacrificed so much more) and for my health/being able to function!
What electrolyte brand/type do you use to supplement? How do you know how much to take a day? Thank you!
I have a friend who has more than a couple of autoimmune diseases & started this in February or March. She's graaaaadually added other real food a bit at a time but she is flourishing again. Keep listening to your body!!
You two are awesome, thank you for sharing. I've been on carnivore for 9 months and the results have far exceed any expectations. Sleep apnea, snoring, joint pain, head aches are all gone.Even experiencing improvement in my eyesight. Lost over 50 lbs, and now getting the best sleep. Waking up between 4-5 am every morning (before the alarm goes off) feeling refreshed and ready to go. Butter and salt have been very helpful, but the best results are coming from beef. Keep it up and best of luck. God bless.
I love Cameron. I'm glad you're getting back on track and are experiencing a healing. I know what it's like using a walker. MS is a humbling disease. I've had to ask people who are old enough to be my parents to help me walk a couple of feet. I hope you continue to get better.
Cameron and Matt shows give us all strength
This is the first episode I've watched, and am so happy it came up in my feed. What a blessing you both are; not only in information about the carnivore diet, but primarily seeing your faith! Thank you for sharing both.
The newfound joy of eating a blueberry that Cameron received from our Lord is absolutely beautiful! Glory to God!
We've been Carnivore since June and have each lost 20# each. I was hoping you would try this Diet as we are now so much healthier! And I am also off my blood pressure med. Praise God that you found this 🥰
I've done carnivore as well. It is amazing how it wakes your body up. I'm not as strict anymore, so I guess I'm paleo now, but I credit it with giving me a good amount of healing to build on. If I start to suffer again, I'll go back to it. I'm so happy for you Cameron!
This was such an intimate, and helpful view into the process. For someone with trauma and chronic illness as well as food issues, this has been God sent. Thanks Cameron! Xx And Matt of course!
Your channel just popped up on my feed after watching Carnivore Doctor with Dr Lisa. I'm so happy for your progress on the Carni way of eating. As you continue, you will heal more, but it does take time for your body to heal years of toxic eating. It's sad that those in charge of informing the public what to eat to stay healthy are lying to us. I've been trying to go full 100% Carni for almost 2 years because I have carb addictions. I'm currently 90/10 Carni 90% & 5%veg & 5% carbs. My journey to Carni is to heal Obesity & Obesity related illnesses. Not as difficult as your journey has been. But hang in there & can't wait to hear more on your healing. Sounds like 2024 will be your year 🙏🏻
I did carnivore for a short time and felt GREAT. Like a fool, I went off of it and all my health issues came back with a vengeance. I'm planning to start again in the new year. I'm so happy for you!
Good luck!!
Why wait then?
The closer you stay to carnivore, the better you'll feel. Which is more important to you today, the enjoyment of treats or the great feeling of health? The good thing is this way of eating will be there when you're ready again.
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet!
I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!”
I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank!
I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do!
I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year, 2 months, and 1 week now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
*My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier!
*my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be.
*My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!)
So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
I've been researching for 2 years now, and I truly believe this is the nudge I've needed. Still recovering from hysterectomy where they found endometriosis, cysts, other issues. I God,I hear you!
@@amymiller4381 watch also Dr. Kiltz weekday mornings at 4am CST for Q&A. He is trained OBGYN carnivore doc and talks about plants causing all you mentioned
Wow what an encouraging post! I may have to try carnivore again. I truly never liked broccoli that much but made myself eat it to be “healthy”!
@@Julia29853 no to broccoli and hope you do try carnivore again! ☺️
thank you so much for sharing your experience Jennifer. It is really incredible and I am glad you feel great! I am really confused, because on one hand I would love to try it (we have the same age), but at the same time I have been diagnosed with gallstones (and I tend to get high cholesterol easily if I don't eat well) so the doctor told me to avoid everything that is fatty as I have too many big stones in the gallbladder and they want me to take it out all together. I am trying to reverse the situation with a strict food regime (similar to keto I would say) and I am scared that with the carnivore diet will get worse because of the fat built up in the gallbladder. Also I never heard that some vegs can cause serious problems, normally they tell you red cow meat causes cancer. What about other stuff like carrots, celeriac, spinach, etc? Are they ok?
Loved your story! First time on your channel. I'm a carnivore, it's been awesome for my autoimmune and gut issues~85% improved! I've been on this journey 5+years, never going back.
I have loved this episode!! Cameron you look ans sound amazing! Carnivore has been an amazing healing modality for myself (epilepsy, PCOS, insulin resistance, anxiety, laot 80 lbs, skin, and more) and mamy of my clients. I look forward to hearing more.
Hey Jen! Hooray for healing! 💗
Been carnivore 9 months! Have lost 120 lbs and am able to do so much more than I could before! I can run a faster mile than what I could in high school
Wow!!!
How's your blood pressure and cholesterol level?
@@gilbertslam I personally can’t afford health insurance right now so I haven’t gotten to get my cholesterol checked- but I am not worried about it based on the studies that say show fat and cholesterol doesn’t clog your arteries. I use an Apple Watch and my heart rate is normal.
I can run on the treadmill for up to 5 miles. My endurance is better and my run time is better than when I was in high school.
I'm very happy to see and hear Cameron in such a good condition! And it's always heartwarming and inspiring to listen to you two discussing.
I refused to have my thyroid gland remove for a cancerous thyroid nodule back in Summer of 2022 and decided to try low carb instead. I started out Keto then turned Carnivore in April 2023. Doctors thought I was crazy, but last visit the endocrinologist said to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. Why? Because I took myself off levothyroxine since going Carnivore (after being on it for 20 years) and my lab results were normal. Additionally, after the last ultrasound, the nodule went from a TR5 (the worst) to a TR4, so I seem to be headed in the right direction. It's great to see fellow Catholics aboard the Carnivore train! Thank you for sharing your story, Cameron.
I’m 20 right now and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism right after I turned 17 years old. I’ve been dealing with thyroid issues, hormonal imbalance, severe hormonal acne, anxiety and depression for 3 years now and I’m going to start the carnivore diet. I’m hoping that my issues can be healed because it’s hard dealing with this at such a young age
Dr. Chaffee recently did an interview with a young lady in your situation. You might find it interesting.
@@madelyn2478 Just in case it might help, two books that were life-changing for me & a few other suggestions for anxiety & depression:
1) Anxiety, Phobias, and Panic, by Reneau Z. Peurifoy
2) Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, by David Burns
3) Frequent confession (btwn every week/2 weeks to a month) and go to daily Mass as much as possible
4) Some anxiety & depression can be induced by evil spirits, so you can also pick a couple of protection prayers from "Deliverance Prayers for the Laity" by Catholic exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger, and follow the protocol from "The Liber Christo Method: A Field Manual for Spiritual Combat" by Dan Schneider (Fr. Ripperger's assistant)
4) Daily **full** Rosary throughout the day (at least all the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious mysteries, maybe add on another set of mysteries as well)
5) Read the Bible daily and do daily ***Catholic*** mental prayer (which is NOT Eastern meditation!)... see GabiAfterHours on UA-cam for more info. He's so helpful!
God bless you and your loved ones. I pray that God brings you health and healing.
My husband and I both started carnivore diet in August. All peri-menopause symptoms I was having are all gone, all join pain and inflammation is gone, we have so much energy, we have better sleep, my bloating and digestive issues are all gone, and no more heartburn. I haven’t had a migraine since we started the diet! I feel better at 41 than I did when I was in my 20’s or even teens!
So great! Several of my family members are on this diet for the last 5 years, and have all reversed diabetes. So amazing!
If so they would have cut out all sugar and excess carbs which are the bane of the SAD (Standard American Diet). Eliminating those alone would have caused serious weight loss.
T1 diabetes or T2?
So glad to hear this conversation: my hubby and I started carnivore 10 weeks ago and yes, I still do coffee with heavy cream and unsweet iced tea. But do not miss the old way of eating-loads of benefits. BTW Dr Anthony Chafee is a board certified neuro surgeon and he is an American residing in Australia. Dr Ken Berry is also a great follow for carnivore information and talking to your doctor.
You can add Paul Saladino Carnivore MD to that list. He’s fantastic.
@@johnbanasiak3720 I've not been able to really get behind Paul Saladino, I've found he has a lot of conflicting videos and is constantly moving the goalposts regarding what is and isn't a good food choice. Given he eats fruits and honey, etc now he can't honestly be referred to as "Carnivore MD" anymore. He's also always looked unhealthy to me, especially compared to the other popular Carnivore advocates like Dr. Chafee, etc. He looks ill in the same way a lot of vegans do imo.
@@jcmorgan26Agree. I skip Saladino entirely now.
@@johnbanasiak3720Except for his take on fruit and honey, not good!
For those unfamiliar with the carnivore diet, it is technically zero-carb keto using animal products only, uses fat as the main energy source so relies on fatty meat rather than lean meat, along with eggs, fish, milk etc, anything from an animal.
It works as a mono-food healing diet that restores your gut initially which has the consequence of normalising your body and your weight.
There is a 2-6 week adaption phase where your stools may be looser than normal, this almost always passes.
Most people continually lose weight until they hit their optimal weight, one caveat is that from many comments I have read cheese tends to stall weight loss, being both kind of addictive and very calorie dense.
I just completed over 100 days on it and am convinced it is a sustainable healing diet,
my main plan is eating twice per day,
bacon or steak and eggs fried in butter for brunch,
ground beef patties for dinner,
with celtic salt added and plenty of filtered water throughout the day
a glass or three of full cream milk along with the meals.
NO HUNGER and continual weight loss and healing of my psoriasis, plus complete healing of my gut
No real thought required or hardship
I will make up a video playlist and add it in a comment here, it fixes depression, MS, extreme obesity, boils and many other almost untreatable maladies that medicine seems stumped on
Just to add a caveat - it’s more of a weight optimization diet than a weight loss diet. People that are too thin tend to gain some weight after they’ve adjusted to it and have lost excess water weight from inflammation.
Thank you for sharing this story! Very encouraging! I am 33 with IBS- quite badly, joint pain, weight loss, hair loss, no energy, bad GI symptoms. I went through several treatments and nothing worked. I have been on carnivore for a year and could gain back my life. I also miss so many other foods but having my life back is worth it.
Wow, what a moving testimony, I was brought to tears when you heard the Priests singing at your bedside when you were near death. It's amazing miraculous recovery Cameron. Keep up the good work. I started Carnivore 10 months ago for various health issues and it's been quite positive. I can't see turning back. Planning on doing the Lion Diet for the month of January❣️Be blessed on the road to recovery 🙏😇💜You and your husband are a beautiful team♥️♥️
Cameron, WOW! I struggle with chronic pain and broad diagnosisis (how do you make that plural haha) too and I'm just so inspired by your witness. My take away from this video is that you never let it stop you - walking with a cane in Rome, going on trips with your husband in a wheel chair. It's just inspirational to know that you fought hard for an abudant life despite many obstables! May God be glorified in the grace that he gave you to show up when and how you needed to for your husband, children and what GOd was doing in your life. Blessings, Natalia
I cannot say how happy I am for you two! It warms my heart to see and hear how well you are doing Cameron. Keep up the great work. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ! ❤
I was just diagnosed with all these things this year - endometriosis, POTS, hEDS, MCAS, celiac, migraines etc. - after many years of suffering. Carnivore completely changed my life. Still struggling, but doing so so so much better. And thank you for talking about the challenges that chronic illness can pose to participating in Mass, lenten practices, etc. because sometimes I feel like I've failed at being a Catholic because of how my illness can limit me. My husband related so much to all of Matt's comments too.
Carnivore here as well. Please know, you can't earn salvation so don't worry about being a "good Catholic". My husband raised in school and church Catholic read his Bible and now realizes that he was leading a life of Catholic rules (the Law, mentioned in the Bible) but now he knows freedom of the grace that Jesus died to provide us for salvation.
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Once you receive this grace directly from Jesus/God through being repentant (not penance, it is nowhere mentioned in uncorrupted Bibles) your desires will change and you will want to live by the ten commandments but being human we will always struggle therefore the need for grace. We no longer need a mediator after Christ died and Mary is never mentioned as a mediator, nor is she equal to Christ and should never be worshiped. In the Bible the mention of "the queen of heaven" was when the people were admonished for worshiping a false god.
1 Peter 2:4-5 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"
My husband had no idea his salvation didn't depend on absolution from a priest and he didn't have to guess or wonder if he was going to heaven until reading:
1 John 5:11-13
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
Praying for you to have freedom to know God personally and never fear your salvation. 🥰🙏
It won’t cure endo either.
I’ve been carnivore since 2019… yes, inflammation and overall health improves.. but it does not get rid of endo.
🙏🏻
So basically what we’re all seeing and hearing is that Cameron is a total badass??
Yes.
Yes omg
AN IDIOT
It's so beautiful to see Cameron shining! ❤
I'm thrilled to hear Cameron is getting better ❤
Carnivore over 11 months. I've lost 45 pounds and easily keeping it off. Much easier to control cravings on this diet. I'm glad so many are trying carnivore.
I'd usually recommend people at least ease it up to keto, so some nutrients from the greens can also come in.
Also, steak is great with asparagus or broccoli.
@@helpIthinkmylegsaregone I'm not convinced that's necessary. I'm not aware of what nutrients you have to get from plants. Also, many are going many years without them and the profess doing great.
I will say people should ease into these diets for the sake of their gut health.
I loved this!! Hope you are even better by now - as I am watching this 4 months later!!! I am eating a carnivore diet most of the time and am slowly healing my body!! I pray you both are nearly well by now!! It is amazing way to eat and get healthy!!
Carnivore is been amazing for my entire family. We’ve lost weight, have more energy and I’ve come off my high blood pressure medication and my thyroid numbers have improved a lot. Best results when I switched to High fat carnivore!
I'm only at the beginning and the love is making me cry,it's beautiful to see.
Quercetin is an iron chelator which is very helpful because the root cause of her chronic inflammation is iron dysregulation. The cod liver oil is providing lots of Vitamin A Retinol, which is helping her iron recycling system, among other things. Colostrum has lactoferrin which binds iron (which again, is the underlying issue) and those benefits are incredibly helpful to keep the "iron food" away from pathogens. Curious what you're doing for adequate potassium, Calcium, and Vitamin C, and magnesium. You'd definitely see greater benefits by supplementing copper. Prayers Cameron, for your continued healing. ❤
It’s worked for so many people contrary to what a lot of nutritionists recommend…. Seems to have worked for the Peterson’s
We need research on this! As medical professionals it's hard to recomendación something we have no information about, specially in the long term.
Shawn Baker and Ken Berry share a bunch of good research. They are always finding the newest research.
I’ve been doing carnivore the last two years and it has changed my life for the better in many ways, I’m painfree and off my anti-depressants. Thank you both for this important conversation. You are bringing this to people who have never heard of diet being the major contributor to ailments!
Cameron, butter has a very low amount of lactose. So that's probably why it's ok for you. My mother has several of the conditions you do. And butter is ok for her too. If you wanted to cut out the lactosr completely try clarified butter/Ghee. It's butter with all the flavor but with the lactose removed. It's also really easy to make yourself. On that note thank you so much for sharing your health journey. You have been an answer to prayer in figuring out my mother's health issues as well.
I would think fermented milk would be ok to try in small doses, like kefir and real yogurt. Fermentation sees the friendly bacteria eating the sugar
Cameron you are tough AF, Matt is lucky to have a woman like you! God bless y’all have a Merry Christmas
Was weeping through a lot of this video. As someone with EDS and dysautonomia, I am SO happy for you, for both of you! I’ve not suffered nearly what you have but I tend to despair a lot, thank you for helping me know im not alone. You are my inspiration Cameron, God Bless you and your family!
Ah man. Alright. I’m going all in on carnivore after Christmas.
Everything you need is in the beef! I was a vegan for a few years and now I’m almos Carnivire - what a difference!!!
I'm in awe of how beautiful and inspiring your marriage is. Matt can probably relate to St. Joseph more than most. HE is married to a living saint IMHO. Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever.
67 yrs old. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 6 years ago. Changed my way of eating to no sugar, including fruit, no gains, no starches, no seed oils, no processed foods. Almost completely carnivore. Last month my doctor removed my diagnosis. It really is amazing.
I fell into carnivore by accident… one could say… I am highly allergic to all seeds, seed oils and seed seasoning… I literally had to stop eating everything.., I was never a big produce eater to begin with so basically I was eating meats and dairy… found out about carnivore about 3 years ago… I am not totally strict with it.. I still do a lot of baking for my family…
I actually have a really hard time eating out because of the seed issues… you would be amazed at how much mustard seed is used in restaurants! Also the butter is not always real butter… I have to make sure it’s not margarine because I will react to the seed oil blended in with the butter.
Maybe it’s where I live but I usually have to talk with the chef/cook about my meal because the wait staff doesn’t really know/understand the severity of my allergy… and I have actually had a few restaurants tell me that they do have anything I could eat because of how the food is prepped or mostly pre-seasoned….
I learned to bring my own bags of bacon and tubs of ground beef everywhere… lol 😂 I don’t feel deprived of anything though… I was never a person who needed a lot of “verity” anyway.
You are so inspiring. I bow to you, how you carry this health cross. Humbling. I find your channel wonderful Matt. You are a good heart.
Health issues ever since an extreme round of antibiotics… fast forward to doing the gaps protocol - focus on healing and sealing the gut. Would love to chat with Cameron!
Animal based here-which is basically carnivore with some fruit. Feel amazing with improvements in mental health and overall strength and energy. Love this from a Catholic perspective!
I'm a middle-aged man and I had been suffering with gout, joint pain, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and was overweight. After going carnivore (initially keto for a few months) my health has significantly improved. Gout gone. Lost 60 pounds and had to get different clothes and belts. Joint pains gone. Blood pressure is awesome--lower than it has ever been my entire adult life. The A-fib is considerably improved.
I also had thought carnivore seemed weird and even a bit crazy when I first heard of it. But now, I'm convinced that what we have been acclimated to think is a normal, healthy diet is completely wrong. The body needs protein and animal fat. We actually do not need to eat any carbohydrates--our bodies can make its own glucose to completely meet our needs. Sugars, carbohydrates (especially processed) and vegetable seed oils over time cause harm to our bodies.
When we cut out the junk we don't need and start adopting a more appropriate way of eating for our true physiological needs, the body can begin to repair and heal from years of harm. This takes time. I've seen many anecdotes (especially women) that it can take a year or longer to substantially recover and heal from years of chronic problems.
Women especially tend to eat far too little protein and fat for their body's needs. When starting to heal, women can need especially high amounts of animal fat to repair and recover from years of deep-seated issues that need time to heal.
And please note: physicians (and all health care providers) do not get adequate training in nutrition. Sadly, they are typically in the dark when it comes to the proper diet for optimal health and healing. The rare doctors who are truly knowledgeable about this learned on their own. The typical education and training in health care is woefully devoid of sound nutrition information.
My doctors are wanting me on high protein to promote healing (i've already lost one leg and they wanted to amputate the other in May), my concern has been for my kidneys as a high protein diet can be hard on them. Think i'll ask them if this could be beneficial.
Thank you so much Cameron and Matt for sharing this. ❤️
Do some research on this. Peace of mind is important, and there is not if information about that available. Sometimes what we think we know turns out to not be accurate. Best wishes.
Im pretty sure Dr Berry has addressed this on his channel. Anecdotally, people with kidney problems have had a ton of improvement with carnivore, but that doesn’t mean their doctors have caught up yet. It would seem that protein doesn’t actually hurt your kidneys,
@@kristenherr9389 Thanks for the info! i will look him up!
🙏❤️
My kidney pain went away on carnivore. But I think initially making sure you are getting enough electrolytes and hydration is probably important.
Watch KenDBerryMD on UA-cam he talks about proteins & kidneys on the Carnivore Diet.
Thank you for sharing. When I was at my worst 1hr long mass was incredible difficult to sit / stand through the lightheaded and fatigue was just crushing. So happy you’re doing better!
Sounds like your electrolytes are off. Get more salt in your diet, eat more fatty meat & drink water.
Cameron, you radiate healthfullness, strength, and confidence. Congratulations on your Carnivore journey.
An amazing story. Thank you for sharing this and the suffering that you've experienced, as well as your faith and hope, which I'm sure was very deeply tested during these events.
These conversations between y’all are like I’m receiving a mentorship!
My daughter has EDS, is hyper mobile, has several IBS, can't have grains, sugar, bad oils either. We will research this. Thank you, God Bless you. May God continue to heal you.
Air fryers are a game changer too. I take the fat from my ribeye that isn’t crispy & put it back in for 5 minutes & it is like beef bacon. It is so delicious!!
You are the first person to talk about the joints coming apart issue. My knees did the same. I couldn't take a step somtimes without feeling like my joints just wouldn't support me. My husband thinks I'm just lazy. He isn't inside this body. Fasting and carnivore help tremendously. I also, have considerable hair loss, nearly bald with 3 foot long hair.
Prayers that you have long lasting results!!!
This sounds very similar to my story! Mold and Lyme was the reasons I got very sick, and carnivore is why I' m able to live a normal life now. So glad to hear others are benefiting from it.
As a new Catholic carnivore, having amazing results, I have moments of funny thoughts, like when saying the Lord’s Prayer, “give us this day our daily meat!”
I have been carnivore for almost a year, and I am kicking chronic illness to the curb! Crohn's is in remission, limbic system impairment and mental health is improving every day, and recovery from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is going well. Slow and steady as I go, all of the other systemic issues I've had (eg, hormone problems, body aches, overall skin health...the list is LONG) are resolved!!
Thank you for such a good show! I truly love you both 😊
Loved this discussion! So good. So sweet. So informative. Keep doing what’s best for you. ❤❤
It’s a sacrifice that while you are practicing it you feel great, but the moment you put down your cross you feel the ramifications.
Can we talk about how great your hair looks!
Meat for life, baby!!!
I don’t care if my “doctor” told me to come off. I feel so much better not under the care of a “doctor” then I do under their care.
Glad you have received healing! Your struggle was something!
Praise God for 🐮🐄
This was excellent. Cameron thank you for sharing your experience, this is helpful for a similar journey we are on with my husband. Your humility and strength really shine through. God bless you
loved this interview!! watching someone new to carnivore~i had the same reactions to this at first!! but it has really helped my gi issues so far~working on my liver disease also!! i do more ketovore!
3+ years on carnivore and it’s so easy for me these days. I do use THC (don’t recommend) but my injuries from my military days are a little extreme, and I strictly moderate. Glad to see this message spreading more ✌️

❤ thanks!
@@cfradd thank you for sharing your experience. Really appreciate it! ☺️
Cameron, it is so refreshing to hear another women let alone a Catholic women who’s battling chronic illness and still remaining steadfast and faithful through it all. It’s very humbling and comforting to watch you share your health struggles. As soon as you said you rely on a walker, in and out of the hospital, and deal with numerous random symptoms, I knew I needed to comment. I’m in my mid 30s, have been struggling with Crohn’s disease for 19 years and on top of that, I’ve developed hypothyroidism, bladder conditions, psoriasis, ecsema, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I may even have PCOS. Ive had two major surgeries and also had to fight for my life nearing death. I constantly need assistance and rely on a walker/wheelchair to get around. So your experience really hits home. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on all kinds of alternatives desperate for any kind of break. And I do agree with Matt, although it’s so beautiful that ppl want to advise and help with your health, it’s very frustrating. I have an educational background in nutrition and studied it just so I can help myself and hopefully help others. I’ve tried many healing diets but currently restricting my diet to mixture of carnivore, specific carbohydrate diet and elemental diet and have discovered some benefits so far. Overall, I’ve noticed a high protein diet with no gluten, dairy, and sugar has always helped me regardless. Anyways, I just want to thank you for having the courage to share all of your negative and positive experiences with your health. I pray you continue to recover and only see improvements ahead of you. God bless! 🙏
Thank you for this! Merry Christmas! I’m breast cancer survivor, after all surgeries, my body is not the same. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I will try carnivore diet by January.
Best to ease into it over a couple months. Going strict immediately can be a shock to your system.
I too started carnivore for Lent this year and I feel 30 years younger. According to my doctor my labs are now “perfect” and I’ve reversed 14 health issues from trivial to serious so far. Carnivore is a health optimization diet and I am so grateful to God that I found it.
Love you both so much ! God bless you and have a blessed Christmas !
