- Eating pretty much just BEEF, BUTTER , BROTH, & EGGS
The carnivore diet is a restrictive regimen that follows specific dietary principles. I've been following the carnivore diet for about 3 months. I don't know why, but I'm feeling so much better. All my chronic health issues and autoimmune stuff seems to be calmed down.
Thank you for prayer for my sister if you want more info on her journey....

Low carb then keto and now carnivore and I have lost over 55 pounds. PMDD, PCOS in remission. Off anti depressants, off anxiety meds, no longer suicidal. Get your MEAT on, my new life mantra.
🎯Beautiful~ so thrilled for you Chrissy! *Perfect mantra too, love that
Same! I’m also 55lbs down ☺️💕 so proud of you!
We started Carnivore as a family March 2023 to help some of our kids gut and skin issues. It’s been life changing!
I started in March 2023 too 🎉
I’m glad your family is doing well! :)
I have ovarian cancer and am treating it with the carnivore diet along with a PARP inhibitor. So far my cancer markers are way down and I’m much healthier. I’m so glad you found the carnivore diet!
😊 that’s amazing!! I’m prayers for continued healing
Hi Diane. 🙂👋🏼 I'm sorry you're going through this cancer. 😟 I'm glad you found Carnivore to help heal you. And of course, your faith. 🙏🏼✝️
Are you also going through chemo? I hear that's brutal and can do some harm. There's someone who has stage 4 cancer. They told him he was terminal and only had a few months to live. That was over a year ago. He's also carnivore and he's fasting during his chemo week; only water. I wish he would drop the chemo. 😞
My brother had cancer years ago. He's now a cancer survivor. 🙏🏼
You're in my prayers, Diane. 🙏🏼✝️
Thank you for sharing! I pray for a continued successful healing journey for you! ❤
There is no way that eating meat can somehow "cure" cancer. Cancer occurs in the body when the body's frequencies are messed up. Meat is the biggest frequency killer. You have to look to plant-based foods as humans are designed to eat, but also be careful. From what I've heard (I'm not a doctor/scientist) you need to prepare the food properly. Pressure cook it (for example) to destroy any possible toxins in them. I wish you recovery! Search in the Google: "Elevate Your Energy with High Frequency Foods". I can't post the link here but it's the second link from the top.
That’s fantastic! Have you heard Tammy Peterson’s testimony of her healing from autoimmune disease and kidney cancer? It’s on her channel by her name. It’s very inspirational. She’s converting to the Catholic Church, too! Praying for you🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I have been managing an autoimmune disorder for 15 years and have tried everything from vegan, to AIP, to nutritarian, to keto, and just started carnivore three weeks ago. Carnivore is the only diet that has reduced my symptoms significantly. I feel better than I have in years. It is so counterintuitive because we’ve been conditioned to think fruits and veggies are essential. But maybe not for some people 🤷♀️. So happy for you that you are feeling better and have found something that is helping ❤️🙏
That's awesome, it's only going to keep better too! We definitely have been conditioned through marketing to believe that, but as it turns out there isn't a single vitamin or mineral we can't get through animal products. Plants are completely optional. We've been conditioned to believe plants were not only required, but they have no downside, when again in reality, there are many problems caused by plants. I wish the conversation would be more honest about the pros and cons of plants.
Me too. Tried everything...wish I had known about carnivore earlier.
C A I am plant free. I refuse to eat another salad. I used to be keto and ate a lot of salad! Dr. Berg swore by that. But I Felt horrible! I stopped following Berg because of that and other more personal reasons. He's church of Scientology and he gives a huge portion of his UA-cam money, which has been millions of 💰💵 already towards that so I want no part of that.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You shared so many beautiful examples of grace, strength, and humility. What an honor to share a prayer with you for sister Meredith 🙏. I was led to keto by HS in 2016, then carnivore in 2019. I have been on and off, and feel this was Devine intervention again as I sit with hives yet one more time because I strayed. This message was for me tonight. Thank-you for your willingness to compassionately share your struggles and success 😇!
It’s the same with me. My brain keeps telling me that I shouldn’t eat the fat. I’m telling it to shut up! Lol I tried all of those diets, too, with no success. I listened to other people’s journeys, and how they healed being a vegan or on AIP and I just didn’t understand it, because I felt worse. I began to think there was something in vegetables, that didn’t agree with me. Then I read Dr. Gundry‘s book, and found out that there were things in fruit and vegetables that didn’t agree with some people. Cameron and Matt’s video on Carnivore made me research it and I started it last week. I should’ve taken it slower, though, because I found out that oxalates and me don’t like each other. I had terrible, abdominal cramping and diarrhea, so I’m backing off a bit and reducing my carbs gradually while I’m adding more fat. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but I’ve seen that some people have oxalate dumping for quite a while, as they stored up a lot of oxalates in their system while they’ve been eating a “healthy” diet. I’m glad it’s going so well for you! Praying for your continued healing🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You have a new subber here! I didn't find you via any Catholic videos. It was through my Carnivore community. But it was an extra treat that you're Catholic. I just figured it out in the first few minutes of you speaking. This is awesome when a fellow Carnivore is Catholic. 😃😊🙏🏽❤️
welcome!!
@@cfraddThanks. I didn't even notice your last name at first! 🤣 I just heard you speaking and new you were Catholic. I don't know what it is. When I hear someone speak and see how they carry themselves, I can tell they are Catholic. And then of course, they say something Catholic. 😄 I had no idea who you were at first. Then much later into your video, I looked at your full name and said to myself, "Oh No Wonder!" 🤣 Sometimes I forget that many UA-cam men are married and have wives. 😆 Then days later, I noticed a video of your hubby interviewing you. I still have to watch that.
Catholic and Carnivore! The perfect combination for optimal health in every way!! I’m happy for you and your healing journey!!
Cameron I have tears in my eyes! I have a chronic seizure disorder that is triggered by hormone imbalances. I have five children under 8 and on my bad days was having two hour seizures at a time making it impossible to take care of my family. I’ve done GAPS for a while but still struggling. I’ve been on carnivore for a month and taking a DAO enzyme for histamines and I’ve been seizure free ever since… for the first time I’ve had hope. Thank you for your witness! My husband is a western medicine doctor and is shocked I fixed myself. And yes Wednesdays and Fridays are tricky because beef is my secret weapon too. Maybe we can do a ton of broth and eggs on repeat all day? I will be continuing to pray for you and your sister!
You are exempt due to your health issue
36 days in, 30lbs down, stronger than ever, and feeling better than I have in over a decade! Appreciate your content.
I started Carnivore Dec. 1st. It's helped my arthritics pain and the many stomach issues I have! Bless you and keep going!
The crazy thing is that meat is usually discouraged by doctors when you have arthritis😮
I started carnivore 4 weeks ago out of desperation. Praise God, my health issues are nearly gone. As a retired healthcare professional, I was hard core trained that I needed greens and fiber. At the 2 week mark, my husband said, “ your hands aren’t ‘squishy’ anymore”… my swelling/ inflammation is nearly gone. I’m still trying to have bits of dairy but I may have to ditch it for improved health.
So glad you’re feeling better!
God is good, all the time :)
Same! Two week mark and I have no chronic pain as of this morning! So hopeful this will work!
Cameron, your cross has been so heavy, heavier than many of us could carry. Your strength is a blessing, your faith is a true gift and your positivity is glorious. You are such a strong, beautiful, endearing daughter of God. Bless you 🥰
I appreciate that!

You said you miss real food but remember beef is real food.
Yes, beef IS the real food!
When you grow up eating chips and processed cheese, foods like beef and salmon are not, unfortunately, what one would consider “normal” food.
This is amazing news!! I didn’t have any known illness, but definitely had addiction to sugar issues! Been eating carnivore for the last 30 days and I do feel so much better!! Every time I cheat, I notice it in my health soon.
I am in awe of you because of your perseverance in finding what works for you and for your dedication to giving your suffering to Jesus. I hope God continually gives you blessings to feel better.
This made me cry. I have my 3 year old daughter on a meat base diet (not full carnivore). She has digestive issues and is covered in head to toe eczema when off the diet. We're on the waiting list for the Cleveland Clinic Functional Medicine Center. I wasn't sure if I was headed in the right direction. I have been impatiently praying on this for months. Thank you for sharing. It feels like God is using your suffering to help others. And maybe my daughter's suffering will in turn also helps others too.
avoidance of high salicylate containing foods helped my eczema a ton.
Also see if you have a chiropractor that does nutrition & muscle testing… can get you off things that upset her & on good supplements
I'm sure you have a lot of advice coming in, but I love functional medicine so so happy you're going that route (currently I'm becoming an FDNP- woot), but if you haven't run a GI map test you might want to look into it. It''s how I was diagnosed with celiac when everyone else missed it.Prayers for your three year old! That's so horrible you're going through this, but praise God she has you as a mom!
@@laurahorn That is so exciting to hear. I'm so happy there will be another catholic lady in the functional medicine realm. I've been second guessing going the non-traditional route because I didn't know who to trust. I was hoping I would be able to find advice within the Church. I really have been searching for months. Thank you so much for your comment.
@@laurahorn do you have a recommendation for how to find a good functional medicine provider? Is there a website or accreditation we can refer to? Looking for GI mapping for some bad GERD. Thank you!
I have been on my health journey for 20 months. After 10 months I started Carnivore. I hit my weight goal and I am off all of my prescriptions. I am a testimony of how our body can heal itself. Blessings.
I have epilepsy and started keto despite my doctor saying not to. When medications stopped, the keto diet worked. I prayed for healing and this was truly enlightened to me by him and strengthened me with his grace to stick with it.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2017. I was on the Autoimmune Protocol diet for many years. It helped. Switched to Carnivore September 2022 and feel so much better. And I feel better on beef, just like you. Thank you for sharing. So glad it has helped you so much!!!!!
Please please please don’t start adding in anything yet. 3 months of carnivore is not enough time for someone with your severe health issues. Ruminant meats, beef, butter, eggs. Lamb and beef are excellent for healing and need to be the staples. Take care, God bless and don’t rush the process. Give it at least a year. Meat and animal fat are so healing!! Especially ruminant meats.
It will be 12 months for me in January that I went from low-carb to keto to keto-vore. I had terrible acid reflux, arthritis, and some other health issues that I didn’t even know existed until I felt so much better that I could identify the difference. I don’t take any prescription medications. I feel fantastic! I realize this way eating is not for everyone, but it is certainly for me. Love them ribeyes! We live in rural southwest, Oklahoma - thankfully, this is the land of some fantastic beef! And bison!
Thank you for such thoughtful words.
I’m in Broken Arrow and we get a half beef from a small ranch in Bixby. It’s so much better than store bought meat. I love Oklahoma!

I have been carnivore for almost 4 years. It’s how we are supposed to eat. My daughter went to Steubenville. Love that place. I’ll pray for you!!! Carnivore for life!!!
Detach from self....this includes food. This is how i started my carnivore journey. Been on it for 8 months. Its a cross and a blessing.
I've been struggling with going carnivore for a while because i love veggies so much. I have really bad psoriasis, eczema, depression, and anxiety . I am going to try it starting in January. Thank you for talking about this. I think this was a God thing, telling me its time to heal.
Give it your best shot in Jan 2024 - commit to 30 days and I promise you, you won’t want to stop as you will definitely feel multiple improvements in your health and body. I also ate clean and lots of veg and salad and thought how is this going to be possible - along came Graves Disease, an Autoimmune, so I had a good reason to give it my all. 6 weeks later I shocked my Dr and myself as I totally reversed Graves and my lifelong skin issues. Still enjoying Carnivore 11 month later 🌸
Psoriasis and other skin issues can be healed with a whole food plant-based diet. Have a look at Dr. Joel Fuhrman on psoriasis.
I had skin probs all my life, but carnivore/ketovore cleared it up completely. I feel so much better and don't take that handful of OTC meds everyday like I used to. Give it a good try. First couple of days I noticed I didn't need antacid and stopped snoring...felt calm. after a week I didn't need pain meds. I think that it was sugar inflammation though. (took getting off ALL sweet supps...including monk fruit/stevia) I think a period of healing for your body is more the rule than the exception. Ketoflu happens when your body adjusting to using different fuel source.
Stephanie, I have battled severe psoriasis for about 15 years...many attempts to clear it with docs and creams/meds to no avail. I was vegetarian last year for about 9 months and got WORSE!! I learned about carnivore about 7 months ago and switched my eating overnight. I was that convinced after listening to dozens of video testimonials and the carnivore docs. I would say that 90 days may not be enough of a commitment if you have severe skin issues. I saw minor improvements at 90 days (much less itching/flaking), and was admittedly a bit disheartened, but kept going. I mean, what did I have to lose when everything else was a fail?? Around 6 months in, I began to see more significant changes, with my own healthy skin beginning to peep through. Carnivore is NOT that hard and I don't miss the veggies that I loved and enjoyed all my life. I have lost around 20 lbs, but that wasn't the goal. I hope and pray you make a firm commitment to do it for yourself, don't give up if you feel "it's taking too long", and let your body have the time it needs to heal on the inside so you can see the results on the outside. Blessings!
It will be worth it start slow cutting carbs sugar processed food seed oils
The food you are eating now is real food. I definitely miss all the fake food and will most likely always have cravings of some sort. It is just not worth the pain. It is a blessing to have so many strong people searching for their best life on channels like yours.
To answer your question, the audio reproduction on this video is very good. The visuals are also pleasing, so you’re obviously doing something right. 😊🤗
Cool, thanks!
Hello Cameron. New subscriber. You sound like my sister, not sure how your husbands podcast showed up but I watched his interview with you. I do best Carnivore and I’m mostly with a few veggies now and then. 29 years ago my sister passed with colon cancer. She struggled most of her life with digestive issues. The only time she was healthy and could gain weight was when she ate lots of meat. Looking back in the 80s us girls thought we were fat and had to eat salads right? Salad went right through her, sorry for the visual. Carnivore is saving people’s lives. It’s so nice to see a recovery story. I believe she also had celiac disease. I have gluten allergy . Thanks for telling your story. I grew up in Toronto Ohio. So when you said Steubenville I thought Wow! I figured your associated with the University. Welcome welcome.
The first thing I noticed when I clicked this video was how lustrous your hair looks!
Higher protein will build your bones, so you are correct about feeling stronger even in your very core.
I'm so happy for you and will pray for continued health and improvement.
I was going to suggest the carnivore diet months ago but figured you had already tried it. I had Endometriosis, have Celiac, and Hashimoto and did the carnivore diet with my husband because he wanted to lose weight. I was lazy about making side dishes for myself and joined him. He lost weight and I gained muscle. I felt really good 💪🏻! I’m going to try it again :) Also, it helped make me regular 🚽 Sorry if TMI.
😆🙌🏻
I needed to see your message tonight. You have truly suffered through a lot just to survive each day and raise your children and you are so young. I was complaining about having a stinking cold for 7 days. A cold! I have been humbled. I have 50 lbs to lose and have removed sugar and processed foods out of my diet. As a result, I am feeling much better. I do miss eating those comfort foods but compared to your sacrifice, just to feel decent, I have to remember that next time those cravings creep in. You and your beloved sister are in my prayers.
16:04 it seems like you need electrolytes or even just some pink Himalayan salt. You could also use an *Adrenal* supplement. Do you have enough salt in your diet? And have you ever taken any kind of Adrenal supplement?
My daughter suffered from POTS a while back. She looked into it and just found out that she needs to increase her salt, and in particular pink Himalayan salt. Electrolytes would also work for you.
I remember, we were at Mass one day and she felt like she was going to pass out. So I just told her to sit down and actually lay down. She needed to put her head down because her blood pressure dropped, blood pooled to her feet, so before her body would drop on its own to bring the blood back to her head, she could just lay down herself to bring the blood back to her head. At the end of the Mass, I asked Father if he could bring us some water. I'll never forget him running to the back of the church to get some bottled water. Someone even stopped him to talk to him and he said, I can't right now, and he kept running to get her the water! 🤣 Father Joshua at SJC is the best!
My daughter always brings her water with her everywhere she goes. I don't know why this time she didn't bring it with her. She had left it in the car.
My daughter was actually the one who started Keto. I joined her just to show support. And that's how I started my Keto journey. I didn't have any reason to start it. But when I did and then eventually I went to carnivore, the Chronic pain that I had in my neck was gone. I was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis years ago, and before that I had chronic pain for decades. But with Carnivore, the pain is no longer!
Amazing! Diet is so crucial. I have Crohn's (since 7 yrs old) so I know this suffering. And while I pay incredible attention to diet - so much so that I became a holistic nutritionist - there is something in chronic illness that points us to what we're holding onto. I was so happy to hear you talk about what is breaking your heart! Whenever I dare to 'let go' is when I heal. Surrender has become my greatest healer. 💗
Thank god for Carnivore
I just stumbled upon your video while looking for carnivore videos... I was sharing your video and your carnivore story with a friend of mine, and praying with you.... then realized all of a sudden you last name, then remember you said your husband was recording.... and it hit me, YOUR HUSBAND IS MATT FRAD!!!! HAHA! I watch his stuff to learn apologetics etc all the time. SUCH a small world. SO Glad to have stumbled on your channel. I've been struggling on carnivore bad, but you are giving me so much confidence and motivation to stick to it, for my wife, for my children..... Because as a man I don't breast feed (obviously), but in a different way I provide life through work, through protection, through service, through my own health to tend to the whatever needs my family has.... and in that way your idea of breast feeding late at night, and uniting it with "This is my body which I offer up for you" literally brought me to tears. THAT is what Jesus wants us to do, to pick up our cross and follow Him daily, not just in works, but how we treat our bodies! And if giving up satiating food, to ensure good health physically and mentally by any control I possibly have, then I must sacrifice and give my body willingly for the good of my wife and children... YOU have turned a 1.5 year Journey of trying to find my rhythm with carnivore into an AHA! Moment. You are truly blessed. A little background, I did carnivore for 3 months last year in the summer and haven't felt better in my life! Since then I've been addicted to sugar, gained 30+ pounds and have just been an awful mess emotionally and physically and mentally. Not much of a stable point for my family, but it's been getting better slowly... NOW with your insight into sacrificing our bodies for our loves.... just Wow. God Bless you Cameron.
Praise the Lord!!! Thank you, I needed to hear that too! Will make this a sacrifice for love of my family! God bless!! 😊
She sounds a bit like me! My current diagnoses include: Hashimotos, celiac, endometriosis, Barrett's, arthritis...I have lost my thyroid, gallbladder, ovary....I just turned 40. I am new to carnivore but already my TPO antibodies have dropped which is amazing. I have fallen off the wagon due to Thanksgiving but I am inspired to get going again with this video!! ❤❤
Cameron, thank you for your story & witness for Ehlers Danlos sufferers. You’ve come a long way. I pray for your continued & complete healing.
One thing to add- you may want to consider testing for the MTHFR gene mutation. Many EDS patients also suffer (far too long) with this. Often, supplements with methylfolate (not regular folate & certainly not folic acid) help on many levels- for metabolism/increased energy, less pain, and overall wellbeing. May be reasonable to consider.
This is exactly what I needed to get my head in the game. PCOS, Insulin resistant, and never had a pregnancy in 17 years of marriage. I am also starting to feel the hip dislocating thing you mentioned. Not popping out but it wants to. I am praying this helps me finally conceive. Thank you for the motivation!
Check out Dr. Robert Kiltz on UA-cam. He’s an OBGYN who recommends the carnivore diet for his patients who aren’t getting/staying pregnant. You might like his content.
Praying for your intention of conceiving and bearing a child.
I appreciate that so much!@@margaretreistroffer-hall9652
It makes sense that carnivore would help given the cause behind EDS. EDS is caused by a genetic variation in the collagen your body makes. Because collagen is essentially the fibrous weave that holds your cells together, this variant explains the loose, easily dislocated joints; the leaky gut problems; and the POTS. Leaky gut leads to all the autoimmune stuff. Because carnivore is very gentle on the gut, it allows for healing from all the inflammation, which means a better barrier within the gut over time. The improved nutrition absorption and the concentrated, quality protein in the setting of a calmed immune system allow for healing of other body systems. Glad to hear it’s working for you. You could likely see continued improvement for months to years as your body gradually heals. The source of EDS is genetic, so you can never get rid of it, but you can adapt by avoiding the modern processed food diet like the plague it is. Praying for you and your family for those days when it’s all too much, but thank you for the lessons that your tenacity and openness give the rest of us.
I have read that seeds and grains can be attributed to leaky gut issues. Interestingly they are pushed as a healthy options in breads, cereals etc. Our microbiome affects so many other systems in our bodies which most of us are unaware of. We need to educate ourselves.
I live in Ireland plenty of grass fed beef, creamy butter free range eggs are standard. Great place to be a Carnivore 😊
Same here 🎉
My husband and I started carnivore a couple of months ago to prepare for a diet change for our 11 yo daughter who has rheumatoid issues. A rare steak is the BEST thing for our body! Many prayers for you.
I have RA, amongst a long laundry list of other health issues. I'd love to know if it works for your daughter. I hope it does!
I'm 67. One of my knees started buckling and causing me to fall. I had no strength in my thighs to stop the fall. Shortly, after carnivore all that quit and I can run up and down stairs without holding to rails. My muscles are strong now. So happy for you.
Carnivore has changed my life. All my suffering and inflammation has drastically reduced. GERD, IBS, joint pain, muscle pain, chronic full body hives, plantar facitus, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, reactive hypoglycemia, chronic migraines, acne…. All of it gone.
I'm starting a transition feom Keto to Carnivore on 1/1 but thank you so much for this as well as not being afraid to speak your truth of how God has supported you!!! This is so amazing!!!
Beef, salt and water! It is so healing!
I’ve watched several videos of Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson…and Dr. Ken Berry… discussing the Carnivore Diet…. This morning, as my Mom and I watched your husband interviewing you on Pints a year ago, I kept thinking, I wonder if she’s tried the Carnivore diet…
After Mom went down for a nap, I watched this!! Yay!! Praise God!
Please pray I can stick to Carnivore/Keto, very difficult as I’m 24/7 caregiver for 88 year old Mom…and I need to lose about 80 pounds and get in better shape to care for her!
Will continue praying for you as we pray for Matt and others who hold and teach the Catholic faith!
Donated anonymously for your sister and so sorry to hear about this. I hope many will help even small amounts add up. I’ll keep her in prayer.
I was the first Australian Coordinator. I was able to go visit Gaming before the program began. It was very beautiful! Enjoy your time there!
This is my introduction to your channel and a new sub. I've been carnivore for three years now which had been so nourishing. Really interesting to hear your story and the faith connection as well.
This is so inspiring. I, too, have been trying a lot of diet ideas for chronic illnesses. It’s a balancing act of sort.
The carnivore diet has been life changing for me with Crohn's. It has also had profound impacts on mental acuity. Judy Cho (@NutritionwithJudy), Dr. Shawn Baker (@DrShawnBakerPodcast), Dr. Anthony Chaffee (@anthonychaffeemd), and many others have lots of content and shared stories of profound health improvement with dietary change and guidance on how to best implement the diet. The diet does take a a change in outlook, and I often say I now eat to live; I don't live to eat. As time has gone on I really don't miss the things I used to enjoy (and I certainly do not miss the consequences of eating those things).
Many nuts and seeds are really high in oxalates, which can be highly inflammatory, especially in joints. Unfortunately oxalates can take years to detox from. There are many discussions on the carnivore diet channels regarding oxalates.
I love hearing the updates on your health. My mom also suffers from chronic pain and many other illnesses and has a lot of unhealed trauma and brokenness in her life. I see firsthand how hard it is to deal with a broken heart while also dealing with physical sickness. This gives me hope that someday she might have peace. Praying for you and your family 💗
Oh Cameron! I had no idea you suffered like this! I truly pray you're able to find healing this way!
I know exactly what you mean about the pushups. I was working on the landscape in our church parking lot and I felt the strong desire to run….so I did….for the first time in 50 years. The carnivore diet has not only healed me from what I assumed was the normal aches and pains of aging it has made me stronger.
Amazing! So glad for you to be getting well, to be off all your meds is incredible ❤🎉
Cameron - you look great! Praying daily for you and your sister 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so happy you are feeling better, Cameron. 🥰
I am so inspired by this Cameron. I've been doing carnivore since October and feeling better than I have in years. Suffering from AI issues from Sarcoidosis since 2008. It's been difficult at times to get enough fat but participating in a carnivore support group has been helpful. Id love to continuing hearing how your journey goes with this. My doctor is very supportive of this diet change, which is so comforting. God knew what he was doing when He created our world. Everything we need for nourishment is at our fingertips. Its just a matter of finding what works for you. Praying for Meredith. Maybe she'll consider carnivore. Ive heard about some amazing results for folks with cancer. Happy Advent and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for sharing the heavy heart 'stuff'. Heavy stuff feels isolating when it seems like youre the only one going through it so it helps when others share they are also going through things.
I’m so glad you’re feeling stronger!
I had major gut issues , tried loads of diets , felt best on a super high fat diet, red meat dominant diet. But still had joint pain, constant migraines and chronic fatigue , memory issues, visual disturbances, postural hypertension, and mega gut issues ..all that jazz , I did a 10 day water fast (with fasting salts added to my water -electrolytes) also had herbal tea and one black coffee , and since that I have felt so much better!! The main difference so far has been no migraines!! And the fatigue is gone , the weakness has gone , joint pain gone, it’s been amazing , I can also tolerate so much more food! I reintroduced different foods and can now have loads more bread, eat lots more veg and can even tolerate sourdough! Had some couscous the other day and that wasn’t an issue either!
To put it simply, your body thinks your dying (because you’re starving) and it breaks down faulty cells and regenerates lovley new ones so that you are a superhuman who can go hunt down some food( think cave man- anthropologically, we are adapted for famine and feast)
Super important that when you come off the fast you refeed in a very careful way , bone broth followed by meat and fat, nothing that will spike your blood glucose and insulin .
After 3days if you had a potato you would end up in A&E so then it’s just a mental game (very boring) but the results have been incredible!
Special treat - carnivore waffles. 4 eggs, 1 tbsp beef gelatin, 1 tbsp collagen (optional) beat with mixer, let stand for 10 minutes. Make waffles. Eat with butter. I use a sprinkle of cinnamon sometimes. ❤
Sounds great!
Cameron, I had no idea how bad things were. I am so sorry. Im over the moon that you're on the mend and the diet is helping so much. I have health problems (nothing as bad as what you went through, but it's still debilitating at times) so you've made me determined to gove this a solid try. I've done ot before but wasn't too strict. I'm going to be strict this time.
Cameron!, was praying you would do Carnivore! I am so excited and happy for you! Just thrilled to hear your results and healing journey. Glory to God. I just started Carnivore the end of October. I had serious autoimmune issues too since I was 12. I’m healing as well. I couldn’t get past edema, and esophageal issues and just too much to name. I was able to swallow again and all my Edema left in two weeks of carnivore. I also do better with more beef but I love ground bison as well.
My treat is cream brûlée without sugar or quiche without a crust just to have a creamy texture. I turned 60 this week and suspect this will be the best decade of my life! God Bless you!
Hi from Sweden. I live here since my early childhood but i am born In Austria. Hope you will have a nice trip there and I wish you a merry Christmas and a healthy New Carnivore Year. Blessings🥰
Would love the ADVENT PLAYLIST. 🎵 I don't have a moment to read every comment to check if it was posted elsewhere and didn't see in the notes. All the best in your health journey. Anything out of the well-known, reached norm is terrifyingly hard at times. 🙏 Always nice to heard a bit about Steubie U. 🤗
I’ve had autoimmune issues since I was thirteen (ulcerative colitis, crohns, anaphylaxis, etc.) I did the carnivore diet last year for 6 months and felt really good on it. I found that I could have squash and that was fine, but not everyone feels that way. I’ve been in a flare up ever since I got off of it, I need to get back on but it is so difficult with the price of food lately!
You are a miracle and blessing to others who have had some of your Health issues. There is always hope. Never give up. God is good.
This made me so happy to hear! I have been watching you for a while and I was going to recommend the carnivore diet but I heard you say that you’ve done it all so I didn’t. I’m glad someone else did! I’ve been doing keto carnivore for a while and it has helped so many things that weren’t even diagnosed for me! Praise God you’re feeling better💗
Thanks for sharing!!
This is great, Cameron! I didn't know if you did any avocados or olives or either of those oils, but if not, tallow and butter will get it done! You look beautiful and I hope your body continues to heal ❤
Thank you for sharing this update. Having health problems that doctors can’t diagnose is so hard. I have been sick for 18 years and have no answers. This is how I learned there are more options than the standard Western medical system. I found the carnivore community by accident and now you. I believe I was divinely directed to you and specifically to this update. Eating healthy is always beneficial. In my quest to find answers I also have already eliminated many things from my diet or I have tried other very specific diets. This included vegetarian and elimination diets. I would suggest that the answer to the carnivore diet over the previous diets is that it is optimal and that your mitochondria are functioning as they should. The evidence of healthy mitochondria is improving health. You do grow new bone and healthier organs gain mass as well which can be reflected on the scale without gaining body size from added adipose (fat) tissue. I have been lowering carbs in general but I have not yet tried going strictly carnivore. My plan is to give it a try. Just lowering the carb load has already reduced the inflammation that I carry. Prayers for you over the holidays. I know it will be a struggle for me too. We have a family full of great cooks and bakers, and they all like to celebrate the holidays in a big way.
Hey Cameron! Fellow EDS, POTS, suspected MCAS, plus endo and PCOS, IBS, etc here. I did carnivore for 2 years before receiving any of my diagnoses. I had a baby while carnivore after 3.5 years of infertility. He was an actual miracle. I took a 2 year hiatus from carnivore after getting the diagnoses and tried to add foods back in. Needless to say, I'm back carnivore for almost 3 months now because my NaPro and my EDS doctors both instructed me to. They said similar things: I wouldn't suggest this to everyone, but it works for your body. We're coming up on year 2 of trying for a 2nd baby. Please pray for us ❤️ Praying for you, Matt, and your children through this journey!
God bless you!! Have you looked into Napro Technology?! Prayers for that next baby!

Thank you keep going don’t matter what people said they still going to talk no matter what . We feel good that s what Matter . Amen 🙏
Praise God~ & I do, every day. SO many people have given all glory to God for intervening, answering prayer, in some way leading them to eating this way. I began to notice these references a couple years back, so I started an informal poll of sorts. Of the people I asked- & who responded- it was a resounding "YES" in answer to whether or not they felt God's hand in this.
Not only is this hugely encouraging, it also reminds us that He is most surely interested in even the smallest of details, as we may perceive them. We can boldly approach His throne with confidence, knowing God has the answers before we form the question!
"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of, even before you ask HIm." ~Matthew 6:8
I'm so glad it has helped you! Beef is like the one food I do well on too, and I'm still so sad I can't have dairy.
So happy carnivore is working for you, Cameron! I too wanted to recommend it to you a while back, but heard that you already tried it unsuccessfully. I love carnivore for how it changed everything for me, although I didn't suffer nearly as much as you.
I've always had GI and skin issues, depressive and anxious tendencies, low energy, cold/heat/stress intolerance. About ten years ago, things have accelerated: my body started to become very stiff in my muscle, joints, bones (at 30, I felt like an 80-year-old), I would get random joint pain, my muscles would always hurt as if after a hard workout, I was always sleeping yet still tired, working out became too exhausting, my eyes and skin were inflamed, my nerves were on the edge, I had discomfort in my pelvic region.
Carnivore took all of that away pretty quickly. Now my mind and body feel even better than in my childhood. Apparently, I am not a melancholic/depressive type as I always thought of myself (it was just nutritional deficiencies). My body is extremely flexible and strong without much effort (in the past, I had to spend so much time on fitness just to feel ok and to maintain muscle). I figured that all the stiffness and joint issues were due to oxalate overload. My Dexa scan now shows my bone mineralization is off the charts (about 5 years ago, I had signs of osteoporosis). I don't just tolerate cold and heat, I enjoy cold plunges and saunas:). My sweet tooth is officially gone! Now, it's been three years on carnivore and things are still changing for the better.
My first year I really didn't know what I was doing. I was so afraid of getting a heart attack:)). Also, I was trying to do everything perfect -- grass-fed, mostly beef, lots of fat and organs (which I craved at the time). I was afraid to do something wrong, so I followed experts' advice, like adding fruit and honey (bad advice), even more organs, avoided poultry, seafood, pork for various reasons. It was exhausting and limiting. I felt ravenous for about two years and ate around the clock. Then I started eating the things I was craving without worrying about it being organic or grass-fed or if it has the right omegas ratio, etc. (thanks to Ken Berry and Judy Cho). It was just chicken wings and Korean short rib for a while:). No more organs for me except an occasional piece of liver. Now I enjoy mostly lean steaks except when I am craving a stick of butter:). Sometimes it's a full day of Greek yogurt with whey protein. Basically, no more rules, just eating for the sake of eating and as close to zero carbs as possible. Maybe that's what stabilized my appetite and hormones finally, or maybe my body finally topped its nutritional reserves. Now, I go about 6 hours in between meals naturally and eat only twice a day most days. For me personally, it's such freedom not to think about food all the time. Also, I kind of lost interest in eating for pleasure - I am ok with just a bowl of cold leftover ground beef:). So no longer do I have to exercise my willpower when it comes to food. Cookies are no longer calling to me:)). But I can have my potatoes or ice-cream or mango if I really want to with no real issues once in while.
I say all that to give you encouragement on your carnivore journey as things will be mostly going up and down for a while, but the longer you go, the more improvements you will have (even in the areas you didn't think needed improving) and the more stable the results will be. I am still amazed at what it's doing to me even after three years!
I have rheumatoid arthritis and other health issues. After having great success with keto, losing a large amount of weight, and a reduction inflammation and pain, this new year I switched up to carnivore. Today is day 7 of eating beef, chicken, pork, eggs and dairy. I eat 2 meals a day, feel great, and have dropped 11 lbs. When I check my macros, the huge amount of fat does worry me slightly. But a couple of days ago I came across some videos warning of the risk of oxalate dumping by going carnivore, with awful side effects, and to be honest, it is scaring me. They strongly recommend tapering off oxalates slowly. So before I rush out to buy salads and veg, can I ask if you experienced oxalate dumping?
@@cinnamon-spice I'm excited for you! I'm not sure if I had the oxalate dumping. I definitely expected it, since oxalates are my main problem, but the list of possible symptoms is so broad and vague that I could never attribute any of my symptoms specifically to oxalate dumping. In the beginning and from time to time, I had some digestive issues and some joint stiffness, but I've had those for years before going carnivore and much more intense. If anything, those symptoms would typically appear with oxalate consumption and quickly go away after a day or two of eating only meat. Although I believe that oxalate dumping is a possibility, I don't think it is usually as dramatic. It seems like a bit of fear mongering to me. Do what makes more sense to you and what's appropriate for your personality. "Cold turkey" was perfect for me, but the slow transition is supposedly better:)).
@@annakolesnikova7463 Thank you so much for your reply. The horrendous stories I've read about dumping does strike me as a bit of fear mongering... I hope I'm not wrong. I'm doing carnivore to try to get my RA into remission, I definitely don't want my joints to hurt more with dumping.
@@cinnamon-spice You are welcome and good luck!
I’m so happy for you and I haven’t finished the video yet. When I saw you on Pints, I wanted to suggest carnivore but you know, that would seem like a weird person who doesn’t know telling you what you need. So, wish you well and I would like to see some updates. I’m ketovore and hesitate to go full carnivore but may do so in order to settle a little better the health issues. Cheers
I'm so glad you found something that helps! I work at a functional medicine clinic and don't mean to be one of those people who tells you more things to try, but some of our EDS patients have found tremendous relief using frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) therapy. Thank you for being so open and honest about your journey. I pray the Lord keeps working through you and in you for His glory!
Thank you Cameron for your witness of life. I am so moved by your vulnerability and the inner strength you exude while living with chronic conditions. I live with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disorder affecting the nerves, been diagnosed since 2020, 3 months postpartum. Your story has inspired me deeply and encouraged me to live with great hope. Carnivore may be the next thing we'll try as both my husband and I live with autoimmune conditions. So good to know that you are feeling better with carnivore, may the Lord grant you full healing
Yes give it a try! Good luck!!
Yes, most people find beef is the answer. Keep up the good work! You are still healing. Give yourself time.
This is my first comment I hope you find and read it. I started a low carb diet to reverse type two diabetes. I started getting light headed when I stand, so pots symptoms. I have to add a half teaspoon good salt to every 20 ounces of water and adding trace minerals. I also have to take good electrolytes once a day. My sodium and electrolytes were that low. When I do this I no longer get lightheaded when I stand.
I’ve been keto for 8 mos and have transitioned to Ketovore over the past 2 months and have lost 65 lbs and feel better than I’ve felt in my entire life!
61 yr old male, was morbidly obese at 292 lbs and am now 227 lbs. Have reversed my Type 2 diabetes (A1C was 8 and is now 5.6), reversed my high blood pressure, IBS, depression and anxiety, horrible acid reflux/herd is gone, and the chronic arthritis in my knees that felt like bone on bone pain went away after only a few weeks on Keto (and I was still 290 lbs, so it wasn’t the weight loss, it was the elimination of sugar and industrial seed oils)…
I’ve continued to improve my health with the conversion from keto to ketovore (approx 10-15 total grams of carbs per day) and may go full carnivore at some point but I really feel great so having some occasional berries, nuts, cheese and veg in moderation has worked for me.
Based on your story, I firmly believe that like Mikaela Peterson, your severe auto immune condition would def benefit most by adopting a strict carnivore (or even lion) diet to help out your medical issues into full remission.
Remember, it took Mikaela several years to feel better so just be patient and best of luck in your health and wellness journey. God bless you and your family. 😊
😊thank you
When you said “I am really exciting” instead of “I am really excited” hahaha! You are very exciting, I promise!
We've been eating meat-based for a few years now, and I fully agree with your statement saying to "give it more time". There are many benefits & changes that take place in the first 30/60/90 days, to be sure. Yet even more after 6 mo's/9 mo's/a year~ and it continues from there on, in our experience. Not only health markers, autoimmune, & chronic conditions fading or disappearing, but also things like autophagy, body composition, & physical strength & endurance~ to name a few. One of the most noticeable for me has been the mental clarity & ability to multi-task like never before. Deeper, more rejuvenating sleep~ the list goes on & on.
As for any actual "tips & tricks", the one thing I wish I'd been told at the beginning is to be mindful that this is an individual experience, regardless of the universal truths involved. It's not necessary to do it the way everyone else is doing it, or to follow one specific formula. My best advice is to continue consulting God in every detail~ this was huge for me, as I tend to think I should have certain things figured out by now, or that I'm simply not doing some aspect correctly~ that sort of thing. When I ask Him into even the smallest detail, I tend to receive the same peace & guidance that I get when it's something really "huge" in my mind, a critical or heavy circumstance, etc.
The only other thing I'd add is to remain open & flexible, as your needs will change as your body/health & wellness change. It stands to reason that it would be so, right? As time goes on, I've become more & more tuned in to what my body is trying to convey as far as protein, fat, exercise, & rest requirements, meaning what might need refining or backing off of a bit. For example, when I first started I was exercising heavily yet unable to consume enough fuel to meet the energy output demands. It took a full year for me to work up to getting in enough fat & protein in a day, after decades of eating 3-5 tiny meals (grazing) of low fat/high fiber foods. So I cut back the exercise, increased the fat while I was slowly increasing protein. To this day, I still eat more fat than protein, as that's what works for me. Others do better on less~ of either, fat or protein~ & those ratios can vary based on the day, time of month, or how far into this lifestyle a person is.
Okay, I've taken up half the comment section now~ so I'll leave room for others😂 ~I just get so excited hearing from people who are experiencing all the goodness that we have, & are continuing to. Glad to come across yet another forum in which folks can share, learn and encourage one another...just wonderful.
~ Samantha in AZ
😊thank you
Just heard you at 2024 seek! You’re amazing and inspiring and so cute and funny! I’m sad you had all these health issues but truly you made my heart expand with faith and hope! Gracias
Praise the Lord!!
Cameron I'm your fan! You are the only catholic youtuber I truly like and feel inspired by! You are so real and awsome! I have endo too and hearing you gives me hope to become a mom. Wishing you and your family all the best!❤️🙏🏻
Awe 😊 thanks
I’m excited to see you at SEEK again! My friend and I were so grateful to meet you last year. We both struggle with autoimmune issues and it has been difficult for others in our lives to understand or believe the suffering of autoimmune diseases when we look outwardly healthy. Your chronic illness episode with your husband and your talk at SEEK were transformative for the friends in my life to start understanding what life with autoimmune can look like. I know that they are so grateful and I can’t thank you enough for speaking about it. I don’t do a carnivore diet, but last spring I began slowly increasing beef in my diet and there is definitely improvement. Continuing to make slow changes to see what works. God bless you! Lastly, I’m praying for your sister. That news hit home for me when you announced it. My older sister who was the pinnacle of athleticism and health was diagnosed with Stage 4B lymphoma while pregnant. Praise God my niece and sister are both healthy now but the memory of the suffering is still so tangible. I’m sorry hear about this and will be praying for your family!
Trust me when I say this Don't take it the wrong way either but just jump in and eliminate everything but meat. I tried it your way and all you do is make it 10 times harder. It's not that difficult after a week and the rewards away the negatives tenfold. Eliminate all that stuff cold turkey today And you'll really see the benefits
You should try carnivore too
I would have to say that liver has been one of the most important supplements that I've used for EDS. Copper is the key here. It's necessary for the production of healthy connective tissue. If a person has copper dysregulation on top of EDS genetic factors it's going to create a mess. Inflammation causes copper dysregulation. Certain nutrients can cause a dysregulation. So a dysregulation is when you aren't able to use your copper properly and/or aren't getting enough of a bioavailable source (which is meat and highest in liver). So if you can't use it properly, it becomes toxic and it's creates this vicious inflammatory cycle. Increasing inflammation while the inflammation causes the dysregulation. Liver has the most bioavailable form of copper. But not only that it has a lot of vitamin A that increases your bodies ability to use copper. So meat can help a lot, but getting liver in there will work miracles for your joints, as well as your pots symptoms. Copper is needed for mitochondria health and poor mitochondria health causes electrolyte dysregulation. Sorry, dumping a whole lot of info here.
But my joints are soooo different now. My whole life I've been so lose everywhere. While I still have significant hypermobility, I don't have such loose and, especially painful joints. I've done carnivore for a couple weeks, and I did dairy and I think dairy is a bad idea. I had way too much of it. 😂 And I just gained weight and had a lot of inflammation. So I plan on going on a meat based diet come the new year without any dairy. But, I've had so many grains without even having to go severely strict on a diet. The other game changes has been lowering my gastro infection load. And I think that's one of the biggest benefits of carnivore, but I managed to do that with the infamous controversial Chlorine Dioxide therapy. It got rid of all my mast cell symptoms!
I’m so sorry to hear about what your sister is going through, and will pray for her. I wonder if she’s read about the work of Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College? He uses a metabolic approach to target cancer (which can be done in addition to the standard treatments like chemo/radiation), and has published case reports of patients, including with brain cancer, who have had remarkable success with it.
As to being a carnivore through the holidays: I might make a rare exception (although never for seed oils, food colorings, weird preservatives or emulsifiers, non-specific ‘flavorings’ in ingredient lists, etc.-nothing made by scientists in labs or refineries), but I’ll stay mostly carnivore. The best trick is to be full. Eat meat before you attend any event likely to have tempting food, and it’ll be so much easier. And try to ask yourself, “Is this worth the consequences? Is it worth the joint pain?” I also have EDS/joint pain, and this is how I talk myself out of bad decisions when I’m not too depressed. (Sometimes the angel of health on my shoulder does lose. The consequences then serve as lessons for the future.)
I suffer from a brain injury and subsequent chronic fatigue. I've tried to do keto, but for some reason I can't go without a little bit of carbs. I get really nauseous otherwise. We are all so different, it takes a lot of experimenting. I'm really happy that you found something that is helping you. I think you look great! You inspire me❤️
Came here as a Carnivore Channel. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Carnivore.
Best thing I’ve done with carnivore:
I bought an inexpensive dehydrator on Amazon. Semi freeze a chuck roast with a good bit of fat. Slice thin, place on dehydrator racks, sprinkle with salt & dehydrate for 10 hrs at 150. “Carnivore Crack” by Dr Shawn keeps me going!
God bless you and keep you safe. You're a beautiful woman. God bless you, your husband and your children. I pray you are on the road of recovery.
Thank you so much!
Cameron, I’m so glad that I found your channel! However, I’m very sorry to learn about your sister’s brain cancer diagnosis. Coincidentally, there are many UA-camrs who have had great success with treating their brain cancer with a carnivore diet. Dr. Seyfried, from Boston College, also recommends keto/carnivore diet for brain cancer. I’m praying for you and your sister!🙏🏻
I’ve been suffering for over a decade with what started as just Celiac (Duhrings) and morphed into a myriad of food allergies within a matter of several years (postpartum). We now know I have 3 coinfections of Lyme, a house that was riddled with black mold and possibly POTS. I’ve spent so much money on supplements that barely keep me floating…I am so thankful for your interview with Matt-my husband and I will be eating carnivore for the entirety of lent.
hope and pray it works for y'all!!!
I’ve been carnivore for 6 months and it has been great.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I’ve followed the carnivore diet for 2 years now and have had several benefits from it. Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr Ken Berry and Dr. Phillip Ovadia are great UA-cam resources.
Please pray that my siblings will listen to you. I am sending this video to the all. They politely brush me off. Many of them have diabetes and do not believe it is reversible.
I’m starting carnivore after the Christmas left over are gone 😂 But seriously my body is crying right now.
You will get stronger. Listening to every ketovore story on UA-cam I can tell you this is the beginning of a great thing. Don’t go back. Animal Protein and fat are going to work wonders for you.
I have just found your channel. You are such a blessing. I did carnivore for a month,but my body is so sore, I have gone back to including fruit and veg,but don't feel great. I am confused , maybe I must do carnivore for longer. Thank you again.
Dear Cameron. You look amazing and it sounds like you feel amazing too. Thanks be to God. So many websites about carnivore diet when you Google it. Can you or someone please provide a resource link to where someone can start to learn about it.
Hey from Brisbane 🇦🇺
I'm 55M, been carnivore for 10 months, and it has been life changing. Lost 25kg so far, reversed t2 diabetes, joints are working better than they have in decades. I'll encourage anyone to learn more, the benefits are numerous.
Great to hear your health journey.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
