I saw a new NP yesterday. She was not happy about my meat based diet and said it wasn't safe. She actually told me she "guessed" I probably have at least stage 1 kidney disease if not stage 2. She told me it's not possible to reverse diabetes. She called me herself today to tell me my A1c is 6.9. It was 11.2 this time last year. I told her the next one will be 5.0. Watch me!
Hubby has the same happen, I was asked to leave the diabetic nurses office after questioning her sense in telling a diabetic to have wholemeal toast for breakfast when he has never eaten breakfast in his life. After 3 months on low carb(he won't join me on the dark side 😁)(yet) I had his bloods back to between 5-6, the nurse couldn't understand it, wish I could of been there to tell her to F off.
So I had my lab work follow up today, and all my blood tests are normal. There's no indication of fatty liver or kidney disease. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, but I know I can cure that with my diet, too! She literally gave me a gold star and said she'll see me in 6 months 💪
I gladly trade the “boredom” of carnivore for the nightmare of doctor’s offices, lab work, pharmacies, and yes dentist offices. I have saved a fortune on this diet.
I have to tell you , I was on a statin for 3 months and my feet hurt so badly I could barely walk. I am a nurse and used to walking over 15000 steps a day. My joints also hurt. I did some research and stopped the statin and everything went back to normal. At first I just thought it was age. I also started keto. I am ketovore. Very few carbs. I am stronger than ever. I am 67 working out and going strong. Love your channel.
It's so good to see another person who basically found the thing that actually cured themselves when the all the doctors just wanted to throw medications at the symptoms. Amanda seems so happy now and it's great to see.
We've been going to a naturopath focusing on actual healthcare and things that would be preventative over sickcare. Food is the most important medicine for people. Hospitals are so backwards and there's so much money flowing through there it would be like steering the Titanic with a paddle. We won't see change until people start opening their eyes....and that's true for so much more than just the medical industry.
Recently an elderly friend died she was always on a diet weight watchers food?? Then she got sick with and went to hospital they feed her health food not carnivore her insurance ran out they felt she was healthy enough to go to senior recovery hospital she ate healthy no carnivore she went to hospital again finally died from healthy hospital diet
I can relate....after my stroke in was in therapy. The food during that stay was so nasty! You know when your shit is almost unbearable to even you somethings not right. I started to feel healthier after I got home it took a bit to back to normal. It felt like I got way to much food. Funny, I hear about the fasting and one meal a day I chuckle cuz I've been eating like this for 40 years. I never knew anything about fasting....but instinctively ate 1 meal a day except while pregnant. I have a question for you guys how is it now trying to eat just meat with the economy being how it is? And also do you have any reservations with not having any knowledge about the country of origin for the meat and the following of sanitation procedures?
I’d like to go further and say the term “ healthcare industry“, shouldn’t even exist. Medical practice. Health care. There is no practicing of medicine in the so-called healthcare industry. There is simply the practice of creating unending income streams from people who have been sickened by having worthless solutions thrown at them. If I break a bone, I’m going straight to the ER, but if I’m having some sort of complaint with my body I go to my acupuncturist. I no longer trust the medical profession to know what’s the best for me.
I try to suggest tiny dietary changes with fam/friends. I began with organic in 07. (After many invasive g.i. tests and meds, and specialists who never broached what i was eating. Then went gf. Then hardcore keto. Then, Carnivore. All wonderful improvements in my health. (Amazing. Just change food. 😚)
WELL. I thought I was ALONE!!!!! I had pretty bad diabetes and this was fixed by "ketovore" diet. I had so many problems that I never even noticed that I used to have dry heaving and nausea EVERY morning. One day, though, I couldn't even eat anything... Tests were all inconclusive. I even ended up having endoscopies and even an exploratory surgery!!! Because they thought I had swallowed a metallic bristle from a grill brush 🤷♂. I also had macular edema around that time!!! Eventually, I was diagnosed with SIBO with a breath test. No matter what I did, it wouldn't go away: antibiotics, probiotics, tons of fiber supplements. Other complications (renal failure, retinopathy and the macular edema, a non-healing ulcer on my foot) and ever-increasing doses of insulin made me switch to keto / ketovore. All this stuff went away. Today, ~3 years later: normal kidney function, normal blood sugars, A1c 4.9-5.1, retinopathy reversed, no SIBO, no heartburn, no gastroparesis, no weakness, no dizziness, no headaches (migraines all my life before)! A-freakin-MAZING.
This might sound sillyu, but I was so happy when - a few weeks ago - I dropped a blender blade on my foot and got a nasty cut on a toe. Why? First because it hurt! Pain is so awesome, we take it for granted or berate it. But the feeling of having no feeling is so much scarier! And then, because it actually healed normally in ~10 days. Big deal. Before: this would have been a months long, life threatening situation for me.
I am so sorry that you and I and so many others have to go through this getting healthy despite the opposite advice or complete lack of knowledge of the entire medical industry, doctors of all kinds. I’m glad this young woman is getting better
GREAT guest!! I'm so happy for Amanda that she took charge of her own well being and was successful. Keep sharing the truth and motivating others to take charge of their health.
I’ve never had a doctor suggest a dietary change, just medications. Carnivore for 2 months and have no joint pain and have never felt better….. clear headed and energetic
I love that Amanda talked non stop and excitedly for the first 17 minutes! She is clearly so well and thriving on carnivore and brilliant to hear her spreading the word her patients too. Definitely start that UA-cam channel!
Wow! Great show. Amanda and I have a lot in common. I’m new. 1 month carnivore, just finished 2 month BBBE with Dr. Ken Berry and Beef & Butter Girl. From Dec. 25,2022 - Feb. 27, 2023, I lost 10 lbs., totally ecstatic. Migraines gone, headaches gone; I did get Pink Eye. It healed really fast. Currently I have shingles. Yeah! I’m thinking it’s all got to come out. I’ve been really un-well for 1/2 century. I’m 58 in 25 days. My downs were 2015-2017, spend most my life on couch. Right now I’m healing fast. Faster then everything I read, watched, & been shared info. When I started I said I’d do it from January1-31; then I jumped into February BBBE. I complete it tomorrow. Brain fog is gone. Mean temper gone. Pain free until last Monday when Shingles came to be. I made my own tincture topical and internals I use mine and Dr. Berg’s vitamin suggestions. I’m doing very well. I do Omad & 2mad. I personally don’t care for the butter bites. I made them. I’ve decided to just keep it simple. I’m really loving this concoction called carnivore coffee. Scoop of salt to taste or whichever I’m in the mood for with 2 egg yokes and 4 tbsp. Butter hot water 12 ounces. Let it sit 30 seconds whip/stir then add more hot water and cool water. It’s yummy! I stopped coffee, HWC, & stevia. I’m on correct vitamins. I’m MTHFR. My sleep has gotten better. I’ve been a walking zombie for years. Now 7-8 hours of sleep each night. I’m working on my IR and other issues. I bought the keto mojo. There’s nothing like taking charge of my health. I’ve fought the system since youth. To dust we return. This was a topic I’m so happy to have watched.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce it’s all baby steps of course. Listening to your story I could simply change our names and add 13 different experiences that brought me close to death. Keep up and keep on announcing your truth. I’ll forward people that it may support. Just need to know where on UA-cam or facebook to send them.
@@karenhunt-cook2192 you are amazing! Thank you. I will reply with the name of my channel as soon as I post my first video. It is being edited. Or should I say I am learning to edit videos😀
Ive just finished a 28 day water only fast 3 days ago. It has changed my relationship with food and my body feels 'clean' and flushed. I have a clarity that I have never had before. I have done bone broth, sauerkraut, carnivore and a little fruit. Today I ate carbs for the 1st time and I feel terrible. Cant wait to wake up tomorrow and work out until its all out of me. Trolls please stay out of this, I am just sharing that refined carbs are ruining our health and productivity.
@richard green wow !! Did you have medical supervision for your fast ? The most I’ve done is 48 hours water only . I need to do another . So happy for you that you did that long of a fast for healing ❤❤❤ I agree , ANY carbs no matter the source arthritis acts up .
@A.R I don’t go more than 42 hrs dry fasting That’s enough for me! But it KILLS Hunger No hunger at all Obliterated If only I could dry fast a week! I would never do that tho
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce You have very happy bubbly energy and it is a joy to listen to you! 😄😃😃😃 💗💕💗💕 Your story is extremely motivating and inspiring! Even, be just interviewed everywhere about your experience, because that does spread the word much faster and you gain experience about the questions and what people want to hear. It is easier for you, rather than starting youtube channel (true job! And it sounds that you have already few!).
I don't burn the protien in butter when I brown it, just cook until it gets a light to medium brown. Frozen, I call them my "Heath bars" and I do love them. That's my favorite form of fat.
Dr. Baker, I have watched a number of these very informative life stories of people’s health journeys. The common thread that runs through all of these stories is that people did not regain their health until they were exposed to the benefits of a carnivore diet. And this, without exception, was the result of happenstance and luck. Would you please begin to ask these people what suggestions they might have that would leverage your message and reach to the world. Thanks!
Since being on carnivore since this past Sept- I have had no cycle symptoms except the actual cycle. But I eat mainly beef, have redmand’s sea salt, and water. One month I tried butter- about a table spoon a day, the vital farms pasture butter, and that month I had terrible cramps suddenly, and breast cysts. After that I didn’t use butter and no issues. So the dairy is too inflammatory for cycles. But since on carnivore my peri menopause reversed too! Cycles back to normal with pacing. And no symptoms except the cycle. Love Carnivore diet!
@@Lainer1 I was thinking of that. I read there is an ingredient in dairy not found in ghee that causes inflammation in people. It’s called “Casein.” Will experiment with ghee. I found some that is from pasture raised cows, so perfect. ☺️👌🏻
I was sitting in waiting are for GP. I took my girlfriend a telling look so many depressed people at age around 35+ till 70 maybe more. Im saying to her I hope I won’t here agaun sitting with these people We have change the lifestyle. We left standard health diet and we are 90% carnivore and turning slowly to 100 %. Never felt better.
I’m struggling with very similar issues here with tinnitus on top of it . This gives me hope . I am so happy that you’ve come this far , healing & back to work !!! It’s a dream of mine to get back to work . I will get there !
You will get there.!! I am so sorry you are having those symptoms. It makes life so difficult and not fun. I just wanted to say that patience and grace are super important. I wanted to be better and back to work right away but my body took a year to heal on carnivore not including the year I tried western medicine. You’ve got this!!
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce I’ve got the exact same issues as you did. Except I don’t have papilledema . Which isn’t the case for all IH patients. I’ve got an MRI & MRA scheduled for next month but i can’t wait that long . My head pressure is just debilitating right now . After seeing your interview I’m going to make sure I push for a spinal tap before any sort of meds . I’m so thankful you’re thriving now ❤ I am also eating carnivore 😊
Hi Amanda. Loved your interview. I have IH and I’m beside myself. I have the feeling like my entire head wants to explode 24/7 😪 Burning pressure and crushing feeling and stinging and eye soreness. I’m on diamox but no changes so I worry there’s pathogens or nerve inflammation or something worse. But diagnosed with IH in April. Starting to take iron and dipping my toe into carnivore. Hope there’s hope!
This sounds eerily similar to what I went through in 2012, except my neurologist is not a moron and they diagnosed me with MS which led to optic neuritis. And I was suffering from a wide variety of other symptoms that all appear to be autoimmune in nature. I was managing symptoms for a while, but now that I'm on a predominantly carnivore diet, all of that has been improving.
How is it going maker? I was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago as well and our symptoms seem very similar I started 2 months ago on carnivore. I halted the symptoms progression and have feeling back in one hand, very encouraging! I still can’t feel my feet but I can see and feel it’s helping. I also pray hard 🙏I’m 💪🏽 just curious to see how others with MS are doing on this diet and the length of time they started seeing positive results. Thanks!
@@danielmcinerney9949 I'm lucky that shortly after my diagnosis, I recovered completely and have been pretty stable since, averaging a minor flare-up on average about every 18 months. I started eating low-carb and experimenting with keto about three years ago, and have been carnivore for the last 2-ish years. But I haven't had a flare-up in a little over 2 years. And my most recent MRI showed that the lesions in my brain have actually shrunk a bit. Which is hopeful that I'm not only controlling the disease, but perhaps, hopefully, I may be to some degree be reversing it. But there's always that lingering fear that more symptoms are just around the corner.
@@MinecraftMaker this gives me hope I’m desperate to hit this invisible enemy thank you… if there’s any further advice for a beginner I’d appreciate greatly! It has been the fight of my life! How is your weight im on the thin side two months in im down an unwanted 9 pounds. Anything I can do to gain weight? I eat about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of various meats a day salt, pepper, AcV. Thanks again
@@danielmcinerney9949 I'm glad you're making progress, and wish you luck. I've been overweight for most of my life, and since going carnivore, I've lost nearly 100 pounds and for the first time since maybe high school, I'm at a normal body weight. I'm mostly focused on losing fat (especially visceral fat). I don't know your situation, of course, but to gain weight, I'd recommend trying to build muscle as that has good knock-on effects. I have some pretty strong opinions on food, which you may take with however many grains of salt as you wish. My diet is pretty restrictive. I stick to grass-fed beef and organs (especially liver). With only animal fats (mostly ghee) - no seed/vegetable oils at all. And I avoid highly processed foods like the plague. The only plants I eat are fermented vegetables - pickles, olives, garlic, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc. I would recommend focusing on your gut health. The evidence of an association between gut microbiome and autoimmune disorders is growing, and I'm convinced it has played a big part in my own health journey, with a history of food allergies and IBD that is all under control over the last couple years. My biggest suggestion on this is to get as big a variety of fermented foods as possible. Apple Cider Vinegar - provided it's the raw stuff with the mother - is great, but in addition to the fermented veggies, I also do yogurt and kefir. (I've started making my own kefir which has been great and it's super easy) Look up Dr. Sean O'Mara. He has a list of strategies for optimizing health that includes the strict carnivore/fermented veggie diet, extended fasting, cold/heat exposure, and maximum intensity exercise. His belief is that visceral fat (which can be invisible externally) is the source of chronic disease. I've been working with him to get rid of my visceral fat and get in the best shape of my life, and I believe that has helped with my MS.
I haven't had sugar in a month. For years before this I would get headaches pretty much every single day. If I went for more than a day without a headache it was very unusual. My sinuses would swell and ache. The back corner of my head where it meets my neck would thump straight through to my eyeball which would burn and feel like someone was putting a needle in it. This was frequent. My vision would get blurry. The headache would move from one side to the other from day to day. When I started eating only meat my inflammation and headaches started going away in a day. I gave it a week and decided to experiment. I ate a small package of snack donuts from a vending machine. Within minutes I had a headache. Clear correlation. Since then it's been a month with no headaches and 100% carnivore. Other inflammation is gone! My energy levels have increased and stay stable all day. The tendonitis I had is gone. The pain in my hands is gone. The horrible bloating that I used to get in my abdomen after eating carbs is gone. This was so bad that the inflammation would actually affect my lung capacity. This is all gone! As a bonus I've lost 20lbs. This May not work for everyone but it's working for me and changing my life for sure.
I love this!! Headaches change the way we function and in my opinion our attitude. So to get rid of them is very relieving. I am so happy for you and glad you found what works.
People need to start refusing meds to solve issues. All the things this lady went through and all the meds they put her on, just is shocking. I think of how many times I have refused medications and I think I am the rare one. And you see what I went through to get to this point. Start saying no. Start insisting they find answers instead of giving you a pill to bandaid it.
Also starting having migraines at age twelve. Stopped drinking “soda”, you know which one I mean, about 8 weeks ago. I won’t lie I’ve had three headaches since but absolutely no aura migraines. Was having almost daily auras, sometimes two to five. Carbs daily under 30, working my way to zero. So thankful and grateful.
In the late 80s, I dated a French nurse visiting her brother (my friend) here in Northern Calif. Her future in the US depended on our relationship, but she flatly told me that she would not work in the American medical system....being a numbers game (business) more than a patient care service.
Amanda has done great, we have always trusted our Heath sevice, ( Heath industry )it’s time to wake up, and it’s people like you Shawn that shows us the way, keto hear to 👍🇬🇧
Wow! Amanda what an incredible story! Thank you for your dedication to teaching others about healthy eating. I wish there was someone in my area available to help me. I have had to do this journey alone (except for You Tube videos). Best of luck to you on your healing journey.
@@DrShawnBakerPodcast too bad it's not free. I understand needing to make money, but that can be achieved through accepting donations rather than a mandatory monthly fee.
Hi Teresa! We are all in this together. I started out with no community, no friends or family that thought this was a good idea. Revero is a great community with lots of support and information. You can do this!! 🤗
Great interview. Amanda is an amazing success story and so personable and has a great outlook. She has also gained a lot of knowledge about disease and lifestyle.
Excellent interview! Thank you both. And yes, Amanda, I am confident YOU will successfully turn the tide of the devastating and preventable type 2 diabetes that is so prevalent in your community. Godspeed!
Starting my fifth week of carnivore. It has helped a great deal with my problems with anxiety and depression. I still have symptoms of acid reflux. Hopefully this will respond eventually. Glad to hear of Amanda's great results. :)
I have been on keto diet for over 2 years now and my horrible cramps and heavy bleeding went from (staying in bed all the time and with heating pad all day long cuz I don’t want to take meds for it)7 days to 3 days and with no cramps at all. And I used to get yeast infection like every month and now everything is gone. I honestly forgot what is like to have all that and when I tell women maybe it’s your diet, they laugh at me like I am crazy. Btw, I love your shirt Dr. And keep up the awesome work you do here ❤ 👍 👏
Oh my god I’m so glad I clicked on this video because this is what I’ve been dealing with since 2019. The issues came on after two years of being vegan. I’ve been to the doctor dozens of times and they have all given me different answers.
I am in my third week of Carnivore, have no known health issues, I didn’t eat meat for over a year after surgery. I want my energy back, and brain fog gone, I will be 65 in April.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce thank you! I am just getting into it and excited by what I’m noticing so far. And cooking is a million times easier and I don’t get bored of eating it so that’s nice. My workouts are really good and I have a lot of energy for them now. I cut my caffeine down to 100 mg per day from the usual 300-400. Yeah, I’m liking it so far!
Hi, I would like to get Coach Amanda B in touch with my daughter Courtney who has been on a similar journey thru the "Doctor Mill". She was finally diagnosed with SIBO, and like Amanda it took "an act of God" to get the correct tests done. And like Amanda Courtney has suffered greatly for many years. Thank you for any help, Stephany
When my cholesterol was on the rise, I went keto. Fast forward to another doctors appt. My labs look amazing! Doctor says keep doing whatever it is you are doing. I said. I'm doing a keto diet. Doctor: that is too dangerous, you have to stop! Me: No. The proof is in my labs. Have a good day. Now when I go back I get to tell him I am a carnivore! I wonder how that will go?!? Any guesses?!? LOL!! KEEP on keeping on girl! I like how the doctor just chalked up your medical issues to the COVID lockdown.
How in the world did they miss that? My daughter had it at 11 (2014) and I diagnosed her through the internet, took her to our ophthalmologist, he verified it and sent us to Children’s Hospital. They put her on diamox until she healed. She had damage to the arachnoid villi from doxycycline used to treat her Lyme exposure. Thankfully, she healed completely, and has not had trouble with it since. How horrendous that you suffered for so long until you got answers!
Absolutely thrilled for her and I think she is doing much more for her community than most doctors do already….🙏The most interesting information for me was on the fasting glucose…because so far everybody talked about the dawn phenomenon I was a little unsure about because my BG stays hight till late afternoon and only drops slowly after 24 hours of no food or after a meal…so this information that the nutrition absorption is longer when eating meat makes absolute sense an correlated with my numbers…thank you Doctor for this quick intro😊 to this mechanism
I love the brown butter bites. If you cut off the brown part you pretty much have your own homemade Ghee. The milk solids are what turn brown. If you get rid of the brown it is just clarified butter leftover
In my third week carnivore I have had weird things come up, my eyes going wonky which scared me. My vision was moving inward and cloudy I was seeing colorful patterns on the floor, it cleared in 3-4 days, the cloudiness and movement is gone. Dr Ken Berry has revealed the American Heart Association has found that cholesterol is not an issue.
I am glad it cleared up. I understand visual issues are scary and difficult to deal with. I will say that I had had some weird visual things prior to the migraine/seizure that caused all the daily symptoms. Have you seen an optometrist? They helped me understand that my issues were from inflammation.
Go for your youtube channel Amanda, you could totally reach people with your story and personality, and now all of Shawn Baker's viewers have seen you.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce oh gosh please just keep going I absolutely loved listening your story. I’m listening again actually. Please come back and let us know if you start a channel. We love visiting Eugene ❤
What an ordeal! Don't dig down to the cause, just throw meds at the symptoms. Yep, typical health care. Had a similar experience with different issues for over 20 years before I finally found a DO who helped me get to the actual cause.
I was in Drs most of my life from age 1-38. Zero help , endless testing and medications. 15 surgeries even. I seriously have zero faith in anything anymore. Endless suffering. Hoping carnivore provides relief.
Great information! I experienced many of your symptoms. Fasting, increasing and decreasing the factors in the weight formula (carbohydrates +protein+fat), did control many of my symptoms. When they diagnosed my Cushing’s Syndrome because of an adrenal tumor they called it sub clinical. I believe that due to my super diet it masked the real cause. My bloodwork is remarkable with normality and classic signs of an out of control adrenal. Basically I’m saying self healing is frowned on by the professionals. Lol
Having witnessed few of my friends having their legs amputated I definitely urge everyone to give up carbs in order to reverse their diabetes. It's such a horrible condition. I don't call it disease but a metabolic imbalance. I reversed mine 3 years ago at the age of 61 when my good friend died of stroke at the age of 67. She was diabetic and also very big.
Go to a surgeon, they will cut you. Go to a medically licensed drug pusher... well, you know. Diet always seems to be a HUGE factor in health issues. Big money in it, too. Congrats on getting yourself healthy. ♥️
Does anyone intermittently fast? I’ve been doing it pretty consistently for about 3 years. Just introduced Keto / Low net carb under 20 per day. Just found this channel and love it so far
i went to the Doc with an out of control A1C (was 12 a year ago and 10 after doing modified keto.) Told him I just started Carnivore and my BP and fasting BS was dropping. He told me I had to go on meds and that dropping carbs would not help my blood sugar (am gobsmacked at this point.) I am pretty sure I am super insulin resistant and need a 0 carb to rectify my issues. YAY Carnivore! I love my bacon and steaks! Then he continued to try to put me on a statin even though Lipitor is on the list of drugs I am allergic to (high liver enzymes after taking and doc told me necrosis if I continued. Never to take again.) I refused both meds with a very unhappy Doc saying I was going to die. And trying to argue over the necrosis I told him about. I said we can do the tests in 3 months and see where we are. I already know I am changing Doctors again. But I want him to see first hand what this is going to do to labs and maybe he can grow from it. I no longer trust doctors. I have won a malpractice suit in Colorado 20 years ago, for a Doc almost killing me by not diagnosing me with hyperparathyroidism, even though I had coma high blood calcium levels. Then the Surgeon cut my jugular during the removal of two parathyroids with tumors. Benign! I almost died from blood loss. 3 times he brought me out of anesthesia only to have my throat fill with blood and back down again to look more. He did finally find it. But I was weak and sick for years. I understand why now. At this point I was disabled and have not worked since. Here I was a single mom with 3 kids. WOW! Now I am looking at a bright future. Everything is getting better. Give me a year and who knows, I might even be working again. Life is wonderful. Full of wonder. Trust your own instincts. Docs are there to make money. If it is an emergency, I would trust a Doc. If it is chronic health care, nope! Stop taking pills to fix your issues. Try diet, behavior modification, and exercise. Sunshine and sweating out the toxins. Good read meat to fuel your body! Lots of good fats and watch your health change for the better! Your brain loves fat and sunshine!
A wonderful book that will help people understand that our soil must have the manure from animals to be healthy. Research about the guy who killed thousands of elephants towards what he thought would help. Also the book, the Vegetarian Myth is worth reading.
Feeling so much better after keto and carnivore that like I said, I’m able to go about 30 minutes 6 miles on the stationary hand bike at the gym. Love to get a real one and eventually do a full 26 mile race but of course they’re $5000 because anything for someone with a disability has to be really expensive for no apparent reason.
That is a huge accomplishment!! I just finished my first 30 minute hiit workout with no symptoms at the beginning of February. I was no able to walk to my bathroom a year ago. I was a triathlete for 6 years so not being able to exercise was really hard for me mentally. I am so excited or you and your future. Keep going!!
I will say this: I know other people with similar symptoms. They take a bagful of medications for each separate symptoms. They look at me like I have three heads if I tell them to try dietary changes. What can doctors can do? I know doctors who gave up, because patients recoil in anger when they mention diet, or even REPORT the doctor.
I was on 11 different medication. One of them I took 7 pills. I no longer take any prescription medication. And it all had to do with diet. Take care of you and maybe they will follow.
I was on 11 medications and one of them I took 7 pills a day. I am no longer in any prescription meds. Take care of you and maybe they will follow!! I have many family members who refuse to believe it’s my diet.
Beef, pork,chicken,butter,bacon and eggs. I hope the first optician was correct and it was there and has indeed gone. It’s reliant upon the first diagnosis. However, my rosacea has gone, skin has improved and my missing eyebrows are regrowing with a vengeance.
I get the ocular migraines. Before I became carnivore, I decided to do a no carb diet in 2018 (in other words, starve myself). After doing that for six months, treated myself to a piece of oreo cookie cake and had an instant ocular migraine. Still did not make the connection to sugar. In hindsight I see it of course.
Hi @gingergal ! I also suffer occular migraines since grade five after a head injury in gym class . It’s the exact same thing for me , I’ve got to stay mostly lion , super low low carb . If I dare eat ANY sugar at all , it triggers the Occular misery & I have to take rizatriptan. I’ve had 8 of them in 2022 . The most I’ve ever had is 1-2. A year & even skipping a year . I think I was oxalate dumping from my eye 6 mos into carnivore after I got a pimple in my lower water line & buring , irritation. Went to eye Dr & the eye pressure test they did triggered an in office occular migraine & several rebounds . Then the steroid drops triggered more of them . 🫢😭
I get ocular migraines too. Or I should say did. I haven’t had one in months now. I wish I would have put it together because this happened on my birthday. We had eaten out and had dessert. The next day I was unable to function. It is wild. I always wondered if because I was keto for 9 months and then ate tiramisu for my birthday dessert if my body just went into sugar overload. I don’t know. It’s not like I had never eaten tiramisu before. 🤷♀️
The first macular migraine I had was after having drank a soda at the swap meet. So how do I been caused by a spike in blood sugar that my body couldn’t handle. Later on however, I’ve determined that it’s low sodium for me. I also have occasional bouts with vertigo, which seem to be seasonal allergy related however, I have begun to suspect that this is a form of migraine as well.
What a story! Loved her assertion, "I don't give a damn about my cholesterol right now. I want to get up and dress and be functional..." Preach it!
Our cholesterol is perfect every day regardless of the number. God made it adjustable on purpose.

Our cholesterol is beautiful no matter what they say, every single day.
I saw a new NP yesterday. She was not happy about my meat based diet and said it wasn't safe. She actually told me she "guessed" I probably have at least stage 1 kidney disease if not stage 2. She told me it's not possible to reverse diabetes. She called me herself today to tell me my A1c is 6.9. It was 11.2 this time last year. I told her the next one will be 5.0. Watch me!
Hubby has the same happen, I was asked to leave the diabetic nurses office after questioning her sense in telling a diabetic to have wholemeal toast for breakfast when he has never eaten breakfast in his life.
After 3 months on low carb(he won't join me on the dark side 😁)(yet) I had his bloods back to between 5-6, the nurse couldn't understand it, wish I could of been there to tell her to F off.
You go girl! That’s awesome:).
So I had my lab work follow up today, and all my blood tests are normal. There's no indication of fatty liver or kidney disease. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, but I know I can cure that with my diet, too! She literally gave me a gold star and said she'll see me in 6 months 💪
Idk why u would ever go back
I would say buh bye
@@loriwesney9373 why in the world would you go back in 6 months...don't go back ever!
I gladly trade the “boredom” of carnivore for the nightmare of doctor’s offices, lab work, pharmacies, and yes dentist offices. I have saved a fortune on this diet.
I have to tell you , I was on a statin for 3 months and my feet hurt so badly I could barely walk. I am a nurse and used to walking over 15000 steps a day. My joints also hurt. I did some research and stopped the statin and everything went back to normal. At first I just thought it was age. I also started keto. I am ketovore. Very few carbs. I am stronger than ever. I am 67 working out and going strong. Love your channel.
It's so good to see another person who basically found the thing that actually cured themselves when the all the doctors just wanted to throw medications at the symptoms. Amanda seems so happy now and it's great to see.
We've been going to a naturopath focusing on actual healthcare and things that would be preventative over sickcare. Food is the most important medicine for people. Hospitals are so backwards and there's so much money flowing through there it would be like steering the Titanic with a paddle. We won't see change until people start opening their eyes....and that's true for so much more than just the medical industry.
Recently an elderly friend died she was always on a diet weight watchers food?? Then she got sick with and went to hospital they feed her health food not carnivore her insurance ran out they felt she was healthy enough to go to senior recovery hospital she ate healthy no carnivore she went to hospital again finally died from healthy hospital diet
Very well stated, bonus points for you!
I can relate....after my stroke in was in therapy. The food during that stay was so nasty! You know when your shit is almost unbearable to even you somethings not right. I started to feel healthier after I got home it took a bit to back to normal. It felt like I got way to much food. Funny, I hear about the fasting and one meal a day I chuckle cuz I've been eating like this for 40 years. I never knew anything about fasting....but instinctively ate 1 meal a day except while pregnant.
I have a question for you guys how is it now trying to eat just meat with the economy being how it is? And also do you have any reservations with not having any knowledge about the country of origin for the meat and the following of sanitation procedures?
@@agape4umoe Good for you, fasting is great!
I’d like to go further and say the term “ healthcare industry“, shouldn’t even exist. Medical practice. Health care. There is no practicing of medicine in the so-called healthcare industry. There is simply the practice of creating unending income streams from people who have been sickened by having worthless solutions thrown at them. If I break a bone, I’m going straight to the ER, but if I’m having some sort of complaint with my body I go to my acupuncturist. I no longer trust the medical profession to know what’s the best for me.
What a terrific story. A simple dietary change returned her to her smart, funny, vital, healthy self.
I try to suggest tiny dietary changes with fam/friends. I began with organic in 07. (After many invasive g.i. tests and meds, and specialists who never broached what i was eating. Then went gf. Then hardcore keto. Then, Carnivore. All wonderful improvements in my health. (Amazing. Just change food. 😚)
WELL. I thought I was ALONE!!!!!
I had pretty bad diabetes and this was fixed by "ketovore" diet. I had so many problems that I never even noticed that I used to have dry heaving and nausea EVERY morning. One day, though, I couldn't even eat anything... Tests were all inconclusive. I even ended up having endoscopies and even an exploratory surgery!!! Because they thought I had swallowed a metallic bristle from a grill brush 🤷♂. I also had macular edema around that time!!! Eventually, I was diagnosed with SIBO with a breath test. No matter what I did, it wouldn't go away: antibiotics, probiotics, tons of fiber supplements. Other complications (renal failure, retinopathy and the macular edema, a non-healing ulcer on my foot) and ever-increasing doses of insulin made me switch to keto / ketovore. All this stuff went away. Today, ~3 years later: normal kidney function, normal blood sugars, A1c 4.9-5.1, retinopathy reversed, no SIBO, no heartburn, no gastroparesis, no weakness, no dizziness, no headaches (migraines all my life before)!
A-freakin-MAZING.
This might sound sillyu, but I was so happy when - a few weeks ago - I dropped a blender blade on my foot and got a nasty cut on a toe. Why? First because it hurt! Pain is so awesome, we take it for granted or berate it. But the feeling of having no feeling is so much scarier! And then, because it actually healed normally in ~10 days. Big deal. Before: this would have been a months long, life threatening situation for me.
I am so happy for you! I wish non of us had to suffer for so long. I am so happy that carnivore is helping you and you feel better.
Which form of SIBO was it?
I'm so happy for Amanda!! She has her life back!!❤🥚🥩🥓 Thank you Dr. Baker for getting us this great information!!
I am so sorry that you and I and so many others have to go through this getting healthy despite the opposite advice or complete lack of knowledge of the entire medical industry, doctors of all kinds. I’m glad this young woman is getting better
This woman needs a you tube channel and perhaps a talk show. She was so entertaining and brimming with intelligence.
GREAT guest!! I'm so happy for Amanda that she took charge of her own well being and was successful. Keep sharing the truth and motivating others to take charge of their health.
I’ve never had a doctor suggest a dietary change, just medications. Carnivore for 2 months and have no joint pain and have never felt better….. clear headed and energetic
I love that Amanda talked non stop and excitedly for the first 17 minutes! She is clearly so well and thriving on carnivore and brilliant to hear her spreading the word her patients too. Definitely start that UA-cam channel!
Wow! Great show. Amanda and I have a lot in common. I’m new. 1 month carnivore, just finished 2 month BBBE with Dr. Ken Berry and Beef & Butter Girl. From Dec. 25,2022 - Feb. 27, 2023, I lost 10 lbs., totally ecstatic. Migraines gone, headaches gone; I did get Pink Eye. It healed really fast. Currently I have shingles. Yeah! I’m thinking it’s all got to come out. I’ve been really un-well for 1/2 century. I’m 58 in 25 days. My downs were 2015-2017, spend most my life on couch. Right now I’m healing fast. Faster then everything I read, watched, & been shared info. When I started I said I’d do it from January1-31; then I jumped into February BBBE. I complete it tomorrow. Brain fog is gone. Mean temper gone. Pain free until last Monday when Shingles came to be. I made my own tincture topical and internals I use mine and Dr. Berg’s vitamin suggestions. I’m doing very well. I do Omad & 2mad. I personally don’t care for the butter bites. I made them. I’ve decided to just keep it simple. I’m really loving this concoction called carnivore coffee. Scoop of salt to taste or whichever I’m in the mood for with 2 egg yokes and 4 tbsp. Butter hot water 12 ounces. Let it sit 30 seconds whip/stir then add more hot water and cool water. It’s yummy! I stopped coffee, HWC, & stevia. I’m on correct vitamins. I’m MTHFR. My sleep has gotten better. I’ve been a walking zombie for years. Now 7-8 hours of sleep each night. I’m working on my IR and other issues. I bought the keto mojo. There’s nothing like taking charge of my health. I’ve fought the system since youth. To dust we return. This was a topic I’m so happy to have watched.
So so proud of you !! Thank you for sharing ❤
Celebrating with you.
This is such a great success. Way to go!! I am so glad you are doing much better and on what sounds to be a fast track to total wellness.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce it’s all baby steps of course. Listening to your story I could simply change our names and add 13 different experiences that brought me close to death. Keep up and keep on announcing your truth. I’ll forward people that it may support. Just need to know where on UA-cam or facebook to send them.
@@karenhunt-cook2192 you are amazing! Thank you. I will reply with the name of my channel as soon as I post my first video. It is being edited. Or should I say I am learning to edit videos😀
Ive just finished a 28 day water only fast 3 days ago. It has changed my relationship with food and my body feels 'clean' and flushed. I have a clarity that I have never had before. I have done bone broth, sauerkraut, carnivore and a little fruit. Today I ate carbs for the 1st time and I feel terrible. Cant wait to wake up tomorrow and work out until its all out of me. Trolls please stay out of this, I am just sharing that refined carbs are ruining our health and productivity.
How in gods name can you not eat for 28 days! Wow I'm gonna try 1 day
@@JohnQPublic345 it seems to work if you have a lot of fat stores. Not recommended for lean people.
Like how you said it changed your relationship to food. We have food addiction, everyone eats for pleasure not for health.
Good on you.
@richard green wow !! Did you have medical supervision for your fast ? The most I’ve done is 48 hours water only .
I need to do another . So happy for you that you did that long of a fast for healing ❤❤❤
I agree , ANY carbs no matter the source arthritis acts up .
@A.R I don’t go more than 42 hrs dry fasting
That’s enough for me!
But it KILLS Hunger
No hunger at all
Obliterated
If only I could dry fast a week!
I would never do that tho
I love her excitement already. 💓
Agreed💯
Me too ❤ such a huge inspiration & would love to see a channel ❤❤
Amanda, you are made for media! Looking forward to more from you 😊
Me too ! I’m definitely subscribing ❤
Yes Amanda you're fantastic. I'd subsribe.
Thank you so much!! That is amazing to hear. I was so nervous and felt like I was rambling. Thank you very much. I am working on it!!
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce You have very happy bubbly energy and it is a joy to listen to you! 😄😃😃😃 💗💕💗💕 Your story is extremely motivating and inspiring!
Even, be just interviewed everywhere about your experience, because that does spread the word much faster and you gain experience about the questions and what people want to hear. It is easier for you, rather than starting youtube channel (true job! And it sounds that you have already few!).

Thank you
Her story will help many people
100 %
Thank you. I hope so!!
Good solid video. I am inspired to add carnivore eating to my toolbox. Thank you.
50:40 first time I’ve actually watched the WHOLE interview! Really enjoyed watching and listening (and laughing 😂).
Thank you for watching. I was so nervous so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I don't burn the protien in butter when I brown it, just cook until it gets a light to medium brown. Frozen, I call them my "Heath bars" and I do love them. That's my favorite form of fat.
What an inspirational story; I'm so happy for Amanda.
Dr. Baker, I have watched a number of these very informative life stories of people’s health journeys. The common thread that runs through all of these stories is that people did not regain their health until they were exposed to the benefits of a carnivore diet. And this, without exception, was the result of happenstance and luck. Would you please begin to ask these people what suggestions they might have that would leverage your message and reach to the world. Thanks!
It’s the mental clarity I think the way of eating gives . ❤ many ppl uncover crazy Dxs after going this route & healing . It’s amazing 😻
It's up to us to leverage Shawn's message. Start sharing his channel, talking about it with friends in a subtle way, recommending books etc.
What a lovely & vibrant human being! I'm a fellow migrainer, on her level. Can confirm, going carnivore *works*!
Since being on carnivore since this past Sept- I have had no cycle symptoms except the actual cycle. But I eat mainly beef, have redmand’s sea salt, and water. One month I tried butter- about a table spoon a day, the vital farms pasture butter, and that month I had terrible cramps suddenly, and breast cysts. After that I didn’t use butter and no issues. So the dairy is too inflammatory for cycles. But since on carnivore my peri menopause reversed too! Cycles back to normal with pacing. And no symptoms except the cycle. Love Carnivore diet!
Switch to Ghee. It may help
@@Lainer1 I was thinking of that. I read there is an ingredient in dairy not found in ghee that causes inflammation in people. It’s called “Casein.” Will experiment with ghee. I found some that is from pasture raised cows, so perfect. ☺️👌🏻
Fantastic!! My cycle is good now too. Thanks for sharing. I agree that Ghee may be better or I love tallow too.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce i like tallow also. That one doesn’t bother me at all. ☺️👌🏻
@TRUST that’s what I found out.
I was sitting in waiting are for GP. I took my girlfriend a telling look so many depressed people at age around 35+ till 70 maybe more. Im saying to her I hope I won’t here agaun sitting with these people We have change the lifestyle. We left standard health diet and we are 90% carnivore and turning slowly to 100 %. Never felt better.
Fantastic!!
That was a great testimony!! It brings me so much joy whenever I see someone turn their lives from pain and suffering to health and happiness!!!
I’m struggling with very similar issues here with tinnitus on top of it . This gives me hope . I am so happy that you’ve come this far , healing & back to work !!! It’s a dream of mine to get back to work . I will get there !
You will get there.!! I am so sorry you are having those symptoms. It makes life so difficult and not fun. I just wanted to say that patience and grace are super important. I wanted to be better and back to work right away but my body took a year to heal on carnivore not including the year I tried western medicine. You’ve got this!!
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce I’ve got the exact same issues as you did. Except I don’t have papilledema . Which isn’t the case for all IH patients. I’ve got an MRI & MRA scheduled for next month but i can’t wait that long . My head pressure is just debilitating right now . After seeing your interview I’m going to make sure I push for a spinal tap before any sort of meds .
I’m so thankful you’re thriving now ❤ I am also eating carnivore 😊
Hi Amanda. Loved your interview. I have IH and I’m beside myself. I have the feeling like my entire head wants to explode 24/7 😪 Burning pressure and crushing feeling and stinging and eye soreness. I’m on diamox but no changes so I worry there’s pathogens or nerve inflammation or something worse. But diagnosed with IH in April. Starting to take iron and dipping my toe into carnivore. Hope there’s hope!
This sounds eerily similar to what I went through in 2012, except my neurologist is not a moron and they diagnosed me with MS which led to optic neuritis. And I was suffering from a wide variety of other symptoms that all appear to be autoimmune in nature. I was managing symptoms for a while, but now that I'm on a predominantly carnivore diet, all of that has been improving.
Yeah my neurologist didn’t want to treat me. I was just a number. I hope carnivore continues to reduce your symptoms
How is it going maker? I was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago as well and our symptoms seem very similar I started 2 months ago on carnivore. I halted the symptoms progression and have feeling back in one hand, very encouraging! I still can’t feel my feet but I can see and feel it’s helping. I also pray hard 🙏I’m 💪🏽 just curious to see how others with MS are doing on this diet and the length of time they started seeing positive results. Thanks!
@@danielmcinerney9949 I'm lucky that shortly after my diagnosis, I recovered completely and have been pretty stable since, averaging a minor flare-up on average about every 18 months.
I started eating low-carb and experimenting with keto about three years ago, and have been carnivore for the last 2-ish years. But I haven't had a flare-up in a little over 2 years. And my most recent MRI showed that the lesions in my brain have actually shrunk a bit. Which is hopeful that I'm not only controlling the disease, but perhaps, hopefully, I may be to some degree be reversing it. But there's always that lingering fear that more symptoms are just around the corner.
@@MinecraftMaker this gives me hope I’m desperate to hit this invisible enemy thank you… if there’s any further advice for a beginner I’d appreciate greatly! It has been the fight of my life! How is your weight im on the thin side two months in im down an unwanted 9 pounds. Anything I can do to gain weight? I eat about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of various meats a day salt, pepper, AcV. Thanks again
@@danielmcinerney9949 I'm glad you're making progress, and wish you luck.
I've been overweight for most of my life, and since going carnivore, I've lost nearly 100 pounds and for the first time since maybe high school, I'm at a normal body weight. I'm mostly focused on losing fat (especially visceral fat). I don't know your situation, of course, but to gain weight, I'd recommend trying to build muscle as that has good knock-on effects.
I have some pretty strong opinions on food, which you may take with however many grains of salt as you wish.
My diet is pretty restrictive. I stick to grass-fed beef and organs (especially liver). With only animal fats (mostly ghee) - no seed/vegetable oils at all. And I avoid highly processed foods like the plague. The only plants I eat are fermented vegetables - pickles, olives, garlic, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc.
I would recommend focusing on your gut health. The evidence of an association between gut microbiome and autoimmune disorders is growing, and I'm convinced it has played a big part in my own health journey, with a history of food allergies and IBD that is all under control over the last couple years. My biggest suggestion on this is to get as big a variety of fermented foods as possible. Apple Cider Vinegar - provided it's the raw stuff with the mother - is great, but in addition to the fermented veggies, I also do yogurt and kefir. (I've started making my own kefir which has been great and it's super easy)
Look up Dr. Sean O'Mara. He has a list of strategies for optimizing health that includes the strict carnivore/fermented veggie diet, extended fasting, cold/heat exposure, and maximum intensity exercise. His belief is that visceral fat (which can be invisible externally) is the source of chronic disease. I've been working with him to get rid of my visceral fat and get in the best shape of my life, and I believe that has helped with my MS.
None of my doctors told me to change my diet to heal myself. 🥩💪🏻💯
I haven't had sugar in a month. For years before this I would get headaches pretty much every single day. If I went for more than a day without a headache it was very unusual. My sinuses would swell and ache. The back corner of my head where it meets my neck would thump straight through to my eyeball which would burn and feel like someone was putting a needle in it. This was frequent. My vision would get blurry. The headache would move from one side to the other from day to day.
When I started eating only meat my inflammation and headaches started going away in a day. I gave it a week and decided to experiment. I ate a small package of snack donuts from a vending machine. Within minutes I had a headache. Clear correlation. Since then it's been a month with no headaches and 100% carnivore. Other inflammation is gone! My energy levels have increased and stay stable all day. The tendonitis I had is gone. The pain in my hands is gone. The horrible bloating that I used to get in my abdomen after eating carbs is gone. This was so bad that the inflammation would actually affect my lung capacity. This is all gone! As a bonus I've lost 20lbs. This May not work for everyone but it's working for me and changing my life for sure.
Amazing !!! Thank you for sharing ❤
I love this!! Headaches change the way we function and in my opinion our attitude. So to get rid of them is very relieving. I am so happy for you and glad you found what works.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce Thank you. It definitely makes a huge difference to my qualify of life.
So happy for her!!! She went through a lot. Makes you wonder why non-carnivore foods cause inflammation!! GMO? Pesticides?
People need to start refusing meds to solve issues. All the things this lady went through and all the meds they put her on, just is shocking. I think of how many times I have refused medications and I think I am the rare one. And you see what I went through to get to this point. Start saying no. Start insisting they find answers instead of giving you a pill to bandaid it.
It is so true. I wanted answers and felt like I was being persistent but it didn’t matter. They just kept giving me pills. I know better now for sure.
You can insist all you want...they won't change. They know nothing but writing prescriptions.
Not only meds but tests. I have refused anymore cholesterol / tryglicerides tests.
You have given me hope about my eye issues
Also starting having migraines at age twelve. Stopped drinking “soda”, you know which one I mean, about 8 weeks ago. I won’t lie I’ve had three headaches since but absolutely no aura migraines. Was having almost daily auras, sometimes two to five. Carbs daily under 30, working my way to zero.
So thankful and grateful.
Very enlightening and entertaining interview. Great info!
Howdy from the Willamette Valley in Oregon, just north of Amanda! I'm so glad to hear of Amanda's recovery !! Praise God she persevered!
In the late 80s, I dated a French nurse visiting her brother (my friend) here in Northern Calif. Her future in the US depended on our relationship, but she flatly told me that she would not work in the American medical system....being a numbers game (business) more than a patient care service.
Amanda has done great, we have always trusted our Heath sevice, ( Heath industry )it’s time to wake up, and it’s people like you Shawn that shows us the way, keto hear to 👍🇬🇧
Wow! Amanda what an incredible story! Thank you for your dedication to teaching others about healthy eating. I wish there was someone in my area available to help me. I have had to do this journey alone (except for You Tube videos). Best of luck to you on your healing journey.
Hi Teresa! You don't need to be alone - we have an online community at carnivore.diet/join, which is where Amanda is.
Thanks,

@@DrShawnBakerPodcast too bad it's not free. I understand needing to make money, but that can be achieved through accepting donations rather than a mandatory monthly fee.
Hi Teresa! We are all in this together. I started out with no community, no friends or family that thought this was a good idea. Revero is a great community with lots of support and information. You can do this!! 🤗
Great interview. Amanda is an amazing success story and so personable and has a great outlook. She has also gained a lot of knowledge about disease and lifestyle.
Love your interviews Dr Baker, keep them coming, so motivating and encouraging ❤️🇦🇺
Love Amanda! Love your energy, passion and incredible success story. Beautiful human. 🙏💜
Girl, TESTIFY! What a joy to watch.
Excellent interview! Thank you both. And yes, Amanda, I am confident YOU will successfully turn the tide of the devastating and preventable type 2 diabetes that is so prevalent in your community. Godspeed!
Starting my fifth week of carnivore. It has helped a great deal with my problems with anxiety and depression. I still have symptoms of acid reflux. Hopefully this will respond eventually. Glad to hear of Amanda's great results. :)
Apple cider vinegar and cabbage!? Yogurt?
A spoon of Coconut oil after meals for reflux was advised by my functional doc
I went through a course of SIBO specific antibiotics and it cured my acid reflux.
Outstanding info. Thanks so much.
I have been on keto diet for over 2 years now and my horrible cramps and heavy bleeding went from (staying in bed all the time and with heating pad all day long cuz I don’t want to take meds for it)7 days to 3 days and with no cramps at all. And I used to get yeast infection like every month and now everything is gone. I honestly forgot what is like to have all that and when I tell women maybe it’s your diet, they laugh at me like I am crazy. Btw, I love your shirt Dr. And keep up the awesome work you do here ❤ 👍 👏
Best interview yet, Dr. Baker!

Oh my god I’m so glad I clicked on this video because this is what I’ve been dealing with since 2019. The issues came on after two years of being vegan. I’ve been to the doctor dozens of times and they have all given me different answers.
I am in my third week of Carnivore, have no known health issues, I didn’t eat meat for over a year after surgery. I want my energy back, and brain fog gone, I will be 65 in April.
@@karenreaves3650 I wish I could get my parents to try it but unfortunately they’re convinced meat is unhealthy
Hi. Are you carnivore? my doctors didn’t believe I could help myself and carnivore did it for me. I hope you find relief 🤗
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce thank you! I am just getting into it and excited by what I’m noticing so far. And cooking is a million times easier and I don’t get bored of eating it so that’s nice. My workouts are really good and I have a lot of energy for them now. I cut my caffeine down to 100 mg per day from the usual 300-400. Yeah, I’m liking it so far!
Hi, I would like to get Coach Amanda B in touch with my daughter Courtney who has been on a similar journey thru the "Doctor Mill".
She was finally diagnosed with SIBO, and like Amanda it took "an act of God" to get the correct tests done. And like Amanda Courtney has suffered greatly for many years.
Thank you for any help,
Stephany
Fantastic interview, incredible story and I thoroughly enjoyed her personality. Thank you.
When my cholesterol was on the rise, I went keto. Fast forward to another doctors appt. My labs look amazing! Doctor says keep doing whatever it is you are doing. I said. I'm doing a keto diet. Doctor: that is too dangerous, you have to stop! Me: No. The proof is in my labs. Have a good day. Now when I go back I get to tell him I am a carnivore! I wonder how that will go?!? Any guesses?!? LOL!! KEEP on keeping on girl!
I like how the doctor just chalked up your medical issues to the COVID lockdown.
This looks like Pristine Beach Resort in Honduras. So beautiful, I was there a year ago! This was a great testimonial!
"How bad do you have to feel before you give up foods that taste so good"? Fortunately for me, pork belly and ribeye steak taste so heavenly!
Bravo 👏 this was an excellent interview. I'm watching it again.
Thank you so much!!
Amanda, you are awesome and so well spoken about your story. Ditto for me.
Thank you very much!
How in the world did they miss that? My daughter had it at 11 (2014) and I diagnosed her through the internet, took her to our ophthalmologist, he verified it and sent us to Children’s Hospital. They put her on diamox until she healed. She had damage to the arachnoid villi from doxycycline used to treat her Lyme exposure. Thankfully, she healed completely, and has not had trouble with it since. How horrendous that you suffered for so long until you got answers!
Oh my goodness. I wish. I am so glad your daughter got the help she needed and is doing great!!
beautiful job Amanda ❣️
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much
What a fantastic young lady! God bless her!
Absolutely thrilled for her and I think she is doing much more for her community than most doctors do already….🙏The most interesting information for me was on the fasting glucose…because so far everybody talked about the dawn phenomenon I was a little unsure about because my BG stays hight till late afternoon and only drops slowly after 24 hours of no food or after a meal…so this information that the nutrition absorption is longer when eating meat makes absolute sense an correlated with my numbers…thank you Doctor for this quick intro😊 to this mechanism
Love your mission to get the word out about diabetes! Please stay on it. Thank you!
Excellent, excellent interview... She was very well spoken with every detail intact
Wow! Amazing story, Amanda!
I actually live in Eugene, and was curious as to where "just outside of Eugene" was. :)
Hi! Are you carnivore? Just north of Elmira!!
I love the brown butter bites. If you cut off the brown part you pretty much have your own homemade Ghee. The milk solids are what turn brown. If you get rid of the brown it is just clarified butter leftover
Thank you
If she didn't have insurance she would have gotten better alot faster.
That is probably true. I would have sought out other ways (carnivore) instead of spending a year chasing treatment. 🤦♀️
In my third week carnivore I have had weird things come up, my eyes going wonky which scared me. My vision was moving inward and cloudy I was seeing colorful patterns on the floor, it cleared in 3-4 days, the cloudiness and movement is gone. Dr Ken Berry has revealed the American Heart Association has found that cholesterol is not an issue.
I am glad it cleared up. I understand visual issues are scary and difficult to deal with. I will say that I had had some weird visual things prior to the migraine/seizure that caused all the daily symptoms. Have you seen an optometrist? They helped me understand that my issues were from inflammation.
@@amandacarnivorelifeforce Hi Amanda, I see it as a healing process, my eyes do seem better. I will be getting bloodwork done in April, I will be 65.
Oh gosh... I was about ready to give up carnivore because I was seeing weird zigzaggy "aura" in my eyesight.

What an ordeal! Don't dig down to the cause, just throw meds at the symptoms. Yep, typical health care. Had a similar experience with different issues for over 20 years before I finally found a DO who helped me get to the actual cause.
Such a good guest.
Thank you for watching!
Amanda I love your energy and healing journey 💗
Thank you very much!
She's great
Thank you. That is so nice of you
I was in Drs most of my life from age 1-38. Zero help , endless testing and medications. 15 surgeries even. I seriously have zero faith in anything anymore. Endless suffering. Hoping carnivore provides relief.
She’s precious!! Thank you for sharing your story.
Wow...I am so happy for her
Hey Dr Baker. Very interested in becoming a Carnivore coach. Been on carnivore and completely transformed my health and body image.
Go for it !!!
Great information! I experienced many of your symptoms. Fasting, increasing and decreasing the factors in the weight formula (carbohydrates +protein+fat), did control many of my symptoms. When they diagnosed my Cushing’s Syndrome because of an adrenal tumor they called it sub clinical. I believe that due to my super diet it masked the real cause. My bloodwork is remarkable with normality and classic signs of an out of control adrenal.
Basically I’m saying self healing is frowned on by the professionals. Lol
Having witnessed few of my friends having their legs amputated I definitely urge everyone to give up carbs in order to reverse their diabetes. It's such a horrible condition. I don't call it disease but a metabolic imbalance. I reversed mine 3 years ago at the age of 61 when my good friend died of stroke at the age of 67. She was diabetic and also very big.
I think we should all stand outside doctors offices and educate people coming out on the carnivore / keto way of getting better.
Once you decide what you want you life to be like, it is easy!
Go to a surgeon, they will cut you. Go to a medically licensed drug pusher... well, you know. Diet always seems to be a HUGE factor in health issues. Big money in it, too. Congrats on getting yourself healthy. ♥️
In my family, we say, "Be careful WHO you ask!!!".
Does anyone intermittently fast? I’ve been doing it pretty consistently for about 3 years. Just introduced Keto / Low net carb under 20 per day. Just found this channel and love it so far
No doctor cares about our health, that's entirely up to us only.
Great interview!
Guess I gotta go full monty. No cheating anymore.
I like being regular in the BM events.
That’s the one thing I do not like about extended fasting or alternate day fasting.
i went to the Doc with an out of control A1C (was 12 a year ago and 10 after doing modified keto.) Told him I just started Carnivore and my BP and fasting BS was dropping. He told me I had to go on meds and that dropping carbs would not help my blood sugar (am gobsmacked at this point.) I am pretty sure I am super insulin resistant and need a 0 carb to rectify my issues. YAY Carnivore! I love my bacon and steaks!
Then he continued to try to put me on a statin even though Lipitor is on the list of drugs I am allergic to (high liver enzymes after taking and doc told me necrosis if I continued. Never to take again.) I refused both meds with a very unhappy Doc saying I was going to die. And trying to argue over the necrosis I told him about. I said we can do the tests in 3 months and see where we are. I already know I am changing Doctors again. But I want him to see first hand what this is going to do to labs and maybe he can grow from it.
I no longer trust doctors. I have won a malpractice suit in Colorado 20 years ago, for a Doc almost killing me by not diagnosing me with hyperparathyroidism, even though I had coma high blood calcium levels. Then the Surgeon cut my jugular during the removal of two parathyroids with tumors. Benign! I almost died from blood loss. 3 times he brought me out of anesthesia only to have my throat fill with blood and back down again to look more. He did finally find it. But I was weak and sick for years. I understand why now. At this point I was disabled and have not worked since. Here I was a single mom with 3 kids. WOW!
Now I am looking at a bright future. Everything is getting better. Give me a year and who knows, I might even be working again. Life is wonderful. Full of wonder. Trust your own instincts. Docs are there to make money. If it is an emergency, I would trust a Doc. If it is chronic health care, nope! Stop taking pills to fix your issues. Try diet, behavior modification, and exercise. Sunshine and sweating out the toxins. Good read meat to fuel your body! Lots of good fats and watch your health change for the better! Your brain loves fat and sunshine!
Yes, yes, yes!!!!! I totally agree with all of that. I love my fat and meat!!
What a story!
A wonderful book that will help people understand that our soil must have the manure from animals to be healthy. Research about the guy who killed thousands of elephants towards what he thought would help. Also the book, the Vegetarian Myth is worth reading.
Feeling so much better after keto and carnivore that like I said, I’m able to go about 30 minutes 6 miles on the stationary hand bike at the gym. Love to get a real one and eventually do a full 26 mile race but of course they’re $5000 because anything for someone with a disability has to be really expensive for no apparent reason.
So so true !!! I understand. I’m on year three of major disability .
That is a huge accomplishment!! I just finished my first 30 minute hiit workout with no symptoms at the beginning of February. I was no able to walk to my bathroom a year ago. I was a triathlete for 6 years so not being able to exercise was really hard for me mentally. I am so excited or you and your future. Keep going!!
I hope we hear from her in about 6 months to see how much more improvement she has😁
Dr. Mindy Pelz covers when & how to fast and/or exercise and/or eat based on female hormone for pre-menopause, during and even post menopausal. ❤
I will say this: I know other people with similar symptoms. They take a bagful of medications for each separate symptoms. They look at me like I have three heads if I tell them to try dietary changes. What can doctors can do? I know doctors who gave up, because patients recoil in anger when they mention diet, or even REPORT the doctor.
I was on 11 different medication. One of them I took 7 pills. I no longer take any prescription medication. And it all had to do with diet. Take care of you and maybe they will follow.
I was on 11 medications and one of them I took 7 pills a day. I am no longer in any prescription meds. Take care of you and maybe they will follow!! I have many family members who refuse to believe it’s my diet.
What an inspiring video!
Strange with the eyesight. I had a cataract starting 2 years ago, went carnivore and it’s cleared. Coincidence?
That's amazing! Do you eat only beef or other animal products?
Beef, pork,chicken,butter,bacon and eggs. I hope the first optician was correct and it was there and has indeed gone. It’s reliant upon the first diagnosis. However, my rosacea has gone, skin has improved and my missing eyebrows are regrowing with a vengeance.
I get the ocular migraines. Before I became carnivore, I decided to do a no carb diet in 2018 (in other words, starve myself). After doing that for six months, treated myself to a piece of oreo cookie cake and had an instant ocular migraine. Still did not make the connection to sugar. In hindsight I see it of course.
Hi @gingergal !
I also suffer occular migraines since grade five after a head injury in gym class . It’s the exact same thing for me , I’ve got to stay mostly lion , super low low carb . If I dare eat ANY sugar at all , it triggers the Occular misery & I have to take rizatriptan.
I’ve had 8 of them in 2022 . The most I’ve ever had is 1-2. A year & even skipping a year . I think I was oxalate dumping from my eye 6 mos into carnivore after I got a pimple in my lower water line & buring , irritation.
Went to eye Dr & the eye pressure test they did triggered an in office occular migraine & several rebounds . Then the steroid drops triggered more of them .
🫢😭
I get ocular migraines too. Or I should say did. I haven’t had one in months now. I wish I would have put it together because this happened on my birthday. We had eaten out and had dessert. The next day I was unable to function. It is wild. I always wondered if because I was keto for 9 months and then ate tiramisu for my birthday dessert if my body just went into sugar overload. I don’t know. It’s not like I had never eaten tiramisu before. 🤷♀️
The first macular migraine I had was after having drank a soda at the swap meet. So how do I been caused by a spike in blood sugar that my body couldn’t handle. Later on however, I’ve determined that it’s low sodium for me. I also have occasional bouts with vertigo, which seem to be seasonal allergy related however, I have begun to suspect that this is a form of migraine as well.
