I am 78 and I have tried all kind of diets, but with limited results . 30 days ago I started the lion diet, and the results are amazing. I had a shoulder joint pain to the point that I could hardly used it. Every day I improve in the use of my arm , and that is amaizing. There are other good results too,my digestion, my skin , I sleep so much better. My cravings for sweets are gone. In general I feel better than ever before. Thank you for the nformation and motivation.
Congrats bud. Its heart warming to see a testimonial like this. Never give up on it and stay on track and if you ever feel like u need to add some organ meats but if you feel just fine with just lion diet, dont change a thing
Oh boy, thank you sir. I am 62, and going through nearly the same thing. This gives me so much hope! Started Keto awhile back but now going to go to the next logical step, carnivore.
I'm 53 and a carpenter/contractor. I've lived with chronic joint pain in both hands, elbows and knees for the last 10 years. There have been long periods where I would routinely start every day with 3-4 ibuprofen and more throughout the day. Since going carnivore 6 months ago, joint pain is completely gone. No medications.
Thank you for this video. I found it today, greatly depressed and on the brink of giving up. This is my situation: I suffer from cPTSD, Neurodermitis, Fibromyalgia, Polyneuropathy, PCOS, lots of allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, and extreme hairloss. I used to be a hair model with strong and heavy hair up to my knees, now I have no hair on the top of my scalp, thin and fine hair on the rest of my scalp, and my hairline went back about an inch. I also have a few begnine tumors in my brain from severe head injuries, one of them sits right next to my pituitary gland, and two others sitting on my nervus vagus and my nervus glossopharyngeus, which are being compromised by the begnine tumors as well. I also have empty Sella syndrome. On top of that, a neurologist finally looked into my lab reports more closely last year to find out more about my severe symptoms, which I have had since the assault on September 7th in 2011, and all other doctors declared to be psychological or psychosomatic issues, or a rare kind of migraine. At that point I could hardly walk 50 paces in a row, was tired and totally exhausted day and night, could hardly sleep, had constantly head aches, chronic pain everywhere, and went totally blind several times a day for no reason I knew of. The neurologist diagnosed almost immediately an intracranial hypertension. So I was admitted to the hospital right away for a lumbal puncture to prove it. The diagnose was correct and I went for serial lumbal punctures every 4 to 6 weeks, but denied the off label use of epileptic medication. I wanted a surgery to quit the serial lumbal punctures, which would have to be made more often after about half a year. I did my research online and explained my neurologist that and why I wanted a shunt operation. In Jena, Thuringia, I found a young neurosurgeon from Ukraine, who supported me as well, and so I had my Shunt operation on September 1st in 2023. Now at least the symptoms of the IH are gone. I lost 15 kg since my first lumbal puncture without changing anything. Yet I now still weigh 109.9 kg, which is about 220 lbs. I am a short woman with only 165 cm. Because there was no weight change since November, I went to see an endocrinologist to check my thyroid, as my mom had suffered from hypothyroidism, later diagnosed as Hashimoto. Sadly this "specialist" only checked on my TSH once, also not on T2, T3, or T4. He also did not do an examination on my Vitamine D level or stress hormones. He said my TSH would be "in the range" and I would have to "just go on living with a little bit of not so tender shape". This made me speechless. I have so many problems with my joints, especially with my left knee since childhood, when I was very sportive and a competitive swimmer and former soccer team member of my school. I can now take long walks or go on some easy hikes even, but I have to recover 1-2 days from such activities. So I really *must* get rid of the weight! My knees are in bad shape since my teens. I had several knee surgeries and lots of injections into my knees already as teenager. I have severe chronic pain in all my joints, especially in arms and legs, as well as pain in my back. Lying on my back hurts my back, lying on either side hurts my hips and shoulders, lying on my tummy hurts my neck and head. Sleeping is a very hard quest due to all the pain and also due to my cPTSD. So I hardly slept since about 20 years, during which I mostly only slept about 6 hours per week. I live practically sugarless and saltless since almost 40 years. So I never add salt or sugar, but only take in the natural content of sugar and salt. I also didn't drink or eat any "diet" or "light" products with sweeteners for 33 years. I only drink coffee or tea without sugar or milk, and about 2 liters of mineral water per day. I had my last diet coke more than 30 years ago. I did sooo many diets and had the usual yoyo effect of always gaining more than I had lost before. My mom used to lose weight with Weight Watchers, but I always disliked WW, because during her final 20 years, she would eat a greater amount of tablets than she ate food. She only ate 250 calories a day, so she could keep her weight. Of course she got the golden key from WW, but for what price?!? I have been eating lots of vegetables and fruits, only "healthy" carbs, and only "healthy" vegetable oils and seed oils. I hardly used butter, just a little ghee for cooking from time to time, only lean meat and lean fish twice a week. Yet I had gained weight, extremely when taking antidepressive medication, and after the initial loss of 15 kg, about 30 lbs, after my first lumbal puncture a year ago, my weight stayed the same since November 22nd in 2023. I turned 60 in December. Also I had 6 babies, breastfed for 12.5 years all together. When pregnant, I would always lose weight and feel fantastic, until I stopped breastfeeding. I am so done with this diet topic after having fought for so long. When people look at me now, they see an undisciplined woman feeding on sweets and fat and sugar water - which I am NOT! So now I am starting the fatty carnivore diet and will happily keep you informed on this topic, if you wish so. 😊 If this really works, my sons will be sooo happy for me. I know that for sure. 😊 I subscribed to your channel today and I am looking forward to viewing your other videos. 👌🏻 Thanks again and regards from Germany 😉
Hello, I hope this way of eating helps you get your health back. It has reversed thousands of people’s disorders and diseases. I love reading comments of success stories, it helps to stay motivated as well when you feel like quitting. Check out Kelly Hogan’s channel called My Zero Carb Life, it’s great to hear a female perspective too. Dr. Ken Berry is a great one too. These doctors are upholding their oath, and I’m so thankful. Best wishes from Texas, USA. 😊
I had a knee that snapped crackled and popped in addition to being painful due to an old volleyball injury. I kind of figured it was just something I would have to live with permanently. At some point after starting carnivore I noticed that it no longer hurt or made noises. Awesome.
That's amazing. I am trying to do the same. But I am having sever pain increased after being on keto for 2 years and now carnivore for 10 days. I literally cannot even move or get out of bed. 😢😢
@@warmtheheartofwinter6549 that sound like hell.. I’m sorry. I’ve never felt that way so I don’t know what to say. Just stay positive and eat clean. Every day is another chance. You got this 🙏❤️
@@warmtheheartofwinter6549 could be oxylate dumping. Look up Sally Norton on UA-cam. She explains oxylates and oxylate dumping. Sounds like what you are experiencing. Going straight into carnivore or Lion can cause this. It is recommended to transition by cutting your carbs you were eating by 50% each week. Hope you feel better soon.
My food bill is about half now. It’s so nice to have a freezer stocked and rare trips to the grocery store but when I do I walk past the produce and head only to seafood, meat and eggs dept. To live without joint pain, FM, CFS, And host of other acronyms is amazing.
Nice! I’ve been diagnosed with mild osteoarthritis in both knees and am curious if your results from being on carnivore diet was paired with some knee strengthening exercises?
@@taniadenise5145 Also, it's different for different people. lt could take months, but don't get discouraged. The longer you do it, the better it gets.
@ShardmareUV The pain is somewhat slowly disappearing & still there. I finally have enough energy so started walking and bringing on a whole new set of pain 😂 and about to start Pilate reformer classes (6 as an introductory package) Other things meaning avacados, oranges (I just got over a viral infection) banananas, cocoa powder only when really wanted, lemons every now and then. turmeric & cinnamon occasionally. I do t want to oxylate dump too fast and my hair feels like it has thinned out so don’t want to shock my body too much! Eventually I will go strict and then when I can trust my body to start adding foods and see how my body responds. Bless you & thank you for the encouragement!!! Definitely eating a steak for breakfast and dinner has been helping immensely!!!! 💪🏻🕊
I am 65 this year and found Carnivore in Feb. I've tried different food plans and only carnivore has changed my inflamation issues. I had a hip replacement and a heart attack which I believe stemmed from inflamation. Although I couldn't get docs to agree. I've had low thyroid for 35 years and have never felt good. For the first time in my adult life I am feeling like there's hope for me and my family. I'm grateful for these docs that are teaching about carnivore. blessings of joy.
@@Chelsea-mz4dn torres no reason to stop or chance This diet, its not a diet actually it’s like yo live in heaven. Why should I go back to the past? It was an honor for me to know the Petersons. Then I modified a bit and followed the PKD Paleomedicina Hungarian doctors Czaba Toth and Zsofia Clemens so I add some pork bc I live in 🇪🇸 and here it’s a divinity this JAMÓN;) just to add some omega 3 ;)yes omega 3 in pork and not in salmon. It’s been a good experience. But I had to adapt it bc I train hard with CF When I’m inflamed I fast or fat fasting, I like it. The best for longevity and health is EAT LITTLE! I eat a lot of organs. Every day liver or heart or tongue or brain and lots of marrow. This is the right way. Listen all the interviews of Clemens. She fortunately speaks English. They are the best. No influencers or marketing or subscribers . I love them.
Thank you for this interview. I am in my mid-sixties, carnivore almost 2 years. I've had complete remission of joint pain, though it took a year for all my joints. My blood pressure went to normal without medication. Hb A1c from 6 to 5.1. Night time bathroom trips from 4 to 1. Easy way of eating, only animal based. This works!!
Hell yeah! Btw cartilege can regrow, it just takes a very long time of the exclusion of anything that isnt meat. Stemcell supplements might help the process of cartilege and joint reformation.
@@sagebay2803 I was supplementing D3 and K 2 only because my level started really low. Normal now tho. My folic acid was also low so I'm temporarily supplementing that.
@@gekekoonsI take vitamine D3, but want to take K2 now also. I am going to take some more supplements as soon as I get my next lab data, because all my B vitamins are very low as well. I have had too low vitamins B1, B6 and B12 for many years, also low iron and magnesium, and since 5 years suddenly very high calcium in my blood. It seems as if my body forgot how to use calcium. 😮 I turned 60 recently.
I am 70yrs and knees were giving me troubles. I started the this way of eating April 20th 2023. All that suffering I was going thru went away. Thank you for all the info I am able to find!!!!!
I’m one month carnivore (70 years old) and have lost two inches around my hips, six pounds down. I have thyroid nodules which I’m hoping to shrink with the high fat and taking Lugol’s iodine. My Doctor is actually excited to see my cholesterol results in a few months, as am I
Nice progress! I wouldn't put any emphasis on cholesterol results! Educate yourself and save articles for your doc when your total cholesterol and ldl go up and your triglycerides go down. Remind him/her that older patients with elevated LDL's live longer! Keep up the good work! Rita from White Bluff, TN 🎉
Look at Dr Boz video about cholesterol. Mine went sky high either high fat keto. Later on, it went down. Cholesterol is good and she explains what it does. I’m 75 and normal weight for first time since 1991. Yay, to us older folks! I feel better than I did in my 40’s!
Chronic SI joint back pain since I was in my late 20s. Am 58, started carnivore over 6 wks ago. Back pain was at a 8-9/10 every day. Along with doubled over digestive pain most every day. Back pain is at a 1-2/10. Digestive issue was gone day#1. Had some constipation, but this is starting to improve. Down 10 lbs. Im SO hopeful my back pain keeps improving. Most hope Ive had in about 3 yrs. So grateful. ❤
I am turning 60 in June, I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands, especially my prominent right thumb joints, and my left foot. I have been diagnosed in the past year with inflammatory arthritis, I have known about the Sjogren syndrome since 2008, and I now have the super rare dermatomyositis. I also have a lot of calcification in lymph nodes and other parts of my body. After the diagnosis of especially the autoimmune diseases I looked into changing my diet instead of taking the pills the Dr. wants me to take. I found several good videos on the benefits of the Carnivore way of eating and autoimmune diseases, so I started on it about 8 months ago. About 1 year ago when this diagnosis journey began, I was 167# with severe pain in my right thumb that I thought surgery would be the only way to relieve. I have chronic pain issues and calcification Rice granules as well in my right shoulder from a fall almost 20 years ago. So now 8 months in, I am at 137#, the inflammation and pain are significantly better!! And NO SURGERY unless the severe pain returns. I still have physical limitations due to the deformed joints in my hands and foot that I am adapting to or asking for help with. I have a brace that stabilizes my thumb joint that helps with everyday living. Try to start your car without your thumb, do buttons, or put a ponytail in your hair...I can!! Adapt and OVERCOME!! I can't wait to see my lab #s later this month. I feel better than I have in many years!! One thing I had a hard time with was the lifetime of "you must eat 3 meals a day"....to "I don't need to eat till i am hungry, usually once a day now. Another thing I have noticed is that my fat is virtually gone!! I have extra skin as i got over 210# in the 90's after an injury, but the fat is gone!! I suggest to anyone I know with health issues that will listen to my story to look into this way of eating and maybe just try for 30 days, see what happens. You won't be sorry!! ✌❤🤩🙏
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story with us Terri! What amazing changes and dedication. It’s so wonderful to hear this and such an inspiration. Check at Functional Range Conditioning for possibly helping improve your joint function more with movement. Happy birthday and thank you for watching!
@@MotionUnlimited1 I will look into that. I have been in PT for my shoulder for months and am finally making some promising progress. Next is getting the rest of me back into shape as my physical limitations allow. Thanks
Gin Soaked Golden Raisins Is What Helped My “ Arthritis of The Thumb “ It’s The Only Carb That I Allow I Take 9 A Day….Google for Further Info ! PS…Fifteen Years Ago, My Hand Surgeon Wanted to Operate As The Only Solution, My Raisins Were My Salvation !
Have you tried Earthing (health benefits of Earthing) yet? and Borax it provides body with element and trace mineral Boron; and MSM (organic sulfur)? body needs it to repair joints and joint fluids and many diets lack this
When I started carnivore I was dealing with pain in my neck from an accident for 7 YEARS, pain in both shoulders for 9 months, pain in my right knee, left elbow and right big toe. ALL PAIN WAS GONE IN WEEK 2 OF CARNIVORE!!!! Carnivore is a magic pill.
Well, I'm glad for you but now ending week 2 for me and I feel horrible! Aches all over, unbearable sciatic pain, joint pain. Wish my body would hurry and get through it!!
@@babsphillips8583Sorry to hear. Are you better now ? 2 weeks after your post ? I had inflammation issues and went keto on March 1. Pains etc. remained for months. I asked dr. Fung when that inflammation would be expected to subside. He responded ‘probably around early November’. On November 1 it was gone….
About three weeks on keto and my knee pain nearly disappeared. I was shocked. A few weeks more and it was gone. The orthopedist's options were 1) steroid injections (no, please!) 2) injection of gel after a couple more years of pain (can't remember the name) 3) and eventually a knee replacement. I almost just believed him because I'd been very hard on my knees for decades and figured it was just the normal path. I started eating keto for an unrelated reason, not expecting my knee to benefit, so it wasn't a placebo effect of any sort. It just happened and now I'm starting to run again and do deep squats when 8 months ago I couldn't hike or walk 2-3 mph on a treadmill without a lot of pain and then swelling afterwards. Now my choices are eat steak and be active or eat bread and be a sofa toad. Easy choice, no ortho needed. I think orthos are doing us a disservice by not even suggesting that we can relieve pain with diet, in some cases.
Just want to say that I can vouch for this in reverse: I'm 56, 99% carnivore but ate cake yesterday because it was my dad's birthday, and woke up this morning with terrible elbow pain! I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to recede, but I've learned my lesson. No more indulging, it just ain't worth it!
Stage 4 hip osteoarthritis. Started carnivore 2 months ago, achieved full elimination of plants 2 weeks ago. Already, my pain is down to the point that I can shift some weight onto my more degenerated side and create some medial rotation of the femur.
@@MorningInAmerica_Nov_5_2024 Some days better than others. I have fallen off with the carnivore way of eating unfortunately. Still meat based, but I fell back to coffee and dark chocolate, which has led to a spiral of poor discipline over the past 1-2 months. The pain was my excuse for “not being so hard on myself”. Lame excuse but I feel a bit stuck nonetheless.
@@TheBrucepix You can always go beck. l've had a hard time quitting coffee. All the other things were easy for me, but that coffee is kicking me in the butt! Hope the best for you.
Yup, 63 year old woman, I had bad pain in my hips and ankles and at times other joints. All went as soon as I went on a low carb high fat (including lots of meat) diet 🎉
When you say low carb, how many grams a day approximately? Or what percentage per day please. I’m trying this out but I went too low carb a t first and started having electrolyte imbalance, so I have increased the carbs but don’t want to stall my weight loss.
My legs have been bothering me for awhile. This year I put in a garden and it near killed me. I started Ketovore about a month ago, and have lost some weight. My knees still ache badly if I do much walking and my tendons are short so I shuffle. Sometimes I get restless leg syndrome at night with the odd foot cramp so physically, I still feel like an elderly old woman. Going to stick with ketovore for another month and then start cutting out heavy cream in my coffee, cheese on my eggs and no low carb veggies at all. See if that makes a difference.
Hello Wendy, I hope you are experiencing continued progress? Please update. I do believe strict carnivore is the best plan to see measurable results. Personally, I am giving myself a month to give up heavy whipping cream and coffee then plunge into the deep end come Jan 1. Carnivore is so uncomplicated but takes mental resolve also social commitments are looming to derail me. It is December and also my birth month so I will be as good as possible. Best of luck to you.
That's good to know. l recently put my asthmatic cat on a carnivore diet, hoping for no more vet visits. So far so good. Hope the Carnivore diet helps to keep you from getting the cold or flu! 😁
Thank you!!! Just starting the Carnivore Diet. I hope to see a significant improvement in the osteoarthritis in my knee and weight loss. I've read so many testimonials on so many videos of people who were healed of arthritis problems and so many other disorders, that I thought, I have to try it! Just subscribed too.
Keto 5yrs ketovore/ cornnivore 5 months OA knees 65 pounds down lots of fat loss knees are as diagnosed bone on bone still moving pain better than it was but I believe it is from the weight loss. But I do a lot of arthritis exercise every other day. To try to keep it moving. Dont know if I can improve my knees more but I feel better and I figured why not try it.
@@KetoMama777your knees can develop bew cartilege and lubrication, it just takes a year or more. Try stemcells from cerule. That would make the process go faster as the supplements help your none marrow produce healthy adult stemcells
Id love to be a study on the knees. 46 yrs young with dual degenerative osteoarthritic knees from a motorcycle Tbone🥩 accident 20 yrs ago. 6 months strict carnivore and the dual knee nerve pain is minimized but still crunchy and dry. Continuing meat/water only lifestyle to attempt regeneration.
since I started Carnivore, my joints feel great. I have trained with weight since High school as a powerlifter, then I switched to what I call Power Bodybuilding. Basically heavy weight with high reps. Then I did Prowrestling for 15 years. Basically lots of pain, then 5 years ago tore my Meniscus. For 5 years nothing worked and pain, since I started Carnivore (about 8 weeks) pain mostly gone and the knee is getting better and the flexibility is coming back...
Hi, i have got torn meniscus in both knees...everytime i play football it swells up badly for weeks...ive had steriod injection in both knees but body not happy with it...anything you recommend? What did you eat on the carnivore?
@@kundi13knees over toes guy mate!! It's called the ATG program. UA-cam it. Incorporate these exercises into your life and the results along with diet are insane!!
Yes I love it...I am eating meat, eggs, bacon and Butter. I use the butter and eat it as well. Love it and if you have any type of joint pain or an injury I suggest you try it. It will change your life.@@hermessangiovano
I suffered a knee injury on my bmx bike when I was about 21 that really called for surgery but I kept riding for years after and reinjured numerous times. By the time I was in my early 30s I limped significantly. This was around the time I started looking for long term solutions for my chronic pain and explored new diets. I eliminated sugar and refined carbohydrates and at a lot of meat and protein for the following years and got more exercise. My eating style has evolved to a less carnivorous diet but includes a lot of eggs and whole ingredients. I usually eat once a day and try to stay below a target of 20g or less of net carbs a day. I have a diet that focuses mainly on cooking with whole ingredients, avoiding seed oils, and eating as clean as possible. I experience very little pain anywhere in my body anymore and can effectively roller skate like someone in their 20’s and am in my mid 40s now. I believe a carnivorous diet can help shed off stagnant extra weight full of toxins that can lead to chronic pain but if I do experience aches I can often attribute it to eating something that probably wasn’t too clean. For example I avoid pork even though I enjoy it but pork isn’t really clean meat and I think it makes me feel like hell if I have any. Same with shrimp, crab, bottom feeders, etc. If I am eating things like salmon, tuna, grass fed beef I definitely feel much better. I believe personally all these factors make a difference. If you eat animals that eat 💩 or were poorly raised, it transfers to you and you feel like 💩. Closer to source is the goal for me.
For years my eating was based on meat and eggs, no processed food. Even went carnivore for a year, and bragged about how good I felt. Until… they discovered angina pectoris. Very tired and gassed with chest pains. That was a humbling experience. Back to eating fruits and vegetables again and feeling much better.
@@ShardmareUV considering my healthy no smoking, no drugs and no alcohol lifestyle, it must have been the diet. Was eating no sugar and processed foods, but a lot of meat and eggs. And yes, they wanted to put me statins, which I refused. Am taking red yeast rice though, since last week.
I've had hip and knee pain for years. I run a lot and after hard workouts or really long runs I would dread walking up or down stairs. It hurt so bad. I've been keto for 6 years but about a week into carnivore and my hip and knee are pain free! I couldn't believe it. I thought I was going to have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Guess not! :)
I'm back on carnivore after a couple of years and it's great. I remember when I still ate SAD I took MSM to try to help with my crippling plantar fasciitis. It went away after 2 days. Just putting it out their.
80 yrs Carnivore no joint pain female. Started with his 30 day challenge about 5 years was keto before that worried about muscle loss on that. Normal weight.
I eat mostly beef...fatty steaks, high fat ground beef, chicken thighs/legs, salmon, sardines, tons of eggs, bacon , sausage . Limited dairy and cheese. Watch Steak and Butter gal, Dr. Ken Berry here on you tube. Lots of butter keeps me satiated and losing weight. Reversed my T2D, lost 76 lbs over year. Zero pain and off all meds including high blood pressure.
@Mecca I do limited cheese no milk had to stop . I do Fast 72 hrs each week mirror Dr Boz plus I never suffer love 💕 the feeling been doing a long time. I am going for healthy long lifespan. 8 GC love to watch them grow and watch their accomplishments.
Why worry about muscle lose on keto, you just need to have protein first then you will be fine. But both diets are great if done correctly with all the so called keto foods.
I've been doing BJJ for about 7 years now and am thinking of trying this diet for the main purpose of fixing the joint pain I now carry because of jiu-jitsu.
@@cornypinkuni9519 i lost some weight and felt pretty good... but my family wasnt doing it with me and it got to be expensive so I went back to my normal diet.
I like that Baker does orthopedics and what he said about weight. I am very small with scoliosis and disc bulging on my spine in 4 places. Weight has nothing whatsoever to do with the pain for me and it was unbearable to say the least. Better now on carnivore when Nothing else touched the awful pain.
How long did it take for you to feel better? On carnivore 3 months , I have seen an increase in joint pain and back pain from spinal stenosis. I am hopeful, but everyone seems to be getting relief much sooner than 3 months
Within just over two weeks pain is significantly reduced. Won’t be needing the injection anytime soon. I cut the carbs and sugars significantly. Eating mostly meat , fish, and eggs.
I am so tempted to do this. I've had neck pain more than half of my life at this point (it started when I was 14/13 years old). I am tired of being in pain with nothing to help. I am cutting out dairy and going to eat fish, eggs, and meat.
Chronically high insulin levels seem to be the root cause of bad health. From cancer, overweight and obesity, inflammation, diabetes etc. apparently you can have relatively good blood sugar and still have consistently high insulin levels. A Kraft test is how to know our body’s insulin sensitivity levels.
@@marnasletten3988 No, it’s a rather long test administered by a doctor where you come in fasted then you drink some sugar water and they measure your insulin response. Then you wait a couple more hours and they measure your insulin again then you drink some more sugar water then wait again and they measure your insulin response and level again. It’s probably the most accurate way to measure insulin sensitivity and or resistance there is.
When I have pushed past sleep and I've focused on work tasks personal stuff I'll cramp no matter the diet. Usually be on a bit of a dry fast and mildly constipated. No problem if I actually eat sleep drink water with enough salt.
I think maybe I’m weird. Age 53, carnivore for 9 months, occasionally eat lasagna and pizza socially, then go back to carnivore next meal. Two meals a day, lost 50 lbs so far and about 20 lbs from goal weight of 195. Notice if I eat off diet sometimes, my teeth will sometimes hurt for an hour after eating (as if I have a sinus infection) and sometimes my knees will hurt. Perhaps I’m socially eating something that is causing a cascade of inflammation. I’m starting to get the message!
if I get off carnivore and eat some carbs once inawhile , I get the same sinus like congestion ,I guess it is all conected with bowels and problems will start
@@janapeony8561 I did find out last week that Lawrys seasoned salt triggers this tooth root pain within 20 minutes of eating the meat with that type of salt.
Glad to hear it can take 3 months. I have not had any reduction in hip pain after 12 weeks low to no carb., but after 9 weeks I stopped eating all dairy so I will give it more time.
I get cramps in my feet and lower legs while trying to sleep. I get that a lot and even when I don't cramp, I feel like I'm on the verge of cramping. I take magnesium and use potassium chloride and real salt on my food.
I had this at about 6 months into carnivore. You could be dehydrated, especially if you drink coffee or alcohol. Another possibility is you’re not eating enough (this was the case for me as I’m very active).
When I first started the carnivore diet I used to get the same kind of cramping. I would sleep with a bag of salt next to my bed and eat some when I felt the cramping coming on. UGH. After about 6 mo. on the diet the cramping stopped. I don't have any more issues. Hope this helps. Those cramps are awful.
As your body dumps fluids from inflammation it uses the magnesium and other body salts/ minerals as binders as it releases oxalates etc. Keto Chow daily minerals plus ample amounts of Redmonds is essential as the chemistry of the body normalizes and reorganizes nutrients. Egg yolks also provide essential nutrients. I don't care for beef liver but I sure like chicken livers and pate. I eat Nori with pate. People just can't be metabolically dysfunctional and not also be malnutritioned.
The answer seems to be boron. There's a video by Dr. Suresh Khirwadkar called "30 Day Rib-eye Challenge" where he talks about getting terrible leg cramps during his 30 challenge and narrows it down to a boron deficiency, and then cures the problem with boron. If you decide to watch the video (it's a long one) speed it up x1.5 because he does a lot of pausing and teasing for no reason.
What about never having joint pain UNTIL starting lion? I've been on carnivore / ketovore off an on for 5+ years. Day 3 of strict Lion I developed weird tingling in my legs and super sore hip joints bilaterally. ... to the point that it woke me up during the night and I couldn't get comfortable... thoughts? Oh and I just gave up coffee too when starting this Lion thing... Coffee has been a part of my daily life for DECADES.
I’m in a ton of pain.. AS.. lupus.. and mast cell. Every joint. I hope carnivore helps me. So far I’m really inflamed. I wonder if it will get better. I’ve been keto.. nearly carnivore for the past few weeks.
I did Keto for about a year. I lost weight and reduced some pain. As of August 1st I started the Beef, Butter, Bacon and egg elimination diet. (See Dr Ken Berry on you tube) Within three weeks all my pains were gone and I started getting dizzy. I checked my blood pressure and it was 94 over 62.Within two weeks my doctor weened me off my blood pressure meds that I had been on for 18 years. After 75 day I went to just carnivore and now my glucose falls in the 80's to 100 in the mornings and I am no longer pre-diabetic. My husband says I no longer snore and my acid reflux is gone. I am down 78 lbs since January and at 61 feeling better than I have in the last 20 years. It has changed my life. Hope you have good results. PS: I will not lie, I had three months of loose stools but I blame this on how insulin resistant I was. All that inflammation has to exit somehow. Anyway it finally resolved. Hang in there if you have similar issues.
4 weeks on carnivore and my hands still hurt the same. I quit eating dairy now, to see if that helps. And I still have 2 decaf coffee a day. Eat all kinds of meat except pork.
@@MotionUnlimited1 7 months on carnivore now. Only water. Lost a lot of weight but that was not the goal. Joint pain in hands is worse ... . Tried BBBE. Not better. Getting tired of dealing with all these physicaĺ problems and trying to figure it out.
@@geertruivanbroekhoven7209 I agree with the other person, ditch any caffeine or even decaf for at least a month and see if it helps, if you haven’t already
Carnivor got rid of arthritis for me for months. Fell off a little, back on for a couple of weeks, but the arthritis in my hands is horrible. Other benefits of carnivore seem to be in effect, but not Arthritis. Am I too impatient? Help. I don't know who to message really.So i'm going to try multiple sources. Thank you to anyone who can help, I am very grateful. I can't use my hands much, it's awful
37 yo 205 lbs 6'0 with heavy hips arthrities . Im almost 3 weeks in very strict keto , no crabs sugar weat alcohol besides few glasses of dry red wine once in few days - but my hip pain did not go away what so ever but im keeping the diet meybe it help further in time , but for now i just lost weight and feel better but no change in the hip pain .
I’ve had joint pain for years and started the carnivore diet 2 months now. Initially all my joints pain disappeared! But it’s back and I’m not what’s going on
Carnivore for justa few weeks, did sloppy keto before for nearly a year, started it first time for mental stuff, the description said it eases depression gives you more energy and focus ... and to my great surprise it did ... then slipped and v depressed ...now carnivore and as people keep saying... Knee is better, neck is better, hands better, elbow still dodgey ...but its inly been a few weeks this time , also doing cold treatment, only 10mins cold bath, no ice ... Yet 😂😂😂 .. wow ...thats dopamine but I dont think Id have had the gumption, the joy, the spirit ...without my new carni-brain ...🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉
I'm a former triathlete who spent several years over training. At 58 now, I had been experiencing knee pain for several months. I've been worried about going into my retirement years with chronic knee pain. I started carnivore a couple of months ago, not even knowing that it could help joint pain. But I suddenly realized I had not complained to my husband about knee pain in awhile, nor had I had knee pain during the night when sleeping in certain positions as I had in the past. I keep questioning it and thinking about, could it be true? Is my knee pain really gone? Seems so! I can't believe it.
Help! I am Chilean and have had a hard time booking for a consultation. I have Raynaud, and therefore Rheumatoid arthrosis, extremely swollen hands, and fingers that turn very white and numb when it is old. I will begin the lion diet. I am 70 years old. I weigh 50 kilos, so perhaps I will become extremely thin as time goes by. I don't care. I want to reverse this Raynaud autoimmune condition! I can't play the guitar anymore but would love to continue playing the piano. Question: Can I drink coffee (black) while following the Lion Diet?
That’s a great question. I’ve been on carnivore for over 3 months and the one thing I cannot quit is my coffee with a little splash of heavy whipping cream and a drop of stevia. I feel like if I could give it up,I’d be ahead of the game!
67 years old. Fit in all areas and still teach sea kayaking and martial arts. I was diagnosed with gout 26 years ago and suffered badly. It eventually went away. I tried a strict carnivore diet for 6 weeks before covid and felt great. Unfortunately the gout returned 3 months later. Not sure if related but you can imagine how the doctor reacted. Inspired by so many positive stories, I have gone carnivore again. Only 2 weeks in but ankles and knees not very stiff. Is there anything I can do to get passed this?
I would try taking coffee out if you’re up for it. Do it slowly though. It wasn’t until I took coffee all the way out that I got better results with carnivore.
@@drbills1236 - I hear conflicting advice on coffee all the time. Update now several weeks in. Things have improved considerably. I do have severe bone on bone in both ankles so I have to accept limitations and do the best I can. I have lost 2 stone back to my boxing weight in my 20s. Still improving every week and feel so much better physically and mentally. I will try cutting out coffee to see if that improves things even more.
I am 50 years old, suffered a tibial plateau fracture on my right knee 2 years ago. my right knee is buckling, and now my dr says I will need a knee replacement. Can the carnivore diet fix this to where I won't need a knee replacement
I have been on Carnivore Diet for 14 months. I am down 115 lbs and my joint pain eased off the first 10 months but now I have joint pain in my shoulders. I am 79 next month and I am considering just ignoring the pain than going through surgery & recovery. 👀
I’m 7 months carnivore now, few days ago my right hip and knee started hurting so much… seems it’s getting worst daily 😥. I’m not cheating on food-strictly on animal products.
Might be more of a muscle joint issue. Here’s a couple of videos that might help. 1. ua-cam.com/video/m5coPh9KWxI/v-deo.html 2. ua-cam.com/video/mu_g_ybEJso/v-deo.html 3. ua-cam.com/video/GL_zxEcW-rk/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
I've heard that you can not grow back cartilage. But I've heard you can but it's a long process. I think that if you are eating the proper human diet taking the right supplements and doing the right arthritis exercises you can keep what you have if not slightly improve it. Good luck do pray for your healing.
I’ve got moderate to severe disc degeneration and osteoarthritis in most of my joints . 90% carnivore now for 19 mos . My gut is still a wreck . Losing way too much weight & now muscle . Lost my cycle & hair . Hair is coming back . I’ve got to add carbs back in I do well with goat kefir & raw milk in small doses . Some berries . Lion helps my gut start to heal keeps joint pain under control but my body gets to thin . Trying to find my balance.
We as humans started eating more vegetables and grains during the Younger Dryas period due to the large animal extinctions which greatly reduced our carnivore food supply.
This is misleading. There were infinitely more hunter gatherers than farmers for a very long time after YD. Mondols, Huns, the nomadic tribes that lived over most of Eastern Europe were thriving 1,000 years ago not 11,000.
I have been on the Carnivore diet for 5 months with noticeable weight loss and body adjustments. I primarily consume beef, Butter, Ghee, bacon, eggs, chicken, sour cream, cheese. My starting weight was 328lbs and has moved to 311lbs. Many nagging aches and pains have vanished, I breath easier, and my mind is clearing up. I'm still sedentary for the most part but soon will be going for walks. Four years ago, I almost broke my left leg shinbone but tore loose the tendons and cartilage in the left knee and the ankle. Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing cramps in my calf muscles and my feet tendons that dissipated but the last two days the ankle & tendons ( left side of Achilles Tendon) on that left foot is being real mean to me forcing me to limp some to avoid pain. Btw, I had some gout issues but a sometime back and a Holistic practitioner advised me to use celery seed and Tart cherry extract capsules and it was gone in under 48 hrs. After all this above, any opinions or recommended additions or changes you may have please. Thank you.
l would dump the sour cream, and cheese. Try for more beef and maybe some salt for cramps. Don't forget to drink your water. Also, stay off the scale. Good luck on your journey! ♥
@@hermanchristian3536 Others may chime in, but a pinch of potassium chloride powder (1/16-1/8 tsp), a quarter teaspoon of Magnesium glycinate powder, a shake of salt in a glass of water is what I do.
Possibly not sure how long it can last. Some people report it can take a month or two to clear symptoms. It’s important to stick with just meat and water for a while and treat it as an elimination diet.
Look up Sally Norton about oxalate dumping problems. She recommends a tailored approach to removing oxalate foods. Going more gradually if you’re having trouble. Maybe you don’t want to add plants back in, but she says even a strong cup of tea could be enough to calm your body down so it’s not dumping oxalate stores so rapidly. Good luck!
I get a lot of pain from red meat and salt. I love meat but I get more pain from it. I have COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME. But rheumatoroid artheiris people also get pain from meat and salt.
Did you eliminate everything besides meat? I was carnivore for 21months and I noticed pain was dependent on how much cheese/cream/egg whites I’d eaten. So I quit them. I’m two weeks in and I’m blown away. Pain is gone and joints feel more stable.
What do you consider strict carnivore? No coffee, alcohol, fruit? If you’re eating just meat and only drinking water then you are being a strict carnivore. Is that what you’re doing?
Can a person maintain weight on a carnivore diet? Like my husband and I don't need to lose weight, but we are looking into carnivore for pain. Thank you.
@lindalu8565 absolutely! I Have a number of friends who have been doing carnivore for over 2 years now that were not overweight and are maintaining their weight.
I lost 10 pounds on carnivore. Once I hit 170 pounds my weight stabalized. I'm 5'11" very low bodyfat. I weight train and hit a decent step count daily.
@@MotionUnlimited1I have interesting question. Cartilage is 80% water. And 65% of that is in joints. So, can drinking more water help regenerate cartilage.

I am 78 and I have tried all kind of diets, but with limited results . 30 days ago I started the lion diet, and the results are amazing. I had a shoulder joint pain to the point that I could hardly used it. Every day I improve in the use of my arm , and that is amaizing. There are other good results too,my digestion, my skin , I sleep so much better. My cravings for sweets are gone. In general I feel better than ever before. Thank you for the nformation and motivation.
Thank you for sharing this! So great to hear!
Never too late to get healthy.
Congrats bud. Its heart warming to see a testimonial like this. Never give up on it and stay on track and if you ever feel like u need to add some organ meats but if you feel just fine with just lion diet, dont change a thing
Keep up the good work 👍🥩
Oh boy, thank you sir. I am 62, and going through nearly the same thing. This gives me so much hope! Started Keto awhile back but now going to go to the next logical step, carnivore.
I'm 53 and a carpenter/contractor. I've lived with chronic joint pain in both hands, elbows and knees for the last 10 years. There have been long periods where I would routinely start every day with 3-4 ibuprofen and more throughout the day. Since going carnivore 6 months ago, joint pain is completely gone. No medications.
I take 600 mg Tramadol every day and hope to get rid of the medication.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm seriously encouraged. I'm 2 weeks into carnivore and believe the end to knee arthritis is here!
❤
That's fantastic! 😊
I' m jealous. 7 months carnivore. Also only water now. Joint pain same.
Thank you for this video. I found it today, greatly depressed and on the brink of giving up.
This is my situation:
I suffer from cPTSD, Neurodermitis, Fibromyalgia, Polyneuropathy, PCOS, lots of allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, and extreme hairloss. I used to be a hair model with strong and heavy hair up to my knees, now I have no hair on the top of my scalp, thin and fine hair on the rest of my scalp, and my hairline went back about an inch.
I also have a few begnine tumors in my brain from severe head injuries, one of them sits right next to my pituitary gland, and two others sitting on my nervus vagus and my nervus glossopharyngeus, which are being compromised by the begnine tumors as well. I also have empty Sella syndrome. On top of that, a neurologist finally looked into my lab reports more closely last year to find out more about my severe symptoms, which I have had since the assault on September 7th in 2011, and all other doctors declared to be psychological or psychosomatic issues, or a rare kind of migraine. At that point I could hardly walk 50 paces in a row, was tired and totally exhausted day and night, could hardly sleep, had constantly head aches, chronic pain everywhere, and went totally blind several times a day for no reason I knew of. The neurologist diagnosed almost immediately an intracranial hypertension. So I was admitted to the hospital right away for a lumbal puncture to prove it. The diagnose was correct and I went for serial lumbal punctures every 4 to 6 weeks, but denied the off label use of epileptic medication. I wanted a surgery to quit the serial lumbal punctures, which would have to be made more often after about half a year. I did my research online and explained my neurologist that and why I wanted a shunt operation. In Jena, Thuringia, I found a young neurosurgeon from Ukraine, who supported me as well, and so I had my Shunt operation on September 1st in 2023.
Now at least the symptoms of the IH are gone. I lost 15 kg since my first lumbal puncture without changing anything. Yet I now still weigh 109.9 kg, which is about 220 lbs. I am a short woman with only 165 cm.
Because there was no weight change since November, I went to see an endocrinologist to check my thyroid, as my mom had suffered from hypothyroidism, later diagnosed as Hashimoto. Sadly this "specialist" only checked on my TSH once, also not on T2, T3, or T4. He also did not do an examination on my Vitamine D level or stress hormones. He said my TSH would be "in the range" and I would have to "just go on living with a little bit of not so tender shape". This made me speechless. I have so many problems with my joints, especially with my left knee since childhood, when I was very sportive and a competitive swimmer and former soccer team member of my school. I can now take long walks or go on some easy hikes even, but I have to recover 1-2 days from such activities. So I really *must* get rid of the weight!
My knees are in bad shape since my teens. I had several knee surgeries and lots of injections into my knees already as teenager. I have severe chronic pain in all my joints, especially in arms and legs, as well as pain in my back. Lying on my back hurts my back, lying on either side hurts my hips and shoulders, lying on my tummy hurts my neck and head. Sleeping is a very hard quest due to all the pain and also due to my cPTSD. So I hardly slept since about 20 years, during which I mostly only slept about 6 hours per week.
I live practically sugarless and saltless since almost 40 years. So I never add salt or sugar, but only take in the natural content of sugar and salt. I also didn't drink or eat any "diet" or "light" products with sweeteners for 33 years. I only drink coffee or tea without sugar or milk, and about 2 liters of mineral water per day. I had my last diet coke more than 30 years ago. I did sooo many diets and had the usual yoyo effect of always gaining more than I had lost before. My mom used to lose weight with Weight Watchers, but I always disliked WW, because during her final 20 years, she would eat a greater amount of tablets than she ate food. She only ate 250 calories a day, so she could keep her weight. Of course she got the golden key from WW, but for what price?!?
I have been eating lots of vegetables and fruits, only "healthy" carbs, and only "healthy" vegetable oils and seed oils. I hardly used butter, just a little ghee for cooking from time to time, only lean meat and lean fish twice a week. Yet I had gained weight, extremely when taking antidepressive medication, and after the initial loss of 15 kg, about 30 lbs, after my first lumbal puncture a year ago, my weight stayed the same since November 22nd in 2023.
I turned 60 in December. Also I had 6 babies, breastfed for 12.5 years all together. When pregnant, I would always lose weight and feel fantastic, until I stopped breastfeeding.
I am so done with this diet topic after having fought for so long. When people look at me now, they see an undisciplined woman feeding on sweets and fat and sugar water - which I am NOT!
So now I am starting the fatty carnivore diet and will happily keep you informed on this topic, if you wish so. 😊
If this really works, my sons will be sooo happy for me. I know that for sure. 😊
I subscribed to your channel today and I am looking forward to viewing your other videos. 👌🏻
Thanks again and regards from Germany 😉
Hello, I hope this way of eating helps you get your health back. It has reversed thousands of people’s disorders and diseases. I love reading comments of success stories, it helps to stay motivated as well when you feel like quitting. Check out Kelly Hogan’s channel called My Zero Carb Life, it’s great to hear a female perspective too. Dr. Ken Berry is a great one too. These doctors are upholding their oath, and I’m so thankful. Best wishes from Texas, USA. 😊
Stick with it. It's hard, but you've got this!!! Just be patient as your conditions can't be fixed very quickly, but they will be fixed.
Good luck 👍
Goodness I pray 🙏🏽 that you will gradually heal from all your challenges.
All the best! I would love to read an update sometime.

@lisasternenkind6467 any updates on your progress?
Wanted to say regarding drinking tea, it can often be high in fluoride, which works against the thyroid.
I had a knee that snapped crackled and popped in addition to being painful due to an old volleyball injury. I kind of figured it was just something I would have to live with permanently. At some point after starting carnivore I noticed that it no longer hurt or made noises. Awesome.
I lost 180 pounds after I cut out everything processed, and started eating real food. Beef and eggs saved me. Just drink water folks.
That's amazing. I am trying to do the same. But I am having sever pain increased after being on keto for 2 years and now carnivore for 10 days. I literally cannot even move or get out of bed. 😢😢
@@warmtheheartofwinter6549 that sound like hell.. I’m sorry. I’ve never felt that way so I don’t know what to say. Just stay positive and eat clean. Every day is another chance. You got this 🙏❤️
@@warmtheheartofwinter6549 could be oxylate dumping. Look up Sally Norton on UA-cam. She explains oxylates and oxylate dumping. Sounds like what you are experiencing. Going straight into carnivore or Lion can cause this. It is recommended to transition by cutting your carbs you were eating by 50% each week. Hope you feel better soon.
@warmtheheartofwinter6549 are you eating dairy? I'm not able to handle even fermented dairy, it all makes me inflamed and severely achy
@@jenniferhahn2851 yeah I eat A2 dairy specifically
My food bill is
about half now. It’s so nice to have a freezer stocked and rare trips to the grocery store but when I do I walk past the produce and head only to seafood, meat and eggs dept. To live without joint pain, FM, CFS, And host of other acronyms is amazing.
So cool! I'm loving the simplicity of grocery shopping too! 😊
Exactly...
Great interview. I'm carnavore, 71 y/o, and joint pain went away after 2 months. Also off blood pressure medication.

@janethomas78
What did you eat? I am eating a steak morning & evening (and other things) and still in pain…. 😢
@@taniadenise5145 Don't eat other things. 🙂
@@taniadenise5145 Also, it's different for different people. lt could take months, but don't get discouraged. The longer you do it, the better it gets.
@ShardmareUV
The pain is somewhat slowly disappearing & still there. I finally have enough energy so started walking and bringing on a whole new set of pain 😂 and about to start Pilate reformer classes (6 as an introductory package)
Other things meaning avacados, oranges (I just got over a viral infection) banananas, cocoa powder only when really wanted, lemons every now and then. turmeric & cinnamon occasionally.
I do t want to oxylate dump too fast and my hair feels like it has thinned out so don’t want to shock my body too much!
Eventually I will go strict and then when I can trust my body to start adding foods and see how my body responds.
Bless you & thank you for the encouragement!!!
Definitely eating a steak for breakfast and dinner has been helping immensely!!!! 💪🏻🕊
I am 65 this year and found Carnivore in Feb. I've tried different food plans and only carnivore has changed my inflamation issues. I had a hip replacement and a heart attack which I believe stemmed from inflamation. Although I couldn't get docs to agree. I've had low thyroid for 35 years and have never felt good. For the first time in my adult life I am feeling like there's hope for me and my family. I'm grateful for these docs that are teaching about carnivore. blessings of joy.
I’m the queen of joint pains for years and healed with Lion carnivore diet. ❤
Have you gone back to eating other things, or do you need to maintain it? I'm in the same boat ❤

I had knee pain for over 23 years and I have no joint pain now that I am on carnivore
Thank you for this interview. I am in my mid-sixties, carnivore almost 2 years. I've had complete remission of joint pain, though it took a year for all my joints. My blood pressure went to normal without medication. Hb A1c from 6 to 5.1. Night time bathroom trips from 4 to 1. Easy way of eating, only animal based. This works!!
Hell yeah! Btw cartilege can regrow, it just takes a very long time of the exclusion of anything that isnt meat. Stemcell supplements might help the process of cartilege and joint reformation.
@@sagebay2803 I was supplementing D3 and K 2 only because my level started really low. Normal now tho. My folic acid was also low so I'm temporarily supplementing that.
@@gekekoonsI take vitamine D3, but want to take K2 now also. I am going to take some more supplements as soon as I get my next lab data, because all my B vitamins are very low as well.

Remind him/her that older patients with elevated LDL's live longer! Keep up the good work! Rita from White Bluff, TN 🎉
how is it going? did your ldl, hdl, and total go up? and trigs and hba1c go down? all good?

I am turning 60 in June, I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands, especially my prominent right thumb joints, and my left foot. I have been diagnosed in the past year with inflammatory arthritis, I have known about the Sjogren syndrome since 2008, and I now have the super rare dermatomyositis. I also have a lot of calcification in lymph nodes and other parts of my body. After the diagnosis of especially the autoimmune diseases I looked into changing my diet instead of taking the pills the Dr. wants me to take. I found several good videos on the benefits of the Carnivore way of eating and autoimmune diseases, so I started on it about 8 months ago. About 1 year ago when this diagnosis journey began, I was 167# with severe pain in my right thumb that I thought surgery would be the only way to relieve. I have chronic pain issues and calcification Rice granules as well in my right shoulder from a fall almost 20 years ago. So now 8 months in, I am at 137#, the inflammation and pain are significantly better!! And NO SURGERY unless the severe pain returns. I still have physical limitations due to the deformed joints in my hands and foot that I am adapting to or asking for help with. I have a brace that stabilizes my thumb joint that helps with everyday living. Try to start your car without your thumb, do buttons, or put a ponytail in your hair...I can!! Adapt and OVERCOME!! I can't wait to see my lab #s later this month. I feel better than I have in many years!! One thing I had a hard time with was the lifetime of "you must eat 3 meals a day"....to "I don't need to eat till i am hungry, usually once a day now. Another thing I have noticed is that my fat is virtually gone!! I have extra skin as i got over 210# in the 90's after an injury, but the fat is gone!! I suggest to anyone I know with health issues that will listen to my story to look into this way of eating and maybe just try for 30 days, see what happens. You won't be sorry!! ✌❤🤩🙏

Have you tried Earthing (health benefits of Earthing) yet? and Borax it provides body with element and trace mineral Boron; and MSM (organic sulfur)? body needs it to repair joints and joint fluids and many diets lack this
When I started carnivore I was dealing with pain in my neck from an accident for 7 YEARS, pain in both shoulders for 9 months, pain in my right knee, left elbow and right big toe. ALL PAIN WAS GONE IN WEEK 2 OF CARNIVORE!!!! Carnivore is a magic pill.

@@babsphillips8583Sorry to hear. Are you better now ? 2 weeks after your post ? I had inflammation issues and went keto on March 1. Pains etc. remained for months. I asked dr. Fung when that inflammation would be expected to subside. He responded ‘probably around early November’. On November 1 it was gone….
@@babsphillips8583what are you eating?
@@joelbasist7935yep.. Its real..
About three weeks on keto and my knee pain nearly disappeared. I was shocked. A few weeks more and it was gone. The orthopedist's options were 1) steroid injections (no, please!) 2) injection of gel after a couple more years of pain (can't remember the name) 3) and eventually a knee replacement. I almost just believed him because I'd been very hard on my knees for decades and figured it was just the normal path. I started eating keto for an unrelated reason, not expecting my knee to benefit, so it wasn't a placebo effect of any sort. It just happened and now I'm starting to run again and do deep squats when 8 months ago I couldn't hike or walk 2-3 mph on a treadmill without a lot of pain and then swelling afterwards. Now my choices are eat steak and be active or eat bread and be a sofa toad. Easy choice, no ortho needed. I think orthos are doing us a disservice by not even suggesting that we can relieve pain with diet, in some cases.
They probably don't know, because they're taught surgery and drugs are the only options and they paid lots of money for that "education".
4 weeks on carnivore and my joint pain has reduced. Still early days...
That’s great Hanna!
How is it going?
Carnivore gives freedom from food, sugar addiction.
🙌🏼 absolutely 💯
Just want to say that I can vouch for this in reverse: I'm 56, 99% carnivore but ate cake yesterday because it was my dad's birthday, and woke up this morning with terrible elbow pain! I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to recede, but I've learned my lesson. No more indulging, it just ain't worth it!

Stage 4 hip osteoarthritis. Started carnivore 2 months ago, achieved full elimination of plants 2 weeks ago. Already, my pain is down to the point that I can shift some weight onto my more degenerated side and create some medial rotation of the femur.
How's the hip? Hoping it continued to improve because your situation sounds like mine. I need hope.
@@MorningInAmerica_Nov_5_2024 Some days better than others. I have fallen off with the carnivore way of eating unfortunately. Still meat based, but I fell back to coffee and dark chocolate, which has led to a spiral of poor discipline over the past 1-2 months. The pain was my excuse for “not being so hard on myself”. Lame excuse but I feel a bit stuck nonetheless.
@@TheBrucepix You can always go beck. l've had a hard time quitting coffee. All the other things were easy for me, but that coffee is kicking me in the butt! Hope the best for you.
@@ShardmareUV making a new attempt on coffee starting tomorrow.Been planning for a while.
Yup, 63 year old woman, I had bad pain in my hips and ankles and at times other joints. All went as soon as I went on a low carb high fat (including lots of meat) diet 🎉
When you say low carb, how many grams a day approximately? Or what percentage per day please. I’m trying this out but I went too low carb a t first and started having electrolyte imbalance, so I have increased the carbs but don’t want to stall my weight loss.
My legs have been bothering me for awhile. This year I put in a garden and it near killed me. I started Ketovore about a month ago, and have lost some weight. My knees still ache badly if I do much walking and my tendons are short so I shuffle. Sometimes I get restless leg syndrome at night with the odd foot cramp so physically, I still feel like an elderly old woman. Going to stick with ketovore for another month and then start cutting out heavy cream in my coffee, cheese on my eggs and no low carb veggies at all. See if that makes a difference.
Hello Wendy, I hope you are experiencing continued progress? Please update. I do believe strict carnivore is the best plan to see measurable results. Personally, I am giving myself a month to give up heavy whipping cream and coffee then plunge into the deep end come Jan 1. Carnivore is so uncomplicated but takes mental resolve also social commitments are looming to derail me. It is December and also my birth month so I will be as good as possible. Best of luck to you.
It will make a huge difference. The best to you. Don’t wait. Recovery is worth it.
100% carnivore is the only thing (other than drugs) that eliminates my joint pain. When ever I stray the pain comes back.
What's your typical day of eating look like?
Helps my asthma symptoms to the point I don't use inhalers unless I have a heavy cold or flu.
Cold or flu are just inflamattion and intoxication of carbs.. Are a big real lie..
That's good to know. l recently put my asthmatic cat on a carnivore diet, hoping for no more vet visits. So far so good. Hope the Carnivore diet helps to keep you from getting the cold or flu! 😁
Thank you!!! Just starting the Carnivore Diet. I hope to see a significant improvement in the osteoarthritis in my knee and weight loss. I've read so many testimonials on so many videos of people who were healed of arthritis problems and so many other disorders, that I thought, I have to try it! Just subscribed too.
🤞🏼
Did it help with your knee pain??
I'm dealing with same issues. Have you noticed any relief yet? Just curious. 😊
Keto 5yrs ketovore/ cornnivore 5 months OA knees 65 pounds down lots of fat loss knees are as diagnosed bone on bone still moving pain better than it was but I believe it is from the weight loss. But I do a lot of arthritis exercise every other day. To try to keep it moving. Dont know if I can improve my knees more but I feel better and I figured why not try it.
@@KetoMama777your knees can develop bew cartilege and lubrication, it just takes a year or more. Try stemcells from cerule. That would make the process go faster as the supplements help your none marrow produce healthy adult stemcells
Id love to be a study on the knees. 46 yrs young with dual degenerative osteoarthritic knees from a motorcycle Tbone🥩 accident 20 yrs ago. 6 months strict carnivore and the dual knee nerve pain is minimized but still crunchy and dry. Continuing meat/water only lifestyle to attempt regeneration.
Fascinating. I'm wondering if you still have the crunch or any further progress or learnings?
@@cornypinkuni9519 still crunchy but moving pain free
since I started Carnivore, my joints feel great. I have trained with weight since High school as a powerlifter, then I switched to what I call Power Bodybuilding. Basically heavy weight with high reps. Then I did Prowrestling for 15 years. Basically lots of pain, then 5 years ago tore my Meniscus. For 5 years nothing worked and pain, since I started Carnivore (about 8 weeks) pain mostly gone and the knee is getting better and the flexibility is coming back...
So cool to hear your story! Thanks for watching!

Are you eating just Meat or bone broth too? Thanks.
Yes I love it...I am eating meat, eggs, bacon and Butter. I use the butter and eat it as well. Love it and if you have any type of joint pain or an injury I suggest you try it. It will change your life.@@hermessangiovano
I suffered a knee injury on my bmx bike when I was about 21 that really called for surgery but I kept riding for years after and reinjured numerous times. By the time I was in my early 30s I limped significantly. This was around the time I started looking for long term solutions for my chronic pain and explored new diets. I eliminated sugar and refined carbohydrates and at a lot of meat and protein for the following years and got more exercise. My eating style has evolved to a less carnivorous diet but includes a lot of eggs and whole ingredients. I usually eat once a day and try to stay below a target of 20g or less of net carbs a day. I have a diet that focuses mainly on cooking with whole ingredients, avoiding seed oils, and eating as clean as possible. I experience very little pain anywhere in my body anymore and can effectively roller skate like someone in their 20’s and am in my mid 40s now. I believe a carnivorous diet can help shed off stagnant extra weight full of toxins that can lead to chronic pain but if I do experience aches I can often attribute it to eating something that probably wasn’t too clean. For example I avoid pork even though I enjoy it but pork isn’t really clean meat and I think it makes me feel like hell if I have any. Same with shrimp, crab, bottom feeders, etc. If I am eating things like salmon, tuna, grass fed beef I definitely feel much better. I believe personally all these factors make a difference. If you eat animals that eat 💩 or were poorly raised, it transfers to you and you feel like 💩. Closer to source is the goal for me.
Thank you for sharing your story Ben!
@@drbills1236The use of impede there could be a bit confusing for some people 👆. Avoiding them would do the opposite of impede.
Ah he mentioned LMNT. That's my FAVORITE and best electrolyte I've ever had.
I feel that even on the carnivore diet, magnesium and potassium should be supplemented, especially if you do sport.
For years my eating was based on meat and eggs, no processed food. Even went carnivore for a year, and bragged about how good I felt. Until… they discovered angina pectoris. Very tired and gassed with chest pains. That was a humbling experience. Back to eating fruits and vegetables again and feeling much better.
Did they put you on medication for that, and did they tell you the cause?
@@ShardmareUV considering my healthy no smoking, no drugs and no alcohol lifestyle, it must have been the diet. Was eating no sugar and processed foods, but a lot of meat and eggs. And yes, they wanted to put me statins, which I refused. Am taking red yeast rice though, since last week.

I've had hip and knee pain for years. I run a lot and after hard workouts or really long runs I would dread walking up or down stairs. It hurt so bad. I've been keto for 6 years but about a week into carnivore and my hip and knee are pain free! I couldn't believe it. I thought I was going to have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Guess not! :)
I'm back on carnivore after a couple of years and it's great. I remember when I still ate SAD I took MSM to try to help with my crippling plantar fasciitis. It went away after 2 days. Just putting it out their.
All my joint pain went away within a couple weeks of starting Carnivore.
Did you eat all kinds of meat ? Dairy ?
@@geertruivanbroekhoven7209 Yes. Kept dairy to a minimum but did not keep away entirely.
80 yrs Carnivore no joint pain female. Started with his 30 day challenge about 5 years was keto before that worried about muscle loss on that. Normal weight.
I eat mostly beef...fatty steaks, high fat ground beef, chicken thighs/legs, salmon, sardines, tons of eggs, bacon , sausage . Limited dairy and cheese. Watch Steak and Butter gal, Dr. Ken Berry here on you tube. Lots of butter keeps me satiated and losing weight. Reversed my T2D, lost 76 lbs over year. Zero pain and off all meds including high blood pressure.

I've been doing BJJ for about 7 years now and am thinking of trying this diet for the main purpose of fixing the joint pain I now carry because of jiu-jitsu.
Wondering if you decided to try it or found any notable results or challenges (if care to share)
@@cornypinkuni9519 i lost some weight and felt pretty good... but my family wasnt doing it with me and it got to be expensive so I went back to my normal diet.
I like that Baker does orthopedics and what he said about weight. I am very small with scoliosis and disc bulging on my spine in 4 places. Weight has nothing whatsoever to do with the pain for me and it was unbearable to say the least. Better now on carnivore when Nothing else touched the awful pain.
How long did it take for you to feel better? On carnivore 3 months , I have seen an increase in joint pain and back pain from spinal stenosis. I am hopeful, but everyone seems to be getting relief much sooner than 3 months
Thanks a ton. God bless you.
You’re welcome ☺️ thanks for watching.
Within just over two weeks pain is significantly reduced. Won’t be needing the injection
anytime soon. I cut the carbs and sugars significantly. Eating mostly meat , fish, and eggs.
Another wonderful hero 💞
Im 42 suffer from joint pain everywhere. 4 weeks into doing strict lion diet i hope it start to help soon!
Any better
How r u feeling?
I am so tempted to do this. I've had neck pain more than half of my life at this point (it started when I was 14/13 years old). I am tired of being in pain with nothing to help. I am cutting out dairy and going to eat fish, eggs, and meat.
Consider using sour cherry juice to help the arthritis. Worked for me before I discovered carnivore.
Great info! Thanks.🙏🏻
Chronically high insulin levels seem to be the root cause of bad health. From cancer, overweight and obesity, inflammation, diabetes etc. apparently you can have relatively good blood sugar and still have consistently high insulin levels. A Kraft test is how to know our body’s insulin sensitivity levels.
Can you buy that over the counter?
@@marnasletten3988 No, it’s a rather long test administered by a doctor where you come in fasted then you drink some sugar water and they measure your insulin response. Then you wait a couple more hours and they measure your insulin again then you drink some more sugar water then wait again and they measure your insulin response and level again. It’s probably the most accurate way to measure insulin sensitivity and or resistance there is.
@@baccaratfitness2360 thanks
@@baccaratfitness2360 what about homa-ir? Or is that the same thing?
@@SCW_Fitness Honestly, I had to look that up. Seems to be the same sort of test to measure insulin.
When I have pushed past sleep and I've focused on work tasks personal stuff I'll cramp no matter the diet. Usually be on a bit of a dry fast and mildly constipated. No problem if I actually eat sleep drink water with enough salt.
I think maybe I’m weird. Age 53, carnivore for 9 months, occasionally eat lasagna and pizza socially, then go back to carnivore next meal. Two meals a day, lost 50 lbs so far and about 20 lbs from goal weight of 195. Notice if I eat off diet sometimes, my teeth will sometimes hurt for an hour after eating (as if I have a sinus infection) and sometimes my knees will hurt. Perhaps I’m socially eating something that is causing a cascade of inflammation. I’m starting to get the message!
Always, L I S T E N To Your Body !
if I get off carnivore and eat some carbs once inawhile , I get the same sinus like congestion ,I guess it is all conected with bowels and problems will start
@@janapeony8561 I did find out last week that Lawrys seasoned salt triggers this tooth root pain within 20 minutes of eating the meat with that type of salt.

I take a couple Pickle Pills if I get cramps at night. Always use LMNT daily.
I get cramps in my feet and lower legs while trying to sleep. I get that a lot and even when I don't cramp, I feel like I'm on the verge of cramping. I take magnesium and use potassium chloride and real salt on my food.
I had this at about 6 months into carnivore. You could be dehydrated, especially if you drink coffee or alcohol. Another possibility is you’re not eating enough (this was the case for me as I’m very active).
When I first started the carnivore diet I used to get the same kind of cramping. I would sleep with a bag of salt next to my bed and eat some when I felt the cramping coming on. UGH. After about 6 mo. on the diet the cramping stopped. I don't have any more issues. Hope this helps. Those cramps are awful.
As your body dumps fluids from inflammation it uses the magnesium and other body salts/ minerals as binders as it releases oxalates etc. Keto Chow daily minerals plus ample amounts of Redmonds is essential as the chemistry of the body normalizes and reorganizes nutrients. Egg yolks also provide essential nutrients. I don't care for beef liver but I sure like chicken livers and pate. I eat Nori with pate. People just can't be metabolically dysfunctional and not also be malnutritioned.
The answer seems to be boron.
There's a video by Dr. Suresh Khirwadkar called "30 Day Rib-eye Challenge" where he talks about getting terrible leg cramps during his 30 challenge and narrows it down to a boron deficiency, and then cures the problem with boron.
If you decide to watch the video (it's a long one) speed it up x1.5 because he does a lot of pausing and teasing for no reason.
Look into oxalate dumping
What about never having joint pain UNTIL starting lion? I've been on carnivore / ketovore off an on for 5+ years. Day 3 of strict Lion I developed weird tingling in my legs and super sore hip joints bilaterally. ... to the point that it woke me up during the night and I couldn't get comfortable... thoughts? Oh and I just gave up coffee too when starting this Lion thing... Coffee has been a part of my daily life for DECADES.
It’s likely caffeine withdrawal.
I’m in a ton of pain.. AS.. lupus.. and mast cell. Every joint. I hope carnivore helps me. So far I’m really inflamed. I wonder if it will get better. I’ve been keto.. nearly carnivore for the past few weeks.
Sorry to hear about your pain. Hoping this makes some kind of difference for you!
I did Keto for about a year. I lost weight and reduced some pain. As of August 1st I started the Beef, Butter, Bacon and egg elimination diet. (See Dr Ken Berry on you tube) Within three weeks all my pains were gone and I started getting dizzy. I checked my blood pressure and it was 94 over 62.Within two weeks my doctor weened me off my blood pressure meds that I had been on for 18 years. After 75 day I went to just carnivore and now my glucose falls in the 80's to 100 in the mornings and I am no longer pre-diabetic. My husband says I no longer snore and my acid reflux is gone. I am down 78 lbs since January and at 61 feeling better than I have in the last 20 years. It has changed my life. Hope you have good results. PS: I will not lie, I had three months of loose stools but I blame this on how insulin resistant I was. All that inflammation has to exit somehow. Anyway it finally resolved. Hang in there if you have similar issues.

I'm a former triathlete who spent several years over training. At 58 now, I had been experiencing knee pain for several months. I've been worried about going into my retirement years with chronic knee pain. I started carnivore a couple of months ago, not even knowing that it could help joint pain. But I suddenly realized I had not complained to my husband about knee pain in awhile, nor had I had knee pain during the night when sleeping in certain positions as I had in the past. I keep questioning it and thinking about, could it be true? Is my knee pain really gone? Seems so! I can't believe it.
Here’s hoping!

Help! I am Chilean and have had a hard time booking for a consultation. I have Raynaud, and therefore Rheumatoid arthrosis, extremely swollen hands, and fingers that turn very white and numb when it is old. I will begin the lion diet. I am 70 years old. I weigh 50 kilos, so perhaps I will become extremely thin as time goes by. I don't care. I want to reverse this Raynaud autoimmune condition! I can't play the guitar anymore but would love to continue playing the piano. Question: Can I drink coffee (black) while following the Lion Diet?
That’s a great question. I’ve been on carnivore for over 3 months and the one thing I cannot quit is my coffee with a little splash of heavy whipping cream and a drop of stevia. I feel like if I could give it up,I’d be ahead of the game!

It wont help the cartilage grow back but it’s possible that the pain could be reduced.
@Mecca Sorry to hear, not fun. I've found that traction helps manage the pain, and I also use a massage gun. Hope this helps you!
I've heard that you can not grow back cartilage. But I've heard you can but it's a long process. I think that if you are eating the proper human diet taking the right supplements and doing the right arthritis exercises you can keep what you have if not slightly improve it. Good luck do pray for your healing.

@@Christinesobsevations wow, losing weight with carnivore? Are you adding fermented foods? Sorry to hear of your challenges, hang in there!

Is it safe to drink one cup of coffee with cream or does it need to be only water, thanx!!!
I have been on the Carnivore diet for 5 months with noticeable weight loss and body adjustments.
I primarily consume beef, Butter, Ghee, bacon, eggs, chicken, sour cream, cheese. My starting weight was 328lbs and has moved to 311lbs.
Many nagging aches and pains have vanished, I breath easier, and my mind is clearing up. I'm still sedentary for the most part but soon will be going for walks. Four years ago, I almost broke my left leg shinbone but tore loose the tendons and cartilage in the left knee and the ankle.
Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing cramps in my calf muscles and my feet tendons that dissipated but the last two days the ankle & tendons ( left side of Achilles Tendon) on that left foot is being real mean to me forcing me to limp some to avoid pain. Btw, I had some gout issues but a sometime back and a Holistic practitioner advised me to use celery seed and Tart cherry extract capsules and it was gone in under 48 hrs.
After all this above, any opinions or recommended additions or changes you may have please.
Thank you.
I mix together magnesium powder,potassium and salt in water before bed. No cramps.
l would dump the sour cream, and cheese. Try for more beef and maybe some salt for cramps. Don't forget to drink your water. Also, stay off the scale. Good luck on your journey! ♥

Can oxalate dumping last for weeks ? I have a skin rash on my neck and face and dry patches
Possibly not sure how long it can last. Some people report it can take a month or two to clear symptoms. It’s important to stick with just meat and water for a while and treat it as an elimination diet.
Look up Sally Norton about oxalate dumping problems. She recommends a tailored approach to removing oxalate foods. Going more gradually if you’re having trouble. Maybe you don’t want to add plants back in, but she says even a strong cup of tea could be enough to calm your body down so it’s not dumping oxalate stores so rapidly. Good luck!
10 days in, and no change to my morning bilateral knuckle pain/stiffness. How long does it take?
Look at excess carb in horse and Pete Rameys work with Auburn University.
I get a lot of pain from red meat and salt. I love meat but I get more pain from it. I have COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME. But rheumatoroid artheiris people also get pain from meat and salt.
Are eggs part of the carnivore diet?
Yes they are 👍🏻
Steak 🥩 and eggs 🍳 is one of my favorite meals 😁
I eat around 30 chicken eggs and 15 duck eggs per week.
Last labs were outstanding.
I’ve got more joint pain since going carnivore 30 day. Sleeping is in the toilet. Any ideas out there ❤
Did you eliminate everything besides meat? I was carnivore for 21months and I noticed pain was dependent on how much cheese/cream/egg whites I’d eaten. So I quit them. I’m two weeks in and I’m blown away. Pain is gone and joints feel more stable.
all these success stories I don’t carnivore for a few months, had no relief in my hip pain and knee pain sadly :/ tried everything
Honestly, i'm doing the carnivore diet for about a week now and half way through I got pretty bad lower back and knee pain. Not sure why that is
My arthritis pain is now worse since becoming a strict carnivore 2 months ago.
What do you consider strict carnivore? No coffee, alcohol, fruit? If you’re eating just meat and only drinking water then you are being a strict carnivore. Is that what you’re doing?
As an example even one cookie in the morning can affect your results.
Can a person maintain weight on a carnivore diet? Like my husband and I don't need to lose weight, but we are looking into carnivore for pain. Thank you.
@lindalu8565 absolutely! I Have a number of friends who have been doing carnivore for over 2 years now that were not overweight and are maintaining their weight.
