Thank YOU for having the guts to speak out about your experience. I'm sure that you are helping many people who are getting desperate for a solution to chronic problems. My son had chrones disease so bad that he needed emergency surgery, which took most of his small intestine. He, his wife and kids have gone carnivore and doing great now! Thanks again for speaking out. Dave from Lakeville, MN
@davegreene1198 Im sorry for all that your son , & your pain as his father, have endured! Thank you for sharing it, because I have several friends suffering, each are incredulous that carnivore can heal them. I'll add your testimony to the growing list!
I disagree. The more expensive cuts of meat have never been compared to regular cuts of meat in any studies. I personally, cannot stand the taste of grass fed beef, because it's tough and chewy as it is lacking in the fats. But, you can compare a ribeye steak with another type of fatty steak and they are both equivalent in health results. As long as you are getting enough fat in your diet, along with beef, the more expensive cuts are unnecessary in the overall health that a meat eating diet provides. And when you eat extremely lean pieces of meat, like round sirloin or grass fed ground beef, you are lacking in the fats, and you need to supplement fats from other pieces of meat so the price of grass fed beef is wasted because it's not as healthy without fat.
Any fat cuts in nature aside extreme latitudes? I’ve found the fat content is not as important as made out. The fat is simply to obtain the fat soluble vitamins and gal activity. Really don’t need that much fat as can be seen in wild animals at vast majority of latitudes.
I too have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Since going on carnivore, Ican't say it's gone, but it's better. Less pain, less symptoms. Also totally reversed type 2 diabetes. It's amazing what simply cutting all the carbs can do to heal so many chronic ailments.
I have EDS too...along with fibro and a number of other things. You just get sick and tired of being sick and tired and HAVE to do something different. Struggling, but working towards Carnivore because I have experienced enough relief to know it's going to work. Keep on keepin on my friends!!
Thank you for your testimony I am 86yrs old and I have been on Carnivor life myname is Roy Carter knowtest the difference It's been 20 days already love it feeling better Happy Days ahead God has blessed me😂❤😊
My sister struggles with lupus, type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, possibly celiac disease, and stone face disease. I'm trying to get her to do this for her health. I just want her to feel better. 😢
I remember my sister telling me that she isn't going to drink milk anymore. I was shocked, scared for her and thought she was crazy. We are so conditioned to think we have to eat/drink the way we are told. I hope your sister comes around. I now think I was crazy to have allowed myself to become so conditioned to this mindset. Diet changes has been a game changer for me too.
From a traditional Chinese medical perspective, chronic emotional stress depletes our adrenal chi which puts us in a really weakened, very yin state. Animal food is yang and strengthening, sugar, flour, starches, processed foods are very yin and depleting. Eventually when the energy imbalances are normalized, one can move toward more plants again. Experiment, see what works. Also emotional healing is very important because that's the first cause of all illness. Peace!
ME TOO! I am hypermobile ,but don't qualify for EDS yet. University of Medicine South Carolina has identified the culprit gene for the 13 th category of EDS. Testing may be available in a year or so. I have Sjogren's (congenital). I was born with my feet in complete circles and had full leg casts the first 6 months of life. I have had many freak infections and autoimmune. I am intolerant/allergic of wheat, cow's milk, soy and Sucrose Intolerant. I have either been super healthy and super strong or a blown-up blob wasting and undiagnosable hot mess. I also had a diagnosis of Crohn's but later retracted and considered IBS with food intolerances. The strong times ( super healthy energetic muscle strength) were very limited diets aka almost carnivore . I have searched and researched endlessly. I chose to purposely start carnivore July 4, 2023. It is my miracle. Shout it out!! The reversal of years and resurgence of health and strength is truly miraculous! God Bless
My father and my grandmother both died from complications around immune disorders. It makes me cry when I realize how simple it could have been to help them with their conditions (I never knew my grandmother) had we known about this 25 years ago even when my father died at 56. I am now 58. He didn't eat a poor diet but it was undoubtedly higher in things he couldn't tolerate and lower in foods that should have healed him. I would say seed oils and wheat being the bad and animal foods being the good.
Sorry to hear your story. I lost both my parents when I was young and they followed a low fat, no red meat diet. My mum was really into the grains and skim milk. She got colon cancer. I wish I knew then what I know now. I agree, seed oils and wheat are not good
Finding this video was a bit of a relief for me. I have Elhers Danlos, fibromyalgia, continuous chronic pain, arthritis, MCAS, migraines, Lyme, stage 4 endometriosis, and the list goes on. After 18 months carnivore, I wasn't seeing any improvements. I was eating cheese, cream, eggs, mostly beef, but also other meats, along with butter and tallow. It was frustrating to see people commenting that magically after 3 weeks all their pain had disappeared when after a year and a half I was still struggling with everything. I'm thinking now that I need to go pure beef and tallow. I've been doing so for 2 months now and it felt reassuring to hear Rachel went 8 mos on just beef before feeling like she'd attained healing. I was starting to feel really hopeless, but now my hope has been renewed, and that is no small thing. I am also severely underweight so I will also increase the number of meals I'm having. Thank you so much for this Ray of Hope
Have you looked into oxalate dumping? Very interesting. Look up Sally Norton, incase it's something that could apply to why you haven't felt improvements yet. Good luck!
Have you looked into a spinal CSF leak? I have all of the disorders you listed, less Lyme disease, and also Chiari and a bunch more. As it turns out, I've been suffering for 18 years due to misdiagnosed conditions that were caused by the CSF leaks. Hopefully this helps! If you need some guidance, I have a couple of videos on it and I'm documenting my process. You can also comment on a video with any questions you may have. Have a great day! 😊
I just found in some personal research recently that carnivores can get very adequate amounts of vitamin C if consuming organ meats in addition to muscle meats. Animal organs are (surprisingly) very high in vitamin C! That explains how our ancestors did well on meat without adding supplementation or vitamin C containing plants; they ate the entire animal tip to tail.
It's still not always enough for some people. I ate organ meats but still developed signs of vit C deficiency like bleeding gums and bruising. It resolved after adding lemon juice to my water. People battling certain conditions and that have gastrointestinal issues can have a higher need for vit C. Elliot Overton on EONutrition has very informative videos about this. Too much vit C isn't good either though bcs the excess turns into oxalates.
Chicken liver is the only good vitamin c source, as in high vitamin c, but your vit c requirements are much lower if you're not consuming high carbohydrates.
Loved her story and excellent out come. In 2005, I was shot multiple times in Iraq. I had damage to the femoral artery, femoral vein, profunda femoral artery and seven other places in my body. I had six damaged nerves. I was on lots of medications, for 15 years. I had a doctor's appointment in August 2023. My doctor was shocked because I took myself off all medications, including the pain meds. The chronic pain and hundreds of electrical daily shocks had stopped. Thanks to the low carb diet. On March 4th I had two minor strokes. Spent one day and one night in the hospital. Now I trying two things. One is a very low carb diet. The second is, I am learning several new things every day, mainly medical, science and Ham radio topics, so I can make different/new connections in the brain. I am really curious as to how this will turn out.
Rachel along with Mary Ruddick story will absolutely inspire anyone with chronic illness. Thank you Rachel for always being willing to share. I know you are making a difference in so many lives. Enjoy your climbs ❤️
Oh. My. God. Is it possible that someone with EDS has been able to put their condition into remission...with a carnivore diet?! I never thought this could actually happen for EDS as well, it is one of the worst conditions out there. Carnivore diet is trully a miracle way of solving literally anything! Thank you So Much for having Rach on tell her story, this is incredibly important to get out there into the world. Love her and her unwavering spirit, good for you Rach! ❤
Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, I was on the severe spectrum with EDS and 2.5 years later, I don't believe I even meet the criteria anymore. Not many with EDS are sharing about carnivore online, so that's why I really feel a pull to share a message of hope to those people. I know how difficult it is to live with severe illness. And there is so much hope for healing. Just because a doctor says an illness is incurable and lifelong doesn't mean they're right. P.S. I actually know people with worse EDS than I had that are healing with carnivore / animal-based and brain retraining. ❤I'm astounded by the amount of people that have messaged me and would love to create a library of stories of healing from EDS. The more sharing, the better!
@@RibeyeRachYour story is VERY inspiring. I'm so glad I watched this interview. I have two friends, both skin and bone, one vegan and sometimes vegetarian, the other an animal food eater. I'm going to ask them both if they'd consider going carnivore. I'm vegan, haven't always been. It works for me. I love the idea that we're all different, have different requirements and not being dogmatic.❤
Also former eds and another 'genetic' ailment. Did vegan/vegetarian for years and got IBS and untreatable sibo for my efforts. Also got quite a bit worse health wise. Many more diagnosis later and i was at the desperate for any help stage. Ran into carnivore as i had started intermittent fasting and was seriously considering keto for my liver health. Started carnivore not much later and my life is completely different. No more resting for 2 hrs or more after 10 mins of work. No more persistent nausea or migraines. No more IBS or sibo symptoms. Eds and the other genetic ailment are also non-symptomatic and i no longer take meds for the 2nd. Meat heals is a corny catchphrase but it is not wrong 🥩🍽️
Thank you for this! I agree totally about some of us needing more vitamin C than can be gotten from meat and animal fat. I've been strict carnivore for going-on-five years. In the past six months, I've been supplementing vitamin C for many of the same reasons Rachel said motivated her to focus on getting more of this essential nutrient. It's made a world of difference for my 66.5-year-old body. Anyway, I really liked this interview. Thank you!
@evakuhlbornefelt34 improvement of histamine intolerance, resolution of bleeding/bruising issues, improved mood and energy, skin healthier, less joint pain.
@@CoachStephenI should say first that I am not a carnivore, but that I follow people discussing this lifestyle because I agree with it. I have always thought about the vitamin C question. Many carnivores don't supplement and do just fine. Then I saw a comment that said that meat (probably referring to red meat but not 100% sure) contains DHA which is oxidized vitamin C, it's not measured in meat (not sure why not) but that DHA is a more accesible/absorbable form of vitamin C and therefore fresh meat should be sufficient to give us the vitamin C we need. I am personally not opposed to consuming more vitamin C but personally would prefer to do it through food than supplements so fresh fruit, citrus, saurkraut even. Vitamin C is more essential for joint, hair, skin, nail health than it is part of the immune system in my humble opinion. My father had a debilitating immune disorder which saw him to an early grave from heart disease in his mid 50s. My grandmother the same, so there is obviously either a dietary issue or genetic or a connection between the two. I do believe the right diet can fix or prevent these issues.
I find that adding milk(it has vit c) is enough for me, not just as a vit c source but also the minerals etc. Regular milk is what I can afford and what's available in my area but someday I want to have a farm and try raw dairy.
Love this ❤ i have hEDS but its mostly affected my spine. Ive noticed a huge reduction in my overall joint pain just in 2 months of being (relaxed) carnivore.
I am very excited to hear your story Rachael. Not only the value of carnivore, but visualization. I'm a Christian and the battlefield is the mind. Faith is imperative. I was very excited to hear a non Christian agree!
I'm also happy she brought up that some people might require a bit more vit C than others bcs it certainly is often "brushed away", as you said, in the carnivore community. I've been heckled and accused of "not doing it right" for just mentioning that I developed signs of vit C deficiency a couple of months into carnivore. What people need to understand is that it IS possible for most people to get enough vit C on carnivore BUT that doesn't mean that some people don't need a bit more though! This can be bcs of serious digestive damage or conditions that requires a bit higher need for vit C. When I reintroduced lemon juice to my water my bleeding gums stopped. Taking high doses of supplemental vit C isn't a good idea either though bcs the excess turns into oxalates. Best to get it from a food source, if possible. And no, the vit C in organ meats wasn't enough for me atleast. Also, if I could afford to eat like Dr Chaffe or Dr Baker (big fresh steaks that's rare inside) I might not have needed the lemon juice. But I live on disability and I buy mostly ground beef on sale and I have to freeze it. So first, the meat is aged for a couple of weeks before it comes to the store and that degrades the vit C. Then I freeze it and that degrades it further. Then I cook it ofc and I'd be very surprised if there were just any vit C left by that time. I was concerned about this before starting carnivore and I asked a couple of well known carnivores about this, describing my situation, and they assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Imagine my surprise when my gums started to bleed and I noticed bruises on my body...I'm meticulous with my oral health and I have never had issues with bleeding gums previously. And when it went away after reintroducing lemon juice (bcs increasing organ meats, as suggested by some, didn't help) it went away. But as I said, whenever I have brought this up in comment sections or fb groups I've been met with rather rude comments. I can't for the life of me understand WHY this is such a sensitive topic for some.😅 Why is it so difficult to understand that some people might have different needs bcs of different circumstances? It's not bcs there is something wrong with the carnivore diet in it self! I have to point out to anyone reading this that the attitudes I've met regarding vit C has NEVER happened on this channel though! That's why I like Stephen (and Richard) so much bcs they are not dogmatic and they understand that there are nuances to this.☺️🪷
@cammieklund - I agree with you that some, possibly a lot of people, require more Vitamin C,D etc because most people that feel the need to go on such restrictive diets do so mainly due to digestive issues. And most digestive issues result in the inability to absorb adequate amounts of certain nutrients. I’ve been battling chronic gum issues and bruising too and have been intuitively thinking about vitamin C as well throughout carnivore.
I'm vegan, 77, doing fine. But .... I do agree, it's not good to be dogmatic about 'our way'! I've certainly had a LOT of rudeness from others, meat eaters, especially going back in years. I wasn't always vegan either. As a child and a young woman, I was an ardent meat and dairy lover. It was due to health issues, and 'listening' to my body that led me eventually to being firstly vegetarian and then primarily vegan, although I've always said I'll never give up my butter!! 😊 It was great listening to Rachel, and reading your comments. I have two lovely friends, one living two minutes walk from here, and the other in the previous town where I lived. They are both just skin and bone, terrible for them. One is basically vegan, the other one is the opposite. I've just decided that I'm going to ask them both if they'd consider looking into trying carnivore. I think there's numerous things that contribute to the incredibly wide variety of 'illnesses' attacking people, from babies to little children, teens and into adults. Lifestyle is definitely a strong contributing factor. I also think the medical industry has a lot to answer for. Too many immunisations, very much including the cvd injection. I could go on a lot more. I also think having no belief in God and prayer has brought a terrible downfall for humanity. Anyway, I certainly wish all the best for you. I'll health is/can be an seemingly unbearable journey that isn't of our choosing, but we have to bear it. You, Rachel, and many others, including myself, find our way to answers, different success stories!💞🌷💞
I ve watched a few of these videos of seriously chronically ill people now and you go wow , that s great, but really, it is quite amazing, astonishing really.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm f, 65. Have had neurological issues all my adult life: panic attacks, twitches, trouble speaking, as well as other issues. Rachel is such an inspiration! I'm so thankful she is well, and that she is sharing her story! She gives all of us hope.
Rachael's story is one of the stories that tipped me into trying carnivore, and came up when I was looking for people with EDS who'd tried it. Thank you for sharing, Rachael; it's made such a huge difference for me, and I imagine many others.
Me and my wife are on day 19, We just started to documenting our journey. Both of us are hoping for healing of different things. Amazing story! Congratulations on finding healing for yourself!
Well done for starting together that will most likely make you keep going, and please update the people about your progress, write it down or post it on your socials platforms. Well done 👍
I am brand new to carnivore diet. I am listening to all these interviews and just want to thank you so much for your work on this subject. I just started the diet ...easing into it, hoping to heal some mysterious medical changes I've experienced over the past 9 months. Thank you.
Although Rachel was not the one who triggered me to start the carnivore diet, I did ❤watch her throughout her journey, as my journey is a lot the same of hers as far as symptoms go, although I was never diagnosed properly, but I had chronic fatigue and chronic migraines chronic pain I was almost bedbound for two years within 14 months carnivore diet, completely healed me and I am back to work. I am back to living a normal healthy life and I’m off all my medication. Praise God.
This is an amazing story of healing through food. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope. - Have you heard of anybody healed, or much improved, from M.E/Cfs? It's a horribly debilitating illness, and there is no real medical help to be found. I've had this illness for 20 years, and it's left me near bed bound. I can't cook, nor drive a car. I've often felt like a ninety year old at the end of the road... Totally depleted batteries. Jumping on Carnivore with hope of improving as much as possible - long term.
There’s so much hope for healing ME/CFS. I met the diagnostic criteria with severe PEM but was never evaluated. Now don’t have any crashes ❤ I’ve encountered probably hundreds of people who have recovered from ME. I’d highly recommend looking into brain retraining as well as a carnivore / animal-based diet. ME is a huge sign of having a dysfunctional nervous system stuck in “fight or flight”. Hoping all the best for you!!
@@RibeyeRach Thanks for your kind reply. In my twenty years of illness, and contact with this patient group, I haven't met even ONE who has been correctly diagnosed with ME/Cfs, that has recovered significantly. And there are thousands of us here in Sweden. So whenever I hear claims of 'hundreds recovering', I can't help getting sceptical. - I don't believe in 'brain training', since the illness isn't in the mind, but is multi systemic. - Therefore, I think Carnivore is probably one of the best ways of eating for something like this. And I will keep on doing it as strict as possible, for as long as it takes to see improvement.
Medical medium. EONutrition. Dr. Berg. Watch videos from these people. Try DNRS or Gupta program Progress through B1, B6, B5, gpc choline, Thiamine in the form of benfotiamine, thiamax, thiamine hcl, or ttfd with magnesium taurate, nac, vagus nerve supplements, butryate, guthathione, magnesium glyinate, celtic sea salt or electrolytes, fermented wheatgeam extract, fermented and gluten free, organ meat supplements. Be careful with supplement that are cheap and with bad ingredients. You'll definitely get out of that bed, your POTS and dizziness will lessen. Great advice....please eat meat ❤. B1 in ttfd for fatigue and b6 for pain game changers
Such an inspiring lady. Thank you for sharing. So much resonates of being in a state of feeling like you’re dying day after day. Carnivore/ketovore has been one of the final pieces of the jigsaw healing myself. Boy has it been a journey. Blessings to you Rachel ❤
Wonderful Rachel ❤. When you speak about the reasons of your worsening health, I think you forgot that on top of your stress and poor diet, yoi were subjected to many medications, the first lot already affected other areas of your health and it just was going down the more meds they were giving you.... Its absolutely heart-lifting to see you climbing and being fit sfter only 1.5 years on a proper human diet ❤❤❤❤❤
I am diagnosed with most of what RibeyeRach said, and I feel much better on a carnivore diet, though I do need some carbs, & fruits. I have found the diet that works for me & am making remarkable progess, in my 70s. Dyssutonomia completely resolved & rebuilding from the deconditioning caused by bedrest.
So glad I watched... my nervous system has always been a wreck. Going from vegetarian to carnivore has improved my life but has not helped my BP go down (note: I have never been over weight in my life; no smoking; no drinking). I know my nervous system is the key - stuck in "fight or flight". Just have to keep learning and applying all this wonderful "anecdotal" knowledge that has helped my health far more than any doctor did or ever could.
If everyone whom has given carnivore lifestyle a honest chance for at least a month and then listed how many so called chronic ailments have gotten better, or totally disappeared on this video comment section, I honestly think that the comment section would run out of free space . It’s that miraculous. Fact. It’s so unbelievably healing that it should damn near be a mandatory dietary protocol enforced by the health insurance industry.
Mine got worse. IDK my body just doesn't accept meat with it constantly vomiting. I've tried so hard multiple times. A week in I developed sibo n would vom on occasion. I'm glad this works for others but I've found no success. Not against others who have but not for be
@@nikki10114 List out here what you eat and drink every day for a week. List out every single drop and every bit of ingredient that goes into your mouth. Also, if you can, tell us what is the source of the meat, butter, eggs, fats, etc. Someone should be able to spot some possible mistakes you may be making.
Awesome testimony to the power of healthy eating! My daughter has been struggling with first asthma as a young child, then an unexplained neurological condition at 10 which she has been able to largely overcome with the keto diet. She is now 18 and about to start her junior year in college…living life to the fullest. Thank you for posting this great video! ❤️
Wow! Thats the greatest come back ive ever seen ! I watch several channels on carnivore i have no idea how ive never heard of her story or your channel! New sub! Ty so much! ❤
Rachel is inspiring and amazing. I think she said something so important and that is, many people are like a "ticking time-bomb". That seems so true!! Great interview.
Wow! I feel so guilty after listening to her story because I feel that MY health issues are so vain in comparison - Hashimoto’s thyroid issues resulting in skin rashes, digestive issues, brain fog, stubborn weight, gum recession and tooth sensitivity, weakness and especially hair loss.
@@CoachStephenThanks for that 😊 I know that everyone deserves their optimal best health regardless of the degree or severity of whatever health issues they have.
Amazing story. Its great that with social media, people get to share there stories out and give belief to others suffering and the truth in that diet is the most important thing. Most medicine just helps us with symptoms has tonnes of potential side effects and is detrimental to our health. There are certain situations such as antibiotics stopping an infection and pain killers etc helping. But its great to see the healing effects of a good diet.😢
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Severe fatigue, almost blind and I couldn’t even walk my front path. I discovered Dr Ken Berry and Sally K Norton. Within weeks I had turned a corner and over a year improved massively. My eyesight is normal again. I have now had nearly a year of carnivore/keto diet and this is my new way of living. My MG is under control and I still take my meds.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I would be honoured if you could be interviewed about this for the channel. If you are interested then email me at zerocarbcoach@gmail.com
Hi coach Steven I'm in ireland so it's great to hear from someone here in british Isles as veggies etc can sound different to those in US. WEĹLDONE RIBEYE RACHEL. Amazing story. I have ms so just started paleo keto gradually to get into it. Have you testimonials of people with ms doing carnivore please. My first time on your channel subscribed
I have seen many helped with MS. One I remember is Emily Penton look her up. It’s worth trying. Go for it start slow get rid of sugars processed foods and lower carbs will help add more meat and FAT
I can't even begin to fathom going back to eating any other way. We aren't strict carnivore, we are carnivore-ish as it works for our whole family. But no grains, gluten, ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, etc. Fully wholefood very meat heavy. My hubby is a type1 diabetic. I lived in chronic dibilitating pain that had me using a cane by age 23 and sometimes not being able to move. So thankful to have found this way.
Wow! very inspiring. I did come across some info from Dave Asprey indicating ozone therapy is a great way deal with Lyme disease, but also a great thought that carnivore (and avoiding the rubbish we have been told is so good for us) ultimately ensures our bodies can deal with pretty much anything.
Speaking about what disrupts your immune sys. Its the thing theyve been pushing the last 2 years, seeing horrendis crap happening after the u know what prik
This is the first time I have found this site and have found it to be very interesting and joined for more knowledge. I wonder if carbs make you more likely to get Lyme! Also can’t believe Stephen is 60 years old! Lots of wisdom in 60 years!( that is lots of experiences to learn 😊
Wow! This story is incredible and I bet she is grateful every day that she discovered the carnivore way of life ❤❤ I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I’m really impressed. I’ve subscribed 👍🏼
I'm so, so sick. I'm diagnosed with an incurable disease causing weakness due to dysfunction of the neuromuscular junction, permanently destroyed adrenal glands with severe adrenal insufficiency and now 100% steroid dependent from decades of chronic prednisone, Hashimoto autoimmune thyroiditis with multinodular goiter with no normal thyroid tissue left its just solid nodules, bilateral hips avascular necrosis, obesity, chronic hypokalemia, hyperaldosterinism, severely immunocompromised with 3 bouts of septicemia that almost killed me, genetic clotting disorder with hx of PE and dvt, widespread muscle pain and back pain, diverticulitis/diverticulosis, and more. I started noticing weakness in my early 30s, but it likely started in my mid 20's. I'm 64 now. 😔 I refused hospice/palliative care because I'm not actually going to die within months, imho. But, how was Rachel able to eat only meat while so sick. I don't know how I could do it. I do want to try it though, because I want to live. Maybe there's a way to ease into it? I'm going to watch the rest of the video now -- maybe she'll address this in the video.
Yes, you can ease into it through keto/low carb. But pasture raised eggs and grass fed butter and beef are healing and pretty well tolerated even when you're transitioning into a more animal based diet. With your challenges, you probably shouldn't try abrupt carnivore (the temporary side effects can be uncomfortable). But start by removing all sugar and grains, lower other carbs as well as oxylate plant sources (spinach, almonds, etc), and add more fat and meat. Very best wishes to you!
So you can't tell that these folks pushing eating animal carcasses are all vicious liars???? I have to admit, although I primarily like to be a bible basher because it's so important, this new carcass thing is like a new train wreck that has a ton of people apparently falling for it. The reason why the Japanese eat wasabi and ginger with their raw sushi is because it helps counter the bacteria that inevitably is consumed with the rotting fish. These carcass nutties are trying to tell people that the original diet of humans going back to before the discovery of fire and cooking, even though we don't have the teeth or digestive system for it, even though animal asses aren't appetizing in the least, even though once they are slaughtered, they rot very quickly, etc etc etc, they still tell us that eating a raw cow's ass is both healthy and normal. LOL, I'm just using that as an example to show how freakin' easy their argument falls apart - everyone with half a brain cell knows if you eat raw animal carcasses, you will end up with parasites eventually. BTW, I'm not saying I can help heal you - I'm just pointing out these people are frauds and you're way way way way way way way better off listening to a real doctor. Look at Dr. Morse and compare the HUGE difference between these fake doctors on y/t and his approach. He actually has patients and heals them. These frauds use perfectly healthy people as evidence that their approach works, in addition to their usual fraudulent, tobacco science data. You can make data do anything you want it to. In the bigger picture, of course, once you understand that the people running the money institution are primarily interested in population control, their fake money chases people's weaknesses and tries to make them weaker. It pains me to have to explain this to people, it really does, I figured out all of this stuff in my early 30's.
Amazingly encouraging story and not heard of this woman before but I’m going to introduce her to my daughter who has had a lifetime of mystery illnesses including low energy but what I’m also amazed about is how young Stephen looks… how old is he?!
Great interview. Her conclusion is similar to what I have come to believe. I have added vitamin c, selenium, magnesium, and iodine in my diet. I have severe nerve damage, arthritis, and neurological problems that the supplements have been key to helping me continue to heal. It’s not an easy journey but there’s such a difference in my body when I can stay on track.
I agree, it's totally crazy. I also get around 1 comment a day claiming all my success stories are BS in some way. People just don't want to believe they've been duped.
I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme in 2017; at that point I'd had symptoms for 20+ years. Been carnivore since 1/26/24 and watching a lot of videos about anything that might pertain to health and diet. This is *by far* the best I've seen with regard to the mental side of battling a disease. I'd be interested in learning where Rachel learned her visualization technique(s). All attempts for me have ended in failure. BTW, first time I've watched any of your videos and you could've knocked me over with a feather when you said your age!!
@RibeyeRach you mentioned that you have come across a number of individuals with various CHRONIC health conditions that have done the carnivore diet. I have a rare Motor Neuron Disease called Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) which is similar to ALS. I went from a super fit and healthy female to being unable to walk or talk in a couple of years. I am wondering if you or @CoachStephen or anyone else, have come across anyone with either PLS or ALS who has tried the carnivore diet and have managed to reverse their symptoms?
FYI I have been on the carnivore diet for 7 months now and plan to continue but I was hoping to hear about the experiences of other people who have MND that are similar to mine, who have found that the carnivore diet has helped improved their symptoms.
Yes I've heard of a couple of people where it's helped but both were very private people and did not want to be so public and be interviewed. Which I respect
Why are u waiting for some else results? Why don’t u start carnivore maybe u are going to be the first one to get well and be and inspiration to others like yourself
Give carnivore a go. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Started keto and disease doubled. Moved over to carnivore and in 1 yr doctors were like disease almost gone -so try it
Yes, Rachael, Vitamin C is important in knitting muscle tissue together. I learned this after three C-sections and trying for a natural birth with the fourth. I read so many books during that pregnancy and have changed my whole attitude at that point in my life. I've had five natural home births after that , But,...the Vit C supplementation was the start of realizing I may be deficient in some things. Years later, I discovered the Keto and then last year the carnivore lifestyle.
Great comment. Of course vitamin C is in animal products and you need less than the 'RDA' as it's not in competition with dietary carbohydrates for receptor sites. Thanks for commenting
Whether it’s preachers subverting biblical truth and preaching lies, or doctors rejecting reality for the money that comes with preaching lies, they both piss me off. Greed and pride send people to the grave and on to hell.
I’m REALLY glad that she’s doing so well so PLEASE do NOT misunderstand what I am saying here……. I too have been very sick for a long time however I have been getting well rather slowly. I was considering doing a brain retraining program and I listened to Rachel crediting her recovery from doing brain retraining and now it seems that she is saying that it is a carnivore diet that has helped her. I have not heard this entire interview yet so perhaps she mentions the brain retraining program as part of it. I would really like to know what has helped her the most because I have many problems she’s had and have thought of the carnivore diet but I had been doing a very restricted diet for a long time with a lot of beef and I’m quite sick of it. I don’t know how to make myself eat more than 4 ounces of meat per day. Anyone have any suggestions ?
YAY….. She does mention the brain retraining and I think she did that first so now I wished I had listened to the entire video first. BTW I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and too many neurosurgeries AND I have chronic Lymes and also chronic mycoplasma infecting my RBC’s. I stopped eating most fruits and vegetables years ago because I was diagnosed with a salicylate sensitivity AND I have mast cell activation disorder so I’m low histamine. THOSE two diets got me out of bed. Now I need to figure out how to like eating meat again. 😁
I am amazed by the number of people who have commented here and shared that they have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Based on these comments, it appears that the condition may be more prevalent than I had previously thought.
Personally I believe it’s becoming more and more common because of our modern lifestyle and poor nutrition (it’s not following a true genetic pattern).
@@CoachStephenit's not rare. It's poorly understood, often unrecognized and misdiagnosed. In 2017 the diagnostic criteria were changed to recognize hEDS as a spectrum disorder including HSD(hypermobility spectrum disorder). That change, along with growing awareness overall has dramatically increased the number of people being identified. Not that many years ago they used to think hEDS was 1 in 10,000. Then they changed it to 1 in 5,000. Now the number is 1 in 500, which by definition is not a rare diagnosis.
There are some strict diagnostic criteria which should be predicated by specialist tests. for diagnosing EDS . In New Zealand where I live hardly anyone has heard of EDS so it’s challenging to get treatment . I wish I had gone carnivore when i was in the injured bedridden stage. Great story. And yes Rachel is very blessed.
I wonder if this would help Dianna Cowern, the physics girl on UA-cam. She is bedbound with similar symptoms, and her husband is searching for answers. Rachael, can you reach out to her?
Thanks so much for having me, Stephen! Such a pleasure to chat with you!
Any time!
Thank YOU for having the guts to speak out about your experience. I'm sure that you are helping many people who are getting desperate for a solution to chronic problems.
My son had chrones disease so bad that he needed emergency surgery, which took most of his small intestine. He, his wife and kids have gone carnivore and doing great now!
Thanks again for speaking out.
Dave from Lakeville, MN
You are a true inspiration girl
@davegreene1198 Im sorry for all that your son , & your pain as his father, have endured! Thank you for sharing it, because I have several friends suffering, each are incredulous that carnivore can heal them. I'll add your testimony to the growing list!
Thank you for sharing your story. Please look into Dr Tom Cowan's work and you may discover the true cause of your illness.
What a success story. Carnivore is improving my health and curing my diabetes. And dizziness.
Great to hear of your success, thanks for sharing
Shout out to Ken Berry for helping this girl get her life back as he’s done for me❤ so glad this sweet young lady is feeling better.
@loriegosnell9355 Yes shout out to ken. I keep trying to get him on the channel to talk about how many people his work has helped people
I’m on day three of carnivore trying to heal autoimmune.
Welcome and good luck. Keep us posted
Get a homeopath
First day for me...
Good luck, stick with it. It has helped me xx
Keep it simple but eat like it's your job.
The more expensive meats are really cheaper in the long run because when you get well you no longer need medications which are expensive
Good point
I disagree. The more expensive cuts of meat have never been compared to regular cuts of meat in any studies. I personally, cannot stand the taste of grass fed beef, because it's tough and chewy as it is lacking in the fats. But, you can compare a ribeye steak with another type of fatty steak and they are both equivalent in health results. As long as you are getting enough fat in your diet, along with beef, the more expensive cuts are unnecessary in the overall health that a meat eating diet provides. And when you eat extremely lean pieces of meat, like round sirloin or grass fed ground beef, you are lacking in the fats, and you need to supplement fats from other pieces of meat so the price of grass fed beef is wasted because it's not as healthy without fat.
Any fat cuts in nature aside extreme latitudes? I’ve found the fat content is not as important as made out. The fat is simply to obtain the fat soluble vitamins and gal activity. Really don’t need that much fat as can be seen in wild animals at vast majority of latitudes.
Also you have more energy and clarity leading to better job prospects netting more money
Honestly if you’re not buying all the junk, meat might be expensive but your grocery bill is a lot cheaper. I know mine is.
I too have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Since going on carnivore, Ican't say it's gone, but it's better. Less pain, less symptoms. Also totally reversed type 2 diabetes. It's amazing what simply cutting all the carbs can do to heal so many chronic ailments.
Thanks for sharing. How long have you been carnivore?
@@CoachStephen about a year
I have EDS too...along with fibro and a number of other things. You just get sick and tired of being sick and tired and HAVE to do something different. Struggling, but working towards Carnivore because I have experienced enough relief to know it's going to work. Keep on keepin on my friends!!
Thank you for your testimony I am 86yrs old and I have been on Carnivor life myname is Roy Carter knowtest the difference It's been 20 days already love it feeling better Happy Days ahead God has blessed me😂❤😊
Love how opened minded you are to try this!👏👏👏👏
My sister struggles with lupus, type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, possibly celiac disease, and stone face disease. I'm trying to get her to do this for her health. I just want her to feel better. 😢
Just send her the link to the video, she can then see for herself and it may make her do a bit more investigating. xx
I remember my sister telling me that she isn't going to drink milk anymore. I was shocked, scared for her and thought she was crazy. We are so conditioned to think we have to eat/drink the way we are told. I hope your sister comes around.
I now think I was crazy to have allowed myself to become so conditioned to this mindset. Diet changes has been a game changer for me too.
@clairegrant4505 I can send her videos until my face is blue unfortunately. She's stubborn and I don't think she ever watched them.
@@AlimakingherwaySome people are attached to their sickness. The best you can do is be a good example.
All you can do now is be a lighthouse and have another person tell her the same thing. Social proof from elsewhere in her IRL circle, you know.
Oh my word, the poor dear 😮 Thank goodness she found carnivore and got well. What a strong young lady😅
She's very inspiring. Thanks for adding to the comments
From a traditional Chinese medical perspective, chronic emotional stress depletes our adrenal chi which puts us in a really weakened, very yin state. Animal food is yang and strengthening, sugar, flour, starches, processed foods are very yin and depleting. Eventually when the energy imbalances are normalized, one can move toward more plants again. Experiment, see what works. Also emotional healing is very important because that's the first cause of all illness. Peace!
This makes soooo much sense, yang foods and emotional healing to start with. Thank you for claryfing 🙂
Do carnivore for some weeks and then Keto. Carnivore is not for ever.
@@monicali2608I don’t plan to ever go off it. I have seen people doing this for 15 plus years. Dud you ever see Sally Norton Toxic Superfoods
ME TOO! I am hypermobile ,but don't qualify for EDS yet. University of Medicine South Carolina has identified the culprit gene for the 13 th category of EDS. Testing may be available in a year or so. I have Sjogren's (congenital). I was born with my feet in complete circles and had full leg casts the first 6 months of life. I have had many freak infections and autoimmune. I am intolerant/allergic of wheat, cow's milk, soy and Sucrose Intolerant. I have either been super healthy and super strong or a blown-up blob wasting and undiagnosable hot mess. I also had a diagnosis of Crohn's but later retracted and considered IBS with food intolerances. The strong times ( super healthy energetic muscle strength) were very limited diets aka almost carnivore . I have searched and researched endlessly. I chose to purposely start carnivore July 4, 2023. It is my miracle. Shout it out!! The reversal of years and resurgence of health and strength is truly miraculous! God Bless
My father and my grandmother both died from complications around immune disorders. It makes me cry when I realize how simple it could have been to help them with their conditions (I never knew my grandmother) had we known about this 25 years ago even when my father died at 56. I am now 58. He didn't eat a poor diet but it was undoubtedly higher in things he couldn't tolerate and lower in foods that should have healed him. I would say seed oils and wheat being the bad and animal foods being the good.
Sorry to hear your story. I lost both my parents when I was young and they followed a low fat, no red meat diet. My mum was really into the grains and skim milk. She got colon cancer. I wish I knew then what I know now. I agree, seed oils and wheat are not good
Me too
My Daddy could have been HELPED
IF ONLY we had Known.
The SAD diet was designed to make Americans sickly, unhealthy, unalive.
Finding this video was a bit of a relief for me. I have Elhers Danlos, fibromyalgia, continuous chronic pain, arthritis, MCAS, migraines, Lyme, stage 4 endometriosis, and the list goes on. After 18 months carnivore, I wasn't seeing any improvements. I was eating cheese, cream, eggs, mostly beef, but also other meats, along with butter and tallow. It was frustrating to see people commenting that magically after 3 weeks all their pain had disappeared when after a year and a half I was still struggling with everything. I'm thinking now that I need to go pure beef and tallow.
I've been doing so for 2 months now and it felt reassuring to hear Rachel went 8 mos on just beef before feeling like she'd attained healing. I was starting to feel really hopeless, but now my hope has been renewed, and that is no small thing. I am also severely underweight so I will also increase the number of meals I'm having. Thank you so much for this Ray of Hope
Wow, thanks for sharing and I'm so glad it's given you hope.
How are you doing now?
Have you looked into oxalate dumping? Very interesting. Look up Sally Norton, incase it's something that could apply to why you haven't felt improvements yet. Good luck!
I had to drop the dairy completely before it really started working for me, along with coffee and tea.
Have you looked into a spinal CSF leak? I have all of the disorders you listed, less Lyme disease, and also Chiari and a bunch more. As it turns out, I've been suffering for 18 years due to misdiagnosed conditions that were caused by the CSF leaks. Hopefully this helps! If you need some guidance, I have a couple of videos on it and I'm documenting my process. You can also comment on a video with any questions you may have. Have a great day! 😊
I just found in some personal research recently that carnivores can get very adequate amounts of vitamin C if consuming organ meats in addition to muscle meats. Animal organs are (surprisingly) very high in vitamin C! That explains how our ancestors did well on meat without adding supplementation or vitamin C containing plants; they ate the entire animal tip to tail.
Thank you so much for this.
I ate nose to tail and still had Vit C deficiency. Even liver doesn’t have much. This may work for some, but not all ❤️
It's still not always enough for some people. I ate organ meats but still developed signs of vit C deficiency like bleeding gums and bruising. It resolved after adding lemon juice to my water. People battling certain conditions and that have gastrointestinal issues can have a higher need for vit C. Elliot Overton on EONutrition has very informative videos about this. Too much vit C isn't good either though bcs the excess turns into oxalates.
@@RibeyeRachYes, same here!
Chicken liver is the only good vitamin c source, as in high vitamin c, but your vit c requirements are much lower if you're not consuming high carbohydrates.
Loved her story and excellent out come. In 2005, I was shot multiple times in Iraq. I had damage to the femoral artery, femoral vein, profunda femoral artery and seven other places in my body. I had six damaged nerves. I was on lots of medications, for 15 years. I had a doctor's appointment in August 2023. My doctor was shocked because I took myself off all medications, including the pain meds. The chronic pain and hundreds of electrical daily shocks had stopped. Thanks to the low carb diet. On March 4th I had two minor strokes. Spent one day and one night in the hospital. Now I trying two things. One is a very low carb diet. The second is, I am learning several new things every day, mainly medical, science and Ham radio topics, so I can make different/new connections in the brain. I am really curious as to how this will turn out.
So am I, please keep me updated.
Rachel along with Mary Ruddick story will absolutely inspire anyone with chronic illness. Thank you Rachel for always being willing to share. I know you are making a difference in so many lives. Enjoy your climbs ❤️
Ribeye Rach!!! ❤ You've had a huge impact on me in my journey!! Thank you for sharing your story with the world!
AWESOME TESTAMENT to the fact that eating animal protein/fat HEALS the human body. Rachael is truly a champion for all others to follow!
Thank you for commenting
discovered Rachs story about 2 years ago, super inspirational!
It really is!
Oh. My. God. Is it possible that someone with EDS has been able to put their condition into remission...with a carnivore diet?! I never thought this could actually happen for EDS as well, it is one of the worst conditions out there. Carnivore diet is trully a miracle way of solving literally anything! Thank you So Much for having Rach on tell her story, this is incredibly important to get out there into the world. Love her and her unwavering spirit, good for you Rach! ❤
Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, I was on the severe spectrum with EDS and 2.5 years later, I don't believe I even meet the criteria anymore. Not many with EDS are sharing about carnivore online, so that's why I really feel a pull to share a message of hope to those people. I know how difficult it is to live with severe illness. And there is so much hope for healing. Just because a doctor says an illness is incurable and lifelong doesn't mean they're right.
P.S. I actually know people with worse EDS than I had that are healing with carnivore / animal-based and brain retraining. ❤I'm astounded by the amount of people that have messaged me and would love to create a library of stories of healing from EDS. The more sharing, the better!
@@RibeyeRachYour story is VERY inspiring. I'm so glad I watched this interview. I have two friends, both skin and bone, one vegan and sometimes vegetarian, the other an animal food eater. I'm going to ask them both if they'd consider going carnivore. I'm vegan, haven't always been. It works for me. I love the idea that we're all different, have different requirements and not being dogmatic.❤
Also former eds and another 'genetic' ailment. Did vegan/vegetarian for years and got IBS and untreatable sibo for my efforts. Also got quite a bit worse health wise. Many more diagnosis later and i was at the desperate for any help stage. Ran into carnivore as i had started intermittent fasting and was seriously considering keto for my liver health. Started carnivore not much later and my life is completely different. No more resting for 2 hrs or more after 10 mins of work. No more persistent nausea or migraines. No more IBS or sibo symptoms. Eds and the other genetic ailment are also non-symptomatic and i no longer take meds for the 2nd.
Meat heals is a corny catchphrase but it is not wrong 🥩🍽️
My daughter has EDS. I thank God I found this “accidentally “
Thank you so mu for sharing this.
I see a little little at the end of the tunnel
Thank you for your sharing your story, you are the real deal.
Thank you for this! I agree totally about some of us needing more vitamin C than can be gotten from meat and animal fat. I've been strict carnivore for going-on-five years. In the past six months, I've been supplementing vitamin C for many of the same reasons Rachel said motivated her to focus on getting more of this essential nutrient. It's made a world of difference for my 66.5-year-old body. Anyway, I really liked this interview. Thank you!
What difference did the added vit C do for you?
The vitamin C question is interesting. Thanks for the comment
@evakuhlbornefelt34 improvement of histamine intolerance, resolution of bleeding/bruising issues, improved mood and energy, skin healthier, less joint pain.
@@CoachStephenI should say first that I am not a carnivore, but that I follow people discussing this lifestyle because I agree with it. I have always thought about the vitamin C question. Many carnivores don't supplement and do just fine. Then I saw a comment that said that meat (probably referring to red meat but not 100% sure) contains DHA which is oxidized vitamin C, it's not measured in meat (not sure why not) but that DHA is a more accesible/absorbable form of vitamin C and therefore fresh meat should be sufficient to give us the vitamin C we need. I am personally not opposed to consuming more vitamin C but personally would prefer to do it through food than supplements so fresh fruit, citrus, saurkraut even.
Vitamin C is more essential for joint, hair, skin, nail health than it is part of the immune system in my humble opinion.
My father had a debilitating immune disorder which saw him to an early grave from heart disease in his mid 50s. My grandmother the same, so there is obviously either a dietary issue or genetic or a connection between the two. I do believe the right diet can fix or prevent these issues.
I find that adding milk(it has vit c) is enough for me, not just as a vit c source but also the minerals etc. Regular milk is what I can afford and what's available in my area but someday I want to have a farm and try raw dairy.
Love this ❤ i have hEDS but its mostly affected my spine. Ive noticed a huge reduction in my overall joint pain just in 2 months of being (relaxed) carnivore.
Good to hear, thanks for the comment
I am very excited to hear your story Rachael. Not only the value of carnivore, but visualization. I'm a Christian and the battlefield is the mind. Faith is imperative. I was very excited to hear a non Christian agree!
Thanks for the comment and I'm happy you enjoyed the video
I'm so glad you found this healing way of eating! You're so young, your life will stay healthy and good❤
@carolinelewis952 Thanks for the comment
I'm also happy she brought up that some people might require a bit more vit C than others bcs it certainly is often "brushed away", as you said, in the carnivore community. I've been heckled and accused of "not doing it right" for just mentioning that I developed signs of vit C deficiency a couple of months into carnivore. What people need to understand is that it IS possible for most people to get enough vit C on carnivore BUT that doesn't mean that some people don't need a bit more though! This can be bcs of serious digestive damage or conditions that requires a bit higher need for vit C. When I reintroduced lemon juice to my water my bleeding gums stopped. Taking high doses of supplemental vit C isn't a good idea either though bcs the excess turns into oxalates. Best to get it from a food source, if possible. And no, the vit C in organ meats wasn't enough for me atleast. Also, if I could afford to eat like Dr Chaffe or Dr Baker (big fresh steaks that's rare inside) I might not have needed the lemon juice. But I live on disability and I buy mostly ground beef on sale and I have to freeze it. So first, the meat is aged for a couple of weeks before it comes to the store and that degrades the vit C. Then I freeze it and that degrades it further. Then I cook it ofc and I'd be very surprised if there were just any vit C left by that time. I was concerned about this before starting carnivore and I asked a couple of well known carnivores about this, describing my situation, and they assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Imagine my surprise when my gums started to bleed and I noticed bruises on my body...I'm meticulous with my oral health and I have never had issues with bleeding gums previously. And when it went away after reintroducing lemon juice (bcs increasing organ meats, as suggested by some, didn't help) it went away. But as I said, whenever I have brought this up in comment sections or fb groups I've been met with rather rude comments. I can't for the life of me understand WHY this is such a sensitive topic for some.😅 Why is it so difficult to understand that some people might have different needs bcs of different circumstances? It's not bcs there is something wrong with the carnivore diet in it self!
I have to point out to anyone reading this that the attitudes I've met regarding vit C has NEVER happened on this channel though! That's why I like Stephen (and Richard) so much bcs they are not dogmatic and they understand that there are nuances to this.☺️🪷
Your post is visible here
@cammieklund - I agree with you that some, possibly a lot of people, require more Vitamin C,D etc because most people that feel the need to go on such restrictive diets do so mainly due to digestive issues. And most digestive issues result in the inability to absorb adequate amounts of certain nutrients. I’ve been battling chronic gum issues and bruising too and have been intuitively thinking about vitamin C as well throughout carnivore.
@@CoachStephen Yes, I see it now!! Couldn't earlier for some reason. UA-cam hangup probably!☺️
Glad you posted this. It gives me more insight on how everybody’s body is different. We are not cookie cut.
I'm vegan, 77, doing fine. But .... I do agree, it's not good to be dogmatic about 'our way'! I've certainly had a LOT of rudeness from others, meat eaters, especially going back in years. I wasn't always vegan either. As a child and a young woman, I was an ardent meat and dairy lover. It was due to health issues, and 'listening' to my body that led me eventually to being firstly vegetarian and then primarily vegan, although I've always said I'll never give up my butter!! 😊
It was great listening to Rachel, and reading your comments. I have two lovely friends, one living two minutes walk from here, and the other in the previous town where I lived. They are both just skin and bone, terrible for them. One is basically vegan, the other one is the opposite. I've just decided that I'm going to ask them both if they'd consider looking into trying carnivore.
I think there's numerous things that contribute to the incredibly wide variety of 'illnesses' attacking people, from babies to little children, teens and into adults.
Lifestyle is definitely a strong contributing factor. I also think the medical industry has a lot to answer for. Too many immunisations, very much including the cvd injection. I could go on a lot more. I also think having no belief in God and prayer has brought a terrible downfall for humanity.
Anyway, I certainly wish all the best for you. I'll health is/can be an seemingly unbearable journey that isn't of our choosing, but we have to bear it. You, Rachel, and many others, including myself, find our way to answers, different success stories!💞🌷💞
I ve watched a few of these videos of seriously chronically ill people now and you go wow , that s great, but really, it is quite amazing, astonishing really.
I never stop being amazed.
"Let food be thy medicine..." Hippocrates ❤
Amazing. If anyone has doubts about this diet this is the point to direct them to!
I really enjoyed this video. I'm f, 65. Have had neurological issues all my adult life: panic attacks, twitches, trouble speaking, as well as other issues.
Rachel is such an inspiration! I'm so thankful she is well, and that she is sharing her story!
She gives all of us hope.
Thanks for the comment, she is inspiring
I liked how she spoke about protecting your mental health which is as important as diet. Brillant.
Cheers for the comment
Rachael's story is one of the stories that tipped me into trying carnivore, and came up when I was looking for people with EDS who'd tried it. Thank you for sharing, Rachael; it's made such a huge difference for me, and I imagine many others.
Oh wow!
Me and my wife are on day 19, We just started to documenting our journey. Both of us are hoping for healing of different things. Amazing story! Congratulations on finding healing for yourself!
I'd like to hear more as you progress. Thanks for the comment
Well done for starting together that will most likely make you keep going, and please update the people about your progress, write it down or post it on your socials platforms. Well done 👍
I am brand new to carnivore diet. I am listening to all these interviews and just want to thank you so much for your work on this subject. I just started the diet ...easing into it, hoping to heal some mysterious medical changes I've experienced over the past 9 months. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your health journey
God bless you, young lady! May you never have to suffer like this again!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Although Rachel was not the one who triggered me to start the carnivore diet, I did ❤watch her throughout her journey, as my journey is a lot the same of hers as far as symptoms go, although I was never diagnosed properly, but I had chronic fatigue and chronic migraines chronic pain I was almost bedbound for two years within 14 months carnivore diet, completely healed me and I am back to work. I am back to living a normal healthy life and I’m off all my medication. Praise God.
@CanadianCarnivore-74 Great comment, thank you
This is an amazing story of healing through food. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope.
- Have you heard of anybody healed, or much improved, from M.E/Cfs? It's a horribly debilitating illness, and there is no real medical help to be found.
I've had this illness for 20 years, and it's left me near bed bound. I can't cook, nor drive a car. I've often felt like a ninety year old at the end of the road... Totally depleted batteries.
Jumping on Carnivore with hope of improving as much as possible - long term.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Yes I've heard of it and I've interviewed a couple of people that got rid of CFS and ME. There is hope
There’s so much hope for healing ME/CFS. I met the diagnostic criteria with severe PEM but was never evaluated. Now don’t have any crashes ❤ I’ve encountered probably hundreds of people who have recovered from ME. I’d highly recommend looking into brain retraining as well as a carnivore / animal-based diet. ME is a huge sign of having a dysfunctional nervous system stuck in “fight or flight”. Hoping all the best for you!!
@@CoachStephen Thank you!
@@RibeyeRach Thanks for your kind reply. In my twenty years of illness, and contact with this patient group, I haven't met even ONE who has been correctly diagnosed with ME/Cfs, that has recovered significantly.
And there are thousands of us here in Sweden.
So whenever I hear claims of 'hundreds recovering', I can't help getting sceptical.
- I don't believe in 'brain training', since the illness isn't in the mind, but is multi systemic.
- Therefore, I think Carnivore is probably one of the best ways of eating for something like this. And I will keep on doing it as strict as possible, for as long as it takes to see improvement.
Medical medium. EONutrition. Dr. Berg. Watch videos from these people. Try DNRS or Gupta program
Progress through
B1, B6, B5, gpc choline, Thiamine in the form of benfotiamine, thiamax, thiamine hcl, or ttfd with magnesium taurate, nac, vagus nerve supplements, butryate, guthathione, magnesium glyinate, celtic sea salt or electrolytes, fermented wheatgeam extract, fermented and gluten free, organ meat supplements. Be careful with supplement that are cheap and with bad ingredients. You'll definitely get out of that bed, your POTS and dizziness will lessen. Great advice....please eat meat ❤. B1 in ttfd for fatigue and b6 for pain game changers
Such an inspiring lady. Thank you for sharing. So much resonates of being in a state of feeling like you’re dying day after day. Carnivore/ketovore has been one of the final pieces of the jigsaw healing myself. Boy has it been a journey. Blessings to you Rachel ❤
She is inspiring, thanks for the comment
That’s for your testimony. My grandson has EDS.
Listening to Rachel and my experience- everyone needs to step back and try carnivore for 6 months to re heal and clear out the body
I agree. Thanks for the comment
Wonderful Rachel ❤. When you speak about the reasons of your worsening health, I think you forgot that on top of your stress and poor diet, yoi were subjected to many medications, the first lot already affected other areas of your health and it just was going down the more meds they were giving you....
Its absolutely heart-lifting to see you climbing and being fit sfter only 1.5 years on a proper human diet
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the comment it's appreciated
I am diagnosed with most of what RibeyeRach said, and I feel much better on a carnivore diet, though I do need some carbs, & fruits. I have found the diet that works for me & am making remarkable progess, in my 70s. Dyssutonomia completely resolved & rebuilding from the deconditioning caused by bedrest.
Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience
So glad I watched... my nervous system has always been a wreck. Going from vegetarian to carnivore has improved my life but has not helped my BP go down (note: I have never been over weight in my life; no smoking; no drinking). I know my nervous system is the key - stuck in "fight or flight". Just have to keep learning and applying all this wonderful "anecdotal" knowledge that has helped my health far more than any doctor did or ever could.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck healing further
If everyone whom has given carnivore lifestyle a honest chance for at least a month and then listed how many so called chronic ailments have gotten better, or totally disappeared on this video comment section, I honestly think that the comment section would run out of free space . It’s that miraculous. Fact. It’s so unbelievably healing that it should damn near be a mandatory dietary protocol enforced by the health insurance industry.
Too much money to be made with SAD it will never happen
The health insurance industry does not want to go out of business so things that work aren’t encouraged.
Mine got worse. IDK my body just doesn't accept meat with it constantly vomiting. I've tried so hard multiple times. A week in I developed sibo n would vom on occasion. I'm glad this works for others but I've found no success. Not against others who have but not for be

wow, Rachael, you are an inspiration! I have gone full carnivore and feel so much better.
Great job!
Awesome testimony to the power of healthy eating!
My daughter has been struggling with first asthma as a young child, then an unexplained neurological condition at 10 which she has been able to largely overcome with the keto diet. She is now 18 and about to start her junior year in college…living life to the fullest.
Thank you for posting this great video! ❤️
Thank you for the amazing story of your daughter
Brava to you and your entire support team. Blessings always! ~Doc
Thank you so much for your kind words, Doc! It means a lot to us.
Wow! What an inspiration! Rachel you are a warrior!
She is indeed Wendy, thanks for the comment
Wow! Thats the greatest come back ive ever seen ! I watch several channels on carnivore i have no idea how ive never heard of her story or your channel! New sub! Ty so much! ❤
Thanks for subbing. The comment is appreciated too
Rachel is inspiring and amazing. I think she said something so important and that is, many people are like a "ticking time-bomb". That seems so true!! Great interview.
Thank you
Feeding the body the right food is the start
What a great testimony thanks for sharing so very inspiring
Hey Nanci! Thanks for the comment. Good to see you on here. Miss our sessions but I'm keeping up with you on Facebook
Wow! I feel so guilty after listening to her story because I feel that MY health issues are so vain in comparison - Hashimoto’s thyroid issues resulting in skin rashes, digestive issues, brain fog, stubborn weight, gum recession and tooth sensitivity, weakness and especially hair loss.
Thanks for the comment. That's a lot of things to put right there. Rachael's were extreme but that does not lessen your issues.
@@CoachStephenThanks for that 😊 I know that everyone deserves their optimal best health regardless of the degree or severity of whatever health issues they have.
Please don't compare! ALL chronic illness is so hard, and your struggles matter just as much as anyone else. Hoping you find lots of healing!!
So have you tried carnivore it will help you. I’m 9 months in doing great

God bless her Dad
Yes
Amazing story. Its great that with social media, people get to share there stories out and give belief to others suffering and the truth in that diet is the most important thing. Most medicine just helps us with symptoms has tonnes of potential side effects and is detrimental to our health. There are certain situations such as antibiotics stopping an infection and pain killers etc helping. But its great to see the healing effects of a good diet.😢
Great comment Jamie, thank you
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Severe fatigue, almost blind and I couldn’t even walk my front path. I discovered Dr Ken Berry and Sally K Norton. Within weeks I had turned a corner and over a year improved massively. My eyesight is normal again. I have now had nearly a year of carnivore/keto diet and this is my new way of living. My MG is under control and I still take my meds.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I would be honoured if you could be interviewed about this for the channel. If you are interested then email me at zerocarbcoach@gmail.com
@@CoachStephen no thank you but glad to tell my autoimmune story. Best wishes.
Hi coach Steven I'm in ireland so it's great to hear from someone here in british Isles as veggies etc can sound different to those in US. WEĹLDONE RIBEYE RACHEL. Amazing story. I have ms so just started paleo keto gradually to get into it. Have you testimonials of people with ms doing carnivore please. My first time on your channel subscribed
Welcome, thanks for the sub. Yes 2 stories spring to mind. Kevin's and Emily's (in the success stories playlist)
I have seen many helped with MS. One I remember is Emily Penton look her up. It’s worth trying. Go for it start slow get rid of sugars processed foods and lower carbs will help add more meat and FAT
I can't even begin to fathom going back to eating any other way. We aren't strict carnivore, we are carnivore-ish as it works for our whole family. But no grains, gluten, ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, etc. Fully wholefood very meat heavy. My hubby is a type1 diabetic. I lived in chronic dibilitating pain that had me using a cane by age 23 and sometimes not being able to move. So thankful to have found this way.
Glad you shared this. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have a grandson with limes, a daughter who has MS I’ve passed it along and hope it will help.
I hope so too!
Wow! very inspiring. I did come across some info from Dave Asprey indicating ozone therapy is a great way deal with Lyme disease, but also a great thought that carnivore (and avoiding the rubbish we have been told is so good for us) ultimately ensures our bodies can deal with pretty much anything.
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your thoughts. I think avoiding the rubbish plays a big part, as you do rightly say
Yep!! I’ve EDS and I’ve diagnosed random people w by seeing their posture, finger extension, pain etc
Mikhaela was the one who also inspired me to go full carnivore. I'm not fully anymore (I should be) but I am very comfortable now.
@janetpelletier1238 Thanks for sharing. Appreciated
Amazing Rachel - I loved your and Stephen's interview!! Well done on taking the leap of faith into carnivore Annie x
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
No problem! Thank you
Speaking about what disrupts your immune sys. Its the thing theyve been pushing the last 2 years, seeing horrendis crap happening after the u know what prik
"I'll give your a TICK for that," said @Coach Steven to a CHRONIC LYMES DISEASE PATIENT. 😮
Really, what am I like!
Thank you for bringing the nervous system into your talk.
Thanks for the comment
Great interview. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
I'm diagnosed Ed hypermobility spectrum disorder. Diet is key! I'm off all pharmaceutical drugs and staying away from sugar, bad oils, pesticides!
Thanks for sharing this Debbie, appreciated
This is the first time I have found this site and have found it to be very interesting and joined for more knowledge. I wonder if carbs make you more likely to get Lyme!
Also can’t believe Stephen is 60 years old! Lots of wisdom in 60 years!( that is lots of experiences to learn 😊
Thank you for the lovely comments. I'm glad you found this channel. I appreciate it
Wow! This story is incredible and I bet she is grateful every day that she discovered the carnivore way of life ❤❤ I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I’m really impressed. I’ve subscribed 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the subscription
I'm so, so sick. I'm diagnosed with an incurable disease causing weakness due to dysfunction of the neuromuscular junction, permanently destroyed adrenal glands with severe adrenal insufficiency and now 100% steroid dependent from decades of chronic prednisone, Hashimoto autoimmune thyroiditis with multinodular goiter with no normal thyroid tissue left its just solid nodules, bilateral hips avascular necrosis, obesity, chronic hypokalemia, hyperaldosterinism, severely immunocompromised with 3 bouts of septicemia that almost killed me, genetic clotting disorder with hx of PE and dvt, widespread muscle pain and back pain, diverticulitis/diverticulosis, and more. I started noticing weakness in my early 30s, but it likely started in my mid 20's. I'm 64 now. 😔
I refused hospice/palliative care because I'm not actually going to die within months, imho. But, how was Rachel able to eat only meat while so sick. I don't know how I could do it. I do want to try it though, because I want to live. Maybe there's a way to ease into it? I'm going to watch the rest of the video now -- maybe she'll address this in the video.
Please reach out to Dr. Ken Berry.
Reach out to Rachel first
I'm 70 & suggest if you can tolerate eggs I've found that runny egg yolks from high quality pasture raised eggs has helped me immensely.
Well wishes ❤
Yes, you can ease into it through keto/low carb. But pasture raised eggs and grass fed butter and beef are healing and pretty well tolerated even when you're transitioning into a more animal based diet. With your challenges, you probably shouldn't try abrupt carnivore (the temporary side effects can be uncomfortable). But start by removing all sugar and grains, lower other carbs as well as oxylate plant sources (spinach, almonds, etc), and add more fat and meat. Very best wishes to you!
So you can't tell that these folks pushing eating animal carcasses are all vicious liars???? I have to admit, although I primarily like to be a bible basher because it's so important, this new carcass thing is like a new train wreck that has a ton of people apparently falling for it. The reason why the Japanese eat wasabi and ginger with their raw sushi is because it helps counter the bacteria that inevitably is consumed with the rotting fish. These carcass nutties are trying to tell people that the original diet of humans going back to before the discovery of fire and cooking, even though we don't have the teeth or digestive system for it, even though animal asses aren't appetizing in the least, even though once they are slaughtered, they rot very quickly, etc etc etc, they still tell us that eating a raw cow's ass is both healthy and normal.
LOL, I'm just using that as an example to show how freakin' easy their argument falls apart - everyone with half a brain cell knows if you eat raw animal carcasses, you will end up with parasites eventually. BTW, I'm not saying I can help heal you - I'm just pointing out these people are frauds and you're way way way way way way way better off listening to a real doctor. Look at Dr. Morse and compare the HUGE difference between these fake doctors on y/t and his approach. He actually has patients and heals them.
These frauds use perfectly healthy people as evidence that their approach works, in addition to their usual fraudulent, tobacco science data. You can make data do anything you want it to. In the bigger picture, of course, once you understand that the people running the money institution are primarily interested in population control, their fake money chases people's weaknesses and tries to make them weaker. It pains me to have to explain this to people, it really does, I figured out all of this stuff in my early 30's.
Amazingly encouraging story and not heard of this woman before but I’m going to introduce her to my daughter who has had a lifetime of mystery illnesses including low energy but what I’m also amazed about is how young Stephen looks… how old is he?!
Hi Amanda, thanks for the comment. Rachael is simply amazing. I'm 60 this year by the way
Great interview. Her conclusion is similar to what I have come to believe.
I have added vitamin c, selenium, magnesium, and iodine in my diet. I have severe nerve damage, arthritis, and neurological problems that the supplements have been key to helping me continue to heal.
It’s not an easy journey but there’s such a difference in my body when I can stay on track.
Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate the comment
Its amazing! Whats also crazy is how willing doctors are to ignore such dramatic improvements just because they can’t accept the truth.
I agree, it's totally crazy. I also get around 1 comment a day claiming all my success stories are BS in some way. People just don't want to believe they've been duped.

Great interview!! So glad to hear this!
Thank you Judy for the compliment and comment
Wow! What a spectacular story! Thank you so much for this interview. I will be sharing this with clients and friend's for sure!
Thank you, I hope they enjoy the interview too
Excellent interview and very inspirational!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing and helping others.
Our pleasure!
I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme in 2017; at that point I'd had symptoms for 20+ years. Been carnivore since 1/26/24 and watching a lot of videos about anything that might pertain to health and diet. This is *by far* the best I've seen with regard to the mental side of battling a disease. I'd be interested in learning where Rachel learned her visualization technique(s). All attempts for me have ended in failure. BTW, first time I've watched any of your videos and you could've knocked me over with a feather when you said your age!!
Believe in healing!
Exactly
@RibeyeRach you mentioned that you have come across a number of individuals with various CHRONIC health conditions that have done the carnivore diet. I have a rare Motor Neuron Disease called Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) which is similar to ALS. I went from a super fit and healthy female to being unable to walk or talk in a couple of years. I am wondering if you or @CoachStephen or anyone else, have come across anyone with either PLS or ALS who has tried the carnivore diet and have managed to reverse their symptoms?
I am not Rach but you should at give it a go. It does seem to heal a lot of people from chronic illness. What have you got to lose.
FYI I have been on the carnivore diet for 7 months now and plan to continue but I was hoping to hear about the experiences of other people who have MND that are similar to mine, who have found that the carnivore diet has helped improved their symptoms.
Yes I've heard of a couple of people where it's helped but both were very private people and did not want to be so public and be interviewed. Which I respect
Why are u waiting for some else results? Why don’t u start carnivore maybe u are going to be the first one to get well and be and inspiration to others like yourself
Give carnivore a go. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Started keto and disease doubled. Moved over to carnivore and in 1 yr doctors were like disease almost gone -so try it
I think the problem is herbicides and pesticides in the food that is not allowing mineral and vitamin absorption.
Nice interview. Thanks so much.
Our pleasure!
Yes, Rachael, Vitamin C is important in knitting muscle tissue together. I learned this after three C-sections and trying for a natural birth with the fourth. I read so many books during that pregnancy and have changed my whole attitude at that point in my life. I've had five natural home births after that , But,...the Vit C supplementation was the start of realizing I may be deficient in some things. Years later, I discovered the Keto and then last year the carnivore lifestyle.
Great comment. Of course vitamin C is in animal products and you need less than the 'RDA' as it's not in competition with dietary carbohydrates for receptor sites. Thanks for commenting
A most excellent interview and testimony! Wow!
Thanks for the comment it's appreciated
@@CoachStephen You are welcome!
I’m praying this works for me! I have lots of autoimmunity, reflux being the worst.
Keep us updated
When the yolks are runny life is sunny ☀️
When people comment rhymes you have good times
Amazing story of healing.❤️🩹 ❤
@dg297 Truly is amazing. Thanks for the comment
Well done ❤let thy food be thy medicine
Yes, good quote
Whether it’s preachers subverting biblical truth and preaching lies, or doctors rejecting reality for the money that comes with preaching lies, they both piss me off. Greed and pride send people to the grave and on to hell.
It gets me cross too
I’m REALLY glad that she’s doing so well so PLEASE do NOT misunderstand what I am saying here……. I too have been very sick for a long time however I have been getting well rather slowly. I was considering doing a brain retraining program and I listened to Rachel crediting her recovery from doing brain retraining and now it seems that she is saying that it is a carnivore diet that has helped her. I have not heard this entire interview yet so perhaps she mentions the brain retraining program as part of it. I would really like to know what has helped her the most because I have many problems she’s had and have thought of the carnivore diet but I had been doing a very restricted diet for a long time with a lot of beef and I’m quite sick of it.
I don’t know how to make myself eat more than 4 ounces of meat per day. Anyone have any suggestions ?
YAY….. She does mention the brain retraining and I think she did that first so now I wished I had listened to the entire video first. BTW I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and too many neurosurgeries AND I have chronic Lymes and also chronic mycoplasma infecting my RBC’s. I stopped eating most fruits and vegetables years ago because I was diagnosed with a salicylate sensitivity AND I have mast cell activation disorder so I’m low histamine. THOSE two diets got me out of bed. Now I need to figure out how to like eating meat again. 😁
I always suggest listening to the whole thing before commenting. Glad you found what you were hoping to hear
Peterson was my original inspiration also!👍
That's awesome!
Amazing story
Absolutely
I am amazed by the number of people who have commented here and shared that they have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Based on these comments, it appears that the condition may be more prevalent than I had previously thought.
I think it's because it's in the description and many people search for specific conditions
Personally I believe it’s becoming more and more common because of our modern lifestyle and poor nutrition (it’s not following a true genetic pattern).
@@RibeyeRach Now that you mention it, I think you're right. (new subscriber to your channel)
@@CoachStephenit's not rare. It's poorly understood, often unrecognized and misdiagnosed. In 2017 the diagnostic criteria were changed to recognize hEDS as a spectrum disorder including HSD(hypermobility spectrum disorder). That change, along with growing awareness overall has dramatically increased the number of people being identified. Not that many years ago they used to think hEDS was 1 in 10,000. Then they changed it to 1 in 5,000. Now the number is 1 in 500, which by definition is not a rare diagnosis.
There are some strict diagnostic criteria which should be predicated by specialist tests. for diagnosing EDS . In New Zealand where I live hardly anyone has heard of EDS so it’s challenging to get treatment . I wish I had gone carnivore when i was in the injured bedridden stage. Great story. And yes Rachel is very blessed.
Thanks Rachael for sharing your history! And thank you coach Stephen for this videos 👍👍🙏🙏🙏🥰
You are so welcome!
Nice story, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for listening
Lymie here to say that I fully agree with her about Lyme
Thanks for chiming in, Lymie!
I wonder if this would help Dianna Cowern, the physics girl on UA-cam. She is bedbound with similar symptoms, and her husband is searching for answers. Rachael, can you reach out to her?
