@@AprilArick007 yes, very true. My current IBD Doctor will not acknowledge how my diet fixed my disease when medications didn't, she just keeps trying to prescribe me more .
I can vouch for most of these changes with a close to 0 carb approach, it settled my mood swings and calm down my ADHD brain, reduced anxiety and more focus!! It also put my IBS in remission and I'm infecting free ( diverticulitis ) for 15 months! And my belly fat dropped!!! Thank you so much for sharing this Dr Tony Hampton, you are changing lives!!!
Thank you so much, Sylvie! Your journey is truly inspiring, and I’m grateful you shared it here.

This worked for my child with Autism. The change was dramatic, less side effects compared to unknown results with medication. Parents, please stop giving your kids sugary drinks and processed foods. Whole foods nourish their brains during growth and development.
YES! Carnivore has changed my adult son's life for the better. He is calmer, much more communicative. He has finally been toilet trained, something I didn't think could happen this late in life, AND he is able to sleep at night for the most part as compared to staying up for days. We switched his foods and drinks one thing at a time. I learned how to make fat bombs we traded for sweets. I learned how to make homemade meat nuggets, chicken and beef "breaded" with pork rinds and Parmesan. He does eat sugar free ketchup. So still a few carbs. He is now even willing to taste new foods, which never happened on the SAD. HUGE improvement. Yes it's difficult at first. Yes, he threw tantrums when he couldn't get his normal sweets and soda. But eventually he began to eat the new foods and he now asks for it. It's worth it!
@@beebranchbunnies5587 I am hoping more families will at least try it, so much better than tantrums. Praise to you and your family for having the tenacity to make the change.
You know what helps with the social aspect of it? Just don't make a big deal of it. Sit down at the restaurant and just order or eat the protein. Most people will barely notice. I do this and only once or twice did anyone even say, you don't eat this or that? But if you make some big announcement you make yourself an outcast by your own announcement. Just do it. Don't announce it unless you have to eat at someone's house, then you have to fess up! OR, invite them to eat at your house. Works perfect.
I agree, eating at a restaurant is not a problem for me, but it's more difficult when eating at someone else house as you don't want to hurt their feelings
@@prunelle19 Yea, I know. Sometimes I just make up something like I'm having an allergy issue at the moment and...blah blah. People's feelings don't get hurt with "temporary" things. If you say "I don't eat...." then it's an issue because some-how, wrongly they assume there is judgement there of their choice to eat things you do not. Allergy solves this. Little white lie but effective.
What helped me in ketosis: - weight loss - mixed IBS - a miserable, painful condition - gastritis - also quite painful - joint pain, joint pain, joint pain - I was seeing a pain specialist for 20 years - gas and bloating - no more simethicone for me! - migraine - mood - that low grade dysthymia of a cloud over my head is gone - seborrheic keratoses have just... disappeared. I used to get them frozen from my trunk - seborrheic pilaris - those little, hard bumps on the upper arms are just GONE I'm 70 and I feel so much better than I have in decades as a low fat, whole food vegetarian. I'm grateful that we are learning about this path to healing - and to Dr. Hampton for making these videos. Our worldwide obesity/diabetes crisis is causing immeasurable harm to EVERY aspect of human living. Every aspect. Not just health, vitality, lifespan, etc. but economic harm, burdening the healthcare system. And far too many in power are connected with the processed food industry. Big dollars in there... not so much in the beef-to-butcher-to-table industry. Keep making the videos, Dr. Hampton. You are helping more people than you can ever know.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey! Stories like yours inspire me just as much as I hope my videos inspire others. It’s amazing to hear how ketosis has transformed your health, especially after decades of struggle. Your experience is a powerful reminder that true healing is possible when we challenge outdated dietary advice. I truly appreciate your support and encouragement-together, we’re making a difference in this fight for better health. Keep thriving! 💪🔥
Carnivore here for 3 years (age 66), I have no more aches or pains that I suffered for years that I believed was age related, easy weight control, endless energy, clear skin, no more sunburns, no need for deodorant or medicines, even got my red highlights back in my still mostly brown hair. I wake early and love getting up now to start the day!
Zero/low carb gave me the best mental health I've had in decades. I'm more resilient, overcoming adverse events quickly, these things would plague me previously (rumination). I'm much more motivated towards all kinds of goals and taking action. It's not perfect all the time, but on average, way better.
This was a great video and full of knowledge about the no carbs lifestyle. When I tell people about how eggs , bacon and sausage for breakfast they all say your blood pressure and cholesterol are high. Then I tell them I eat all meat and some veggies you can’t eat like that it’s bad for you I just smile and keep going. Thank you 🙏🏿
Thank you, you are very brave.... if it is difficult for a patient to discuss these issues with his doctor, I can imagine how difficult it is for a doctor to talk about these issues with his colleagues who do not want to evolve and accept that they are wrong. I already have a new doctor to follow, today I will sleep more peacefully knowing that there are more and more doctors and researchers who are evolving towards better health based on good nutrition, not on medications. Greetings from La Coruña, Spain, Europe
I'm on the journey, moving closer to eliminating carbs at least to below 20 grams per day for optimal health. I feel best when eating fewer carbs. Positive affects I have experienced from lower carbs are; less inflammation and joint stiffness, lower fasting glucose readings, less belly fat, lower A1C, and spending less on food.
Good on you! I'm not a physician, but I know how to read and assess research literature and what I'm finding in PubMed is exciting and gives me great hope for our species. I've enjoyed so many benefits from eating this way - unexpected ones, too. And recently, I was in urgent care when I hurt my wrist - the doctor asked me if I was familiar with Dr. Hampton's videos. That was neat! He said he had resolved all his joint pain by eating a ketogenic diet. I wonder how much my wrist would have been hurting if I wasn't in ketosis... 💗
@aliceclearmanphd984 thanks for the PubMed reference, I will check it out. We are being empowered to make better health choices. Dr. Hampton is MAKING A DIFFERENCE in this metabolic health space. I can't thank him enough for all he does.
Looking back to when I started carnivore 6/23 I have added, deleted and morphed my approach and habits in eating. I continue to make strides. Weight loss was NOT my goal. It happened thou. In fact too much. I had to add in more fats and push in different ways. I do have stage 4, so I do face some different medical conditions. One take away is each individual should listen to their bodies and strive to keep themselves on track for YOU. We all can be different. And still overlap in other areas. I wish I had discovered this years ago
I just had my 6 month check-up (basically just going over bloodwork). Astounding drop in triglycerides and fasting insulin...no change in fasting glucose ( I have been zero carb for over a month). Most astounding change...my eGFR (kidney function marker) increased dramatically. Oh...and my TPO went down considerably...though still not normal. I guess I am in this for at least another couple of months. I also sleep so much better!
You can keep going indefinitely! If you go back to eating what you used to eat before, you'll just go back to how you felt before. I've been just over seven months on an almost zero-carb way of eating and I feel just fine. We've always been told about the vitamins and minerals found in veg and fruit but we were never told about the various toxins they contain. Very underhanded, I think. Anyway, there's nothing in plants that there isn't in meat and eggs and a tiny bit of liver every now and then. I've reached and maintained a respectable weight without ever feeling hungry.
I took my first shot of Ozempic 1-29-2025. Last night was the first time that I didn’t need a sleeping pill in years. The inflammation in my knees went from 1 to about a 3. I can’t believe that I was doing so much self harm with the carbs and sugar. Thank You Dr. T.Hampton ❤

I've been low carb, mostly meats, definitely no desserts, sugary drinks, rice, or potatoes, etc for a little over 30 days. Intermittent fasting not eating until noon. I'm seeing 0 weight loss. I did this about 7 years ago and lost weight the 1st week. But this time, nothing. I'm older of course. Is this why? When will the weight start to come off? Does it just take longer now? And even if I don't lose weight, will my A1C be lower at my next physical due to severe reduction in carbs? I do feel better and have almost no gut issues anymore but the weight is still there. What can I do different?
Women need more fat. Eat butter with your steak. Eggs with your burgers. Heavy cream with your coffee, if you drink coffee. Pick the 8/20 burger meat and the fatty cuts. Eat the chicken skin. Eat bacon. If you do salad, put lots of REAL olive oil and some vinegar as dressing
I made Filipino Adobo (both pork and chicken) yesterday (because I still cook everything for my not completely carnivore family members) and could not abstain from, actually I “chose” to taste the Jasmine rice with both the pork and chicken (pasture raised of course). I woke up slightly sweaty and nauseous for about 5 ish minutes. It was literally about 1/2 a cup of rice with a small amount of peas mixed in. Yikes.
I am so confused..I did it for 3 months and my blood work got worse. My c- reactive protein increased from 0.29 to 1.42 and my ALT went from 10 to 22. And my A1c went up. 5.7 to 6.0. I’m worried. My insulin did go down and my glucose. My cholesterol was still high. Any suggestions?
Ben Bikman has a good video explaining why we need fewer thyroid hormones when on low carb. The reference range doesn't tell the whole story. If TSH is normal it's not an issue.
Haha good point, however, when the vet asks and hears BARF diet, they tell you that it's wrong because kibble is best for your dog, they're asking for all the wrong reasons, at least in the UK 😢
0 carbs (or close to 0) is good for everybody. ...everybody is made of cells. Human biology is the same. People are different only because of different life styles. ...most, never find out that 0 carbs are good. The ones who found it, most found it only when suffering already from metabolic conditions. Only a tiny few do it because they know is healthier.
Congrats on two years of low-carb! 🎉 Constipation is common, but you don’t necessarily need veggies to fix it. Try: ✅ Increase fat intake - Helps lubricate digestion (tallow, butter, fatty meats). ✅ Magnesium citrate or glycinate (400mg/day) - Great for regularity. ✅ Hydration & electrolytes - Ensure enough sodium & potassium to avoid dehydration. ✅ Digestive enzymes or ox bile - If fat digestion is sluggish. ✅ Movement - Regular activity helps bowel motility. If veggies help, no problem, but tweaking these should make carnivore work without them! Let me know how it goes. 💪🔥
Congrats on two years of low-carb! 🎉 Constipation can happen as your body adapts, but you don’t necessarily need veggies to fix it. Try these: ✅ Increase Fat Intake - More butter, tallow, or fatty cuts of meat can help digestion. ✅ Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate, 400mg) - A common low-carb deficiency that helps with regularity. ✅ Hydration & Electrolytes - Low-carb eating increases water loss, so ensure enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium. ✅ Digestive Enzymes or Ox Bile - If fat digestion is sluggish, this can help. ✅ Move More - Light activity can stimulate bowel function.
@reggiemiles8673 Switch to carnivore, and only eat when hungry and stop when comfortably stuffed. Make sure to eat plenty of fatty red meat and eggs because it's the fat which will make you feel satiated and not want to have cravings between meals. I've been carnivore for 1.5 years, I have 2 large meals each day and never snack. It works!
Hey dr i started carnivore three weeks ago and i love it but im getting really bad kidney pain burning pain 😢 i am taking plenty of electrolytes drinking water even taking boron what else can i do? And im also getting muscle cramps
Glad you're loving carnivore, but sorry about the kidney pain and cramps. A few things to check: 🔹 Kidney Pain: Could be oxalate dumping, too much protein, or an electrolyte imbalance. Try increasing fat intake (70-80%), balancing sodium & potassium, and staying hydrated without overdoing water. 🔹 Muscle Cramps: Likely magnesium or potassium deficiency-consider 400mg magnesium glycinate and potassium from meat or potassium citrate. Your body may just need time to adjust! Try tweaking these and let me know how you feel.
How Come many People heal on diets like medical medium. Gillian Berry. High fruit and low fat? Just wish I could heal and know what to do foodwise so many opinions and praying for direction and healing for so long and Just getting worse and more disease and uncurable progressive damage and dont know what to do foodwise
It depends where the individual came from. They may have been eating more processed food so if going to fruit and eliminating processed food then they will heal. Go with low carb, high fat and protein. It’s much more sustainable than vegan. So many testimonies.
Take this channel as an answer to your prayers ❤️ Eating animal products only and avoiding seed oils and ready made foods, you're doing yourself a favour, can't go wrong ❤
I am sorry to say that no carbs or even very low carbs does not work for those of us with adrenal issues and thyroid issues. I end up freezing cold and very low body temperature. like 95 degrees, which is very dangerous and nothing works metabolically if you are hypothermic. without carbs, my body makes way too much cortisol and my body goes into a panic mode. very bad. I take hrt and thyroid medication. Carbs, especially sugar, lowers cortisol. I have to eat carbs otherwise I lose all my electrolytes, despite taking RX potassium and extra salt. you have to be in good health to be able to do no carbs/keto. I cannot do it. instead, I avoid processed foods and get 30 grams or so of carbs from veggies and fruits at meals 2 or 3 times a day. This is not for everybody. stop pushing it. it can be quite dangerous.
Going no carb will cause you insulin receptors to go on vacation resulting in insulin resistance sooner or later. While keto may be good initially, eventually you will end up with a stressed out body that is constantly making glucose from your liver. This stress will also lead to hormonal issues and low testosterone. Carbs are optimal otherwise your liver wouldn’t produce glucose. Might as well eat carbs that are the healthy ones
This is a common misconception. Physiological insulin resistance (adaptive glucose sparing) on a very low-carb diet is not the same as pathological insulin resistance seen in metabolic disease. The body prioritizes fat for fuel, sparing glucose for essential functions, but insulin sensitivity remains intact. A well-formulated low-carb or carnivore diet doesn’t stress the body-it reduces inflammation, stabilizes blood sugar, and improves metabolic markers. The liver produces glucose (gluconeogenesis) as needed, not due to stress but as a normal function. If carbs were "essential," we’d have a dietary requirement for them-but we don’t. Some may tolerate carbs well, but for those with insulin resistance, limiting them is often the best path to metabolic health. 🚀🔥

YES! Carnivore has changed my adult son's life for the better. He is calmer, much more communicative.
He has finally been toilet trained, something I didn't think could happen this late in life, AND he is able to sleep at night for the most part as compared to staying up for days.
We switched his foods and drinks one thing at a time. I learned how to make fat bombs we traded for sweets. I learned how to make homemade meat nuggets, chicken and beef "breaded" with pork rinds and Parmesan. He does eat sugar free ketchup. So still a few carbs. He is now even willing to taste new foods, which never happened on the SAD. HUGE improvement. Yes it's difficult at first. Yes, he threw tantrums when he couldn't get his normal sweets and soda. But eventually he began to eat the new foods and he now asks for it.

Why does Peter Atilla continent suggest we should reduce saturated fat consumption thereby lowering ApoB and reducing risk for atherosclerosis?
Peter Attia focuses on lowering ApoB because ApoB-containing lipoproteins contribute to atherosclerosis. Since saturated fat can raise LDL (and ApoB) in some, he suggests reducing it to lower cardiovascular risk.
From a low-carb perspective, ApoB alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Metabolic health, inflammation, insulin resistance, and endothelial function play a bigger role in heart disease than LDL alone. For some, reducing saturated fat may help, but for metabolically healthy individuals, it’s less of a concern.

Add more fats to your diet like avocado,butter,beef tallow,and bacon grease.
I read it takes longer to lose weight for some than others because they may have more to heal.
I also read to up the fats. Fat heals
Women need more fat. Eat butter with your steak. Eggs with your burgers. Heavy cream with your coffee, if you drink coffee. Pick the 8/20 burger meat and the fatty cuts. Eat the chicken skin. Eat bacon. If you do salad, put lots of REAL olive oil and some vinegar as dressing

I am so confused..I did it for 3 months and my blood work got worse. My c- reactive protein increased from 0.29 to 1.42 and my ALT went from 10 to 22. And my A1c went up. 5.7 to 6.0. I’m worried. My insulin did go down and my glucose. My cholesterol was still high. Any suggestions?
The low carb diet has helped me in most of the ways others have mentioned. Still waiting for the knee and joint pain to ease tho?
Give it time or move towards even lower carb reduction
My husband went total no carbs and he could squat after 10 days of carnivore, after 13 years of not being able to 🎉
@@poczytamci3389 Squat to pee? That doesn't sound good.
@@nathanial82 no, where have you got the pee from?? Squat as in bend your knee in exercise and go as low as you can with your hip towards the floor
@@poczytamci3389 Oh okay
Carnivore, for 10 months, tanked my thyroid. Unfortunately, I need to add back some carbs😢
@@beckyg8028 did you incorporate Iodine supplement?
Why do you need to add carbs?
Ben Bikman has a good video explaining why we need fewer thyroid hormones when on low carb. The reference range doesn't tell the whole story. If TSH is normal it's not an issue.
isn't it strange that when you take your sick cat or dog to the vet first thing they ask you , what are you feeding your pets ?
And most of my clinical visits I’m asking my patients what they’re feeding themselves just like the vet
Haha good point, however, when the vet asks and hears BARF diet, they tell you that it's wrong because kibble is best for your dog, they're asking for all the wrong reasons, at least in the UK 😢
Dr can you talk how to mitigate cortisol spike in carnivore
It fixed my IBD
Nice!
I'm no longer prediabetic..and RA is non-existent.
@Momtocam1997 awesome! It fixed my uncles 18 year battle with diabetes. Glad it helped you too.
0 carbs (or close to 0) is good for everybody. ...everybody is made of cells. Human biology is the same. People are different only because of different life styles.
...most, never find out that 0 carbs are good.
The ones who found it, most found it only when suffering already from metabolic conditions.
Only a tiny few do it because they know is healthier.
Congrats on two years of low-carb! 🎉 Constipation is common, but you don’t necessarily need veggies to fix it. Try:
✅ Increase fat intake - Helps lubricate digestion (tallow, butter, fatty meats).
✅ Magnesium citrate or glycinate (400mg/day) - Great for regularity.
✅ Hydration & electrolytes - Ensure enough sodium & potassium to avoid dehydration.
✅ Digestive enzymes or ox bile - If fat digestion is sluggish.
✅ Movement - Regular activity helps bowel motility.
If veggies help, no problem, but tweaking these should make carnivore work without them! Let me know how it goes. 💪🔥
Why can I not poop? Its been two and 1/2 weeks now and not even a fart. If i go to doctor he put me on statins
I'm on my second year of to
Most carnivore channels would recommend increasing fat intake
Congrats on two years of low-carb! 🎉 Constipation can happen as your body adapts, but you don’t necessarily need veggies to fix it. Try these:
✅ Increase Fat Intake - More butter, tallow, or fatty cuts of meat can help digestion.
✅ Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate, 400mg) - A common low-carb deficiency that helps with regularity.
✅ Hydration & Electrolytes - Low-carb eating increases water loss, so ensure enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
✅ Digestive Enzymes or Ox Bile - If fat digestion is sluggish, this can help.
✅ Move More - Light activity can stimulate bowel function.
Hallo Dr.Hampton. No Carbs ? I am trying to no Carbs to into Ketos , but after that I can not good sleeping at the nicht, may I know why?? thank you.
Yes, sleeping issues can happen early on doing keto. It goes away
Some people are helped by eating a bit of butter at bedtime
Hi 👋
I am doing keto about 8 months but I still have food cravings between meals
Please help 🙏
@reggiemiles8673
Switch to carnivore, and only eat when hungry and stop when comfortably stuffed. Make sure to eat plenty of fatty red meat and eggs because it's the fat which will make you feel satiated and not want to have cravings between meals. I've been carnivore for 1.5 years, I have 2 large meals each day and never snack. It works!
Just take a bite of butter when you feel the cravings coming on.
Try switching to zero carbs, the carbs you consume with keto are triggering your carb addiction, try for 30 days at least
See Dr Ken Berry's channel
Possibly not enough fat.
Hey dr i started carnivore three weeks ago and i love it but im getting really bad kidney pain burning pain 😢 i am taking plenty of electrolytes drinking water even taking boron what else can i do? And im also getting muscle cramps
Glad you're loving carnivore, but sorry about the kidney pain and cramps. A few things to check:
🔹 Kidney Pain: Could be oxalate dumping, too much protein, or an electrolyte imbalance. Try increasing fat intake (70-80%), balancing sodium & potassium, and staying hydrated without overdoing water.
🔹 Muscle Cramps: Likely magnesium or potassium deficiency-consider 400mg magnesium glycinate and potassium from meat or potassium citrate.
Your body may just need time to adjust! Try tweaking these and let me know how you feel.
@DrTonyHampton okay will do! Thank you 😊
@@DrTonyHampton what about fats and oxalate
No carbs makes you feel great!
Ditto
How Come many People heal on diets like medical medium. Gillian Berry. High fruit and low fat?
Just wish I could heal and know what to do foodwise so many opinions and praying for direction and healing for so long and Just getting worse and more disease and uncurable progressive damage and dont know what to do foodwise
It depends where the individual came from. They may have been eating more processed food so if going to fruit and eliminating processed food then they will heal.
Go with low carb, high fat and protein. It’s much more sustainable than vegan. So many testimonies.
Take this channel as an answer to your prayers ❤️
Eating animal products only and avoiding seed oils and ready made foods, you're doing yourself a favour, can't go wrong ❤
I'm at 50 carbs or less a day. 😊
Can I go low carb (under 20) and reap the benefits you speak of? Or do I need to go no carb?
Absolutely
Most of my patients are in the keto range and are doing just fine
❤
❤️
Over 6 months Carnivore, never going back.
Hand gesture = 666 = bbb = build back better 😅
🙌
No carbs,better health,1 000's of people will testify to this,inc myself,at the very least,a few low carbs if necessary😊
Yes
Carnivore cures all!
I am sorry to say that no carbs or even very low carbs does not work for those of us with adrenal issues and thyroid issues. I end up freezing cold and very low body temperature. like 95 degrees, which is very dangerous and nothing works metabolically if you are hypothermic. without carbs, my body makes way too much cortisol and my body goes into a panic mode. very bad. I take hrt and thyroid medication. Carbs, especially sugar, lowers cortisol. I have to eat carbs otherwise I lose all my electrolytes, despite taking RX potassium and extra salt. you have to be in good health to be able to do no carbs/keto. I cannot do it. instead, I avoid processed foods and get 30 grams or so of carbs from veggies and fruits at meals 2 or 3 times a day. This is not for everybody. stop pushing it. it can be quite dangerous.
Going no carb will cause you insulin receptors to go on vacation resulting in insulin resistance sooner or later. While keto may be good initially, eventually you will end up with a stressed out body that is constantly making glucose from your liver. This stress will also lead to hormonal issues and low testosterone. Carbs are optimal otherwise your liver wouldn’t produce glucose. Might as well eat carbs that are the healthy ones
This is a common misconception. Physiological insulin resistance (adaptive glucose sparing) on a very low-carb diet is not the same as pathological insulin resistance seen in metabolic disease. The body prioritizes fat for fuel, sparing glucose for essential functions, but insulin sensitivity remains intact.
A well-formulated low-carb or carnivore diet doesn’t stress the body-it reduces inflammation, stabilizes blood sugar, and improves metabolic markers. The liver produces glucose (gluconeogenesis) as needed, not due to stress but as a normal function.
If carbs were "essential," we’d have a dietary requirement for them-but we don’t. Some may tolerate carbs well, but for those with insulin resistance, limiting them is often the best path to metabolic health. 🚀🔥
