Our food makes us sick, our healthcare makes us sicker!

Thanks for sharing my story Dr Westman! I love what you’re doing and wish you were my Dr 20 years ago.

I get kind of angry any time I realize how doctors failed me, my children, my sister and my mom throughout the years. Now I'm 60, and better than ever! Yesterday I found that I weigh the same as at 18 yrs old: 70kg! Started keto in 2018, with 90-92k g😮 No more all the pains inside and out that I suffered from, good skin, strengh, no more brain fog, and I could go on! Oh, I can't wait to watch Healing Humanity!! Hope it will shake the Earth!!!!

I’m a 46 yo old male…6’ 1”. I started low carb diet in 2/8/24. After 6 weeks I transitioned to strict carnivore. I was 270lbs taking BP meds, GERD meds, allergy meds to help with my chronic nasal congestion. I had knee pain walking upstairs and I would get out of breath. Although not diagnosed, my snoring and sleep patterns reported by my wife probably indicated that I had sleep apnea. I struggled with loss of focus and teetered on the edge of anxiety and depression in and out.

At around 6 weeks, my BP readings were dropping precipitously. I stopped all of my meds (after consultation with my doctor). BP remains at or below 120/70. GERD is gone. Nasal congestion is gone. Snoring is gone. Brain fog is gone and focus level is back up. I weighed 210 this morning. I still have a little to lose, but 60 lbs down in 3ish months. As a side note…over the last couple of years I had developed extreme susceptibility to the sun. I would burn in less than 15 min. I can now sit in the direct sun for hours without burning like it was when I was a kid playing outside all day.

I try not to be “preachy” about this with my people. But it is hard to sit on it as I feel, like others, that I’ve been lied to about diet throughout my life. People ask me what is the one most important thing I e learned over the last 3 months? I tell them “that almost everything we’ve been taught about diet since we were kids is wrong and we should, almost without exception, do the exact opposite”.

I hope this comment encourages others!

The first time doctors told me I was terminal was in 2015. I bet my life on the carnivore diet. I'm now three years post surgery, cancer free and living my best life at 63. It's been a wild ride that has taught me so much. It's all right there for everyone but most people will never see it. It's heartbreaking.

When you start experiencing feeling well, it's very hard not to be angry at the system.

Im a retired MD (military and family physician) and im FURIOUS. When i graduated and started practice in the late 1970s, we just didnt see all if this nutrition based chronic disease. It just didn't exist and very new people were obese. The very few dieticians around were employed for ICU patients in hospital. As folks started getting sick and fat, the schools of dietetics were established and the professors of nutrition stepped in and said "Dont you worry your head about this stuff, Doc. We'll take this on for you". This coincided with a massive increase in stuff i had to learn and keep up with, so it seemed sensible. What they didn't tell us was that they sold their souls to processed food makers and the Seventh Day Adventist church from day 1. Whole university departments accept massive funding from industry, the research was paid for by industry, and they are STILL doing it. Beware medical schools that are planning to introduce nutrition training because they're following orthodox, industry funded recommendations.

Carnivore was such a life changing experience for me. Not just weight, mental health, brain fog, auto immune gone, no more poop issues, don't get sunburnt, no more erection issues, and this is just the things i can think of.

[mcaldwell]

I started my carnivore diet journey August 29th of last year (2023). I was 257.1 lbs. I weighed in today at 190.3 lbs and I'm feeling *outstanding*! Had two hamburger patties, two eggs, and bacon for lunch. Will eat steak for dinner... I'll sleep well tonight and I'll weigh less tomorrow. Gout? Arthritis in my knees? Both gone for the last 8-1/2 months! I tell everyone I can about the dangers of carbohydrates. Thank you for this channel!

Kerry is a hero for humanity! TY Dr Westman for amplifying his voice. Let’s heal!

I am 67, carnivore, and more alive than ever before.

[MrNoucfeanor]

Was recently diagnosed with nasal and bladder cancer(the past week) and have gone carnivore with extensive fasting. Can't afford Chemo so this is all I have. Smoking has ruined me but, here I am.
I wrecked my health and I don't expect to come back from it but, I can at least enjoy my last days in relative health.

Wish more people talked about bladder cancer.

My husband and I started on April 19th. The day after an extremely stressful doctor appointment on the 18th. I am 66, he is 72. We have been trying for a year to find help with our health issues and no help from our doctors. I was diagnosed 5 years ago with fibromyalgia and, no cartridge left in my knees, and morbid obesity. Pain all over and totally exhausted by the afternoon every single day. But my blood tests weren't bad enough to do anything about it. This is just the tip of frustration but the bottom line is we took it upon ourselves after watching Dr Ken Berry and Dr Westman to try what they were telling us. I have lost 8 lbs in a little over 3 weeks. My knees are no longer hot with inflammation and pain. My so called fibromyalgia no longer gives me pain. My sleep is so much better. I don't eat junk or crave sweets. I actually have some energy! My husband has lost about 5 lbs. No longer snacking on junk food. He is walking 2 miles daily and feeling much better! This is a new beginning that we are fortunate enough to experience.

[mkeklpse]

This is my story. Started carnivore a year ago and I'm down 100+ lbs and feel great. No more cpap, skin is great, no more aches and pains, mental clarity and overall better better mental health.

[rfolea]

I am 65 and went carnivore after 3 visits to tbe cath lab for heart attacks.
Lost 1/3 of my body weight (now 155lbs at 6'1"!), no more BP meds, no more statins, no more inflamation, no more joint pain, etc.
Haven't felt like this since i was a teenager.

I have an illness the medical community doesn’t give a crap about. I’ve suffered to the point of wanting to die everyday! They say this illness has a 5 percent chance of recovery. I have been stuck in my house and stuck in a recliner or in my bed for the last 7 years. Told there’s no cure. I’ve tried everything and spent a fortune trying to figure this thing out, trying to break free from ME/CFS prison!! My first month on carnivore things started changing drastically! I’m almost five months in now and things aren’t perfect, but I’ve been able to go shopping with a friend, plant some flowers, and do some work in my shop. All these things were impossible only months ago. I only eat beef and egg yolks and it’s giving me my life back!!! So simple. Yes, I’m angry as hell! I was told to eat lots of grains and fruit and veg. It made things so much worse!! Doctors are ill informed on nutrition and they no longer get a pass! The information is out there. DO NO HARM!
Edited for spelling error.

I am 84 and I am Carnivore. I heal my diabetes and all pain which I had pain in my knees and my back and one of the things I did not expect was the cracked heels are gone. I wish I had known all of this years ago, but I’m glad I know it now.

[cathiemcginnis]

I am 76 and have been on carnivore for 2 & 1/2 years. I feel like I did when I was in my 30's. I walk 2 to 5 miles a day, strength train every other day, have so much energy I can go all day and never get tired. I no longer have IBS, high BP, arthritis in my hands is gone, acid reflux gone, brain fog gone, sleep greatly improved, joint pain gone! I am sure I have forgotten a few things. But most importantly, I feel so amazing and happy! 😊 OH, and I lost 27 lbs. that I gained during menopause and could not lose for many years!

[dandan]

I went full Carnivore in the beginning of December 2023. In 3 weeks I lost 22lbs! I was not that overweight but felt miserable with all kinds of aches and pains and severe Headaches. I'm 65 and just thought it was my age. I have had High blood pressure for like ever. I don't smoke or drink but I had no limits when it came to food. My goal was to lose 37lbs and I did it and moved to a Keto type diet. I don't eat any processed foods. No Ice Cream anymore, no bread and tbh I don't miss it at all. If I need need a fix I eat a small square of 90% Dark Chocolate. I now weigh my target weight of 155lbs and feel great! My doctor told me to stop the Blood pressure meds. My blood work is fantastic. My doctor was shocked when she saw me on a health visit and couldn't believe what I accomplished. I can't recommend it enough to start eating correctly. Like I was always told "you are what you eat". I love watching these videos.

I think we all carnivors feel really emotional, because I am 66yrs old and this is my 3rd month on the diet. I had to stop working at 55, because I was so sick. After 3 montĥs I feel renewed. I wished I did not believe the
