Good-bye Pain - Hello Vitality: Brian's Carnivore Transformation Story S2E63
Brian Kelly a 53-year old who defied the odds, and transformed his health on the Carnivore diet. He had been struggling with obesity, debilitating gout, sciatica, tendonitis, visceral belly fat, and chronic inflammation that left him feeling tired and bloated. Sleepless nights and sleep apnea challenged him with daily brain fog. In his early 50s, he felt he was losing his vitality. Brian discovered the Keto diet, which helped a bit, and then Carnivore, which really contributed to his healing. Now Brian has reclaimed his health. The results are truly remarkable. No more gout, sciatica, tendonitis or sleep apnea. He's shed excess weight, banished his belly fat, and said good-bye to chronic inflammation. His energy levels have soared, and he's sleeping better than ever. The bloating is gone, and his mind is clear and focused. Best of all, Brian feels rejuvenated and revitalized, with a newfound sense of purpose and enthusiasm for life. He's thrilled to share his story, hoping it will inspire others to take control of their health and transform their lives, just as he has.

Overcoming the Unthinkable: Michelle’s Journey - Pseudomyxoma Peritonei and the Carnivore Diet S2E62
In 2007, it was discovered that Michelle Sanders had a very rare form of abdominal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is caused by cancerous cells that produce abundant mucus and tumors. The tumors cause adhesions (unnatural fibrous connection of tissues), and impede digestion and organ function. If left untreated, the tumors and mucus will fill the abdominal cavity. In a procedure referred to as “The mother of all surgeries”, Michelle had most of her internal organs removed (spleen, appendix, omentum, bowel segments, etc.). Her liver and diaphragm were scraped. Then a heated chemotherapy solution was circulated through her abdominal cavity for 90 minutes, a procedure called HIPEC, which left her with masses of internal scar tissue, and damage to her vagus nerve. After surgery, Michelle was only instructed to eat low fibre. Without further nutritional guidance, she ate mostly cake and chocolate, and her weight ballooned. 6 years ago, she tried Keto and dropped 6 stone/84 lbs. Almost 2 years ago, Michelle transitioned to Carnivore. There have been some improvements in her condition, but she still has digestive issues. Michelle suffers from chronic overall pain, nerve pain and has CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) She does the Carnivore diet because she can't tolerate consuming any plants since her surgery. Michelle’s story is an unusual and remarkable one. Michelle can be found on Instagram at: Michelle Sanders Shelly_187

From Darkness to Strength: Ron Lawson's Journey to Healing on Carnivore S2E61
Ron Lawson, in his own words: I’m a husband, dad of five, youth pastor, and tradesman who finally got tired of feeling like a worn-out power tool. Between work, kids, and church life, I was running on caffeine and prayers. Then I found the carnivore lifestyle - and let’s just say meat fixed more than my hunger. My energy came back, my focus sharpened, and I started feeling like the man my family needs me to be. Now I’m on a mission to help other guys do the same - ditch the junk, eat real food, and take back their health so they can show up strong, love their families well, and serve the people around them with purpose.

Christopher Medina’s Carnivore evolution S2E52
Our guest today is Christopher Medina, a highly informed Carnivore, with valuable experience and information to share. Here is his mini-bio, in his own words: I am Christopher Medina. I go by Chris or Christopher, but have no preference. I have always had an interest in nutrition and holistic health and wellness dating back to high school. I used to buy into the propaganda of plant-based diet and lifestyle. In early 2019, I discovered the YouTube channels of Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry. As I learned about the benefits people experienced on the diet, I kept it in mind while taking everything with a grain of salt. Over the next two years, I considered doing the carnivore lifestyle as I listened to the growing number of successful carnivore diet testimonials. In July 2022, I started the 90 carnivore challenge. I consumed mostly beef, eggs, butter, bacon, cheese, and some occasional fish, pork, and chicken. My acne mostly cleared, my energy levels were through the roof and consistent, I could better articulate my thoughts, my mental clarity improved, I felt happier, I felt more motivated to exercise, and more. Over time, I shared my experience with friends and family. Few people were interested in trying it and I guided them for free. The people I helped saw improvements in their quality of life and one of them, who was previously infertile, restored her monthly cycles and had two daughters. Chris can be found on Instagram @crispycarnivore22 on Facebook as Christopher Medina, and by email at christophermedina@gmail.com
