You are right about the cortisol is mostly what is stalling your weight loss. You are blessed to have found a great Church. Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear what happens.
Amazing progress Mike. I'm on Day number 7 and sleeping really good through the night finally. appreciate you sharing these details. can't wait to dig in to your channel and learn from you.
Oh no avocados and keto chow! LOL. You are doing great Mike! I heard the closer to 1 the better on that Trig to HDL ration. Mine was 0.85. So yay me. I have more to report on my particle density test. We'll chat in about an hour and I'll fill you in.
Take care of yourself Mike, have become used to having you around and not wanting that to stop!! Praying for you. I am surprised he didnt order a scan of your legs to make sure there wasnt a clot
Yayyy, Mike!!!🎉 Happy to see you are doing well ! All the docs suggest increasing your fat to meat ratio to lose weight faster. It's the opposite of the SAD nutritional guidelines.😉 Be Blessed!❤️🎉
Hello Mike I really enjoyed watching your video and I can sense a certain amount of confusion towards the end on what to do and I have a few questions that are very important that may help you through this. I recently started a modified carnivore diet to go with the strength training program I'm on. With that said how much physical exercise are you getting on a daily basis? You're talking about having problems with your feet and blood clots in your legs. When you walk and do physical exercise the muscles in your legs act like a pump and they squeeze the arteries to help circulate the blood through your legs and... well feet. Next would be adding extra load to your body, mainly putting more weight on your body than you normally carry around. I do a thing called a farmer carry which is basically taking the same amount of weight you feel comfortable with in each hand and walking around a certain distance with it. I carry my body weight divided between each hand. That may be a little much if you're weighing in at 210 lb because I'm 170 lbs body weight and it's a struggle carrying two 85 lb dumbbells and walking around the perimeter of the gym. This not only builds amazing grip strength but it builds overall body strength cardio and you can see real world results. Another thing I need to ask is how much water do you drink during a normal day? I don't mean water mixed with fruit juice or whatever I mean just water? Just to keep the math simple a 200 lb man should drink approxamately 100 oz of water per day. 1 oz of water per 1 lb of body weight daily. If you're exercising and sweating or maybe you had a coffee or something just add extra ounces of water since it will make you urinate more often. Salt is also very important and the rule of thumb I remember is 1/4 teaspoon of iodized sea salt daily and you can put that on your food. Bottom line is you have to be active preferably doing some kind of physical weight bearing exercise. Lastly I heard you talking about asking your doctor a lot of things. I would suggest contacting a sports medicine doctor and if you're already on the carnivore diet why would you not find a doctor locally who supports that diet?
Amazing comment and suggestions! You are exactly right. I don't walk like I used to. I am doing some squats and pushups periodically and just started planking, but I do recognize it's not enough. Time to get serious for sure. Also, hydration. You are right again. I have a nurse friend who explained that my high BUN was a lack of hydration. I've already started to up my water! My doctor is low carb and has done the Carnivore WOE, so he gets it! Thank You again for some amazing tips!!!
Dr Sten Ekberg has some good vlogs on Insulin resistance and how it can affect weight loss - Also the averages in your blood work are determined by the average of a few thousand tests in a lab - A lot of limits are then based on a sample of basically unhealthy people - So where fasting insulin a few years ago was 0 - 10 it is now 0 - 20 and the same is for all markers
Only 251? What a Pansy! 😂 I've been mostly carnivore since Jan 1, and my HDL/Trig ratio was not unlike yours at 90 days. I'm now down to below 1.5 on the ratio. So hang on, it gets better.
You can plug your bloodwork test results into the Levine Biological Age Calculator (Yale) and see how you are aging compared to your chronological age. My elderly mother has aged minus 18 years during the last 4 years in terms of her biological age. Her hs-CRP test result is 0.4 mg/L which indicates inflammation less than a typical teenager.
You are so right about that. My previous doc is in Texas and they wouldn't refill my prescription. I can't blame them though. I put off finding a local doctor too long. Back on track!
Great Q. It was a lot. Things I ignored in the couple weeks leading up to going to the hospital. Almost fainting a couple times was a big one. The night I went to the hospital I couldn't keep anything down including water.
Do you have Patreon or Venmo... or ?? I'm 59, after 100 mph head-on with a passed out DUI driver in Late 2016, my life had changed drastically and I'm now pressing for 300 lbs like it's some kind of goal or something, but I've always been a Clydesdale, I was 189 lbs as a freshman and by graduation hit 217 lbs but 11 % body fat but now I've started the carniv-eto style diet, I've always eaten health...ish just too much, wine beer and alcohol was always near ( I made beer for a few years, it's just not healthy) and when it's always around, it always gets consumed.. anyway, I thought I'd pay forward a small gift, let me know how to proceed
Amazing story. Sorry about the DUI head on that almost killed you. I couldn't imagine! I have (had) the same problem with alcohol. I just can't have it around. It would have been fun to play football against you back in the day! I was a fast little guy. Hits from dudes like you hurt! I don't have Patreon, but my Venmo is @mikeshawtv. Thank You so much for your encouragement! I believe Ketovore/Carnivore will serve you well!
Most doctors are inflamed and sick themselves in a terrible example of who to take advice from especially if they're using this advice. Our medical system is rotten to the core. There's only a handful of really good doctors out there nowadays and none of them are dealing with the insurance industry
You are right about the cortisol is mostly what is stalling your weight loss. You are blessed to have found a great Church. Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear what happens.
Thank You! Weight is still stalled, but swelling in my legs is gone! Amen to that!
Mike, you are amazing.
Not sure what brought that on, but Thank You Dee!
Mike, you are under so much stress. It can do crazy things! ❤ Sending you healing prayers from NJ!
Thank you so much Erin!
Amazing progress Mike. I'm on Day number 7 and sleeping really good through the night finally. appreciate you sharing these details. can't wait to dig in to your channel and learn from you.
Thank You Reyes Family! I really love this way of eating (WOE) and the Keto/Carnivore Community is very supportive!
Didn't realize the thirds grid was visible on the actual video! But, here it is anyway.
haha i did the exact same thing with my first video with my new camera lol i had to do the whole video over
@@TheCarnivoreCure I'm too lazy I guess 🙂
@@MikeShawTV Id say ypur better adjusted. I'm just a bit OCD lol
@@TheCarnivoreCure lol
You are doing good Mike. Thanks for explaining the HDL/Trig ratio. Sorry about your edema issue though. Will be praying for you.
Thank You! I'm going to talk to my doctor and have them check the clot side things. Stay tuned!
Oh no avocados and keto chow! LOL. You are doing great Mike! I heard the closer to 1 the better on that Trig to HDL ration. Mine was 0.85. So yay me. I have more to report on my particle density test. We'll chat in about an hour and I'll fill you in.
Sweet! See you soon!
Good report, good luck with the interview.
Thanx Cuz!
Take care of yourself Mike, have become used to having you around and not wanting that to stop!!
Praying for you. I am surprised he didnt order a scan of your legs to make sure there wasnt a clot
Thanx Renee! I love hangin' out with you too! You are hilarious 🙂 As for the ultrasound for clots, I think that's probably a very good idea.
Yayyy, Mike!!!🎉 Happy to see you are doing well ! All the docs suggest increasing your fat to meat ratio to lose weight faster. It's the opposite of the SAD nutritional guidelines.😉 Be Blessed!❤️🎉
Thank You So Much!
Hey friend, thinking of you. Fingers and toes crossed!
Thank You Carrie!

Don't forget the importance of EXERCISE-- proven to increase hdl....
Pro tip! Thank You
It’s asking for the last 4 numbers of your phone number for confirmation.. I don’t Venmo much but I’ve never had it ask that

Good to keep in mind always. My fasting insulin was 5, so I'll take it!
Only 251? What a Pansy! 😂
I've been mostly carnivore since Jan 1, and my HDL/Trig ratio was not unlike yours at 90 days.
I'm now down to below 1.5 on the ratio. So hang on, it gets better.
lolol! Awesome Bruce! Thanx for the encouragement as always!
Amlodipine caused my feet to swell and neuropathy, I changed the drug to something else and no more neuropathy or swelling
Awesome!!!
Support socks will help with edema and leg cramps. I have to wear them 😕
I do have some. I wear them sometimes, but not in a long time. I'll have to see if that helps! Thank You!

Whoa! Thanx for the pro tip! Congratulations to your Mother!!!
usually not a good idea to just drop medicine cold turkey, good to hear your markers are improving
You are so right about that. My previous doc is in Texas and they wouldn't refill my prescription. I can't blame them though. I put off finding a local doctor too long. Back on track!

most doctors do not share that opinion. So if you don't believe doctors that's fine but why are you cherry picking other doctors .
Most doctors are inflamed and sick themselves in a terrible example of who to take advice from especially if they're using this advice. Our medical system is rotten to the core. There's only a handful of really good doctors out there nowadays and none of them are dealing with the insurance industry
