    I got my blood work all checked recently……my A1c was great! And cholesterol “slightly” elevated….i got lots of stuff checked and everything was good. But the cholesterol issue…..doc (I did NOT tell him I was a carnivore) said I should go on a Mediterranean diet to bring down my cholesterol. lol, I just laughed to myself. There is nothing in the world I could do to eat any healthier than I am now!

      @@CarnivoreguyScott there is also a long back story to my doctor too. In 2005 he said I was pre diabetic and told me that in 2 weeks I was to come back and he’d put me on meds because “that’s all you can do” even after he told me to go see a dietitian. HE HAD NO THOUGHTS THAT CHANGING DIET WOULD HELP! Needless to say, in two weeks I did NOT go back and get on meds…..and in a month, I went in just to weigh on their scales ( down 30 lbs in one month) and prove a point. All from going low/ no carbs. I did check my blood sugar twice a day for those first two weeks, and every day it got better and better.
      Now, I did yo- yo diet for years until last year when I went carnivore. That’s the WAY TO GO for sure!

    Sir, Thanks for this vid. Your Cholesterol, LDL, HDL and TRI and near mine and I was a bit concerned (2 yrs carnivore). My average from my July 2024 blood test is 1.6 (still high but coming down) but in 2022, 2 weeks before I went carnivore my average was 7.6. This really helped my mindset. Also of an unrelated note: being in the military medical system, a lot of things are not optional (I have to pick up my meds and can't deny em - but I throw away). I finally have a new Dr (changes nearly every year in military) and she said she was seriously concerned about the cholesterol and LDL, but I told her I have been carnivore for 2 years and listed all of my improvements, weight, migraines, Gerd, ED, inability to walk straight etc. I am a stroke survivor, had it a day after I returned from a TDY overseas. (I had her check my medical record and she agreed with my self assessment). She said she tries to be open minded (does not agree with due to medical training) but it appears to be working for me, so she basically said besides those numbers everything else appears to be great.

      Which means you're healthier now than you've ever been🎯~yes! My husband retired after 34 yrs in military, was on a host of medications, & everything you say is spot on. Over the past few years eating this way (& dropping 60 lbs), he is off of statins, BP meds, heart "regulating" meds, GERD, opiates, sinus/allergy & more. Only thing left is the CPAP machine, which honestly has become a security blanket, since at one point, he nearly died at a sleep study center. It scared the heck out of staff & has used the machine ever since. Because he is now retired, they cannot force the meds, but it's been a long road for him to trust his body to heal itself after so many decades within the system~ he was military kid growing up as well. Lots of wonderful things about the military, yet the medical portion truly needs to catch up~ same as civilian, for that matter.
      Really glad to hear you are doing so well, & you have a doctor who is at least open minded. We've found that having a nurse practitioner or phycisian's assistant as our primary can often provide more flexibility, & they tend to be big researchers too~ more up to date & open to what we're doing.Sam in AZ

    Love this info. I went keto a 1.75 years ago. Pushed my HMO for 3 months the to get a CAC score. It was bad. Angiogram put me in the ICU o we the weekend for a heart stent the following Monday for a 90% blockage in the LAD. That was March. I’m still low carb and NOT afraid of fats or meat. I’m waiting for the HMO minimal blood test when they’ll scream at me for a higher LDL. I will pay for my own deep dive panel next month. Been going to the gym every other day and eating 2 meals most days. We’ll see. I definitely want to compare my values with those that gave me high APOb (before I screamed about the scan for 3 months). Glad I was obnoxious.

      After several months of "less than ideal" results. With fish under stress, not reproducing, dying. Plants in stress, etc. All that meaning serious unbalances in the environment. I kind of "gave up". And mostly stopped all that "intervention".
      Lo & behold the systems stabilized the environment improved. Fish stop dying and getting sick. And even reproduced! LOL 🙂

    This was a GREAT episode. I ran my numbers after ONE MONTH of carnivore on that ratio was 0.66 (dated 9/2023)… back in 2015 my ratio was 1.94 😬.
    ALSO, as a fellow clinician… 13:47 “they end up feeling horrible” “that’s what it takes to get healthy” - ARGH. I can’t tell you how frustrated I am by this… particularly as my other working activities now includes involvement with naturally farmed pasture based ranching… I feel like I’m going back to school all over again.
    SO many doctor, nurses, PharmDs, DPTs, etc are taught are certain set of knowledge items… it practically becomes doctrine, and it’s hard for even the smartest of individuals to dig themselves out of “what is known” to what actually works… reminds me of scenes from the classic Planet of the Apes.
    Mind you, have a clinical doctorate, MBA, and a degree in Bioengineering… and to date I feel like I know less and less information that MATTERS, only learning it now through recent personal experiences and professional pursuits.

      🎯Absolutely. Was just responding to another commenter that we have found nurse practioners & physicians assistants to be more open to newer info/data, plus they tend to have more interest in- & time for- researching themselves. Many insurance comanies will allow either of these as primary~ PCP/PCM. A good direction to consider if someone's struggling it find a doctor to listen, or is in between docs for whatever reason.

    So I've been carnivore 97% for about 7 months prior to may of 24. All of a sudden i decided to get checked up. Immediately they placed 2 stints. I had a 90% and an 80% blocked. So i get hooked up with a local cardiologist and he wants me on statins of course. He says my neck arteries are 30% and 50% . He says my system is full of plaque and i need to get my cholesterol down. But my cholesterol has always been right at 109 or even a bit lower. When i told him i didn't want the statins, he got MAD! And defensive.
    I need to go 100% carnivore and see what happens with my numbers. However, ALL of my other number's are all in the green.
    What should i do.....

    Hello all, I'm 45 years old, as of January 2023 I was 6 ft tall, 347 lb. As of July 4th my weight is 274 lb. I was on pretty strict carnivore all the way through June, I started drinking coffee and a little more dairy after June. I even ate a little bit of fruit at the beginning of this month and it made me snore again. I'm back to strick carnivore with a little bit of cheese. My question is about cholesterol and my arteries. I ate the standard American diet and went way overboard for 45 years, the damage that I did to my body and to my arteries because of all the insulin resistance is what I'm worried about. Does that correct itself because I'm on a proper human diet or are my arteries damaged forever?

    I don't understand the fireman analogy, because the firemen, for the most part, were not at the burning house before the fire started. However, in the instances when a fireman was at the house before the house burned, the fireman often started the fire. LDL cholesterol, however, is frequently high before the cardiac event occurs.

    Perhaps a consequense of my academic and professional background in geology, but I am comfortable thinking in millions to billions of years.
    It is sometimes hard to have conversations with pepple with non-scientific liberal arts backgrounds. I have found it easier and more effective to speak in language and ideas that resonate with peoples backgrounds.
    I have found it helpful to describe humanities 6,000 to 10,000 year dalliance with carbs as a type of "Faustian Bargain" and as a consequence people are living their lives in a "Guilded Cage", enslaved to the shareholders of the processed food, health insurance, and pharma industries.
    One can envision that if not for the cultivation and consumption of agricultural grains, humanity would still be a fully nomadic species running around with sticks and spears in search of game for our daily sustenance. If not for grains, there would be no civilization as we know it with written language, art, music, culture, science, and technology.
    However, we now have a better understanding of the long term health consequences of relying on carbs and plant-based industrial seed oils for our daily sustenance. We are now in a position to both have our cake and it it too. We can eat a healthy meat based diet AND retain the best of what civilization has brought us. There is a time and a place for everything. The time for carbs has passed. We thank you for bringing us civilization, but it is time to get back to who we really are (hyper-carnivores) in terms of anatomy, physiology, and metabolism.

    What about this? I'm from Norway. Here are some recommendations from the healthcare system in Norway. According to the Norwegian Directorate of Health's guidelines, a total cholesterol level of 270 mg/dl or higher should usually be treated with medication. If you have diabetes but no cardiovascular disease, total cholesterol below 193 mg/dl is recommended. If you are over 40, the recommendation is to start treatment if your LDL cholesterol becomes higher than 96 mg/dl, corresponding to 70 mg/dl in the case of known cardiovascular disease (regardless of age). Over 10% of the population uses medication for high cholesterol. Almost 40 percent of all over 65s use medication for high cholesterol.😦 I have diabetes 2. Carnivore for 1 year now. My total cholesterol has increased from 77 mg/dl with statin to 158 mg/dl without statin, and my doctor wants me to start statin again. Blood sugar and blood pressure are perfect. All inflammatory reactions disappeared after 2 weeks after I started carnivore and I stopped taking Metformin and cholesterol-lowering medicine.

He focuses on drugs that reduce inflammation and anticoagulants like baby aspirin. Also something that many people that focus on diet don't consider is the need for stress reduction. Learning coping mechanisms to deal with stress, deep breathing exercises and meditation are proven to be helpful. I combine my walks with deep breathing and I also do tai-chi exercises (gentle on the joints and helpful for relaxation)
