Well, I'm 83 and I started Carnivore (from 1-1/2 years of Keto) a few months before my 83rd birthday. I'm doing quite well. It's helping so much with my health. I've lost 80 pounds and my health is so much improved.
I can’t even tell you how excited I get when i read comments like yours!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Fantastic,
Thank you Gloria for being the young spirit that you are. Worldly age perspectives has no hold on you!! On me either!!!
My cholesterol is up total last week was 543. Good cholesterol was 96. So dr put me on statin😟
That is awesome! X
I’m a living witness that the scale doesn’t mean much at all! I’ve only lost 15 lbs, but so much inflammation that people think I’ve lost 50+ lbs.
Right! I've been on/off a keto/carnivore diet for the past 5 years and every time I go off the wagon my inflammation comes back and within two days of starting again I only lose 3 pounds or so but feel like 30 has been lifted off of me. It's amazing!
Wowwww, so Encouraging
Nice! Encouraging!
👍

I find it important to remember it isn’t a ‘diet’, it is a lifestyle… for life.
I just turned 64 a few days ago. I'd lost 50 pounds back in the mid-'90s with the Atkins diet. It was before the "net carb" lie. No bars shakes or frozen meals. So I did it on meat, eggs, and veg. I stayed a size 8 for about 10 years. If I ate a cookie a week, it was a big deal. I had a few setbacks involving MRSA which required copious amounts of antibiotics and caused very bad reactions. I had surgery a few years later and then a motorcycle accident. I slowly started putting pounds back on as I became more and more sedentary. I got used to being in pain and then menopause happened. I did not experience much in the way of suffering. It wasn't a big deal. Today, I look up and see I've had a few years of incredible stress and I'm now over 200 pounds. My biggest complaint is the pain, the gas, the bloating, and did I mention the pain? EVERYTHING hurts. I don't exercise because it hurts so I sit still and it hurts. CAN I TELL YOU! I've been eating meat, butter, and eggs for about a week now, ONLY a week and I already have so much energy and the pain is diminishing. I'm looking forward to great things. Thanks for such a great panel. I'm inspired.
For me, menopause was a non-event. I stopped menstruating at 47, and that was it. Nothing happened, no changes, no weird symptoms. But then again, at the time, I had been very low carb and no processed "food" for about 10 years. In my 60s now, and still no issues, happy and energetic.
I've had major changes 2 weeks in. I suffer from chronic uticaria ,food allergies. This year it has been overwhelming. Hives head to toe every night. It is GONE!! Three days in they were GONE!! On top of that I have carried all my fat on my legs and butt since puberty. I've done bodybuilding , calorie reduction. The fat wouldn't move. I looked so funny, muscular upper body, fat bottom. I've lost 7 lbs from my legs and bottom in the last 2weeks finally!! ❤
Congrats
That's awesome! What exactly are you eating? 🙂
What did you eat!! :) if you don't mind
HRT has done wonders for women’s energy levels, sex drive and overall youthful feeling including sleep! Don’t suffer ladies, if you need it’s ok, take the help
You mean menopausal women can regain their sex drive?
One point-of-view they did not touch on was if you are surgically put into menopause. That is a totally different process than the natural process they speak about...whether carnivore 10 years or not. I wish they would have at least touched on the difference between aging into menopause or surgically going into it overnight.
@@hollyhock3945 I listened to a great podcast featuring Dr Louise Newson, she is not carnivore as far as I know but she is very knowledgeable about HRT. The podcast I listened to is called The Imperfects but I think she has her own which I am yet to listen to . Louise did talk about surgical menopause. All the best to you
@@isaackitone100% HRT including TESTOSTERONE
i very gratefull to you!! i dont speak english very well. But i traduce. im from uruguay. i been carnivore since february 2020, and i apreciate to see all of you women and your comments and advices. thank you so much.
I’ve been carnivore for 8 months. Was keto for years prior. Also was on HRT since 2020. I went off all supplements, including HRT before my surgery, which was last September 2023. I was wanting to get off HRT, but was worried about what symptoms I might experience. It was a breeze for me. No problem at all. Never went back. I feel great. I think being full carnivore is what made the difference for me. When I started taking HRT in 2020, I definitely needed it and a felt better. I also had adrenal fatigue. I didn’t sweat when I exercised!I stopped using Flonase, started taking iodine everyday and stopped the intense cardio. Now I focus on long walks. No sunglasses, squats weights and animal based diet. I feel great.
I’m a 70 year old female carnivore (5 years) and totally agree with all of you. I do not take any medications or supplements. Thank you so much for this discussion‼️ Be safe & healthy❤️😷
What foods are you consuming? Any fish too? Veggies at all, or strictly meat? Thank you! 🙂
Hi, mostly meat 👍
@@SCM1949 TY! 🙂
So good to hear from women in my age group! "Patience' is not my strong suit, but these ladies might just change that. 😊
What other choice do you have? :)
Let’s not forget about caffeine and it’s negative effects on the adrenals.
I’m on HRT and it has saved me. I had zero estrogen and progesterone. I think we are all different. I was so sick I could barely drive. I thought I was dying.
Same here - I literally felt like I was dying too. I feel so much better now.
Zero estrogen and progesterone now too, thinking of going on HRT, horrible hot flashes , profuse sweat, even during the day and high cortisol. I put on 19 lbs in 1 year and 1/2, it’s misery, it is causing me so much anxiety… On my second week of carnivore diet.
@@valeriegorham4396 do you still in carnivore? How is it going? I’m in my 5 th weeks my hot flashes are back, so much inflammation, body aches 😢
@carladiaz757 , hi Carla, I feel great!
I’m a little over three months and I feel great! I have lost over23 lbs and still losing, I think I will be able to get down to 118lbs real soon, that was my weight when I got married 30 years ago!
I have great energy, my IBS is gone, anxiety gone, no more pain in my bowels and I just started doing intermittent fasting this week for 38 hours, going like a breeze! No more low blood sugar I am stable and my blood pressure is back down to normal! Yeah! 120 over 74.
It was a little hard the first month but got easier as time went by. I have no sugar craving at all!
When it comes to the hormones, I am on bio identical hormone replacement therapy and feeling so much better already! I am me again! Don’t give up!
I am 58, if I can do it, so can you!
Feel free to message me if you need encouragement.😊
Merry Christmas!
@@carladiaz757 see my response under your post!
I'll be 38 Thursday and I'm hoping to be in the best shape of my life by the time I hit 40
Very true about menopause - I was really suffering for 5 years went into menopause at 45 - once I went Carnivore .... wow all my menopause issues disappeared, especially the hot flushes. If I break this and eat carbs - they come back straight away.
Do you just do meat or anything animal products?
I am 54 and had severe symptoms ,mood swings and heaps of waves of hot flushes after a hysterectomy. HRT saved my life! I did Keto for two years and Carnivore now only a month. Still on HRT scared to come of it. Finally loosing weight and beginning to feel like me again 😉
I'm right there in the same boat
Yes, me too! I would love to not have to take a pill, I am only on half dose but without them, I am miserable and I tried to stop them in the past and was really awful way to live so I’m scared to go without, hoping down the road that this way of eating will make it possible to not need them , but I can relate to your experience.
Oh my goodness, I just had hysterectomy. Looking for comments like this.
@@angelagrant2943 I had a radical hysterectomy (everything taken out) 5 months ago. I had cancer and can't do HRT. I'm 55 and just transitioned into a Ketovore lifestyle a couple of months ago. My hotflashes have significantly improved after I quit cheese and cream! I mean, I noticed it within a day! I am still using grass fed butter, but will ditch it too to see if it makes a difference.
Lynette Barrett would love to know a year on now, are you still on your HRT? Just asking because I’m transitioning to Carnivore and currently take HRT (a patch that has E&P) and am scared to go off them. I’m 59 and have been on HRT for 18 months
I am a woman carnivore!!💋🌺🧚♂️🦋💥💫 My health is amazing!!
Alba Maria del Valle 2 years this Halloween. My husband and I both started 2 years ago together.
So glad you guys are talking Adrenal Fatigue and carnivore 🙋♀️here I am
I am so grateful for my bio-identical hormones. Just wanted to weigh in. I agree with Dr Jamie Seeman. Get the hormone test and help your body balance if you need to.
if your life is unlivable, by all means take whatever medicine you need!
I’m on week two (again) starting carnivore. Getting through the initial fatigue is the hardest part for me. Then I heard Kelly say, “I’ve been a carnivore a whole 45 minutes and I’m still not healed!” I cracked up that directly applies to me-
I enjoyed this entire episode ❤❤
Would love to hear more from the older, experienced crowd. We’re often the invisible people in society, yet we’re still very much a part of.
For women who breezed through menopause, great. To say those of us who are dealing with severe symptoms are not necessarily unhealthy, I’ve been eating properly for years.... I can deal with the hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. What I cannot deal with is vaginal dryness and the pain that is associated with it, depression, weight gain, achy joints. HRT terrifies me but I am going forward with it to see if I can manage the overwhelming symptoms. Please do not make women who desperately need help feel like they are doing something wrong or label us as unhealthy because we aren’t joyfully going through this process.
Hang in there. You have been dealing with so much stress. Keep doing you! N=1 right. Take care love.
@@kelliekresse5710 check out menopause taylor on you tube. she offers up all options. she is an actual physician. she believes in menopause your way.
Bioidentical HRT is a lifesaver. It's not just about the hot flashes. Estrogen is so much more in your body!
@Keto For Real Life People
BioHRT was a game-changer for me!! I would not go without it if it's needed. No shame in replacing what is natural in the body. Like Dr. Jamie Seeman says, consider it like biohacking!!
I am 75, did HRT FROM ABOUT 45 TO 55., Made such a difference, just do my lovely, don't suffer xx
I have been carnivore for 20 days and since around day 2 the hotflashes have increased hugely in intensity and frequency
I’m 52 and only carnivore for 2 months. I love how I feel. No bloating, gas or joint pain. I’m also more clear headed and alert now. I went through menopause around age 49 & did experience very bad hot flashes. I still have them occasionally now. I am also really against taking any hormones. I love being off of the mood swing roller coaster which happens after menopause. I had 8 children and nursed them all for around 2 years each. I’m not loosing tons of weight, but my love handles and tummy fat are definitely going down. My skin feels more supple too. I love hearing all of you lovely ladies telling your stories. God bless you all and thank you for your witness!
Hi Kelly, I'm 77 and have been zero carb for 7 months. I went through menopause in my late forties. Last month I presented with symptoms of having a period. I had pressure like I used to have right before a period and one incident of spotting. This month I had hot flashes for three or four days. Not sure what's going on but I'm assuming my hormones are healing. I used progesterone cream for about 20 years but stopped on February 2, 2020 when I started zero carbs. My 7 month ZC journey has been amazing. No more Afib, irregular heart, hypertension, hypoglycemia, enzyme, or depression. I'm down 11 pounds and one size and off all Rx medication. ZC is amazing and has been easy and delicious.
I don’t intend to scare you, but post menopausal bleeding can be a symptom of uterine cancer. Please see your doctor.
Hi Mary, I am reading your comment because I searched a similar topic. I am 58, havnt had my period in 2 years. After 4 months carnivore it came back for a visit. My gyno wants me to have a biopsy next week but I really believe its diet related. How did your situation work out?
I have now been ZC for three years February 2nd. I have had no more issues with hot flashed, etc. I increased the amount of fat I was eating and my hormones healed. I recently did my second interview with Judy Cho if your interested in my carnivore journey. You can put Mary Fields carnivore in the RUclips search to find it.
Here's the link to the interview with Judy

I would get tested to rule out Uterine cancer or any gyno cancer.
I am one of those newbie carnivores that did lose weight right away. I had been doing keto for 2.5 years and doing just okay on that - I obsessed about everything while on keto! I did not have a lot of weight to lose (dropped 12 pounds in first two weeks and have stayed around there, 8 weeks in now). Enjoying the positive changes to my body, health and mind and looking forward to what comes along as I practice patience and just stay on this track on the journey ahead. This video helped in so many ways, especially reminding me that there is great support online in the carnivore community. ZC is saving me too, it is just sad that my family, friends and coworkers think it’s going to kill me. I wish more people that I knew would be open-minded to seeing the benefits of this way of life and what it could do for them. Thank you to all of you.
They just wish they could give themselves enough willpower to do the same. Usually they’re envious & many want to see you fail. Keep on keeping on. You’re never going to change them except to keep modeling how fabulous you feel & look
What an excellent video! I will be rewatching it at least every three months since patience is not one of my virtues! Almost 3 months carnivore and never going back! 🥰
Even though this interview was recorded two years ago, with just starting carnivore January 7 of this year (2023) I find this information so very interesting. Really admire all of these women! Kelly, I love how you put the notes on the screen!
I just turned 60 and have lived a clean lifestyle for over 15 years. When we first started our clean, green journey we followed the “super food longevity” dogma which was all about adding more vegetables and juicing! I felt like crap! Mind you I have never been a sugar addiction but I do love carbs when it comes to potatoes and wine! Never been a fan of bread but my Hubby is a sandwich king! Then I read Suzanne Somers books about ten years ago and we started HRT. I had the middle age spread that I could NOT loose any weight! Also I was starting menopause. With HRT I felt better but the weight was still an issue. So I stopped HRT last year because I was through menopause and did not feel that I need it anymore. I also read about nightshades and the toxins in plants so I told my husband that I was done with the “super foods” because they were just bloating me, making me constipated and I really don’t like them (my body was trying to tell me this for years)!!! Tried keto and it didn’t work because I was trying too many replacement bread recipes for Hubby and a lot of these recipes use too many fats and sweeteners. So now we are mainly carnivore. It has NOT been hard at all! MAINLY because I have always cooked and we eat at home 99% of the time. On the rare occasion that we do eat out, it’s a nice restaurant with great food and atmosphere! Then we to indulge in carbs a little, mainly with a bottle of wine. YES this lifestyle has been an ever evolving journey and each change we make has been an improvement! Thanks for such a great video and topic!
I lost weight on keto and I am mostly carnivore now. I am continuing to lose weight. I feel great. I have always ate mostly meat in my life with some carbs. My menstrual stopped at 55 and I never got any symptoms of menopause. No hot flashes or anything. I will turn 62 next month. I have never taken hormone replacement and never will. Carnivore with no carbs is a way better way to be healthy.
I’m sooooo happy for this video. This is not the first time I’ve watched it and it won’t be the last.
I haven’t gotten on the scale. I’m noticing that my two belly rolls are shrinking and the “newer” one on the top is now smaller than the “older” one below my navel…and that’s enough to be happy when combined with all the other good changes. And this is only at 6 weeks carnivore. It’s only going to get better from here.
These changes alone are making me amazed at how wonderful my body is, how amazing it is that once I started giving it the right fuel, it immediately set about evicting the sugar, reducing the inflammation.
My body is a warrior and it’s been battling for a long time and I just didn’t know it yet. Now it’s winning the fight because it’s finally gotten the backup it needed through the REAL proper human diet.
It's great for those who do not need HRT, but I think I will try it if needed, because yes, menopause is natural, but nature throws women in a dumpster after it does not need us anymore for reproductive purposes and I am not so ready to accept that. It's not only about feeling good and not having hot flashes. Yes, if carnivore helps with lack of estrogen - induced osteoporosis, cardiovascular risk and dementia risk being increased (and even skin dryness or other types of dryness) by no longer having estrogen and you are sure those are not a problem for you, ok go natural, but I do not think nature "cares" about individuals, it cares about the species. So I need to care about me not and only about my species (reproducing and then going to the dumpster).
Great show as always, thank you Kelly, you are great and the ladies had great insights, but I will go with dr. Fit and Fab :-) - Thank you for that show also.
100%agree...HRT has so many benifits which are so beneficial to our long term health... I wish I'd taken it earlier.. 👌👌
Dr Louise Newson has a menopause channel on here and talks a great deal of sense re HRT. I completely agree with your comment x
I've found my tribe! THANK YOU. From Australia.
If you need info on menopause I would start with the Australasian Menopause Society website or Jean Hailes. I am a Karnivore (Kiwi carnivore) also a sheep and beef farmer and on HRT. Although these ladies are lovely and have lots of info on being a carnivore or zero carb they are way off on hormone deficiencies!
Just seeing how you ladies who've been ZC since before menopause & have experience barely ANY meno symptoms, that right there speaks volumes! I'm 53 & been in menopause since 45.. I swear I'm to the point of applying for disability due to the brain fog, mood swings, hot flashes, etc. I can't even hold down a job! Gaining wait like crazy.. & have had ZERO interest in any kind of social or sex life whatsoever for about 5 yrs. It's looking like this is where my life needs to be headed...asap!
The comment about “turning the freighter” (20:00) is exactly right. That’s what I saw a few years ago when I began to reclaim my health with Pealo eating. I’m Carnivore now.
Well, I'm 64 and I started Carnivore about 1 month ago. I've lost 13lbs. I'm not hungry all the time and I feel great.
Ditto for me also. I’m on board this train, it’s a work in progress but almost carb free.
All of you ladies have beautiful skin & vibrant energy. Very encouraging! Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you, Kelly, for bringing all of these amazing women together to talk about menopause. I'm in my early 40's and have been looking for mentors and information. Found your channel about a month ago. So excited, thank you!
Thank you ladies! I needed the reminder that I ate the SAD for years and it's going to take some time to heal. I'm working on practicing patience. So nice to hear I'm on the right track, I've been carnivore for almost 16 months I'm feeling better, in mood, allergies are gone, skin is clearer, and I'm stronger, I have the strength 💪 to do more than I have in years! I'm not as small as I'd like to be but hey, the scale is just a number.
Really enjoyed this video with you five wonderful ladies. Thank you. I have been carnivore for 5 months now. The healing benefits have been amazing and there is no way on earth I will ever eat carbs again. My chronic IBS is completely healed, my menopausal symptoms have completely gone, my mood has lifted, my teeth are better (so much so that my grown up son visited at Christmas and asked what work I had had done on my teeth!!!) and my mood is more stable and happier. My husband is managing his diabetes through low carb now and his mood swings have completely gone away. This has been our miracle. However, I have put on 4kg in weight. This has been quite stressful to me. I have even tried a three day butter fast but I was so hungry that my low mood started to come back. Plus, goodness knows why, but I put on another one kilogram.
So here I am in my journey and after listening to you five I have decided to try to chill with all this and just eat meat when I am hungry. I do so hope that I lose this weight soon.
Thank you all for this conversation. I am 58, post menopausal and wondering if I will ever feel energetic again. I would say I’ve done keto, but I haven’t. The best I could say is low carb. But I’m starting radiation treatment next week and have read clinical studies showing increased effectiveness of treatment with the keto diet.
So I’m saying, thank you for the encouragement of seeing all these amazing women who have found good health. And thank you for reminding me this will take time. I started this past Monday with 95% meat and eggs, but also some cheese, and a small salad at night with my spouse.
Hope you are doing well!
4:51 Respect for the admission and the understanding that you’re going there and need info to be prepared. 🙏🏿
really love this! this woe is a life change. it isn’t something one does on a whim. i’m the only one in my social sphere (family, friends and colleagues) doing this woe and i’m sick of ppl asking me how long i plan on doing this. my auto response is i feel great and will continue until i don’t benefit anymore. this is a struggle at times as the numbers on the scale don’t move much but i see other changes. also, i remind myself my past choices got me that way and i can’t expect an overnight fix with this woe.
Shared this with my wife.
I hope she gets on board
It was so nice to see you lovely ladies & to hear your experiences & opinions on this particular subject. I do find it interesting that none of the menopausal ladies feel the need to supplement hormones for longevity / disease inhibition though. I had already gone through 5 yrs post menopause & I was eating a regular diet at the time. Honestly, I felt fine (sleeping well, no hot flashes, etc)...I didn't really have any issues going through perimenopause or menopause. My new functional medicine dr that totally supports keto & carnivore (but doesn't think it solves everything), has just started me on bioidentical hormone replacement. I'd never known that we needed it, until I did my own research as well. There is alot of scientific evidence pointing to the need to supplement for optimization of hormones as we age & I agree with Dr Jaime on this. The supplementation of bioidentical hormones can protect you from a myriad of diseases & deterioration as we age. I became cv for longevity & overall health,but I don't think it's the answer for everything. I'm 5 wks into carnivore & I've gained 3 lbs. I'm praying my body is just healing (like you experienced Kelly😉) from auto immune disease & recovering from habitual calorie restriction & that I'll soon start losing some of the 25 lbs I've gained in the last few yrs, probably due to my hashimotos. I think there's alot of false information out there & we each need to make our own decision, but we also need to do the research & talk with our drs that are knowledgeable on this area...not just follow any certain dogma. That would be no different than the decades of people following the vegan dogma & thinking that a particular diet solves everything...but to each his own. The scare tactics resulting from false information (&the bad estrogen was not bioidentical, it was produced from horse urine)that is still being spread, is doing an injustice to alot of women that could benefit from bhrt. Anyways, thank you for all that you ladies do to help us newbies with regard to the carnivore diet! I love watching each of you!💓
Would be interested in any science on that in women that only eat meat." Protection" etc may only apply to plant toxins, hyperinsulinemia, anti nutrients etc. It carbs/sugar etc. that shorten life.
@@elizabethstern4812 I would like that too, but I guess the jury is still out🙄 & we just each have to make the decision, based on our own situation & personal beliefs, including the info we gather & choose to rely on. Considering I'm new to this woe, I obviously take the advice from you long term carnivores, based on your extensive experience & I appreciate it greatly, but with regards to menopause & taking or not taking bhrt - I have yet to find a carnivore with long term experience in that regard. I mean this with all due respect - I just don't feel like eating meat solves everything...& this has & continues to be my only issue with any groups' venues when it comes to advocating a certain lifestyle or way of eating..."just eat more meat" seems to be the answer that's given, for every dilemma. Obviously, our ancestors didn't have the option of hormone replacement,but that doesn't mean that we may not benefit from it... there are in fact, alot of issues that modern medicine can offer benefit from. I guess I'd like to hear from some rather elderly women, that are long lived carnivores & have been examined & show no signs of degeneration due to lack of hormones (osteoporosis, dementia, skin, heart, various disease/ cancer, etc) that could've been helped by supplementation of bioidentical hormones. I chose to switch to carnivore for overall health & longevity... the same reason I've also elected to supplement with bhrt... it's just a very personal choice. Anyways, thank you all once again for the thought provoking conversation...it was very interesting. 😉
The great part of the diet is your attitude and mood improves 100% within the first two weeks and this alone makes it worth while.
I totally agree!! And I Had no idea my all-day good mood and general happiness would be a byproduct of Carnivore! I did expect higher energy levels, losing tummy bloat and inches but I (also) did not expect much stronger libido ❤ I’m 60 and on day 50 carnivore. Can’t wait to see further ‘surprises’ by Day 100
Thank you for addressing stress so fully. It’s my #1 nemesis. I’m glad you mentioned Terry Rogers. She has helped an untold number of people including me. I’m lucky to have her as my neighbor. She has repeatedly loved me into ZC compliance. ☺️
It is very individual.. I eat healthy and I was a mess, within 30 days of HRT at age 62, it changed my life. I felt myself again. Sad that I suffered so long without it on the advice of my doctor.
I will be 62 July. And 2 years Ketovore. Off all meds. Down 87 lbs. Working on maintenance, and sagging skin. Can run circles around me 33 yr old daughter!
This is my tribe ! I've never taken anything!!
I really liked the honesty here. The hot flashes don't always disappear. The diet may need some tweaking. Not everyone drops 50 pounds instantly. We have years of damage that will take some time to repair. Stress could perhaps still get to us in one way or another in spite of eating meat and water. Thanks for bringing all of these women with their different stories and perspectives together to discuss this topic.
Dim gets rid of hot flashes. If you still have them it's just too much estrogen in your body .
I am 56 and I have been though menopause for 5 years now. I recently started using progesterone cream for pain during intercourse. It has been a great fix for my husband and I.
Fall break and binging Videos that I might’ve missed. This was fantastic. Such great advice from women I respect and admire. Not quite a year under my belt, but the improvements have been amazing. Feel better. Look better. Moving more. Weight down. Sleep better (used to have terrible RLS/insomnia). Digestion better. No UTIs (used to be chronic). Free from food running my life. Feeling so grateful. Thank you 🙏🏻 🙌🏻
How fantastic! What carnivore foods are you mainly eating? I just transitioned to this woe. Thank you!
@@lf7065 I eat steak, ground beef, lamb, pork, fish, seafood, ground turkey, chicken, bone broth, butter, and eggs. I do eat some dairy, but try to keep it at a minimum. I’ll also eat some lunch meat. I found some turkey at Costco that’s pretty clean. I hope you’re loving this way of eating. It’s been life-changing for me. The cravings were rough in the beginning, but I just ate meat anytime I wanted something. ❤️
I was so excited to see this was going to premiere. I couldn't wait to watch. Of course it didn't disappoint me! Thank you to all of you for this information!
I’m 57 and will be 58 July 1. I am starting carnivore. I have been extremely unhealthy for the last 20 years. In 2001 I had twin sons delivered by emergency c-section at 28 weeks. I had pneumonia and was severely anemic. My uterus was full of fibroid tumors and my monthly cycle was so heavy I stayed anemic. One twin went home at a month and a half while the other was in icu his first four months, two and a half of those on a ventilator. When I finally got them home each one had an apnea monitor and one had a pulse oxygen monitor and was on oxygen. It was just me and them. I was physically and mentally exhausted for the next 20 years. One of my twins was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a year old and the other was diagnosed with severe asthma. They are doing amazingly well now but I am just getting back on my feet health wise. I have 100 lbs to lose and want to be healthy. Finding your videos on the carnivore lifestyle has been a Godsend. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge so generously.
Hang in there , take care of yourself.😊
I started carnivore about 1 and a half years after menopause and all the hot flashes and other symptoms went away. 55 now, feeling great! No hormones for me because I have 2 genetic factors for dvt.
Great video. Just sticking my toe in the carnivore pool. What struck me was the part about patience....don’t expect rapid results it could take 3 years. What I say to that is I wish I had started 3 years ago. I’m 53 and have gained weight (menopause) recently in places I have never gained before that I have easily lost years ago on keto. So I’m a week in and feel good. Major objective is hormone regulation - I really believe the rest will fall in place.
At the time of this response, I've been doing carnival-ish for working on my 3rd month and I haven't loss a pound. I gained menopausal weight about 20lbs. and then about 15lb eating carnival. I am going to just keep on this journey. There really is no other option. I am going to keep doing this and be patient. I do not want to take HRT.
Turning 60 and did HRT for a few years in my early 50s. It helped me immensely.. I wasn't carnivore then which I think would've made a huge difference. Listen to your body. If it's interrupting your daily cycles try dietary changes first
I’m so scared to go back to this. I miss the simplicity of carnivore. 7 months into trying it I was fatter and sicker than ever, went to dr. After extensive bloodwork found out that I not only had hypothyroidism, I was in menopause and also developed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. 😟 I was put on different meds and told to start an AIP diet ASAP. I panicked and did so however, that lead me right back to keto which lead me to keto sweets and eventually cocktails while in quarantine and I’m back to feeling fat, sick and tired 😓 oh and did I mention insomnia. Anyway, you ladies really make me want to jump back in and try again. You are all beautiful and seem so youthful and healthy. I guess I have some serious soul searching to do 💜🌺
@4everPurple I was just diagnosed with being severally hypothyroid. There was no amount of Carnivore that was fixing that. I was about 2 years in and nothing was moving that. I have a genetic component that was not helping me, as my mom was hypothyroid since age 9. I had been fighting with doctors to look at my thyroid for about 30 years. For all I know I might have been the same as my mom since childhood since my depression goes that far back and a lot of other symptoms. I have started Thyroid, and getting refocused on carnivore. I had fallen off due to the absolute nothing helping me and feeling like crap all the time. Getting all the carbs out of your body will definitely help your body to recover faster and your Thyroid medicine take affect. Dr. Berry's wife Niesha had the same things you are talking about. I encourage you to watch some of her stuff on RUclips, but she is now doing fantastic. She has been able to go off her thyroid. Mine is not autoimmune mine is my thyroid just not working. Basically my thyroid had stopped working or was producing so little thyroid that I couldn't function anymore! OMG! The depression and anxiety were off the charts and the migraines were crazy, and inflammation was also off the charts. But also my throat was swollen about as big as my whole head, and you could see the start of a goiter. My entire face was swollen, and my eyes had become so small because of my swollen eyelids and stuff. I was very sick when I was diagnosed! It didn't happen overnight. I didn't get to a 10.7 TSH over twice the normal range of TSH in my system. Why weren't doctors running full panels, how did this get overlooked.
Anytime you are eating sweets even with no sugar, you are creating an insulin response as if you are eating sugar. That is why your not doing very good on Keto. If you want to do Keto, then do it very clean without any substitutes. That said, veggies can make some people very sick. I am one of those people. I went Keto, but couldn't eat veggies as I would be in pain for 7 days after 3 bites of a veggie of any type. Therefore I defaulted to Carnivore. Although, I cheat sometimes and eat avocados and olives (they are fruit) because I love them. I was born and raised in California and never eating an avocado is not an option to me. Yeah, I have guacamole in my fridge right now! I call myself a ketovore. Hope this helps and I hope you see it as I am a bit late to this video.
@@RiverWoods111 how are you feeling these days?
@@RiverWoods111 how is everything going for you now? Are you full carnivore or ketovore?
Dessicated natural beef thyroid hs helped many women with Hashis and hypothyroid. neisha (Dr berrys wife) has a Yt channel. Hope it helps.
@@angelagrant2943 I’m so sorry I never saw this question until today. I’m still in the same boat, but I’ve learned soooo much over the last few years that o am now doing my own keto-carnivore-psmf kind of eating. Feeling better each day 💜
A fantastic upload Kelly! Some great ladies as well. I'm 48 and in perimenopause and this has been so helpful.
I am 68 years old went thru menopause @ 59 yeas old with no hot flashes or mood swings. I was a low carb vegetarian for close to 50 years. EAVEN AS A CHILD i AVOIDED SUGAR BECAUSE i COULD FEEL THAT IT MADE ME FEEL MOODY AND IN MORE PAIN. In 2021 I stared keto and have been carnivore for 3 weeks. I have lost weight but I want to put it back on as soon as I can . I have never been over weight so I was surprised to start losing weight so fast on carnivore.
I have had a lot of pain most of my adult life from a serious neck and head injury as a child.
When I first started carnivore my back was getting ready to go out and I was in in massive pain. On day 2 I woke up with my pain 95% gone. Now, my pain is 99% gone.
My skin is mush improved. People always tell me that I look younger than my years even before carnivore. I smile more and it seems like men of all ages have been noticing me a lot lately. It feels good to be noticed but I am married so I am not looking for more attention from men.
I have been using a home made tallow cream on my skin and I think that has helped my skin a lot. Everyday it seems like I find small improvements. I can't wait for next summer at the beach.
Oh, I so needed to hear about the timeline of "eat the meat". We do live in the time of instant gratification. Starting back on carnivore. I need to think of lifetime change. Thank you for this video.
I’m excited to hear that exercise has helped with the transition. I had my routine change and I stopped running daily (HIIT), seems I need to get back to that not just for hormones and weight management but also for mental health. Great info, thank you!!
So glad y’all did this video! It encourages me to keep on carnivoring on!
awesome!
Sometimes you can eat the most amazing clean carnivore woe and still need hormone replacement.
Each person is very definitely different with extremely different life situations.
Ive been diligent for decades with no change in my hormone levels and have most definitely needed hormone supplementation.
We are not unhealthy because our hormones are imbalanced. If a person has had too much stress , death and trauma, the body can only take so much of this without effect.
There are risks not taking them and risks taking them.
Also there is not only oestrogen and progesterone. There is dhea and testosterone too which have an enormous effect if too low.
Exogenous hormones can make life worth living if needed.
I'm just plugging along... I'm not really losing weight here early on. I'm still new at this total carnivore thing. But I had a success today in friends from church taking me out to lunch. I was able to order just the meat on the plate, please, enjoy a ribeye steak, sippin' my way through 2 club sodas, having great conversation with great people. And I am going to keep going with this. I'm going to keep hoping for benefits over the next month, the next year, the next decade, etc.
About hormones and my cycle, I have thought several times over the last several years that I must be starting menopause and then something always happens that brings my cycle on stronger again later after I think that. Apparently all my times of my body have been "irregular" when I was young and all these times when I've thought I was starting menopause was just that my body was that unhealthy and/or that full of inflammation that my cycle was that much effected.
I'm 51. I will turn 52 in June. I've had it brought back on by extended fasting in the past. I've had it brought back on by acupuncture. (According to traditional Chinese medicine I'm NOT old enough for menopause. But I love my acupuncture and it does so so much for me I'm willing to go along with that.) And now as of this very month, being zero carb for just three or four weeks brought on a cycle that was closer to normal compared to almost non-existent last month. oh well. It seems as if it would be nice to never have to deal with that again. lol. But it is what it is and I am going for getting healthier and more functional in my life. That is what matters.
I have had health problems since birth. I always liked veggies and meats both. I didn't grow up indulging much of a sweet tooth. I ate sweets when I was served sweets. Or sometimes I even didn't like certain sweets and did not eat more than a bite or two. But as we all know there are lots of unhealthy carbs that are not "sweets" and I did eventually grow in my adult life to eat too much of some breads and pastas and to like some kinds of sweets ...while always switching doctors trying to find help for my 5 millions symptoms and syndromes and truly severe, life-effecting problems... and for the first 38 years of my life never finding one doctor smart enough to figure out that I have celiac disease. I have had several big traumas in my life. I know I am not alone. Lots of people can relate to just being unhealthy and struggling to be a happier person, struggling to be able to function at all like a "normal person".
Getting healthier, to be able to feel well, to be able to do the things in life that need to be done and maybe even the things that I just want to do, these are goals that many people would be amazed to be able to believe that the goal could ever be met. I want to do whatever it takes and have some quality of life. If it is possible, I will do it. Lord willing!
17 days into the carnivore diet, and I am loving the changes I'm seeing and feeling. Thanks for all the info and support, Kelly! You're beautiful, funny, well-informed and an encouragement at every turn!
I’m 47 and peri menopausal. My periods are becoming very irregular and I’ve had 2 hot flashes in the past 6 or so months. Before each hot flash I had had coffee to drink about an hour before hand. The 2nd time it happened I knew it was the coffee. I haven’t had coffee since and haven’t had a hot flash since. I don’t expect cutting coffee to completely stop them but it is definitely a trigger for me. Just a head’s up because I’ve read it is a trigger for many women. I’ve been ketovore since May and have lost over 70 lbs. since last December. Thinking about trying carnivore since I’m almost eating that way anyway.
Did you put anything in your coffee? Cream? Sugar? Or was it black?
I am over 60 and just found ZC. This video is super motivating. Thank you!
Awesome video ladies! ❤ I'm 46 yrs. old, and going through perimenopause, and started Carnivore on March 30th, 2023 & I feel great! ❤
P.S. I'm going to stop going on my scale every week.
❤wow! Couple years! Thank you I'm so relieved! I'm 2 years in and as much positive has happened, finally feel free of some of the symptoms. Plus able to stick with it and figure out what works.
Patience is the key for sure. Slow and steady wins the race. Someone once told me to think about the healing process in this way....For every year you have been eating a less than optimal diet, expect it to take at least that many months to heal. Of course, some will heal faster and some will take longer.
I'm carnivore (not 100% as I still have coffee with cream almost every day) for about 10months now. I haven't lost any weight, but I've definitely lost cm on my waist and hips. My breasts actually got a little bit bigger (hubby is happy). I feel so much better though, and stronger, than before. At the moment I don't do a lot of hard exercise, just basic strength training twice a week.
Stress is also an issue but since starting carnivore I've been more patient, able to handle situations better (coming from our two teenager boys whom I home school, as well as my husband - I think you can take their word for it). I have experienced a couple hot flushes before going carnivore (46yrs then), but ever since, I only have hot flushes (and cramps in my calves and feet) at night (now I'm 47yrs) when I've had too much coffee (4 mugs+) that day. I basically wake up at night, and within a couple seconds my body flashes with heat, then I slowly cool off, and within 10min. feel much better, and go back to sleep.
Dr. Ken Berry's advice of regularly taking iodine (or eating fish, but I sometimes react to fish/seafood) has also taken the breast tenderness away at "that time of the month". The next might be too much info for some, but my period has also become very heavy for the first two days, and then almost nothing. Also no cramps, breast tenderness is better, mood is better, a tiny, little bit of PMS at times - not always.
I felt that I had to share my experience here as I'm struggling to find more information w.r.t. peri-menopouse/menopouse while being a carnivore. I'm not big on social media and groups. And yes... I'm trying to cut coffee down, and hopefully will get there in a month or two's time.
I hope somebody talks about hysterectomy and menopause.
Me too! I had a hysterectomy in Dec and YIKES...I put on 20 pounds in 3 weeks and then another 10 pounds...and the fat is in place it has never been and it won't budge :-( Been eating carnivore for 2 months feeling better but of course the scale is not moving. It is hard not to focus on the scale when that is how you have based your success for YEARS! I know I am not going to look like Kelly at 272 pounds sooooo the scale is still telling a story!
Me too. I'm desperate.
@@frankieweber7144 omg... having exactly same here!!! Do u use estrogenpatches???
Cheryl Little no I stopped using anything.
Had my full hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. Having a hard time such different info out there. They put me on a low dose patch.
Great hearing about actual experience from these very smart, grounded carnivore women! I'm sure this video will be a terrific resource for many for quite some time!
I definitely get hot flashes if I eat sugar or high carbs. I also flash if I am emotionally triggered. So focusing on my mental health and diet. I want to try carnivore. I currently gluten, dairy and almost grain free was eating rice sparingly. I have celiacs and hashimotos. I tried keto and it helped carb craving. I want my libido bad. It is none existent. I hear carnivore and bring it back. I do exercise. I walk and do yoga. I practice meditation. I sometime to intermittent fasting for quicker recovery with autoimmune flare. I am 56 years old and wt 130 lbs.
I just turn 60 and am in day 50 of carnivore + black coffee daily. By day 30, I was really surprised by my much-increased libido! So is my husband , definitely try carnivore a few weeks and I bet you’ll have your libido back!
HRT is the answer
i just started pre mesopause and this has saved me. wish would have covered more symptoms but it helped a lot. thank you.
I’m 60 & when I started Keto almost 2 years ago my hot flashes stopped & I felt great. I was doing things I couldn’t do in my 40’s. I started carnivore 2 months ago because I was having horrible cravings, hot flashes started back up, I must have been doing something wrong. I did carnivore for a month before throwing in the towel. I am going to try it again and do chicken and fish more and see if that helps. I had a hysterectomy in my 40’s and suffered through the hot flashes w/no HT and I really wish I would have known about Keto or Carnivore at that time. Thanks you so much for this ladies, it has really helped.
Wondering if you needed more fat? From what I read but I’m np expert. How r u now?
Emergency hysterectomy May 2020 at age 61. Dr said no need for HRT, lost 15 pounds, no hot flashes, night sweats or other symptoms. Had been low carb/keto 4 years. ZC sounds so much easier.
Great video, thank you. I was disappointed that menopause due to a full hysterectomy wasn't covered. I believe a lot of women fall into this catagory and wonder if the symptoms and carnivorous cure or management would apply to them. I have been suffering terribly from hourly extreme hot flashes for 12 years. I stopped HRT 6 months ago. I have been hoping ZC would help but I've not had any relief yet. Could this issue possibly be addressed in a future video? 8 months ZC, aged 60, with many other amazing health improvements.
Ask ut obgyn about "cooling pills" game changer
@@cheryllittle7578 thank you but I want to minimise tablets, remedies, potions and herbs. That is why I stopped HRT but thanks any way.
If you don’t want to take anything and you’re already full carnivore, what other options are you considering? I’m not even sure where to begin? I don’t know of any full carnivores who have had this procedure and Dr Seeman already gave some options for people who are struggling. I’m just not sure other than diet, lifestyle changes, or pills what more I could possibly recommend. If you find someone or something that’s helpful, please let me know and I’ll be glad to pass it on. ❤️
We couldn't speak on what we haven't experienced, sorry
great video ladies, I recently joined the zeroing in on health Facebook group and I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of the community, thanks to all of you for sharing your experience along the carnivore journey. Much gratitude.
Just what I needed to hear as usual!!
I’m 75 and I love the Carnivore lifestyle .
I feel so much more calm, no more inflammation, great sleep, early to bed, early to rise, and energy off the charts.
I did Keto in 2017 and lost 34lbs in 4 1/2 months got down to 130… lowered my A1C to 5.1 from 6.4 .
The only thing with Keto was I got diverticulitis, so painful, from eating too many nuts, and 😱the fat bombs started putting weight on me . 🥀
I quit Keto cause my doc and daughter were really concerned about my cholesterol, but I should have never done that, cause I don’t believe cholesterol is all that bad.
When gained all my weight back and my LDL’s were even higher 297, than when I was on keto it was just 230, I said that’s it .
So, I took a ten mg statin at my doc’s request and brought my cholesterol down to 165, just by taking them every 5 days… But being frustrated with quitting keto I decided to do carnivore after praying and with Devine guidance… the 2 year sabotage was going down, and I dropped 18 pounds in 2 months and then I stalled out …so now my diet app says I’ll be 130 by Jan 14th instead of Dec.14th.
I was hoping to be 130 by New Year’s Eve cause I’m going to a wedding, but the stall set me back.
I’m on a losing streak again so maybe I’ll make my goal weight after all. Here’s hoping.
Love Carnivore even more than Keto, I don’t miss the veggie, they messed with my stomach. Good luck on your journey. It’s been great for me .
If I only had hot flashes and mood swings... Im 64 yrs.old, and after going through menopause 7 years ago, and having moderate symptoms go away for several years, out of the blue, I developed severe genitourinary syndrome. I experienced pain 24 hours a day, urinary urgency along with the anxiety of not sleeping and having a life changing health condition. BHRT changed my life when I thought I might never be well again. I have recently began a carnivore diet and I hope it helps my condition and maybe not have to take the hormone replacement but I am skeptical somewhat given my history and the severity of lack of estrogen.
So good! Very helpful to hear from these ladies in my age group.
So glad this came up in my feed today….i’m that chic that don’t have patience! I am taking one day at a time but sometimes I need to see results to keep me strong and focused. You ladies rock. Wish I can meet you one day. Hugs from Canada ❤
61, fit and fabulous. Sleep is great. Hot flashes for 10 years, but they are more “warm flashes”’ than anything too troubling. However, long term high intensity exercise has left my joints bone on bone. Not great but it’s where I am. 3 years keto, 6 months carni. Hoping with long term carni that some improvement will be noted.
Kelly you are wonderful at explaining and putting everything in perspective. Ty for that. So encouraging for many of us.
Excited for this!
Nice to see and hear you here Elizabeth. 😊 Meloe
Mesopause is about more then "symptoms" such as hot flashes and raging emotions. Menopause can have many deleterious effects on the body. It can change your eyesight, cause weight gain, cause sever enough bone loss to lead to osteoporosis, effect mental clarity and memory. Basically, Menopause can be a foot on the gas pedal to rapid aging. Mainstream HRT is made from horse urine, and can cause breast cancer and a host of other problems. Think about it, why would estrogen derived from a horses urine be something you would ever want to put into your body? What Dr. Seeman was talking about is Bio-Identical hormone replacement therapy, hormones that are biologically identical to ours. Bio-identical hormones pose far less risk to the women who use them. In fact, actress Susan Somers has been a quite vocal advocate of bio-Identical hormone therapy in both men and women. She is a breast cancer survivor and she has used them for years. Do you really think that Dr. Jamie Seeman, as a gynecologist specializing in women's health, would advise her patients to use any type of therapy that would cause them to develop breast cancer? Maybe, you could have her back again to answer questions and discuss this very important topic again, in more detail.
HRT isn't made from horse urine any more, not here in the UK anyway, it's made from Yams now.
@@dollydaydreamz7149 They still manufacture Premarin...literally from a pregnant mare. Bioidenticals are the way to go.
I LOVE bhrt! You literally do age when you lose your hormones...I don't care how clean a diet is. Yes, eating clean on whatever diet works helps but it isn't hormones.
@@luloops, I agree. Women age three times faster than men when our hormones begin to plummet quickly. Our hearts, bones and brain suffer. No perfect diet will produce more hormones. If you haven’t read the book Estrogen Matters written by an oncologist, it’s an eye opener.
Amazing and encouraging video. Thank you ladies. Keep up the good work cause you're making a difference.
Same...I had been zero carb for about a year when I went through menopause and had the same experience as Dana. I am also 53 at the time of this comment.
Hi ladies 👋 from Vancouver, Canada 🍁 I'm 55 and menopause since 53 and still trying to find my way
Bioidentical HRT worked for me on all of the menopause symptoms along with carnivore. Also ladies have your thyroid checked.
This was the video I needed today and it’s 2 yrs old. Thank you for making this video. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. 😊
G’day from Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you ladies for being the leading forces for Women and the Carnivore lifestyle. I have only been carnivore (not strict though) since the 12 of August and already I have found that carbs are definitely not for me. I’ve been struggling with the shift but I’m coming out the other side. I don’t use scales, I use clothes and so far I’m doing a bloody good job at shrinking. I’m excited to see where my body ends up but most importantly I’m excited about feeling amazing and healthy.
Juanita, it can take a few months to really feel the benefits of carnivore. The hormones need to stabilise and fat adaption isn't a quick thing. If you have auto immune issues, expect a lot of healing to take place first. It wasn't until my 5-6th month that I felt fully adapted to it all. Best of luck. ❤
I could listen to these women every day! They’re amazing!!
I am in pain, autoimmune disease constant inflammation to the point disliking life. I did Carnivorous for 100 days, the pain stopped and restart again and other adjusting issues, I thought I am recking my health. So I stopped and back to normal diet, symptom worst, unbearable so back to carnivores again. At least there is change and the pain was manageable. For my case No choices’ hope I would feel better after few months and year. If it won’t work, life is unbearable😢
Kelly, how do you look so amazing girl! WITHOUT LOOSE SKIN!!!
We need a lot of this. All you see on RUclips are these people losing tons of weight so fast and not much on those of us that has had hormonal imbalances for a long time. I think it gives people false hope of short-term results.
I’m on hrt due to severe hot flashes. Every 15 minutes around the clock. No sleep! I never wanted hormones but feel forced. The argument for taking them is humans weren’t supposed to live much longer after menopause and estrogen prevents osteoporosis and dementia. I would like to get myself healed and then I’ll consider getting off hrt but the hrt is helping me, night and day difference.
I do worry that the synthetic hrt will inhibit weight loss but I’m trying to not worry about it since my number one reason to be carnivore is to rid myself of severe carb addiction, joint pains, skin rashes. One day at a time.
Christine. 11 months on. How are you travelling?
I really needed this video. What great motivation to stick to this WOE.
