I'm 70 and have eaten carnivore for over 4 years. I work out in a gym usually 2 hours a day. I expect I will escape the assisted living home for a while. The nursing homes situation is the result of 60 years of propaganda from the government, medical and food industries and some religious groups. I'm so glad to have found you, Dr Baker and Dr Ken Berry.
My mum is 82 and I am pushing meat on her. She still eats sweets but she has reduced them and knows they are bad but she is eating 1000% more meat than she would get in a nursing h9me. I used to work in nursing homes and I promised my parents that they would never end up in one. My dad died 17 years ago and I reiterated my promise to look after mum and I think that eased his mind. My mum recently sold her house, she lived in the country about a 4 hour drive away, and built a “granny flat” in my back yard.
Right behind you. You are an inspiration! I'm older by a couple years (72) and on carnivore almost one year. LCHF for 3 years before that. Work out at the gym three days a week. I am so very grateful to feel as strong and sharp as I did at 35.
And let’s not forget about the film industry’s incessant portrayal of people (mostly women) as being totally useless humans who are over 50. Just let your imagination wander over to “the old man and his dog “ vs. “the old woman and her cat”……. Which one comes to mind with respect? ad infinitem.
I'm 60 years old. There is so much dementia in my family and my sister who is a pharmacist says it is just a part of aging. I eat the carnivore diet and I tell my kids that I'll be a feisty old lady and won't be getting dementia nor will I be getting feeble any time soon.
@@marlenegold280 Seed oils, high insulin, etc also increases risks of Alzheimer's and dementia. My mother has dementia but has never been on any drugs. Yes, my sister is wrong. She is a pharmacist and 'educated', but has a closed mind.
I have a friend who's caring for her mom with dementia. I noticed she had a load of boost in her cabinet. I told her she shouldn't give her mother boost because it's just sugar milk with a bunch of low quality artificial vitamins. She said she her doctor said she should drink it. About a hour later her niece came in the room complaining that the mom refused to drink that CRAP and actually poured it out. Her mom is smarter than her doctor 🤔
I just posted a comment that I wish Keto Chow had a prepared drink/meal replacement product on the market for that reason. If your friend is open to making it, Keto Chow might be a really good alternative. I love that you can turn it into ice cream too because who doesn't like ice cream!
II'm close to 75 years old. I've been Carnivore for almost 5 years. I wore glasses at 40. Now I don't wear them. My chronic pains are gone. My PTSD is gone. My brain is getting healthier. My muscles are getting bigger. My workouts are great and I don't push excessively. My workouts are pressure less. I go in and do certain exercises. I don't get like I have to push hard. Sometimes I do a longer exercise time and other times I do less. I never feel like I didn't do enough. I am so peaceful.
Sadly, we will put man above God who created the human body. God's word tells us what to do to have longevity. It is so sad that people will not read the Word of God and learn from the Author Of Life.
My mom’s approaching 80 and has always been athletic and inquisitive. A few years ago I got her onto a keto diet and increasing her meat intake. Her bubbly personality came right back and she’s even begun to get back a bit more muscle tone. Nobody is immortal, but what I want for her and for all those patients in the homes is to live without chronic illness and dementia. Thanks for this conversation.
I am doing the same thing with my elderly parents. They are not fully keto but have substantially reduced their carb intake. They eat more meat now. They are healthier and happier.
My healthy 79 and 84 year old parents are stubborn! My mom sees my carnivore weight loss and is jealous but won’t do it. Still eating oat meal a few times a week. My dad seems pleased to be so thin and I’m like - “that’s sarcopenia and it’s bad! No wonder you get tired chopping wood! Enough with your cereal and orange juice for breakfast!”
My father started working out in the gym at 16 to correct his obesity. After the army he continued working out and eating low carb, no sugar. He grew up in the meat business, became a meat inspector and then worked as a butcher in the family biz. We always had great cuts of meat....leg of lamb, rib roasts etc. Through his 40s 50s and early 60s he ate steak and veg for dinner, big salad with blue cheese for lunch and coffee for breakfast. He worked out played tennis and loved trending his huge yard. In his late 60s his doctor convinced him to go low fat, nonfat, sugar free....all the heart healthy crap. He ended up with dementia mid 80s, died at 89 in very nice memory care place that served fruit juice, pudding, cookies, cake, pancakes, waffles, cereal, pasta, casseroles etc. He maintained his preferred diet of eggs and sausage/ bacon for breakfast, chicken Ceasars salad or hamburger patties and salad for lunch and protein and veg for dinner. I'm convinced his dementia was brought on by all the artificial sweeteners in his diet coke, diet fudge bars, nonfat dressings and a major lack of healthy fats. He only ate skinless chicken breast and the leanest steaks he could get. I believe type 3 diabetes is for real and the nonfat craze has starved a lot of brains
Any hint why the doctor recommended the change? I've never heard of a doctor pushing for change when things are going well. So, he didn't really go low fat, since you say he kept to his regime- but added diet coke, fudge bars and nonfat dressings?
@@sixtosanta9862 Maybe you can get her to reduce refined carbs on a daily or weekly basis rather than go cold turkey. I eventually got off sweets by limiting them to weekends and a couple of events a month. I did go overboard at times but eventually I experienced that life was better with less; I didn’t enjoy them as much, certainly not enough to justify how they crowded out real nutrients since I just don’t have the capacity to eat the amounts I used to. Good luck!
I'm 74 as well and I'm passing on the nursing home crap. I'm carnivore, in excellent health both mentally & physically and don't plan on that changing. I planning on passing away from being just too danged old with no diseases! haha!!
I’m 71, certified diet coach. For the last three years, I’ve had a facebook group of 8,200 carnivore dieters age 40 and above, the largest segment being 55 and older. We have lots of carnivore success stories. I’m in AZ, too.
As an assisted living center owner, it must make obviously great business sense to invest in keeping your tenants alive for longer, yet what this man is doing is revolutionary in our day and age. Crazy world!
He is crazy like a fox…It’s like reinventing the wheel. So commonsensical it’s in this world crazy. I have visited enough assisted living homes that it turns my stomach the amount of carbs shoveled at wonderful seniors. THE U.S.GOVT. Needs to wake up, IMPLEMENT this in SCHOOLS as well as NURSING HOMES. The current corporate farming tactics are killing our soils and need to be retooled. We need to increase the ranching industry and start feeding nutritionally dense diet (aka REAL protein not pea protein😣)… Exactly, restaurant industry shoves the most damaging food ingredients by Carnivore standards.
@@artsiecrafty4164 I worked as kitchen staff in a nursing home fir exactly one day. Seeing the three meals we served, and the menu for the week, I could not on good conscience participate in that. I quit, and went back to job hunting.
@@shmataboro8634 As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I taught a Bible class at a city ran home and one day they served bread, pasta with no sauce, and some other carby stuff. I think my shock was so visible that no outsiders were allowed in the dining room shortly after that!
My 83 year old mother is currently staying with me for a few months (she lives over seas and, as I'm unjabbed, I couldn't travel to see her for the last few years) and I have been gradually increasing her meat and fat intake over the last few weeks. She's had numerous serious health issues over the last 2 years (possibly jab related) and still got covid a few weeks ago. (I looked after her, took no precautions and didn't get sick...) This morning she was up before me and wanting to come with me on my morning dog walk. She ate a huge breakfast and then stated that she hadn't felt this well in a long time. Coincidence? She believes in the propagandised low meat, low fat diet so I'll just keep adding meat and fat until she notices! I'm a 3 year keto/carnivore and thriving.
@sportysbusiness4770 Please tell me what you're feeding her to add more meat. My Mom had a fall a few wks ago, so I'm staying on her couch. She just turned 80 and I've been trying to get her into low carb. She still doesn't remember what I can or can not eat though it's been 3-4 yrs ( I struggle sometimes since my husband isn't fully onboard with keto and he works at home and I am retired and home). Thanks
@@traceydooling3189 Falls are often “syncope” episodes. Syncope is a split-second “brain blackout”, which causes the person to either get “glued to the nearest wall”, or end up on the floor, not clear how they got there. What I recently figured out, is that certain medications, including the wrong thyroid pill, can cause syncope. Removing those drugs, often stops the syncope. Have you checked her meds for that reaction? Have you talked w/her doc about that likelihood? What flavors did she most like (savory? Sour? Sweet? Salty?) What textures did she like most? For increasing protein: what kinds of meats did she used to like? Find sources of pastured meats, & pastured eggs. In our area, places like grocery outlet, has saved us greatly off of grocery store prices. Our grocery outlet store has consistently tries to stock grass-fed, no antibiotic meats, & Uncured (no nitrates) bacon, & some pastured eggs. We find lower prices on cream cheese, sour cream-but, they rarely have organic dairy…we also shop the local CoOp grocery, to find organic local grow, dairy, eggs & meats, too. Use recipes that give her the flavor & texture preference she’s always liked most, at least to start. Keep it as simple as you can. If you need to chop everything into tiny bits, it can help eating it. If she likes soups, make soups. If she feels she has to have potatoes or rice…cook those, then chill in fridge, THEN rewarm it-that turns the starches in those, into “resistant” starch-meaning, it’s much harder to absorb the starches from those….but on a carnivore diet, it’s still starches, so, find substitutes, like cauliflower. Replace sweetening agents with a combo of stevia & monk fruit-find ones that are ONLY those-AVOID additives like maltodextrose, dextrose, erythritol, etc. Salt needs to be natural…sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, etc….NEVER the purified “table salt”. A good, mixed collagen bone broth powder can very much help. Look for one that has multiple types of collagen/bone broth, like I, II, III, IV, from bovine, poultry, & fish bone sources. One scoop is about 10 grams of protein. It’s a neutral flavor, so can easily be added to coffee, tea, or smoothies made of dark green leafy veggies & antioxidant berries. Look for Ghee-it’s essentially clarified butter, you can make yourself, or even get it from Costco-that has a long shelf-life at room temp. I like one from Mt.Capra; they also have numerous products made from pastured organic goat milk. They make a mineral whey powder too, that helps give needed minerals chronically missing from most folks’ diets. Also, virgin organic coconut oil-long shelf-life, & contains elements that help stop & reverse dementias & other things. If she’s willing to add kelps to her meat sauces, those are highly nutritious-or, can get tableted Icelandic kelp, if she hates the taste of kelps. But powdered kelps come in wide variety, & have varying flavors & nutritional content…but all have pretty much all the minerals we are otherwise lacking. One easy recipe we like, is to pan “sauté” a protein, in about a Tblsp. of ghee or coconut oil, w/onions & mushrooms, maybe celery, in water or broth. When the protein & vegges are almost cooked, I add a cup or 2 of water or broth, & let it simmer til cooked. Once cooked, I add a Tblsp or 2 of Nutritional yeast, & about the same of either tapioca starch powder (depends on how much water is in pan), or, about a tsp. or 2 of agar powder, to thicken…this is when I also add kelp powder or flakes, a Tblsp or 2….stir to disburse & thicken into a broth. Lastly, I adjust the saltiness w/tamari sauce-or Himalayan pink salt, because we like those. The nutritional yeast gives B-vits, & some minerals, most need it. I keep a jar of Vit. C powder near the cooking area, to adjust the sour notes in foods. When you properly adjust the sour, salty, fat & sweet notes in a recipe, it tastes MUCH better! It also helps provide needed Vit. C. Ketogenic diets need vitamin C added, unless you are eating fresh organ meats only lightly cooked. Muscle meats lack enough Vit. C. We also like poached eggs…but on a keto diet, regular bread is a no-no. But we sometimes cheat & use an organic whole grain sourdo toast, or, put the poached eggs on a nest of quinoa. We like deviled eggs, too. And we eat 3 or 4 eggs at a time. The bone broths/collagen powders, the mineral whey powders, make drinking our protein easy, too-especially if we need to hurry out the door & run errands. We use shaker cups with easily sealed sip-lids, to prevent spills. Ours have a loop on top to ease carrying it. Hope that helps!
Oh…forgot… I make a pudding from chia &/or flax seeds + coconut milk or hemp milk, & whatever spices we want, & sweeten w/stevia & monk fruit powders (Amzn). Sometimes I blenderize the seeds for a finer texture, or, leave them whole to allow chewing. If teeth issues, blenderize them! About 4 Tblsp. seeds + about a cup of a milk liquid, sets up into a pudding consistency-you might need to play with proportions. Or, we got premade seed puddings like this from our local CoOp grocery-they are shelf-stable til opened, & single-serving-so might also be available online. Our store Carrie’s vanilla or chocolate….but they use sugar-so, I make it at home, to use stevia & monk fruit, instead….& get different flavors. You could also add nuts, & some dried berries.
I was an activities, Director at nursing home. After being taken to a birthday dinner, where one of my residents was fed, rich food, and cake. She came and fell down in the hall for the first time and became very scared. When I heard about what she had eaten I knew what had happenedtoo much sugar. Thank you for your journey.
Love this so much! I just lost my mom recently and I was always shocked at what the hospital fed her. Ensure… What a joke. Our system needs an overhaul! Love that there are people out there who are doing this. My mom was someone that just wanted her sugar. She would probably still be alive if we had been able to change her diet like this. Keep up the good work out there in Arizona!
Oh wow! I'm a caregiver for over 20 years. I was also plant based eater. Meat was a no no. I've just stumbled onto this for arthritic healing. I'm looking forward to changes for my 60 yo body. This has inspired me to help other senior clients in the future. Thank you for sharing this! WOW!!
You’ve done me a favour today with your interview. Second day back on carnivore and now you’ve encouraged me to stay with it and so avoid a nursing home by getting my health back. I know it’s possible because for 5 months last year I saw the improvements in my overall health but gave into bread/pastry cravings. Regrets but happy to be helping myself again.
I opted ketovore (mostly carnivore) in August. Saw my mom (age 84) about a month ago and she couldn't believe the difference in my overall health, with the perk of weight loss, and asked for all my information on how to do this way of eating. Went on to explain the healthy benefits of losing all the sugar and processed foods, and now she is trying to eat this way too to maintain her health. She lives in a seniors condo building, and has seen a lot of her friends deteriorate and die due to health issues, so is very keen on being healthy and active as long as she is able. Great informative video. Thank you!!!
I am legal guardian of my 90 year old mother in a nursing home. She is on ZERO prescriptions due to me weaning her off of them 11+ years ago. It’s ridiculous what I have to go thru to get a supplement added (like Vit d) or to make a dietary change like “low carb, high fat.” Asking to change her to carnivore would most likely be an effort of futility and cause way too much stress on the “nutritionist.” Let her eat steak!!
The last nursing home I worked, most of the nurses ignored the “as-needed” doses of things like acidophilus to stop diarrhea, & only one doc who bothered to RX CoQ10 , only RXd a measly 10 Mg. His reasoning was, it was too costly for the family to afford therapeutic doses needed for a heart patient….even though CoQ10 was listed in the PDR (drug book), so Medicare could cover some of the cost. There’s every appearance that the commercial “healthcare” industries are in it for maximizing profits, NOT to actually help the clients.
@@Chimonger1 Kind of sad isn’t it?? They wanted to prescribe a laxative to my mom. PRN… And I said my mom is almost 90 years old and has never needed a laxative. I told them since she’s already on coconut oil and MCT oil (which was almost impossible to get started on her care plan) Just increase the dosage of the MCT oil to use as a laxative instead of a chemical or prescription that is used PRN. Seriously medical people…I have totally lost confidence in you.
@@karen1866 Exactly! You are very correct about MCT oil…& it’s kind to the liver! Worse, most folks, including elders, are deficient in magnesium-especially if they have heart dysrhythmias, or ANY kinds of muscle spasms, twitches, or contractures….simply give them magnesium threonate, as that form helps the nervous system best-but, can even use cheap Epsom salts as a laxative (used reliably for over 120 years!)…. …but Nooooo….they can’t be bothered to do that, because it’s not feeding PharmaChem, & insurance does not cover what does not feed that industry. Stuff like that, was why I went into traditional/Alt.healthcare, as some of my female forebears had. Old time docs, many had much more common sense-as long as they were not too heavily indoctrinated by Pharma yet.
Wonderful man! I worked in a nursing home from the age of 13 to 16 because my mum worked in them as she was a RN . After that experience I decided I would never ever go near one again. Horrible places and that was back in the 1970's when it wasn't nearly as bad. This guy is such a wonderful person.
I’m sorry your family chose to work in a horrible one, I work in an amazing one, why would you judge all of them horrible when you’ve only worked in one?
I’ve been carnivore for 2.5 years. My mom passed from dementia-related issues in 2013. Oh, if I could only turn back the clock. I realized many months ago that her diet had a huge hand in her decline. That, and her meds.
Retired critical care nurse, and lifelong sugar addict; I became an alcoholic for 15 months at age 51, went through treatment, and have been sober for 14 years. My initial denial of alcoholism evaporated when I heard a counsellor casually mention how many of the worst alcoholics were severe sugar addicts as children. As a child I existed on sugar. I haven't thought about alcohol since I got sober, but I thought about sugar EVERY DAY. That is, until I went on a carnivore diet 3 months ago, with one day per week of fruits and veggies (for a protein fast for autophagy). I will incorporate more veggies as I see fit, but limit fruit to 1day per week. I never even think about eating anymore! My weight is stable for the first time in my life. My brain fog is gone! I take no prescription meds, and my labs are perfect. Sugar addiction is a very real trap to fall into in life, and it only intensifies as you get older. Thank you so much for bringing this to light, and helping these people who desperately need an advocate like you!
You are spot on about the sugar and alcohol addiction. A lot of AA-ers are still so addicted to sugary foods. They're the same food. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏽
Hal’s genuine interest in his residents gives me hope for the first time, when I consider the options for my mother and her dementia and increasing needs. I didn’t think anyone like Hal existed in the industry- his care for seniors beyond $$ is commendable and means so much to me (even though my mom and I both live in Maryland). Thanks Shawn for shining a light on Hal’s work.
When I’m hungry a ground sirloin burger is delicious. When not hungry it’s unappealing. I suspect that those who find carnivore boring just aren’t hungry. Appetite isn’t hunger.
There's no way I can eat and digest the amount or any red meat as in carnivore diet so I go with more vegetables and eggs and sardines and avocadoes, some lean chicken for my 76 year old body. I live in asenior complex and I am trying to educate the service coordinator who is in charge of the coffee hour here and also the new property manager about what is provided to residents at coffee hours and events or town halls which is heavy on carbs and sugar and low quality food. People are ADDICTED to sugar and are lonely and have used food, especially comfort foods like potatoes, breads, desserts for some kind of quick fix joy. I am vety familiar with how hard it is to kick the habit. VERY admirable what Mr.Cranmer is doing. We need someone like him here. I have done a lot of research, unusual here in this climate of residents, on nutrition.
This is so awesome that you are talking specifically about this. I started my mother on pureed ground beef so that she would get some red meat in her diet. There are significant changes in just a couple meals
@@money4retirement I use a bullet blender and a bit of broth or water to make it creamy. Just remember that you will need to heat it up to keep the fat from separating after the blend.
Omg! I NEVER expected this interview to move me so much! I am currently 72 and in the early days of carnivore and doing very well. Weight has been a lifelong struggle and I’m glad I’ve lived long enough for this. But my real point is that as a young nurse I loved working with seniors and the response to care was abysmal. Yet, the caregivers muddled through and gave their best. I am overjoyed with Hal’s humanity and how he is expressing it. This interview has shot my optimism through the roof! There should be a medal like the Nobel prize for the work you all are doing.
As a former LTC nurse I agree with you very much! Would like to see all us like minded care givers find a way to collaborate and make these thing available to ppl who are motivated.
Oh how I wish I knew all this information when my amazing, intelligent, creative Mom got dementia - then alzheimers - If I knew ANY way to help her, I would have done it. She passed away in 2008 - I hope and pray that you help so many people and give them the quality of life to enjoy it!
I'm 60 and I'm convinced sugar is the common denominator for disease. I've been on Keto/Carnivore for about 6 months and got back on sugar over Christmas. I feel terrible again because of the inflammation. Going to double down and get off it again.
It unfortunately won’t be- I’ve tried opening a facility like this. People are hesitant due to cost, no insurance coverage, fear of leaving current “health care” model and family pressure. I tried REALLY hard but found it financially draining.
@@karen1866 the reason his is working is that he bought an existing business that was financially able to support itself and is slowly moving in the direction he wants his business to go - as opposed to trying to start a business from scratch that operates the way he wants.
Retired RN here. This is refreshing and really very encouraging. During my career I cared for many elderly patients and it was obviously a very sad experience. I called it warehousing humans. I did not want to specialize in geriatrics for sure. I always thought we should include activities that are "life." Going outside etc. I applaud your enthusiasm. Great job.
HOW AWESOME that this man cares enough about his residents to take on the task of trying to improve nutrition rather than allowing doctors to medicate them into oblivion!! I LOVE THIS!!! Our brains and hormones need cholesterol to avoid dementia. Kudos to this man for caring!! I’d love to see an update!!
Hallelujah hallelujah!! I pray this man is the most successful nursing home owner in the world. Helping the hopeless is according to God’s will. My father in law is in the nursing home and they feed him candy. He is so unhealthy
Oh my Alan ! I'm so sorry. I was appalled at what they fed my Dad the 4 weeks he had to be in an Assisted Living & Rehab Center. The food helped to finish him off. He had advanced heart failure, but I think he might have had another quality 6-12 months if we could have gotten him to eat a carnivore diet. He would bit have accepted it tho - even being a retired physician. He was too brainwashed from Med School. And my husband & I did not know about keto-carni back in 2015.
@@SteakmanTexas I hear you Alan. I have 1 elder left who we care for, who LOVES carbs ... & those carbs have damaged her health so severely, & they continue to at age 90! I'm sad too.
My Dad was 86, totally healthy mentally but had many health issues. I live overseas and when I heard his health was failing, that he was in hospital, I went home. They said after a surgical intervention, that he would be fine but would need to go into a nursing home just for a few weeks. My Mom had already passed way back in 2003, so he was alone. I thought he was in good hands, but as soon as I left his health deteriorated again suddenly & then he was gone. I wish I would have stayed and personally nursed him back to good health, even taken him with me back to my home. I myself just discovered the Keto diet right after his passing. I‘ll never know if I could have made a difference. So if your elderly parents are needing assistance, please consider Keto or Carnivore for them & yes - take charge, find a good holistic doctor that knows how to De-Prescribe meds. I do believe it was all the drugs and bad food that killed my father. His parents lived into their 90‘s and I‘m sure he would have had at least 5 more yrs.
I am sorry for your loss❤!😢My 94 yo mother belligerently doesn't want any dietary changes as she lives in the carb ditch. She has metastatic colon cancer but chooses to listen to her docs, not her retired Ob/ Gyn carnivore daughter!😢
Hey everyone I have been experimenting with cooking meat in mason jars in a water bath in my crockpot!! It’s “sous vide” style without plastic bags. It makes the meat EXTREMELY TENDER!! I’m missing a molar on both sides and chewing tougher cuts was pretty challenging. Also at first I needed HCL to help digest meat. A carnivore digestive track requires different bacteria/acid than the plant based folks. Eggs and BUTTER are always wonderful for the dentally challenged too😉!! I am very grateful/excited about what this guy is doing!! GOD BLESS HIM!
My Native American ancestors lived almost entirely on meat and fish and lived long healthy, active lives. My great great grandfather lived to 104 and had perfect posture. My grandmother went to residential school and learned how to make bread, pies, cookies etc. Her older sister did not go to residential school and same thing, perfect posture, lived to 101. Most of my relatives now have obesity and diabetes. This is because of bannock, jam, pasta, sugar and processed foods. We all need to live as close to nature as possible when it comes to food.
Your ancestors, in addition to what you’ve said, did well because their meat came from natural sources. Living close to nature is critical! Today’s meat sources are so “polluted” that I wish we would give it a different name, to distinguish it from natural sources of animal products.
Hal is an Angel. If only all 'care givers' cared so smuch! Thanks Hal and Dr Shawn. ( I went carnivor at age 66, and never , ...never felt better than I do now at very nearly 70 )
I had my elderly mum (now deceased) with Dementia (which is diabetes type 3) on the Bredeson protocol here in Ireland 🇮🇪 I learned so much about diet and have myself changed to a Carnivore diet. Now trying to persuade my family. It’s a slow process, met with resistance, But I’m determined to bring the reality to them!
Same here. Got 1 brother to get on board and he finally feels like a human again. We both lost a ton of weight.He had open heart bypasses and a couple stents so the doctors were puzzles about how he required a lot less meds and shed 100#s in the last year. Arteries were all clear as well on ultrasound and pet scan. All my other relatives blow me off. Being of Scottish descent I only tell them once. I figure they weren't deaf and heard me and weren't blind and could see I weigh 135# when 2 years ago I weighed 172. If they are too stupid to take the message I won't waste my breath anymore as many would rather die than give up sugar or soda.beer and whiskey. Sugar is just as bad no matter the form. Tell um once and if they die before you send a card because nobody was helped by anyone going to a funeral.
Thank you for this Dr Baker. I'm a cook in a senior community. Not nursing or assisted living. Often I see the start of decline physically or mentally. I am carnivore and have often wondered what implication of this diet would look like. This is what I needed to see. All the best!
Thank you so much for this interview. My 100 year old client was put on ensure but I was able to find Mark Bell's "Steak Shake" instead. It does have stevia for sweetener but it is better than anything else I could find. He loves it.
Soo true!! I have family questioning me about my blood work eating meat while they are sitting there eating bakery and all kinds of junk food… it’s actually comical
My mom is 96 and on hospice care. She has heart problems and had a mild stroke and came to live with us a year ago. She has been keto for the past 9 months. Just this week she decided to go full on carnivore and even removed dairy. She is feeling better than ever and does not need her walker anymore to walk across the grass short distances. She is loosing weight which will help her heart. She is sold on this. My fear is that I will leave her with sisters in 10 days and they are not hip on carnivore. Any suggestions? I have been taking her to the Y and she has been bouncing around in the water for 30 minutes and we go in the hot tub for 10. I even put her on some of the resistance training machines for a few rounds. She is so excited and has the will to live again! She feels her life has purpose. The last time we left her with a relative with clear instructions on how to feed her. They are recent converts to Seventh Day Advent-ism and they served her a mainly vegetable and plant based diet. So sad :( When we came home she was cranky and depressed. She's back to normal now and even better than normal! I am going to have her listen to this podcast today!
Enjoyed the discussion. I'm nearly 80 and have been carnevore for over 8 years. I walk and hike like I used to when I was 50 and care for a big garden and am rarely sick. I haven't been near a doctor since being carnevore. It was visiting nursing homes that made me start to do some investing in my health. I certainly didn't want to become a resident. I find eating just meat is more economical than a general diet, but would be more expensive than the food served up in the average nursing home.
I was always frustrated taking care of my parents. They refused to eat meat and instead wanted the so called "healthy" veggies and whole grains. I fooled my mom for years by making carnivore alternatives to her favorite foods like pizza and fast food fried chicken and she was stable from 2013-2017 but being more difficult and demanding the ice cream, cookies and breads was too much to deal with. As an alternative to assisted living I took responsibility and did the 24 hour care for 4 years. The system is broken and I hope I die of a heart attack eating a fat steak instead of getting old and weak.
However, because you'll be eating that fatty steak is the very reason that you probably won't croak from a heart attack. I could imagine it being frustrating when your mom is requesting poison. Bless your heart for taking care of her. Good luck getting her to eat better.
@@therealdeal3672 Well I got so mad at my mom once that I tore a cook book in half. She eventually died from infections caused by being anemic, instead of just eating the steak.
lots of keto recipes and products to substitute for sweets would be better than the refined carbs. For instance, I made an awesome ice cream with salted caramel Keto Chow and added toasted pecans and Lily's chips. I am about 90-95% carnivore, but often bring keto treats to church potlucks. 😋
My mom passed from Alzheimer’s in a care facility. We tried so hard to feed her well. We were making and bringing her her meals and yet the staff gave hot chocolate and donuts and juice. We just gave up. Without their cooperation we were sunk. Was heart breaking. At least moms kids know better.
When you are dying, don’t you think you should be able to eat what you want? If she was in care, there was no chance of reversing her disease. You did the right thing. You cant control anyone. If she wanted chocolate milk, she got protein…yeah! My 94 yr old MIL is going through this now. Will not eat a real meal unless taken out, then she eats well. At home she eats ice cream cups, boiled custard all December, and microwaved sausage, egg, cheese roll ups are her main source of food. Shes addicted to candy but we just hope it will fatten her up some and are grateful shes getting calories..she’s so tiny. Shes going to eat what she wants to eat and at this age….we just put our hands up. I’m sorry you lost your mom this way.
I’m sorry 😢 God bless your mom. She’s in a better place now but I know it’s not the same without her. It’s such a difficult situation when you’re not in control, but you did your best and you’re a good daughter ❤
That's terrible! I was taking care of an elderly neighbor and the same thing happened. People don't get it. But maybe in the case of a nursing home it is more sinister
As a senior nurse working in long term care, why didn’t you have a meeting and care plan her care for what you wanted it to be? Or move her somewhere else?
This is amazing. I've always wanted to do something similar for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. There are more of these types of patient than you think.
This wonderful man and his wife are role models for how the facilities should be run. The compassion he has is truly missing in most of these homes. Great interview!
Fascinating! I live in AZ. What a wonderful service this man is doing. My son and DIL live in another state. Her mother is in assisted living and has dementia as well as the after effects of a stroke. It would be wonderful if there was a facility like this in their community.
Great interview. Read Grain Energy - explores mental illness as metabolic dysfunction. Same with pretty much every chronic illness. One of the huge benefits of carnivore is its simplicity.
I was obese as a toddler(1960). When I had my hip replacement at 60, I took a bag of walnut halves and 6 avocados with me to the hospital. I ate them as part of my low carb diet and at my 6 week follow up the nurse couldn't believe how well I was walking.
This talk hits home to me. Both my parents spent the last years of their lives in a nursing home, surrounded by sweets, taking a bunch of tablets every day. I wasn't able to see my mother the last 6 months of her life due to the covid fiasco.
Im 58 yrs, on full carnivore for 6 wks and seeing impressive results. I was a LPN that worked in LTC. I ended up quitting bc I was so disgusted by the protocols forced on these poor folks. I felt like I couldnt do my job and feel good about it. But I have watched for a change in things and an opportunity to work in an environment that actually helped our elders. My own mom is 82 abd in LTC right now. She is being fed trash as well. Im unable to move her in with me. I am so impressed with this mans testimony. Id LOVE to be able to place my mom in a home like his as well as be a nurse at one! Im in MN.
They gave my dad Ensure through his NG tube when he had a brain infection. He was a Type 2 Diabetic and his blood sugar shot up to 500 something. I was livid. I tried to talk to the director of the nursing home he was in about nutrition and he told me that they would just give him more insulin! I wish this guy had run my dad's nursing home. A couple of weeks after I talked to that director, my dad was placed on Hospice and died from the brain infection.
A local aged care home here in Australia worked with an Aromatherapist. The condition that responded the best to treatment was dementia/Alzheimers, with several residents fully healing. The program is now permanent. Imagine if they went carnivore as well.
@@jasminejones9937 why would you ask them for "permission" you don't need to ask for permission, just do it, even if you have to bring the meat yourself.
Such an incredible story! I’m 69 and just moving from keto to carnivore ( was vegetarian/vegan for 20-years prior) beating sarcopenia and osteoporosis! Now carnivore.
Great interview - and Hal, God bless you! I am taking care of my 85 yo mother and after the cvd shot (against my advice) she began to have pretty serious memory issues and accelerated physical decline after a near death congestive heart failure crisis. For about a month now I have been giving her meat and fat with very small amounts of carbs. It's as if something has been reconnected; she's grounded ; less fractured is the best way I can describe it. It's only been 5-6 weeks. She still eats her favorite breakfast - bowl of oatmeal with berries, raisins, etc (too much sugar)... and I suspect if I were to change that to eggs in the morning she'd improve even more. As it makes her life better it makes my life better - taking care of a parent in decline takes a lot out of you so I am so grateful to these carnivore pioneers for breaking through the lies and reaching the rest of us for the betterment of our collective future.
My parents had chickens and still do! Lost my dad at 94. My mom will be 90 soon! They always had bacon and eggs, beef, chicken! Real butter! Aways used cast iron pans and so do I! Lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in 2022! I'm new to carnivore. I have been skipping the breads, potatoes and vegetables. Its hard. Im getting there! Ive been intermittent fasting. Diet has changed for the better! I've lost weight and feel better! Off all medications!
I’m 71 & after a lifetime of fast food, had a particularly bad weekend of junk food a few weeks ago. I felt SO bloated & horrible on Monday that I thought I better clean up my diet for a week or two. I decided on ketovore. After a few days I felt so much better. After 2 weeks my crippling joint pain disappeared! I walked with a limo and a cane for over a year and now I put the cane away!!! I researched this & found out that it’s common on keto and carnivore for joint pain to go away. I’m never going back to fast food. I feel way too good!
Excellent! I visit my sister in a nursing home and would love to change their food supply. Your opening remarks are the exact conversation i had with her yesterday.
I really appreciate this interview what an angle Hal is thank you, sir..... I'm 66 and just had my full blood/Medical from 1 yr ago and on carnivore for only 2 Months. Result lost 8kg all blood work came back excellent. 12 months ago I had elevated liver and low vitamin D. 3rd year since breast cancer surgery/radiation treatment with all clear results Bowl test negative. I'm feeling fantastic walking every day & intermittent fasting with no alcohol. The doctor was pleased but still needed to lose 7kg. My husband is doing carnivore with me and his medical exam came back great also. If anyone is having trouble deciding just do it it will be the best decision you can make.
Tks Doc for bringing in such a kind and great man for this interview. I am learning ways to help educate my elderly parents and in-laws on their diet. So refreshing to see someone who actually cares.
During my 24 year enlisted Air Force career and still now 23 years after retiring I am continually gratified at the integrity of Air Force officers in contrast to the everyday businessman or politician operating by hook or by crook.
Same. Air Force vet. Amazing how many fellow AF vets are helping others in the low carb, ketogenic, carnivore communities. Very smart, very good people.
My husband was a Navy pilot, F-14s & F-18’s, later flew for United airlines. He’s also a great person, very humble, loves cats. I think most military people have this integrity
My mum would see her friends move out of their home and go to a senior’s lodge or nursing home. She said in about 3-4 months they looked worse and their health quickly declined. Ideally, She continues to be well, active independent, because she doesn’t eat like her friends did… plus she walked and still walks everywhere.
I am 67 years old my patient is 86 years old I am a home health aide and I always have kind of been into my health and I'm glad I found the carnivore diet I am now on it and giving it to my patient so we can have the gift of life we're only into it for days hopefully by the end of the month to be some changes
When the body is carb-loaded there is a significant amount of water retention, resulting in swollen limbs and waistline. I just came off a one-week cruise, eating low-carb, high meat, skipping breakfast but 4-5 meals and enjoying 5-8 desserts per day. The 12 hours after I got off the ship, I went to pee every three hours despite barely drinking any water at all, and with no food intake. I was shocked how much water is retained with my carb intake for just one week.
I'm seventy-one and in pretty good condition for my age now but I developed epilepsy at the age of twenty-nine and the medication made me so ill I was unable to work for the rest of my life. I'm now more able to function on a carnivore diet than I was then. It's the best thing I ever did.
Mr. Hal Cranmer is an amazing gentleman! He goes to great lengths to do what's best for people. It's individuals like him who help me to continue to have faith in human nature (which sometimes is not easy)!
Thank you 🙏🏽 🤍💛❤️🖤 my Mum is about to leave a nursing home fully recovered from dementia and diabetes at age 73 as per my request to remove all medication from her good self and we are going to be hitting the road for a trip of a lifetime 🎉 I’m just 3 weeks into carnivore and I will be transitioning Mum as well within 2 weeks. 🙏🏽
What a nice comment :) I clicked on your page and saw you had some interesting stuff with like longevity, fasting, I saw Steven Bancarz, and some other things. Are you a Christian? Or, Christian carnivore :)) You have A LOT of worship music!! Are you on the carnivore diet? I'm not doing the diet right now, but am about to try it like 80-90%.
What they feed people in these places is a real problem. I was in the hospital and the food trays had equivalent 12 to 20 teaspoons of sugar with a small portion of meat. Horrific. Wow, can I book one of his facilities now if I ever need it?
Excellent info and such an important topic! I would imagine that Mr Cranmer will have waiting lists for both residents and employees who are not interested in receiving or providing the usual standard of care. Well done, gentlemen!
I’m an 81 year old carnivore who completely reversed my D2 . I’m a completely different woman now.
Amazing! Congrats!!

I'm 70 and have eaten carnivore for over 4 years. I work out in a gym usually 2 hours a day. I expect I will escape the assisted living home for a while. The nursing homes situation is the result of 60 years of propaganda from the government, medical and food industries and some religious groups. I'm so glad to have found you, Dr Baker and Dr Ken Berry.
Me too and I'm 76 will soon be 77 been on since 2018. not going there!
My mum is 82 and I am pushing meat on her. She still eats sweets but she has reduced them and knows they are bad but she is eating 1000% more meat than she would get in a nursing h9me. I used to work in nursing homes and I promised my parents that they would never end up in one. My dad died 17 years ago and I reiterated my promise to look after mum and I think that eased his mind. My mum recently sold her house, she lived in the country about a 4 hour drive away, and built a “granny flat” in my back yard.
You are a total stud sir. Nice post.
Right behind you. You are an inspiration! I'm older by a couple years (72) and on carnivore almost one year. LCHF for 3 years before that. Work out at the gym three days a week. I am so very grateful to feel as strong and sharp as I did at 35.
And let’s not forget about the film industry’s incessant portrayal of people (mostly women) as being totally useless humans who are over 50. Just let your imagination wander over to “the old man and his dog “ vs. “the old woman and her cat”……. Which one comes to mind with respect? ad infinitem.
I'm 60 years old. There is so much dementia in my family and my sister who is a pharmacist says it is just a part of aging. I eat the carnivore diet and I tell my kids that I'll be a feisty old lady and won't be getting dementia nor will I be getting feeble any time soon.
Many now call dementia type 3 diabetes. Treat it as such and see what happens. Good luck.
You won't , lm 78 and have developed muscles , yippee 😁
Iodine is important for cognitive function.
If it were a part of aging, then everyone would get Dementia.
Sister is wrong.
But what IS known to cause Dementia?
Drugs like statins.
@@marlenegold280 Seed oils, high insulin, etc also increases risks of Alzheimer's and dementia. My mother has dementia but has never been on any drugs. Yes, my sister is wrong. She is a pharmacist and 'educated', but has a closed mind.
I have a friend who's caring for her mom with dementia. I noticed she had a load of boost in her cabinet. I told her she shouldn't give her mother boost because it's just sugar milk with a bunch of low quality artificial vitamins. She said she her doctor said she should drink it. About a hour later her niece came in the room complaining that the mom refused to drink that CRAP and actually poured it out. Her mom is smarter than her doctor 🤔
I just posted a comment that I wish Keto Chow had a prepared drink/meal replacement product on the market for that reason. If your friend is open to making it, Keto Chow might be a really good alternative. I love that you can turn it into ice cream too because who doesn't like ice cream!

My muscles are getting bigger. My workouts are great and I don't push excessively. My workouts are pressure less. I go in and do certain exercises. I don't get like I have to push hard. Sometimes I do a longer exercise time and other times I do less. I never feel like I didn't do enough. I am so peaceful.

My mom’s approaching 80 and has always been athletic and inquisitive. A few years ago I got her onto a keto diet and increasing her meat intake. Her bubbly personality came right back and she’s even begun to get back a bit more muscle tone. Nobody is immortal, but what I want for her and for all those patients in the homes is to live without chronic illness and dementia.
Thanks for this conversation.
I am doing the same thing with my elderly parents. They are not fully keto but have substantially reduced their carb intake. They eat more meat now. They are healthier and happier.
My healthy 79 and 84 year old parents are stubborn! My mom sees my carnivore weight loss and is jealous but won’t do it. Still eating oat meal a few times a week. My dad seems pleased to be so thin and I’m like - “that’s sarcopenia and it’s bad! No wonder you get tired chopping wood! Enough with your cereal and orange juice for breakfast!”
I agree wholeheartedly!!
Hugs. I wish I had known about keto or even the Atkins diet when my parents were here. My dad suffered massively with diabetes.
❤
My father started working out in the gym at 16 to correct his obesity. After the army he continued working out and eating low carb, no sugar. He grew up in the meat business, became a meat inspector and then worked as a butcher in the family biz. We always had great cuts of meat....leg of lamb, rib roasts etc. Through his 40s 50s and early 60s he ate steak and veg for dinner, big salad with blue cheese for lunch and coffee for breakfast. He worked out played tennis and loved trending his huge yard. In his late 60s his doctor convinced him to go low fat, nonfat, sugar free....all the heart healthy crap. He ended up with dementia mid 80s, died at 89 in very nice memory care place that served fruit juice, pudding, cookies, cake, pancakes, waffles, cereal, pasta, casseroles etc. He maintained his preferred diet of eggs and sausage/ bacon for breakfast, chicken Ceasars salad or hamburger patties and salad for lunch and protein and veg for dinner. I'm convinced his dementia was brought on by all the artificial sweeteners in his diet coke, diet fudge bars, nonfat dressings and a major lack of healthy fats. He only ate skinless chicken breast and the leanest steaks he could get. I believe type 3 diabetes is for real and the nonfat craze has starved a lot of brains
So sorry he and you had to experience that. Our brains need fat.
Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry he went through that!
Any hint why the doctor recommended the change? I've never heard of a doctor pushing for change when things are going well. So, he didn't really go low fat, since you say he kept to his regime- but added diet coke, fudge bars and nonfat dressings?
Thank you for sharing your Dad story,I’m trying to convince my Mom who is on her mid 70 to stop eating carbs
@@sixtosanta9862 Maybe you can get her to reduce refined carbs on a daily or weekly basis rather than go cold turkey. I eventually got off sweets by limiting them to weekends and a couple of events a month. I did go overboard at times but eventually I experienced that life was better with less; I didn’t enjoy them as much, certainly not enough to justify how they crowded out real nutrients since I just don’t have the capacity to eat the amounts I used to. Good luck!
I'm 74 and carnivor for years. I'm in great shape and I know that I won't be going into a nursing home. Ever.
Me too Peter! No nursing home for this fiesty old broad. I told my kids that if they put me in one, they are out of the will!
@Cathie McGinnis If we have our mental and physical health in tact there's no reason for "the home".
I'm 74 as well and I'm passing on the nursing home crap. I'm carnivore, in excellent health both mentally & physically and don't plan on that changing. I planning on passing away from being just too danged old with no diseases! haha!!

As an assisted living center owner, it must make obviously great business sense to invest in keeping your tenants alive for longer, yet what this man is doing is revolutionary in our day and age. Crazy world!
He is crazy like a fox…It’s like reinventing the wheel. So commonsensical it’s in this world crazy. I have visited enough assisted living homes that it turns my stomach the amount of carbs shoveled at wonderful seniors. THE U.S.GOVT. Needs to wake up, IMPLEMENT this in SCHOOLS as well as NURSING HOMES. The current corporate farming tactics are killing our soils and need to be retooled. We need to increase the ranching industry and start feeding nutritionally dense diet (aka REAL protein not pea protein😣)… Exactly, restaurant industry shoves the most damaging food ingredients by Carnivore standards.

My 83 year old mother is currently staying with me for a few months (she lives over seas and, as I'm unjabbed, I couldn't travel to see her for the last few years) and I have been gradually increasing her meat and fat intake over the last few weeks. She's had numerous serious health issues over the last 2 years (possibly jab related) and still got covid a few weeks ago. (I looked after her, took no precautions and didn't get sick...) This morning she was up before me and wanting to come with me on my morning dog walk. She ate a huge breakfast and then stated that she hadn't felt this well in a long time. Coincidence? She believes in the propagandised low meat, low fat diet so I'll just keep adding meat and fat until she notices! I'm a 3 year keto/carnivore and thriving.

@@traceydooling3189 Falls are often “syncope” episodes.
Syncope is a split-second “brain blackout”, which causes the person to either get “glued to the nearest wall”, or end up on the floor, not clear how they got there.
What I recently figured out, is that certain medications, including the wrong thyroid pill, can cause syncope. Removing those drugs, often stops the syncope.
Have you checked her meds for that reaction? Have you talked w/her doc about that likelihood?
What flavors did she most like (savory? Sour? Sweet? Salty?)
What textures did she like most?
For increasing protein: what kinds of meats did she used to like?
Find sources of pastured meats, & pastured eggs.
In our area, places like grocery outlet, has saved us greatly off of grocery store prices. Our grocery outlet store has consistently tries to stock grass-fed, no antibiotic meats, & Uncured (no nitrates) bacon, & some pastured eggs. We find lower prices on cream cheese, sour cream-but, they rarely have organic dairy…we also shop the local CoOp grocery, to find organic local grow, dairy, eggs & meats, too.
Use recipes that give her the flavor & texture preference she’s always liked most, at least to start. Keep it as simple as you can.
If you need to chop everything into tiny bits, it can help eating it.
If she likes soups, make soups.
If she feels she has to have potatoes or rice…cook those, then chill in fridge, THEN rewarm it-that turns the starches in those, into “resistant” starch-meaning, it’s much harder to absorb the starches from those….but on a carnivore diet, it’s still starches, so, find substitutes, like cauliflower.
Replace sweetening agents with a combo of stevia & monk fruit-find ones that are ONLY those-AVOID additives like maltodextrose, dextrose, erythritol, etc.
Salt needs to be natural…sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, etc….NEVER the purified “table salt”.
A good, mixed collagen bone broth powder can very much help.
Look for one that has multiple types of collagen/bone broth, like I, II, III, IV, from bovine, poultry, & fish bone sources.
One scoop is about 10 grams of protein. It’s a neutral flavor, so can easily be added to coffee, tea, or smoothies made of dark green leafy veggies & antioxidant berries.
Look for Ghee-it’s essentially clarified butter, you can make yourself, or even get it from Costco-that has a long shelf-life at room temp.
I like one from Mt.Capra; they also have numerous products made from pastured organic goat milk. They make a mineral whey powder too, that helps give needed minerals chronically missing from most folks’ diets.
Also, virgin organic coconut oil-long shelf-life, & contains elements that help stop & reverse dementias & other things.
If she’s willing to add kelps to her meat sauces, those are highly nutritious-or, can get tableted Icelandic kelp, if she hates the taste of kelps.
But powdered kelps come in wide variety, & have varying flavors & nutritional content…but all have pretty much all the minerals we are otherwise lacking.
One easy recipe we like, is to pan “sauté” a protein, in about a Tblsp. of ghee or coconut oil, w/onions & mushrooms, maybe celery, in water or broth. When the protein & vegges are almost cooked, I add a cup or 2 of water or broth, & let it simmer til cooked.
Once cooked, I add a Tblsp or 2 of Nutritional yeast, & about the same of either tapioca starch powder (depends on how much water is in pan), or, about a tsp. or 2 of agar powder, to thicken…this is when I also add kelp powder or flakes, a Tblsp or 2….stir to disburse & thicken into a broth.
Lastly, I adjust the saltiness w/tamari sauce-or Himalayan pink salt, because we like those.
The nutritional yeast gives B-vits, & some minerals, most need it.
I keep a jar of Vit. C powder near the cooking area, to adjust the sour notes in foods. When you properly adjust the sour, salty, fat & sweet notes in a recipe, it tastes MUCH better! It also helps provide needed Vit. C.
Ketogenic diets need vitamin C added, unless you are eating fresh organ meats only lightly cooked. Muscle meats lack enough Vit. C.
We also like poached eggs…but on a keto diet, regular bread is a no-no.
But we sometimes cheat & use an organic whole grain sourdo toast, or, put the poached eggs on a nest of quinoa.
We like deviled eggs, too.
And we eat 3 or 4 eggs at a time.
The bone broths/collagen powders, the mineral whey powders, make drinking our protein easy, too-especially if we need to hurry out the door & run errands. We use shaker cups with easily sealed sip-lids, to prevent spills. Ours have a loop on top to ease carrying it.
Hope that helps!
Oh…forgot…
I make a pudding from chia &/or flax seeds + coconut milk or hemp milk, & whatever spices we want, & sweeten w/stevia & monk fruit powders (Amzn). Sometimes I blenderize the seeds for a finer texture, or, leave them whole to allow chewing. If teeth issues, blenderize them!
About 4 Tblsp. seeds + about a cup of a milk liquid, sets up into a pudding consistency-you might need to play with proportions.
Or, we got premade seed puddings like this from our local CoOp grocery-they are shelf-stable til opened, & single-serving-so might also be available online. Our store Carrie’s vanilla or chocolate….but they use sugar-so, I make it at home, to use stevia & monk fruit, instead….& get different flavors. You could also add nuts, & some dried berries.

Dear Mr. Cranmer, please expand your business into a veritable empire that stretches from coast to coast. Cheers.
I was an activities, Director at nursing home. After being taken to a birthday dinner, where one of my residents was fed, rich food, and cake. She came and fell down in the hall for the first time and became very scared. When I heard about what she had eaten I knew what had happenedtoo much sugar. Thank you for your journey.
Seniors should eat what everyone should eat - REAL FOOD. No fake/processed crap. Ever.
Psychiatrists have research that shows dementia are reversed with ketogenic diets, carnivore, and now call dementia Type 3 Diabetea
We ALL should!
Love this so much! I just lost my mom recently and I was always shocked at what the hospital fed her. Ensure… What a joke. Our system needs an overhaul! Love that there are people out there who are doing this. My mom was someone that just wanted her sugar. She would probably still be alive if we had been able to change her diet like this. Keep up the good work out there in Arizona!
Oh wow! I'm a caregiver for over 20 years. I was also plant based eater. Meat was a no no. I've just stumbled onto this for arthritic healing. I'm looking forward to changes for my 60 yo body. This has inspired me to help other senior clients in the future. Thank you for sharing this! WOW!!

@@GypsyGirl317 Absolutely!! They are great!
You’ve done me a favour today with your interview. Second day back on carnivore and now you’ve encouraged me to stay with it and so avoid a nursing home by getting my health back. I know it’s possible because for 5 months last year I saw the improvements in my overall health but gave into bread/pastry cravings. Regrets but happy to be helping myself again.
We could only wish that all senior living facilities were managed by someone like Mr. Cranmer.
Mr. Crammer you are so genuine, caring , knowledgeable and willing to think outside the box. This is an incredible story.
I opted ketovore (mostly carnivore) in August. Saw my mom (age 84) about a month ago and she couldn't believe the difference in my overall health, with the perk of weight loss, and asked for all my information on how to do this way of eating. Went on to explain the healthy benefits of losing all the sugar and processed foods, and now she is trying to eat this way too to maintain her health. She lives in a seniors condo building, and has seen a lot of her friends deteriorate and die due to health issues, so is very keen on being healthy and active as long as she is able. Great informative video. Thank you!!!
I am legal guardian of my 90 year old mother in a nursing home. She is on ZERO prescriptions due to me weaning her off of them 11+ years ago. It’s ridiculous what I have to go thru to get a supplement added (like Vit d) or to make a dietary change like “low carb, high fat.” Asking to change her to carnivore would most likely be an effort of futility and cause way too much stress on the “nutritionist.” Let her eat steak!!
If you're paying for it, I would demand it.
Their meat and eggs probably isn’t real eggs and meat.
The last nursing home I worked, most of the nurses ignored the “as-needed” doses of things like acidophilus to stop diarrhea, & only one doc who bothered to RX CoQ10 , only RXd a measly 10 Mg. His reasoning was, it was too costly for the family to afford therapeutic doses needed for a heart patient….even though CoQ10 was listed in the PDR (drug book), so Medicare could cover some of the cost.
There’s every appearance that the commercial “healthcare” industries are in it for maximizing profits, NOT to actually help the clients.
@@Chimonger1 Kind of sad isn’t it?? They wanted to prescribe a laxative to my mom. PRN… And I said my mom is almost 90 years old and has never needed a laxative. I told them since she’s already on coconut oil and MCT oil (which was almost impossible to get started on her care plan) Just increase the dosage of the MCT oil to use as a laxative instead of a chemical or prescription that is used PRN. Seriously medical people…I have totally lost confidence in you.
@@karen1866 Exactly! You are very correct about MCT oil…& it’s kind to the liver!
Worse, most folks, including elders, are deficient in magnesium-especially if they have heart dysrhythmias, or ANY kinds of muscle spasms, twitches, or contractures….simply give them magnesium threonate, as that form helps the nervous system best-but, can even use cheap Epsom salts as a laxative (used reliably for over 120 years!)….
…but Nooooo….they can’t be bothered to do that, because it’s not feeding PharmaChem, & insurance does not cover what does not feed that industry.
Stuff like that, was why I went into traditional/Alt.healthcare, as some of my female forebears had.
Old time docs, many had much more common sense-as long as they were not too heavily indoctrinated by Pharma yet.
You are a national treasure, Hal. Your vision is a hallmark. Thank you for bringing forth this discussion, Dr. Baker.
Wonderful man! I worked in a nursing home from the age of 13 to 16 because my mum worked in them as she was a RN . After that experience I decided I would never ever go near one again. Horrible places and that was back in the 1970's when it wasn't nearly as bad.
This guy is such a wonderful person.
I’m sorry your family chose to work in a horrible one, I work in an amazing one, why would you judge all of them horrible when you’ve only worked in one?
I’ve been carnivore for 2.5 years. My mom passed from dementia-related issues in 2013. Oh, if I could only turn back the clock. I realized many months ago that her diet had a huge hand in her decline. That, and her meds.
Retired critical care nurse, and lifelong sugar addict; I became an alcoholic for 15 months at age 51, went through treatment, and have been sober for 14 years. My initial denial of alcoholism evaporated when I heard a counsellor casually mention how many of the worst alcoholics were severe sugar addicts as children. As a child I existed on sugar. I haven't thought about alcohol since I got sober, but I thought about sugar EVERY DAY. That is, until I went on a carnivore diet 3 months ago, with one day per week of fruits and veggies (for a protein fast for autophagy). I will incorporate more veggies as I see fit, but limit fruit to 1day per week. I never even think about eating anymore! My weight is stable for the first time in my life. My brain fog is gone! I take no prescription meds, and my labs are perfect. Sugar addiction is a very real trap to fall into in life, and it only intensifies as you get older. Thank you so much for bringing this to light, and helping these people who desperately need an advocate like you!
You are incredible!
You are spot on about the sugar and alcohol addiction. A lot of AA-ers are still so addicted to sugary foods. They're the same food. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏽
@@timeweaver476never drank alcohol but am a sugar addict life long.
Finally someone mentioned their labs. I was curious about that.
It’s so important for people to realize what’s in store for them at MOST nursing homes. Eat meat, stay healthy.
💪💖 / 💪🌎 / 💖🙏💖
Amen Jeanne!
Eat meat, stay healthy AND STAY HOME!
I wouldn't ask any run of the mill doctor anything about nutrition. Most of them don't know anything about nutrition.
and what they think they know is wrong
I was hospitalized in a major hospital and the food was 100% processed sugar garbage. This is no joke and I think it's intentional.
So good to know that there are good people in this world that actually care about the elderly. God bless him and you as well Dr Baker 🙏
Hal’s genuine interest in his residents gives me hope for the first time, when I consider the options for my mother and her dementia and increasing needs. I didn’t think anyone like Hal existed in the industry- his care for seniors beyond $$ is commendable and means so much to me (even though my mom and I both live in Maryland). Thanks Shawn for shining a light on Hal’s work.
When I’m hungry a ground sirloin burger is delicious. When not hungry it’s unappealing. I suspect that those who find carnivore boring just aren’t hungry. Appetite isn’t hunger.
There's no way I can eat and digest the amount or any red meat as in carnivore diet so I go with more vegetables and eggs and sardines and avocadoes, some lean chicken for my 76 year old body. I live in asenior complex and I am trying to educate the service coordinator who is in charge of the coffee hour here and also the new property manager about what is provided to residents at coffee hours and events or town halls which is heavy on carbs and sugar and low quality food. People are ADDICTED to sugar and are lonely and have used food, especially comfort foods like potatoes, breads, desserts for some kind of quick fix joy. I am vety familiar with how hard it is to kick the habit. VERY admirable what Mr.Cranmer is doing. We need someone like him here. I have done a lot of research, unusual here in this climate of residents, on nutrition.
I work in long term facilities and I want to work for this guy!! This IS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SIR! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
This is so awesome that you are talking specifically about this. I started my mother on pureed ground beef so that she would get some red meat in her diet. There are significant changes in just a couple meals
😊that’s awesome. Did you put it in a blender?
@@money4retirement I use a bullet blender and a bit of broth or water to make it creamy. Just remember that you will need to heat it up to keep the fat from separating after the blend.
@@Jeff-gt2xu - Great alternative to Ensure and all of that junk.
Omg! I NEVER expected this interview to move me so much! I am currently 72 and in the early days of carnivore and doing very well. Weight has been a lifelong struggle and I’m glad I’ve lived long enough for this. But my real point is that as a young nurse I loved working with seniors and the response to care was abysmal. Yet, the caregivers muddled through and gave their best. I am overjoyed with Hal’s humanity and how he is expressing it. This interview has shot my optimism through the roof! There should be a medal like the Nobel prize for the work you all are doing.
As a former LTC nurse I agree with you very much! Would like to see all us like minded care givers find a way to collaborate and make these thing available to ppl who are motivated.
Oh how I wish I knew all this information when my amazing, intelligent, creative Mom got dementia - then alzheimers - If I knew ANY way to help her, I would have done it. She passed away in 2008 - I hope and pray that you help so many people and give them the quality of life to enjoy it!
I'm 60 and I'm convinced sugar is the common denominator for disease. I've been on Keto/Carnivore for about 6 months and got back on sugar over Christmas. I feel terrible again because of the inflammation. Going to double down and get off it again.
This guy is a true humanitarian. Very inspiring!
This episode was so exciting! I am praying that this becomes the standard of care going into the future
It unfortunately won’t be- I’ve tried opening a facility like this. People are hesitant due to cost, no insurance coverage, fear of leaving current “health care” model and family pressure. I tried REALLY hard but found it financially draining.
@@karen1866 the reason his is working is that he bought an existing business that was financially able to support itself and is slowly moving in the direction he wants his business to go - as opposed to trying to start a business from scratch that operates the way he wants.
No excuses !
@@foxywhitetip7387 So do you run a business similar to this?
Retired RN here. This is refreshing and really very encouraging. During my career I cared for many elderly patients and it was obviously a very sad experience. I called it warehousing humans. I did not want to specialize in geriatrics for sure. I always thought we should include activities that are "life." Going outside etc. I applaud your enthusiasm. Great job.
HOW AWESOME that this man cares enough about his residents to take on the task of trying to improve nutrition rather than allowing doctors to medicate them into oblivion!! I LOVE THIS!!! Our brains and hormones need cholesterol to avoid dementia. Kudos to this man for caring!! I’d love to see an update!!
Yes he's certainly a great human being!
Hallelujah hallelujah!! I pray this man is the most successful nursing home owner in the world. Helping the hopeless is according to God’s will. My father in law is in the nursing home and they feed him candy. He is so unhealthy
Oh my Alan ! I'm so sorry. I was appalled at what they fed my Dad the 4 weeks he had to be in an Assisted Living & Rehab Center. The food helped to finish him off. He had advanced heart failure, but I think he might have had another quality 6-12 months if we could have gotten him to eat a carnivore diet. He would bit have accepted it tho - even being a retired physician. He was too brainwashed from Med School. And my husband & I did not know about keto-carni back in 2015.
@@michelleduncan9965 I’m just the crazy carnivore son in law. I would have to change 4 children and Dad to save him. I’m sad.
@@SteakmanTexas I hear you Alan. I have 1 elder left who we care for, who LOVES carbs ... & those carbs have damaged her health so severely, & they continue to at age 90! I'm sad too.
My Dad was 86, totally healthy mentally but had many health issues. I live overseas and when I heard his health was failing, that he was in hospital, I went home. They said after a surgical intervention, that he would be fine but would need to go into a nursing home just for a few weeks. My Mom had already passed way back in 2003, so he was alone. I thought he was in good hands, but as soon as I left his health deteriorated again suddenly & then he was gone. I wish I would have stayed and personally nursed him back to good health, even taken him with me back to my home. I myself just discovered the Keto diet right after his passing. I‘ll never know if I could have made a difference. So if your elderly parents are needing assistance, please consider Keto or Carnivore for them & yes - take charge, find a good holistic doctor that knows how to De-Prescribe meds. I do believe it was all the drugs and bad food that killed my father. His parents lived into their 90‘s and I‘m sure he would have had at least 5 more yrs.
I am sorry for your loss❤!😢My 94 yo mother belligerently doesn't want any dietary changes as she lives in the carb ditch. She has metastatic colon cancer but chooses to listen to her docs, not her retired Ob/ Gyn carnivore daughter!😢
Hey everyone I have been experimenting with cooking meat in mason jars in a water bath in my crockpot!! It’s “sous vide” style without plastic bags. It makes the meat EXTREMELY TENDER!! I’m missing a molar on both sides and chewing tougher cuts was pretty challenging. Also at first I needed HCL to help digest meat. A carnivore digestive track requires different bacteria/acid than the plant based folks. Eggs and BUTTER are always wonderful for the dentally challenged too😉!! I am very grateful/excited about what this guy is doing!! GOD BLESS HIM!
What a caring and brave man. Really hope he gets the due recognition.
Im sure every human he touches, will enhance his life
My Native American ancestors lived almost entirely on meat and fish and lived long healthy, active lives. My great great grandfather lived to 104 and had perfect posture. My grandmother went to residential school and learned how to make bread, pies, cookies etc. Her older sister did not go to residential school and same thing, perfect posture, lived to 101. Most of my relatives now have obesity and diabetes. This is because of bannock, jam, pasta, sugar and processed foods. We all need to live as close to nature as possible when it comes to food.
Your ancestors, in addition to what you’ve said, did well because their meat came from natural sources. Living close to nature is critical! Today’s meat sources are so “polluted” that I wish we would give it a different name, to distinguish it from natural sources of animal products.
Hal is an Angel. If only all 'care givers' cared so smuch! Thanks Hal and Dr Shawn. ( I went carnivor at age 66, and never , ...never felt better than I do now at very nearly 70 )
I had my elderly mum (now deceased) with Dementia (which is diabetes type 3) on the Bredeson protocol here in Ireland 🇮🇪
I learned so much about diet and have myself changed to a Carnivore diet.
Now trying to persuade my family. It’s a slow process, met with resistance, But I’m determined to bring the reality to them!
Same here. Got 1 brother to get on board and he finally feels like a human again. We both lost a ton of weight.He had open heart bypasses and a couple stents so the doctors were puzzles about how he required a lot less meds and shed 100#s in the last year. Arteries were all clear as well on ultrasound and pet scan. All my other relatives blow me off. Being of Scottish descent I only tell them once. I figure they weren't deaf and heard me and weren't blind and could see I weigh 135# when 2 years ago I weighed 172. If they are too stupid to take the message I won't waste my breath anymore as many would rather die than give up sugar or soda.beer and whiskey. Sugar is just as bad no matter the form. Tell um once and if they die before you send a card because nobody was helped by anyone going to a funeral.
Thank you for this Dr Baker. I'm a cook in a senior community. Not nursing or assisted living. Often I see the start of decline physically or mentally. I am carnivore and have often wondered what implication of this diet would look like. This is what I needed to see.
All the best!
Thank you so much for this interview.
My 100 year old client was put on ensure but I was able to find Mark Bell's "Steak Shake" instead. It does have stevia for sweetener but it is better than anything else I could find. He loves it.
Soo true!! I have family questioning me about my blood work eating meat while they are sitting there eating bakery and all kinds of junk food… it’s actually comical
My mom is 96 and on hospice care. She has heart problems and had a mild stroke and came to live with us a year ago. She has been keto for the past 9 months. Just this week she decided to go full on carnivore and even removed dairy. She is feeling better than ever and does not need her walker anymore to walk across the grass short distances. She is loosing weight which will help her heart. She is sold on this. My fear is that I will leave her with sisters in 10 days and they are not hip on carnivore. Any suggestions? I have been taking her to the Y and she has been bouncing around in the water for 30 minutes and we go in the hot tub for 10. I even put her on some of the resistance training machines for a few rounds. She is so excited and has the will to live again! She feels her life has purpose. The last time we left her with a relative with clear instructions on how to feed her. They are recent converts to Seventh Day Advent-ism and they served her a mainly vegetable and plant based diet. So sad :( When we came home she was cranky and depressed. She's back to normal now and even better than normal! I am going to have her listen to this podcast today!
Enjoyed the discussion. I'm nearly 80 and have been carnevore for over 8 years. I walk and hike like I used to when I was 50 and care for a big garden and am rarely sick. I haven't been near a doctor since being carnevore. It was visiting nursing homes that made me start to do some investing in my health. I certainly didn't want to become a resident. I find eating just meat is more economical than a general diet, but would be more expensive than the food served up in the average nursing home.
I was always frustrated taking care of my parents. They refused to eat meat and instead wanted the so called "healthy" veggies and whole grains. I fooled my mom for years by making carnivore alternatives to her favorite foods like pizza and fast food fried chicken and she was stable from 2013-2017 but being more difficult and demanding the ice cream, cookies and breads was too much to deal with. As an alternative to assisted living I took responsibility and did the 24 hour care for 4 years. The system is broken and I hope I die of a heart attack eating a fat steak instead of getting old and weak.
Very wise comment as always friend!
Sorry to tell you but its highly unlikely you will die eating steak 😉
However, because you'll be eating that fatty steak is the very reason that you probably won't croak from a heart attack. I could imagine it being frustrating when your mom is requesting poison. Bless your heart for taking care of her. Good luck getting her to eat better.
@@therealdeal3672 Well I got so mad at my mom once that I tore a cook book in half. She eventually died from infections caused by being anemic, instead of just eating the steak.
lots of keto recipes and products to substitute for sweets would be better than the refined carbs. For instance, I made an awesome ice cream with salted caramel Keto Chow and added toasted pecans and Lily's chips. I am about 90-95% carnivore, but often bring keto treats to church potlucks. 😋
Hal Cranmer, is truly a wonderful Man. What a blessing he is to seniors and the world.
My mom passed from Alzheimer’s in a care facility. We tried so hard to feed her well. We were making and bringing her her meals and yet the staff gave hot chocolate and donuts and juice. We just gave up. Without their cooperation we were sunk. Was heart breaking. At least moms kids know better.
Ahhh I am so sorry about your mom.
When you are dying, don’t you think you should be able to eat what you want? If she was in care, there was no chance of reversing her disease. You did the right thing. You cant control anyone. If she wanted chocolate milk, she got protein…yeah! My 94 yr old MIL is going through this now. Will not eat a real meal unless taken out, then she eats well. At home she eats ice cream cups, boiled custard all December, and microwaved sausage, egg, cheese roll ups are her main source of food. Shes addicted to candy but we just hope it will fatten her up some and are grateful shes getting calories..she’s so tiny. Shes going to eat what she wants to eat and at this age….we just put our hands up. I’m sorry you lost your mom this way.
I’m sorry 😢 God bless your mom. She’s in a better place now but I know it’s not the same without her. It’s such a difficult situation when you’re not in control, but you did your best and you’re a good daughter ❤
That's terrible! I was taking care of an elderly neighbor and the same thing happened. People don't get it. But maybe in the case of a nursing home it is more sinister
As a senior nurse working in long term care, why didn’t you have a meeting and care plan her care for what you wanted it to be? Or move her somewhere else?
This is amazing. I've always wanted to do something similar for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. There are more of these types of patient than you think.
That would be great
This wonderful man and his wife are role models for how the facilities should be run. The compassion he has is truly missing in most of these homes. Great interview!

Fascinating! I live in AZ. What a wonderful service this man is doing. My son and DIL live in another state. Her mother is in assisted living and has dementia as well as the after effects of a stroke. It would be wonderful if there was a facility like this in their community.
Great interview. Read Grain Energy - explores mental illness as metabolic dysfunction. Same with pretty much every chronic illness. One of the huge benefits of carnivore is its simplicity.

I was obese as a toddler(1960). When I had my hip replacement at 60, I took a bag of walnut halves and 6 avocados with me to the hospital. I ate them as part of my low carb diet and at my 6 week follow up the nurse couldn't believe how well I was walking.
imagine if you brought real food 🥓 🥩
Too bad you didn't eat real raw cream, raw cheese, raw milk, and plenty of beef...you wouldn't have needed the hip replacement at all.
Gwen - That’s amazing!❤
This talk hits home to me. Both my parents spent the last years of their lives in a nursing home, surrounded by sweets, taking a bunch of tablets every day. I wasn't able to see my mother the last 6 months of her life due to the covid fiasco.
Im 58 yrs, on full carnivore for 6 wks and seeing impressive results. I was a LPN that worked in LTC. I ended up quitting bc I was so disgusted by the protocols forced on these poor folks. I felt like I couldnt do my job and feel good about it. But I have watched for a change in things and an opportunity to work in an environment that actually helped our elders. My own mom is 82 abd in LTC right now. She is being fed trash as well. Im unable to move her in with me. I am so impressed with this mans testimony. Id LOVE to be able to place my mom in a home like his as well as be a nurse at one! Im in MN.
They gave my dad Ensure through his NG tube when he had a brain infection. He was a Type 2 Diabetic and his blood sugar shot up to 500 something. I was livid. I tried to talk to the director of the nursing home he was in about nutrition and he told me that they would just give him more insulin!
I wish this guy had run my dad's nursing home.
A couple of weeks after I talked to that director, my dad was placed on Hospice and died from the brain infection.
A local aged care home here in Australia worked with an Aromatherapist. The condition that responded the best to treatment was dementia/Alzheimers, with several residents fully healing. The program is now permanent. Imagine if they went carnivore as well.
Why imagine it ? better to ask permission to put them on the carnivore diet (show their families/doctor's this video for starters 👍)
Aromatherapy cured Alzheimer’s?
@@WideAwakeHuman I find that hard to believe, too.
@@jasminejones9937 why would you ask them for "permission" you don't need to ask for permission, just do it, even if you have to bring the meat yourself.
@@rinaf6550 you're right 👍 my bad 😳
Dr. Baker, could you please follow up on how Hal's endeavors succeed in a year or so? What he's doing is so good and needed so much!
Such an incredible story! I’m 69 and just moving from keto to carnivore ( was vegetarian/vegan for 20-years prior) beating sarcopenia and osteoporosis! Now carnivore.
VERY interesting! A model that should be replicated for seniors' homes everywhere. Keep up the great work, Hal!
Great interview - and Hal, God bless you! I am taking care of my 85 yo mother and after the cvd shot (against my advice) she began to have pretty serious memory issues and accelerated physical decline after a near death congestive heart failure crisis. For about a month now I have been giving her meat and fat with very small amounts of carbs. It's as if something has been reconnected; she's grounded ; less fractured is the best way I can describe it. It's only been 5-6 weeks. She still eats her favorite breakfast - bowl of oatmeal with berries, raisins, etc (too much sugar)... and I suspect if I were to change that to eggs in the morning she'd improve even more. As it makes her life better it makes my life better - taking care of a parent in decline takes a lot out of you so I am so grateful to these carnivore pioneers for breaking through the lies and reaching the rest of us for the betterment of our collective future.
My parents had chickens and still do! Lost my dad at 94. My mom will be 90 soon! They always had bacon and eggs, beef, chicken!
Real butter! Aways used cast iron pans and so do I! Lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in 2022! I'm new to carnivore. I have been skipping the breads, potatoes and vegetables. Its hard. Im getting there! Ive been intermittent fasting. Diet has changed for the better! I've lost weight and feel better! Off all medications!
This is so wonderful! God bless this man for all he does for the elderly. Wish I could participate in something like this-Never know!
What a wonderful human being!I will recommend that if you want to see clients improve from dementia get them off of statin drugs.
This is absolutely amazing!! We need more people like him in this world. I love it! ❤
I’m 71 & after a lifetime of fast food, had a particularly bad weekend of junk food a few weeks ago. I felt SO bloated & horrible on Monday that I thought I better clean up my diet for a week or two. I decided on ketovore. After a few days I felt so much better. After 2 weeks my crippling joint pain disappeared! I walked with a limo and a cane for over a year and now I put the cane away!!! I researched this & found out that it’s common on keto and carnivore for joint pain to go away. I’m never going back to fast food. I feel way too good!
This is one of the best interviews yet.
Totally agree!
I want to be in one of this wonderful man's homes when my time comes.
♥️
Excellent! I visit my sister in a nursing home and would love to change their food supply. Your opening remarks are the exact conversation i had with her yesterday.
Thank you so much Dr Baker! We need more of our seniors understanding the crippling effects of sugar!
I really appreciate this interview what an angle Hal is thank you, sir..... I'm 66 and just had my full blood/Medical from 1 yr ago and on carnivore for only 2 Months. Result lost 8kg all blood work came back excellent. 12 months ago I had elevated liver and low vitamin D. 3rd year since breast cancer surgery/radiation treatment with all clear results Bowl test negative. I'm feeling fantastic walking every day & intermittent fasting with no alcohol. The doctor was pleased but still needed to lose 7kg. My husband is doing carnivore with me and his medical exam came back great also. If anyone is having trouble deciding just do it it will be the best decision you can make.
Tks Doc for bringing in such a kind and great man for this interview. I am learning ways to help educate my elderly parents and in-laws on their diet. So refreshing to see someone who actually cares.
During my 24 year enlisted Air Force career and still now 23 years after retiring I am continually gratified at the integrity of Air Force officers in contrast to the everyday businessman or politician operating by hook or by crook.
Same. Air Force vet. Amazing how many fellow AF vets are helping others in the low carb, ketogenic, carnivore communities. Very smart, very good people.
My husband was a Navy pilot, F-14s & F-18’s, later flew for United airlines. He’s also a great person, very humble, loves cats. I think most military people have this integrity
@@zelaevatomcat6927 Agreed. Sorry for being a bit myopic there.😉
My mum would see her friends move out of their home and go to a senior’s lodge or nursing home.
She said in about 3-4 months they looked worse and their health quickly declined.
Ideally, She continues to be well, active independent, because she doesn’t eat like her friends did… plus she walked and still walks everywhere.
I am 67 years old my patient is 86 years old I am a home health aide and I always have kind of been into my health and I'm glad I found the carnivore diet I am now on it and giving it to my patient so we can have the gift of life we're only into it for days hopefully by the end of the month to be some changes
May All assisted living facilities take up your protocol this is wonderful!!
Such important information. What a relief to hear that someone is trying to improve conditions and health for our elderly.
I’m 68 yrs old, on Carnivorous. I lost 20lbs in 6 weeks without trying. I was just wanting to be healthier. My last doctors appt was excellent.
When the body is carb-loaded there is a significant amount of water retention, resulting in swollen limbs and waistline. I just came off a one-week cruise, eating low-carb, high meat, skipping breakfast but 4-5 meals and enjoying 5-8 desserts per day. The 12 hours after I got off the ship, I went to pee every three hours despite barely drinking any water at all, and with no food intake. I was shocked how much water is retained with my carb intake for just one week.
Hal Cranmer you are a pillar and we love you. This is a perfect example of doing unto others as yourself.
He is doing the Lords work...amazing!
I'm seventy-one and in pretty good condition for my age now but I developed epilepsy at the age of twenty-nine and the medication made me so ill I was unable to work for the rest of my life. I'm now more able to function on a carnivore diet than I was then. It's the best thing I ever did.
Mr. Hal Cranmer is an amazing gentleman! He goes to great lengths to do what's best for people. It's individuals like him who help me to continue to have faith in human nature (which sometimes is not easy)!
Thank you 🙏🏽 🤍💛❤️🖤 my Mum is about to leave a nursing home fully recovered from dementia and diabetes at age 73 as per my request to remove all medication from her good self and we are going to be hitting the road for a trip of a lifetime 🎉 I’m just 3 weeks into carnivore and I will be transitioning Mum as well within 2 weeks. 🙏🏽
awesome to see these 2 men helping people. God bless you both
What a great guy Mr Cranmor is! How many listeners would love to put their loved ones in one of his homes.
What a wonderful man. Not many people in this industry care.
Wow, he’s quite an amazing human!! 🥹 so much compassion for those in his facility. Truly improving the quality of life. What a hero! 🦸♂️
What a nice comment :) I clicked on your page and saw you had some interesting stuff with like longevity, fasting, I saw Steven Bancarz, and some other things. Are you a Christian? Or, Christian carnivore :)) You have A LOT of worship music!! Are you on the carnivore diet? I'm not doing the diet right now, but am about to try it like 80-90%.
So refreshing. Thanks 👍👍👍
69.5 years old and carnivore for 3 years. Changed my life for the better in every way.
You've had some great episodes but this was by far one of the best ones I think.
What they feed people in these places is a real problem. I was in the hospital and the food trays had equivalent 12 to 20 teaspoons of sugar with a small portion of meat. Horrific.
Wow, can I book one of his facilities now if I ever need it?
Excellent info and such an important topic! I would imagine that Mr Cranmer will have waiting lists for both residents and employees who are not interested in receiving or providing the usual standard of care. Well done, gentlemen!
Always great to hear about people doing the right thing for his patients
