I'm no expert on anything and have only my story to share. I'm 62 now but since my mid 40's I have had "arthritis" and chronic low back pain. I have taken so many pain pills, had cortisone injections and tried everything to no avail. Then at 59 I DROPPED SUGAR, SEED OILS and went on a ketovore diet for WEIGHT LOSS ONLY. I have not had a bit of low back pain or arthritis in the last 3 years now. Off all 7 daily medications and lost 52 pounds but the loss of pain was the best side effect I have ever experienced. Sounds weird, I know but this is my story.
Losing weight will also take the force off the joints and regular exercise stretches ligaments and promotes joint lubrication. So all of the results are holistic
@@fazole I have Psoriatic Arthritis - all over. In my jaw, fingers and toes, weight loss had no effect on those areas. I stopped eating grains and pain free for 18 months. I do fasting too
When I started eating clean, and growing, and knowing where all my food came from. Most importantly owning dairy goats my health has changed drastically. I feel amazing now at 61 🎉
Makes perfect sense. I have a connective tissue disease called Elhers Danlos. It makes one's joints and skin very mobile. Over time your ligaments can become so loose and mobile that your joints can become unstable. The combination of deconditioning from inactivity during the pandemic and aging made me develop all over joint pain very quickly in my early 60's. I went to my primary doctor, had blood tests and PT several times, saw orthopedics, even saw a physiatrist and had imaging. They found injuries like a torn labrum and hip impingement. More PT. The Physical therapist never assessed me for anything but gave me a few exercises. I tried to do them but could not walk more than 4 blocks so ultimately it didn't do a lot. They did not connect my osteo arthritis pain and trigger fingers to inflammation coming from high triglycerides. This even though I was eating a whole foods diet but also high carb. I had no idea at first that I was suffering from metabolic syndrome because I was only slightly overweight at the time (26 BMI) and felt good except for the pain. I thought it was Elhers Danlos causing all of it. Enter Carnivore. Within 3 weeks all the pain except for my injuries was gone. Now I know why. I still get pain from over work, bad posture, and compensation but I can recover quicker and keep trying to walk farther, do more PT exercises while walking and slowly gain strength. I'm also losing weight which will help me put less stress on my joints. How all those doctors could see me and not make the connection baffles me. I'm glad I saved myself. I've got a ways to go but I feel confident I can turn this around on carnivore and with my new found ability to move my body. I'm grateful to shows like this to help me figure out the patterns and fill in the missing pieces of what I need for true health and well being. Thank you!
I am 55yo have hEDS too and do best on a primarily animal-based diet, free of seed oils and grains. I was metabolically unwell at a BMI of barely 18, on a good day. You'll be shocked (s/) to hear it was overlooked. I think we might be wobbly in the metabolic department, as well. It just may or may not look a little different than normies.
Doctors, if they can be bothered, or don't have much spare time, often only read the conclusions of studies. But these often conflict with the raw data of studies/surveys as the people conducting them rely on money from sponsors like Big Ag and Big Pharma.
I am 52 and have hEDS. I went totally grain free in july 2019 due to all reactions which turned out to be celiac + corn allergy. I mainly eat a grass fed meat diet with a little organic fruit (provides potassium). I do quite well on this diet. Have lots of energy and I can walk quite far. But if I would eat foods I react to (food sensitivities + allergies) my joints would be SO bad! I remember many years ago I had once ate the "wrong" bread and my knees got so bad I could barely get onto a bus. Yet last weekend I walked 11 miles. I definitely have a lot of food sensitivities. I believe its also the junk they spray on the produce too. I have managed to add eggs back to my diet. But I have figured out years ago its certain food that causes joint pain. Or ear ringing. Bananas give me ear ringing. I heard they are ripened with corn based gas. Its nearly impossible to avoid the dumb corn.
Thanks im a bit worried because of having heart probs n didnt use fats but had marge,s n seed oils also sugars in prrocesed n pasta vwg potatoes and spotatoes and juice s n not 100 mls 1/2 a bottle small writting probably enough for 4 and other not looking realy at what turns to sugar in carb s Ah
Just cutting out seed oils and gluten is great. People think it's all the meat I eat. I guess if they were not eating meat before. Keto doesn't work long term causes insulin resistance. I'll post the Dr discussing. I've heard it from 3 sources. But doctors refuse to test fasting insulin for some reason they just test fasting glucose which is not a good indicator of diabetes.
90% carnivore here. Started carb cycling with white rice once every 3rd day and noticed my Inflamation in joints kick up a bit. My wife made a few home made sugar cookies with chocolate chips and m & m’s and I ate three of them with a scoop of ice cream and magic shell about a week ago. Needless to say I passed out asleep within an hour, and woke up Within 30 minutes with searing pain in my knuckles and hands. Took a 72 hr fast to knock it down after that. It 100% causes inflammation
I was wondering if pasta would do the same thing to me. 90%myself too. 2 months in and feeling a lot better from chronic back pain. To scared to try to add pasta back in! The pain was debilitating.
I agree. Grains set me off too. Many people can tolerate them. I also think that many people are suffering because something they eat every is causing them pain, something they would not even consider. Years ago I was working at a job where I had to park miles away from the office. Walking was painful. I went on a crash diet to cut way back on carbs for a few days and my foot pain disappeared. Previous such crash diets I had cut back on the wheat products but not eliminated them. I would never have known and probably just assumed it was growing older.
Grains are the worst! I don't eat much rice. Try the AIP diet plan. It's not things you eat that make you better, it's all about certain things you don't eat which causes an immune system reaction and inflammation and pain. In my case grains! Approx 10% of people with RA also become celiacs in later life.
I am so glad for all the people who found relief. I am 70 active all my life. Pe teacher and coach. I Walk 4-5 miles daily. Hike once a week 5+ miles. Exercise 3 times a week with light weights eat clean for 10 years, IT fasting. Keto. No sugar, no alcohol almost no carbs about 6 years. I suffer from Shoulder and back pain for lat 6 month, and now in my hands. It is impossible to enjoy a painfree day or night and just got diagnosed with arthritis . Now what I am 5.4 and weigh 106 lbs pretty much all my life. Which some one would address issues for those that are NOT overweight.
I've had RA for 65 years (Stills disease). Over the many years I have learnt that it is better to keep my weight down, eat a small breakfast - e.g. Greek yoghurt and tree nuts, then a large lunch with lots of variety and light tea - nothing after 8pm. Red wine is the best of the alcoholic drinks (one glass of red a day, white wine causes sinus problems within 30 mins!) and I avoid ALL grains (all wheat, oats, barley and rye gluten and any GF products which contain any type of grain, inc beer :-( -I was diagnosed celiac 8 years ago) - grains are a very big cause of joint pain and inflammation the next day. I use only olive, avocado or coconut oil. I tend to avoid acidic fruit/veg like tomatoes, apples, rhubarb. Apples and coffee induce migraines - haven't had a migraine in 40 years bar the odd accidental ingestion (fruit pectin in a sauce contained apple and didn't find out until too late!). So 65 years of my own experimentation and research seems to agree with this video!
Joint pain is a symptom of hormone decline! Not aging! Frozen shoulder is common in perimenopause and menopause and can be alleviated with hormone replacement! The same is true in men whose T levels have fallen. Hormone replacement helps tremendously! My frozen shoulder completely resolved after getting an estradiol patch! Make sure to get enough though! I needed the max dose. 1mg estradiol to 1.5mg is great for me! Along with Prometrium. My knee and hip pain disappeared after just weeks of being on hormone replacement!
Any cancerous cells in men especially the prostate are fed to grow with T replacement. It is to cancer what fertilizer is to grass. Too bad but, that is a fact. Just monitor yourself well if doing T Replacement after age 50.
My doctor won’t put me on it because I’ve a pea size spot in my breast. I had the same 5 years ago when I was taking HRT orally. But now I’m too old for a patch. Feels inconsistent
I was on Carnivore fir 6 months, all joint pain went away, osteoporosis/arthritis was horrible, chronic inflammation gone. I recently went on a trip started eating carbs/sugar and it all came back ugh!! Hard lesson bank on Carni! Thank you. Will get the shoes!
The best shoes for me are Brooks GTS shoes. So awesome! I am 75 years old. I walk every single day. I also found that eating whole vegetables, taking Astaxanthin and berberine, really help with inflammation. I drink a protein shake daily, no flour of any kind, no sugar or alcohol.
The masseur I go to is also a competitive power lifter specialised in benchpress. He had joint pain for many years and puss coming through the skin at the elbow. He just figured it was due to all the heavy lifting. A year ago he tried gluten free diet and lo and behold the pain went away. No puss oozing out longer. Also he regained mobility that he hadnt seen since being a teenager. So much mobility that he had to train 6 months to get used to the extra mobility and not get hurt competing innthe bench! Crazy story. If I didnt know him personally Id never believe it..
I was on a super clean diet; almost had to quit my job as a concept artist due to wrist pains. Went keto; it became tolerable. Went high fat carnivore and it’s completely gone.
That's great to hear, did you have to do the diet for long to get results? I'm in the same boat and worry about the art career because of wrist issues. Would love to see your art too by the way
Yes, I agree. As a massage therapist, I have strengthened my hands, fingers, wrist, and the rest of my body to endure the job over time. But last year my knuckles, started hurting and it felt deep. Not like my knuckle, but it felt like bone. Like what arthritis must feel like. And I noticed a direct correlation between glutinous foods and how it affected me. Switching to a ketovore lifestyle, I have had no pain in my joints and I recover after a heavy patient load sooo fast! Its incredible!
I went through some horrible low zinc problems , that turned into weak stomach acid and an allergic reaction to foods containing sulphur, I had to avoid sulphur untill I found out my problem, and sulphur is an necessary element and. I found out that the body uses sulphur to make natural glucosamine , So for some people they might need more zinc, copper and sulphur containing foods like eggs and supplement with Msm to increase the glucosamine level in the body. I've never heard of any one being said to be glucosamine depleted but I believe we will in the future . This may be the cause of disc disaccation or drying out , wich can lead to other severe conditions .
I am 65. I am trim and I eat lots of protein and fat, with lower carbs. I have Little to no joint pain. My morbidly obese siblings are miserable and almost all of my conversation with them centers around their joint pain.
I'm carnivore and church potlucks are interesting. I'm 78, a pain-free carnivore. People say they wish they had half my energy as they eat casseroles, rolls, and desserts. Nobody wants to do what I do to be healty
@@judymiller5154 I don't eat much at them ( The church potlucks ) anymore, usually some chicken and collard greens if they're available. I still enjoy the fellowship tho!
I can relate to you. My siblings have either gout, diabetes, heart meds, early dementia, etc. Their adult children are huge and gearing towards same diseases. I am 71 turned carnivore 4 months ago. I’ve reversed diabetes, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, chronic kidney disease has stopped. I was mostly on vegetarian or keto or fish diet my entire life. Carnivore is the real deal.
Perfectly timed vid for me. Diagnosed athropathy and a herniated disc l5s1. Tossed the drugs and just started walking... symptoms improved ten fold over a week. All my favorite health youtubers been saying this within the past week. Truly appreciate your work. You changing lives OG! GOD BLESS Also take boswellia and turmeric/ curcumin. Working wonders.
I’ve done keto for 6 years and carnivore for 4 months while having a steady exercise routine including weight training and lots of walking. I have not been overweight and have good muscle mass for a 61 year old woman. The best think for my joint pain is estrogen therapy. After a year of terrible hip and low back pain that I tried my hardest to exercise away, it turned out that tweaking my estrogen dose was the answer.
The fact that carnivores report an improvement in their arthritis symptoms also suggests that joint pain is associated with metabolic syndrome and hyperinsulinemia
@Ashlyn-qg5ttNo. The data clearly indicates that lean muscle mass is a major contributing factor. It's not solely about excess adipose tissue. To remediate chronic inflammation you need to build and maintain lean muscle, reduce adipose tissue, get sufficient restful sleep nightly, and manage stress (cortisol).
If you're having joint pain and arthritis you need to take a look at what you're eating. There are certain plants that will cause inflamation in your joints. . Like mustard greens. All plants have an enzymes that protects them against insects.. This enzyme can cause joint pain.. Some plants you need to blanched with boiling salt water and then drain off the water to get rid of that enzyme
You are spot on when you say, " I believe God has a plan for me." I certainly enjoy your work, which is appreciated and important for people who appreciate true journalism. Please keep on being you while loving yourself.
this makes so much sense to me! I am 60 and have been caring for my elderly parentsover the past near decade and in the process I have become much more home bound therefore much less active, I have become addicted to carbs and sugar, gained weight and in the process my knees hips and lower baclk have become so painful, my range of motion in all my joints are so much more limited!
I am 61 and had an acute bucket handle tear of my left meniscus, surgically repaired 3 years ago. The right knee is much more troubling to me even though it has had much less mechanical injury. So yes to the metabolic theory.
I developed arthritis after a fall in a store. I tried everything for the pain. Months of therapy, exercise etc. took anti inflammation drugs. Nothing helped. I recently had hip replacement. Prior to the injury I was in the gym 5-6 days a week. Did 8- 12, 000 steps each day. Waiting to go back. Oh, I'm 74 years old. Have 40 lbs more to lose.
Yep, in the last 2 years I have learned to tune my metabolic system much better... add carbs for high output only... rest of the time healthy keto keeps me SOLID mentally and physically!
I developed a trigger finger in my left hand after being very lax on my diet for a year or so. Drastically limiting starches and/or sugars has almost completely resolved it in two months. I have very bad circulation in my lower arns due to chemo injections I received many years ago when battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Being Keto/VLC keeps symptoms in check.
I have some arthritis. Recent lab tests showed my pH to be 6. 7 or slightly more is ideal. I'm using 1/2 tsp of baking soda twice a day to raise pH. My joints are getting better. I use pH strips to check my urine. 1/2 tsp at breakfast and 1/4 tsp at dinner may be the right amount for me. I've also seen a general increase in energy level and fewer problems with reflux.
Im glad you are talking about overweight. When a health person talks about weight, people and the media feel your Fat Shaming! NO! It's about health diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. A lot of doctors won't tell their patients that they are overweight because they are afraid of losing them as a patient. They would rather drug them up. It's all about health viewers. 😊
Have been on the carnivore diet for about 13 months now. It took the 1st 7 months to lose 60 pounds and reverse many metabolic syndrome issues including obesity, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy of hands and feet, frequent urination, sleep disorders including sleep apnea, etc,etc,etc. My osteoarthritis in the 2nd through 5th medial and distal knuckles bilaterally as well as many trigger finger issues have become minimal with more healing expected as I travel further down the carnivore road. What a blessing to be in ketosis and feeling and functioning like a young person again!!!
@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hello. Cholesterol is not something to concern me or you. It has been blamed for everything, but the real enemy is insulin resistance, driven by sugar and carbs. The food industry has enormous sway, and everything has been corrupted. The brain is 40% cholesterol. Why do you think there is an explosion in mental health issues. Alzheimers and parkinsons are dramatically increasing, and everyone is put on statin meds to cut cholesterol. The results are obvious. I no longer fear alzheimers or parkinsons. I dont fear cancer. Im med free and my physical and mental health is nothing short of magical. Im never hungry, never tired. I had 50yrs of ibs, gastric reflux, abdominal pain and bloating. It all disappeared in week 2 of my diet. Gone. I have had zero fibre in 11mths. My gut health has become completely normalised and background. Fatty beef, bacon, eggs. My transformation has been somewhat startling to me. Its real, and it works for everyone. Every chronic illness I had from arthritis to cardiovascular disease and t2 diabetes has been reversed. I dropped 75lbs effortlessly. My testosterone and manliness are strikingly obvious. I dont know what to say, except that carnivore is very real. Many women have trouble with this diet as they are traditionally less likely to find a big fatty steak desirable. But, many women, including my wife, have received stunning results. Good luck.
@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hi. When talking diet, contrary to popular opinion, cholesterol levels are not particularly important. My cholesterol levels went high initially and then stabilised after a while. Im not at all concerned. Cholesterol has been demonised unjustly, it is not the cause of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance is, caused by sugar and carbs. The best indicator of cardiovascular disease is the total calcium score. Mine returned recently at zero, none detected. Unprecedented. Most carnivores return similiar scores. Ive kicked all my meds. Statin meds are awful and pointless. The combination of our 'destroy cholesterol at all costs ' approach and Statin meds is likely the cause of the explosion of mental health issues. I no longer expect to get, or fear, alzheimers or parkinsons. The brain is over 40% cholesterol, and is the body's prime user of it. Starving the brain of cholesterol has obvious effects. On Carnivore I lost 75lbs effortlessly. I cured t2 diabetes in week 3. My inflammation markers are incredibly low. I sleep like a baby. I dont snore. I never get hungry, i never get tired. My mental health is fabulous. Brain fog, depression, anxiety; all just vanish. Jump in, my transformation has been somewhat startling for me. I am constantly surprised as to how good i feel at 63. Im back in the workplace now shaming guys half my age. I go orienteering with my dogs, as an act of pleasure. My testosterone is through the roof. I have regained my life and my power.
I had chronic shoulder pain then knee pain. Both have cleared with eating more protein and lifting heavy. Heavy weights and stretching with muscle contraction and weights. Hitting the muscle groups 2-3 times a week. I eat according to macros, with carbs, protein and fat. I walk 8-10K steps . Sleep 7-8 hrs a night. Sweat, dry brush and castor to detox.
@katiestark7527 geçmiş olsun. kaç yaşındasınız. Diz ağrılarınız kaç senedir var. Belirtileri neydi yani ne şikayet vardı merdiven inip çıkarken mi, çömelince mi,birde dizinizden çatır çutur ses ve sürtünme gıcırdama hissi oluyormuydu
I'm 30 and was diagnosed with arthritis last year. I work out daily and do 45min walks and weight training (have for over 10 years). Unfortunately my joint pain still really ebbs and flows but can be so painful so I'll need to try a low carb diet. It'll be tough because I love to cook and will need to modify my meals greatly but I'll definitely give it a try because I don't want to get on pills.
Lol I’ve had so many injuries, but enjoy life and have a positive attitude towards your life!! I read all the comments and yes, pain is terrible and can cause great pain- I have it every day. Just change Ing diets is not a guarantee!!
This explains a lot. I have been told for years that I have osteoarthritis but my recent blood work showed off the chart systemic inflammation. I'll do more reading on this possibility.
I had trigger finger 6 years ago. It was awful and then I got RA a few years later. Which is in remission for almost a year on Carnivore. I had no idea about the Trigger Finger. Very interesting to learn more about the joints. Thank you : )
Totally agree with this. In addition, imbalances in skeletal structure cause problems. My frozen hip flexors contributed to the degeneration of the off side knee cartilage. I remediated the flexors and the knee healed.
@@sherryanderson1770 Sitting disease includes hip and low back muscles. I do side scissors with a resistance band. Another is to put one foot on a raiser (8" - 12"." Supporting your weight on that foot lower yourself down onto the heel of the other foot but just tap then lift your weight back up. Remember to lift your hip up level each time. Another is to put your back on a bench with feet on the ground. Put a weight across the hips. Raise and lower the hips squeezing the gluts on the lift.
Great video!! I went on Low carb/ keto and go rid of all joint pain in my hips and headaches!!! I only get headaches now if I drink or eat carbs. Hips are perfect! I do take collagen and glucosamine by tablet which I think helps! I notice if I stop eating eggs my hair growth slows down (don’t know why!) I also take micronutrients, copper, boron, etc and minerals, multivitamins etc, omega 3!!! ❤
Eggs have biotin in them or atleast the yolk does, this helps your hair grow, especially if you sepertate or don't eat the white as that blocks the biotin
Good advice. I've come to these same conclusions over the years and the improvements in my joint pain and inflammation have been life changing; especially by restricting feeding window, removing gluten and doing a few longer 48-72 hour fasts.
After accepting what I was taught re “wear and tear,” I began noticing that my patients with OA weren’t usually the ones “wearing out” their joints. Now, if orthopedic strategies are not effective and reversing signs & symptoms, I counsel on metabolic health strategies.
I am 69 forever I am on the carnivore diet because I was getting kidney stones. Horrible, so On the 1st of this year I gave up all carbs. No sugar, no pasta etc. extra...WOW do I feel good! I'm down 35 lbs.
I'm interested in trying this, and I HAVE had kidney stones in the past (calcium oxalate), and I'm concerned that I might develop Uric acid stones if I try this. How do you avoid that?
56 years old, active with resistance 10:41 tracing my entire adult life, recently I had a meniscus tear and it could become inflamed from certain activities to the point my whole leg from hip to ankle would throb with searing pain. This inflammation also caused my BP to spike. I dropped carbs and the first day pain dropped from a 10 down to a 3, second day pain was around 1 to 0, stayed that way for a week. Ate a small amount of carbs after a week at one meal and knee pain was back in 30 min after that meal, at maybe a 4. No more carbs since and pain stays around zero, except sometimes after walking 6-8k steps it will return to a 1 or 2 briefly. Not sure what’s going on but carbs set off an inflammation cascade and it’s repeatable. Also BP is normal now 115/72 average morning and night.
2 months of 90% carnivore really helped my chronic back pain. I still use kratom daily but am able to back off the pain meds. Most of the really sharp pain is gone.
Amazing video. Thank you for the information. I am only 25% into this video and am shocked at the information 😳 OA and the connection with Metobolic Health. I suffer from OA, RA, chronic inflammation, joint pain, herniated and degenerative disc disease, etc..... I had a very good feeling that all my health issues were related in a way this. Great video and info. Can not wait to watch the entire video...
I get severe joint pain from mostly sugar aka fructose. I do drink once a week so take that as you will. Anyway I went vegan last year and became a cripple at 53yrs old. I kept at it but my joints suddenly got so bad I was bed ridden. I thought I was sugar free but after looking at my diet I found up to 100gms to 150gms of sugar aka half fructose.I have to keep repeating this as some health channels, more specifically Delaur has repeatedly shown videos titled sugar and its detriments but shows bread, rice and pasta. Anyway so I noticed the amount of sugar and did a test for a month where all I ate was non sugar aka pure glucose foods such as rice and pasta and oats. I found out that my inflammation is the worst from sugar, MUCH less reduced inflammation when on starch and little inflammation when doing carnivore. I am so sensitive to sugar that I went and purchased a canned soup and ate it one night and woke up in pain. I then tested and tested with zero sugar foods and lo and behold at least for me the fructose is the culprit. Its everywhere from bread to chips to even hot sauce.
I’m 9 weeks into high fat carnivore, Im still not sleeping well and I’m in the peak of my shoulder bursitis flare. I sure hope this lifestyle will heal me soon. I am losing fat, visceral fat. I plan to stay the course, I read so many amazing testimonies in the comments. Thank you for the good information in this video.
My approach to heal my joints is to use them (without more damage) in order to generate signals for healing, combined with fasting and refeeding cycles (rocking the autophagy, stem cell activation song ;^). Good luck to us all.
I did keto and lost weight and all the swelling in my knees, hands and ankles a few years ago. I have an allergy to eggs, nuts, almonds are the highest nut reaction on allergy blood test, and shellfish. So it was an extremely limited diet. Then I started having gut issues, almost passed out from pain and ended up in hospital after bleeding from bowels for several days. Had scarring showing on colonoscopy. So I'd love to try again, but scared of ending up having the same problem. I consume fiber powder, olive oil, dates, plus extra senna when needed now just to keep regular. I don't eat wheat as also have thyroid issues and gluten is a no no for thyroid but eat other grains to keep my system regular. I've incorporated collagen powder and now starting gelatin in my 1 coffee every morning. Walking great with some knee pain but much less. Also strength training with weights at home has helped immensely with general energy and health. Any ideas of how to do keto or carnivore successfully without constipation?
BORON DEFICIENCY is also another cause of arthritis. It helps with the metabolic absorption of vitD and also bone health. It lowers estrogen levels and raises testosterone levels too! An amazing mineral that is missing from our modern day crops/food. I would love for you to do a video on this VITAL TRACE MINERAL.
great advice and research, I will not eat a carnivore diet, just can't so not sure what else to do, will definitely ditch the bread, gluten though, and all refined sugar
No need to listen, here is the breakdown., 1. **Metabolic Origins of Osteoarthritis (0:20)**: It's recognized that osteoarthritis is not just a mechanical degeneration of joints but also has metabolic factors. Metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions like obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, is linked to increased systemic inflammation that can exacerbate osteoarthritis. 2. **Low Carb Diet and Exercise (0:30)**: Diet and exercise are essential in managing osteoarthritis. A low carbohydrate diet can help reduce inflammation, and regular physical activity is known to improve joint function and reduce pain. Both are standard recommendations for managing arthritis symptoms. 3. **Inflammation and Body Weight (3:50)**: There is a well-established link between obesity and osteoarthritis. Adipose (fat) tissue releases inflammatory cytokines that can contribute to joint degradation. 4. **Leptin and Inflammation (5:00)**: Leptin, primarily produced by fat cells, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. High levels of leptin are associated with inflammation and may contribute to the degenerative process in joint tissues. 5. **Glucose, Insulin, and Leptin Levels (7:05)**: Insulin resistance, a common feature of metabolic syndrome, is related to increased leptin levels and can contribute to the systemic inflammatory state affecting the joints. 6. **Compressing Feeding Window (8:45)**: This likely refers to intermittent fasting, which can reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health, potentially benefiting those with osteoarthritis. Overall, the points made in your video snapshot are consistent with emerging understandings of osteoarthritis as a disease influenced by metabolic factors and lifestyle choices. Regular exercise, weight management, and dietary adjustments are part of comprehensive management strategies for osteoarthritis.
I suffered sciatica pain from 16 to 43 and a variety of joint pain, but just assumed that it would be present for the rest of my life or until I had back surgery. That all changed after I began the carnivore diet and committed to gradually increasing my range of motion through stretching and deep squats. I am confident that the day will come when we look back and realize that so many of our ailments and chronic issues were really just metabolic in nature and could be fixed through a proper human diet and movement. I’m guessing that won’t happen until corporations figure out a way to profit off of that solution as well as they currently do with pharmaceuticals.
Yes Metabolic, fix thyroid. Old doctors knew this connection. Optimal thyroid so that , under tongue, waking temperatures are between 97.7%F - 98.6F ( 36.6C-37.0C) Just because your on thyroid does not mean your getting enough. Fix thyroid, when dealing with any health issues, it is the foundation of energy delivery in the body. It requires energy to do the repairs!
Yes I understand. Because I have it. I have flare ups. Suddenly one day I have zero pain but the very next day I will have mild joint pain 😮 even I follow proper diet with no sugar , no gluten and very low carbs.
What a no out those like my self who have chronic osteoarthritis arthritis of the large joints knees hips who are petite 62 years old 115 pounds. I have bone on bone wear and tear osteoarthritis arthritis of the right knee and will need high tibial osteitomy in the summer of 2025. I am a dance teacher raised 5 children and worked in healthcare for 25 years. We are not all overweight people but that is always the example. Very interesting facts and happy to know the tides are changing on how we view inflammation and joint pain. Get strong folks.
How did you do with cholesterol? I'm small (100 lbs.) I eat clean and my blood work has always been good, but now, all of a sudden, my cholesterol is going up. Do you think it might help? I also have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
Lovely hearing of Mike hiking with his daughter. Wonderful experiences for girls & any child to have, outdoors, sun, wind, the natural world, & excercise.👌🌄🧡
Hmmm 🤔 I wonder if there is a correlation with women who experience more joint pain in perimenopause…as hormones undergo such a change. I can see how this might be a factor in contributing to joint pain if the leptin hormone is also a contributor during this phase in a women’s health.
💯I CANNOT STRESS enough that I was in (unbeknownst to me) perimenopause & living in joint pain. I was still managing to workout physically fit/metabolically healthy eater but when I went to get up from sitting I could barely walk my feet hurt so bad, my neck with arthritis was EXTREMELY painful for years. I lived through a lot of varying types pain for a few years until I could no longer sleep without waking up soaking wet a few times a night & found out my estrogen was bottomed out & got on HRT. My life COMPLETELY changed. I could literally run again. My quality of life has done a 180 in so many vital ways. Hormones are VITAL to this picture & the whole picture.
When I was in PT skool over 30 years ago, that's what I was taught: "All wear and tear"... which doesn't make sense darn it! Definitely about metabolic dysfunction. What happens is that the degeneration begins from metabolic dysfunction and then the wear- tear kicks in and on top of that, most ppl don't know that they can change diet/ life style so the continue to do whatever began the process in the first place.. so of course it gets worse over time.
For me too much coffee for long time. I would pound 4 cups of coffee in am then go running or hit the gym. My knees were killing me. Also all over my body mostly knees though. Been doing ketovore for years with cheat days here and there. Even got mri on my knees. I check my glucose all the time all good.Last resort quit coffee and joint pain went away. I think I developed cortisol resistance. Body wasn’t responding to cortisol. Like insulin resistance. For real couldn’t believe it. I’m 58 in good shape.
Question: Mike, I'm 59. I've always eaten a few carbs (complex) and little sugars and have never been overweight. For the past 1.5 years I've increased my health routine: - Fasting; having only an early dinner with mostly meats and veggies (then a couple of dark chocolate squares as dessert) - Gym, 4 times a week with warm-up elliptical machine, HIIT, weights. - 5 km of fast walking almost every day - Sleep 9 hours My blood work has been great. Now, both my knees suddenly have low cartilage levels, showing on MRIs. The doctor prescribed hyaluronic injections, since apparently, there is nothing else I can do. What am I supposed to do? It's frustrating that this is happening at the peak of my "doing the right things". I'm scared to continue walking and exercising since the problems started because of that?
What advice can you suggest to a woman who is 77 yrs young with hip issues. Have been an active person most of my life, and was told i had arthritis 7 yrs ago. Used to ski, hike, walk and did gymnastics/cheerleading when young that I blame on my hip joint pain. BUT....this new way of thinking sounds good. Can I cure my hip issues by dietary means so that I do not need hip surgery?
I ate carnivore for 7 months. The stiffness in my hands got a bit better. The pain became ... worse . I'm jealous of all the people who had good results in such a short time. I didn't. It definately doesn't work for everyone. The last part of carnivore I did lion diet, drinking only water . Couldn't continue with it anymore. Tired of no result and tired of eating beef. Started to have problem with gallbladder too.
Have you heard of the book The Glucose Revolution? It’s by a French biochemist. I forgot her name. It’s about how to manage your glucose levels and how they affect the body with inflammation etc. I’m the same as you with carnivore. I also get kidney pain and feel very unwell with liver and gallbladder pain. I do have fatty liver though from a high carb lifestyle previously. I’m trying to do the glucose revolution method with my food now. Low starch high fibre veggies to start my meal, protein second and high starch if needed at the end. It’s supposed to blunt the glucose spike and reduce inflammation and glycation.
Starting to make some connections here. Joint pain is related to inflammation, as seems to be every disease. And grounding outside can greatly reduce inflammation. And being that inflammation seems to be the root cause of just about every health issue, grounding can help with just about anything. I've experienced some benefits, including less abdominal pain/discomfort when I go barefoot outside, but I hope to increase the amount of time spent outside as time goes on and thus see even more benefits.
I have always believed that the blood being slightly alkaline is so important that if we have overly acidic blood, then the body, with its wisdom, pulls minerals from the bone causing sharp arthritic spurs.
Yes I’m low carb with osteoarthritis in my right hip exercise improves it greatly. Only aches in the morning. May try carnivore but it’s a boring diet to see if it removes the aches I have in the morning
Earth Runners are the best shoe. They ground you to the earth electrically with a copper rivet through the sole and silver thread around the straps on your foot.
Arthritis in my hands. It started almost a yr ago. Thumb pain at the base of my thumb. I'm an autoworker so I chalked it up to wear and tear. I do eat alpt of fruit and alot of meat. So.maybe less fruit. Ty
That is absolutely not true! Starting from myself and people I know we are all fit and very slim eat healthy and do all sorts of exercise and yet we have osteoarthritis. I wish people would stop talking like in this video about being overweight and having arthritis or osteoarthritis and completely forgetting heaps of us do not fit that old cliche profile!! Very disappointed!!😢
i was a 5 mile a day runner. i walked miles every day.i was a swimmer and dancer and i stll got osteoarthritis. how do you explain that. i was also a healthy eater. what else could i have done to prevent arthritis. what youre saying about exercising doesnt apply to me because i was always exercising.
If you have high load of Epstein barr virus, zoster virus in your blood, it does not matter. You can be a rockstar, or Rafael Nadal. His carrier is over, but he is not aware what he brings in his blood. I can guarantee in my life that this is root cause of your problem. Cheers
@willm So that would mean that carnivore is not for everyone and that not eating animal or by products is fine for others and still achieves the joint pain dilemma.
I never got an answer on how to solve my insomnia problems on carnivore. My cortisol goes up, my HRV lowers (because of severe sleep deprivation).... even after 6 weeks of strict adherence. And yes of course I take my electrolytes and minerals like Magnesium. I also took tryptophan and 5HTP to improve serotonin, but to no avail. Eating 100 grams of carbs solves the problem.
6 weeks isn't actually a long time to really become Fat Adapted ,whereby, we become efficient at using Fats for fuel .Depending on the person , it may take 6 months to develop an efficient ketogenesis . It can depend on our metabolic health ,or lack of it ,before starting keto.
@@kenadams5504 my sleep deprivation was so severe that I couldn't go to work and became ill with flu eventually because of compromised immune system. So basically it's not for me, because of the lack of serotonin I experienced.
@@angieobes9835 yes, I'm absolutely keeping an eye on carbs and eat mine with the latest meal of the day to boost serotonin. But in the end my sleep is too important and having enough energy to work and therefore able to pay for food and bills.
This is true. Arthritis will come to me based on what and how much I eat, I had my worst trigger finger attacks after consuming greek yogurt. I had painful flares in my finger joints after a a few weeks of consuming cheese. I also had flares after consuming whey protein ( which is a processed food as far as I am concerned - anything that ground up into a powder that gets into your system very quickly).
In Ayurveda, it is believed that joint pain (like most pains) is a vata (wind) disease. Low Agni (digestive fire) causes incomplete digestion and amongst other things causes vata/wind/gas and this not only causes but also aggravates arthritis. Anybody can start fasting and experience relief. Do a 24-hour fast and see if the pain does not come down. It will.
The white cells reveal a lot about inflammation as well as the immune system. If neutrophils are consistently high there's inflammation in the body somewhere and it doesn't have to be an infection or cancer but the immune system is seeing something it doesn't like and could be arthritis.
32 years old dealing with joint injuries and joint pain which I am leading to believe is OA. I don't believe any of my issues are stemming from metabolic issues but it's possible during the pandemic. However, I am treating it as a metabolic issue. I'm taking MK677 which increase your metabolic rate. A long with a couple other peptides. I'm on a mission to heal and that sounds crazy but this video gives me hope. I was paleo before and during all of this so I don't see any connection between the food I eat but now I eat mostly meditaranian.
I am 5’5” and 106 pounds, quite thin with severe joint pain in computer mouse hand, stenosis and arthritis in every cervical joint, have had 2 hip replacements.. losing weight does little for hand, neck, arthritis pain, those joints are not weight bearing. Weight loss may help hips and knees. Certainly avoiding sugar and processed meats, alcohol and other junk foods will help improve circulation and metabolic health
Joint pain and my arthritis in my hands disappeared after I went to a carnivore lifestyle. My Sciatic nerve pain also disappeared. If I want to experience the joy of joint and Sciatic nerve pain again all I have to do is eat Asparagus or Brussell Sprouts and it will return for about a week.
After going carnivore, my arthritis was eliminated in three weeks and as an added bonus I no longer have high blood pressure. Think about that: only three weeks for me! Doctor told me I was getting old and slow my routine and accept it: he was also a specialist joint replacement surgeon.
I was on Remicade infusions in my early 30s for years.. until it literally bankrupt me. I was not overweight at all. In fact, I was an athlete, very lean, a runner. Now I can’t afford to be on these infusions so I try my best to stay away from inflammatory foods. But it’s hard because I don’t know, if it’s hormonal changes or what’s going on some days I’m fine with eating raw almonds, but then days like today I’m very inflamed and I’m not sure if it was because I overdid it on the almonds last night perhaps some salsa I try not to do any nightshade vegetables but occasionally I have salsa
Its confusing, isnt it? You say its hard, and you try, but sometimes you know you eat something inflammatory, sometimes you overeat something that might be ok in smaller quantities, I'm guessing sometimes you hurt and have no idea why? Can you even imagine how it would be to NOT hurt, consistently? What would you be willing to do? I had very painful arthritis in my mid-twenties - doc said take aspirin till it didn't work, then I'd get cortisone shots, and btw I had to stop all this activity with horses (my main life's passion)! I'm now 78, still riding, still jogging (4 hilly mi 3x a week), even just started trimming my mare's hooves!! 💪 . I had a lot of "lessons" along the way, but I now say I'd be willing to "eat cardboard" for the rest of my life, if necessary, that no taste, no texture, no momentary mouth pleasure is worth losing a bit of my vitality. Dont get me wrong - I looove sweets, and baked potatoes with butter and sourcream, and hot garlic bread, and Mexican and ravioli!, but I only eat relaxed carnivore (allowing a few plant items like coffee, seasonings), even at church potlucks! May God bless you with a clear path to a pain-free life ❤️🙏❤️
@@judymiller5154 thank you so much for your inspiring message! When I had no choice but to come off of the ridiculously expensive Remicade infusions, my body had to go through a detox process. I noticed that those heavy duty chemotherapy drugs with my hormones, my digestion… Everything! I stopped getting a period in my early 30s for about six years.hen I was able to take some time off from working, And focus on my mental and physical health… running most days of the week, going to spin classes and doing Pilates, eating whole nutritious foods. Mostly just drinking water, green tea, coffee, and apple cider vinegar. And completely completely cutting gluten and nightshade vegetables…l my psoriatic arthritis went away. Eliminating stress was a huge factor. And making sure that I really made my lungs work to get rid of any toxins like the black mold that was in my apartment. So I would try and do training or like you said running up hills to increase my oxygen levels. I lived pain-free and free of psoriasis for a few years but now I’m back to being poor again since my rent has tripled and I kind of went through a trauma about six months ago and I noticed that the information came back tenfold. And foods that didn’t inflame me before like sweet potatoes And dark chocolate and red grapes have definitely contributed to weight gain and inflammation for some reason. So it’s about finding the right balance. But life will definitely be easier. I could just eliminate the stress and not have to worry so much.
Almonds are high oxalates too Very painful when u dump them during periods of strict diet adherence I’ve never noticed nightshades hurting but ofc no potatoes on keto even. Tomatoes n peppers tho I ate plenty, even some eggplant. On carni it’s just some rare tomatoes. I would try strict carni for few mos then try adding back in a food at time to see.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah it’s too bad about the almonds. I eat about a pound of raw almonds a week. I just find that they are a good source of fuel and protein on the go. But what do you mean by strict Carney? Only meet? Can you have a salad with that or asparagus? I don’t eat a whole lot of meat. I mostly fish and chicken and eggs.
I'm no expert on anything and have only my story to share. I'm 62 now but since my mid 40's I have had "arthritis" and chronic low back pain. I have taken so many pain pills, had cortisone injections and tried everything to no avail. Then at 59 I DROPPED SUGAR, SEED OILS and went on a ketovore diet for WEIGHT LOSS ONLY. I have not had a bit of low back pain or arthritis in the last 3 years now. Off all 7 daily medications and lost 52 pounds but the loss of pain was the best side effect I have ever experienced. Sounds weird, I know but this is my story.
So just fats and protein? You can’t have beets or sweet potatoes or fruits or nuts or any legumes?
Losing weight will also take the force off the joints and regular exercise stretches ligaments and promotes joint lubrication. So all of the results are holistic
Congratulations 🎉🎉 my body does best on Adkins... I add some healthy oils
Ditto
@@fazole I have Psoriatic Arthritis - all over. In my jaw, fingers and toes, weight loss had no effect on those areas. I stopped eating grains and pain free for 18 months. I do fasting too
When I started eating clean, and growing, and knowing where all my food came from. Most importantly owning dairy goats my health has changed drastically. I feel amazing now at 61 🎉
Makes perfect sense. I have a connective tissue disease called Elhers Danlos. It makes one's joints and skin very mobile. Over time your ligaments can become so loose and mobile that your joints can become unstable. The combination of deconditioning from inactivity during the pandemic and aging made me develop all over joint pain very quickly in my early 60's.
I went to my primary doctor, had blood tests and PT several times, saw orthopedics, even saw a physiatrist and had imaging. They found injuries like a torn labrum and hip impingement. More PT. The Physical therapist never assessed me for anything but gave me a few exercises. I tried to do them but could not walk more than 4 blocks so ultimately it didn't do a lot. They did not connect my osteo arthritis pain and trigger fingers to inflammation coming from high triglycerides. This even though I was eating a whole foods diet but also high carb. I had no idea at first that I was suffering from metabolic syndrome because I was only slightly overweight at the time (26 BMI) and felt good except for the pain. I thought it was Elhers Danlos causing all of it.
Enter Carnivore. Within 3 weeks all the pain except for my injuries was gone. Now I know why. I still get pain from over work, bad posture, and compensation but I can recover quicker and keep trying to walk farther, do more PT exercises while walking and slowly gain strength. I'm also losing weight which will help me put less stress on my joints. How all those doctors could see me and not make the connection baffles me. I'm glad I saved myself. I've got a ways to go but I feel confident I can turn this around on carnivore and with my new found ability to move my body. I'm grateful to shows like this to help me figure out the patterns and fill in the missing pieces of what I need for true health and well being. Thank you!
I am 55yo have hEDS too and do best on a primarily animal-based diet, free of seed oils and grains. I was metabolically unwell at a BMI of barely 18, on a good day. You'll be shocked (s/) to hear it was overlooked. I think we might be wobbly in the metabolic department, as well. It just may or may not look a little different than normies.
Good on you, & thank you for sharing you inspiring story!
Doctors, if they can be bothered, or don't have much spare time, often only read the conclusions of studies. But these often conflict with the raw data of studies/surveys as the people conducting them rely on money from sponsors like Big Ag and Big Pharma.
I am 52 and have hEDS. I went totally grain free in july 2019 due to all reactions which turned out to be celiac + corn allergy. I mainly eat a grass fed meat diet with a little organic fruit (provides potassium). I do quite well on this diet. Have lots of energy and I can walk quite far. But if I would eat foods I react to (food sensitivities + allergies) my joints would be SO bad! I remember many years ago I had once ate the "wrong" bread and my knees got so bad I could barely get onto a bus. Yet last weekend I walked 11 miles. I definitely have a lot of food sensitivities. I believe its also the junk they spray on the produce too. I have managed to add eggs back to my diet. But I have figured out years ago its certain food that causes joint pain. Or ear ringing. Bananas give me ear ringing. I heard they are ripened with corn based gas. Its nearly impossible to avoid the dumb corn.
Thanks im a bit worried because of having heart probs n didnt use fats but had marge,s n seed oils also sugars in prrocesed n pasta vwg potatoes and spotatoes and juice s n not 100 mls 1/2 a bottle small writting probably enough for 4 and other not looking realy at what turns to sugar in carb s Ah
I started on this journey because of knee pain, wrist pain, elbow pain. No seed oils or grains in 663 days. My joints feel better at 37 versus 27
Fix Thyroid so that blood marker , TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone) is below 1 (
Just cutting out seed oils and gluten is great. People think it's all the meat I eat. I guess if they were not eating meat before. Keto doesn't work long term causes insulin resistance. I'll post the Dr discussing. I've heard it from 3 sources. But doctors refuse to test fasting insulin for some reason they just test fasting glucose which is not a good indicator of diabetes.
Drink clean water 8 glasses with tiny grain of celtic salt in each glass. Coffee, tea, coke etc is dehydrator. Avoid those
90% carnivore here. Started carb cycling with white rice once every 3rd day and noticed my Inflamation in joints kick up a bit. My wife made a few home made sugar cookies with chocolate chips and m & m’s and I ate three of them with a scoop of ice cream and magic shell about a week ago. Needless to say I passed out asleep within an hour, and woke up
Within 30 minutes with searing pain in my knuckles and hands. Took a 72 hr fast to knock it down after that. It 100% causes inflammation
I was wondering if pasta would do the same thing to me. 90%myself too. 2 months in and feeling a lot better from chronic back pain. To scared to try to add pasta back in! The pain was debilitating.
@@blackhillsed4936don’t bother
I love a curry now and again so use cauliflower rice instead. It is not as tasty as proper rice but has far less carbs.
I agree. Grains set me off too.
Many people can tolerate them. I also think that many people are suffering because something they eat every is causing them pain, something they would not even consider.
Years ago I was working at a job where I had to park miles away from the office. Walking was painful. I went on a crash diet to cut way back on carbs for a few days and my foot pain disappeared. Previous such crash diets I had cut back on the wheat products but not eliminated them. I would never have known and probably just assumed it was growing older.
Grains are the worst! I don't eat much rice. Try the AIP diet plan. It's not things you eat that make you better, it's all about certain things you don't eat which causes an immune system reaction and inflammation and pain. In my case grains! Approx 10% of people with RA also become celiacs in later life.
I am so glad for all the people who found relief. I am 70 active all my life. Pe teacher and coach. I Walk 4-5 miles daily. Hike once a week 5+ miles. Exercise 3 times a week with light weights eat clean for 10 years, IT fasting. Keto. No sugar, no alcohol almost no carbs about 6 years. I suffer from Shoulder and back pain for lat 6 month, and now in my hands. It is impossible to enjoy a painfree day or night and just got diagnosed with arthritis . Now what I am 5.4 and weigh 106 lbs pretty much all my life. Which some one would address issues for those that are NOT overweight.
Most health problems start in the gut. Wrong foods and unhealthy habits are the main culprits. Excellent video!
I've had RA for 65 years (Stills disease). Over the many years I have learnt that it is better to keep my weight down, eat a small breakfast - e.g. Greek yoghurt and tree nuts, then a large lunch with lots of variety and light tea - nothing after 8pm. Red wine is the best of the alcoholic drinks (one glass of red a day, white wine causes sinus problems within 30 mins!) and I avoid ALL grains (all wheat, oats, barley and rye gluten and any GF products which contain any type of grain, inc beer :-( -I was diagnosed celiac 8 years ago) - grains are a very big cause of joint pain and inflammation the next day. I use only olive, avocado or coconut oil. I tend to avoid acidic fruit/veg like tomatoes, apples, rhubarb. Apples and coffee induce migraines - haven't had a migraine in 40 years bar the odd accidental ingestion (fruit pectin in a sauce contained apple and didn't find out until too late!). So 65 years of my own experimentation and research seems to agree with this video!
Joint pain is a symptom of hormone decline! Not aging! Frozen shoulder is common in perimenopause and menopause and can be alleviated with hormone replacement! The same is true in men whose T levels have fallen. Hormone replacement helps tremendously!
My frozen shoulder completely resolved after getting an estradiol patch! Make sure to get enough though! I needed the max dose. 1mg estradiol to 1.5mg is great for me! Along with Prometrium. My knee and hip pain disappeared after just weeks of being on hormone replacement!
Any cancerous cells in men especially the prostate are fed to grow with T replacement. It is to cancer what fertilizer is to grass. Too bad but, that is a fact. Just monitor yourself well if doing T Replacement after age 50.
Been looking into this .Was diagnosed with RA and my Testosterone levels are super low.
I’m glad hrt helped you and hoping that upping my dose helps me. My dr only will up it to .05 at the moment though. Did you take Testosyerone too?
My doctor won’t put me on it because I’ve a pea size spot in my breast. I had the same 5 years ago when I was taking HRT orally. But now I’m too old for a patch. Feels inconsistent
Oh ok Doctor. Medication 💊 is not how to solve this. Your diet is.
I was on Carnivore fir 6 months, all joint pain went away, osteoporosis/arthritis was horrible, chronic inflammation gone. I recently went on a trip started eating carbs/sugar and it all came back ugh!! Hard lesson bank on Carni! Thank you. Will get the shoes!
Carnivore is an excellent elimination diet.
The best shoes for me are Brooks GTS shoes. So awesome! I am 75 years old. I walk every single day. I also found that eating whole vegetables, taking Astaxanthin and berberine, really help with inflammation. I drink a protein shake daily, no flour of any kind, no sugar or alcohol.
The masseur I go to is also a competitive power lifter specialised in benchpress.
He had joint pain for many years and puss coming through the skin at the elbow. He just figured it was due to all the heavy lifting.
A year ago he tried gluten free diet and lo and behold the pain went away. No puss oozing out longer. Also he regained mobility that he hadnt seen since being a teenager. So much mobility that he had to train 6 months to get used to the extra mobility and not get hurt competing innthe bench!
Crazy story. If I didnt know him personally Id never believe it..
I was on a super clean diet; almost had to quit my job as a concept artist due to wrist pains. Went keto; it became tolerable. Went high fat carnivore and it’s completely gone.
Are you sure it wasn’t from the fapping?
Thanks for letting us know, Mr. Divinefapper.
@@NukeCloudstalker That’s more tolerable too, because one arm has to use the mouse to skip the bad parts.
That's great to hear, did you have to do the diet for long to get results? I'm in the same boat and worry about the art career because of wrist issues. Would love to see your art too by the way
@@SketchedbySte I can’t exactly remember, since I started carnivore/keto for other reasons. But it didn’t take too long, 2 weeks to 2 months.
Yes, I agree. As a massage therapist, I have strengthened my hands, fingers, wrist, and the rest of my body to endure the job over time. But last year my knuckles, started hurting and it felt deep. Not like my knuckle, but it felt like bone. Like what arthritis must feel like. And I noticed a direct correlation between glutinous foods and how it affected me. Switching to a ketovore lifestyle, I have had no pain in my joints and I recover after a heavy patient load sooo fast! Its incredible!
I went through some horrible low zinc problems , that turned into weak stomach acid and an allergic reaction to foods containing sulphur, I had to avoid sulphur untill I found out my problem, and sulphur is an necessary element and. I found out that the body uses sulphur to make natural glucosamine , So for some people they might need more zinc, copper and sulphur containing foods like eggs and supplement with Msm to increase the glucosamine level in the body. I've never heard of any one being said to be glucosamine depleted but I believe we will in the future . This may be the cause of disc disaccation or drying out , wich can lead to other severe conditions .
I am 65. I am trim and I eat lots of protein and fat, with lower carbs. I have Little to no joint pain. My morbidly obese siblings are miserable and almost all of my conversation with them centers around their joint pain.
I'm carnivore and church potlucks are interesting. I'm 78, a pain-free carnivore. People say they wish they had half my energy as they eat casseroles, rolls, and desserts. Nobody wants to do what I do to be healty
They want to take pills and insulin so they can keep eating their “comfort” food.
@judymiller5154 thanks for sharing
@@judymiller5154 I don't eat much at them ( The church potlucks ) anymore, usually some chicken and collard greens if they're available. I still enjoy the fellowship tho!
I can relate to you. My siblings have either gout, diabetes, heart meds, early dementia, etc. Their adult children are huge and gearing towards same diseases. I am 71 turned carnivore 4 months ago. I’ve reversed diabetes, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, chronic kidney disease has stopped. I was mostly on vegetarian or keto or fish diet my entire life. Carnivore is the real deal.
Perfectly timed vid for me. Diagnosed athropathy and a herniated disc l5s1. Tossed the drugs and just started walking... symptoms improved ten fold over a week. All my favorite health youtubers been saying this within the past week. Truly appreciate your work. You changing lives OG! GOD BLESS
Also take boswellia and turmeric/ curcumin. Working wonders.
I agree on the Boswellia, when I herniated my disk between l4 l5 that was the only supplement that actually helped.
Herniated disc can resolve itself with exercise. This is nothing new
I’ve done keto for 6 years and carnivore for 4 months while having a steady exercise routine including weight training and lots of walking. I have not been overweight and have good muscle mass for a 61 year old woman. The best think for my joint pain is estrogen therapy. After a year of terrible hip and low back pain that I tried my hardest to exercise away, it turned out that tweaking my estrogen dose was the answer.
Try going off the estrogen n see how u do!
I bet you would be ok, honestly
Some doctors say estrogen causes cancer? How do you take it in a safe way
@@anwaarsherwaly4087 alkalizing body WILL help! alkal. diet or baking soda: 1/2 tea spoon with glass of warm water daily
The fact that carnivores report an improvement in their arthritis symptoms also suggests that joint pain is associated with metabolic syndrome and hyperinsulinemia
@Ashlyn-qg5tt vegans say a lot of BS.
It definitely has nothing to do with "weight loss".
If than lowering insulin is a big factor...
My carpal tunnel went away within a week of starting carnivore. It was ineffable
Carnivore is an elimination diet. The fact that it often works when simple low carb does not points to some kind of a food intolerance.
@Ashlyn-qg5ttNo. The data clearly indicates that lean muscle mass is a major contributing factor. It's not solely about excess adipose tissue.
To remediate chronic inflammation you need to build and maintain lean muscle, reduce adipose tissue, get sufficient restful sleep nightly, and manage stress (cortisol).
@Ashlyn-qg5tt Except most carnivores experience improvements before the weight ever comes off.
If you're having joint pain and arthritis you need to take a look at what you're eating. There are certain plants that will cause inflamation in your joints. . Like mustard greens. All plants have an enzymes that protects them against insects.. This enzyme can cause joint pain.. Some plants you need to blanched with boiling salt water and then drain off the water to get rid of that enzyme
Plants are not here for us, they are master biochemists and greatest wizards at biowarfare
Lookup the AIP diet plan to find out what foods your immune system is sensitive to
You are spot on when you say, " I believe God has a plan for me." I certainly enjoy your work, which is appreciated and important for people who appreciate true journalism. Please keep on being you while loving yourself.
this makes so much sense to me! I am 60 and have been caring for my elderly parentsover the past near decade and in the process I have become much more home bound therefore much less active, I have become addicted to carbs and sugar, gained weight and in the process my knees hips and lower baclk have become so painful, my range of motion in all my joints are so much more limited!
I am 61 and had an acute bucket handle tear of my left meniscus, surgically repaired 3 years ago. The right knee is much more troubling to me even though it has had much less mechanical injury. So yes to the metabolic theory.
I developed arthritis after a fall in a store. I tried everything for the pain. Months of therapy, exercise etc. took anti inflammation drugs. Nothing helped. I recently had hip replacement. Prior to the injury I was in the gym 5-6 days a week. Did 8- 12, 000 steps each day.
Waiting to go back. Oh, I'm 74 years old. Have 40 lbs more to lose.
Cutout carbs and do not exercise, only light movement, it should go away
Yep, in the last 2 years I have learned to tune my metabolic system much better... add carbs for high output only... rest of the time healthy keto keeps me SOLID mentally and physically!
I developed a trigger finger in my left hand after being very lax on my diet for a year or so. Drastically limiting starches and/or sugars has almost completely resolved it in two months. I have very bad circulation in my lower arns due to chemo injections I received many years ago when battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Being Keto/VLC keeps symptoms in check.
I have some arthritis. Recent lab tests showed my pH to be 6. 7 or slightly more is ideal. I'm using 1/2 tsp of baking soda twice a day to raise pH. My joints are getting better. I use pH strips to check my urine. 1/2 tsp at breakfast and 1/4 tsp at dinner may be the right amount for me. I've also seen a general increase in energy level and fewer problems with reflux.
Im glad you are talking about overweight. When a health person talks about weight, people and the media feel your Fat Shaming! NO!
It's about health diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. A lot of doctors won't tell their patients that they are overweight because they are afraid of losing them as a patient.
They would rather drug them up. It's all about health viewers. 😊
Have been on the carnivore diet for about 13 months now. It took the 1st 7 months to lose 60 pounds and reverse many metabolic syndrome issues including obesity, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy of hands and feet, frequent urination, sleep disorders including sleep apnea, etc,etc,etc. My osteoarthritis in the 2nd through 5th medial and distal knuckles bilaterally as well as many trigger finger issues have become minimal with more healing expected as I travel further down the carnivore road. What a blessing to be in ketosis and feeling and functioning like a young person again!!!
Carnivore, 63, 10months in. Cured many things, but certainly arthritis, joint pain, lower back pain all gone, and in very short time.
How your cholesterol?
@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hello. Cholesterol is not something to concern me or you. It has been blamed for everything, but the real enemy is insulin resistance, driven by sugar and carbs. The food industry has enormous sway, and everything has been corrupted. The brain is 40% cholesterol. Why do you think there is an explosion in mental health issues. Alzheimers and parkinsons are dramatically increasing, and everyone is put on statin meds to cut cholesterol. The results are obvious. I no longer fear alzheimers or parkinsons. I dont fear cancer. Im med free and my physical and mental health is nothing short of magical. Im never hungry, never tired. I had 50yrs of ibs, gastric reflux, abdominal pain and bloating. It all disappeared in week 2 of my diet. Gone. I have had zero fibre in 11mths. My gut health has become completely normalised and background. Fatty beef, bacon, eggs. My transformation has been somewhat startling to me. Its real, and it works for everyone. Every chronic illness I had from arthritis to cardiovascular disease and t2 diabetes has been reversed. I dropped 75lbs effortlessly. My testosterone and manliness are strikingly obvious. I dont know what to say, except that carnivore is very real. Many women have trouble with this diet as they are traditionally less likely to find a big fatty steak desirable. But, many women, including my wife, have received stunning results. Good luck.
@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hi. When talking diet, contrary to popular opinion, cholesterol levels are not particularly important. My cholesterol levels went high initially and then stabilised after a while. Im not at all concerned. Cholesterol has been demonised unjustly, it is not the cause of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance is, caused by sugar and carbs. The best indicator of cardiovascular disease is the total calcium score. Mine returned recently at zero, none detected. Unprecedented. Most carnivores return similiar scores. Ive kicked all my meds. Statin meds are awful and pointless. The combination of our 'destroy cholesterol at all costs ' approach and Statin meds is likely the cause of the explosion of mental health issues. I no longer expect to get, or fear, alzheimers or parkinsons. The brain is over 40% cholesterol, and is the body's prime user of it. Starving the brain of cholesterol has obvious effects. On Carnivore I lost 75lbs effortlessly. I cured t2 diabetes in week 3. My inflammation markers are incredibly low. I sleep like a baby. I dont snore. I never get hungry, i never get tired. My mental health is fabulous. Brain fog, depression, anxiety; all just vanish. Jump in, my transformation has been somewhat startling for me. I am constantly surprised as to how good i feel at 63. Im back in the workplace now shaming guys half my age. I go orienteering with my dogs, as an act of pleasure. My testosterone is through the roof. I have regained my life and my power.
Carnivore is an excellent elimination diet.
I had chronic shoulder pain then knee pain. Both have cleared with eating more protein and lifting heavy. Heavy weights and stretching with muscle contraction and weights. Hitting the muscle groups 2-3 times a week. I eat according to macros, with carbs, protein and fat. I walk 8-10K steps . Sleep 7-8 hrs a night. Sweat, dry brush and castor to detox.

I'm 30 and was diagnosed with arthritis last year. I work out daily and do 45min walks and weight training (have for over 10 years). Unfortunately my joint pain still really ebbs and flows but can be so painful so I'll need to try a low carb diet. It'll be tough because I love to cook and will need to modify my meals greatly but I'll definitely give it a try because I don't want to get on pills.
Lol I’ve had so many injuries, but enjoy life and have a positive attitude towards your life!! I read all the comments and yes, pain is terrible and can cause great pain- I have it every day. Just change Ing diets is not a guarantee!!
Yes!!! I was diagnosed with fibroyalgia joint pain, I was obese. I lost weight start lifting taking vitamin d. Pain gone!
Thx so much for keeping us updated! So much value and knowledge in your videos ❤👏🏾
This explains a lot. I have been told for years that I have osteoarthritis but my recent blood work showed off the chart systemic inflammation. I'll do more reading on this possibility.
I had trigger finger 6 years ago. It was awful and then I got RA a few years later. Which is in remission for almost a year on Carnivore. I had no idea about the Trigger Finger. Very interesting to learn more about the joints. Thank you : )
How long did it take to go into remission?
@@elskekoppert8925 Just under 3 months.
Totally agree with this. In addition, imbalances in skeletal structure cause problems. My frozen hip flexors contributed to the degeneration of the off side knee cartilage. I remediated the flexors and the knee healed.
How did you fix the hip flexor? When I walk mine on the right side freezes up and no one will listen to me. I don't know what exercises to do.
@@sherryanderson1770 Sitting disease includes hip and low back muscles. I do side scissors with a resistance band. Another is to put one foot on a raiser (8" - 12"." Supporting your weight on that foot lower yourself down onto the heel of the other foot but just tap then lift your weight back up. Remember to lift your hip up level each time. Another is to put your back on a bench with feet on the ground. Put a weight across the hips. Raise and lower the hips squeezing the gluts on the lift.
Great video!! I went on
Low carb/ keto and go rid of all joint pain in my hips and headaches!!! I only get headaches now if I drink or eat carbs. Hips are perfect! I do take collagen and glucosamine by tablet which I think helps! I notice if I stop eating eggs my hair growth slows down (don’t know why!) I also take micronutrients, copper, boron, etc and minerals, multivitamins etc, omega 3!!! ❤
Eggs have biotin in them or atleast the yolk does, this helps your hair grow, especially if you sepertate or don't eat the white as that blocks the biotin
Good advice. I've come to these same conclusions over the years and the improvements in my joint pain and inflammation have been life changing; especially by restricting feeding window, removing gluten and doing a few longer 48-72 hour fasts.
Merhabalar. Dizinizde ağrı varmıydı
After accepting what I was taught re “wear and tear,” I began noticing that my patients with OA weren’t usually the ones “wearing out” their joints. Now, if orthopedic strategies are not effective and reversing signs & symptoms, I counsel on metabolic health strategies.
Good for you on accepting learning and counseling others.
I am 69 forever I am on the carnivore diet because I was getting kidney stones. Horrible, so On the 1st of this year I gave up all carbs. No sugar, no pasta etc. extra...WOW do I feel good! I'm down 35 lbs.
I'm interested in trying this, and I HAVE had kidney stones in the past (calcium oxalate), and I'm concerned that I might develop Uric acid stones if I try this. How do you avoid that?
Foods to avoid...
Gluten
Sugar
Seed oils
Fruits
What will help....
Carnivore
Keto

Why avoid fruit? GMO? What about home grown?
@@CheezNrice4u fructose
Right on!!
Truth!! I’ve been keto for six years and I’ve had zero body pain since about three months into keto. Amazing.
You are very articulate while speaking. Thank you.
56 years old, active with resistance 10:41 tracing my entire adult life, recently I had a meniscus tear and it could become inflamed from certain activities to the point my whole leg from hip to ankle would throb with searing pain. This inflammation also caused my BP to spike. I dropped carbs and the first day pain dropped from a 10 down to a 3, second day pain was around 1 to 0, stayed that way for a week. Ate a small amount of carbs after a week at one meal and knee pain was back in 30 min after that meal, at maybe a 4. No more carbs since and pain stays around zero, except sometimes after walking 6-8k steps it will return to a 1 or 2 briefly. Not sure what’s going on but carbs set off an inflammation cascade and it’s repeatable. Also BP is normal now 115/72 average morning and night.
Excellent video brother. I can't even function anymore. The pain is horrible.
2 months of 90% carnivore really helped my chronic back pain. I still use kratom daily but am able to back off the pain meds. Most of the really sharp pain is gone.
kratom. havent heard anyone talk about that in years. @@blackhillsed4936
Amazing video. Thank you for the information. I am only 25% into this video and am shocked at the information 😳 OA and the connection with Metobolic Health. I suffer from OA, RA, chronic inflammation, joint pain, herniated and degenerative disc disease, etc.....
I had a very good feeling that all my health issues were related in a way this.
Great video and info. Can not wait to watch the entire video...
I get severe joint pain from mostly sugar aka fructose. I do drink once a week so take that as you will. Anyway I went vegan last year and became a cripple at 53yrs old. I kept at it but my joints suddenly got so bad I was bed ridden. I thought I was sugar free but after looking at my diet I found up to 100gms to 150gms of sugar aka half fructose.I have to keep repeating this as some health channels, more specifically Delaur has repeatedly shown videos titled sugar and its detriments but shows bread, rice and pasta.
Anyway so I noticed the amount of sugar and did a test for a month where all I ate was non sugar aka pure glucose foods such as rice and pasta and oats. I found out that my inflammation is the worst from sugar, MUCH less reduced inflammation when on starch and little inflammation when doing carnivore. I am so sensitive to sugar that I went and purchased a canned soup and ate it one night and woke up in pain. I then tested and tested with zero sugar foods and lo and behold at least for me the fructose is the culprit. Its everywhere from bread to chips to even hot sauce.
Carbohydrates are sugar. Just not as refined
I’m 9 weeks into high fat carnivore, Im still not sleeping well and I’m in the peak of my shoulder bursitis flare. I sure hope this lifestyle will heal me soon. I am losing fat, visceral fat. I plan to stay the course, I read so many amazing testimonies in the comments. Thank you for the good information in this video.
Yes what works for many, may not work for everyone!! Complete blood work, hormone replacement, etc to find the weak link!!
My approach to heal my joints is to use them (without more damage) in order to generate signals for healing, combined with fasting and refeeding cycles (rocking the autophagy, stem cell activation song ;^). Good luck to us all.
I did keto and lost weight and all the swelling in my knees, hands and ankles a few years ago. I have an allergy to eggs, nuts, almonds are the highest nut reaction on allergy blood test, and shellfish. So it was an extremely limited diet. Then I started having gut issues, almost passed out from pain and ended up in hospital after bleeding from bowels for several days. Had scarring showing on colonoscopy. So I'd love to try again, but scared of ending up having the same problem. I consume fiber powder, olive oil, dates, plus extra senna when needed now just to keep regular. I don't eat wheat as also have thyroid issues and gluten is a no no for thyroid but eat other grains to keep my system regular. I've incorporated collagen powder and now starting gelatin in my 1 coffee every morning. Walking great with some knee pain but much less. Also strength training with weights at home has helped immensely with general energy and health. Any ideas of how to do keto or carnivore successfully without constipation?
BORON DEFICIENCY is also another cause of arthritis. It helps with the metabolic absorption of vitD and also bone health. It lowers estrogen levels and raises testosterone levels too! An amazing mineral that is missing from our modern day crops/food. I would love for you to do a video on this VITAL TRACE MINERAL.
Yes, I started taking it and my strength came back.
Where can you get it and do you know if their is a test to get checked for it many thanks will try to ask about it
Boron also spares D and magnesium
@@garnerblair5179 good to know. By spares, you mean eliminates?
@@venessavuia allows higher levels through less loss
great advice and research, I will not eat a carnivore diet, just can't so not sure what else to do, will definitely ditch the bread, gluten though, and all refined sugar
No need to listen, here is the breakdown.,
1. **Metabolic Origins of Osteoarthritis (0:20)**: It's recognized that osteoarthritis is not just a mechanical degeneration of joints but also has metabolic factors. Metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions like obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, is linked to increased systemic inflammation that can exacerbate osteoarthritis.
2. **Low Carb Diet and Exercise (0:30)**: Diet and exercise are essential in managing osteoarthritis. A low carbohydrate diet can help reduce inflammation, and regular physical activity is known to improve joint function and reduce pain. Both are standard recommendations for managing arthritis symptoms.
3. **Inflammation and Body Weight (3:50)**: There is a well-established link between obesity and osteoarthritis. Adipose (fat) tissue releases inflammatory cytokines that can contribute to joint degradation.
4. **Leptin and Inflammation (5:00)**: Leptin, primarily produced by fat cells, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. High levels of leptin are associated with inflammation and may contribute to the degenerative process in joint tissues.
5. **Glucose, Insulin, and Leptin Levels (7:05)**: Insulin resistance, a common feature of metabolic syndrome, is related to increased leptin levels and can contribute to the systemic inflammatory state affecting the joints.
6. **Compressing Feeding Window (8:45)**: This likely refers to intermittent fasting, which can reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health, potentially benefiting those with osteoarthritis.
Overall, the points made in your video snapshot are consistent with emerging understandings of osteoarthritis as a disease influenced by metabolic factors and lifestyle choices. Regular exercise, weight management, and dietary adjustments are part of comprehensive management strategies for osteoarthritis.
I suffered sciatica pain from 16 to 43 and a variety of joint pain, but just assumed that it would be present for the rest of my life or until I had back surgery.
That all changed after I began the carnivore diet and committed to gradually increasing my range of motion through stretching and deep squats.
I am confident that the day will come when we look back and realize that so many of our ailments and chronic issues were really just metabolic in nature and could be fixed through a proper human diet and movement. I’m guessing that won’t happen until corporations figure out a way to profit off of that solution as well as they currently do with pharmaceuticals.
Yes Metabolic, fix thyroid. Old doctors knew this connection. Optimal thyroid so that , under tongue, waking temperatures are between 97.7%F - 98.6F ( 36.6C-37.0C)
Just because your on thyroid does not mean your getting enough.
Fix thyroid, when dealing with any health issues, it is the foundation of energy delivery in the body. It requires energy to do the repairs!
Good luck
I took T3 for a yr, it did nothing
Fixing thyroid physiology is about impossible with endos
Theyre very stupid
Makes sense
Yes I understand. Because I have it. I have flare ups. Suddenly one day I have zero pain but the very next day I will have mild joint pain 😮 even I follow proper diet with no sugar , no gluten and very low carbs.

Very interesting facts and happy to know the tides are changing on how we view inflammation and joint pain. Get strong folks.
I had random joint pain, especially in my knees. I went carnivore and all my joint pain is gone. Absolutely a metabolic issue.
I dropped seed oils and the majority of my arthritis went away. That and the Nightshade veggies like potatoes.
@@RandyM403 thanks for the information. 🙌🏻
Arthritis gone, foot pain gone, hemeroids gone. Gas gone, headaches gone, gaut gone, back pain gone, dizzy spells and chest pain gone. Carnivore
How did you do with cholesterol? I'm small (100 lbs.) I eat clean and my blood work has always been good, but now, all of a sudden, my cholesterol is going up. Do you think it might help? I also have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
Yep. Cut seed oils, wheat, and processed sugar and 80-90% of my knee pain & carpal tunnel pain disappeared.
Started carnivore 3 months ago, first month, no more joint pain.
proper human diet
I know when I am eating wheat flour- my hands and hips begin to hurt, and I SWELL. The less carbs, the bwtter.

Lovely hearing of Mike hiking with his daughter. Wonderful experiences for girls & any child to have, outdoors, sun, wind, the natural world, & excercise.👌🌄🧡
Once again. Right on time for info I need . and affirming my health decisions. I'm so happy I found you a few years back.
Hmmm 🤔 I wonder if there is a correlation with women who experience more joint pain in perimenopause…as hormones undergo such a change. I can see how this might be a factor in contributing to joint pain if the leptin hormone is also a contributor during this phase in a women’s health.
💯I CANNOT STRESS enough that I was in (unbeknownst to me) perimenopause & living in joint pain. I was still managing to workout physically fit/metabolically healthy eater but when I went to get up from sitting I could barely walk my feet hurt so bad, my neck with arthritis was EXTREMELY painful for years. I lived through a lot of varying types pain for a few years until I could no longer sleep without waking up soaking wet a few times a night & found out my estrogen was bottomed out & got on HRT. My life COMPLETELY changed. I could literally run again. My quality of life has done a 180 in so many vital ways. Hormones are VITAL to this picture & the whole picture.
Perimenopause can definitely be a cause.
When I was in PT skool over 30 years ago, that's what I was taught: "All wear and tear"... which doesn't make sense darn it! Definitely about metabolic dysfunction. What happens is that the degeneration begins from metabolic dysfunction and then the wear- tear kicks in and on top of that, most ppl don't know that they can change diet/ life style so the continue to do whatever began the process in the first place.. so of course it gets worse over time.
For me too much coffee for long time. I would pound 4 cups of coffee in am then go running or hit the gym. My knees were killing me. Also all over my body mostly knees though. Been doing ketovore for years with cheat days here and there. Even got mri on my knees. I check my glucose all the time all good.Last resort quit coffee and joint pain went away. I think I developed cortisol resistance. Body wasn’t responding to cortisol. Like insulin resistance. For real couldn’t believe it. I’m 58 in good shape.
FBG should be 80, maybe 90
What was urs?
And ur HOMA-IR?
How much did ur BG rise after meals? Should move only maybe 10-20points.
Coffee is acidic. It has to do with acidic foods as well
anti inflammatory means no coffee for sure!
Am on holiday and I sleep after meals. I have joint pain if I stop working out so I see you explain alot. Thank you.

Question:
Mike,
I'm 59. I've always eaten a few carbs (complex) and little sugars and have never been overweight.
For the past 1.5 years I've increased my health routine:
- Fasting; having only an early dinner with mostly meats and veggies (then a couple of dark chocolate squares as dessert)
- Gym, 4 times a week with warm-up elliptical machine, HIIT, weights.
- 5 km of fast walking almost every day
- Sleep 9 hours
My blood work has been great.
Now, both my knees suddenly have low cartilage levels, showing on MRIs. The doctor prescribed hyaluronic injections, since apparently, there is nothing else I can do.
What am I supposed to do? It's frustrating that this is happening at the peak of my "doing the right things".
I'm scared to continue walking and exercising since the problems started because of that?

What advice can you suggest to a woman who is 77 yrs young with hip issues. Have been an active person most of my life, and was told i had arthritis 7 yrs ago. Used to ski, hike, walk and did gymnastics/cheerleading when young that I blame on my hip joint pain. BUT....this new way of thinking sounds good. Can I cure my hip issues by dietary means so that I do not need hip surgery?
I ate carnivore for 7 months. The stiffness in my hands got a bit better. The pain became ... worse . I'm jealous of all the people who had good results in such a short time. I didn't. It definately doesn't work for everyone. The last part of carnivore I did lion diet, drinking only water . Couldn't continue with it anymore. Tired of no result and tired of eating beef. Started to have problem with gallbladder too.
Have you heard of the book The Glucose Revolution? It’s by a French biochemist. I forgot her name. It’s about how to manage your glucose levels and how they affect the body with inflammation etc. I’m the same as you with carnivore. I also get kidney pain and feel very unwell with liver and gallbladder pain. I do have fatty liver though from a high carb lifestyle previously. I’m trying to do the glucose revolution method with my food now. Low starch high fibre veggies to start my meal, protein second and high starch if needed at the end. It’s supposed to blunt the glucose spike and reduce inflammation and glycation.
Some meat (e.g. beef,processed meats) cause inflammation in the body. Also, beef is considered a carcinogen.
I'm really interested in figuring out why this is happening to some.
Starting to make some connections here. Joint pain is related to inflammation, as seems to be every disease. And grounding outside can greatly reduce inflammation. And being that inflammation seems to be the root cause of just about every health issue, grounding can help with just about anything. I've experienced some benefits, including less abdominal pain/discomfort when I go barefoot outside, but I hope to increase the amount of time spent outside as time goes on and thus see even more benefits.
I have always believed that the blood being slightly alkaline is so important that if we have overly acidic blood, then the body, with its wisdom, pulls minerals from the bone causing sharp arthritic spurs.
How do you achieve that, please?
Yes I’m low carb with osteoarthritis in my right hip exercise improves it greatly. Only aches in the morning. May try carnivore but it’s a boring diet to see if it removes the aches I have in the morning

How could Osteoarthritis be due to wear and tear when it usually affects the most inactive people?
Not wear and tear, it’s the softening and loss of integrity of the tissue. Repair thyroid, energy supplied to tissue, will make it healthy again.
That is absolutely not true! Starting from myself and people I know we are all fit and very slim eat healthy and do all sorts of exercise and yet we have osteoarthritis. I wish people would stop talking like in this video about being overweight and having arthritis or osteoarthritis and completely forgetting heaps of us do not fit that old cliche profile!! Very disappointed!!😢
Great great information thank you very much

So that would mean that carnivore is not for everyone and that not eating animal or by products is fine for others and still achieves the joint pain dilemma.

I never got an answer on how to solve my insomnia problems on carnivore. My cortisol goes up, my HRV lowers (because of severe sleep deprivation).... even after 6 weeks of strict adherence. And yes of course I take my electrolytes and minerals like Magnesium. I also took tryptophan and 5HTP to improve serotonin, but to no avail. Eating 100 grams of carbs solves the problem.
That's still fairly low carb, and if it works for you then hallelujah 🙌
6 weeks isn't actually a long time to really become Fat Adapted ,whereby, we become efficient at using Fats for fuel .Depending on the person , it may take 6 months to develop an efficient ketogenesis . It can depend on our metabolic health ,or lack of it ,before starting keto.

This is true. Arthritis will come to me based on what and how much I eat, I had my worst trigger finger attacks after consuming greek yogurt. I had painful flares in my finger joints after a a few weeks of consuming cheese. I also had flares after consuming whey protein ( which is a processed food as far as I am concerned - anything that ground up into a powder that gets into your system very quickly).
Dairy protein is OUT for me as well.
The two, 10-15-minute walks after meals: How far apart in minutes should they be done?

In Ayurveda, it is believed that joint pain (like most pains) is a vata (wind) disease. Low Agni (digestive fire) causes incomplete digestion and amongst other things causes vata/wind/gas and this not only causes but also aggravates arthritis. Anybody can start fasting and experience relief. Do a 24-hour fast and see if the pain does not come down. It will.
The white cells reveal a lot about inflammation as well as the immune system. If neutrophils are consistently high there's inflammation in the body somewhere and it doesn't have to be an infection or cancer but the immune system is seeing something it doesn't like and could be arthritis.
Also eosinophilia

I am 5’5” and 106 pounds, quite thin with severe joint pain in computer mouse hand, stenosis and arthritis in every cervical joint, have had 2 hip replacements.. losing weight does little for hand, neck, arthritis pain, those joints are not weight bearing. Weight loss may help hips and knees. Certainly avoiding sugar and processed meats, alcohol and other junk foods will help improve circulation and metabolic health
Joint pain and my arthritis in my hands disappeared after I went to a carnivore lifestyle. My Sciatic nerve pain also disappeared. If I want to experience the joy of joint and Sciatic nerve pain again all I have to do is eat Asparagus or Brussell Sprouts and it will return for about a week.
Absolutely! Add to that: eggplant and oranges.
After going carnivore, my arthritis was eliminated in three weeks and as an added bonus I no longer have high blood pressure. Think about that: only three weeks for me! Doctor told me I was getting old and slow my routine and accept it: he was also a specialist joint replacement surgeon.
I was on Remicade infusions in my early 30s for years.. until it literally bankrupt me. I was not overweight at all. In fact, I was an athlete, very lean, a runner. Now I can’t afford to be on these infusions so I try my best to stay away from inflammatory foods. But it’s hard because I don’t know, if it’s hormonal changes or what’s going on some days I’m fine with eating raw almonds, but then days like today I’m very inflamed and I’m not sure if it was because I overdid it on the almonds last night perhaps some salsa I try not to do any nightshade vegetables but occasionally I have salsa
Its confusing, isnt it? You say its hard, and you try, but sometimes you know you eat something inflammatory, sometimes you overeat something that might be ok in smaller quantities, I'm guessing sometimes you hurt and have no idea why? Can you even imagine how it would be to NOT hurt, consistently? What would you be willing to do? I had very painful arthritis in my mid-twenties - doc said take aspirin till it didn't work, then I'd get cortisone shots, and btw I had to stop all this activity with horses (my main life's passion)! I'm now 78, still riding, still jogging (4 hilly mi 3x a week), even just started trimming my mare's hooves!! 💪 . I had a lot of "lessons" along the way, but I now say I'd be willing to "eat cardboard" for the rest of my life, if necessary, that no taste, no texture, no momentary mouth pleasure is worth losing a bit of my vitality. Dont get me wrong - I looove sweets, and baked potatoes with butter and sourcream, and hot garlic bread, and Mexican and ravioli!, but I only eat relaxed carnivore (allowing a few plant items like coffee, seasonings), even at church potlucks! May God bless you with a clear path to a pain-free life ❤️🙏❤️
@@judymiller5154 thank you so much for your inspiring message! When I had no choice but to come off of the ridiculously expensive Remicade infusions, my body had to go through a detox process. I noticed that those heavy duty chemotherapy drugs with my hormones, my digestion… Everything! I stopped getting a period in my early 30s for about six years.hen I was able to take some time off from working, And focus on my mental and physical health… running most days of the week, going to spin classes and doing Pilates, eating whole nutritious foods. Mostly just drinking water, green tea, coffee, and apple cider vinegar. And completely completely cutting gluten and nightshade vegetables…l my psoriatic arthritis went away. Eliminating stress was a huge factor. And making sure that I really made my lungs work to get rid of any toxins like the black mold that was in my apartment. So I would try and do training or like you said running up hills to increase my oxygen levels. I lived pain-free and free of psoriasis for a few years but now I’m back to being poor again since my rent has tripled and I kind of went through a trauma about six months ago and I noticed that the information came back tenfold. And foods that didn’t inflame me before like sweet potatoes And dark chocolate and red grapes have definitely contributed to weight gain and inflammation for some reason. So it’s about finding the right balance. But life will definitely be easier. I could just eliminate the stress and not have to worry so much.
Almonds are high oxalates too
Very painful when u dump them during periods of strict diet adherence
I’ve never noticed nightshades hurting but ofc no potatoes on keto even. Tomatoes n peppers tho I ate plenty, even some eggplant. On carni it’s just some rare tomatoes.
I would try strict carni for few mos then try adding back in a food at time to see.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah it’s too bad about the almonds. I eat about a pound of raw almonds a week. I just find that they are a good source of fuel and protein on the go.
But what do you mean by strict Carney? Only meet? Can you have a salad with that or asparagus? I don’t eat a whole lot of meat. I mostly fish and chicken and eggs.
Yes, SKIP the almonds, pricey, but try macadamias for snacking. Eat org/grass meat for protein
