I have a dear friend. She avoided ALL fats. Dry toast. Lots of grains and sugar. . Boneless skinless everything. Her mother did too and she died of Alzheimer’s. Now my dear friend is slipping fast with Alzheimer’s. I always want to say something when I see all around me doing the same thing but I gave up. They don’t want to hear it or change anything. I’m looked at like I have grown another head. I am extremely healthy as a 72 yo woman. But nobody my age and older suffering from the consequences of this human nutrition disaster ever asks how I have achieved this active unmedicated life. . My family genes are just as messed up as everyone else’s. It’s sad.
The only thing a person can do is become the healthiest, most energetic, shredded version of themselves, and if people wanna join, they can come along. Can't carry someone up Everest. People will choose disease and McDonalds over health and proper food.
It is indeed heartbreaking when you feel like you finally found the answer because it’s working for yourself and everyone around you is unhealthy but they think you’ve lost your mind when you try to tell them.
On daily hikes in the mountains during winter my large dog would invariably lead me to fresh animal kills. I realized that even in very harsh conditions a person who owned a dog would never starve, and would never even have to hunt or use tools aside from ordinary stones to crack open bones. I can imagine the mutually symbiotic canine-caveman relationship as a pivotal to our evolution.
When I went camping and was sitting in the absolute pitch black with a fire. I had a big realisation of why dogs are so important. I couldn’t see more than 3 metres.

Thank you for publishing this, Amber. Excellent presentation as always. Your sharp analytical skills are always impressive and you have a soothing voice for presentation as well. Blessings!
Another excellent and well informed presentation. I hope this scientific perspective is fully acknowledged and accepted by the mainstream in future. The evidence is compelling and I salute the courage of these individuals to stick their necks out in order to improve human health for all. I feel sorry for all those metabolically sick people whom are being given information that is effectively keeping them sick because of the misinterpretation of energy metabolism and diet. Unfortunately it’s a huge effort to change the current low fat message when it is etched so deeply into the current psyche.
This is such a plausible explanation for how we became human and fat eating was the driver and hence why many of us are healthier when we rely on fat rather than carbs. Bravo Amber, this is the most important idea I encountered in 2020, so much about our prehistory and the best diet we should eat all makes sense to me now.
I went keto in Feb 2019, moved more animal based in Jan 2020. My wife was trying also because her mental health. She was filled with anxiety and obsessive thinking. She'd been on some meds which she dosed herself with. Unfortunately on 23 Nov 2020 she succumbed to her illness and took her on life. I carry on as best I can. The shock and stress has given me many nights of broken sleep. No more then 3 hours without waking. I've gone from 187 to 174 in this 4 week as I'm not hungry. I know my wife would wish me to continue on with my weight loss plan and with my life as well. But this is so hard. Not knowing if I will be able to stay in the house as she was the money earner between us. Another stress she didn't need. Sorry. Luckily I was fat adapted and I'm trying to stay strong to resist the carbs and junk. I know it will only make things worse if I were to eat them.
Your story is very sad and I‘m sorry for your loss. Depression and suicidal thoughts are so widespread now. It is always the hardest for those left behind. I hope you have friends and family to support you, in this difficult time. Take it one day at a time.
Know you are much stronger than you might think you are. The best way to honor your wife would be to stay strong and continue on your journey to better health. Things may seem hard now. Always look towards the light is what my granny use to always say to me when life seemed hard. I'm sure there are loads of people who will support you on your journey. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You would be surprised at how much others want to be of help and be of service.
Good to hear from you Amber. Fat is fuel and building blocks for a healthy nervous system. If you feed the nervous system the whole body thrives. By the way Stephensson would love your term lipivore. My spellchecker tried to substitute Lipitor for lipivore! So much for AI.
So does this mean eggs are like a perfect food ? We'd have to eat a lot of them since there are only 74 calories in 1 large Egg. Calorie breakdown: 63% fat, 2% carbs, 35% protein.

Amber, you are a life saver! I heard so many people saying I should cut fat further and I was cold all the time and tired. I took your advice and ADDED tons of fat and I feel great. I even had a problem, dry cracked skin on my hands and feet, which got better eating carnivore 2 years ago. But 3 days of eating fat and my skin peeled a bit then it was 90% gone. My skin feels super soft now and isn't painful. I can't believe how quick the change was! Oh, I remember people saying it seems to be females especially over 50 that do better with high fat. Well, I'm a fairly healthy male 39 years old so it worked for me too!! Thank you!
I have only just found this video. Love that existing ideas are being challenged with research and logic. In addition, it takes courage to put it out there. Well done Amber!!
Lots of good information in this talk! Glad that near the end she also shows that protein does NOT need to be restricted to get the benefits of keto. Fat is essential as is protein.
Size of it doesnt matter as much as people think, its processing power/ability does and thats hard to really grasp ex, elephant brain is 3x bigger then us, for all i know they might have gotten smaller and better due to vegetation on top of meat/fat
Often people go vegan cause they wanna lose weight, that the brain also loses weight is one of the side effects (do they care? don´t know but it seems many of them are quite "irrational" about this cult. and they do not notice it themselves)
I'm no vegan, but I've heard it suggested that when meso-paleo humans commenced agriculture, including animal husbandry, we didn't have to be as smart to survive. And given the huge energy requirements of the brain Amber refers to here, it was evolutionarily allowed to shrink (i.e. humans with smaller brains reproduced more).
@@AngelTyraelGM humans have numerous genes that correlate brain size with intellect. We've lost a few brain structures that made us strictly better at doing things like the optical bun.
Wow - to figure out and resolve your own psych issues, with no meds, now THAT is impressive. And what an impressive, original, and truly bold presentation, so contrary to the present high-carb dogma, yet making so much sense rationally. Low-fat (high-carb) got me heart disease - fatty deposits in the sugar-damaged arterial walls. Yet, analysis like that presented here by Ms. O'Hearn is getting me comfy with the notion of ingesting more saturated fats.
Everyone who desires a rational, science based perspective on what a true "ancestral diet" is for our species, should watch this video enough times so they understand it.
Hi all, I been following this channel and others for over a year now. Keep trying keto/carnivore but the most I lasted was 2 months, I have a carb addiction which I am struggling to kick, but will keep on trying and hopefully get it right. My concern is why can't this info get to those who count (government etc) and convince them that a mainly plant based diet is the best for us. When it obviously is not. This channel and others are great but I notice they largely congratulate each other on the good work they do but I never see this info in mainstream documantaries etc. This and regenerative farming seem to answer all the questions about health, animal welfare, and even saving the planet. Maybe we need some celebrities of for instance David Attenborough to step up and help get this message out.
Do you have any health conditions that you want to treat? Why try a keto/carnivore? What means a carb addiction here? Chocolate, rice, bread, pasta, pastries? Potatoes? I know the importance of animal foods and I'm all for it, but observing food and diet movements and docs channels, people perform differently, some do better on little more carbs, others in more fat. I don't believe the natural state of all people is to be in ketosis all the time. If you are healthly eating whole foods and don't have adverse effects in doing some healthy carbs, is there any problem? I figure that sometimes we get stuck in ideological views and dissmiss our body cues...
Ketones is like E85 or race fuel for the brain. It burns a lot cleaner and supercharges your brain. Its not an alternative fuel source to stave off starvation, we were designed to thrive on it. And may be solely responsible for our evolution.
In chronic kidney disease, it is recommended to decrease protein intake due to dammaged ability to clear it. But it seems to me that the lipivore diet may be a way to do carnivore without overburdening the kidneys too dramatically…(?) Do you know if any nephrologists are trying a low protein high fat carnivore diet with their chronic kidney disease patients? And if there is any data in the literature? Would you consider an interview on the subject? Thank you for your ever interesting lectures and insights!!
I am trying that with my husband. Eggs and lots of butter daily. Eggs are a good protein for people with kidney problems because it is it is low in phosphorus. He was having interstitial edema people with lymphedema are deficient in arginine and have a bad ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Was able to turn that around with diet and supplementing arginine.
It science has a serious built in bias in that it assumes that the baseline fit all nutritional measurements and concepts is a high carb diet. We behave this even though we know high carb diets are evolutionary recent. Virtually all claims about nutrition, including the limitations and dangers of fat and protein, are made relative to the assumed foundation of the diet being carbohydrates.
Percussion tools give off flakes which then become a means for flaying meat and spear building! Crazy jump but a simple explanation for our evolution...
Can anybody recommend good books to learn more about hominid evolution as it relates to diet and hunting? I'm interested in learning about how scientists discover what our ancestors ate through bone nitrogen and carbon isotope testing, bone and stone artifacts, etc. I think the world needs to learn more about this.
The tubers of Cyperus esculentus, or tiger nuts, seem fairly safe raw. I think there’s some hominin that supposedly lived off them. Humans, not so much. Nowadays most people who drink horchata make it from rice instead... Interesting to note that tiger nuts, though tubers, are quite high in fat.
Even where cooking was available there was for the most part on pots to boil tuber sufficiently, that is not until the Neolithic. So for most of Europe that was only 6 thousand years ago.
When i first started keto i would easily have 1.5-2mmol/l ketone levels in the blood but now i struggle to get over 0.5mmol/l. Still feel fine still losing weight i'm wondering if it's just an efficiency thing? Body is using the ketones more efficiently so there is either less being produced or less circulating in the blood?
@14'30 : "An unreasonably huge amount of meat" - Kimberly Foecke. The Kimberly Foecke's hypothesis is that this unreasonably huge is not... reasonable. Neanderthals "couldn't" eat that much meat : they should have also eaten "healthy" vegetables. And to get such high levels of N15 and C13 in their bones/teeth with a "balanced diet" they had to eat rotten meat (there are a bit more of these isotopes in rotten meat). With rotten meat + starchy vegetables they would have been able to get the same levels of isotopes as with only meat. What a strange hypothesis! She is so sure it's impossible for us to eat only meat that she prefers to make "us" eat rotten meat. Honestly I prefer one hundred times to eat only meat (with animal fat and organ meat) rather than rotten meat with starchy vegetables... I bet it was the same for Neanderthals.
Fascinating. So, humans began their unique evolution as scavengers. What I find ironic is that while the big cats ate the large muscle tissue, humans evolved from eating the higher quality Inter-skeletal protein that was harder to get to. In modern society, that is the part of the animal we usually throw away. We eat steak rather than marrow, brain, connective tissue. The emblematic protein of the modern diet, the boneless, skinless chicken breast is exactly the wrong thing to eat.
Seems a bit contradictory if eating meat offers protein and energy but did I hear you say that energy from protein can be problematic...too much protein with fat. The body can only use approx 35 grams at a setting/eating and some say the spillover is very unhealthy. I am exploring eating more healthy and am looking at Keto but as a slender person....still learning. Nutrition is a complex field.
There's nothing unhealthy about protein. It does not damage the kidneys and cannot be stored as fat. It can also only be converted to glucose in certain circumstances ie when your body is low on glucose and would have made it in some other way. The 'limit' on protein is also nonsense. The more protein you eat the better because it's simply impossible for your body to use it all so if you eat 35 grams most likely you absorb 20 or less. So if your body would have used 25, 30 or even 50 (yes it can be more, especially if you eat fewer meals) then you won't get it. The older you are the harder it is to digest protein so you need even more to make up for it.
@@LTPottenger Nah, I did strict high protein carnivore and gained weight. I don’t think everyone reacts to protein in exactly the same way. Plus, I was way more hungry on higher protein than I am on higher fat.
The picture of the baby is adorable. Fat babies are a sign of health providing the fat is built from breast milk only. Babies build lots of fat cells which protect them as a grown up from insulin resistance. Europeans knew that way back, but American always wanted lean babies.
I have a dear friend. She avoided ALL fats. Dry toast. Lots of grains and sugar. . Boneless skinless everything. Her mother did too and she died of Alzheimer’s.

The body can only use approx 35 grams at a setting/eating and some say the spillover is very unhealthy. I am exploring eating more healthy and am looking at Keto but as a slender person....still learning. Nutrition is a complex field.
There's nothing unhealthy about protein. It does not damage the kidneys and cannot be stored as fat. It can also only be converted to glucose in certain circumstances ie when your body is low on glucose and would have made it in some other way. The 'limit' on protein is also nonsense. The more protein you eat the better because it's simply impossible for your body to use it all so if you eat 35 grams most likely you absorb 20 or less. So if your body would have used 25, 30 or even 50 (yes it can be more, especially if you eat fewer meals) then you won't get it. The older you are the harder it is to digest protein so you need even more to make up for it.
@@LTPottenger Nah, I did strict high protein carnivore and gained weight. I don’t think everyone reacts to protein in exactly the same way. Plus, I was way more hungry on higher protein than I am on higher fat.
I might add that I do do it as best I can getting fat from meat, cream,butter olives etc
The picture of the baby is adorable. Fat babies are a sign of health providing the fat is built from breast milk only. Babies build lots of fat cells which protect them as a grown up from insulin resistance. Europeans knew that way back, but American always wanted lean babies.
Thank You so much Amber
I love the way you think but where are the fossils that prove these transitions even happened in the first place?
