I still cannot get over the fact of, eating a typical diet of mt dew, hostess, mcdonnalds and tacobell is totally fine, but "i eat only meat" is controversy
LOL no kidding. people are so unbelievably.. i don’t even know. i want to say they’re stupid? but maybe just so heavily uninformed and unaware. non the less it’s pretty crazy.
its against the globalistic agendas ffs... wake up, theres a reason its a controversy... people like bill gates are buying all the agricultural land arround the world so he make us eat lab grown meat and insects. i mean have you guys been sleeping? look at what the elite are doing and you have your answers
@@alistergray7035here is the reality. The people you are referring to are stupid. My father also has difficulty saying this. Always looking for an excuse for these people. They're stupid.
When you are seeking answers and quoted the definition of a hypochondriac by someone you waited months to see, it's crushing! I was damaged by Cipro in the early 90s. I was on it for 10 years, every problem I was having, by the time I figured things out, I kept being told "it's not the Cipro". Things have changed a bit now, black box warnings, etc. But it is an awful place to be when you can't get help and you are ridiculed for being sick. :(
I was a vegetarian for 30 years, developed arthritis in my hips, could hardly walk, when I heard about the carnivore results I immediately started on beef...pain went from a 9 to a two right now...been doing it for two months...
Im 65 yrs old. Pretty healthy but have aches and pains and arthritis. Found out about this diet and tried it and I'm on day 26 and my arthriitis left my hands and shoulders within 4 day.. I've lost 17 lbs and feel better than I've ever felt. I've been strictly Beef, Chicken Thighs, Fatty Pork Chops, sausage, salami, and water. I have cheated with my instant coffee and cream. Give yourself a 31 day challenge and it could change your life. I only knew about this from the Joe Rogan show with Dr. Sean Baker.
I’m so glad you posted on here!!! You give great information!! Sometimes when people post they leave out so much & they leave me with more questions!! Your post was thorough! Thank you!!! I’m only 4 days in on carnivore!! I appreciate you!!
First, CONGRATS on this. But you aren't cheating on your coffee routine.... you can have coffee and CREAM..... not those nasty creamers with gunk in it tho. Heavy whipping cream is one of my go to items. I do add a couple drops of Stevia for a treat but that doesn't really change anything at all. I follow Dr Ken Berry & Dr Chaffe when I have questions etc. Good luck !
I think it’s crazy that doctors immediately hook you up to medications rather than taking the time to talk to you about your diet and analyze what you’re consuming. I had crazy facial eczema and when I asked the dermatologist if my diet may possibly play a role, he totally disregarded me and prescribed me a stronger prescription of hydrocortisone cream. I decided to stop using that shit, cut off dairy and most carbs, and I haven’t had a flare up in a long long time!
Doctors are taught to not trust in the patients ability to change their lifestyle. They are taught to assume the patients lifestyle will remain the same, and treat accordingly. Not an excuse for them, but something people should know when they are visiting their doctor
I worked in the medical field for 10+ years, around dozens of practicing physicians, and I only ever came across 1 physician who ever counseled patients on the side affects of taking long term medications and trying elim diets to identify potential dietary triggers. He went to the same type of medical school/residency as all others, didn’t take additional nutrition courses, he just did the research himself because he had family members who were sick. If you are reading this and you have healed yourself via dietary changes, ring your doc who failed you so they can see this works. In my years working in healthcare, I can only recall a few patients who ever notified them of diet changes working and it was such a small amount that the docs assumed it was a one off. Anyways that’s my two cents on what I’ve seen. Hopefully we’ll start to see big changes in western medicine in the coming decade
In 2019 I left my home state of California to support my ex-girlfriend with medical school in Florida. As the year went by, I could see how they were training her mind to solely rely on what medications could do for healing the body and completely disregarding all eastern medicines and dietary shifting such as elimination diets. It is pure insanity that at the core of what makes us natural and human, so many of us have it all backwards. It's not rocket science. People forget that though evolved, we're still only animals ourselves. Our bodies crave REAL food, period. Living on medications, sugar and processed foods is no way to live. Man made illnesses plague our society and it's not because of the natural food that's available to us in the world.
Agree! But whats the point to calling the doctor? They're not free. Their office will charge a consultation fee to see them, just for the doctor to dismiss you! They will say some classic medical terminology crap such as "correlation is not causation" or just unknown reason for why you got better. You know how it is.
This is a great point, but doctors have something of a conflict of interest. They would be simultaneously trying to heal you instead of managing your symptoms, which would, after the healing, put them out of business. It is actually not in their interest to help you, at least not past a certain point...
Don't bother ringing your doctor most are to arrogant to admit they're wrong, they'll probably just give you a smug look and remind you that it was all in your head like they told you at your first appointment.
My friend starting having panic attacks for no reason and the naturopathic dr tested for allergies and when he completely cut out gluten his anxiety and panic attacks went away. After about four or five years he slipped back into eating what he wanted and it came back. So he went back to a gluten-free diet and has been great since. Very interesting.
And boy doesn’t this comment thread prove it. I came here for either critical or supporting commentary, and all I’ve seen so far is a bunch of testosterone charged dudebros haggling over her looks like that’s her only value. They might as well be discussing cuts of meat at a bazaar.
For those out there suffering with skin issues: acne, eczema, psoriasis, inflammation. Try cutting out gluten completely, and going low carb (Keto) or better yet NO carb (Carnivore) and watch your skin magically clear
@@soulsurfer639 I mean if you have gluten problem you'd shit your asshole out so it's not that. Or stomach problem is not the only problem or guaranteed problem?
I’ve had cystic acne for 10 years and I’m only 20, don’t only cut out gluten, soy, and dairy. CUT OUT SUGAR!! Look up hyperinsulinemia. The American diet is unnatural to the human body, please research in between the lines. Doctors will not tell you this. They will try to fix you with a pill
Seeing Mikhaila's story after I was diagnosed with various arthritis, sjogrens and dermatomyositis is the reason I started this way of eating. I started in Aug of 22. I have lost 40#s and my inflammation and pain are greatly decreased. I have bone deformity from the arthritis, or the fall I took 20 years ago, or a combination of both. The derma thing seems to be attacking the muscles I have had chronic issues with for many years. I still am not taking any pharmaceutical drugs except occasionally aleve. I encourage everyone I know with health issues to try this for 30 days. I know many won't, but pray they will. I share my story whenever I can, plant a seed and watch it grow!! ✌❤🤩
I also have arthritis and Sjögrens plus osteoporosis! I just finished day 2! And I have no gallbladder so I am using digestive enzymes and Ox Bile. So far I’m doing good!! Thank you for sharing!!
@@nealkelly9757 he brainwashes people into making them realise of their potential, helping them embrace their responsibilities and encouraging them to become functional, healthy and independent individuals. Wow, what bad person is Peter Jordanson. Lobster man bad.
Love the keto diet. Lost 60 lbs and anxiety disappeared, cognitive benefits. Started to workout bc I have an overload of energy now. Dropped 5 pants sizes. 2 years strong 💪
I did the same, but not strictly. I believe I need to go straight carnivore with Lamb, because I love it. My real issue is Cheese, I absolutely love it. Keto took 30 lbs right off me in 1month, then steady weight for several years. But I would like to lose a lot more.
@@bigdogtim7998 just keep avoiding carbs and only in take a small amount and you should keep losing weight! Also if you’re in the gym. I lost 50lbs on keto From 200 to 150💪🏾 and started weightlifting after

Sneaking suspicion that the methotrexate (chemo drug) lead to the need for her joint replacements. These drugs are known to not only prevent absorption of folic acid (hence the mouth sores, etc), they also leach calcium from the bones and can lead to loss of bone density (osteopenia/osteoporosis), which can also lead to osteoarthritis.
She described perfectly what it’s like to try and find food sensitivities and allergies in general. Your body never reacts exactly the same way to the same stimuli. One day it might be obvious that it’s an allergy. The next you wonder if you imagined the whole thing. Rinse and repeat.
I’ve watched this video so many times, hearing her personal experience lends support to me on my own journey with chronic health issues. Her research and knowledge helped me to look into my specific issues which are a bit different from hers but some things completely overlap to the point where I can relate to how she was feeling throughout the whole ordeal. It’s a scary and isolating thing when you realize there’s something super wrong with your body but doctors and other people just don’t have the information you need to find a solution.
@@elyasshussain5988 Ginger is a highly toxic root that has medicinal effects on the human body. It's not food and should never be consumed for long and never if you're not using it to treat a specific illness.
Ive been carnivore for almost a year now and its been one of the best things for my health.. i deal with chronic pain, juvenile rumetory arthritis, inflamation, fibromyalgia. Before switching to carnivore diet i was always inflamed sore in pain and low energy and depressed ..now im the healthiest ive ever been
It's fantastic and growing so much world wide... I'm from South Africa so the diet can't be bad... I've been on it since 2019 and I started it to help myself because my mom passed away from Alzheimer's which when I researched they said its like Diabetes of the brain... which lead me to stop sugar then started on Keto and soon after it was carnivore Keto... I've never been healthier and have introduced intermittent fasting as well... only eat one large meat 🍖 😋 meal at about 5pm every day... and find it works very well for me... lost 17kg in the first year and now I've balanced out and remain on the same weight and feel great 👍🏼👌🏼😌😎
Being a person born with Spina Bifida Diagnosed when I was 11 or 12 and spinal release surgery soon after this hits home and this is why im on the Carnivore Diet.. Feed Your Body what its asking for
Dr. Peterson is such a father figure for so many people, that its like she is "The Sister of the internet". And the Internet is the most creepy panty-sniffing brother anyone can have.
Just imagine being Jordan Peterson’s potential son in law, (rock up for the first date and The great man himself pulls you aside and gives you the 3rd degree on “How clean is your room”, “how many dragons have you slayed, when was the last and what did you make of its remains”, “what is your relationship with your own father like, have you rescued him from the belly of the whale”, “do you see yourself as the benevolent Father of the tyrannical farther” and finally “how do you feel about lobsters🦞”
I want to know why you call it a wacky diet? I’ve been on the carnivore diet for almost a year, first 3 month very strict, lost 40 pounds! Turn 70 in June wanted to get to my weight in my 20’s. Now I’m 80% carnivore, if it bleeds I can eat it (beef chicken pork venison all type of fish seafood clams mussels etc) plus dairy. Now I’ve added advocate and some berries in my yogurt in the morning. I drink wine and vodka the occasional beer. Great diet easy to shop, really easy. NOT WACKY!!
the problem with carnivore diet is the co2 emission it generates, the animal violence that comes with it (it could change with better and more organic farms) and the fact that it tooks like A LOT of water to make 1 kg of meat. The other problem is that all deseases like corona, pork fever, mad cow, bubonic plague, practicly all of these comes from eating animals. In my case i dont like meat too much, and i like to live off the grid and i dont see myself with animals around, i mean its like a lot of work. And iam not confortable with killing them. But thats my personal case. Maybe in the future they can cultivate meat, that could solve all problems.
@@juanraro5210 all agricultural CO2 emissions account for 2% of total CO2 emissions so your worries are unfounded. It’s just more gubment propaganda. Please do an ounce of research before you make ridiculous misinformation comments.
@@juanraro5210 compared to how many people eat meat around the world the co2 emission isnt really that bad compared to flight where its waaaaaay less people who fly
Joe makes a good comment about everyone being different. This is why I like the functional medicine approach with testing etc. Dr. Mark Hyman and his colleagues have been making great progress in these areas of health and nutrition. Mikhaila's sharing of her story has been super interesting and helpful as I know people with very similar issues although not as extreme! Thank God she found something that works, that must have been torture!
I cured my moderate depression with diet. Her story makes me so frustrated about the propaganda from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The message is: If it’s not lab test it can’t possibly work. But the only things being testing in labs are the ones companies can profit from.
Exactly, I have depression and ADHD and they send me to do a test to check which one of their medications will metabolize better in my liver. Why don't they check me to see what the hell I have. I have to literally fight with every doctor to convince them I have ADHD. I am also convinced that I am slightly autistic. My son is autistic and he is exactly how I was as a kid. There have been many studies linking ADHD and autism to truncated proteins. They obviously don't care about what we are suffering from. They just want to have a reason to push one of their drugs as being right for me. Forget about whether or not I even have the disease that they are treating me for!
@@michelleespino9814 hey Michelle, just wondering if you have made any changes in diet and have they had any effect on your son. I'm in the same boat with my son, he's adhd and after 11 years of observation and research I think he's on the spectrum. I want to make his life as good as possible but I refuse to helicopter or snowplow parent. If diets can help mitigate symptoms that would be easy and hugely helpful.
@@jamesrobinson4026 Hi! I am happy to help you with this... this is the concise version but let me know if you want more details. What I have learned over the last 15 years is that my depression was part emotional and part physical. The physical part is having a high toxic load in our bodies and the fact that almost all of us have worn away intestinal linings from toxins and medicines and other things (like I was subjected to black mold). Here’s some of what I did: 1. The first step is to figure out what NOT to eat. I cut out all artificial colors and flavors - really cut out processed/prepared food because those have a lot of additives. I also cut out gluten and I don’t eat a ton of sugar but was mindful of that too. 2. I started focusing on whole foods but no grains because they have anti nutrients that are designed by nature to puncture our gut lining unless they have been sprouted (which they never are and frankly I don’t have time to do that myself). I’m blood type O which is the carnivore/cavewoman type and I always knew paleo worked better for me, but that’s something you can figure out from trial and error or one of these great books: The Heart Doctors Cure (Al Sears), the Paleo Solution (Robb Wolf) and the Blood Type Diet (D’Adamo). I found the last one kind of high maintenance although a wellness practitioner I know said she sees that always proves out as a great way to customize one’s diet. 3. I cut out personal care items and cleaning products with toxic chemicals. You would be amazed at how many companies have breast cancer ribbons on their products when they knowingly use carcinogens in the same products. 4. A few years back I added in detox baths which were a game changer! Similar to a sauna the baths raise your body temp and you sweat out toxins. My friend jokes that it’s weird that I sit in the bath and sweat but for 15-20 min I sit in hot water (as hot as you can take without scalding yourself) with Epsom salts and a cup of ginger juice. I do it in the evening and after I get out I lie down and sweat for another hour or so until it stops and then I rinse off and go to bed. The next day I fell so much lighter abs brighter! One note: I invested in a while house water filter ($800 ish) because I wanted to soak in and drink water that isn’t toxic. We settled on Aquasana and it was an investment but worth it when you factor in that you use it for drinking, cooking etc. Sadly there are a lot of toxins in water. By the way, I did this a bit at a time otherwise it’s overwhelming. I suggest that every time you make one improvement feel good and once it’s in place then on to the next. I hope that’s useful. Good luck!
This is a very interesting topic. In my own experience I have environmental allergies that have been triggering food allergies. I notice when my allergies are flaring, my arthritis does too. I would be fascinated to learn more about the environmental connection.
I believe her. I have a friend with horrible neurological issues--felt like like her arms and legs were on fire, all day, every day. After several neurologist and a decade plus of pain, she talked to a naturopath person (I know, I know, "woo"), who suggested she try dropping foods from her diet. She got down to eating boiled chicken, rice, and tomatoes, as any and every other food gave her body hell. It didn't stop her problems, but it alleviated them a bit. For a few years. Then she started getting worse. Finally got her into an MRI machine to look at her torso (and not her head)... and there was this tiny duct in her pancreas (hepatic or bile duct, can't remember which) where about a half-inch was closing off. They put a tiny one-inch tube in that duct, and quite literally every fucking health issue evaporated. She has to have that little tube replaced every few years, as the body breaks it down, but one fucking spaghetti-sized duct caused basically her whole body to go nuts. If this girl has to eat meat, and only meat, I don't give a shit if no one else on the planet has her same issue--I believe her. Our bodies and digestive systems are so insanely complicated, it seems almost evil to insist we all have the same diets or issues. I'm glad she's got some relief, and I hope she gets to enjoy her life and her child. Poor kid sounds like she deserves it.
This is a sensible comment. Of course there are people out there suffering with issues that going on a strict elimination diet can help, and the carnivore diet is a strict elimination diet. Elimination diets work for people who have undetected allergies or auto-immune issues. The slight problem here is that with Joe's background in promoting meat and hunting, that having her on the show comes across as diet advice for everyone. Which it clearly shouldn't be. When he has good science backed nutritionists like Dr Rhonda Patrick it makes a lot more sense if you ask me.
Such a good comment, I totally agree. Most of my doctors didn't mention food at all (my dermatologist was more useful than my endocrinologist!), and only when I took responsibility and researched diets, I felt better. And if a strict diet helps, it's better to miss indulging in food, but be functional and happy.
I suppose what most bothers me is the complete obliviousness to the idea that just because we know *a lot* about how the body works, we don't know *everything* about it. For fuck's sake, they "discovered" a new organ in the human body *this year* named the "interstitium". This arrogance, this idea that you know everything, leads doctors and experts to dismiss anything that doesn't fit what they know as fake or impossible. That's not what science does--it doesn't show you what isn't, only a portion of what is. To believe we can have a perfect understanding of anything in the real world is incredibly conceited.
senselocke very much agree. scientists should be more sceptical than all-knowing. there's this popular attitude towards modern science opposed to "alternative" medicine, and it's making people get extremely arrogant when commenting on this matter. Sadly, most people have to get sick and be left without proper treatment to start searching for answers outside what their doctor keeps telling them. And funny thing, my friend mentioned this new organ recently too in a similar conversation we had. I have to finally find the reddit post about this 😀
Love this episode I have ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, all the things I ate to stay as healthy as I can are now causing me constant physical distress, I got the rheumatoid arthritis after contracting Covid-19, I had covid for 9 weeks and I was alone in my home, 4 months later I’m in shands hospital in the cardiac unit and they discovered long term covid damage and now I have rheumatoid arthritis, I can barely eat anything without increased pain and stiffness with swelling, it’s real and a struggle to find food you can eat, I may look into this myself
I also have severe ankylosing spondylitis and weak bones and need a hip replacement at 28, flare ups are so bad i cant walk or work at the moment so life is hard right now but i know it'll get better, they wanna put me on humria but insurance is being annoying.
I’m 17 and about a year and half ago I got sick with Covid and after that weird things started happening to my body. And now I have rheumatoid arthritis.
I've been off grid now for 10 years and I spent two of those years eating only what I hunted or grew in my garden and it was the best I've felt in my life. It was mostly meat that two years, so I totally understand what she's saying. Now I try my best to follow that routine of that two years but I really like rice and Snickers.
Once you realize that food companies are manufacturing ultra-tasty "foods" that are designed to fuel addiction and illness, it's really easy to break away from the pack and eat what we're meant to - meat and a few plants. So happy that Mikhaila and Jordan spoke up about how much carnivore helped them so that other people could realize this and live a better quality life.
The idea is mass producing cheap products to feed 300 million hungry humans. Dump artificial flavor, sugar, salt and fat in it and light up the brain and fill those bellies with carbohydrates. May not have any nutrients but the masses will be fed.
We're meant to eat complex carbs more than meat. Eat carnivore and shit yourself. There's a reason no endurance athletes do this stupid fucking diet because you legitimately need glucose to survive.
Joe ... You need to have Dr. Ken Berry on your show... He's the author of " The lies my Doctor told me"... He's fantastic! He knows everything about the carnivore diet. Very worth listening to.
My brother is a pharmacist and studies a lot of medicine. He told me that intestines produce some of the same chemicals your brain does - chemicals related to emotional health. Pretty crazy. Makes sense that food would affect emotions.
@@nusnlvs5938 'The Second Brain' is a very well received, not contentious (somehow) within its scientific community, book that gives that anecdote a ton of validity. Would check it out if you are interested
As someone with autoimmune disease, this is fascinating. I can attest to the fact that diet affects my condition dramatically. I do not understand why the majority of the medical fraternity do not advocate an elimination diet. I was prescribed a bunch of meds, including methotrexate and anti-inflammatories but never was I advised to change my diet in any way.
I'm a doctor and recommend elimination diets to my patients. None of them are interested in the discipline it takes to apply it successfully. The world's most commonly prescribed drug is corticosteroids, a response to stress. Drs. Andrew Huberman and Gabor Mate have a lot of information about how health is affected by dietary choices.
Me too, I've been on methotrexate for a few years and they worked for a while, but now they don't have an affect. I started a series of injections (in Japan one shot is equivalent to about $120 and 70% is covered by insurance) twice a month, and the first injection is having a positive effect, but I'm not particularly keen on paying $250 a month forever. So I started carnivore yesterday and gonna stick with it until my next appointment next week. Never had any dietary advice, only been prescribed more meds.
I had 1 Rheumatologist tell me " diet isnot important." After I had lost over 60 lbs in 4 months, with sugar, gluten, and dairy free. She wanted me on Humira. 5 grand a shot & 2 shots a month. Hell no. Got a different Rheumatologist. I have chronic RA. I am starting Carnivore today. I'm on NO medication now, but almost crippled. Self employed with no insurance, (started my on company), I know the body can heal itself, under the right conditions. I'm 57, but not done yet. Lord willing. To answer your question, it's all about MONEY!!!
Bless your heart sweetheart! Your story has a tragic element of possibility but a very hopeful conclusion--thank you for sharing your journey of healing! It’s inspirational!
"Let food be thy medicine" - it's your first medicine. Just because most doctors don't study nutrition most people are told "there's no scientific evidence". Always always do your own research.
@First Last well, yes and no. The problem there isn't that you do the research yourself, it's that you're too dumb to do it well. People like flat earthers first have their prefered idea and then try to prove it. That's the opposite of doing research, the closest thing would be having your idea and then trying to disprove it, and even then, having an idea beforehand is still anti-knowledge.
@First Last no listening to people who have been through it an have life experience is research. No listening to people who tell you what you want to hear to sell you something
“My whole body was itchy, ALL the time” Just think of that. If you’ve never had an itchy body for even a few hours, you cannot IMAGINE the pain, the frustrations of something like this, let alone EVERYTHING else she was dealing with. What an absolute trooper. I take my hat off to you 👒
Dryness and itchyness are the worst. Even more uncomfortable than cystic acne in my opinion. Started carnivore last week hopefully I can overcome both.
Im dialysis right now with an itchy body due to high phosphorus. Ive been recently saying to people they dont realize how taxing it is to be constantly itchy and it also can ware on your mental health. I take 4 to 5 hot showers a day to deal with the itching which creates dryness so i have to be on top of things moisturizing my skin.
I developed severe eczema almost over night i couldn't bend my arms or legs because they would crack and bleed with severe itching, my whole whole body itched. I went through every blood test, dermatological test and doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me and I was on a high dose of Prednisone for over a year and a half. i finally decided to turn to a naturopathic doctor. She knew within 15 minutes of talking to me telling her my symptoms and showing her my test results what was wrong with me. She said, "its your liver". She immediately changed my diet and put me on a few supplements and within about 6 months I was off my doctor prescribed medications, rash free, and feeling so much better. I'd like to say my healing was overnight, but the fact is I had to heal a lifetime of abusing my liver with drugs, drinking, and diet. Diet and lifestyle are everything. I healed my liver and feel so much better I'm still super sensitive to certain foods and they rash me out almost immediately, but she also showed me what I've been eating my whole life that I'm allergic to. I can now once again have a couple drinks and feel fine.
most plants have omega 6 fat, which causes inflammation, while fish have omega 3 fat which lowers inflammation. she keeps mentioning she used olive oil alot which is omega 6.
I literally don't know how people take the Peterson family seriously after comments like this. Remember Jordan Peterson's claim that a single glass of apple cider triggered 25 days of severe anxiety and total insomnia.
I've been living a ketogenic lifestyle (I see it as a lifestyle, not a 'diet') for about 4 months, and I can TOTALLY understand the Carnivore lifestyle . I still eat avocados, lime and lemon juice, and macadamia nuts and pecans. Other than those things, I rarely consume any plant-based foods. I will occasionally have a little Greek yogurt or heavy cream, but that's about it for dairy. I've lost about 15 pounds, my mind is a lot clearer, I have more energy, I don't get hungry, and don't have any cravings. I will NEVER go back to the Standard American Diet - that kills people.
I started keto in May. I am down 30 pounds. I consume mostly meat products or products that come from animals. Grass-fed butter and cheeses and organic heavy cream. Also avocados.
This video gave me hope and a huge sense of relief because I have had both daily and periodic episodes all my life that no one believed and couldnt be explained. Food has always been my enemy and I joke that I'm just an alien who shouldn't be on earth. I can't take supplements or eat a varied diet without feeling drunk, flu-like, extreme back pain, migraines with aura, awful brain fog and head pressure, eye pain, etc, etc, etc. The episodes included my whole body buzzing for weeks like I was being electrocuted, a rush to the hospital for all the symptoms of a stroke and other things that I just accepted and got used to. And, of course, everyone thought I was crazy. Google searches rarely helped me to believe I was not alone. A Dr tried to diagnose me with fibromyalgia until I found a natural Dr who didn't believe I couldn't tolerate healthy foods or supplements. I feel like Im at a dead end. I've been dabbling with the carnivore idea but I really want to give it a real shot now. Thank you for making me feel less alone.
Thanks for asking! It has been a bumpy road. Especially at first. I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't but I went weeks without a headache and severe eye pain which used to be a daily occurrence. If I eat something I shouldn't, it all comes rushing back. With time I hope to tweak the diet and find what works best but still working through some struggles. 👍
You can feel the pain in her eyes when she recalls flare up memories. That's incredible that she found a solution and has shared it with the rest of the world. She's an inspiration for self-reflection and listening to your own body. Thank you for having her on the podcast, Joe!
@sepehr it’s all in the head and it’s it’s memory state. Human mind is very intelligent and it can interpret itself if ure not governed or influenced. This state comes with being a human. Everybody has it but not everyone is taped in it.
@sepehr I would put depression as lingering thoughts and experiences and insecurities that you are holding on and it somewhere you still let that govern the way you look at things.you could have had bad experiences or rough times but if you look at them they can be solved or there is a resort as king you wanna live. While anti depressant could help but at the same time I don’t think it helps much with psychology. You’re basically taking anti depressive and diagnosing ureself with a condition and taking a medication. It’s more about analyzing and get to the core thought and diffuse it or introduce ureself to the right reality meaning understand it’s just a thought and if there is any conflict let focus on learning from it. Evolution mentally and emotionally. If you feel unfilled and u seem questioning life at a point then It’s the alarm in you’re head to fix things which bother you to a point where you’re perspective doesn’t burden you and you’re confined in your own mind and ure improving and living because time is on and so is this one life and the experience you’re creating constantly. Live before you die. There is a lot to see on this beautiful planet earth.Don’t get involved and let other humans affect ure way of living. You got it and life is beautiful nature is beautiful.
@sepehr the reality is you are not permanent. I don't really know what ketogenic is but your body is what you eat so healthy is the way to go! and we humans can cook!!! 1000 years ago they had to hunt! gather wood and make fire with crazy ideas and now the convenience and the way you can cook and how easy it is. so don't take anything for granted. Believe it or not, everything has a joy to it. Be a warrior or a sage they have one in common and it is they have to believe in themselves and need to aware and alive in order to attain their strengths or to even be them.
Here's a theory. Evolutionary-speaking carnivores use their prey as a 'filter' for nutrient digestion. Prey animals digest plants effectively because of one or more specialized evolutionary adaptions. So carnivores eat them, getting nutrients safely without needing the specialized biology. Take termites, 400 species can digest wood and very few other animals can. Carnivore species eat the termites and are basically getting nutrients without being able to eat the trees. And so on along the food chain with chicken, cows, etc. They can digest grass and other plants or grains, that we might otherwise be allergic, or 'sensitive' to. A complementary notion is from the plant's perspective, most don't 'want' to be eaten and likewise seek their own nourishment. Plants are not static or benign, they among the most aggressive kingdom of life on earth. They're in a state of perpetual warfare/adaptation among themselves, fungi, bacteria, predatory herbivores, and who-knows-what else. As in the case of snake venom, modern methods of chemical analysis have revealed that the venom usually contains hundreds of complex compounds of ambiguous origin/function. The same is certainly true of plants, they're likely to carry the random baggage of an epic lineage of survival strategies. So even a 'benign' stalk of broccoli or celery is likely to contain dozens of poorly understood compounds once used for defense or aggression towards unknown assailants or prey. So this is the human diet bell curve. This is the extreme end where people like this have autoimmune issues, she's highly allergic and sensitive to many foods. Then there might be those people with one or more known allergies (peanuts, strawberries, whatever), they're more common. Then there are many more who are 'somewhat' allergic to one or more things(say those non-Celiacs with gluten sensitivity or lactose intolerance). Finally, the majority of us probably tolerate a lot, but we're not every really sure why we're gassy, mentally foggy, or how and when our gut biome is fluctuating. Meat may be a safer way to go, but especially for those with allergic tendencies.
that's a pretty cool theory actually. If a rabbit eats a carrot, what am I missing out on if I eat the rabbit instead of the carrot? Just fiber, which is a nonessential nutrient.
This is like one of those things you read and have to slap yourself because it makes so much sense, everyone should know this. thank you for pointed that out.
I HAVE EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING SHE SAID! Diagnosed with RA also in my youth, been through the cytotoxic drugs and biologics and currently have been in remission w/o meds for two years after eliminating dairy and nightshade vegetables.
I relate to the vast majority of this. I dont follow my diet I ache, breakout in hives, lose strength immediately. The least important thing to me is what anyone thinks about any of it.
I am on day 4 of this carnivore diet and I can’t believe how much more clarity and energy I have. Brain fog is gone.I’ve suffered my whole life from lack of energy. Been going to the same doctor for 15 years and every pharmaceuticals you could imagine with zero help. So I’m so optimistic that there’s hope for the future. I’m amazed and like having a hard time believing all this but 4 days later I’m witnessing a difference I can’t wait for the next couple of weeks
Peterson family are so lucky to have each other and support one another . They went through such a hard time ,Tammy Peterson diagnosed with cancer , Jordan got so sick and almost died . Wishing them all fast recovery
My skin erupted due to biologics that I was taking for my arthritis. Had to change brands a few times. Skin issues are well known for causing skin eruptions.
May I ask what biologics you’re on? I take enbrel for my arthritis, and a couple other oral medications. Haven’t had huge problems body wise from the medication (at least that are noticeable), but it’s definitely a bother to have to take them, and if diet could take a load off my symptoms that’d be incredible! (Just for context, I’m 21, going into my 10th year of being diagnosed with arthritis)
Also, Joe: "So you eat soy and started trippin'?" Mikhaila: "Uh yeah, two days later." Joe thinking to himself: "Thats a long time to wait for a high."
Nightshade is a ghost-type move in the Pokemon series that inflicts damage equal to the user's level. In generation 1, the mechanics were such that it would ignore type immunities; However, post generation 1, this buff was removed.
@@zoeyredmond5501 they are. Vegans will lie to you and say that they feel energetic. Well maybe for the first few months. Few years later? They're supplementing with sleeping pills cuz they have insomnia, taking adderal for headaches, taking antidepressant medication for bipolar disorder and will still defend their diet like a maniac. There's a reason 8/10 people abandon their vegan diet. Ask any of the ex-vegans what they felt like, they'll tell you the truth
I mean many vegans are vegans because they believe that animals have moral status like humans (though perhaps not equal moral status) and, therefore, they possess pro tanto rights against being killed, harmed, or exploited just like humans do. So of course they aren't going to be "accepting" of people who they believe are committing a serious wrong by violating the rights of animals just like you would not be accepting of a person's choice to eat small children because he thought they tasted better than vegetables and grains. Though most vegans obviously do make an exception in cases where the person has no choice but to eat meat or other animal products (e.g. because of *legitimate* health issues or lack of alternatives).
Yeah it’s weird…. I used to have high blood pressure and heart problems… Doc said it wasn’t my weight or diet…. I changed my diet and lost 60lbs and my HBP and heart problems immediately went away.
i am on keto now successfully for 4+ years .. prior to that i had tried almost every diet under the sun.. i have no auto immune issues.. just weight .. i was as high as 300lbs at one point.. the atkins diet took me down to 260.. but i would yoyo .. it wasnt until i got on keto for high fat, that i was able to drop to 210ish which i have been at since midway thru 2019. so while some people do not have the will power to stick to the keto diet.. it certainly proves a lot of what mikhaila has experienced.. foods can and do effect people in different ways.. all plants are, at a base level TOXIC, while meats are not, at least the general production fish, beef, pork and chicken without additives... pretty sure i saw a study on plants and toxicity
Autoimmune disorders like, psoriasis, which I have respond terribly to alcohol. I quit alcohol for 2 years and brought it back in my life recently and it's flamed up terribly. Fasting also helps subside psoriasis. The best results in my life were raw food diet, minimum carbs, and avoiding alcohol.
To all of you throwing your 'science based facts' left and right here, being overly skeptical and critical towards Mikhaila - I hope you never get to experience a horrible autoimmune condition of any kind, because science won't save you then, because the sad reality is that it doesn't have an answer or a cure, at least not at the moment. You are looking at a healthy, glowing woman that only thanks to her dietary choices have transformed herself in a few short years from a very sick, desperately medication dependent person with a rapidly declining condition to what she is now. I have actually done the same and it took me years as well, but if my doctors were less critical and wouldn't insist on the fact that 'diet has nothing to do with it' - I would've gotten there faster. So tired of all these smart asses overly critical and too scared to search for answers themselves if science doesn't have it.. and attacking those who do. She's just sharing her story and isn't forcing anyone to the same.
Interesting how there's "fans" of the JRE that watch such an open-minded podcast, but are honestly such dolts when it comes to actually being open-minded.
There's an important distinction between skepticism of where science has been and studied to death, such as vaccination, versus where science has few answers yet. I partially relate because I had a food issue that my doctor said was psychosomatic but which I had to work out for myself what to avoid, and I still don't hear about anybody linking my symptoms to this food. The science still sucks when it comes to food and autoimmune issues. The self experimenters are often creating the science.
I couldn't agree more. If I break a leg - I'm not going to bathe it in oils or herbal baths to heal it hahaa.. but for autoimmune conditions there are hardly any answers other than treating the symptoms to some degree and sadly quite often that causes a number of other side effects that might only worsen the condition. However, there are some doctors and there have been for a while, who have found the link between diet and autoimmune conditions and who've spent decades studying it and came up with fantastic results and wrote books and papers on it and I was searching for answers from people like that. I have read maybe close to some 50 books on this topic and I always looked for someone who actually studied medicine and on top or besides that found the link between diet and autoimmune conditions as this was reassuring. So I definitely agree that some critical thinking is healthy and necessary in both regards - modern medicine and not.
Alex Smith... They're starting to... My wife has what doctors just call "IBS" and want to throw anti-depressants at it to try and fixt it. In my book, not ok. If you look, there's clinical trials being done for depression and alcohol use. There's articles correlating Fecal Matter Transplants to changes in mood. And, first-hand experience, I live in a mental "cloud" most days myself. I've been exercising for about a year and started to slowly focus on my diet. Cutting out carbs has significantly increased my ability to focus, something that has felt to progressively depleted in recent years.
I have went on a very similar diet as well as my husband and son and since December I have lost forty lbs,my husband and son have lost over fifty pounds,I am off high blood pressure pills and arthrittis shots,my husband's diabetes has disappeared,and my son has had his blood pressure lowered and is so much more physically fit.The amazing part is that it is the simplest diet of any I have ever been on.We eat meat,fish and dark green vegetables...
I love your information! Five years ago I found out I had weird food allergies. The more I learn, the more I am surprised what is out in and on our foods that we shouldn't be eating.
