Phlebotomist Reveals Why People Are CONFUSED About Carnivore Diet 

I did some simple research the other day. At about 11 000 years ago, the ice withdrew in Scandinavia where I live. Then humans immigrated, following the wild game into the land. At no more than 4000 years ago, Scandinavians learned how to grow crops. So for at least 7 000 years, my ancestors survived without a single carbohydrate, apart from some tiny fruits and berries for a limited time in the late summer. How then, can the vegoons claim that carbs are our bodies' "preferred" fuel? It's not even ridiculous, it's simply a rotten lie!

2yr carnivore (as of yesterday) and have never had a blood-test. Just not interested in the numbers. 59 and feel 35 and never felt better.

Started carnivore this summer. At 58 years old I lost 10 lbs of water & fat. At 210lbs more muscular, feeling great! I wish I found this lifestyle earlier. Great videos Kent! 👍💪

Not a carnivore yet but find this stuff fascinating

This was very enlightening! My dose of levothyroxine has steadily been reduced since becoming a carnivore. I also hope to come off my blood pressure meds. I let my cardiologist talk me into taking statins after resisting them for a long time. I took them for 2 weeks but stopped. I became so weak that I couldn't walk from my car into a store! It was horrible. Once again, Lee, you are the best. Please take a moment to think of my neighbors in the NC mountains. Total devastation.

Bloody brilliant.

A misinformed person (plus many others) on another channel said how healthy fibre is. Lee, sent them to your channel, hope you don’t mind. Keep spreading the word, you two.

Two super real people who know what they’re talking about because they live it each and every day. Thank you for sharing your experience and educating we the people in a positive light! Much appreciated…

Great interview. Had a consultation with Stephen last year when i had a blip, helped me out. Lovely man to talk to with a great deal of knowledge. Wouldn't hesitate to contact him again if I ever have any issues.

EXCELLENT conversation! Thank you, Lee! Thank you, Coach Stephen! Thank you for the encouragement!❤️ By the way, I’m one who reversed Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3a with carnivore!😊👍 (in 2 months, MAYBE 3. I would have to look at the bloodwork again.) (listening to Dr Berry) So thankful!❤️ I will pass this video on!👍 GREAT info! On carnivore, also decreasing thyroid medication (3 times already!). (with endocrinologist)

The nurse at my annual physical wanted to know where to send my lab results. After some confusion, because im a traveler. I just said don't bother with it. I'll find out in a year when i return. As a 6 year carnivore I feel fantastic. So all this testing seems like a bunch of rubbish.

Well, I'm just so pleased to have found two really sensible and articulate individuals this side of the pond. Nobody wants to be considered an odd fish, or conspiracy theorist. However that is exactly what happens when we challenging the mainstream doctrines of health and nutrition. If a lie is repeated often enough - five a day, heart healthy grains, to name but a few - an advertising jingle or tag line somehow becomes a scientifically proven, indisputable fact. I've been low carb for almost eight years. Within months I went from 100kg down to 75. And that was by eliminating bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Over the years I've gradually cut other categories out, but have not, as yet, gone carnivore. I have to say, I'm on the cusp of giving it a go. Very inspiring and informative interview.

Between just the two of you, both in your solo videos, and now with Coach Stephen, I have learned more about metabolic health and wellness, (and bloodwork) than in the past 5 decades from my doctors! THANK YOU both for this particular video. You rock!

Did he just say 60? really dude.....he can easily pass as early to mid 40's with no questions..... carnivore diet really makes you look younger

I now know that i, through eating lots of rice and pasta for years, developed insulin resistance. That has gone now i reckon as i have lost over the stone. Another benefit of eating this way is the quality and tone of my body. 30 years ago i went to the gym a lot and got pretty big. In the last year, my muscle tone has returned to what it was back when i was 20. I developed sleep apnea about ten years ago, which is caused by a softening of the tissue around your airways. That has gone. I have a curvature off three spine from spending tio long in a car with a bad driving seat about 25 years ago. That has improved greatly as the muscles around my spine have improved. My brain also works a lot better again. I had noticed a slowing of my thinking a few years ago and thought it was just ageing. But now i think as clearly and as fast as i always haver done.

A no 💩🐂 conversation, some lovely anecdotes and facts, good questions and answers between two like minded people. This was easy listening. Very well done by Lee & Stephen. 👍🥩😎

After only 1-1/2 yrs on carnivore, my T-score went from168 mg/dL to 655 mg/dL. That's a 300% increase. That was two yrs ago and my T-score continues to be >600. My CAC = 0. BTW I'm a 62 yo LMHR who runs 100K to 100mi a week on ruminants, water, and salt.

I would love a much longer interview between the two of you.

Hey Lee. I just today found out that a great actor, Lance Reddick, passed away last year at age 60 from heart disease. He was very fit and tried to have a healthy diet, enough so that his family and attorney disputed the coroner's findings of passing by heart disease. I can't verify if he was plant-based but he definitely had some odd (but the mainstream would consider exceptionally healthy) eating habits like daily consumption of spirulina, almond milk, flax seed oil, whey protein, chlorella and fruit smoothies according to his own Facebook postings. I think many of us in the carnivore community would agree that his diet could have contributed to his early passing. He certainly didn't die of natural causes at age 60 as his spokesperson, family and attorney would have us believe. Perhaps someone such as yourself might want to make a video about it as we need more warnings that plants aren't good for us.

You should do a show called weekly meating.. )

Wonderful interview, you know how to listen so we get to hear what the guest has to say 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic conversation, Lee! Your colleague, coach Stephen is so great for simplifying complex ideas!

Brilliant interview. Thank you both so much.

I like this interview format. Please do more interviews.

Brilliant, affirming interview. Many thanks!

Lots of concise and easily understandable information provided here. Things are catching on in the real world as I keep encounter other people who have changed to carnivore when nothing else helped. It's uplifting to be able to share my own experiences with them and send the fence sitters to YT explorations such as your own - revelations for most thinking folk. Looking forward to the second part.

My doctor was very concerned about my cholesterol/ldl (20 and above) and when I suggested that this could have been caused by fat, he answered “ if it was the fat we would see it in your blood, but you have no abnormalities there… Big thanks to both of you for a great content❤

Thank you so much, Lee and Coach Stephen. That was excellent guys...I learned a lot. I'm so proud of my Carnivore numbers after 11 months of Carnivore (day 460 now)... HDL 84 TRIGS 54 ratio .64! LDL 117. AND, this is my medical funny: I've reached THERMEOSTASIS 😊 where your body temp matches your body weight. I won't eat veggies (never liked them), fruit, starches, grains, seeds, or any oils ever again. My kidney specialist, good friend gave me a $80 basket of candy, brownies, cookies and chocolates for Christmas. I thanked him for the thought, but giving me diabetes in a basket? and told him HE CAN'T GIVE GIFTS LIKE THIS... HE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW BETTER! He told me about my being in the 5% of America that could eat that way and that my system would become overly acidic and it would adversely affect my bones! This is the healthcare system of today. He was top of his class. And truly believes he's in the right. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyway, thx, again, you two ❣️❣️

What bothers me most about all this testing is that my medical insurance in the US now depends on these numbers. To meet them, I have to stay unhealthy instead of the carnivore I prefer. Because my red blood cells live longer, they're constantly on me about "being prediabetic" and panicking over all the other stats, which means I'm forced to pay higher premiums. I've had to start cheating and donte whole blood in the days before getting my annual mandatory A1C test just to get them off my back. Now they won't take "diabetic blood" so I'm back to higher premiums again. It's the frustrating that medicine and medical insurance is so far behind!

Excellent interview! Thanks so much!!!❤

Watching later

This is such a good interview. But it ended part way!! Please repost with the complete video!

I’m carnivore and my A1C was 59! And my glucose was 114 and I freaked out. So next time I going to get the test to see the life of my red blood cells!

Another one on our side. Thank you for waking up.

Great interview thank you for sharing I never do bloodwork feeling good that’s what count

Informative and enjoyable. Thank you.

Excellent interview, gents.

Loved it. I’m going to share this on Facebook and see if it gets censored. 🤬

Wow, what a knowledgeable guest! Bravo.

Carnivore FTW!

Coach Stephen, yay 😊 always great info

My favorite lab on carnivore is T2: Judgment Day. Yeah, I don't track my labs...

Look up a picture of Halle Berry. She's almost 60 years old. Why does she look so young? Because she's been Keto for the past 30 years. She was diagnosed with diabetes in here early 20s, went keto, reversed it, and now looks like she the fountain of youth. The proof is in the pudding

Dear Lee and Stephen what a brilliant informative and positive interview thank you

He’s doing well for sure

Another exiting and informative Video! Greetings Ingolf

Hello Coach 👋

Hey Kent, love your videos. But I am so confused about the carnivore diet. I did try it for 3 months, but my A1c went up into diabetic range, I did not lose any weight. and my cholesterol went to 1,400! My B12 & iron levels went over the rough, But yes, I did feel good. My Dr. Is very concerned about this. I am not overweight. I am a senior lady almost 70. Exercise everyday. So I don’t know what to do. I have been basically low carb since I was 14 years old, because of my mother being a type 1 diabetic. So she always told me not to eat sugar or starchy foods. So when I heard about the Dr. Akins diet at the tender age of 14 I followed it because I didn’t want to get fat or diabetic, I remember even being anorexic in high school buy not eating at all because I was afraid to be fat. Never had a weight problem. But after breast cancer at the age of 57, that treatment made me gain almost 30 pounds which took me 10 years to come off. So trying to stay healthy which led me to carnivore. But I think I might have to go back to some carbs just for the blood test just to shut my Dr up. Then avoid Drs. from now on, my life on my terms and ignore the BS. I will never take a statin in any way shape or form. I really don’t think Drs know what they are talking about. I have 4 nodules on my thyroid I go to an endocrinologist to get them checked every year, but not once did she ever ask me what I eat, or if I get enough iodine. I was eating a shitload of broccoli everyday cause I was told it is a good prevention of breast cancer, I didn’t know it caused thyroid noduals, plus I didn’t get enough iodine in my diet. She doesn’t even want me to get a full thyroid panel. my regular Dr. she only wants me to take a statin. But I do want to get a genetic test to see if I have a blood clotting factor. Here in Canada you have to do the research and advocate for yourself. Finding a functional medical Dr. costs a fortune and I don’t have that kind of funds. I believe I got breast cancer because my hormones were off and when I went to my Dr. for help she couldn’t help me with hormones, so I did nothing and ended up with breast cancer, hormone triple positive. Crazy I thought I was being healthy, being low carb, exercising, etc. but, no I was wrong. I was dying. Nowadays women can get bio identical hormones which will help balance their hormones, which I think could help them avoid cancer and also being metabolically healthy by low carb or carnivore & getting enough iodine, minerals etc. our soil unfortunately doesn’t have these important nutrients, instead we get pesticides & fluoride, polluted water, air, plastics all affect our delicate endocrine system. Therefore, we get cancer. Plus many other diseases.

Question: Do you think the carnivore diet is appropriate for someone with only one kidney and no gallblader?

My two (new) favourite carnivores

this is great! been carnivore for about 10 months, just had first blood test, haven't got results yet... gonna be interesting with a doctor who thinks nutritional epidemeology is a real science..... !

I was listening to this while on a morning walk and thinking “this guy sounds just like Lee. Why is he interviewing himself” lol I’ve tried carnivore for as long as 20 days but broke the chain so to speak. Im noticing I don’t do that well on ground beef and prefer chuckeye steaks when it comes to digestion. I can afford to have a pound or more of chuckeye everyday but need something else that doesn’t break the bank financially. Any suggestions?

We and our ANCESTORS lived through the biggest LIES "told" to us.... Intentionally to bring about our demise. Also Re Our SPIRITUALITY!!! 😢

Thanks

I’m 40 and train hard . After 4 months on carnivore all my connective tissue has healed . No pains post workout. Skin looks better . I eat fruits for breakfast and beef for dinner . That’s it .

10 MIN IN &....👍👍

I’m 10 months in on carnivore and I don’t have any cheat days, eggs, bacon, ground beef, salmon, ribeyes, grass fed butter and whole fat grass fed milk. My triglycerides went from 80 to 170, HDL stays steady at 68, what could have caused this ? I fasted properly as I know the routine.

damn cheer up bro

Thank you for such UN-common sense. Having your clear explanations is so helpful.

Hi guys Where can you get a fasting insulin test done privately in the Midlands please? Thanks

Perhaps if you look well you are well! 😊 Really not interested in my blood levels 😮 as they're all normal except for one 🤫. Have always looked younger and continue to in spite of 😷 💉 ... Wonder who will look after the sick people when so many are disabled. 😊 Carnivore 18 months.

Hi Kent your thoughts on linoleic acid found in olive oil ?

Wow you look only 43

I have celiac disease can this diet help...

🎉🎉🎉

👍

Oxidised (!) LDL damages your arteries just as high blood sugars would do, just sayin'. And I found it a major bummer that Kendrik just brushed over this in his otherwise brilliant book. Why is every single low Carb Doc or influencer so dishonest about this?

HI,CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH GRAMS OF CHARBOHIDRATES CAN I EAT PER DAY TO HAVE HEALTY LIFE?THANK YOU

comment

Haha 10:28😂

Hello sie im consodeeing starting a carnivore diet but beef is so expensive in my country, i live in poland and most popular and cheapest meats here is pig and chicken, what should i do?

I

What do u say abt adding pepper to meat before consuming it bro ?? Is it ok ?? And also wht do u say abt fruits like blue berries and oranges ??

He looks his age . Dr Ellsworth Warhlem a near life long vegan was doing surgeries in his late 70's and teaching meat eaters surgeries in his 90's . Died at 104 . Far more impressive than some dude who looks their age , we can all agree with that .😊

I hate the way you end your videos. They just end out of nowhere.

My testosterone and libido tanked when I went on carnivore, along with a plethora of other problems. Be careful, we’re not all the same. for reference I exercise 5-6 days a week and have been doing so for the last 5 years. I have a healthy BMI hr blood pressure and blood panels…. Until carnivore

Before the flood we were not carnivores

Carnivore with your flat teeth and nails..? alrighty then.

Blood test results are unfortunately a bit subjective these days. I’ve had a half a dozen blood tests done. Each physician gave me a different opinion and analysis of the results. Thanks as always for your incredible work for humanity. 🥩 🫶🏻❣️
