I have been low carb for about 16 years now, which has been great to maintain my weight and fitness. I have had Rumination syndrome my entire life, and just going low carb didn’t seem to help it at all. As I have gotten older I have started to develop GERD/heartburn-type symptoms also. I tried taking those Hydrochloric acid vitamins
Growing Up With An Autoimmune Disorder I grew up with a classic autoimmune disorder. I remember seeing psoriasis on the back of my legs when I was a toddler, and throughout the years, it has flared up and even stayed on some embarrassing areas of my body, like my face. I also had asthma, which required me to
My Journey Into The Carnivore Lifestyle I’ve been approximately 90% carnivore for the last nine months. I’ll never forget the first time I came across the subreddit r/zerocarb. I read the group description and laughed at the part about not eating any plants. Unlearning Conventional Science I vividly remember telling myself, “These people are crazy…everyone knows we
I just wanted to share a simple story to help get the word out there. Back in 2006, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I mentioned to the doctor that I thought I was too young (25y/o) to be diagnosed with that condition. She told me normally yes, but with all the hormones in food, it’s not surprising and that

I suppose I’m an example of the carnivore diet (mostly beef with salt) benefiting even those who are doing fairly well to begin with: Initial Health Concerns I started getting sweaty hands and feet around 18. I really started to notice how warm
I’m a 26-year-old male and have been chronically besieged by severe social anxiety since I was 13. The Dark Days Of Chronic Social Anxiety And Depression Interacting with anybody was a huge deal. I would have to fake my personality outside while feeling total mental pain and anguish. Eventually, the chronic social anxiety gave way to a strong unshakable
Childhood Challenges and Sensitivities As a kid, I had a sensitive digestive tract. I carry a lot of stress gastrointestinally, and my childhood was characterized by physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; I carried that inside in so many ways. I dealt with excruciating gas cramps, constipation that made appendicitis seem like a dream, etc. I was suicidal throughout my
Back in November Matthew was diagnosed with testicular cancer. His wife reports that “If you don’t know much about this, it’s a very curable cancer, but the chemo drugs and regimen is one of the worst there is.” Matthew’s Diagnosis and Introduction to the Carnivore Diet Matthew got through his chemotherapy, avoiding most of the side effects, with
The Desperation For A Solution I may be getting ahead of myself, only having changed my eating habits a little over three weeks ago. I had been an “almost vegan” for the last seven years or so, having watched Forks Over Knives back in the day. To me, I felt like this was the ultimate scientifically proven way
