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 use an inhaler whenever I ran too much. My immune system was trash as a kid, just like many of you. I remember getting sick constantly. It wasn’t all bad, though. My dad was really into exercising and brought me to the gym with him, even as a toddler.

 

Symptoms And Struggles

 

Despite my limitations, I grew up loving to exercise and played all kinds of sports. Eventually, I grew out of the inhaler, but other symptoms started to arise. I was taken out of lacrosse in high school for almost two years because of a recurring lower back injury that doctors couldn’t figure out. No matter how much I stretched, it always felt weak. 

 

But I continued to exercise over the years, and by age 21, my back never bothered me anymore, but that was when I started messing around with my diet. From age 15, I suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks but never knew why. It wasn’t till I hit my 20s that I experienced depression.

 

Experimenting With Diet

 

About six years ago, I started CrossFit, and it was awesome. I used to be one of those guys who thought no matter what you ate. It turned into energy or muscle. 

 

My health started to decline about three years ago, and I knew I needed to make a change before things got out of my control. Once I started experimenting with my diet, my anxiety and depression would get much worse when I went back to a bigger variety of food. The more restricted I was, the better I felt.

 

Discovering Carnivore Diet

 

Eventually, by age 25, I had no energy at the gym, and my skin was getting really bad. Periods of anxiety and depression were constant every day at the beginning of 2019.

 

I don’t recommend this, but I was scared to go to the doctor because I know the depression medication is harmful to some people, and I was determined to fix the problems, not just put a band-aid on them. I eventually heard Shawn Baker on Rogan and started experimenting with Carnivore.

 

65 Days Into Carnivore

 

I am currently 65 days into it and feel better than I ever have. I do want to say, though, that it took 55 days for me to feel better. It is possible my body was extremely ill, or I just detoxed plant toxins slowly. 

 

I am sure it is a number of factors, but my anxiety and depression are gone, and my skin is getting better every day. I really feel like a new person. I am also feeling great in the gym, and my body is looking really good, too.

 

Encouragement To Not Give Up

 

I just want to encourage everyone not to give up at first. There is a period of time when you’re detoxing and adjusting to the new diet that is extremely hard. Just be patient and give it time.
