I want to thank everyone in the comments that shared their past health experiences and how going Keto/carnivore has changed their lives and health for the better. It will help others that are suffering with chronic inflammation, weird symptoms and disease.

I would do more research. Take a look at "Dr. Davis Infinite Health", youtube channel. I just started carnivore and saw this. Been studying functional medicine for 4-5 years and saw incredible results from a period on a keto diet, but there has been something gnawing at me and I kept looking until I saw this (just this week). I have no bias except the evidence of actual results for myself and people around me. I am still open to whatever works best at my long term health and that of my loved ones. Blessing on your journey and please post your progress.

Even a carnivore can eat garden products, squash, strawberries, etc in small amounts -- just graze a little while you water. Even hunter gatherers do that 😄 90% meat is still carnivore !

My wife and I have made a similar conversion with our garden over the past 2 years due to changing over to Keto and now mostly Carnivore. We expanded our chicken flock and feed our garden greens, corn and winter squash to them. We’re also freeze drying stuff like tomato sauce, fruit and sweet potatoes. We’ve managed to find a couple of local sources willing to trade eggs and veg for meat. Pete, if I had your acreage I’d take a shot at raising my own meat.

@kathleensanderson3082 12 күн бұрын

This is what I was going to say. Looks like there's enough land there to support at least some small livestock; the garden produce can go to feed them, or trade for what they can't raise themselves. We have ducks, meat rabbits, and some meat goats on our two and a half acres.

Pete, I'm right there with you on this journey. At 54, I switched to a carnivore diet this January and haven't looked back. Like you, I've ditched the garden-turns out raising my own beef is not only fulfilling but it's really all I need now. The difference in how I feel is night and day, with so much less pain and a clearer mind. It's funny, isn’t it? No one batted an eye when my diet was pizzas, crackers, chips, etc... but switch to steaks and organ meats, and suddenly everyone's warning about cholesterol and health risks. The irony kicked in when my doc put me on statins and that pushed me into tons of research-decided no statins for me. Here’s to living in a world where no one looks out for your own health...except you! follow the money with doctors and rx drugs. Keep thriving on your path!

I believe the oxalates effect us all differently..as we all are different. My own personal story, for years I bought into the green smoothie craze. Spinach & kale etc. Then came the constant burning bladder. I saw multiple specialists and had countless tests, the cystoscopes were the worst. Never any infections. They had no answers for me and now that I look back, none of them were even remotely interested in my diet. I credit my brother for finding my answer. I was in a dark moment of despair and I said I just can’t take it anymore, it’s wearing me out…what can I take for this? He said, maybe it’s what you should stop taking. So I stopped the green shakes and at that time I had no idea what oxalates even were! Within a week my burning slowly subsided, and it’s now gone. I got my life back. I also found Sally Norton, and found much info on line. I had no idea. Thanks for making your video.

I had the same thing! Was vegan and had huge green smoothies every day ate soooo many leafy greens thinking it was healthy. Was diagnosed with Interstitial cystitis (aka: painful bladder disease) and it was so painful and had me up 10+ times a night to pee, had cystoscopies and bladder distension under general anaesthetic, medication, but nothing helped. Went on for 10 years and was ruining my life. In absolute desperation I switched to carnivore and apart from the initial oxalate dumping I've had no more bladder problems ever since!

I'm thrilled to see other's success stories. I had so much inflammation in my knees I knew if I went to a specialist I'd be shoved into knee replacement surgery. I vowed to exhaust all options before surgery. I began eliminating foods and improving. I kept eliminating until I was down to almost nothing but meat. Within 2 yrs I was walking twice a day to total 2.25 mi per day for several yrs. Over a year ago I had the "flu" which ruined my lungs. After 15 months I can feel my lung function coming around. I'm walking again - starting with 1/2 mile. I can tell I'll be able to improve quickly back to 2+ mi per day. I eat beef, brats and liver. Zero chicken because of the lectin. Life is so simple now that I don't need to have a variety of veg around. I do eat strawberries and blueberries occasionally.

I can relate with you, I too had a garden and bought a freeze dryer. I thought I was eating healthy and I couldn't understand why my body wasn't healing. I did keto for two years and lost weight and felt better, but I had heard from some doctors who became carnivore, how their arthritis and diabetes went away. Then I after researching for a year, I decided to go on an elimination diet for 3 months, no veggies, just red meat eggs and bacon and salt and sardines once or twice a week. I couldn't believe the wonderful benefits that happened when did this. Like you within weeks my triglycerides went down from 300 to 90 and my knees got stronger. I had broken my leg the year before and now the muscles and my meniscus in my knee was healing. Diabetes numbers started going down. A1C. I am now 7 months in and I plan to continue. My doctor isn't happy, but she sees the results. No anxiety, hormones are balancing out. My tennis elbow is gone. My energy levels are getting better. I am a 71yr old female. My skin is looking younger. No skin tags. Yes I still have some more healing to go, but something positive is happening to my body. Doctor says you need any pills for pain depression...no doctor I feel so much better. She is scratching her head as she wanted me on statin drugs and other things. I hope this is the right direction for you and me. Keep up the good work. Dr. Ken Berry book "The Proper Human diet," Dr. Elizabeth Bright on hormones need cholesterol since they need cholesterol for building hormones, Dr. Ovidas a heart doctor journey research and such, Dr. Chaffee. Well the list of doctors is growing.

If you have livestock, feed these vegetables to them. They can get the max nutrition out of them better than we can. So, when we eat their meat and organs those nutrients are methylated for us to absorb to the max. I am carnivore too. 5 years now. Had multiple autoimmune disorders and thyroid nodules with a litany of symptoms and inflammation that I take 2 different immunosuppressives for. Hoping to reverse it. Had lots of problems with health that did resolve with meat heavy keto, low oxalate veg, no nightshades and not much veg at all really. Just a tiny bit to flavor my food now like a little garlic and onion. You’re doing the right thing mister. Keep at it.

My Gardens have switched mostly to food production for The Animals. Things that are easy to grow, easy to store Winter/off-season. And that will feed animals. There's 3 acres of Garden that are now pasture and food plot for the animals. I've gone carnivore .. but my choice of meats is not typical. Carnivore enthusiasts seem bent on a beef preference. If not beef, more generally ruminants. I can't do that without acquiring outside dependencies on meat supply that I do not want. My flavor of Carnivore consists of the small livestock I can raise and feed on my own, as well as what we hunt here on The Homestead - Chicken (both meat birds and egg layers), Musvovy/Duck (including wild/native Mallard we hunt as well as the Meat breeds we raise) Deer, Goose (both native Canada and we raise American Buff) Turkey (we raise Bourbon Red) , Meat Rabbit, Wild Cottontail, Bass and Catfish. The occasional Hog/Pig but we don't do that every year. Beef is a rare treat that we have to buy in as we don't have the land base to support cattle. Carnivore doesnt necessarily mean Cow, folks.

7 years ago, I decided to go whole foods, plant-based, after reading of Dr. John McDougal's books. He and his colleagues convinced me it was the way to go. He listed testimonials in his books and his website - people were healing and losing weight. So, I bought the idea. Fast forward to the end of the 7th year. My hair was falling out. I could not grow fingernails; they would break, peel and splinter. My vision was going to pot. Then I heard about Paleo, Keto, Carnivore, and the Lion Diet. And I started reading and watching as many videos as I could and all the doctors that were promoting eating meat. So. I tried it. And it is amazing how quickly your body begins to heal. My nails are stronger now than ever. My dry eye has improved. My hair is still falling out, but not quite as much. It's still a struggle, a big culture changed - but I keep working at it.

I am 81 and I fractured my hip last October and I made a good recovery and my surgeon said that was because of my garden and the strength that I had. He said to be sure to have a garden again this year. I decided to go carnivore on May 11 in the midst of planting my garden so I decided to just work hard in it and plant the usual things and put the produce in the clubhouse in my mobile home park for other people. Win-win. I don’t really like to give them things that will hurt them however they need food and they will buy the things anyway. Inflation has hit seniors hard. The hard part is that I had just replanted my strawberry bed and they are my favorite food in the world. I allow myself two small strawberries a day and that helps keep the oxalate dumping from getting out of hand according to Sally K Norton.

Now that the strawberries are coming in I get max 5-10 a week so I'm eating them and sharing them so not enough to cause any symptoms. Lately I've been reading that some people are wanting to modify the carnivore diet to eat more normally and having a hard time adding foods back in. I don't want any diet protocol to make me a slave to it so a few strawberries or some onions, garlic in my crock pot with the meat doesn't seem to be a problem and makes me feel like I could modify my diet without suffering if I add a few low oxalate low carb fruits like zucchini or fermented things back in from time to time.

I'm in the same boat. I have garden beds full of winter/spring vegetables being winter here in NZ currently. I came across carnivore a couple of months ago (via Dr Anthony Chaffee) and was truly gutted about the gardening situation but, I've always had a passion for flowers and having vases in the house filled with pretty flowers so that's what I'm going to do now. The carnivore lifestyle has too many benefits not to take notice. I wish I had found it years ago but, better late than never. Thanks for your video ☺️

I have a similar set up. I've gardened for decades and now eating carnivore. I wondered what to do with my garden as well. Last fall, I bought sheep and let them loose in there for fall clean up which they did amazingly well. This year I planted a lot more flowers and very few vegetables. I have a pen beside the garden that has had at various times, ducks, pigs, chickens and now sheep. I plan to do meat birds again. They are also great at cleaning up a garden. My experience with carnivore is similar too with the heart palpitations, bloat, joint pain etc. Stuff I've dealt with for 20+ years. When I'm strict with carnivore all of that goes away. It's truly amazing.

I'm glad I discovered your channel! I've seen lots of carnivore videos, but yours really spoke to me. I've been bored with carnivore choices. Your great benefits inspire me to try again and make it work. Look forward to more videos. I love gardening, but I've always given most away. I just enjoy growing things and playing in the dirt. I encourage everyone to do carnivore, but I find many older people barely get by affording inexpensive foods, so I know they will always enjoy free tomatoes, etc. I will preserve some for whatever, though. Thanks for a great video. I look forward to all your videos. Show shopping for meat, cooking, freeze drying, etc. Can freeze dry eggs, too.make very thin, crispy ground beef "crackers", jerky, beef sticks, etc. to preserve meat.

Feels like all the homesteaders will slowly become carnivore and change the world! You all have large audiences, just think of what you can do to educate the world! Very good!!

Fruit is low in oxalates. Veggies are high.

Fruit is high in fructose… very bad for you.

Oh boy are you taking the heat for this. Lol. I’m glad that you found a path to health that works for you. I’m eating mostly meat but have now included berries, kefir and other dairy. I still eat some other foods but stick mostly to meat. I have neglected my garden because of this but I think I’ll take a cue from you and keep the beds healthy JIC. Thanks for the thought.

My parents (Italian) had a huge garden- both lived a long life. Maybe you can donate to those who will appreciate fresh veggies. When you said ca-cootz for Italian squash my heart dropped! I never knew what zucchini was! Only ca-cootz I’m carnivore - 3 months. I’ll never go back unless I have to! Beautiful garden!!

I love gardening, it's so healing and beautiful. I kept growing herbs, fruit, and veggies after I became carnivore and then gave the produce away to my neighbors who loved it. We have a book sharing box, and I also put my produce in there for anyone passing by who wants it. It's always gone in less than a day. My goal is to get a piece of property where I can have chickens & pigs so I can give it to them!!!! Love the idea of freeze drying for emergency back up.
