When I was a kid my dad was a hunter. He often brought back deer and tried to convince me it was Rudolph or Bambi, lol. He would process it himself in the garage and kitchen, and send the heads away to a taxidermist (??) which then sent them back and they are still on his wall to this day.

Those of us who make up the carnivore community need to focus on building up and encouraging one another, and not laying down an bunch of rules and then telling others that they aren't a "true carnivore" because they might not be as strict as can be. A carnivore-centric diet can of course be strict for some, but it doesn't have to be for everyone. A hypercarnivore, by definition, consumes 70% or more of their diet from animal products.

This supplement dramatically cuts heart attack risk, scientists sayStory by Vishwam Sankaran A pharmacist removes boxes of "Uvesterol D" vitamin medication from a shelf© AFP via Getty Images Scientists have found tailoring the intake of vitamin D in patients diagnosed with heart disease can dramatically cut the risk of heart attacks. The finding suggests individualising vitamin D doses for patients based on their blood levels rather than administering uniform “one-size-fits-all” doses as has been done commonly until now. Vitamin D is a hormone mainly synthesised in the skin via sunlight exposure, and is known for its positive effects on inflammation and heart health. Widespread vitamin D insufficiency and the growing burden of heart disease globally emphasise the need for simple, cost-effective interventions to reduce death risk. While low vitamin D concentration is linked to adverse heart disease outcomes, intervention studies until now have yielded inconsistent results, researchers say. Now, scientists call for tailoring vitamin D intake for each patient to achieve optimal circulating levels as a key strategy to mitigate heart disease risk. “Our results suggest that targeting vitamin D supplementation based on blood levels can significantly diminish the risk of subsequent heart attacks,” said epidemiologist Heidi T May from Intermountain Health. “This approach demands a personalised, vigilant clinical protocol that diverges from the traditional fixed-dose model,” said Dr May, an author of the study presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025. Researchers recommend a rigorous monitoring protocol which adjusts vitamin D supplementation every three months. The latest clinical trial assessed 630 adult participants diagnosed with acute heart disease at Intermountain Medical Center in Utah for a six-year period, with an average follow-up of just over four years. Nearly half had a history of prior heart attack. Over 85 per cent of participants initially had suboptimal vitamin D levels below 40 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) of blood, underscoring widespread insufficiency of the hormone in this population. Researchers grouped the participants randomly into two groups – one, which received standard care without vitamin D level management, and another treatment arm, which underwent serial blood testing and personalised dosing of the hormone to surpass the 40 ng/mL threshold safely. Scientists found that the treatment group experienced a 52 per cent reduction in the risk of recurrent heart attacks compared to controls. This finding marks one of the most significant effect sizes reported in recent vitamin D cardiovascular research, researchers noted. However, researchers urge doctors to be cautious of the findings as it remains to be corroborated by larger, peer-reviewed trials. Nonetheless, they say the data could pave the way for new heart attack prevention strategies centered on nutrient optimisation.

Sorry for the delay. I've had a crazy few weeks in real life due to a large construction project were on. And there's like zero cell signals there so all day long my phone is useless. Hydrocortisone cream my provide some relief. Keto rash is a common topic and there's a plethora of information out there, along with various ideas as to what causes it and how to prevent it. https://www.bing.com/search?q=ketp+rash

If we tag her like this ---> @Asmaa or quote her words, she should get an email letting her know we're talking about her :) So what were the results?

So let's start by describing your symptoms. Where is the rash? Is it all over or concentrated on certain parts of your body? Does it itch? I can understand why you might not be sure which it is, a keto rash or a histamine intolerance, since symptoms of the two can be similar. I wouldn't do this. Like @Geezy said, fat is your energy. I would still aim for 70% of your calories coming from fat and 30% coming from protein (this is acheived by basically eat 1g of fat for every 1g of protein). According to Dr. Boz, on variant of a Keto rash in an inflammation caused by little "critters" living in your skin that love glucose. If you are not eating enough fat, then your body will be working overtime to convert protein into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. It's as if you are eating carbs. They were initially starved when you started keto, but when you decided to lower the fat, your glucose production may have went up, and these little guys got excited and started multiplying. I'm not sure if I buy that, but she makes it make sense. If you are actively losing weight and burning your body fat, these could actually have toxins or histamines stored in them, which are being released into your blood stream. Again, where is the rash? Centrally located? Or all over? Some thoughts on how to test this yourself include adding back in 50-100 carbs a day for the next 2 weeks by adding fruit. This is called an "animal-based" carnivore diet (for whatever reason, lol). But STILL EAT the eggs, steak, and whatever else you have been eating. If it's keto rash, symptoms should alleviate and you can then try again with cutting the plants out. If it's histamines I wouldn't expect any changes. For keto rash, topical steroids will help for itching and oral antibiotics with help with inflammation. To test for histamines, aim for the freshest meat possible, straight from the butcher. Grocery store meat will have been hung and aged for weeks before packaging. Avoid jerky, canned meats, etc. For histamines, an antihistamine will help alleviate the itch. So if antihistamines help, your problem leans towards histamine intolerance. If hydrocortisone cream and an antibiotic help, then it's more likely keto rash.

Yes, through gluconeogenesis, the body synthesizes glucose from proteins to maintain blood sugar levels and prevent hypoglycemia, as certain cells in your body are dependent on glucose. While it's demand-driven, it's not a fast process. It can be triggered by fasting, but it doesn't really contribute meaningfully until after about 6 hours of fasting. Maybe a little sooner with intense exercise. So that intense exercise for most people (carb eaters) is fueled by glucagon that's already in your cells. Glucose in your blood can be quickly ushered into the cells with insulin. But if there is no glucose freely flowing in your veins and you are not fully fat adapted you will likely feel fatigued and weaker because your running low on energy. If you are fat adapted and the body is expecting these regular intense exercise sessions then it will have plenty of fat/ketones on hand.

I must say that I am once again a fan of the power bowl. Lately I have been mixing ground beef, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, and bacon all together. It's so tasty that cheese isn't even required, lol.

Excellent. I love hearing about carnivore successes, even the seemingly small ones that actually really really matter as they continue to add up. Keep doing what you are doing!

Thanks for sharing. I'll save this to listen to later. I listened to just a little random portion of it and it sounds like it might be a very good 2+ hour interview.

As expected. Carbs provide a lot of instantly available energy. Fat/ketones provide a steady stream of sustained energy. Consuming carbs is like throwing crumpled up newpaper into a fire. It instantly burns releasing energy. Eating fat is like throwing a log on that fire. The fire is going to keep burning for hours and is guaranteed not to go out. What I have heard is that yes, you will see a performance hit in the gym. But over time, as you become more and more fat adapted, you will eventually get back to those performance markers you were hitting previously. But it won't happen overnight, and it might even take a year.

This "quitting carnivore" or "adding back carbs" themes circle back around every couple years. It's mostly click bait, as mentioned above. Even my first video I made on my channel (2 years ago) I put the words "I almost quit carnivore" because it was trending back then. Although in my case, it was a true part of my story that I almost scared myself into quitting when I got blood work that I didn't expect, I admittedly put those words in there to attract interest, lol. In hindsight I kinda hate it and alway intend to make a new thumbnail for that video.

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of LeadProtein supplements are wildly popular, but CR’s tests of 23 products found that more than two-thirds of them contain more lead in a single serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day By Paris Martineau Investigative Reporter Published October 14, 2025·Updated October 15, 2025 It's been 15 years since CR last tested for lead in protein powders and shakes. This time, the average level of lead was higher, and fewer products contained undetectable amounts of it. (Photo: Scott Meadows/Consumer Reports) Much has changed since Consumer Reports first tested protein powders and shakes. Over the past 15 years, Americans’ obsession with protein has transformed what had been a niche product into the centerpiece of a multibillion-dollar wellness craze, driving booming supplement sales and spawning a new crop of protein-fortified foods that now saturate supermarket shelves and social media feeds. Yet for all the industry’s growth and rebranding, one thing hasn’t changed: Protein powders still carry troubling levels of toxic heavy metals, according to a new Consumer Reports investigation. Our latest tests of 23 protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes from popular brands found that heavy metal contamination has become even more common among protein products, raising concerns that the risks are growing right alongside the industry itself. For more than two-thirds of the products we analyzed, a single serving contained more lead than CR’s food safety experts say is safe to consume in a day—some by more than 10 times.

Welcome aboard Jonathan. It was a pleasure having you on our Monday Night livestream/video call. I'm always inspired to see someone reversing CKD. It gives me hope that someday I will significantly reverse mine.

Awesome report @MimiDez . I quit coffee in 2019. I drink tea now but I don't feel dependent on it like I was with coffee. I feel liberated. I've heard a recommendation for those with gerd and acid reflux, besides cleaning up the diet, and that is to put a brick or two under the legs of the headboard side of your bed, so that your whole body is sleeping at an angle. It's supposed to be much more effective than those special wedge shaped pillows.

Awesome! So you're 10 months in. That's great! Was it a "new years resolution?" I couldn't help but notice the timing. What are some of your highlights so far?

Welcome aboard! How recently did you get started?

Hey, keep doing what you are doing. A keto/ketovore approach is still part of the proper human diet spectrum. And the green beans, cabbage, and mushrooms are going to be pretty benign from a weight loss perspective. Focus on abstaining from grains and refined sugars and eat only what the earth provides, and you will be off to a great start! If I am going to "cheat", I will "cheat" with something keto friendly. I don't even consider it cheating because I have no guilt in doing so, and no qualms about admitting it. I am on a carnivore diet most of the time.
