latest bloodwork this morning

I had my six-month infusion this morning. All went well. The metabolic panel was all good with the exception of the BUN/CREA was up from 25 in November to 26 today. This is a tad bit high, and I am sure it lends itself to the increased protein over last several months. I am trying to hit the 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight and am eating more than what I really want. I feel OK with where this number landed.
The Lipid panel had a couple shifts.
Total cholesterol was 274 back in November and dropped to 201 today.
LDL dropped from 211 in November to 138 today.
HDL was 55 in November and dropped to 51 today.
Triglycerides were 41 in November and 59 today.
I didn't expect the drop in total cholesterol nor the drop in LDL. I have been a lot of meat and when I think the fat content might be off with the learner cuts (I buy whatever red meat has been marked down at the grocery store) I eat quite a bit of butter. At times, as much as a 1/2 to 3/4 sticks a day.
As of late my workouts have increased in intensity at the gym and I do a kettlebell workout in my front yard. I have not walked as much as I have in the past.
My weight dropped from 308 in May '24 to 211 in November '25. In December I started with the heavy proteins, the creatine, the protein powder, store bought protein drinks, and the extra butter and I gained back to as much as 238 but now back down to 228.
Maybe the best part is that the first half of the immune numbers IGG and IGG subclasses are all back within what is seen as normal levels. Nothing is outside what is called a normal immune system. Prior to carnivore the numbers were completely off the charts, some way too low not doing anything, and some way too high, basically attacking any and everything. The remaining tests will be back in a couple weeks.
Overall, I am in a much better spot than just a few months ago, and way better that pre-carnivore.
I wish more people would think about what they are eating.
Babbling.

Just look up Kent carnivore on YouTube.
Remember this..... Dr's aren't curing but managing ( putting a bandaid) on the problem.
Unlike the stuff that is man made, red meat doesn't need to be dosed to each person.
Unless for some unforseen reason your child is allergic to red meat then what's the harm in giving them a proper diet 🤔
We need to take control and responsibility over our health and stop trusting whitecoats because of their misinformation education.

NGL this "smash patty" was delicious

I get these 1 pound packages of grass fed ground beef and do this very thing. Smash it down to fit the skillet I am using. Add salt, heat, and enjoy!

What is the medication?
I was told I could eat anything I wanted as long as I took the medication. I was prescribed Dipentum, a brand name for mesalamine. I started talking it around 2009-2010 and yes, it calmed my gut down and fixed my bowel issues. However, it also tanked my kidneys. I never got any bloodwork until 2019 and suddenly found out I have stage 4 CKD. So research the medication and possible side effects, and stay on top of your sons bloodlabs at least annually or more often.
I made a video about how I got rid of UC.
https://youtu.be/YSYDMzG1wM0?si=824gS3aWXY0736o-
It started by giving up coffee, which was a trigger/irritant for me personally. I was able to get off meds but the biopsy done during my colonoscopy in 2021 or 2022 still tested positive for UC. But I started carnivore in May 2023 and when I had my last colonoscopy in the summer of 2024 the biopsy came back negative.
Why coffee?
It wasn't the caffeine as I still consume that. I was a pot a day drinker, so quantity could have been at play. Coffee is acidic and full of other compounds like polyphenols and other plant toxins that may have been irritating my already-senstive gut lining.

I still toggle back and forth between thick stools and loose stools. But I am not consistent with my fat intake either. Some days are leaner than others and some days are very fatty. The general rule of thumb is that of you have hard to pass stools, you need to increase your fat. The body will use the bile on hand to break down the fat in the stomach. But if you eat more fat than can be processed by your gut then the excess will pass right through.
I have also noticed that for me, cheese is a thickener, natural constipater. I went dairy free one month and had chronic loose stools that disappeared when I added cheese back in. So if you are a cheese lover, try cutting it out for a bit.
Just an idea.
