Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

Meet Jenece, also known as Carnivore Granny. She is 46 years old and has been carnivore for 560 days, as of today. Her journey to wellness hasn't been easy, but it's been life-changing. Fourteen years ago, she was at her lowest point—stuck on the couch, in constant pain, and relying on more pills than she'd like to admit. Over the years, she endured 28 back surgeries, fought chronic pain, and found herself caught in a cycle of doctors and pharmacies. In 2014, she decided enough was enough. Against her doctor's advice, she weaned herself off all medications—a process that took over a year and a half. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. She turned to CBD, yoga, and cycling to manage her pain, and during the COVID lockdowns, she added weightlifting to her routine. She had decided that the pain from working out was productive, and masked the fibro pain. That's when she started diving into ancestral eating and the history of food. Eventually, she fully embraced the carnivore lifestyle, and it has transformed her life in ways she never imagined. She's healed from fibromyalgia, chronic shingles, inflammation, anxiety, and so much more. Her shopping and cooking are simpler, she creates less waste, and she has consistent energy all day long. She wakes up every morning feeling amazing, excited for what lies ahead. This isn't just a diet for her—it's her way of life now. She's said goodbye to running between doctors and pharmacies, and she doesn't miss feeling awful all the time. Through her YouTube channel, Carnivore Granny Chats, she shares her journey, practical tips, and the incredible benefits of living a meat-based life. She honestly believes everyone could benefit from this lifestyle, and she's here to show what's possible when you take control of your health.

Revero Clinic for treating chronic diseases: https://revero.com Join Revero Now to transform your health: https://revero.com/membership Jenny, a 64-year-old woman from rural NSW, has transformed her health and athletic performance through a carnivore diet. Living with her husband Mick, she has a diverse professional background as a bench chemist, outdoor leader, and chef. Throughout her youth and early adulthood, Jenny struggled with weight management, emotional eating, and various health issues. She developed a back problem at 25, battled ovarian cancer at 27, and underwent a hysterectomy at 45. She was also diagnosed with HNPP, a rare genetic condition affecting her nerve sheaths, and developed an alpha-gal meat allergy from a tick bite. In 2021, at age 61, Jenny began her journey with a keto diet before transitioning to carnivore in June 2022. This dietary change led to an 18kg weight loss, stabilizing at 58kg. She has since gained about 3kg of muscle while maintaining her lean physique. The carnivore diet has helped Jenny overcome numerous health issues, including her meat allergy. She now thrives on two meals a day, eating various meats but avoiding dairy. Her HNPP symptoms have significantly improved, and she maintains steady energy levels throughout the day. Jenny has become an accomplished ultramarathon runner, recently completing a 93km race in Thailand in 21 hours and 47 minutes, securing second place in her age group. This achievement earned her a priority entry into the 2025 series final in Chamonix, France. While she maintains a strict carnivore diet during training, she adapts her nutrition slightly during long races. Despite social challenges around her dietary choices, Jenny remains committed to her carnivore lifestyle, finding it has dramatically improved her quality of life and athletic performance. She continues to be monitored by a low-carb specialist and maintains excellent blood work results. https://www.facebook.com/groups/556693360056310 Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer and introduction. 03:31 Facing health challenges: back pain, tumor, fatigue. 08:07 Doctors investigated nerve issues, excited about findings. 12:21 Returned to eating red meat, passed test. 15:25 Stiffness during race led to dietary insights. 17:56 Switched to Carnivore diet due to issues. 23:20 How do you reconcile chef skills with carnivore? 25:33 Different dietary needs; abstain from triggers entirely. 27:43 Calmer, stronger, focused with carnivore diet. 32:48 I avoid sharing unconventional health habits. 33:28 Perceptions shift: diet choices impact weight loss. 39:16 Using carbs and MCT for race energy. 40:42 Earn running stones to enter race ballot. 44:46 Rural town perception limits healthcare advocacy. 47:37 Older individuals thrive on ketogenic carnivore diet.

Lori was born in suburban Chicago, IL, in 1951. Her family lived in several midwestern states throughout her childhood, including Omaha, NE, Kansas City, MO, and Des Moines, IA. Her father died of a third heart attack when he was 52 years old. She was 16 years old. After his death, her mother decided to move the family to upstate New York, where her family lived. She died a year after they moved. She was 18 years old. She finished high school in Rochester, NY, received a BA in English from Buffalo State College, and an MS in instructional technology from Rochester institute of Technology. She has been a technical writer in the software industry, and moved to northern California to accept a job offer as a technical writer. She lives just north of San Jose, CA, with her cat, Daisy. She loved meat as far back as she can remember, even as a tot. However, she never liked vegetables and wouldn't eat them. No one knew much about nutrition back then, and her mom thought that giving her more potatoes might help. But that only unleashed an attraction to, and later an addiction to, carbohydrates, which was later joined by a love of sugar. Despite these emerging bad eating patterns, she was a thin, energetic, healthy child -- until adolescence. Then, the bad stuff caught up with her. She was having more digestive problems and was gaining weight. The digestive problems worsened and turned into inflammatory bowel disease, which she suffered from for nearly 3 decades. In 2019, her colon was pretty much totally destroyed, and she had a complete procto-colectomy (removal of colon and rectum). She now wears an ileostomy bag. She knew she had to change her eating, and she went through several steps -- low carb, then keto, then ketovore, then to carnivore. (A video from Dr. Berry was a game-changer.) Looking back, it's almost a miracle that she embraced carnivore and has thrown off ALL carbohydrates and ALL sugar. Her diet now comes down to two words: EAT MEAT. She's realized several blessings from the carnivore way of eating -- normalized blood pressure and blood sugar, faster healing from bruises and minor injuries, no more belly fat, no more digestive pain...and best of all, far greater mental clarity. She never believed in a million years that she would ever be able to be free of carbs and sugar!

Chad is a father of 4, veteran, an athlete, and martial artist in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community and he has gone carnivore in the last year. It has saved his life. He has a ten year long story of mental and physical agony which has been resolved through carnivore. Every ailment one can possibly think of. Panic Disorder, phobias, PTSD, flu like symptoms almost every time he ate, doctors throwing him on ridiculous medications, weight gain and loss left and right, random bouts of what he can only describe as schizophrenia, extreme joint pain, and so much more. He couldn't even drive himself for a while or be alone in certain places because his frequent panic attacks were so severe. He felt like he was basically crippled and he was so embarrassed of who he was. Nonstop brain fog and exhaustion. He used to beg and pray for just 1 hour of mental clarity. One hour to feel normal. He wanted to die for so long. He knows many other veterans experience this too and they feel so trapped. Now he is competing at a high level as a Black Belt and owner of an Academy. His Instagram has almost 14k followers and he has started a new YouTube channel that he intends to grow rapidly (he used to have a large channel that he took down when he worked for the government). He would like to use his influence and this new channel to try and get as many people from the Jiu Jitsu community and the military/veteran community on the carnivore diet. He believes it will save lives. He lives in a huge military city, and he has a big voice in the Jiu Jitsu community. He believes these communities need this message. Especially veterans who are suffering and he can be that transition voice to reach them.
