Dr. Benjamin Bikman dropped a bombshell on the carnivore diet: “The metabolic improvements in people who go carnivore are absolutely mind-blowing… shocking how quickly they cut medications, feel better, look better, and move better. I’ve never seen anything comparable.” He admits the evidence is still emerging (mostly anecdotal and...

Could one ratio tell you if your heart is healthy? Yes — the triglyceride-to-HDL ratio (TG ÷ HDL) is one of the strongest simple markers we have. Dr. Ben Bikman and many metabolic experts highlight it because: • Lower ratio ( 2.0) often signals insulin resistance and higher cardiovascular risk. Real-world wins: low-carb, carnivore, cutting sugar/seed oils, and prioritizing animal protein/fat often drops this ratio dramatically. No single number is perfect — pair it with ApoB, fasting insulin, hs-CRP, blood pressure, and lifestyle — but this one is incredibly useful. What’s your TG/HDL ratio? Drop it below 👇 Mine is 0.58

Michael Pollan and Joe Rogan went head-to-head on the carnivore diet. Pollan’s warning: No plants means no fiber. Your gut microbes starve, then start eating the protective mucus lining in your intestines. This can lead to leaky gut and inflammation. Rogan pushed back: Many people on strict carnivore for 20–30 years report huge improvements in depression, anxiety, and autoimmune issues. The gut microbiome thrives on dietary diversity. Both plant fibers and animal proteins influence different bacterial populations. Long-term studies show that extreme restriction (whether zero plants or zero animal foods) can reduce microbial diversity, while balanced diets tend to support broader microbiome health. The gut microbiome affects everything from mood to immunity. This debate shows how divided the science still is. I’m genuinely curious, do you think a long-term carnivore diet can actually work well, or are plants pretty much essential?

Bacon and eggs. Full carnivore. 🥓🥚 This way of eating healed my body. Strict carnivore reversed my type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, GERD, and helped me lose 132 pounds in under a year. It was the most effective elimination diet I’ve ever used, and I believe in it 100% for healing, especially for metabolic dysfunction and autoimmune issues. That said, I’m at a different point in my journey now. My body has healed enough that I can test certain foods and tolerate them without derailing my progress. That doesn’t erase how I healed, and it doesn’t change what I recommend for people who are trying to heal. I am not telling people to eat pickles and call it carnivore. I am telling people not to quit healing because they think perfection is the only option. Carnivore is an incredibly powerful tool. For some people it’s lifelong. For others it’s a phase of healing. Both are valid. My lane is helping people start, stick with it, afford it, and heal their bodies in the most efficient way possible. More animal foods will change your health. That message stands. ❤️👑

The low-fat carnivore trend falsely claims to mimic an ancestral diet. This is wrong. ​Ancestors ate high-fat megafauna (mammoths); hunters today still target fat-rich animals (whales, seals, polar bears). Even Arctic fish are fat-rich. Larger animals, especially Arctic species hunted in the Ice Ages, naturally carry a higher percentage of body fat. Significant inter-abdominal fat is also found in the omentum, mesentery, and around the kidneys. Healthy animals simply have more fat than starving ones. ​Due to decades of processed food propaganda, people now discard nutritious subcutaneous and abdominal fat, consuming only lean muscle. Discarding this fat is not an ancestral practice. ​Avoiding animal fat sacrifices vital nutrients—DHA, EPA, Vitamins D3, K2, A, E, choline, cholesterol, and saturated fat—essential for neurological function and child brain development. ​Weight stalls often stem from a "dirty carnivore" diet (dairy, artificial sweeteners). When issues arise, people wrongly blame high fat, forgetting high-fat carnivore initially drove their health and weight loss. Switching to low-fat risks malnutrition and protein poisoning, which can result in weight loss, but at the expense of health. As health suffers, people blame long-term ketosis on the poor health effects, even though this is against all the best long-term peer-reviewed evidence (See my YouTube video "Is ketosis harmful?"l for more). Remember that your hormones like testosterone and estrogen are made out of cholesterol, and avoiding fat will make all hormones suffer. Eating carbs raises insulin and insulin resistance, which suppresses testosterone in men and estrogen in women. Fat is an essential nutrient, and is good for you. Don't avoid fat just because it's trendy and you don't want to give up dairy or sweets. That is good for you, so eat the damn fat. #carnivore #carnivorediet

“My job was to hit joints with hammers and saws as a doctor,” former orthopedic surgeon Dr. Shawn Baker told me. But now he’s telling his patients to consider going on a low-carb, high fat diet or even a carnivore diet—instead of immediately opting for knee replacement surgery. Baker says high-carb, high-sugar diets trigger chronic inflammation that destroys joint lubricants and accelerates arthritis. The culprit? Elevated insulin. When it spikes, the cells that keep joints moving smoothly start releasing inflammatory cytokines that damage our joints. And what drives high insulin levels in the blood? It’s mostly carbohydrates and in particular refined carbohydrates like sugars, starches and grains. Inflammation caused by too much insulin, he said, is associated not only with arthritis but with all sorts of other complications as well like diabetes, heart disease, cancer—and even depression and dementia. And insulin is not the only thing that drives inflammation, Baker says. Extra belly fat also releases inflammatory signals into the bloodstream: “One of the most impactful things you can do is lose the excess central fat. If you have extra belly fat, man or woman, that [fat] is driving inflammation, it's driving all kinds of metabolic problems. So that’s of critical importance to lose that extra body fat.”

What if We're Using GLP-1 Medications All Wrong? Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are transforming the landscape of medical weight loss, but could their side effects be a sign that we’re not harnessing their full therapeutic potential? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Ben Bikman (Benjamin Bikman), metabolic health researcher and professor at BYU, joins Dr. Bret Scher (Bret Scher, MD) to explore a powerful new framework: using GLP-1 medications at low doses and for short durations to help curb carbohydrate cravings, break addictive eating cycles, and support long-term metabolic health. Rather than prescribing high doses indefinitely, Dr. Bikman proposes a more targeted approach: - Microdosing GLP-1s to enhance satiety and reduce cravings for processed carbs - Using the medication as a temporary metabolic tool to support transitions to lower-carb diets - Reducing long-term risks such as muscle loss, mood changes, and diminishing effectiveness - Emphasizing the importance of habit change, insulin regulation, and muscle preservation This conversation reimagines GLP-1s not as a lifelong solution, but as a catalyst for sustainable, low-insulin lifestyles, aligned with ketogenic and metabolic therapies. 📌 Could a 90-day microdosing protocol replace years of medication? Learn how this metabolic-first strategy could empower patients to reclaim their health, without becoming dependent on medication for life. #GLP1 #Ozempic #Wegovy #Mounjaro #BenBikman #MetabolicHealth #Microdosing #InsulinResistance #LowCarbDiet #KetogenicTherapy #MedicalWeightLoss #BretScher #MetabolicMind Expert Featured: Dr. Benjamin Bikman Benjamin Bikman Papers/Articles Mentioned: Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.

Could it be that only 5-7% of individuals with mental health conditions in the U.S. receive highly effective treatment? Let that sink in. Our medical system is failing to deliver effective evidence-based, solutions to millions of people that are relying on it for care. Harvard psychiatrist Chris Palmer, MD, author of Brain Energy, believes we can do better. Dr. Palmer has been at the forefront of metabolic psychiatry, an innovative approach targeting the root causes of mental illness, like metabolic dysfunction and brain energy deficits. Emerging strategies like ketogenic therapy are showing promise, offering new possibilities for recovery and transforming mental health care as we know it. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift in psychiatry and in this interview, Dr. Palmer highlights how metabolic therapies are opening new doors for recovery. We can do better. And we must.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a practical bombshell on fasting: Skip dinner for the biggest metabolic wins — but most people can't because it's the family/social meal. In this 6:21 clip he explains: - Fasting through dinner objectively yields greater fat loss, insulin control, and metabolic benefits than skipping breakfast (per studies). - Evening is the "witching hour" for temptations — big lunch + modest dinner keeps insulin flatlining early, while skipping dinner risks overindulging and poor sleep. - Breakfast is the easiest skip: no family dynamic upset, busy mornings, Dad can still make crepes for the kids while sipping tea. - "You can't out-exercise a bad diet" — but you can massively improve insulin sensitivity by extending low-insulin windows (e.g., big lunch, light dinner, no late snacks). - Personal rule: Big protein/fat lunch, modest dinner — avoids the "one meal a day at dinner" trap that leads to overeating and failure. His takeaway: Do the fasting window that fits your real life — consistency beats perfection. Have you found skipping breakfast or dinner works better for you (energy, hunger, weight, sleep)? What's your go-to strategy?

The Strange Science of Eating Only Meat (New video) The video linked above is a 20-minute breakdown of my experience with the lion diet and, more importantly, the literature and social movement surrounding the carnivore diet. Here’s a 1 min trailer and primer👇 The carnivore diet has had a fascinating trajectory over the past decade, and people are now questioning whether it’s dying off, the inevitable fate of any fad diet. My thesis is that the story is more nuanced. Carnivore, like any dietary pattern, does not need to be a religion. It can be a therapeutic intervention. Some people may need it for long periods of time, others just for chapters. In this way, it’s analogous to a medicine. If you take the time to watch the video, or even if you don’t, I’d just ask you to consider that maybe what we need here is a little less arrogance and derision, and a bit more curiosity and compassion.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a truth bomb that shatters the “exercise fixes everything” myth: “You can’t out-exercise a bad diet.” In this 48-second clip, he shares a study on overweight type 2 diabetics: - Group 1: Vigorous, coached, high-intensity exercise multiple times a week - Group 2: Just a low-carb diet (no exercise at all) Result? The low-carb group alone had significantly greater fat loss + better glucose & insulin control than the intense exercise group. Bikman: “Changing your diet will yield significantly greater returns on your investment than trying to exercise.” (He still defends exercise hard — but says diet is the bigger lever for metabolic health.) Mind blown? Or does this match what you’ve seen in your own body? Have you ever dropped serious fat or fixed blood sugar with diet changes alone — no gym required? Share your experience below.

This is what real carnivore meal prep looks like when you go all-in 🥩💪 Guy grabs a whole 18.64 lb ribeye from Costco for $242… then fires up his knife and turns it into 16 thick, juicy steaks right there on the counter. He’s slicing them an inch thick, talking about how the carnivore diet completely changed his life — his aches and pains gone, mental clarity on point, even helps with his ADHD. Two big steaks a day (breakfast AND dinner) and he never gets sick of it. Boxes them up, done. Grocery bill around $500 a month and he’s the happiest and healthiest he’s ever been. I’ve done the carnivore diet before and felt 20 years younger… might go back to it now that summer is almost here! Anyone else eat carnivore?

Ketogenic diets in the ICU? The research is beginning to explore it. In a randomized controlled trial of 40 patients with sepsis, investigators tested a medically supervised ketogenic diet during critical illness. All patients in the ketogenic group achieved stable nutritional ketosis, with no serious adverse events attributed to the intervention. After day four, none of the ketogenic patients required insulin — compared to 35–60% of patients in the control group on any given day. The ketogenic group also experienced: • More ventilator-free days • More vasopressor-free days • More dialysis-free days • More ICU-free days Researchers observed signals consistent with reduced immune dysregulation and lower inflammatory signaling — a meaningful finding in a condition defined by metabolic chaos and systemic inflammation. This was a small, early-phase trial. It does not establish standard of care. But it adds to a growing body of evidence that metabolic therapy may have applications beyond chronic disease — including critical care.

Protein is essential. But more protein is NOT always better for fat loss. If your meals are very lean, your body can convert excess protein into glucose through gluconeogenesis instead of burning stored fat. That can keep insulin higher than expected and slow metabolic progress, especially for people healing insulin resistance or trying to stay in deep ketosis. If you’re still hungry after eating, the answer is usually not more protein. It’s more fat. Fat increases satiety, stabilizes energy, and signals your body that it’s safe to access stored fuel instead of defending it. This is what eating fat-forward actually means.

Clinically, after reviewing thousands of labs from keto and carnivore clients, we see consistent patterns 🥩 Total cholesterol at or above 200 mg/dL is common in metabolically healthy, meat-based eaters. 🧠 Cholesterol is the backbone of every steroid hormone and is critical for brain function. 🔥 Triglycerides that are too low can signal undereating or not enough dietary fat. (We prefer triglycerides in the 70 to 90 range as a sign of proper fueling.) 📊 Lab markers should be interpreted in the context of metabolic health, not outdated fear. When you shift to animal-based nutrition, optimal may look different from what you were taught. #nutritionwithjudy #carnivorediet #cholesteroltruth #metabolichealth #ketogenicdiet

How to ACTUALLY reverse Insulin Resistance That frustrating diagnosis of insulin resistance means the old rulebook for your body is obsolete. What once worked to manage your weight no longer applies. The good news? The new playbook for metabolic recovery doesn’t demand superhuman willpower. As Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz) clarifies, reversing insulin resistance hinges on three fundamental shifts. First, track insulin, not calories. The primary lever is your insulin response, not energy units. Carbohydrates trigger the most significant insulin spike, protein a moderate one, and fat the most negligible. In a low-insulin state, dietary fat becomes a powerful metabolic fuel. The directive: embrace fat and restrict carbs to under 20 grams daily. Second, don't eat after dark. The timing of your fat-based meals is critical. Consuming food after sunset carries a heavier metabolic penalty for those with insulin resistance. The golden rule: lengthen the interval between your last bite and bedtime to optimize next-day insulin sensitivity. Third, "measure it if you want to change it." Since you can't easily test insulin directly, Dr. Boz recommends tracking its two most controlled molecules: glucose and ketones. Her innovative "Dr. Boz Ratio" (Glucose ÷ Ketones) serves as a powerful proxy. A lower ratio signals lower insulin, and the ideal time for this measurement is first thing upon waking. The path to reversing insulin resistance is not about deprivation, but about strategic, informed choices.

The golden rule: lengthen the interval between your last bite and bedtime to optimize next-day insulin sensitivity. Third, "measure it if you want to change it." Since you can't easily test insulin directly, Dr. Boz recommends tracking its two most controlled molecules: glucose and ketones. Her innovative "Dr. Boz Ratio" (Glucose ÷ Ketones) serves as a powerful proxy. A lower ratio signals lower insulin, and the ideal time for this measurement is first thing upon waking. The path to reversing insulin resistance is not about deprivation, but about strategic, informed choices.

A lot of people think that if you’re carnivore, you must be anti-plants. I’m not anti-plants. There are millions of people in the world who eat plants and do great on them. Some plants are absolutely fine for some bodies. Right now they’re not fine for mine. That’s why I use carnivore as an elimination protocol. When I started, I had inflammation, digestive issues, likely SIBO, leaky gut, and a system that felt chaotic. I didn’t know what foods were helping and what foods were hurting me. When you’re eating a bunch of different plant foods every week, it’s almost impossible to figure out what’s causing the problem. Carnivore removes the noise. Beef, butter, bacon, eggs, salt, water. That’s it. Once the noise is gone, your body finally has a chance to tell the truth. Over the last 13 months I’ve tested a few plants one at a time like zucchini, cucumber, raspberries, strawberries, and pickles. I paid attention to how I felt after each one. That’s how you collect useful data. Not guesses. Data. A lot of people try keto and don’t feel much different, so they assume eating more meat and cutting carbs “didn’t work.” But many times they’re still eating the same plants that were triggering inflammation in the first place. Not always. But often enough that it matters. If your system is reacting to something you’re eating, keto can lower carbs without actually removing the trigger. Carnivore does. This isn’t for everyone. But if your joints hurt, your digestion is unpredictable, your sleep is off, or your inflammation feels constant, a 90-day carnivore elimination phase can give you answers fast. Remove the variables. Watch what changes. Then add foods back one at a time and see what your body actually tolerates. That’s not restriction. That’s investigation.
