Diet can improve many autoimmune conditions. Taking it to the next level going carnivore can not only improve but cure autoimmune conditions. Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune. There are many anecdotal stories of people improving diabetes and taking less and less insulin while on carnivore. Some have healed completely. Pretty amazing. What else can it heal?

Many eating regimes can appear cult like. They get followers who stick to it religiously and can't think for themselves. There are rules to follow, lots of money that changes hands, lots of supplements to buy. Maybe even some testing that is deemed necessary. It is hyped up and over exaggerated and no one ever talks about the down side of it. I've never been one of those people who follow the masses. I research things fully, discarding parts of a program I disagree with and which doesn't work for me. I hate rules and being told what to do. I'm an independent thinker and doer. So I will never be a follower religiously of any one way of doing things. I will never tell you there is only one way to heal and one way of doing things. Because that doesn't sit well with me. People heal in so many different ways. Looking at our diet is just one way we can heal. Healing emotionally can have a huge impact on our physical health too. I hope you will use my information as a starting point. My ideas may challenge you, they may change you. But I give you the freedom to heal the way you think is the best.

Do I still recommend plant food? Yes. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, theories on eating etc. If you still want to eat plant food and you want a consult then I will guide you to the plant food that is easier to digest and causes less harm. It's as simple as that. Going straight carnivore from eating plenty of plants can cause a huge amount of problems as you detox from all the plants you have eaten for many years. I have gradually decreased over the last ten years. Even through doing that I have experienced a day or two of feeling a bit under the weather and with gut issues. If you want to safely do this then message me for a consult.

I looked on the calendar this morning and realised its only 2 weeks since I've been eating a carnivore diet. Two weeks and so much has improved. There is a slight decrease in the number on the scales. The tape measure is measuring smaller amounts on waist and hips. But more importantly clothes are fitting better. My bat wing arms are smaller. My legs are smaller. And it's only 2 weeks. I have an autoimmune condition and I'm very cautiously and optimistically saying quietly, but it looks like it's healing nicely just with diet. I feel stronger physically and mentally. I don't work out apart from yoga and walking. I feel more resilient. Yes it's only 2 weeks, but wow. This way of eating is simply amazing.

How Too Many Carbohydrates Can Lead to Arthritis

Arthritis is mostly driven by chronic inflammation, and consistently eating too many carbohydrates especially refined carbs and sugar, can fuel that inflammation.

Here’s how that happens:

1. Excess carbohydrates raise blood sugar.
When you eat a lot of carbs, your blood sugar spikes.

2. The body releases insulin to lower that sugar.
Frequent spikes mean chronically high insulin levels.

3. High insulin promotes inflammation.
Insulin signals the body to create inflammatory compounds.

4. Sugar damages proteins in the body.
Excess glucose attaches to proteins in a process called glycation, creating harmful molecules called AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products).

5. AGEs accumulate in joints.
These damaged proteins stiffen cartilage and connective tissue, which accelerates joint degeneration and pain.

6. Inflammation breaks down cartilage.
Over time, chronic inflammation damages the cartilage that cushions joints, contributing to arthritis and joint stiffness.

Eating more fatty meat can help arthritis mainly by reducing inflammation and providing nutrients that joints need to repair.

Here’s why:

1. Fatty meat helps keep insulin low.
When you eat meat instead of lots of carbohydrates, blood sugar and insulin stay lower. Lower insulin helps reduce inflammation, which is a major cause of arthritis pain.

2. Animal fat is naturally anti-inflammatory.
The fats found in meat (including saturated fat) don’t spike blood sugar and are stable fuels for the body, which helps calm inflammatory processes.

3. Meat provides the building blocks for joints.
Meat contains complete protein, collagen, glycine, and amino acids that the body uses to repair cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue.

4. It supplies key nutrients for joint health.
Fatty meat contains nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K2, zinc, and iron, which support bone strength, tissue repair, and immune balance.

5. Less inflammation allows healing.
When inflammation drops and the body has the nutrients it needs, joints often become less swollen, less painful, and more mobile.

If you have Arthritis, try eating more meat and less carbs. 😁🥩
