I'm no expert on anything and have only my story to share. I'm 62 now but since my mid 40's I have had "arthritis" and chronic low back pain. I have taken so many pain pills, had cortisone injections and tried everything to no avail. Then at 59 I DROPPED SUGAR, SEED OILS and went on a ketovore diet for WEIGHT LOSS ONLY. I have not had a bit of low back pain or arthritis in the last 3 years now. Off all 7 daily medications and lost 52 pounds but the loss of pain was the best side effect I have ever experienced. Sounds weird, I know but this is my story.

[@HH-gv8mx]

So just fats and protein? You can’t have beets or sweet potatoes or fruits or nuts or any legumes?

[@fazole]

Losing weight will also take the force off the joints and regular exercise stretches ligaments and promotes joint lubrication. So all of the results are holistic

Just cutting out seed oils and gluten is great. People think it's all the meat I eat. I guess if they were not eating meat before. Keto doesn't work long term causes insulin resistance. I'll post the Dr discussing. I've heard it from 3 sources. But doctors refuse to test fasting insulin for some reason they just test fasting glucose which is not a good indicator of diabetes.

90% carnivore here. Started carb cycling with white rice once every 3rd day and noticed my Inflamation in joints kick up a bit. My wife made a few home made sugar cookies with chocolate chips and m & m’s and I ate three of them with a scoop of ice cream and magic shell about a week ago. Needless to say I passed out asleep within an hour, and woke up Within 30 minutes with searing pain in my knuckles and hands. Took a 72 hr fast to knock it down after that. It 100% causes inflammation

[@dennisward43]

I love a curry now and again so use cauliflower rice instead. It is not as tasty as proper rice but has far less carbs.

[@kaakrepwhatever]

I agree. Grains set me off too. Many people can tolerate them. I also think that many people are suffering because something they eat every is causing them pain, something they would not even consider. Years ago I was working at a job where I had to park miles away from the office. Walking was painful. I went on a crash diet to cut way back on carbs for a few days and my foot pain disappeared. Previous such crash diets I had cut back on the wheat products but not eliminated them. I would never have known and probably just assumed it was growing older.

[@steve6375]

Grains are the worst! I don't eat much rice. Try the AIP diet plan. It's not things you eat that make you better, it's all about certain things you don't eat which causes an immune system reaction and inflammation and pain. In my case grains! Approx 10% of people with RA also become celiacs in later life.

[@juliak2591]

The fact that carnivores report an improvement in their arthritis symptoms also suggests that joint pain is associated with metabolic syndrome and hyperinsulinemia

[@btudrus]

@Ashlyn-qg5tt vegans say a lot of BS. It definitely has nothing to do with "weight loss". If than lowering insulin is a big factor...

[@hotnessgaming1396]

My carpal tunnel went away within a week of starting carnivore. It was ineffable

[@matthewtrout1440]

Carnivore is an elimination diet. The fact that it often works when simple low carb does not points to some kind of a food intolerance.

[@ivermec-tin666]

​​@Ashlyn-qg5ttNo. The data clearly indicates that lean muscle mass is a major contributing factor. It's not solely about excess adipose tissue. To remediate chronic inflammation you need to build and maintain lean muscle, reduce adipose tissue, get sufficient restful sleep nightly, and manage stress (cortisol).

[@tinknal6449]

@Ashlyn-qg5tt Except most carnivores experience improvements before the weight ever comes off.

[@puggirl415]

Makes perfect sense. I have a connective tissue disease called Elhers Danlos. It makes one's joints and skin very mobile. Over time your ligaments can become so loose and mobile that your joints can become unstable. The combination of deconditioning from inactivity during the pandemic and aging made me develop all over joint pain very quickly in my early 60's. I went to my primary doctor, had blood tests and PT several times, saw orthopedics, even saw a physiatrist and had imaging. They found injuries like a torn labrum and hip impingement. More PT. The Physical therapist never assessed me for anything but gave me a few exercises. I tried to do them but could not walk more than 4 blocks so ultimately it didn't do a lot. They did not connect my osteo arthritis pain and trigger fingers to inflammation coming from high triglycerides. This even though I was eating a whole foods diet but also high carb. I had no idea at first that I was suffering from metabolic syndrome because I was only slightly overweight at the time (26 BMI) and felt good except for the pain. I thought it was Elhers Danlos causing all of it. Enter Carnivore. Within 3 weeks all the pain except for my injuries was gone. Now I know why. I still get pain from over work, bad posture, and compensation but I can recover quicker and keep trying to walk farther, do more PT exercises while walking and slowly gain strength. I'm also losing weight which will help me put less stress on my joints. How all those doctors could see me and not make the connection baffles me. I'm glad I saved myself. I've got a ways to go but I feel confident I can turn this around on carnivore and with my new found ability to move my body. I'm grateful to shows like this to help me figure out the patterns and fill in the missing pieces of what I need for true health and well being. Thank you!

[@ElizabethMillerTX]

I am 55yo have hEDS too and do best on a primarily animal-based diet, free of seed oils and grains. I was metabolically unwell at a BMI of barely 18, on a good day. You'll be shocked (s/) to hear it was overlooked. I think we might be wobbly in the metabolic department, as well. It just may or may not look a little different than normies.

[@helenahandkart1857]

Good on you, & thank you for sharing you inspiring story!

[@dennisward43]

Doctors, if they can be bothered, or don't have much spare time, often only read the conclusions of studies. But these often conflict with the raw data of studies/surveys as the people conducting them rely on money from sponsors like Big Ag and Big Pharma.

[@sarahb.6475]

I am 52 and have hEDS. I went totally grain free in july 2019 due to all reactions which turned out to be celiac + corn allergy. I mainly eat a grass fed meat diet with a little organic fruit (provides potassium). I do quite well on this diet. Have lots of energy and I can walk quite far. But if I would eat foods I react to (food sensitivities + allergies) my joints would be SO bad! I remember many years ago I had once ate the "wrong" bread and my knees got so bad I could barely get onto a bus. Yet last weekend I walked 11 miles. I definitely have a lot of food sensitivities. I believe its also the junk they spray on the produce too. I have managed to add eggs back to my diet. But I have figured out years ago its certain food that causes joint pain. Or ear ringing. Bananas give me ear ringing. I heard they are ripened with corn based gas. Its nearly impossible to avoid the dumb corn.

How your cholesterol?

[@johnallen7367]

@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hello. Cholesterol is not something to concern me or you. It has been blamed for everything, but the real enemy is insulin resistance, driven by sugar and carbs. The food industry has enormous sway, and everything has been corrupted. The brain is 40% cholesterol. Why do you think there is an explosion in mental health issues. Alzheimers and parkinsons are dramatically increasing, and everyone is put on statin meds to cut cholesterol. The results are obvious. I no longer fear alzheimers or parkinsons. I dont fear cancer. Im med free and my physical and mental health is nothing short of magical. Im never hungry, never tired. I had 50yrs of ibs, gastric reflux, abdominal pain and bloating. It all disappeared in week 2 of my diet. Gone. I have had zero fibre in 11mths. My gut health has become completely normalised and background. Fatty beef, bacon, eggs. My transformation has been somewhat startling to me. Its real, and it works for everyone. Every chronic illness I had from arthritis to cardiovascular disease and t2 diabetes has been reversed. I dropped 75lbs effortlessly. My testosterone and manliness are strikingly obvious. I dont know what to say, except that carnivore is very real. Many women have trouble with this diet as they are traditionally less likely to find a big fatty steak desirable. But, many women, including my wife, have received stunning results. Good luck.

[@johnallen7367]

@@shirleyblaisdell9445 hi. When talking diet, contrary to popular opinion, cholesterol levels are not particularly important. My cholesterol levels went high initially and then stabilised after a while. Im not at all concerned. Cholesterol has been demonised unjustly, it is not the cause of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance is, caused by sugar and carbs. The best indicator of cardiovascular disease is the total calcium score. Mine returned recently at zero, none detected. Unprecedented. Most carnivores return similiar scores. Ive kicked all my meds. Statin meds are awful and pointless. The combination of our 'destroy cholesterol at all costs ' approach and Statin meds is likely the cause of the explosion of mental health issues. I no longer expect to get, or fear, alzheimers or parkinsons. The brain is over 40% cholesterol, and is the body's prime user of it. Starving the brain of cholesterol has obvious effects. On Carnivore I lost 75lbs effortlessly. I cured t2 diabetes in week 3. My inflammation markers are incredibly low. I sleep like a baby. I dont snore. I never get hungry, i never get tired. My mental health is fabulous. Brain fog, depression, anxiety; all just vanish. Jump in, my transformation has been somewhat startling for me. I am constantly surprised as to how good i feel at 63. Im back in the workplace now shaming guys half my age. I go orienteering with my dogs, as an act of pleasure. My testosterone is through the roof. I have regained my life and my power.

I went through some horrible low zinc problems , that turned into weak stomach acid and an allergic reaction to foods containing sulphur, I had to avoid sulphur untill I found out my problem, and sulphur is an necessary element and. I found out that the body uses sulphur to make natural glucosamine , So for some people they might need more zinc, copper and sulphur containing foods like eggs and supplement with Msm to increase the glucosamine level in the body. I've never heard of any one being said to be glucosamine depleted but I believe we will in the future . This may be the cause of disc disaccation or drying out , wich can lead to other severe conditions .

Joint pain is a symptom of hormone decline! Not aging! Frozen shoulder is common in perimenopause and menopause and can be alleviated with hormone replacement! The same is true in men whose T levels have fallen. Hormone replacement helps tremendously! My frozen shoulder completely resolved after getting an estradiol patch! Make sure to get enough though! I needed the max dose. 1mg estradiol to 1.5mg is great for me! Along with Prometrium. My knee and hip pain disappeared after just weeks of being on hormone replacement!

I get severe joint pain from mostly sugar aka fructose. I do drink once a week so take that as you will. Anyway I went vegan last year and became a cripple at 53yrs old. I kept at it but my joints suddenly got so bad I was bed ridden. I thought I was sugar free but after looking at my diet I found up to 100gms to 150gms of sugar aka half fructose.I have to keep repeating this as some health channels, more specifically Delaur has repeatedly shown videos titled sugar and its detriments but shows bread, rice and pasta. Anyway so I noticed the amount of sugar and did a test for a month where all I ate was non sugar aka pure glucose foods such as rice and pasta and oats. I found out that my inflammation is the worst from sugar, MUCH less reduced inflammation when on starch and little inflammation when doing carnivore. I am so sensitive to sugar that I went and purchased a canned soup and ate it one night and woke up in pain. I then tested and tested with zero sugar foods and lo and behold at least for me the fructose is the culprit. Its everywhere from bread to chips to even hot sauce.

@willm So that would mean that carnivore is not for everyone and that not eating animal or by products is fine for others and still achieves the joint pain dilemma.

Have been on the carnivore diet for about 13 months now. It took the 1st 7 months to lose 60 pounds and reverse many metabolic syndrome issues including obesity, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy of hands and feet, frequent urination, sleep disorders including sleep apnea, etc,etc,etc. My osteoarthritis in the 2nd through 5th medial and distal knuckles bilaterally as well as many trigger finger issues have become minimal with more healing expected as I travel further down the carnivore road. What a blessing to be in ketosis and feeling and functioning like a young person again!!!

Great video!! I went on Low carb/ keto and go rid of all joint pain in my hips and headaches!!! I only get headaches now if I drink or eat carbs. Hips are perfect! I do take collagen and glucosamine by tablet which I think helps! I notice if I stop eating eggs my hair growth slows down (don’t know why!) I also take micronutrients, copper, boron, etc and minerals, multivitamins etc, omega 3!!! ❤

Well I must be the exception. Have been keto for 3 years. We did daily weight training, walking. Then Rheumatoid started. My mother, grandmother, and great grandfather (same family line) all had RA. My condition has just continued to decline. I can barely walk. I am now waiting my biologic meds to arrive to try. I limit carbs to 10 net (whole foods only) and 15 total. I initially did get some pain relief with keto, but now RA is just getting more and more aggressive. If you have RA, it is very discouraging to make blanket statements about very low carb/weight loss alleviating RA. It doesn't always happen for everyone. However, I keto on.

[@Matthew-qh3mi]

Try high fat Carnivore ( lion diet ) for 90 days

[@LawlessDarkness]

Yes try carnivore and red meat. The Carnitine will support your mitochondria. If you're doing keto it's possible you're eating more vegetables now? The oxalates might be hurting your joints and causing more hard than good. Stop eating plants. Go carnivore.

[@jeepchickenlegz]

RA is dreadful, so sorry. I have the same hereditary line Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma. I think perhaps 'genetically predisposed' is different to 'food sensitivites'.

I had chronic shoulder pain then knee pain. Both have cleared with eating more protein and lifting heavy. Heavy weights and stretching with muscle contraction and weights. Hitting the muscle groups 2-3 times a week. I eat according to macros, with carbs, protein and fat. I walk 8-10K steps . Sleep 7-8 hrs a night. Sweat, dry brush and castor to detox.

[@jacquelineemmerson5573]

Hmmm 🤔 I wonder if there is a correlation with women who experience more joint pain in perimenopause…as hormones undergo such a change. I can see how this might be a factor in contributing to joint pain if the leptin hormone is also a contributor during this phase in a women’s health.

[@sweetpeace5]

💯I CANNOT STRESS enough that I was in (unbeknownst to me) perimenopause & living in joint pain. I was still managing to workout physically fit/metabolically healthy eater but when I went to get up from sitting I could barely walk my feet hurt so bad, my neck with arthritis was EXTREMELY painful for years. I lived through a lot of varying types pain for a few years until I could no longer sleep without waking up soaking wet a few times a night & found out my estrogen was bottomed out & got on HRT. My life COMPLETELY changed. I could literally run again. My quality of life has done a 180 in so many vital ways. Hormones are VITAL to this picture & the whole picture.

Great video and info. Can not wait to watch the entire video...

[@pointshealthcoaching8474]

When I was in PT skool over 30 years ago, that's what I was taught: "All wear and tear"... which doesn't make sense darn it! Definitely about metabolic dysfunction. What happens is that the degeneration begins from metabolic dysfunction and then the wear- tear kicks in and on top of that, most ppl don't know that they can change diet/ life style so the continue to do whatever began the process in the first place.. so of course it gets worse over time.

[@aejiongco]

No need to listen, here is the breakdown., 1. **Metabolic Origins of Osteoarthritis (0:20)**: It's recognized that osteoarthritis is not just a mechanical degeneration of joints but also has metabolic factors. Metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions like obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, is linked to increased systemic inflammation that can exacerbate osteoarthritis. 2. **Low Carb Diet and Exercise (0:30)**: Diet and exercise are essential in managing osteoarthritis. A low carbohydrate diet can help reduce inflammation, and regular physical activity is known to improve joint function and reduce pain. Both are standard recommendations for managing arthritis symptoms. 3. **Inflammation and Body Weight (3:50)**: There is a well-established link between obesity and osteoarthritis. Adipose (fat) tissue releases inflammatory cytokines that can contribute to joint degradation. 4. **Leptin and Inflammation (5:00)**: Leptin, primarily produced by fat cells, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. High levels of leptin are associated with inflammation and may contribute to the degenerative process in joint tissues. 5. **Glucose, Insulin, and Leptin Levels (7:05)**: Insulin resistance, a common feature of metabolic syndrome, is related to increased leptin levels and can contribute to the systemic inflammatory state affecting the joints. 6. **Compressing Feeding Window (8:45)**: This likely refers to intermittent fasting, which can reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health, potentially benefiting those with osteoarthritis. Overall, the points made in your video snapshot are consistent with emerging understandings of osteoarthritis as a disease influenced by metabolic factors and lifestyle choices. Regular exercise, weight management, and dietary adjustments are part of comprehensive management strategies for osteoarthritis.

I've had RA for 65 years (Stills disease). Over the many years I have learnt that it is better to keep my weight down, eat a small breakfast - e.g. Greek yoghurt and tree nuts, then a large lunch with lots of variety and light tea - nothing after 8pm. Red wine is the best of the alcoholic drinks (one glass of red a day, white wine causes sinus problems within 30 mins!) and I avoid ALL grains (all wheat, oats, barley and rye gluten and any GF products which contain any type of grain, inc beer :-( -I was diagnosed celiac 8 years ago) - grains are a very big cause of joint pain and inflammation the next day. I use only olive, avocado or coconut oil. I tend to avoid acidic fruit/veg like tomatoes, apples, rhubarb. Apples and coffee induce migraines - haven't had a migraine in 40 years bar the odd accidental ingestion (fruit pectin in a sauce contained apple and didn't find out until too late!). So 65 years of my own experimentation and research seems to agree with this video!

[@mikeward9870]

My approach to heal my joints is to use them (without more damage) in order to generate signals for healing, combined with fasting and refeeding cycles (rocking the autophagy, stem cell activation song ;^). Good luck to us all.

[@geertruivanbroekhoven7209]

I ate carnivore for 7 months. The stiffness in my hands got a bit better. The pain became ... worse . I'm jealous of all the people who had good results in such a short time. I didn't. It definately doesn't work for everyone. The last part of carnivore I did lion diet, drinking only water . Couldn't continue with it anymore. Tired of no result and tired of eating beef. Started to have problem with gallbladder too.

[@Chopsyochops]

Have you heard of the book The Glucose Revolution? It’s by a French biochemist. I forgot her name. It’s about how to manage your glucose levels and how they affect the body with inflammation etc. I’m the same as you with carnivore. I also get kidney pain and feel very unwell with liver and gallbladder pain. I do have fatty liver though from a high carb lifestyle previously. I’m trying to do the glucose revolution method with my food now. Low starch high fibre veggies to start my meal, protein second and high starch if needed at the end. It’s supposed to blunt the glucose spike and reduce inflammation and glycation.

@@anonymousperson6462 That actually was rude, I apologize. But that definition paints glucose as some kind of a poison. It likens it to alcohol, which the body will burn first. But our cells do not produce alcohol, it is not essential to life, and the body tries to detox it as quickly as possible. Yet our bodies have cells that can not live without glucose, the liver in fact produces glucose because it is essential, and refills muscle glycogen even in the absence of carbohydrate consumption because it absolutely is a better fuel source than fat in certain circumstances.. It is the primary, in fact the only, source of energy for certain cells. None of that means a carbohydrate free diet can't work, but it's not because the body hates glucose.

I'm 30 and was diagnosed with arthritis last year. I work out daily and do 45min walks and weight training (have for over 10 years). Unfortunately my joint pain still really ebbs and flows but can be so painful so I'll need to try a low carb diet. It'll be tough because I love to cook and will need to modify my meals greatly but I'll definitely give it a try because I don't want to get on pills.

56 years old, active with resistance 10:41 tracing my entire adult life, recently I had a meniscus tear and it could become inflamed from certain activities to the point my whole leg from hip to ankle would throb with searing pain. This inflammation also caused my BP to spike. I dropped carbs and the first day pain dropped from a 10 down to a 3, second day pain was around 1 to 0, stayed that way for a week. Ate a small amount of carbs after a week at one meal and knee pain was back in 30 min after that meal, at maybe a 4. No more carbs since and pain stays around zero, except sometimes after walking 6-8k steps it will return to a 1 or 2 briefly. Not sure what’s going on but carbs set off an inflammation cascade and it’s repeatable. Also BP is normal now 115/72 average morning and night.

There are some studies that show Leptin is implicated in immune associated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Leptin is one of the inflammatory markers they measure to determine disease activity in the Vectra test.

[@Cobbdiesel_Fitness]

Mind blown 🤯

[@ruta8225]

It could be an overgrowth of an endotoxin or bacteria in your gut microbiome is what is causing the arthritic pain. Certain types of carbs could be feeding these bacteria or endotoxin. That is why some feel better on a low carb or carnivore diet. It's not the consumption of carbs per se that is the root cause of the joint problems. Some people thrive of fruits and carbs without joint pain. Use of pesticides, antibiotics, certain seed oils, and other additives upset the gut microbiome which then could cause us to have issues with carbs. Another thing to consider is oxalates found in some plant products can cause crystals in the body leading to joint and muscle pain. But again, developing an oxalate problem usually occurs after taking antibiotics. I would caution people staying on a keto or carnivore diet that they will eventually develop thyroid and muscle cramping problems. Start researching bioenergetic medicine. I am not saying keto and carnivore are not helpful. They are to a lot of people. But you are really just treating the symptom and not getting to the root cause. The goal should be to get your body back to a place where it can tolerate a more balanced diet.
