[@wendysgarden4283]

Smartest person in carnivore, imo. Good to see her fully healed!

[@JennyMitich]

She's amazing!

[@rosalindolson8688]

Wow! I've been in the carnivore space for well over a year and have never even heard of this woman. How is that even possible??? Thank you so much for having her on!!

[@JennyMitich]

Hello and you're very welcome!

[@ChristineLewis-u7f]

I love her! She is so humble and sweet.

[@JennyMitich]

Agreed!

[@loriweitzel]

I like the way she put it when she said she spent an "embarrassing" amount of money on supplements. Same! 😏

[@JennyMitich]

Same!! I spent so much on supps too LOL

[@vicgeier3482]

Sssooo many supps!

[@barb0138]

Me 2

[@krisward7425]

Wow Jenny and Amber this was great! I fixed a steak with a side of shrimp while listening. Thank you 💞

[@JennyMitich]

Hello and thank you so much!

[@Hinz2005]

I’m not a carnivore, but I have listened to Amber since 2017. Her answers rarely change and if they do, it’s a minor shift based on updated information or experience. She is so calm and peaceful. She makes me want to return to that world!

[@JennyMitich]

Agreed! She is amazing :)

[@JeffC26131]

Love Amber! She belongs in the carnivore hall of fame! So smart and great info! 👍🏻

[@JennyMitich]

She is amazing! I was so excited to talk to her :)

[@kathleenlamb7020]

Maybe interview Dr. Elizabeth Bright. She is a carnivore and thyroid specialist. She does recommend iodine for everyone.

[@JennyMitich]

Dr. Bright is amazing! I would love to interview her

[@evastavrou4928]

Yes Magnesium also help me ,I used is 15 days and crumps ran away for long 2 months - I’m hoping for ever - just to see now…

[@SarahPerine]

I’ve been on a health journey for a few years now… well it’s a long story like everyone’s… but the short of it is that I used Paleomedicina and the PKD diet for an aggressive cancer and with monthly measurement, the tumor did not grow for 8 months!! I got a lumpectomy and have been trying to find a more long term sustainable PKD-strong diet since then. Still on a health journey!! But keto and carnivore have been a huge part for me. During my journey, I found Amber O’Hearn and she became and has stayed for more than a year now… my very favorite carnivore/zero carb/Keto AF person!! Her Lipivore presentation is one of my favorites. She’s just so helpful and crazy smart. Thank you so much for the interview 🙌🏽💚🤩

[@JennyMitich]

She is crazy smart for sure! I love her. And thank you for sharing your story :)

[@AwakeninChrist]

Amber!!! One of my favorite carnivores of all time!! So glad she got over salmonella! Thanks for the interview🎉

[@JennyMitich]

She's great!

[@MeatingWellness]

What a great guest, thanks Jenny!

[@JennyMitich]

Thank you so much! Amber is awesome :)

[@nancyj621]

Ooh yay! A new interview with Amber. Her blog on starting carnivore was the one I used to start carnivore 9 years ago!

[@JennyMitich]

Very nice! I love Amber :)

[@ogeoge6000]

Love Amber, thank you both.

[@JennyMitich]

Thank you so much!

[@murdermittensnyc]

I am so glad to see her healthy again! Bravo interview.

[@JennyMitich]

Same! She is amazing :)

[@kefirheals7383]

Somewhere in the 28 mark - what she said is what happened to me. I was whole food plant-based 7.5 years. I slowly depleted my minerals and vitamins. It wasn't full-on noticeable until towards the end of 7 years. Then it was very obvious. Poor skin, hair, nails, vision, and energy. My vision was so bad I felt like I had sand in my eyes 24/7. My fingernails were so bad, they split, and actually peeled in half - I could pull of the top layer; they'd crack so bad I had to clip them right down to the tip of my fingers.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello and thank you for sharing your story! Yes, it takes a long time for nutrient deficiencies to show up on plant-based diets, but once they do, they are debilitating.

[@LoriP123]

@@JennyMitich Yes, because it takes so long for the deficiencies to show , people still advocate for plant-based diets. My cousin who has been vegetarian for approximately 3 decades (30 years!) is now riddled with cancer 😢 and doctors still say that diet has nothing to do with it!

[@JennyMitich]

@@LoriP123 exactly!

[@penelope6619]

Eight pregnancies here the last pregnancy was a homebirth and completely carnivore, and even though I didn’t feel like eating meat, I push through eat the meat and it kept the sickness away. I personally found that snacking on crackers or all of the other things people tell you to keep on hand to keep the sickness away, just perpetuated a cycle of feeling nauseous And gross had a really healthy baby and my labor was only two hours long was amazing

[@JennyMitich]

Wonderful!

[@nancyperrine]

After 3 yrs on carnivore,. I developed a high pulse rate and irregular heartbeat. I finally figured out that I was low in potassium.( I had stopped taking it when I began carnivore due to hearing that meat was all you needed) After I started taking it again, everything went back to normal.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! I am glad you figured it out :)

[@creinicke1000]

What about using "no-salt".. isn't that potassium?

[@JennyMitich]

@@creinicke1000 never heard of it

[@cprivera1]

Hi, are you taking potassium citrate?? I'm 10 months carnivore and I had blood results show I'm low in potassium. I'm thinking of trying potassium citrate

[@JennyMitich]

@@cprivera1 I take potassium gluconate 👍🏻

[@David.M.]

Thanks great interview

[@JennyMitich]

Thank you so much!

[@pabeader1941]

Switching from super bad SAD to Carnivore brought on weeks of explosive diarrhea. I always worn people just in case. For sure you need to make sure you do it slowly and be ready to respond.

[@JennyMitich]

Agreed! If you are on SAD, I always recommend easing into Carnivore.

[@diane2260]

Great interview 👏

[@JennyMitich]

Thank you so much!

[@clairramsdale8383]

I was just starting out on Carnivore in 2019, and the Boulder Carnivore Conference helped me. Is there going to be another any time soon? ❤

[@JennyMitich]

That's awesome! I dont think there are any plans for another any time soon, but you should check out the Collaborative Science Conference in Feb 2025 in Vegas. Amber will be there along with a bunch of other big names in the Carnivore world :)

[@AdrianKGledhill]

Amber, you are absolutely gorgeous and a total inspiration.❤❤❤❤

[@JennyMitich]

Agreed!

[@ericlehmann7409]

Thanks!

[@JennyMitich]

Thank you so much!

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

I was looking forward to this interview but I was was thinking of someone else. I guess I Should have known it wasn't her. But another good interview would be Michele Hurn Registered Dietitian she has an awesome story that lead her to carnivore. ❤❤ I am glad I caught Amber's interview and story to Carnivore.

[@JennyMitich]

True! I saw Michele speak at the Collaborative Science Conference in March, she's awesome!

[@surban2005]

Learned a lot about long term events of anti anxiety meds. It helps to hear from long timer low carb people.

[@JennyMitich]

Yea, its great to hear their stories!

[@pabeader1941]

I think that 20 years on carnivore and still healthy is good enough for proof. There are so many people that are at 20 years and beyond, that it's a non-concern.

[@JennyMitich]

Agreed!

[@josergz9004]

Love Amber! Great interview!

[@JennyMitich]

Same, thank you so much!

[@SimonneBerriman]

I need salt... I'm wondering what Amber means when she said that if you need it, it needs to be investigated (words to that effect)

[@JennyMitich]

I think she meant you need to figure out why you need salt

[@ninawildr4207]

Love her❤❤❤

[@JennyMitich]

Same! She is great :)

[@annebeck2208]

Even with Carnivore, I was issues and found some tests are better than others. Vitamin D is a problem in Northern climates. Vitamin D tests must be done using the LC/MS technique, Ulta labs has one that you can get most places, no Rx. The other Vitamin D tests are NOT accurate. If you are having fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue or other signs of B12 defecency because your body isn't working right yet: the urine B12 test is the most accurate.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello and thank you for the tips! Methylmalonic acid is another accurate test for B12 deficiency.

[@igo_dood]

The cravings for carbohydrates seems to be coming up a lot across different pregnant carnivore people on YT, I wonder if there is just a need for it at the beginning of pregnancy, or if it is just bringing back old cravings?

[@JennyMitich]

That is a really good question that I do not know the answer to

[@kathrynsieloff7811]

I have liver about once a month but only thirty three grams. That's enough 🎉

[@JennyMitich]

Nice!

[@laura44135]

I used to LOVE liver. It was such a treat! I bought a whole bunch when I went carnivore. As I've been eating more meat, I want liver less and it doesn't taste as good. Or ill have it one day and then refuse to eat the leftovers. Lol

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! Yea, I think that is your body's way of saying it doesn't need anymore liver :)

[@AmandaWernick]

Doesn't adding salt help with dehydration, especially when you're not eating carbs?

[@JennyMitich]

It can! But a lot of old school Carnivores didnt use salt at all. I personally use a lot of salt.

[@AmandaWernick]

@@JennyMitich thank you for responding! I personally felt better when adding a "mineral salt" like Redmonds. The nausea seems to go away. Love your channel!

[@JennyMitich]

@@AmandaWernick yea, I love Celtic sea salt, it's so good! And thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my videos :)

[@Cher1924]

I had horrible meat aversion until the last trimester.

[@JennyMitich]

It happens to a lot of us! Mine was bad too

[@Beachheals]

Love Amber so much💗

[@JennyMitich]

Same! She is amazing :)

[@virginiaolson1368]

I've been using it for several months. I love their meat. The the beacon is nitrite and sugar free. It is smoked in wood. Darn can't think I've the name of the wood. I keep the grease in a mason jar. I use the beacon grease for eggs . Well just about everything. Oh, it's smoked in apple wood. When cooking it the smell fills my home.

[@JennyMitich]

Nice! Sounds delicious :)

[@gingersperry9116]

what about sea kelp tabs?

[@JennyMitich]

Sure! Great for iodine :)

[@Solo-_-..]

👍🏿 thank you Jenny

[@JennyMitich]

😀😀😀

[@Hinz2005]

Molecular iodine reversed my fibrocystic breast condition.

[@JennyMitich]

Nice! Yea, Dr. Brownstein talks about that in his iodine book.

[@kathleenlamb7020]

Amber mentioned OG Carnivore. What does the OG mean?

[@JennyMitich]

OG means "original gangster." It is a slang term for "old school" or "long-term"

[@theskyehiker]

Thanks for asking that question. I’ve been wondering myself. It’s clear I’m out of the pop culture loop🤣

[@Jay-h9d9h]

It’s a term that was started in the 1970s in gang culture. It was brought to the mainstream be the Original gangster Crips.

[@myusernamesthislll4620]

Does she have any advice for woman 47 and older and menopause.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! I will have to ask her next time I have her on. But I would recommend checking out Dr. Elizabeth Bright, she has an entire book on menopause and high fat diets. The Carnivore Doctor is also a great resource on that topic :)

[@kefirheals7383]

What does the "OG" stand for in OG Carnivore? Anyone?

[@JennyMitich]

OG means "original gangster." It is a slang term for "old school" or "long-term"

[@kefirheals7383]

@@JennyMitich Oh, how funny. Thanks.

[@jewelsbug927]

I Don’t trust RDA’s

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

What does "OG" stand for?

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! It means "original gangster" and it is a slang term for "old school" or "long-term"

[@cn-123]

I eat a tablespoon of liver pate home made every day. Not much impact.

[@JennyMitich]

Nice!

[@kathrynsieloff7811]

If a person has Hashimoto's do more research, taking iodine.It's not recommended

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! I disagree. Check out Dr. Brownstein's work

[@jewelsbug927]

What is “OG”?

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! It stands for Original Gangster, it means "old school" or "one of the first"
