You give me hope as I read this today. Thanks for sharing your story as I'm on a similar path. Diagnosed with RA since 2014, Type 2 diabetes followed within months on prednisone. Since then, I've lived with constant pain, swollen joints, hypertension, tachycardia, kidney cysts, thyroid nodules, severe periodontitis with bone and tooth loss and most recently, NAFLD. Fibroscan scheduled next month. So true we must change our lifestyle and become more focused on healing and hope.

After my stint in the hospital I asked my doctor about the ketogenic diet and she shot that down in a heartbeat. She said to eat less meat and more vegetables and fruits. I knew I couldn't trust her about my health.

[@omnimetric84]

In 2020, at 57 and 215 lbs, I went keto (later carnivore), the weight (50 lbs) just kept melting off, even past my goal, down to 165. I decided that was too light, so I started lifting more heavily and supplementing protein. It took a year+ but I put 5 lbs of muscle back on. My digital scale says I’m at 14% body fat. I look and feel decades younger. Now at 62: zero joint pain, zero pharma, zero gut issues, zero hypertension, as well as some other benefits.

[@GoneCarnivore]

Ha! I'm 48 and I was 215 down to 167 now. I worked out and lifted weights when I was 215. I could bench press 225 pounds for 18 consecutive reps when I weighed 215 and had a bench max of 345. Currently at 167 I can do 225 for a whopping 2 consecutive reps with a bench max of 245. I'm healing now is the difference. I'm trying to get to that low bodyfat percentage.

[@seanodriscoll8153]

I started body building in my 30s and walking 15 to 20 miles every four to five days now I’m 58 and never regretted it, but one mistake people make they can over do it working out to much your body needs to relax properly before you exercise again, walking is the best exercise before you do any workout to build muscle properly, running is ok but it does put a strain on your heart more than walking and you will have less energy to do any kind of exercise like body building, my advice to anyone who wants to build muscle don’t over do it your body needs to recover first before you even think about exercising again give yourself at least two or three days rest believe me the results is so much better. ❤👍

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Dr O’Mara has got me back into short jogs in addition to my walks. Working up to eventually replace jogging with sprints. I’m in my mid 70’s. Easy does it.

[@peterazlac1739]

I am 84 and a physiologist. To build muscle you need the correct intake of essential amino acids and especially leucine with a limit of 8 g per dose and a max of 20 g per day. The only balanced sources are of animal origin, whey and casein from milk and red meat. Vegetable sources are devoid in lysine and need supplementing and compensating by eating more will potentially damage the liver. Unless you are a high performance athlete or a roustabout on an oil rig you do not need more high quality protein than provided by 12% of your energy intake. This is 65 g/day for males and 45 g/d for females. Using values like 0.8 g to 1.2 g per kilogram body mass is misleading because it is lean body mass or gross mass minus fat mass. These values range from 60% to 80% for normal individuals to 80 -90 for elite athletes and manual workers. This was established via closed circuit calorimetry way back in the 1950 and 60 when I took my doctorate and was involved in this research. On exercise the most important factor is a strong core which you can achieve by breathing and combined with an exercise like Tai Chi, Yoga or Pilates and aerobic exercise by walking on inclines either in the gym or outdoors. I live on an island where I have to walk down 600 feet to the local store and the same back with a loaded backpack. HIIT exercises are not to be recommended for the over 70s unless you have been doing them before though the use of an exercise bike with intermittent sprints and rest is good.

[@happydays1336]

I'm 71 and just started Tai Chi because I wanted to have better balance. I love doing it. I've always hated exercising so I'm happy I've found something I like. I've also been walking and have almost gotten to 2 miles. I hope to go 3 miles. There's a tiny 90+ year old woman in my Tai Chi class who can bend over and put the palms of her hands flat on the floor. She also can grasp her ankles. I hope after a while I can do this, too. I'm taking what Dr. Berry has said pretty seriously but after doing Atkins for 3+ years I refuse to go as strict re: meat that I did on it. I'm eating eggs again, but after eating around 3,000 eggs in 3 years I got thoroughly sick of them. Ditto meat. I think God made all of these beautiful fruits, vegetables and grains so I refuse to quit eating them, but will eat less. When these men have been Carnivore for another 25 years we'll see what the real consequences of it are. They might not be as healthy as they think they will be.

[@theometzger2348]

I started carnivore and progressively. I felt so much better. I felt so much better that I was doing so much more hard labor than I was capable of doing before. The problem is I worked so hard because I felt so good that I ended up creating shoulder inflammation because my body hadn’t quite adjusted to my newfound energy and determination. I went to Mercy Hospital in St. Louis to a walk-in orthopedic clinic for them to look at the inflammation in my shoulder. I had an appointment scheduled. I sat there for 30 minutes after checking in and a young man with a clipboard, not a doctor, came out and refused me treatment. They said my injury was not orthopedic even though I had not been examined. They sent me down to the third floor of the hospital to the spine and neck center. But then after 10 minutes, other people started coming down there. I guess the doctors didn’t want to see patients today, so they were pushing them off to other offices. None of us get treated that day because no one was in that office. The condition of healthcare today in our modern society is a joke. Thank God for doctors like you.

[@eddysgaming9868]

I share your disappointment with our medical system. Partly it's because it has to care for so many more indigent patients than ever before.

[@theometzger2348]

Well, most middle-class people are indigent I guess because they can’t afford healthcare. The poor people don’t have a shot. Nothing is done in the name of humanity anymore. It’s all corporate greed with a splash of pure selfishness and laziness.

Do yourself a favor and get younger as you get older and join both gentlemen’s KZbin channels as a lifelong subscriber.

You guys are the type of private practice physicians I want to be working with ❤ It’s so hard helping doctors scale their practices when I’m actually into natural, functional, healing

[@JT-cv1yo]

Yep, I understand this scenario. I essentially did the same thing. Was told by a practice I had been going to for 20 years to schedule a new patient appointment for having been absent for 2 years. So that's big so called Heath systems. They try to penalize you in some way for not being a "regular". Here I thought it was great & courteous of me to not go if I wasn't ill to accommodate patients who were in need of appointments. So, yeah, wasn't going to accept their new patient policy when they had been seeing me for 20 years. So yeah, I fired them. Sad,😢 really. Non compliant. Better for it. I've never felt better! I've lost more weight & gotten healthier almost more than I've ever been since then. It's got to go back to all private practice not huge health systems owning these doctors!! That's the only way that things will get better.

[@goyanz76]

From my experience, Foot and tendon strengthening exercises and stretching the calves if you sprint are important as we age to help stop getting plantar fasciitis. I got it from having really tight calves and sprinting up a steep hill which caused me to sprint on my toes, rather than the forefoot. Eating a carnivore diet and just Sprinting, I put on 10kgs mainly muscle in my legs in just 7 months, zero weights.

[@MaryTurino]

[@margomoore4527]

I’m a just-turned-74 yo woman. I started getting in better shape around age 68 with yoga and pilates, started with weights at 70, and made the mistake of giving up cardio as I did. In ‘23, I had pneumonia in June and Covid in December (2exact weeks-short Covid!) Afterwards I thought I should take walks, and found to my horror that I could only walk 1/3 mile without being stopped by back pain and shortness of breath. Around that time I watched one of Dr Sean’ videos about sprinting to get rid of belly fat (my nemesis). So I took up treadmill again, but it is a slow process. I have worked up to doing 1 mile in just under 25 minutes. Anything above 3 mph I have to start jogging. Real sprinting is still in the future. I just have to not give up. Right now I don’t want to spend more than 25 minutes, so I am just slowly upping my pace. I tried a 1-degree incline and it killed my back. I assume I will overcome this eventually. My plan is “never give up, never give in.”

Find a wellness based chiropractor who does long term to make real changes in your spine. People like you respond the best to their care.

[@loriegosnell9355]

I would never try another chiropractor again. Did absolutely nothing but cost money and inconvenience. Teeter table a few minutes per day, Burst strength exercises, swimming in a spring upriver is my new thing because Blue springs state park is 35 minutes away and I consider it an intensified cold plunge😅 57 and have spinal disc Degeneration , and scoliosis from the time I was a kid. Back pain is the worst. Carnivore is only thing that has helped inflammation at all.

[@CatholicHousewife2017]

My pain goes away when I eat Meat, Eggs, & Butter only consistently. Hopefully, your pain will soon disappear, too.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Hope your back pain leaves you. That’s tough.

[@dianadeejarvis7074]

There are physical therapists on KZbin with exercises to get rid of back pain (strengthens specific targeted muscles mostly). You might want to give them a try because walking by itself probably won't fix back issues.

I’ve been following Dr. O’Mara sprinting advice for six months and it has been a game changer. At 67, a day doesn’t go by where someone doesn’t remark how remarkably fit I am.

Thanks Dr. Berry! After 1-1.5 years of watching videos (yours in particular) I started my carnivore diet January 1st 2024. It is now June 23, 2024 and I have lost 56 pounds. Around the 2nd week in April I had a great deal of sagging skin so I rejoined my local gym and have gone every other day for resistance training and the other days I walk/sprint. Sunday is my rest day. Jordan Peterson and his daughter were what made up my mind. In February I started fasting every week on Saturday or Sunday and that has really accelerated my weight loss. Once again thank you.

It was interesting how my posture has changed after carnivore. I was always told to stand up straight my whole life, not knowing what they were talking about, I was standing up straight. Now I know 😂

Part of that may be psychological. We feel happier and more confident on carnivore. Also, losing weight around one’s waist helps in standing straight.

All right before starting PT had asked for, to improve lower body & core strength! It has taken weeks for very slight improvement, worse with flexion, sustained flexion. Got knee compression strap last Wed - like a miracle Thurs am & could move, work in my garden area in am! Took strap off & rested, could hardly move that afternoon! Spent Thurs pm, Fri, Sat resting in bed & icing my knees & finally improved, into Sunday. Frustrating! No pain sitting or laying down, hursts now around patella. Has dragged on long enough calling dr. In am. SO femrustrating when trying to get stronger, to avoid what happened to my 94 year old Mom & 98 yesr old dad. SO disappointed how has slowed me down. Usually only pain around knee cap, not inside knee sigh. Wish I knew what was really wrong & what to do to fix it. Just ordered lbs of grass raised mest earlier & arrived today Going carnivore tomorrow!! 5'6" & 254, HTN & DM2. Aches & pains, chiro needed as bones going out of alignment often, especially S/I's & tailbone. Hands & gingers started suddenly swelling & painful x1.5 years, arrgghh! I used to be strong.
