You are so fortunate to have had your labs done and reviewed by Dr. Solt. I would love to have her as my ND, particularly as she is carnivore based. Very informative conversation and you should be so pleased with your results and the hard work you've put into your diet these past years. I wish I knew at your age, what I know now. I can relate to the fight/flight too, as I've experienced this for most of my own life, and know that most likely holds me back in areas, but always persevering and moving forward as I learn and apply for my own well being. Love your content Lillie.

[@Wings_nut]

Love listening to Dr Solt. She's totally hormone smart. Thanks for having her on. :-)👍

[@LillieKane]

Yahooo! Thanks!

Happy Belated birthday Lillie. I love your channel.

[@Jamison77]

Great video! This was very well edited. I appreciate all the information. It helps me thinks about things with my diet.

[@vonmarie1389]

Lillie, thank you for sharing your results ❤ Have a great day! 😊

[@MadPick]

That was fascinating! Thank you for sharing with us, Lillie!

[@karenb.2012]

Lillie, Thank you so much for sharing this and having your dr on to go over in detail your blood work. One of my favorite videos! I may need to find another dr in my area. The dr’s I have seen are so hung up on my LDL even when my HDL is ranging 70-99 and triglycerides ranges 45-71. This was so refreshing to see a dr that is up to date with the new info out on cholesterol she is not using out dated science/old studies.

[@krisfarrugia6490]

LDL-C is a great marker, but definitely not that the best. Non-HDL-C or apob tests are a much clearer marker of heart disease.

[@quickcube2834]

There is no new info on Cholesterol, the Scientific evidence is overwehlmingly proofing that its one factor causily responsible for arteriosclerosis, the biochemical process is well known and different substances which work by inhibiting this exact process reducing the risk of cvd‘s. For Information is Arteriosklerose caused by oxidative stress + cholesterol + damaged blood vessels + macrophages + calcium. And it dont matter if its LDL or HDL cholesterol both when oxidized caus arteriosklerose, but the difference is that HDL is created out of LDL and thefore has a longer lifespan and so a higher Chance of being oxidized and so is a marker for oxidized cholesterol. I for example have 54 LDL Cholesterol and 46 HDL Cholesterol that means that 8 cholesterol is Potentially oxidized, while lillies LDL is by 125 and HDL by 75 so that 50 Cholesterol is Potentially oxidized. And that is no wonder cause the more total cholesterol you have the less antioxidans you have per unit of cholesterol to protect it from oxidize stress and so you get an Exponentiell increase in oxidized cholesterol.

[@debbieklose8776]

Excellent information! This is great to have this available as I move forward in my health to have these resources ❤

[@meatvenus]

So informative! Thanks again Lillie girl! ❤

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Great video. Absolutely love your openness to eating. Wish more Carnivore and Keto people would be open to changes other than more and more restrictions. I was very surprised your doctor didn't explain to you that your Calcium, magnesium and potassium levels in the blood can be "perfect" but your body deficient. Many get blood work, doctor says "your electrolytes are fine" yet they still suffer from muscle cramps. This is a critical point many carnivore overlook. For example the body will pull calcium from the bones to ensure levels in the blood are sufficient. Might feel perfect, not have any issue for 15 yrs, then the person gets the bad news. YES and double YES, the body needs some Periodization in the eating and nutrition. Healing phase, building back phase, health and growth phase and then a cyclical periodization phase till the end.

[@isaacfernandez637]

This was fun and informative, As a fellow hyper carnivore I compared all the values that I have access to, they were so close to yours, except for a couple of outliers like: total protein 7.2g/dL, ferritin is even higher than yours at 167.28 ng/ml which I imagine has more to do with male/female differences. Thank you Lilly for sharing something pretty personal with us that we can use as a reference point to help us find our optimal diet. P.S. Dandruff is something I also struggle with, I whish I knew my copper and selenium lvls, I'm just going to increase foods with those and see if that does the trick.

[@dess262]

Lillie, I would love for you to make a video about periods on carnivore! I'm just scrolling through the comments section, and I saw you mentioned that increasing carbs intake leads to more painful periods. I have the same experience, and sometimes I think about all the women out there struggling with painful periods and how carnivore might actually help them. It would be super interesting to hear about your experience. Thanks for the great content!

[@LillieKane]

Thanks for the suggestion! I totally agree, there are so many women suffering with severe cramping and they think it's normal. "Take midol and it will go away". Thanks again for the idea. Have a lovely day!

[@stefaniesmith7117]

I was a vegan for three years. My digestion may not have loved it, but my periods were SO much easier, barely any cramps or fatigue. I was even able to stop taking medication for the awful hormonal acne I had. I had already removed dairy from my diet years before that, it was only when I detoxed from Meat that those changes happened. I reintroduced meat again and I can be okay with it as long as it’s not too much. Everyone is different, just know that having “carbs” does not equate to processed foods, and also does not guarantee bad periods.

[@sophiapetros7602]

@@stefaniesmith7117yeah, I’ve watched a lot of raw vegans say that their periods got better, lighter, less days, no pain by eating raw vegan. I’ve studied veganism and carnivore. I just started a meat and fruit diet. We’ll see how it goes.

[@Divinefapper]

@@stefaniesmith7117 Highly suggest against going vegan as a woman for positive health effects. Of course you will see positive changes at first if you switch out of a traditional western diet, but the negative health effects will slowly but surely creep up. It usually takes 5 to 7 years for your B vitamin stores to run out - even when you are supplementing due to poor absorption. It took 3 years for my girlfriend to develop extreme menstruation pain, which was diagnosed as endometriosis (no cysts were found in ultra). Got pain meds, but it was finally ALMOST fixed by adding large amounts of saturated fat into the diet, which a traditional vegan diet will lack severely. The only source is coconut fat, so that is what we added, and it almost completely fixed the issue. She is now 8 years completely vegan, but is going to get vegan blood work done because of the issues she is having - and mind you, she is the healthies vegan I know, because I’m like her personal nutritionist making sure she eats necessary things for necessary micronutrients, like natto for K2. A vegan diet will always lack essential micronutrients, such as vitamin A, B6, B12, D, F, K2 and CLA + carnitine, carnosine, cholesterol, CoQ10, creatin, heme-iron and saturated fat as I mentioned before and taurine. Its either impossible or almost impossible to get these on a vegan diet, so you will slowly but surely become deficient. It might feel good at first, but then its a nice spiral down. Plus, the amount of farting on a vegan diet is… Holy shit. I myself am on carnivore heavy ketogenic diet due to former health issues which are now fixed. An odd combo for sure, but I was a traditional omnivore before meeting my vegan girlfriend. She has no problem with my eating except ethical reasons, but she is well read on the topic and due to my influence, so she knows her diet isnt probably sustainable long term. Ive slowly but surely warmed her up to the idea of introducing eggs into her diet to fix further health issues. And no, she isnt some lazy slob - Ive been coaching her for 3,8 years, and shes fucking huge. But still, exercise cant fix nutritional deficiencies.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@@stefaniesmith7117 I did a whole food plant based, high nutrient diet for years, and I still had mild cramps with my cycles. It wasn't until I did an almost 90 day juice fast that the cramps went away, but they did come back when I started eating again. I'm 6 months into carnivore, and sadly, I still have mild cramping, but, my head used to get horribly inflammed around my cycle, and that has gotten much better! The only time since my early 20s that I haven't had cramps was when I spent time in Europe for a couple of months! I was never able to figure out why. I took a lot of baths with magnesium salt while there, but I tried that when I got back to no avail. :/ I'm about to add in fruit & honey to my carnivore diet, so if anyone wants to reply to me in a few months, I can let you know if anything has changed. It's early March 6, 2024 currently. Best of luck to all of you! 💖

Yeah, my Dr. would have just said, "You have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" and look no further than that. I know my cortisol is high, what is said? "Reduce stress" is always the answer. Uhhh, yeah, no shit. If it were as simple as "reduce stress", no one would have stress. 🤦‍♂

[@smurfhits5688]

This doctor get payed to say what you want to hear. "Your cholesterol levels are quote on quote high but we know that this doesn't have any bearing of your cardiac health" I mean this carnivore is Luke a cult that blindly follow each other. She's 40% over the reference value I LDL (aka bad cholesterol) and this doctor trying to smoth things out by saying her by saying "well your total cholesterol (aka your good+bad cholesterol) is only 15% (yellow box) over the limit so only a minor moderate risk of heart disease" compared to the high risk (red box)

[@Swearengen1980]

@@smurfhits5688 That's really not what she said. Science has proven that LDL doesn't mean anything. It's the particle size of the LDL that matters. Go back and look at ApoB and LDL-P, those are the numbers that matter. You're right that the Carnivore community is a cult and blindly follows without doing research beyond their KZbin grifters, but you're wrong on the rest.

Lillie, not to be fear mongering, but my daughter had a pituitary adenoma, and that's how it declared itself. Her prolactin levels were crazy high. Much higher than yours, but I just wanted to share the information. Our daughter's tumour was surgically removed. They said that a fair amount of people have growths on their pituitary glands and they go undiagnosed. (20% of the population?). Anyways, again, not trying to freak you out, but if that prolactin level remains high, or rises even further, consider an MRI.

[@LillieKane]

Thank you for the information! I totally understand not wanting to freak someone out but also feeling it’s important information for someone to know so they can do more research. I appreciate it! Hope you have a wonderful week 🥰

[@melissal3383]

[@barbarapaz3722]

I was waiting for you to make a video like this. Blood results is something that most people talk about in carni community. I see you also had a lower wbc (leukocytes). The same thing happened to me as well after 3 months of carnivore. However, mine were much lower. And I also had very low platelets. My dr. made me see a hematologist. I started eating “normal” food and my blood was fine just 2 weeks after. Oddly enough right before those bad blood results I got severe headaches like I never had in my life. And the backs of my legs were full of bruises (I didn’t injure myself in any way) like someone took a pole and beat the shizz out of the backs of my legs. I also got severe pain in my wrists so hard I couldn’t hold a glass and the backs of my knees got swollen. Mind you I had NEVER had any of those symptoms in my life before. I was very healthy. I’m 43 yo female with no other health conditions. And other than that I felt amazing on carnivore. Like I’ve never felt this good. My sleep improved, no more brain fog. Lots of energy and focus. And then this sh!t happened so I stopped. I’m making a pause during summer and then I’ll try carnivore again and monitor if this happens again. In a couple of carni groups I saw a few people reporting the same thing. Blood was fine before they started carnivore and their platelets and wbc got alarmingly low. They incorporated carbs and fruits and veggies and everything normalized. Funny enough my cholesterol and everything else most people worry about were fine. Go figure. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@smooth_pursuit]

Hello… your comment about bruising on the backs of your legs reminded me of a video I watched recently. It’s on a channel called Violin MD and it’s called “one simple dietary mistake sent her to the emergency department: medical mystery case solved!” The woman in the video had mysterious bruising all over the backs of her legs, pain & swelling in the legs, a rash, joint pains, unusual blood work. It turned out to be scurvy! I know it’s not supposed to be a problem on carnivore, but maybe for some people it is. Maybe something like starting the day with a glass of lemon water could make a difference if you try again? I would be so interested if you watched the video and reported back if it seemed to fit your case :)

[@barbarapaz3722]

@@smooth_pursuit thanks for this message. Actually I investigated myself and found the same thing…possible scurvy. HOWEVER, that was the only thing I never stopped doing during my 90 days carnivore. Every day I’d have a glass of water with squeezed about half a lemon first thing in the morning 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s something I’ve been doing for 20 years. So I excluded scurvy in the end. I didn’t have other symptoms like rash and some others.

I like your channel!!! I’m a bodybuilder but thinking of going carnivore as more of a lifestyle than actually gaining muscle. I don’t compete anymore.

[@multitablez7825]

Havent watched all of it yet, but this Dr seems very good . She knows about how insulin can be healthy and needed. Normally doctors go one way or the other. but i think that is a major problem on the carnivore diet, is being able to spike insulin, and getting glycine in the liver, and glycogen in the muscles... and the electrolyte problem with carnivore alone too... last but not least, I think land animal carnivore lack bio copper, too.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

Something worth knowing is how the lab that you used came up with the reference ranges that they listed on the results! It may surprise you to know that if you get those same tests done at different labs you will likely see different reference ranges listed! Many labs use averages of results across a population of patients that they have tested, rather than optimal ranges for healthy people! If those labs have an inordinate percentage of unhealthy patients (as most labs do because it is more likely that people that are sick will get orders for lab work) then the reference ranges will be skewed to levels that are not necessarily for the better!

[@jzoberek]

Very true! My employer is into wellness, so all employees have the opportunity to have a complete blood chemistry done every year; a couple years ago, we changed analysis labs, and it was amazing to see what the change in reference ranges was. I watched a video of Dr. Eckberg's earlier this year that featured reference ranges, and I had to laugh at the truth he pointed out about one component (can't remember which) from the lab that had the beginning range of zero---he said something like, "I don't know why they're using zero. If you were at zero, you'd be dead." A good case of "not necessarily for the better!" as you pointed out.

[@shellderp]

I've seen ferritin level ranges saying 10-300 is normal, I don't know why they would call 152 high. Better to be on the higher side, most women have low iron.

Problem with serum electrolytes is that they will almost always be in normal ranges. Serum levels are highly regulated by built in mechanisms to supply them to brain, heart and other organs as well as maintining proper serum pH to prevent acidosis. Most minerals are in cells and bones. So if deficient there is no way to know but go off symptoms and take extra

One other thought for what it's worth. I listened to Judy Cho going over her blood work. She made the point that she doesn't like to see triglycerides much below 75. Much lower than this she interprets as an indication of undereating - or undereating energy relative to protein. You might want to check out her vid.

[@marklauts]

Good, informative video. Based on that food pyramid of nutrition this seems to be more of a Keto diet as opposed to a hyper carnivore diet though.

[@LillieKane]

Thanks! A hypercarnivore is an animal who's diet is 70% or more meat. A keto diet is a high fat moderate protein, low carb diet (no fruit, milk, potatoes, etc). I eat a high protein diet animal based diet :)

Does the Raw milk you drink contain 12g of sugar/carbs per 1cup(250ml) like most pasteurized brands sold in grocery stores? I'm wondering if I should hold off on including milk in my diet until I reach my target weight because I'd be worried about reducing my ketone production or coming out of ketosis. Starting weight July 3rd was 288.2lbs, weigh in July 31st was 248.0lbs following a pure carnivore diet and a bit of exercise but nothing extreme, something shocking to me was how fast my recovery time has been since being on this diet. 5 miles on the elliptical on the max resistance setting and the next day my legs felt like the previous day never happened, it was great. 40 down 70 to go

[@Marshadow69]

I am a little bit surprised at the analysis of vitamin D and glucose. In my view, vitamin D around 60 is the ideal, and 40 really is not particularly low, it is on the bottom end of the optimal range. An A1c of 5.4 is also somewhat high in the context of a carnivore diet. I am in my 60s and my A1c had been around 5.3 for years - when I went keto, it dropped to around 4.6. Obviously people are different but there are informed sources of opinion that would say 5.4 is nudging up to pre-diabetes. I dont know if I missed it but there did not seem to be a fasting insulin or c peptides. I also thought the elevated ferritin is indicative of inflammation and is associated with elevated liver markers. Again, while not seriously elevated, the liver markers are a bit high. I only had the briefest glimpse of HDL and Triglycerides but I would love to hear some analysis of the Trig/HDL ratio.

Maybe look into your shampoo for the dandruff issue. You could try oil cleansing instead of regular shampoo.

Hey Lillie, tysm for sharing all this it's Wonderful to have this point-of-referece for those of us who want to try/continue this woe. I'm 56 and have very similar blood work except my hashimotos is still healing (and progressing positively). I don't agree with older ppl (like myself) won't have parallel blood work. It should and can be similar, with the same [consumed]nutrient load. Otherwise, why bother to try if that's not the end-goal?

That is cool that a doctor supports your carnivore and nutrition goals and test knowing the field. Is there a directory of carnivore or keto friendly doctors that will do this kind of consultation in Georgia?

[@ryno6101]

Very good❤❤❤

[@BonPearson]

I have trouble drinking water also...working on that

[@ShannonSonriseFamilyFarm]

I’m in the same space as you with the carbs Obviously I don’t have any grains or sugar - but adding some fruit has been Beneficial. I have had in the back of my mind that never having an insulin response isn’t a good thing and could develop an issue down the road

[@HeartFeltGesture]

Saladino said the same, no insulin response creates problems. Metabolic diversity for the win. 1 organic apple a day does the trick for me.

[@ShannonSonriseFamilyFarm]

@@HeartFeltGesture makes sense - kinda the whole if you don’t use it you loose it sorta thing lol

[@ronburgandy7571]

Also the sweet pooping from all the fruit

[@sebk174]

Protein spikes Insulin...

[@rosethorn0232]

​@@sebk174Exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't "spike" the way carbs cause a spike, but protein does cause some insulin response. It's only fat that doesn't. So as long as you are consuming protein, you are always having some insulin response. I'm not against a piece of fruit sometimes, but the logic that you need it to have an insulin response is flawed.

Great video! Do you know your APOE status?

[@georgelangelett8366]

Where / how do you get your blood work tested? Thank you for your help.

[@JosieRogers-ex8vo]

Just a thought! Maybe switch out 2 days a week of 1/2 your ground beef with seafood! That’s up selenium, and reduce iron ❤

[@JosieRogers-ex8vo]

It would also up copper. So win win

[@maureenvallieres3555]

I am 54 . I believe I was diabetes because of some of my side affect. I have started keto , intermediate fasting & carnivor & fasting in the last 3 years. I believed I have solved my diabetes problem & my IBS but will have to carefully for the rest of my life ( sugar addict)

[@HeartFeltGesture]

Would you mind letting us know the cost of this testing? I would like to do a comprehensive annual testing also, but concerned about $$. Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from familial abuse, I have this too. Good diet only goes so far, but is also essential of course. I have found the Wim Hoff breathing technique to be highly beneficial - Rapid breathing for 30 breaths and then breath-holding on the out-breath for 1 minute in cycles of 3. Meditation has also been great, coupled with deep diaphragmatic breathing. To meditate is to STOP EVERYTHING (except breathing and awareness). There will be resistance and boredom and a confronting feeling, persevere. I have found the candle meditation to be good. Light a candle and simply rest your attention on the flickering flame, the mind will wander, you just notice this without frustration and bring attention back to the flame, attention will wander again........bring it back........this is like exercising a subtle muscle, the muscle of attention. As you try this, it will become alarmingly evident just how atrophied this ability to have control of your attention has become. Energy flows where attention goes.

[@martinepeters9891]

Do you take any supplements? Im proud of your results.

[@LillieKane]

I take Magnesium and then I was supplementing with Vitamin D in the winter but I may start taking it year round now :)

[@vancebricker428]

Very good 👍🏻

[@LillieKane]

Thank you!💪🏼

[@louiscabral7306]

Lillie,,,you got Labs, gotta say I've had some concern for you watching your videos,,,very responsible,,I for one am proud of you 😏

[@rowan2285]

Could you post the laboratory and which test you did with them?

[@ThomasRonnberg]

my cigars are plant based but it goes pretty well with a kg of moose.

[@northstarpatriot8257]

Hi Lillie. I am insulin resistant so try as much as possible carnivore no carbs to feel the best. I have raw milk but don't much anymore but curious to what happen to your glucose numbers on raw milk? Do you think you ever try a raw milk fast 30 days/blood test/glucose to see what happens?

[@shakeemrobinson8238]

Hi Lillie, do you offer coaching using a keto diet including vegetables?

[@pera06]

Liver is an excellent source of copper and selenium. Although it also contains zinc, the ratio of copper to zinc is still very high. 50g of liver 3 times per week should do it.

[@MarufoVega]

My diet is similar to yours. I was wonder about the need for men/post-menopausal women should be donating blood to avoid accumulating too much iron. Yours is high even though you can slough off iron with every period.

[@darkfieldcarnivore3928]

What metals/electrolyte tests were done? Serum, red blood cell or other?

[@mylifecoach163]

Hi Lillie... you may already know this but be sure to only use shampoo and other hair care products that do not contain any sodium lauryl sulfate. That will definitely cause dandruff and itchy scalp. 🙃

[@hiker-uy1bi]

A good way to get more water is to eat fruit and vegetables.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Nice 😅

[@Livingtabitha]

Just finished watching this and I was thinking about your copper. I’m surprised it not high considering you eat seafood and don’t you eat liver too? Liver is the best source of copper.

[@phitome2816]

the dandruff is Psoriasis which is autoimmun (it got way worse when I went carnivore. Some say its a way to get rid of oxalates, but I doubt that)

[@FRUIANDISES]

Also low copper to zinc ratio can result in a slightly lower white blood cell 😬

[@LillieKane]

Yes!

[@JamesBlacklock]

I love vegetables too much to do this lol. Also it's gotta be such an expensive grocery list. A little meat but mostly eggs, vegetables and legumes + intermittent fasting seems to work pretty well for me. But this makes me want to take a closer look at my blood work results, for sure.

[@rosethorn0232]

When you consider that you also stop buying everything full of carbs that comes in a box/bag, eating almost exclusively meat isn't ridiculously expensive or anything. Personally I save money on food now, because the only things I'm buying is meat/eggs/cheese, nothing from the main aisles of the grocery store, I stopped eating out, etc.

[@pekkahorttanainen8812]

I play tennis and have always had dandruff so I blame it on cortisol... quite clean carnivore with my occational cheat days, but never saw any improvement on dandruff so I would guess it's the stress (hormone).

[@bert_buikema]

Have the reference ranges been established for a keto/carnivore population, or are they based on the SAD carb eaters?? Big difference there...

[@LillieKane]

For sure! I believe Dr Solt was keeping all that in mind which is why something like LDL she's less concerned about whereas something like cortisol being more a universal thing that whether you eat a SAD or not, being stressed out all the time no matter what you're eating isn't ideal :) Great point though!

[@navyladyvet]

I was keto for 8 years and still struggled a little with my pre-diabetes. I went carnivore last month and I am now full blown pre-diabetes. My fasting blood sugar is averaging 118. I am completely stunned that it isn't working. My 82 year old Mom started keto and she is dirty keto. Her numbers are now awesome and mine are horrible. I don't know what to do anymore.

[@timboslice6780]

Are you doing strict carnivore? Like beef water salt only?

[@marcburger8150]

​@@timboslice6780beef water and salt does not heal diabetes.only because you avoid the spikes it does not mean you are healed. navyladyvet prooves it

[@Vexarax]

Did you use fasting or are you eating all day? Because the protein causes glycogenisis (not sure if that’s the right term or how to spell it) that converts the proteins to sugar, causing insulin spikes ie leading to pre diabetes if you have too many too often. So yeah in your case, incorporating longer spaces between meals would be more beneficial. Look into Dr Jason Fung if you haven’t already - he was treating diabetes for years the “normal” way and was getting frustrated that his patients stayed sick. Now he treats them using fasting and they walk out of his clinic healed. Sometimes it can be about a lot more than just a diet change! Edit: and I also would like to know the foods you were actually eating on carnivore because if you were ONLY eating meat you’d have to eat a lot of it, many times during the day, to cause the sort of metabolic damage that would lead to pre-diabetes :o

ApoB rises with LDL. Not unusual or something to worry about IMHO.

[@hikedayley9309]

Start eating a couple Brazil nuts each week for Selenium. Hope this helps!

[@marcdaniels9079]

# Saladino… that won’t do it 😅

[@earthmamma85]

I would love to have this in depth bloodwork done. Anytime I go into the doctor and ask for all the stuff, they just do the bare minimum… it’s frustrating especially since I’ve been having issues for years. Do I need to go to a specialist?

[@polkhigh_33]

You could, but you dont have to. In most countries sadly, the health insurances only pay for the very minimum amount of results. Everything beyond that is charged upon you, thats probably why your doctor hesitates because those can quickly become VERY expensive. Like getting your TSH/FSH alone done in germany is 120 euros. You can get it through insurance if you 'have' severe AMS symptoms. But you'd have to 'have' a buttload of different symptoms across the board to get a complete bloodwork without financially ruining yourself. Therefore I really wouldnt stress myself with bloodwork analysises. If youre starting to feel sideeffects, thats still more than early enough to get a bloodwork done (which then is covered by insurance) and take care of the possible shortcomings.
