In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Ken Berry breaks down what most people get wrong about the carnivore diet, low-carb nutrition, dairy, processed meats, and GLP-1 medications — and why so many modern health guidelines are failing us.

Dr. Berry shares his personal journey from medical school to family medicine, and eventually becoming one of the most outspoken advocates for low-carb and carnivore diets. After struggling with severe obesity and pre-diabetes, he began questioning conventional dietary advice and turned to nutrition science, historical eating patterns, and real-world patient outcomes.

We discuss how dietary guidelines, big food, and pharmaceutical companies influence public health messaging — and why chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease are not genetic inevitabilities, but largely diet-driven.

This episode tackles common myths around the carnivore diet, including:

Whether processed meats are allowed or harmful

Why some people tolerate raw dairy better than conventional dairy

The role of diet drinks and coffee in low-carb lifestyles

How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic work, their risks, and why they should be used cautiously

What to do when blood pressure remains elevated despite doing “everything right”

Dr. Berry emphasizes the importance of accountability, community support, and returning to what he calls a proper human diet — one rooted in biology, not marketing. If you’re interested in carnivore, low-carb, metabolic health, nutrition science, or understanding the truth behind modern health trends, this episode is a must-watch.

If you’re new to the carnivore diet (or about to start), this is your chance to test your bloodwork before and after 30 days on carnivore and see what actually changes—using real labs, not guesses.

This experiment is hosted through Own Your Labs (OwnYourLabs)—the same company I personally use for my own bloodwork. In 44 out of 50 U.S. states, you can order labs directly.

This carnivore blood test bundle is intentionally straightforward so anyone can participate:

1) Lipid PanelLDL cholesterolHDL cholesterolTriglyceridesTotal cholesterol

2) Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)ElectrolytesKidney functionLiver enzymesFasting glucose

3) Fasting InsulinThis is one of the most important markers to track on ultra-low-carb diets like carnivore, and many people see fasting insulin drop significantly.

💰 Cost: After discounts, the total is around $27 per bundle.

Experiment timeline (before + after)

Take your baseline bloodwork right before you start carnivore (or within the first week of starting)

People start carnivore and wonder:

What happens to triglycerides and HDL?

Does fasting insulin improve?

What does carnivore do to kidney and liver markers?

In this powerful episode, health coach Mark Ennis from Ireland shares his extraordinary transformation from battling anorexia, obesity, and severe mental health challenges to becoming a leader in the carnivore diet and nutrition space. After years of failed attempts with traditional diets, Mark discovered the healing power of a carnivore lifestyle, unlocking not only sustainable weight loss but also dramatic improvements in mood, mindset, and overall fitness.

Through his coaching practice, he has helped clients reverse type 2 diabetes, improve metabolic health, restore fertility, and experience life-changing transformations.

What if you were told your heart failure was irreversible — and then you proved them wrong?

In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Kerry Mann, filmmaker and director of the documentary Healing Humanity, to talk about how he completely reversed his heart failure through the Carnivore Diet and lifestyle.

Kerry shares how he first discovered Carnivore, what his early journey looked like, and how his latest bloodwork and CAC scans show measurable, documented reversal of heart disease risk. His story is living proof that real, animal-based nutrition can heal the body from the inside out.

We also talk about his work behind the camera — directing Healing Humanity, a powerful documentary highlighting real transformations happening in the Carnivore community.

If you’ve ever doubted that diet alone can restore your health, this episode will change your mind.
