When I was hospitalized and diagnosed with severe autoimmune flares (ITP) in late 2024, my inflammatory markers were at an all-time high. Desperate for answers, I adopted a strict, zero-carb carnivore diet as an aggressive elimination protocol to calm systemic inflammation and give my gut a complete reset.
The results were life-changing: my ESR dropped from 34 mm/hr all the way down to 12 mm/hr, my chronic fatigue vanished, and my joint stiffness dissolved.
Once my inflammation normalized and my gut healed, I mindfully transitioned from pure carnivore to an animal-based whole food lifestyle—reintroducing seasonal fruits, root vegetables, and clean ingredients while keeping nutrient-dense meats, eggs, and healthy fats as my daily foundation.
