Ditch The Vegan and Plant-Based Myths | Dr. Shawn Baker & Richard Smith
Richard has been a carnivore for 5 years, following a ketogenic diet for 11 years. He was once clinically obese, had type 2 diabetes, and suffered from daily debilitating migraines that would render him blind. He also struggled with chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and in his mid to late 20s, he could barely walk up the stairs without stopping or being severely out of breath. He switched to a keto diet and within 12 months, he lost 107 lbs, reversed his diabetes, and no longer suffered from any of the aforementioned issues. The subsequent years saw him become a pro athlete and a British & European champion in men's physique bodybuilding. Today, he is a nutritionist and an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration, assisting others in combating their health issues, ranging from insulin resistance & diabetes to APKD and cancers.

Diet Combats Neurological Disorders, Here's How | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Matthew Phillips
Matt is a clinical and research neurologist at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand. His foremost passion is to explore the potential feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternate metabolic states that may benefit people with a variety of neurological disorders. His team conducted the world’s first randomized trials involving a ketogenic diet in people with Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, and is now applying fasting and ketogenic diet protocols in people with Huntington’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He is currently conducting a clinical trial in glioblastoma, which combines standard treatments with the most intensive fasting and ketogenic diet protocol ever applied to a group of patients with advanced cancer.

Sleep And Your Carnivore Health | Dr. Shawn Baker & Kirk Parsley
Welcome to a brand new episode of the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast, where today we're diving deep into the world of sleep science with our esteemed guest, and former Navy SEAL, Kirk. Known as the "sleep guy" in military circles, Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge from his transition into the medical field, specifically on the topic of how sleep—or the lack thereof—affects our metabolic health and performance.
In this episode, we unpack the mysteries of sleep and discuss its anabolic nature, the significance of each sleep stage, and the intricate physiological processes our bodies undergo during slumber. Kirk draws from his extensive experience to explain how he helped soldiers off prescription sleep medications, which in turn led to vast health improvements.
Dr. Shawn Baker, with his shared military background and orthopedic expertise, joins the conversation to delve into the repercussions of sleep deprivation and the risks associated with commonly used sleep drugs. You'll hear about the impact of poor sleep on everything from emotional processing and risk of disease to everyday performance and longevity.
We also outline practical strategies for improving sleep quality, including supplement recommendations, meditative practices, and sleep hygiene techniques. Kirk's valuable insights extend to managing sleep troubles in the elderly and mitigating jet lag.

Teach Your Kids About Carnivore | Dr. Shawn Baker, Theo, and Nicole
Theo, a Belgian musician and entrepreneur, and Nicole, a visual artist and anthropologist from Hong Kong, are the creative minds behind a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community. Their journey began after Theo discovered the carnivore diet while treating his chronic health issues, including asthma and IBS. The couple turned to carnivore diet, a shift that significantly improved both of their health. This dietary transition, coupled with Nicole's contrasting experiences between the sugary European diet and her meat-rich Hong Kong heritage, inspired them to author a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community and beyond.
Living across France, Belgium, and the UK, the couple is committed to promoting the carnivore diet not only as a healthy choice but as a way of life, especially as they plan to start a family. They recognize a gap in educational materials about carnivore eating for younger audiences and see their book as a pivotal step towards filling this void. Their work strives to make the carnivore lifestyle understandable and accessible to all, believing in the power of their story and experiences to inspire and inform a broader audience.

Customer Reviews
Wide variety of guests
I love hearing from so many different people who have such a wide range of experiences but they share success on carnivore for so many conditions.
Pretty good, huh?
Update: take the science and leave the garbage Update: Kudos to you Shawn and your team. This podcast has really improved. Better editing, better microphone ( hallelujah!), improved interviewing skills!! I really appreciate hearing your guests. Edit: what’s going on with this podcast? “Where do YOU draw the line?” Half an hour in and nothing about the carnivore diet. Description provides no context. What is this episode about? It’s bad enough to have to sit through the ramblings of Shawn Baker ( who, btw rivals the Sleepy Joe persona with his verbal stumbling) but now it’s an interview that has nothing to do with carnivore. I’m here for the carnivore experiences, not for overt “covert” political stuff. Get it together, people aren’t here for this, no matter which end you are on. Lots of good info however quite a few of the interviewers need to learn to not interrupt the guests constantly, lots of rambling. Makes it tough to listen to at times. Also, somebody please buy Shawn Baker a proper microphone and some diction/elocution lessons. PS, covid is still out there and it’s not just for the obese, a long time ultramarathoner I know just got it (April 2022). Plenty of people out there are “skinny” yet unhealthy and/or diabetic, etc. I’ve taken many health histories over the past 18 years and I can assure you that the way someone looks doesn’t mean that they don’t have myriad health problems.
Nope
I’ll leave 2 stars because the podcast is full of vital information for using carnivore to turn your metabolic health around and even save your life; however, Dr. Baker consistently degrades fat women by putting down the body positivity “movement” (he’s too self absorbed to realize it’s a human right to love oneself, and not a fad). On the latest episode he quoted someone he admires that said “I don’t care about sedentary people; nobody should be sedentary” (insert laugh). Then the woman he was interviewing said she liked that line (at least she added helpful information for sedentary people after that). They forgot they weren’t in the gym & that we (fat people) were listening so we could get support. We’ve normalized this kind of degradation of others. I will buy this woman’s book despite her lack of courage to correct her friend (most people with the power to do so choose not to correct Baker). I’ll read it because I don’t want to be fat & sick another day. Dr. Baker is the epitome of how many in the medical profession see us (fat women). They don’t care about us. We’re mere objects to project shame onto. They blame, shame and kick us while we’re down, and will allow us to die over these arrogant biases. The irony is the carnivore diet will save me from this subconscious hatred as I grow older, so thanks for the info doc. But there has to be safer spaces for me (us), and this is not one of them. Dr. Baker forgets his oath to do no harm and I hope his peers help him correct his behavior, because my words won’t move the needle.
