Black Carnivore
Welcome! I'm Ede and my goal with this podcast is to provide all the information you need to make the keto or carnivore diet a way of life. Listen to these stories from new and veteren keto/carnivore folks and be inspired to transform your life and seek optimal health.
By my family’s history, I should have high blood pressure, heart disease & be a 300lb diabetic by now, but five years ago I took control of my health and turned that around. Cutting carbs was hard but once I got through it & became fat adapted, I was amazed at how great I felt. Suddenly I had tons of energy, lost 80lbs & most importantly felt like I had a healthy way of eating that was sustainable for a lifetime!
We’re told getting older means weight gain, aches, pains, and muscle loss, but now I know that is absolutely not our destiny. If you’re looking to take back your health or set yourself up for a long & healthy life, hang out here and listen to these amazing success stories.
Chuck reversed 10 years of high blood pressure in just 6 weeks on the carnivore diet. He tried a vegan diet but only gained weight, lost muscle and made no improvements on his blood pressure.

I learned so much about lipedema and lymphedema from this conversation with Dr. Seo. Let me know if this interview resonates for you. Please share with anyone you think needs this information. About Dr. Seo The Lipedema Project started as a collaborative partnership between Mark L. Smith, MD, FACS, Director of the The Friedman Center for Breast and Lymphatic Surgery at Northwell Health in NY, and Catherine Seo, PhD, founder of Lipedema Simplified, LLC, and a lipedema patient, advocate and filmmaker in Boston. The Lipedema Project is a comprehensive transmedia program to increase awareness and provide education, research, and treatment for lipedema. With obesity reaching epidemic proportions and anti-fat bias prevalent in healthcare, it is critical that patients are correctly diagnosed and resources are invested in understanding this disease and how it can be treated. Drs. Smith and Seo have collaborated to bring together healthcare professional and patient populations to identify and solve the issues presented by this little-known fat disorder. This unique and cutting-edge approach has led to the documentary film, The Disease They Call FAT, the First International Symposium on Lipedema, CME courses live and online, a global community of patients supporting one another, and an upcoming book on lipedema authored by the leading experts worldwide. https://lipedemaproject.org/ https://lipedema-simplified.org/ @Lipedema Simplified Catherine@lipedema-simplified.org
20 year old Jahfari quit a vegan lifestyle after 4 years because he wasn’t feeling well. Even though he’s young, the vegan lifestyle definitely took its toll especially on his school work.

Join us today for a fascinating conversation with Preston Anderson, Founder of VudooMunkyFut. VudooMunkyFut cultivates space through critique of media, culture, existence...and we build against the status quo through Black imagination. Check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDMqU2dDcVGPBU1usDB_V7Q Not only is Preston a thought leader, but also a carnivore so we spoke about race, gender, diet and health in the Black community. Preston questions the idea that runs through medicine today, that we as a people are genetically predisposed to pathology and early death (diabetes, HBP, Stroke, CVD), labeling it instead, anti-blackness. This was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

He asserts that chronic disease is caused by the poisons we eat everyday that come naturally in plant based foods. Dr Chaffee hosts of the Podcast “The Plant Free MD” where he covers many of these topics and the supporting evidence.

Five years ago, Glenda was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease and was told she had 2-5 years to live. Instead of accepting this devastating news, Glenda fought hard for her life and 5 years later is still here and getting stronger! Listen to this inspiring conversation about how an ancestrally based diet can heal you from even the most devastating illness.
This interview is a little different from my usual interviews because Glenda's illness makes it difficult for her to speak. This is a compilation of me reading her written testimony, her speaking for herself and her sister Annie adding her own perspective. If I were a better editor, I would have been able to arrange the video a little better, but alas, I'm not.
Once Leonard learned he had type 2 diabetes, he immediately began researching how the chronic disease could be reversed. He has been successful in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction for 14 years, but faced a completely different kind of health challenge. Leonard had never paid attention to diet, never tried to lose weight, so had a lot to learn. His efforts paid off as he adopted the carnivore diet and watched his weight and A1C drop to healthy range. He's still healing but confident he'll achieve optimal health. Listen in to hear his inspiring story.

This is a bit of a departure from my usual podcast episodes about the carnivore diet, but I still think it's of interest to the Black meat eaters everywhere. I met Alex in a Clubhouse room about increasing the representation of people of color in the hunting community. Alex is an avid outdoors man, professional forester and founder of Legacy Land Management, a company that provides education and support for rural land owners. Hunting, as a way to provide for our families, is part of our heritage as Black people in America, but through racism we were pushed off of our lands and lost access to this important skill. As Black meat eaters, I think it's important for us to know this history and some of us may even be interested in getting back into nature for food and general restoration.

After meeting Dr. Samm Pryce on Clubhouse, I knew I wanted to sit down and have a real conversation with her. She's a wealth of knowledge and really helped me understand how a blood type diet can be used to maximize health. She truly believes healthy food is medicine and much of what we eat today is a poison. You can listen to the full podcast interview wherever you listen to podcasts or you can watch the full video on my Patreon channel.
Dr. Samm, a naturopathic doctor, is open to the carnivore diet so if you need further medical care with someone who respects your food choices, Dr. Samm can be a great health partner.
Finally, there's not many studies around the blood type diet so we thought we would do a preliminary survey of the black carnivore community to see if our incidence of blood type O (the meat eater type) is higher than in the general population. If you'd like to participate click here https://forms.gle/bFesDopHLxQkPAvc7.

Michal began developing vitiligo 6 years ago. After consultations with doctors, he accepted there was nothing he could do about it but avoid the sun and use sunscreen as the doctors instructed. His brother heard about a man in the Czech Republic who was treating his vitiligo with a carnivore diet, then he heard about Joe Rogan, another vitiligo sufferer possibly improving his skin on carnivore. After some research Michal decided to try it too and got started February 1st 2020. One year later, after many steaks, butter and pork meals, he's pleased to see a marked reversal in his vitiligo patches, some weight loss and generally improved health. Skip to the 2:42 minute mark to see the before & after picture. If you have vitiligo, would you be willing to try this diet? The carnivore diet is known to help with a wide variety of autoimmune conditions, why would it not help with vitiligo, an autoimmune condition where the body destroys cells that create melanin? Listen to Michal's fascinating story and give it a try!

For the first time ever, she's satisfied and no longer ruled by food. Listen to this enlightening interview and learn more about how the carnivore diet can work for you.

She's still working toward her diabetes and weight loss goals but with more than 100lbs under her belt, she'll surely make it there.
