In this video, Victoria shares her transformative journey on the carnivore diet after years of adhering to conventional health advice. She discusses her initial health struggles, the significant improvements she experienced after transitioning to a meat-based diet, and challenges the long-held beliefs about cholesterol and nutrition. Victoria emphasizes the benefits she has seen, such as weight stabilization, relief from arthritis, reduced arterial plaque, and a return of her hair color. She argues that the narrative surrounding diet, particularly the emphasis on plant-based eating, often misdirects attention from actual health issues associated with certain foods and medications.

Key Points

Transition to Carnivore Diet

Victoria, a long-time health enthusiast, shares her transition from a conventional diet focusing on low-fat and plant-based foods to the carnivore diet. After years of avoiding meat due to the belief it was unhealthy, she found relief from various health issues once she incorporated red meat into her diet.

Health Improvements Noticed

Victoria highlights significant health benefits after adopting the carnivore diet, including weight stabilization without excessive fasting, relief from arthritis, and almost complete resolution of bone spurs. Additionally, she has noticed cosmetic changes such as her hair color returning.

Reduction of Arterial Plaque

A key revelation for Victoria was the improvement in her arterial health; scans showed a reduction of plaque over time, which contradicts the common belief that saturated fat leads to heart problems.

Critique of Nutritional Narratives

Victoria critically examines the mainstream narratives that vilify cholesterol and promote plant-based diets, suggesting that such narratives are often misleading and ignore the real culprits behind health issues, such as processed foods and environmental toxins.

Cultural Perceptions of Aging

Now at 70, Victoria expresses that she feels vibrant and energetic, challenging societal notions about aging. She encourages others to embrace new experiences, regardless of their age, and reflects on how one's mindset can greatly affect vitality.

Advice for Beginners

For those considering transitioning to a carnivore diet, Victoria advises taking gradual steps rather than an abrupt shift from previous eating habits to ensure a smoother adjustment period.

Victoria's comments about being drawn to carnivore by videos - all the carnivore YouTube doctors look so healthy, while the vegan YouTube doctors look sick and gaunt

You really can see people's diets on their faces

100%. As she said, everyone is is trying their best, and they believe what they say. I have noticed the difference as well.

The carnivore doctors look great. The non-doctor carnivore influencers all look beefy, probably because they came to carnivore to solve a problem they were having.

Vegans are also solving a problem they're having, it just has nothing to do with their own health.

I like Victoria's speaking style, its very reflective and thoughtful. Her social experiences were the most impactful for me to hear.
