IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH

• Brett has been NSNG for some time.
• He is now 60, and weighs 180.
• At his heaviest, in 2015, he was 289.
  • He was also on multiple medications for depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
    • The medicine only made him feel crazier and more obese.
• Breaking it down, Brett lost 94 pounds over three years low carb, and lost the last 22 when he switched to a carnivore diet in 2018.
• Overall, prior to NSNG, Brett felt deluded, unhappy, and angry.
  • He couldn’t carry on conversations with people, he was unemployable, and each day was tough to get through. 
  • Brett is so grateful to his wife for sticking with him when he was sick and crazy.
• Brett also found that medical marijuana helped his mental health.
  • A few days in, he saw that he was so overweight, had pale and gray skin, and he began low carb and walking then.
  • Consult your doctor!
• He titrated off of all of his medications.
  • Please consult with your doctor if you are hoping to do the same!
    • Vinnie thinks this is especially important for medicines that deal with your mental health and stability.
• Brett has been carnivore for over 1300 days.
  • He feels his life has never been better!
  • Quite literally, he only eats meat and drinks water.
  • Vinnie doesn’t do this, but he understands why it works best for some!
    • Vinnie will still eat dairy and veg (on occasion), for example.

LAB WORK

• Brett has gotten some bloodwork done in 2019 and this year so that he can compare.
• In 2019, his cholesterol was 174 with trigs at 63.
  • Three weeks ago, it was 158 and his trigs were 51.
  • These numbers look great, especially when you break them down.
• The rest of his lab work also showed incredible improvement, and he thinks his commitment to carnivorism plays a big part!
