Happy Friday!! It has been a pretty chill week for me, which made me getting back strict easier. My body has released a lot of water weight/inflammation already and I am feeling much better. My friends Barbara and Jacie (Lady Carnivore) from The CIRS group podcast came over yesterday, they are in town for a CIRS conference and came over for steaks and to visit for a while. We all forgot to take any pictures!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
One thing we talked a lot about was when Carnivore alone isn't enough to heal you. Have you experienced this at all? And there are so many people that have autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, MS, or other underlying severe conditions that are all related to CIRS, chronic inflammatory response syndrome. And in order to heal this, sometimes carnivore can help at Bert's but you won't fully be healed until you go through the protocol with a CIRS doctor.
But the hardest part in educating people about that is that the people who really need to hear it aren't looking for the information. I feel that way about food addiction also, The people that really need to hear that message likely aren't going to go out and watch a video about food addiction. So whenever I make videos about carnivore mistakes or just my general talking videos, I always try and work in some things that would help people understand food addiction. Hopefully that just sparked some light bulbs and then they start learning more about themselves and their relationship with food.
But that's one of the hardest things in bringing information and healing to people is just meeting them where they are and giving them the information that they're ready to hear.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday!!
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Friday!! I finally got back to walking yesterday. Our entire week in WV I didn't get many steps in, we took some walks in the woods but not a lot of miles. Since I came back I've been so busy and tired, at least that's my excuse, but really it's just hard to get back into the routine after not doing it for over a week. That's the hard part for me about exercise, the more I do it the easier it is to keep doing it. But as soon as I have a few days in a row where I don't make time to exercise, I just lose all motivation for it. However yesterday I got back to it!! 💪🏼💪🏼 I walked about 6+ miles during the day while working and hit 15k steps. Today is going to be very busy but I plan to get started early in the day.
How are you planning to get some movement in today?
Happy Thursday! I am all thrown off this week on what day it is. 😂 It's been good to be home but busy getting back into our routine. Chris and the kids started getting things organized yesterday to kick off their school year. They always start by setting some goals for the year and mapping out a plan on how to accomplish them.
Normally I like to focus on short term goals and daily non-negotiables, but I thought it might be fun to set a longer term goal for the rest of this year.
What is one thing you want to accomplish still in 2025?
Hi Carnivore Community. My husband and I started carnivore 2 weeks ago. By day 3, all carb cravings were gone. My joints are no longer aching. I’m down 5 lbs. I don’t think I’m eating enough but I’m not hungry. Today I had 2 eggs, 2 tbs shredded cheese, and bacon. Dinner;8 baked chicken wings and 1/4 cup of fresh baked salmon. Oh, my coffee with heavy cream and real butter for breakfast.
