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!!
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. 🎹🤍🖤

Thinking about the year ahead can be overwhelming when it comes to goal setting. For some people, like me, short term goals can be much more motivating. Right now it's beast mode through the Meetup this Saturday. That said, I do still have long term goals for the year. Staying carnivore is just a given now as it's my life already so I have to dive a little deeper for me. I'd like to stay in the same weight range but lower my body fat a bit. Gain some muscle mass in short. Gym at least 4 times a week and beast mode at the same time is my recipe.
Steak video for interest. 🤪
Do you do better with short or long term goals?
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
Thanks for hanging out on the Livestream last night! I found the talk I was mentioning that Amy Berger gave a few years a go that really impacted me. It was the first time I had heard an "expert" sharing a story about how she struggled the way I did. It really helped me understand what was going on with my obsessive thoughts about food. If you are someone struggling I encourage you to watch it.
I also talked last night about the upcoming Carnivore Made Simple course by Dr. Eric Westman and Amy Berger that I am going to be a part of. I will be an admin for their Facebook group and help with some of the livestreams etc. It is a very thorough online course that breaks down all the science behind carnivore, answers all the quesitons people have, and in a very simple way help to explain what is carnivore and why it works. The course launches on July 28th for sign ups and they will give me a discount code to share with you on that day. It's a self paced course and then the Facebook group...
