0:00There's a kind of fat a mirror will
0:01never show you. A scale will never
0:03catch, and your yearly physical doesn't
0:06even test for. It sits packed around
0:09your organs, and it's the fat that's
0:12actually driving the disease that takes
0:14most men down and women down. I've
0:17watched it on MRIs in over 6,000 people
0:20across a 7-year study I did for the
0:23National Science Foundation. I'm Dr.
0:25Shauna Mera, a physician, researcher,
0:27and a no-nonsense straight-talking
0:30retired US Army colonel. And I'm about
0:32to give you the only carnivore guide
0:35you'll ever need to get rid of that
0:37disease. Let's get into it. Module one,
0:40this is not weight loss, it's disease
0:42loss. Everybody talks about losing
0:44weight. Nobody's talking about losing
0:47disease, but that's where I want to
0:48start. Why I'm different from everybody
0:50else, because yes, people did lose
0:53weight, but what I found and observed by
0:56MRI is more importantly, they lost
0:59disease. And they preserved their
1:00health. The target of everything in this
1:02video is one [music] thing, visceral fat
1:05disease. So, why your doctor missed it.
1:09It was never part of the medical school
1:11curriculum or even shared in the
1:13training programs the physicians go to
1:16called residency training where they
1:18begin to specialize. [music] It's
1:19completely kept out, so don't blame your
1:22doctor that he or she doesn't know about
1:24this. But, you can ask your doctor to
1:26point it out on a scan for yourself, and
1:29you'll see they have no idea about it.
1:31The wrong targets you've been provided.
1:34You've been given things like the
1:36bathroom scale. You've been given things
1:38like calories in and calories out,
1:41counting calories, and body mass index
1:44called BMI. You've heard these things,
1:47and probably the most you've heard about
1:49is cholesterol. When you're not tracking
1:51visceral fat, it's like a sprinter
1:53[music] tracking leaves on trees that
1:55he's running by. You're going to go
1:57nowhere. That's what happens if you're
1:59tracking these other things. How about
2:01we pay attention to something like how
2:03fast that sprinter is running? Don't you
2:05think that would be more useful? That's
2:06where visceral fat comes [music] in.
2:08When this fat leaves, visceral fat
2:10disease, you're not just losing weight.
2:12You're actually losing structural
2:15disease inside your body. Let's take a
2:18look where this started. What happened
2:20to me when I got rid of visceral fat?
2:22This is me right before I started the
2:24National Science Foundation study. I
2:26look like an average person, but I do
2:28not look [music] like how I look today.
2:30This is how much I changed over this
2:33period of time, which is 11 years. But,
2:35what's interesting is most of you
2:38probably think I weigh more here. You'd
2:40be wrong. I weigh more here, and I weigh
2:43more today. The reason is I got rid of
2:46fatty disease, and I gained healthy
2:48tissue, like muscle. It's apparent what
2:51happens when you do this looking at this
2:53photograph. You'll see the same change
2:56in your own photographs once you get rid
2:59of visceral fat. Module two, the enemy,
3:01the fat you can't see. First, there's
3:04two kinds of fat, subcutaneous fat, the
3:07soft fat that you can pinch on the
3:09outside, and then visceral fat disease,
3:13the inflammatory fat packed around your
3:16organs, deep inside your abdomen, around
3:19your heart, and even the fat inside your
3:22muscles. To be fair and honest, the
3:25pinchable fat that you have on the
3:26outside, the subcutaneous fat, it's
3:29largely cosmetic. But, for the most
3:31part, it's very different than this
3:34deep, deadly visceral fat disease inside
3:38your body, surrounding your heart, and
3:39lining your muscles. On an MRI, fat
3:42shows up as white, very recognizable.
3:44And then, muscle, organs, bone, they
3:47show up as dark. They're very
3:49distinguishable, and you can nail what
3:51is disease and what is health so easily
3:54on MRI scan, but you can't do it on a
3:57DEXA scan and certainly not a smart
4:00scale that I really say are just dumb
4:03cuz they're not tracking what's really
4:05important. Let me talk to you about
4:06TOFI. TOFI is thin outside fat inside.
4:10[music] Means you have very little fat
4:12on the outside of your body relative to
4:15the obese amount of fat that you have
4:17inside. I call it invisible obesity. You
4:20walk around, everybody says, "Oh,
4:22Charlie, Mary, they're good. They're not
4:25heavy." They are. They're obese. It's
4:27just invisible. It's buried inside of
4:29them and they have no idea because their
4:31doctor has no idea. Visceral fat
4:33disease, you can't pinch it. You can't
4:36feel it and you cannot see it unless you
4:39get an MRI. Let's show you a couple MRIs
4:42in a real client. The client right here,
4:44when they originally got scanned, is
4:46mostly white on the inside. That white
4:50is visceral fat disease. Three months
4:52later, look how much they reduced their
4:54visceral fat disease. Remember that
4:56barreled chest, barreled belly? It's
4:59bulging up. Now, their abdomen is flat.
5:02[music]
5:03So, they have
5:05a much healthier abdominal and entire
5:09body here. But, here's something else
5:11that happened. Take a look at all that
5:12white. When you got a lot of white,
5:14you're going to have less black. See
5:16those oblique muscles? This muscle right
5:19here on this side is thin. Now, look how
5:22thick it got over here. The muscle grew
5:25in 3 months, almost 40%. And this
5:30patient is 87 years old. And no, [music]
5:33they're not taking steroids or hormones
5:37or peptides or stem cells or any
5:40performance-enhancing [music] drug. This
5:42is simply natural strategies that have
5:45been focused and exploited using an MRI
5:49>> [music]
5:49>> to track what really matters. Get rid of
5:52disease, increase your health. Module
5:54three, every benefit you'll feel. I want
5:57to talk to you about stable all day long
6:01energy. No blood sugar spikes, no
6:04crashes robbing you of your precious
6:07energy. There's no 2:00 p.m. wall that
6:09you're going to hit. We're going to talk
6:11about a battle plan to destroy the
6:14enemy. The enemy that is sinking your
6:17energy, robbing it, taking it away from
6:19you. Visceral fat disease, cravings, the
6:23food noise that you're suffering from.
6:25They will go quiet, even silent, except
6:28for good food. The sleep benefits, sleep
6:31that will fully restore you. You'll have
6:34[music] steadier blood sugars while you
6:36sleep overnight with fewer 3:00 a.m.
6:40waking up in the middle of the night.
6:42You'll get lower inflammation. By taking
6:44out the carbs, especially processed
6:46[music] carbs and seed oils, and the
6:48background aches and problems just drift
6:52away. You'll have increasingly better
6:55mental clarity and a steadier [music]
6:57mood because your brain is getting
6:59steady fuel all day long. Your digestion
7:03simplifies and optimizes. Once you strip
7:06out the foods that were irritating your
7:08gut, you'll end up with steadier blood
7:11sugar and insulin. Your metabolic
7:14health, better energy, better physiology
7:16on a cellular level and [music] even on
7:20an organ level. We address body
7:22composition. You hold your muscle while
7:25you drop disease. And the one I saved
7:28for the end, visceral fat disease, the
7:30invisible obesity your scale and your
7:34labs never show you. Now, Carnivore gets
7:37most of what I just listed, but on its
7:39own, it eventually stalls and there's a
7:42specific reason why. You'll feel most of
7:44what I just walked through in the first
7:47few weeks. If you want it written down
7:49so you can start this week, I put it
7:51together in a free 5-day framework that
7:54walks you through the whole thing, the
7:56food, the exercise, even the sleep
7:58protocols. It's linked in the
8:00description below. Go grab it. Module
8:02four, the flaw in plain carnivore, the
8:05missing microbes. You've seen people try
8:07low-carb, keto, paleo, carnivore,
8:11Mediterranean and they say it wasn't for
8:13them. For some, plain carnivore isn't
8:17sustainable. So, ask why it worked for
8:20every one of our ancestors. The
8:22difference is microbes. Our ancestors
8:25had a very different microbiome and
8:27carnivores, even the most disciplined
8:29ones today, still have a different
8:31microbiome. And unless you're working
8:34towards leveraging your microbiome like
8:37our ancestors did, you are destined to
8:40fail. Microbiome is the most important
8:44feature of your health and our ancestors
8:47had an abundance of beautiful,
8:49health-optimizing microbes and they got
8:51them into their system every day, eating
8:54that meat. But the supermarket meat you
8:56eat today is prepared in a disinfected,
9:00nearly sterile environment with all
9:03sorts of chemical disinfectants [music]
9:05and packaging material and so you're not
9:08getting those microbes that our
9:10ancestors got from their natural hunt
9:12and drinking natural water. Our
9:14ancestors had living microbes every time
9:17they drank and every time they ate
9:20[music] meat. That's the one thing a
9:21modern carnivore plate is missing,
9:24living microbes. The living part of the
9:26meat that a clean grocery store counter
9:29or clean [snorts] grocery store packaged
9:31piece of meat cannot provide. This also
9:34handles cravings. If you still crave
9:36food, carbs, processed [music]
9:39food items, it's because your microbiome
9:42is sub-optimal. It's dysbiotic. It's
9:45become diseased itself. And the right
9:48microbes will crowd out the ones that
9:51are causing cravings for processed foods
9:55and specially carbohydrates. So, the fix
9:58is simple. You put back the living
10:00aspect, living microbes, back into the
10:03meat. That's called my living diet. It's
10:07unlike any other diet in the world
10:10because you're eating food that's alive.
10:13And it actually improves your own life
10:16when you do that. Module five, the
10:18living diet, meat and microbes. I'm
10:21going to walk you through the four
10:22versions of carnivore so you can better
10:25understand that. The lion diet, just
10:28beef, ruminant meat, salt, water, and
10:31nothing else. It's a great approach if
10:34you happen to have a microbiome that
10:36allows you to sustain it. But for most
10:38people, they cannot endure it and
10:41sustain it. And they ultimately start
10:43branching off consuming other things as
10:45more and more unfavorable microbes start
10:48filling their gut. The standard
10:50carnivore diet, all animal products, so
10:53beef, also seafood, poultry, and game.
10:56The animal-based form of carnivore,
10:59really popular. Why? Because you get to
11:01eat the sweet stuff, like honey and
11:03fruit. [music] The problem with that is
11:06glycation. And glycation ages tissue.
11:09Not only make you look older, but it
11:11makes your organs look older, too. The
11:14ones you can't see. And so, it's
11:16accelerating the aging process,
11:19increasing you with more inflammation,
11:22and robbing you slowly, insidiously, of
11:26precious health. Stay away from the
11:28fruit and honey and carbohydrates that
11:31accompany the animal-based diet because
11:33it does not address the microbiome and
11:36it slowly creates a garden of weeds
11:39inside of you. Now, let's talk the
11:41living carnivore diet, the one I run
11:43that's alive where you eat carnivore
11:46animal products plus fermented living
11:49foods and vegetables and even fermented
11:53fruit, but no carbohydrates. When you
11:55ferment fruit and vegetables, it
11:58eliminates the carbohydrates and retains
12:01all the beneficial nutrients, but also
12:04adds in all the beneficial metabolites
12:07helping increase your own body's
12:09peptides and also adding in these living
12:12microbes that can go inside you and even
12:15live in you maybe for the rest of your
12:18life. These microbes are the difference
12:20to my diet that I call the living diet.
12:22You need to understand this. Since you
12:24can't hunt, you need to get true living
12:28food, fermented foods including
12:30fermented animal products like fermented
12:33dairy. These make a huge difference. You
12:36now know what to eat. Now, I'm going to
12:39give you the exact system how to start.
12:42Module six, the seven-step system to
12:45start. Step one, the baseline.
12:47Photograph your whole body, face, chest,
12:51abdomen, back, arms, sides, hands, feet,
12:56even your spider veins and your hair,
12:59your scalp. Track [snorts] it all and
13:02get an MRI so you can see the disease
13:05inside your body and watch the way the
13:09disease inside your body changes in MRI,
13:11how you change in the outside. Step two,
13:14choose your version from module five.
13:16For most people, start on basic
13:18carnivore then move to the living
13:21carnivore [music] diet. Step three, what
13:23to buy. Grass-fed and grass-finished
13:26ruminant beef or bison is the standard.
13:29And game meat is really the best you
13:32could possibly get. There's also
13:34wild-caught seafood that you can eat.
13:36And remember, only buy dairy that is
13:39fermented, that's whole fat, that's not
13:42processed but truly fermented. Also,
13:45it's important to stay clear of cheaper
13:48versions that are grain-fed and heavily
13:51marbled eyes or even marbled eyes at
13:53all. It's just diseased flesh. You don't
13:56want to be eating that cheaper version
13:58of meat. Step four, your first week.
14:01Expect some fatigue as you start to
14:03transition away from your dysbiotic,
14:07heavy carbohydrate-dependent
14:09microbiome. And maybe you'll get some
14:12headaches and some cravings for
14:15carbohydrates and processed foods. And
14:17maybe some changes to your
14:19gastrointestinal tract, your digestive
14:22system a little bit as your body begins
14:24to accommodate. [music]
14:25And you switch your fuel from
14:27carbohydrates to ketone bodies that your
14:31body leverages and produces from fat
14:34stores inside your abdomen and all over
14:37your body for that matter. You also will
14:39need to supplement with some key
14:42electrolytes because as you burn this
14:44fat, you'll go through more of your
14:46electrolytes. Then also make sure you
14:48maintain fluids. Drink from glass. Don't
14:51drink from plastic. Don't fear fat. Eat
14:54the entire as much of the body of an
14:56animal as you can eating nose to tail.
14:58Remember tendons and ligaments and
15:01gristle and things that you would
15:02formally not like actually turn out
15:05[music] to have incredible sources of
15:07nutrition that will benefit your body.
15:09So gradually start eating other cuts of
15:12meat and more things than what you
15:13typically have ever eaten off of an
15:16animal before. Nose to tail has a lot of
15:18wisdom. Let me tell you about my rule of
15:20thumb. You're only as healthy as you go
15:22to the bathroom. How you defecate and
15:24how you pee really reflects how healthy
15:27you are. You should have a bowel
15:29movement in just a few seconds, like 3
15:31to 7 seconds. It should resemble a
15:34reflex and it should feel amazing. And
15:37when it comes to peeing, you'll pee
15:39effortless
15:40>> [music]
15:40>> and you'll pee efficiently. In about 20
15:43to 21 seconds, you'll empty that bladder
15:46completely. No leaking, no dribbling, no
15:49weak stream. You'll blast away like you
15:52formerly did if you're a guy, like a
15:54thoroughbred racehorse. Step number six,
15:58let's talk about social situations, like
16:00when you go to your neighbor's house for
16:02dinner or with relatives or to a [music]
16:04restaurant. We'll help you understand
16:06how you can discreetly bring in small
16:09amounts of ferments in tiny little small
16:12mason jars or even little baby food
16:14jars. Discreetly taking them out. It
16:17doesn't take much of these living foods
16:20to complement your meal correctly.
16:22Remember, this is living carnivore, the
16:25living diet. Step seven, how to handle
16:28the objections from other people.
16:29[music] When they start saying things,
16:31"Well, I'm worried about how much weight
16:33you're losing." We'll help you gain
16:36insight, confidence. [music]
16:37You'll whip out your cell phone with the
16:39photographs and show them the difference
16:42[music] and say, "Me in the past, no,
16:44thank you. I don't want to look like
16:45that." Or when you have an MRI, "Me with
16:48all this fat around my heart, no, thank
16:50you. [music] Not going back to that." I
16:52wonder how much fat you might have if
16:54you get an MRI. Let me talk to you about
16:56my favorite meat suppliers. Right now,
16:58[music]
16:59it's Pimanis Beef, grass-fed,
17:01grass-finished, Plain View Beef, which
17:03is grass-fed and sprout-finished, which
17:06has even higher levels of nutrition, and
17:10there's also White Oak Pastures, awesome
17:13grass-fed, grass-finished beef, and US
17:17Wellness, also awesome grass-fed,
17:20grass-finished beef. Buy grass-fed,
17:22grass-finished. There are definitely
17:24better sources of this than others. So,
17:26I'm finding out the best ones. [music] I
17:28talk about them. I promote them. I even
17:31have codes that you can get and utilize
17:33to get a substantial [music] discount.
17:36Why is it substantial? Because I don't
17:37take a penny. It's all going to you. I'm
17:39promoting it as a physician researcher.
17:42It's high time that people on the
17:44internet start to talk about what is
17:46awesome without having to be paid for
17:48it. I want to be the first one that's
17:49doing that. Everything I've shown you so
17:51far, you can do on your own. But, if you
17:53want to see the disease inside of you
17:55and track [music] it against a real
17:57baseline, that's the work I do with
17:59clients in my clinical practice. You can
18:02find me at dr.shaunomera.com
18:05or growingbetternotolder.com.
18:08Either way, stay [snorts] with me
18:10because now I want to show you module
18:13seven. How to strip visceral fat off
18:15fast. You're already running the first
18:17lever by eating this way. You've
18:19eliminated processed foods,
18:21carbohydrates, preservatives, and seed
18:24oils that all contribute to disease and
18:26spike insulin and, [music]
18:28unfortunately, allow for the storage of
18:30the wrong kind of fat, visceral fat,
18:33fatty disease, heart fat, and muscle
18:35fat. The proof that diets doing the work
18:37is from one of my own cases in a client
18:40who came to us during the National
18:42Science Foundation study. He was 68
18:45years old, a business executive. This is
18:47him when he got started. His visceral
18:49fat is that pinkish-red stuff in the
18:51middle. Now, watch what happens in just
18:542 weeks later. But, he didn't just stop
18:56there. That empowered him, and he
18:58continued to lose that visceral fat more
19:01and more. So, he goes from here,
19:03remember, having the barrel belly
19:05sticking up to now having what looks
19:07like a six-pack. He's clearly got it on
19:10an MRI. Nice oval-shaped abdomen, way
19:13less of the visceral fat. But, he also
19:17lost the muscle fat. See that big chunk
19:19of fat in his muscle? That big chunk of
19:22fat even got better in 2 weeks. Bet you
19:25didn't know that you could lose fat in
19:27your muscle in a shorter period of time
19:30as 2 weeks. And look how it's completely
19:33gone by 35 weeks. All that flammatory
19:37fatty disease in his muscle along with
19:40this visceral fat has been eliminated.
19:42Here's the really interesting thing. He
19:44did that by just eliminating processed
19:47foods, especially processed
19:49carbohydrates. And that is all he did.
19:53He did not exercise 1 minute. The second
19:57lever is how you move. Sprinting is my
20:00favorite form of exercise. Short,
20:03maximum intense bursts of exercise until
20:06you're profoundly short of breath.
20:08Roughly for sprinting, about 10 to 20
20:11seconds. Then you rest, recover, and
20:14repeat. Those spikes end up spiking
20:16hormones telling your body to burn
20:19deadly fat and to build muscle. So, any
20:23form of maximally intensive exercise
20:26could be substituted in here if you're
20:29not able [music] to sprint. But
20:30remember, be cleared by your doctor for
20:32sprinting and make sure you're properly
20:35conditioned before you sprint. Then
20:37there's the case I keep coming back to.
20:39The 58-year-old
20:41who has a dramatic response from the
20:45insertion and beginning of sprinting
20:49into their exercise routine. He was
20:51doing our strategies that we gave him
20:53for the National Science Foundation. But
20:55this was his follow-up scan, and he
20:57still had this persistent amount of
20:59visceral fat disease inside of him. He
21:01had been previously running 10 miles a
21:04day 5 days a week, and he admitted he
21:07had not stopped running and not started
21:10sprinting. So, we convinced him, we had
21:11to threaten him kicking him out of the
21:13study and the free MRIs that he was
21:16getting and the executive health
21:17program. And he stopped running and he
21:19started sprinting. And that was the only
21:21change between here and here, and it's
21:24less than 2 months. He grew muscle and
21:27he got rid of disease by just stopping
21:29running and starting sprinting. Third
21:32lever, meal timing. Stop grazing.
21:35Constant snacking keeps your insulin
21:37levels elevated, always high, all day
21:40long, and that is not a natural pattern
21:43unless you're a cow. But you are a homo
21:46sapien. You're meant to have periods
21:49where you're not eating and you're
21:50recovering. We help you understand the
21:52proper way of eating and not eating.
21:56Module 8, the two questions everyone
21:59always asks is about being plant-based
22:02and GLP-1 medications. We're going to
22:05answer both of them head on.
22:06Plant-based, briefly, you can reduce
22:09visceral fat being plant-based. It is
22:12done, but it's just slower and it takes
22:15more patience and even more discipline,
22:18but you can do it. All right, now let's
22:19talk about GLP-1 drugs. Now, to be fair,
22:23the studies are pretty impressive in
22:26terms of some of the results that are
22:28being achieved when GLP-1 medications
22:31are being used appropriately. And this
22:35has to be addressed. I mean, they does
22:38work, but I don't think enough attention
22:40is being paid in designing studies to
22:43capture how they might be problematic.
22:45But one thing Dr. Shawn says, what I'm
22:48saying is GLP-1 medicines are agonist
22:52receptors, and what they're doing is
22:55turning on a switch in your body, these
22:58GLP receptors, and leaving them on for
23:02way too long. Typically, your body, when
23:05it makes GLP, causing that signal to go
23:08to the receptor, it's short-lived. It's
23:10a pulse. Nature is always best. The
23:13natural strategy of pulsing GLP-1 and
23:17other peptides is the way to go. Yes,
23:20it's a cheaper, simpler, lazier way of
23:24getting results, but it's not a better
23:26way. And it's going to be more dangerous
23:29with more side effects. I'm not trying
23:31to fear-monger. I would not take the
23:32GLP-1 [music] medications. I work with
23:35clients utilizing natural strategies.
23:37And if you're taking GLP-1s, I'm not
23:39going to make you go off of them. I
23:41might ask you to, but I would recommend,
23:44if you're not even going to come to me,
23:45at least get an MRI and see what's going
23:48on inside your body. There's a big
23:49difference between natural GLP-1 and the
23:52synthetic kind that the system is trying
23:55to give you. All right, let's kind of
23:56wrap this up. Let's talk about, finally,
23:58what's really happening when you do all
24:01of this. Module nine, what happens when
24:04the disease flees? One of the biggest
24:06things I found as a researcher, when
24:09disease leaves the body, is that people
24:11look so much better. They feel better,
24:14and they perform better. The fact that
24:16you could improve appearance and
24:18performance so much by limiting disease
24:21completely caught me off guard. I saw
24:24nothing like it in medical school,
24:26residency, or the decades of practicing
24:29medicine before I understood visceral
24:31fat. Let me show you some outside
24:33pictures of a client who came to me,
24:35Joe. He, when he came to me, was exactly
24:37my age, 63. This is Joe. He looks like a
24:40typical 63-year-old guy. Joe was not too
24:43happy with how things were going. He's a
24:45business guy, and a good business guy.
24:48But look at Joe now, just six months
24:50later. No drugs, no steroids, no
24:52hormones, no peptides, no stem cells, no
24:55GLP-1 medication, just all natural
24:58strategies, focusing on what really
25:01matters, targeting visceral fat disease,
25:03fat around his heart, fat in his
25:05muscles, tracking it by MRI until it's
25:08gone, utilizing these approaches. Now,
25:10Joe is smiling. And remember me before I
25:13understood visceral fat, how much I
25:14changed. It's amazing. So, want to share
25:17these photographs with you to let you
25:19know you don't want to lose weight, you
25:21want to lose disease. Remember, I
25:23weighed 165 there and I weigh 178 here,
25:26and today I weigh about 177. So,
25:29significant change because I got rid of
25:32disease. That's what I'm asking you to
25:34do. I could track anything, but this is
25:36what I track because it's the most
25:38important thing to track, visceral fat.
25:40But everything you just heard comes back
25:43to one thing, the visceral fat disease
25:45you can't see, and the fastest way I
25:48know how to get rid of it. I broke it
25:49down in its own video. It's on the
25:52screen right now. Go watch that one
25:55next, and I'll see you over there.
