Joe Rogan - Jordan Peterson's Carnivore Diet Cured His Depression?

Joe: I'm not a nutritionist Jordan: I'm not an expert me: Let's go carnivore diet

What cracks me up is that people can eat fast food and drink alcohol daily and no one says a thing to you ( well most people won’t say anything I should say) but if you fast/ cut alcohol out and or do keto/carnivore.. people become concerned 🧐

I’m no expert also but have suffered from autoimmune disease for 7 years. I have a background in biology and enjoy researching anything. Dove for months into the literature and after seeing 10 doctors in different countries, all of them telling me I was idiopathic, meaning will never find the reason for my autoimmune condition, decided to embark on my own journey to heal. Learned everything there is to learn about leaky gut and paleo diet, molecular decomposition, digestion, etc. After two years of strict paleo and leaky gut treatment, I healed myself. I realized that evolutionary speaking we have not evolved at all in terms of our physiology, for thousands of years we survived on a carnivore and wild plants. Dropped carbs, sugar and alcohol, just meats, dark greens, and gallons of green tea, it worked for me, it’s doable. Best wishes to anyone trying to tackle health issues.

I know this is an old video but I'm also 70 and I lost 18 pounds in one month on Carnivore. I started it for a painful autoimmune I have. Bless the people who are better at this new way of eating. Hoping for my results...

It is sad how many times he has to clarify he's not an expert because of all the people who is waiting for him to make a mistake to attack him

What absolutely astounds me about this clip is how much JP has accomplished while feeling like crap all the time and dealing with clinical depression. I feel like such a loser, there's just no excuse.

I’ve been on the Carnivore diet (only eat fatty meats, bacon, eggs, cheese and butter) for 1 month: I’ve lost 8 pounds, blood glucose went from fasting pre-diabetic to normal fasting blood sugars, sleep much better and sounder, wake up positive and energetic, urinate and BM much less, positive moods, no anxiety or worry, inflammation in leg, arm and heel gone, body and face thinner, skin itchiness (from carbs) gone. It has been amazing. I’m on this for life. I’m age 62.

I just want to say I started this diet almost 2 weeks ago. My friend basically forced me to do it with him and I really didn't want to but I wanted to lose weight, since I gained like 15-20 lbs in the last year or 2. I feel absolutely incredible. Everything he is saying is what I was feeling before. I would sleep for 12+ hours a night then wake up (it would take me a long long time to get out of bed and my body felt heavy, like there were weights all over me) then i couldn't stay awake for more than a few hours before I'd need a nap. I've thought I've had MS for about a year yet, but was never diagnosed bc I honestly couldn't make an appt bc sometimes I wouldnt ever see the light of day and docs close at 5pm. I'm finally going to a doctor this week. But damn! I feel like a new person. I was constantly in pain- body/muscle aches. I just thought it was normal or the result of having F cup breasts. I don't have those pains anymore. And this all started after about 3 days on the diet. Several people have said my skin is glowing. People were always telling me I was just depressed or lazy. Again its only been about 2 weeks on this carnivore diet and I'm just mind blown. I'm very curious to see what happens. I love bread and pasta so much but I'm too scared to eat it now. I never want to go back to how I was feeling. I'll provide updates if anyone cares. I highly highly recommend anyone with autoimmune disorders or depression or whatever to just try it. just try it.

I think Peterson would feel better on a strict diet of elk meat, jalapeños, and DMT.

Would make for a hell of a disclaimer on cider bottles: „Might cause an overwhelming sense of impending doom.“

I started this diet two weeks ago and have lost 10 lbs and feel better. It works, and it is so easy. Thanks.

I watched this and started a carnivore diet the next day. March 2023-July 2023 lost 50lbs. I also walked 1-1.5 hours per day. Depression is gone. I feeI like exercising all the time.

My grandmother was a ginger and developed skin cancer in her 60’s. She had many skin grafts to her face and lost all her hair permanently. After doing chemo and it not helping much but making her feel more sick, she decided to switch her diet to just brown rice and chicken and she immediately felt better. At her next check up her cancer was suddenly in remission. She kept up her diet for 10+ yrs and her cancer was not only cured but never came back. She lived to her 90th birthday when she passed away in her sleep a few days after her party.

Joe, I'm 31 years old, extremely over weight (6" 393 LB) however I was, 4 months ago, 500 lbs. Yes, you read that correctly. only thing change is my diet. Carnivore has saved my life. so many health issues, reversed. Being diabetic and high blood pressure is the main two. It still blows my mind and I still don't understand it. However, according to my health chart, I'm at my best, health wise, more than I've ever been. Thank you, brother

I cut out alcohol, weed, caffeine, junk food, and even medications, started eating natural foods and mostly meats, my depression and anxiety, and even a good percentage of my chronic pain went away.

Dead straight face “Here’s a question. Why is everyone fat and stupid?” 😂😂😂

I tried Keto over three years ago. I woke up one morning cleaned out my pantry and frig. I was very strict and didn’t cheat, four months later, I lost 83 pounds. Yes, four months. I had a very negative response from people. Mostly, from the over weight and miserable people. My husband and kids were very supportive. I went from 213 to 130. I’ve never felt better. And I’m still Keto. You have to do what is right for you.

Day 3/4 felt AMAZING. I’m 42 5’10”. Four days ago weighed in consistently 203-205. Heaviest ever after rough divorce. Four days later, two days in a row, down 8 pounds. Working out with more energy than in years. Just woke up and found my inner goggins to hit a 1 am run. I’m going to hit 170 lbs and find my hs weight plus some muscle (stathom weight/height), but the real reason I’m doing this is to move on from depression, aches, and some recently developed hives. So far moods already through the roof. Thanks JP and other dietary health specialists that have given this a chance/look.

I was on a keto diet and found myself in moments of euphoria and bliss after about 2 months. Also had warts on my hands that shrunk and disappeared. So I would say sugar is the enemy in all forms and has a negative effect on the immune system for sure. I ended up stopping the keto diet due to fear of missing out in life and the warts grew back and my mental health worsened.
