Dropping 28 Medications and 186 Pounds | Dr. Shawn Baker & Annie

Annie has been on the carnivore diet for three years. She started the diet to help manage her type one diabetes, and to gain control of her life. Her weight had skyrocketed to over 340lbs, and despite having tried many different diets to break the cycle of weight gain, her diabetes worsened. Annie has cerebral palsy and a rare genetic condition that also affects her joints and muscles, adding to the complexity of her body. Annie is also a mother of a full care special needs child, and a wife to an amazing husband, that has taught her to never give up. Annie has been a type one diabetic since the age of five, and has struggled with life- long weight management and the negatives that come with severe diabetes. Taking just shy of 990units of insulin a day, the sheer heights of high blood pressure, neuropathy, loss of her cycle (PCOS), and significant bleeding behind both of her eyes, skin ulcers, and chronic systemic yeast (due to sugar and vegetables, and fruit chemicals) these were just some of the things that had begun to control Annie's life on a daily basis.

Carnivore has helped Annie gain control of once out of control type one diabetes, and some of the other complications she faced. Annie is now down to taking between 3 and 11 units of insulin a day; her cycle has come back and normalized, the bleeding has paused behind her eyes, and she is now down 186 lbs.
