   100 Pounds Overweight and Congestive Heart Failure: Kerry Mann’s Carnivore Transformation

   Kerry Mann is a filmmaker, homesteader, and creator of Homestead How, a YouTube channel with more than 375,000 subscribers and 60 million views. After years of serious health struggles, he says adopting a carnivore diet changed his life—and his relationship with food. Here's what we explore: Kerry's struggles with chronic illness, a TIA, congestive heart failure, and nearly 15 medications The first changes he noticed after starting carnivore, from sleep to digestion and inflammation How years of keto, binge eating, guilt, and fasting shaped his relationship with food Why he says his cravings and food noise eventually became much quieter How he reports that his heart function improved and his medications were reduced with his doctors' help The personal stories, 60 interviews, and nine medical experts behind Healing Humanity Why Kerry wants to create more documentary content about food addiction and eating disorder recovery Kerry's experience is personal, and his results do not establish carnivore as right for everyone. This conversation explores his story, the questions it raises, and the people he hopes to reach through his documentary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come to the Meat & Movement Retreat in Costa Rica! https://www.MeatandMovement.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Beyond Binge Eating Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/BeyondBingeEating/ Website: https://www.BeyondBingeEating.com Newsletter: https://beyondbingeeating.com/Newsletter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grab your FREE Eat-With-Awareness Bundle to slow down, stay present, and reclaim peace with food: https://beyondbingeeating.com/opt-in/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep in touch with Kristina: https://www.DrKristinaDobyns.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit Kerry’s YouTube Channel, HomeSteadHow, here: https://www.youtube.com/c/homesteadhow (https://www.youtube.com/c/homesteadhow) Visit Healing Humanity and watch the documentary here: https://healinghumanity.movie/ (https://healinghumanity.movie/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:06 – 100 Pounds Overweight, IBS, Depression, and Heart Failure 02:38 – Discovering Carnivore After Years of Health Struggles 05:44 – Starting a 30-Day Carnivore Experiment 06:30 – The First Changes: Sleep, Digestion, Pain, and Inflammation 08:42 – Why He Continued Beyond 30 Days 09:49 – Blood Work, Nearly 15 Medications, and Reported Health Improvements 11:23 – Years of Binge Eating, Strict Keto, and Fasting 12:59 – How Carnivore Changed His Relationship With Food 14:35 – Food Noise, Cravings, and Feeling Free Around Food 17:00 – Gut Health, Acid Reflux, and Barrett's Esophagus 23:00 – Other Changes Beyond Diet and Food 34:46 – Gratitude, Mindset, and Building New Habits 38:43 – Creating Healing Humanity: 60 Interviews and Nine Experts 44:02 – Future Plans: A Series on Food Addiction and Eating Disorders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The information on this channel is for educational purposes and is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or therapy.

   Recovery Is More Than Food: Kelsey Buchalter on Calming the Nervous System and Finding Your Why

   Kelsey Buchalter is a Nutrition Network Practitioner, Metabolic Health Coach, Sankofa Peer Recovery Coach, TEDx speaker, and host of The Human Theater Podcast. After experiencing severe anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and digestive issues, she became an advocate for exploring metabolic health and lifestyle interventions in eating disorder recovery. Kelsey shares how changing her nutrition helped her feel as though her brain was “turning back on,” while musical theater, creativity, and meaningful work helped her reconnect with herself. We discuss why recovery extends beyond food to include nervous system regulation, identity, rest, relationships, and purpose. Here's what we explore: Why Kelsey considers the carnivore diet a turning point in her recovery The connection between metabolic and mental health How stress affects nourishment and the body’s ability to heal When health optimization begins to resemble restriction Using creativity and purpose to reconnect with yourself Why asking for help is an act of courage The “blue dog and red dog” metaphor for feeding your authentic self Recovery is deeply individual. Kelsey’s story offers a powerful reminder to keep nurturing the parts of yourself connected to passion, purpose, community, and life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come to the Meat & Movement Retreat in Costa Rica! https://www.MeatandMovement.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Beyond Binge Eating Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/BeyondBingeEating/ Website: https://www.BeyondBingeEating.com Newsletter: https://beyondbingeeating.com/Newsletter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grab your FREE Eat-With-Awareness Bundle to slow down, stay present, and reclaim peace with food: https://beyondbingeeating.com/opt-in/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep in touch with Kristina: https://www.DrKristinaDobyns.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Kelsey on Instagram: @kelseybuchalter Visit Kelsey’s Podcast here: The Human Theatre Podcast (Spotify) (https://open.spotify.com/show/0kXrqL9gzQofnlpQWK5R1D) The Human Theatre Podcast (Apple) (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-human-theatre/id1625694010) Watch Kelsey’s TEDx Presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va05yomUTqQ) and Makhulu Docu-interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-M6HD5EO0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Kelsey’s eating disorder recovery story 02:10 The nutrition experiment that changed her direction 03:06 How her mental clarity began to shift 04:32 Why recovery is multifactorial 06:17 Meeting the health coach who introduced carnivore 08:27 IBS, gluten, and conventional treatment 11:25 The biological and emotional sides of recovery 13:14 Finding her voice through musical theater 15:16 Why passion and purpose matter 18:50 The nervous system’s role in recovery 19:30 When health optimization becomes orthorexia 22:34 Why a stressed body cannot heal 25:16 What would your symptoms say? 28:24 Practical ways to slow down 30:38 Music, singing, and nervous system regulation 30:59 The panic attack before Kelsey’s TEDx talk 33:53 Creating space away from screens 36:05 Moving beyond black-and-white thinking 37:32 Can the carnivore diet become disordered? 39:06 The body as hardware and psychology as software 40:46 Supporting clients without dietary dogma 44:24 Lifestyle, metabolism, and chronic illness 46:27 Creativity as a mental health check-in 49:07 Psychodrama and embodied healing 53:44 Kelsey’s advice for anyone struggling 54:45 The blue dog and red dog metaphor 55:28 Where to connect with Kelsey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The information on this channel is for educational purposes and is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or therapy.
