A History of Health Struggles

• 💔 Cameron details a long history of severe health issues, including GERD, esophagitis, stage four endometriosis, PCOS, and a life-threatening septic infection in 2017.
• 🏥 This septic infection led to a month-long hospital stay, including 10 days in the ICU, and left her unable to walk, relying on a walker and cane.
• 🚶‍♀️ She experienced significant physical decline, including hair loss, joint dislocations (knees and hips), and chronic dizziness, making everyday activities extremely difficult.
• 🩺 Many doctors were unable to diagnose or effectively treat her complex conditions, often resorting to broad diagnoses like fibromyalgia.

The Carnivore Diet Experiment

• 🥩 Cameron began experimenting with the carnivore diet out of desperation after trying numerous other treatments and supplements without lasting success.
• 🍽️ Initially, she tried a more limited version during Lent, which showed some benefits like reduced joint pain but didn't resolve her issues, especially when she reintroduced other foods.
• 🥩 This time, she committed to a stricter carnivore diet, focusing heavily on beef and fat, which has been different from her previous attempt.
• ⚖️ She notes that while many people use carnivore for weight loss, her focus has been on gaining strength and weight, which she has successfully achieved, gaining 10 pounds.

Current Diet and Benefits

• 🥩 Her current diet primarily consists of beef (ribeye, ground beef), butter, and occasional eggs, with a focus on high fat intake.
• 🧈 She consumes a significant amount of butter daily, finding it crucial for satiety and energy.
• ☕ While strict carnivore often excludes coffee, she includes it occasionally with butter, and uses dandelion tea as a coffee replacement.
• 💧 She emphasizes the importance of hydration and has increased her salt intake, particularly due to POTS symptoms.
