He Laughs At Doctors Telling Him To Cut Meat 💪 | Dr. Shawn Baker & Rick
About this episode
In 2015, Rick, suffering from high blood pressure and poor metabolic health, was put on medication. He later developed aggressive prostate cancer and underwent surgery. Despite being cancer-free, his metabolic health worsened, nearing obesity and showing signs of diabetes. Rick decided to overhaul his diet, transitioning to a ketogenic, then a near-carnivorous diet, following his son's successful weight control regime. His health improved dramatically: he lost 85 pounds, his blood glucose normalized, his hypertension was controlled without medication, and his gout and lactose intolerance disappeared. Despite initial weight loss leading to a slower metabolism, adjusting his meal frequency and focusing on protein intake helped maintain his health. Rick now has a healthier lifestyle, is tested for cancer twice yearly, and attributes his improved health primarily to dietary changes.
