Happy Thanksgiving, Maurice!!
@Maurice Daher Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration. I (and I believe all other SKOOL classmates will agree with me) are most thankful for you and all the guidance and education you have given us. You also provide me with much joy by sharing your two unbelievably beautiful pups, Duke and Kash! Warms my heart! 🤗 May GOD continue to watch over you, the pups and your family as well as shower you with blessings and good health! 🙏

High DHEA-S
Hello Maurice! Hoping you’re well @Maurice Daher I mostly find info for a low DHEA-S, but how about one that is elevated for a female? It was elevated long before carnivore, and it didn’t really change a year in. My other hormones: testosterone, prolactin, SHBG are all good and within the range, and of course, insulin is also good and low after going low carb. So this made me think that it’s really more an adrenal/nervous system issue, rather than a sex hormones issue. I wanted to have a 1-1 consultation with you about this, but I thought it would be good to ask for your input first, if I need to visit the endocrinologist for any specific tests, or if I should change something before my next test. Appreciate your input as always🧡

@Maurice Daher Thank you very much, Maurice! I'll visit an endocrinologist and definitely sit down with you afterward. For now, my DHEA-S has stayed around 500–510 µg/dL for the past five years, regardless of diet. I'm 24, so this is above the reference range for my age group (under 400 µg/dL). I haven't experienced the elevated cortisol symptoms you mentioned. As for elevated androgens, my only symptom was severe cystic acne, which resolved on carnivore. I still get minor breakouts when my recovery is poor, making me feel that my hormonal balance remains sensitive to stress. Otherwise, my periods are regular, normal, and even pain-free on carnivore. I don't have any other androgen-related symptoms. Do you think caffeine is an important factor I should take seriously? I'm also considering other factors that might affect adrenal function, such as overtraining. I'm thinking of replacing my crazy gym routine with simpler, less frequent calisthenics sessions, as I've noticed they don't negatively affect my recovery metrics. Or honestly, a good break is something I didn't do all this time :)

🥩 HOMEWORK: Is Your Carnivore Diet Actually Complete?
After watching The Carnivore Nutrient Deficiency Switch, I want you to audit what you're actually eating, not simply call it “carnivore.” Your homework 👇 🥩 1. List the animal foods you ate over the last 3 days. Beef? Eggs? Dairy? Seafood? Sardines? Pork? Liver? Shellfish? 🧂 2. What type of salt are you using? Iodized or non-iodized? 🔍 3. Which ONE nutrient from the video surprised you most? Magnesium? Thiamin? Calcium? Vitamin C? Iodine? Something else? 💡 BONUS: Is there one animal food you could add or rotate to broaden your nutrient coverage before automatically reaching for another supplement? Post your answers below. 👇 Remember: “Carnivore” tells me the label. Your food tells me the biology. Eat Based On Your Biology, Not Ideology™ 🧬🥩

1. Rare Ribeyes, slow cooked collagen rich cuts of goat, goat heart, bone marrow, egg yolks, and butter. YUM! 2. Non-iodized 3. Calcium and Thiamin 4. Maybe Sardines, but I’m not a big fan of sea food :)
What Has Carnivore Actually Taught You About Your Own Body?
One thing I’ve learned after years around carnivore is that the diet itself is only part of the story. Two people can eat almost the same foods and have completely different experiences. One person feels better with more fat. Another feels heavy, nauseated, or gets loose stools. One sleeps better. Another starts waking up in the middle of the night. One sees amazing triglycerides and glucose, while another watches ApoB climb. One does perfectly well with beef and salt for a while, while another eventually starts noticing issues with magnesium, iodine, digestion, energy, or recovery. That is why I keep coming back to the same idea: Eat Based On Your Biology, Not Ideology™ I’m curious about your experience. Not what you think carnivore is supposed to do. What has your own body actually taught you? Has your biggest lesson been about: fat intake, sleep, energy, electrolytes, digestion, bloodwork, weight loss, fasting, stress, or something completely different? For me, the longer I study this, the less interested I become in asking whether carnivore is “good” or “bad.” I’m much more interested in the pattern. What changed? What improved? What became harder? What did you have to adjust? Sometimes the most useful lesson is not that a diet worked or failed. It’s that your body gave you feedback and you learned how to listen to it. So I’d love to hear from everyone: What is the single biggest thing carnivore has taught you about your own biology? There is no right answer here. I think this could be a really interesting discussion because we may start seeing patterns across the group that are easy to miss when we only look at our own experience.

- I learned just how much the body is capable of healing and restoring when we give it what it truly needs. I’ve seen changes I once thought were impossible, and it completely changed the way I see the body’s capacity to recover. - I learned how to truly listen to my body. Removing so much of the “noise” made me incredibly in tune with subtle changes; my sleep, heart rate, energy, mood. I started noticing patterns, understanding what my body was telling me, and becoming much better at finding the root of a problem instead of simply treating the symptom. - I learned what it feels like to finally live in a quiet mind. After years of a mix of mood disorders, anxiety, and panic attacks, discovering that my mind could actually feel this calm, clear, and peaceful was something I never thought I’d experience. - I learned that my woman body doesn’t have to mean constantly struggling like what they normalized. Painful periods, debilitating PMS, extreme fatigue, heavy bleeding, low iron, and feeling unwell every month are not "normal.” - Not body but mindest on this point, I became deeply skeptical :) I started questioning everything; conventional stuff, mainstream health information, and even treatments I once trusted. Sometimes that realization makes me angry, and sometimes makes me remember people I have lost to medical misinformation. But we always learn, and hopefully influence as much loved ones as we can on the journey. And honestly… I could go on and on. It’s been quite a journey!
Lugol’s Iodine
@Maurice Daher it’s been a while! Hoping all is well. Do you recommend supplementing with iodine without a lot of thyroid symptomes? I’m confused because I’ve seen people in the low carb space saying that we’re all so deficient and we need to supplement. I consume no sea food. My n=1 experience so far was that I reacted badly at first, but I’ve seen iodine experts saying that the more defiecnt you are, the more you’ll react at first. I slowly then increased the dose and did a salt loading protocol as well. A few things I’ve noticed: - I’m able to eat more per meal, and fats specifically (I tend to undereat and struggle to increase my fat intake). - My LDL went from 500s to 300s. I concluded that iodine is supporting my thyroid function and hence, improving the LDL clearance receptors. Was expiremnting for 2 months now.

@Maurice Daher Thanks a lot for the detailed response! I don’t think I have changed other variables during those months. Unfortunately, before iodine, I only have TSH, which was almost always on the lower-end at 0.3-0.4 After supplementing, I asked for the full thyroid panel: - TSH increased to 2.1 - FT4 = 1.15 ng/dL (optimal) - FT3 = 3.26 pg/ml (optimal) - Antibodies: almost 0 Dose: I took 1 drop of the 2% every other day Dietary iodine: dairy and eggs. No iodized salt or sea food. I would still need to re-test the thyroid and lipid panels again to see the trend overtime. I kind of stopped supplementing with iodine these days.
