How Influencers Use Fear-Based Language to Flog Their Latest Product Right then, let’s talk about something that’s been grinding my gears lately. You know those influencers who’ve suddenly discovered that fear sells better than facts? The ones who’ve realised that a bit of strategic scaremongering can shift more supplements than actual science ever could? Well, grab a cup of bone broth (or a ribeye), because we’re about to dissect the linguistic gymnastics these lot employ to bypass your prefrontal cortex and head straight for your wallet.

Nina Teicholz. She explains it well the why it’s not so great… Sadly the institutions still suffer. So it’s a very tiny step in the right direction.. Now if we can just get away from the necessity of the law to follow a food guide https://open.substack.com/pub/unsettledscience/p/butter-is-not-back-the-broken-promise?r=5154el&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

I would be curious to know what your why is for adopting a carnivore lifestyle? Did it start as something different from what it is now? For me I struggled for years with obesity. Then I had gastric bypass surgery in 2007. Two years after that I developed post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia. For years, I had no idea what it was or how to treat it, all I knew was that it just kept getting worse. I never got an official diagnosis, but after years of researching my symptoms, I finally found the name for what I had. Then in 2016, I went on a ketogenic diet to lose weight (I had gotten back up to 195 pounds at 5'3"). It was during that time that I discovered the link between diet and controlling the RH symptoms. That worked for a long time, and my reactions became less and less frequent. Then I tried to add some more carbohydrates back in... mostly to get more fiber since I was also battling with chronic constipation. None of that helped. In 2013 and 2021, I had bowel obstructions that required surgery, and in 2021, I actually lost an additional length of my bowel. I have no duodenum whatsoever, so malabsorption is a big issue for me. I tried paleo and Whole30, and those were okay... but I still was having issues. Then on Thanksgiving 2024 I had a paleo meal.... something I had eaten many times... it was very meat-heavy, hardly any carbohydrates really... just a bit of plain sweet potato with butter and cinnamon, turkey, and some green beans. A meal that should have been totally fine.... HOWEVER... I had one of the worst RH reactions ever. It was after that I gave up carbs completely... at least for the next 3 of 4 months. I have been able to test and add a few non-carnivore things back in, but I am now 98% carnivore and I feel the best I ever have! No more constipation, no more psoriasis, no more bleeding gums... ADHD.... and best of all, no more hypoglycemia episodes, which came along with a lovely dose of neuroglycopenia. I will never go back to my old way of eating!

Can someone point me towards information to reassure me that this way of eating isn't causing my stones? It's been since October (3 months in) and showing no signs of stopping. Whenever I look into it, ketosis/meat is blamed. Thank you! I pee SO MUCH, and the blood in my urine (not much, but there) upsets me.
