Day 51 of the carnivore diet for me, and I have to say more good things to report. I continue to feel great. I continue to, I say, lose weight. I haven't weighed, and I will weigh the next time I go to the office, and I'll update you on that. But my body is definitely changing. My clothes are fitting looser. In fact, I ordered some new clothes recently and ordered a size smaller. When they came in, I actually have to send them back and order two sizes smaller than what I normally wear.

My body is feeling more muscular, and workouts are, I don't know that I would say easier, but I am feeling stronger. I would definitely describe it that way and seeing more muscle definition, but I just feel great. My outlook on life is better. I feel more like my youthful self. I'm laughing more, smiling more, enjoying life more. I just can't say enough good things about the carnivore diet. Day 51. My skin is softer and it's so simple.

I truly eat primarily ribeye steak or ground beef, eggs, butter, and salt, a lot of salt, high quality salt. I drink coffee still. It seems like whenever I veer outside of those things I just mentioned, it's not awful, but I don't, I just don't feel as good. I don't feel as mentally sharp. I don't feel like I'm thinking as quickly. I just don't feel the energy I do when I stick with those things I just mentioned. Now, I don't think that'll be my only components to what I eat for the rest of my life, but right now, I'm going to stick with this and I'll keep you posted as I add in other things.

Also, I want to say that this is not medical advice, obviously. Absolutely not medical advice, and I'm not even recommending it to my patients, and I'm not recommending to you that you go on the carnivore diet. But I am suggesting that you check into the carnivore diet if you think it's something you might want to explore. I have told a few of my patients, selectively, to try it and you know, this is not a dramatic change from what I was doing in that I've been recommending to my patients.

I've been practicing eating a high protein diet, what some might consider a high protein diet, but prioritizing protein into our lives. Most of us are not getting adequate protein. When we don't, we can't maintain or build muscle. We can't adequately optimize our hormones and our brain isn't functioning as well.

There are so many reasons to make sure that we're getting enough protein in our diet. I shoot for about one gram of protein per day to ideal body weight. So not the weight that you are now if you're wanting to lose weight or gain weight, but what is your ideal body weight? Start moving towards one gram of protein daily for each pound of body weight, whatever your ideal body weight is.

So that being said, I've been recommending that for a long time to patients and focusing on real food with meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, high quality oils only, such as olive oil or avocado oil or butter or beef tallow, collagen, bone broth. Primarily, those are the things that I recommend patients eat from.

Dairy can be tricky. It kind of depends on the individual and on the type of dairy. I definitely recommend whole milk or full fat dairy, not low fat, ever. Anyway, that being said, I've eliminated all of that except for the foods that I mentioned earlier, meat and eggs and butter.

And I do occasionally have half and half or cream, but not every day, not regularly. I do think that I feel a little less energy when I have half and half or cream in my coffee.

I'm definitely improving my body composition. I love the way that my body is looking and feeling and the way my body is serving me. It's just stronger and I love it. I absolutely love this carnivore lifestyle. It's simple and it feels so good. Love the way my clothes are fitting and looking and that I'm needing smaller sizes.

I highly recommend you check into it. Certainly, this is not medical advice, but this is working out really well for me and I can't imagine that I'm going to change from it. I don't want sweets. I don't want vegetables. I'm not tempted by fruit. This is so satisfying and just lovely. I can't say enough good things about it.

Hi everyone and welcome to my YouTube channel. I'm Dr. Gina Pritchard, and I help people live their entire life without a heart attack.

Whether you've had your first heart attack and you're trying to avoid a second or even a third, or you haven't had a heart attack but aren't positive that you are not at risk, then this channel is for you.
You see, everyone can know, and I believe deserves to know, if they're headed for a heart attack or not.

We don't want you to head straight for a heart attack, whether it's next year, or in five years, or in thirty years. You want to know now where you stand.

0:42 The Importance of Complete Cardiovascular Evaluation
There are at least five tests that you probably haven't had. I say most people that have been evaluated for cardiovascular disease risk for heart attack risk, their workup has not been inaccurate. It's just been incomplete.

0:57 Benefits of Heart-Healthy Living
So, listen to my channel and learn everything you need to know about not only living a life free from the crisis that can occur from cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack, stroke, dementia, diabetes, but also because this information, if it's good for your heart, I say it's good for the body. It's good for the heart. It's good for the brain. It's good for the body. It's good for every cell in your body. And so with this information, not only will you protect yourself from the top killer, but you will create the body that you want and the future that you want, because truly at the core, this is longevity medicine.

1:32 Personalized Holistic Approach to Prevention
This is prevention medicine. This is precision medicine and it's holistic. It isn't just prescribing medications. No. It's a thorough evaluation, a thorough understanding on your part of what's going on inside your body and then specific recommendations for you that really are not that hard. And they're going to help you feel better. And as I said, create the body and the future that you want.

Skip Your Next Heart Attack: Day 1 Cardiac Clarity

Let's talk cardiac clarity because I think a lot of people need to get clear on just heart disease in general. But one of the things that you say that I love is that their evaluation is not inaccurate. It's just incomplete.
Most people that come to see us have not had a complete test panel or a complete evaluation to even know if they're headed for a heart attack or not. Most people have had their cholesterol, their blood pressure, maybe their body weight, possibly a stress test. However, you need to understand fully if you have plaque in the coronary arteries of the heart, you need to know if you have insulin and glucose related issues. You need to know if you have bacteria in your mouth. If your oxygen level is dropping day or night, and you need to know about inflammation, very specific blood tests telling us about inflammation in the arteries.
So, if you haven't had all 5 of those tests. It doesn't even matter if you've had your blood pressure checked. Yeah, that tells you you have a risk factor for a heart attack, but it doesn't tell you: are you headed for a heart attack or not? You can know, but you have to have a complete test evaluation, including at least those five tests I mentioned.

Heart Attack: Are Your Hot or Not?
So, let's walk through the five tests. What are the five tests?
1) CT Coronary Angiogram
You need a specific CAT scan, a CT coronary angiogram with artificial intelligence analysis. As I would say, this is that ooey gooey plaque that's in the wall of your arteries.
2) Sleep Study
You need a sleep study, a home sleep study to start with. And I would say that's if you're being, find out if you're being strangled in the middle of the night, all night long.
3) Saliva Test
You need your saliva tested. You need to spit in a tube and send that to the lab. So, you need to find out, do you have bacteria and viruses lurking in your mouth?
4) Blood Test Evaluation
You need a thorough blood test evaluation, continuous glucose monitor, and a finger stick machine at home to thoroughly understand your metabolic health. How is your insulin and glucose communication? Do you have insulin resistance, prediabetes, full blown diabetes, and don't even know it? You're raging, starving, hungry, you need to eat, and then you're over there taking a nap? Or, as you say, Dr. Pritchard, a sugar burner or a fat burner.
5) Inflammatory Markers
You need a thorough blood test evaluation. Specifically, you need to understand inflammation. And there are inflammatory markers that can be tested in the blood, help us understand if you have arteries that are inflamed, which is what leads to a heart attack.
So, this is the truth serum. What's really going on inside? Are you hot or not?
