When Sue started on the carnivore diet, she found that her journey wasn't straightfoward, and soon realised that many others were also quietly struggling, but getting help wasn't always easy. So she created this community as a place for Carnivores, whether they need help or just want to connect with others.
I just learned something really interesting. I'm watching a video with Dr Boz on 5 minute body and Dr Boz said that when insulin is high, it tells the body to store Vitamin D along with sex hormones in the fat cells.
She said this is why those with diabetes who are using insulin and those with insulin resistance can't get their vitamin D levels up.
I'd also heard very recently on an interview with Dr Stephen Cherniske that low vitamin D can be due to low DHEA.
Is it both?
It makes sense that it's due to a malfunctioning endocrine system being that it's a hormone. I'm wondering if both are correct?
My vitamin D levels have been low for years - even when I was living in sunny Queensland and on the beach every day! My D levels were a bit higher at the end of last year when they were tested, but were lower again when done just recently. I guess because I'm still overweight, that means I still have an insulin problem, even though it's no doubt improving and my DHEA levels are probably also low.
I'm wondering if the carnivore diet increases DHEA. From the results that most people get, I'd say it must do.
This was dinner cooking last night but I was so hungry I forgot to video the second part of the video... 😂
We had chicken nibbles in the Ninja. It was amazing!
30 minutes on air crisp in the Ninja for the nibbles and about 20 minutes on the grill for the rump steak.
A couple of slices of cheese and some fermented Daikon. So good! 😋
I woke up at 3am today and was lying in bed unable to sleep. I was thinking about what to do with this Locals group. It's been on my mind a LOT as it's not really doing what I'd hoped and there's so little going on here. A conversation between two members is nice, but it doesn't quite create that community feel. I really feel bad that a few people are paying for this...
I have to admit that didn't quite understand how Locals worked when I set this up, and I now realise I jumped in too fast. I've just worked out how to email this to you all (I hope... 😅)
Here on Locals, those who aren't supporters aren't able to comment or participate on posts or see live video, and with a Basic plan (due to member numbers) I can't even make it free for people. So I've found myself feeling pressure to do 'something' to make things happen.
I think this was bad timing on my part.
So I made the decision early this morning to set up a group on Facebook to replace this one, which is of course free for all who ...
I'm hoping to do a live stream later today all going well. I have a bit to do, but I want to have a chat about this group so if not today, then tomorrow.
It's been on my mind a lot and I'm not sure I've chosen the right platform or perhaps I just jumped in too fast... Anyway, I'll share my thoughts later when I've got a bit of time. 🤔
