Kris's Story

T
H

Therapeutic

I don't have a care or oversight team and wasn't taking meds for any of my conditions as I was managing them with other nutritional strategies such as turmeric and avoiding certain foods like gluten.

I

Integration

No lab tests. Once I realised that the ketogenic diet I was following was probably helping mitochondrial function, I started to also take various supplements such as Q10 to further help.

N

Nutritional

I did 3 months strict carnivore. Ruminant meat mainly, drinking only water. After the first 3 months I reintroduced good black coffee in the mornings and vodka on the occasional evening. If we went out to eat I'd opt for some form of meat only such as chicken wings grilled & perhaps ordering 3 portions. I have followed the 16:8 IF protocol for several years and continue to do so. No carbs initially but in the last few months I've concorporated very small amounts of home made sauerkraut for gut health. I aim to consume about 1000g of ruminant meat/day along with goats butter to taste. Flavoured with rock salt.

K

Ketosis

I don't test for ketones as I don't see the point. I do however have a sweet taste in my mouth most/all of the time which I believe is indicative of being in ketosis.

S

Sleep

I always get at least 10 mins morning sunlight (dog walk). Lights off at around 9-10pm. Wake up around 5-6am. No blue light blocking but screens set to night mode from 6pm.

M

Move

Kettlebells. 4-5x week. 100 single arm swings & 10 Turkish get-ups each time. Currently at 32kg kettlebell weight. Looking to slowly progress up to 48 kg over the next few years. Some running, usually 20-30 mins, 2-3x /week.

A

Avoid

Never smoked. Drink far too much vodka but balance that with at least 3 months "off" at least 1x year. Do my utmost to avoid stress as it does flare up my psoriatic arthritis. Limit pork as it can reignite psoriasis. I used to drink beer but stopped when I gave up gluten 10 years ago. Stopped organic red wine when I started on carnivore.

R

Rebuild

Emotional resilience, hmm... I find that daily cold plunges tend to have a calming effect on my personality. I try to meditate for 3-6 minutes after my daily Wim Hof breathing but not sure if that helps. makes me feel like I'm doing something productive though.

T

Track

I don't use any objective metrics other than bodyfat measuring scales. I'd like to but they are either too expensive for what they are or too much "faff" in my opinion. Subjectively, I can feel when my inflammatory levels are low as my joints, especially in my hands, don't feel tight/swollen. That happens after the Wim Hof breathing, sauna, Tai Chi or after taking raw turmeric juice or powder (which I no longer do since going carnivore).
