Tell me about Cole.
Great guy in his mid-60s, had had lifelong depression and anxiety. Went to a psychiatry specialty clinic and he left the clinic with three diagnoses: depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and three prescriptions. His depression got a lot better but was becoming manic. He turned to marijuana, developed marijuana addiction. Now he's got another problem. So he took himself off the medications, and said, "You know, medications are not for me." Started cycling. Bikes over a 100 miles a week, and didn't completely resolve all of the symptoms but it brought them down to a very manageable level. He'd never tried any dietary changes before. As he entered his 60s, the depression and anxiety started to rise in the background. He would walk sometimes 8, even 25 miles, to try to get rid of this excess energy. And he said, "I don't have time for this. I can't exercise enough to keep my symptoms under control." So he starts searching online for solutions. Tried the carnivore diet for my anxiety: 3 to 4 lb of fatty meat per day, mostly pork and beef. This was dairy free, no plants. He started to prove by Week #3. By Week #6, his score was zero on all his depression and anxiety scales. He had no symptoms, and not just of those recent extreme symptoms that he was experiencing but the symptoms that went back his entire life that had never completely resolved before. "I've never felt this well in my entire life." This is the power of these strategies is they don't just reduce symptoms a little bit, [they] actually have the power to heal the underlying problem in ways that . . . I mean this is a phrase I've heard so many times," I feel better than I ever felt in my entire life." You don't hear that when you prescribe medications for people generally. --Georgia Ede.
