Hey, there are lots of errors in this video and I'd love to have a friendly debate to stream to our channels. We can do it live or recorded. Up for it?

Hey, I'm Jonathan Griffiths, a 28-year-old with a BSc in Human Nutrition from Bournemouth, Dorset. My journey as an amateur bodybuilder has been unique due to a fused spine from a rugby injury at 14 and my autism. Despite these hurdles, I've found incredible success on the carnivore diet over the past four years, after other pain relief methods failed. I have since competed twice as a carnivore bodybuilder, with my recent showing on June 2nd 2024 where I placed first against an extremely competitive line-up. I am going to the British finals to try and earn my pro card. Meanwhile, I have had my spine fused in 2022, and various procedures to try and reduce the pain I am in. The carnivore diet is my only option to try and thrive, and I love it! My diet mainly includes beef, salmon, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, and butter. I avoid fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, oils, and sugars. I drink water, coffee, and bone broth. No calorie counting here, just focusing on around 300 grams of protein and fat each day for the past 4.5 years. In the beginning, I lost 5 pounds and felt a surge in energy, focus, and calmness. I woke up refreshed, with no cravings or GI issues. My workouts stayed strong, with better muscle pumps, vascularity, and faster recovery. The diet eased the pain and stiffness in my spine, giving me more freedom and comfort. It reduced my need for medications and improved my autism-related symptoms, like anxiety and mood swings. My social skills and communication also got better. Blood tests before and after the diet showed my liver and kidney damage from a virus had healed. My cholesterol was stable, blood pressure improved, and blood sugar levels stayed low. My liver and kidney functions were normal, with no nutrient deficiencies or hormonal issues. This diet has been eye-opening, challenging many common dietary beliefs. I've learned that meat is highly nutritious and satisfying, and plants aren't essential or particularly beneficial for me. This is especially relevant given the genetic and metabolic traits seen in people with autism. I've stuck to the carnivore diet, with occasional treats like 'Hot Pot' and Korean BBQ, which I can cook myself at restaurants. On my KZread channel 'Carnivore Muscle,' I share my carnivore lifestyle, training tips, nutritional advice, and recipes, building a community of fellow carnivores and inspiring others to try this way of life. I fully recommend the carnivore diet to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, and well-being, especially fellow bodybuilders and those with spinal conditions or autism. In my view, it's the best way to enhance both body and mind. 💪🥩🚀

watching Now. ENJOY listening and see you all. PEACE from IOWA!

I'm 37 and I started my TRT journey a little over a year ago. Whe. We first checked my numbers they were at like 150 and then dripped again after getting them checked. So I think it's a good thing to get checked. The range is like 264 to 915..somewhere around there. It's all about balance.

@TotalFitnessBodybuilding so they ended up increasing my dosage and I got a referral to a specialist because they are thinking that there might be something else going on that is effecting the testosterone. So yea it has helped and helped discover what might be an underlying issue. I go back in month for my next panel check to see how much the increase dosage has helped.

I had extremely low T for over 5 months, but it's gradually going back up. The doctor prescribed me HCG to help boost my natural testosterone production. Illness, nutrition etc can crash your testosterone levels. It happened to me due to bile issues, I became malnourished. It can take up to a year for your testosterone levels to recover

Like they say your neva too old to start anything right enjoyed your podcast Lee great stuff 👍

Good info. Just for my clarification, when you did carnivore you also did the prolonged fasting? Did you ever follow carnivore without the fasting?

I'm pretty sure Mike did carnivore with intermittent fasting. For myself and Jeff we both did keto without intermittent fasting, but we also ate some fibrous carbs in the form of green vegetables, took fiber supplements, etc. so it was just a low carb diet, not a carnivore diet. But even with that it wasn't sustainable and certainly didn't help improve our strength or muscle gains. All 3 of us made our best progress in terms of fat loss, strength, and muscle gains by eating a well balanced diet that included carbs, protein, and healthy fats from both animal and plant based foods.
