Why Electrolytes are Imbalanced on a Carnivore Diet, and Steps to Heal
In this episode, I emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to health, focusing on diet as the foundation. I outline the benefits of a carnivore or all-meat elimination diet, explaining how it helps reduce inflammation and provides the most bioavailable form of nutrients. I also discuss the importance of maintaining a proper electrolyte balance, which can become disrupted on a carnivore or low-carb keto diet, leading to issues such as leg cramps and restless leg syndrome. Additionally, I touch on addressing gut health and environmental factors like mold and chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). I also highlight the crucial role of a positive mindset and stress reduction in healing, advocating for a comprehensive, root-cause approach that empowers you to achieve long-term wellness and healing.
I discuss the following:

Mind-Body: I started carnivore over 3 years ago now, and within 3 weeks, my outlook on life completely changed, just from the diet. I went into carnivore kind of unsure. I was hopeful that it would help a little, but it ended up helping a LOT. It changed my life. Within 3 weeks, my severe depression vanished, so my view of life changed naturally, because of the diet. Even my taste in music changed and my clothing style changed because my view of life changed, plus I wasn't bloated anymore.

There is more to great health than diet all though critical. As a mineral technician I have studied minerals as it relates to health for 25yrs. Through a specialized hair mineral profile the details show the mineral imbalances in the tissues not the blood. When I started I had A-fib of the heart and after about a year the condition completely reversed. I was so blessed to have found this protocol. I am affiliated with Analytical Research labs in Phoenix AZ. It changed my life along with carnivore diet. I like Judy and her approach.
Judy, this is a thorough and wonderful summary of a wellness journey. Because of you I am now on the Shoemaker Protocol for CIRS. When you first spoke of CIRS I felt upset because I wholly believed a clean carnivore diet and wellness mindset would heal my body. I was wishing at that time that you would not be going off on tributaries away from the mainstay of clean carnivore and strategies for a wellness mindset. Both are foundational, but as you well note, may not be the full set of steps needed for perfect health. I wanted perfect health, yes even in my 60's! I did not want to hear about more causes--but time is a powerful teacher and after enough time I knew I had to go back and listen to your CIRS series (I had only listened to one talk). My eyes and ears were opened now and I could hear the information and knew in my gut that this was me. Thank you for bringing the CIRS information to the forefront for those of us who did not fully heal on a carnivore diet combined with mind-body practices. You are a true gift in the healing community. Thank you Judy.

"Don't be scared of healing" that is wonderfully expressed..
I recently discovered that adding Redmond Relyte to my water daily has a dramatic improvement on my sleep quality. I track my sleep with an Oura ring and all my metrics were pretty poor from time to fall asleep, staying asleep, resting heart rate, and HRV. Added the Redmon Relyte to my water, 1 scoop per 1 liter of water and drinking 2-3 per day based on activities, and within a day my sleep metric all improved dramatically, going from poor to great according to my Oura ring tracker. No other changes than that. I even tested to see if I would still sleep if I strength trained in the evening instead of morning, and I still slept great this way. So, for me at least, low carb/carnivore requires added electrolytes in a fairly high quantity.
Always kind, impartial and practical. Thank you! 🙏🏻

I have been on Carnivore for 70 days and the only downside is I cannot balance my minerals. So many report no problem with minerals on carnivore and don't have to worry about it. All the advice I've seen so far is less water, more water, less salt, more salt, take supplements don't take supplements. None of it working. I want to stick with it but am also tempted to add some carbs back in. Is there another way or another issue that could be causing it? What are the natural ways of treating ADH issues? Does a lot of sitting and little exercise make it worse? What if you don't have symptoms like excessive thirst or running to the bathroom a lot? ADH testing in New Zealand is also part of a wider CIRS test and is very expensive as it needs to go overseas for testing. Also requires an initial consultation before they will agree to do it. Thanks Judy for bringing this up as no one else has 😀

Took my a while to figure out it was the LMNT causing my problem because I was feeling very good otherwise on it. You might try ascorbic acid- just a little.

I take high blood pressure meds. I think that is why I get cramps and have an imbalance. I bought some potassium supplements that I carry around with me. I will take one when I get a (legs & feet) cramp. Also, I carry the electrolyte drops in my purse. I put about 10 drops in my water bottle and it makes me feel better. I am going to keep going because some family members hadn’t seen me in a couple weeks, and they said that I lost a lot of weight. I told them I only lost 12 pounds, but I lost a lot of inches. It’s worth keeping going to me. When I get to my goal, I will start adding a piece of fruit and a little vegetables.

New subscriber here, this is the first time I have watched your video. This video has a lot to take in, and I think I need to watch it about 3 times. I am in a rural area in the Philippines, and I am retired here from the U.S. with my husband who is Filipino. We have been here 14 years. My husband who is 85 just had a VP Shunt put in because we found out he has NPH and dementia but was misdiagnosed with Parkinsons for several years. I discovered Keto and Carnivore last year. I started with Keto and have been gradually eliminating things. I am 71 and have been in pretty good health and am not overweight. I am hypo-thyroid, in my early teens, and when I went into menopause, but I was ok during my childbearing years. I did have migraines when I started menopause but found out about Magnesium and have taken that ever since then. Other than that I have always been in good health. In the process of trying to eliminate Carbs I have been having a lot of problems with leg cramps at night and extreme thirst and even though I have added salt and sometimes electrolytes to my water and even though I am drinking and even though I am drinking more than 60oz's a day in the night I will wake up because my tongue is too dry and I have to drink also I pee a lot at night. I am under a lot of stress caring for my husband, who is not able to do what we had hoped for, walking and talking.I am learning to eat more fat, I do notice it helps. Thank you for expressing what you said about eating any kind of beef you can, because it is hard to find good beef in the Philippines much less is it grass-fed, just give me the beef, when I can find it. I will rewatch the video cause I had to stop many times to help my husband.

Ultimately everyone is different, I started OMAD carnivore January 1st and experienced a lot of cramping for several months, I was taking all the electrolyte supplements including electrolyte drink but I think the body was still changing over to fat burning so the electrolytes were fluctuating. Normal, then a month ago I just said enough and stopped all supplements whatever, now I’m slowly bringing back supplements that I’m truly lacking including electrolyte drink, potassium, magnesium and melatonin for better sleep. Everyone needs to experiment and see what works for them. Good luck it’s worth putting in the time to figure it out, youtube can show you the door but you gotta walk through it.

Judy, with regards to electrolyte imbalance. Have you experienced with a salt free carnivore diet? Couldn't there be an imbalance of potassium and sodium? I have heard from several long term carnivores that that is how they feel best and am trying it myself and am surprised that after a short adaptation period I do feel much calmer, sleep better and have more energy.
I don't know what is wrong with me. Nearly two years or carnivore (mainly lion diet, I sometimes eat pastured pork and very rarely eat minimal conventional pork) without cheating. I have recovered in every way except that I still get acne and still regularly have loose stools. I passed the CIRS vision test, and on carnivore I don't experience most of the symptom clusters (though I met all of them before carnivore). I do not have a lot of stress, I started exercising 4-5 times a week after about 7 months carni and it didn't have any effect on my digestion or my skin. I was on 30 days of antibiotics in 2020 and 5 days in 2023 (while carnivore). I can't think of any other reason why my digestion might still be messed up. I can't even eat salt without getting diarrhea. I just did a 5 day fast and it did not help at all. I don't know what to do anymore. I will be carnivore for life but I'm tired of these ongoing issues!

take a look at SIFO: www.nutritionwithjudy.com/understanding-sifo-and-how-to-treat-it (if you take antibiotics it allows the fungal to flourish). and then consider a simple binder, you may just need extra help to detox and that may resolve a lot of what you are going through. More on binders here: www.nutritionwithjudy.com/rx-binders-vs-natural-binders-for-cirs. Sounds like you're pretty close to healing. The skin health is very affected by the microbiome health, so I'd start with the gut.
Thank you for a good summary video. Can you give me a suggestion on the proper electrolyte intake? I have been on the diet for 3 months, but I feel fatigued on most days and want to give up. My protein/fat ratio is 50/50 and I eat enough (200-300 cal surplus). Sodium 2500-3500, potassium 5000, Magnesium 450. Many videos suggest sodium can be up to 5000-7000. Since the potassium/sodium ratio needs to be 2:1, this means I would have to increase potassium to 10,000-14,000. I’m afraid to increase the dosage since this is way beyond the daily recommended Potassium of 4700. Any input is greatly appreciated.
My restless leg syndrome - and morning leg cramps - disappeared on carnivore. Opposite to what I expected, considering that I added no electrolytes (except I do like to salt liberally - maybe thats it).
On carnivore I find I have to do a salt heavy mix, a potassium heavy mix, and magnesium pills or I do not get enough. I'm ok with it though, I know I'm supporting my body in the way it currently needs. And doing this has resolved other things, like the POTS symptoms being alleviated with salt or my heart palps with magnesium.
"Take care of your bodies because it is the only place you have to live" I like that. 10:51, is that something for Paul Saladino to have a listen to ?
I struggle with mineral imbalance and take supplements to avoid cramping at night. But mine I believe comes down to my late stage chronic kidney disease.

I had an interview with Eliot Overton a long time ago but we talked about it. B1 helps give us energy, and the only food in the carnivore space that has a lot of B1 is pork (which is why I'm a huge advocate of eating the rainbow of meats and not just beef over time or as you can handle other meats). Benfotiamine version of B1 can give you energy but sometimes there are underlying reasons there is a need for it. One is imbalances in the nervous system, which may even impact ADH. You can always consider the VCS test but if you feel better with B1, then I wouldn't try to fix anything that is not broken.

I know I have something more underlying. 2 years mostly clean carnivore and the only time I feel really good is when I go strict Lion but even then sometimes I have bad days. I'm 99% sure it's CIRS. Still haven't done the vision test but I have almost all of the symptom clusters. I can't find a CIRS doctor around me but my primary doctor was very interested in everything I explained about cirs. So I have a couple questions: 1. Can I use activated charcoal to clear mold? And how would I find dosage. 2. Can any doctor prescribe Cholestyramine for CIRS? And how do they find the dosage? 3. Would a low anti-diahrretic hormone make someones GFR go up? Because my doctor was shocked at how high mine was. Thank you for all the information you provide.

I just told him that there are no shoemaker trained providers in my area and that I knew he was certainly smart enough to understand it easily enough and because he is already my personal physician I’d like him to be on board.

1. Not entirely but it can clear toxins in general so it's a good add-on. 2. Yes if you are a good persuaded. Not everyone needs to be a CIRS doctor to get you the meds as it's a pretty harmless medication. You can work with our team for every one session or join our CIRS group to ask your dosage and next step questions. 3. eGFR does not affect ADH but it's a good thing to have eGFR above 100. Our markers do shift for kidney function on carnivore but it's because we are eating more meat, it's a normal response. Just make sure to drink sufficient water so you remove the breakdown products of protein and amino acids.

I have diabetes insipidus though not diagnosed as such. I wondered for decades how I can have ADH issues and not be diagnosed but I just came to realize its because of how rare this disease is. There is no diabetes insipidus type 2 or diabetes insipidus type 1 as there is with diabetes mellitus because its not a condition that many people get. I claim diabetes insipidus because nowadays we have the diabetes type 2 and diabetes type 1 and pre-diabetes. They all are caused by insulin malfunction and diabetes insipidus is caused by ADH insufficiency.....be that from over intake of water or not....its a disregulation of the water in the body. Anyway that is my rant when 35 yrs ago I asked my doctor...so do I have diabetes insipidus and he said a firm NO. As for electrolyte imbalances on carnivore (just wanna add here that I am in no way an expert) we disrupt the sodium/potassium ratio nature intended for us when we salt food. Beef has about a 1 to 4 ratio of sodium to potassium which is great for health. We then add so much sodium to natures balance and find we have electrolyte issues. If you salt your food your body adapts by using ADH to flush the sodium out but also your kidneys are now in flush mode and "IMO" all minerals get flushed. ADH as I understand it just tells the kidneys to make more urine. So now your flushing more and more water out your system on a daily basis and we have the keto/carnivore push for more salt....it kinda makes no sense IMO. Just dont salt like crazy and you will adapt to less salt taste and have an easier time maintaining electrolytes.

🤔 So Judy, how do we interpret our ADH result in relation to mineral balance? Mine was just above the top of the range. Thanks!
Could be a thyroid issue. Been on carnivore for a few years. I noticed that I was bruising and bleeding easily. I thought maybe I was anemic. So began supplementing with b vitamins, especially folate. But it didn't help. I tried vitamin C. Didn't help either. Only when I began to take thyroid med for mild hyperthyroidism, the bleeding went away.
Judy, if we've been in mold a long time, our bodies do not metabolize fat and it creates problems with eating high animal fat diet. Obviously, going to the root cause is the answer. Is there a way to support fat metabolism until our bodies have recovered this function?
Can you please talk about source of phosphatidylserine? Is plant source not good?
Hey Judy, do you think you could do a video regarding Alpha gal syndrome?
So let's say one's ADH is out of order. What can we do to optimize it so that minerals like sodium aren't lost?
I saw some one saw a little carbs signals the kidney in a way to keep electrolytes balanced
My doctor gave me diuretic. When I go back, uh oh, low potassium. Then I read that dandelion tea is a diuretic and doesn't deplete potassium.
I’ve been finally able to balance my minerals being in ketosis but the histamines are my worst enemy. If I go completely carnivore (which I’ve done before for 6 months), I get a horrible histamine reaction but if I leave some fiber in, it seems to stabilize it a bit better but it seemingly never goes away 100 percent and I have to continue to take Zyrtec and Benadryl intermittently. Doctors just want to put me on allergy shots and cortisone shots. I had a food allergy test (IGE) and had a reaction to every single food that I was tested for except cashews. They also confirmed I have celiac disease. I’m just stuck in this weird place where I can’t deviate from a few foods or I get a reaction and I even sometimes get reactions to the foods that are safe for me. 🤔 I’ve even gone as far as getting meat that’s 100% grass fed and has been frozen right away and never eat leftovers…

2 notes: I thought all sugar-free electrolyte powders were the same: NO! Read your electrolytes and make sure it is the same ratio as LNMT otherwise you could have trouble sleeping from the wrong balance. I also thought collagen (costco) in coffee was fine...but it doesn't have tryptophan and you won't sleep because of the lack of tryptophan...so either switch or get tryptophan. Nothing like having trouble sleeping and collagen & electrolyte inbalance making it worse!

Okay so you don't tell us how to fix electrolytes or anything... how to help CIRS? I've been carnivore for 3 years and not losing weight and lost a bunch of hair... could it be not for me? What do i go back to??
On a carnivore diet, just stop eating added sodium/salt and you will stop losing potassium in the urine. Some youtubers say we need to eat avocado, lol. No! Meat already has potassium in abundance and a bit of sodium in the exact gradient level that we need.
My caffeine definitely causes electrolyte issues...

I’m not a dr, but I think the body needs salts to digest and to digest the body will rob from the body to process the meat… I have the same issue and spray my legs with epsom salt oil, take a pinch of epsom salt in my water before going to bed… it helps… but be warned u’ll have vivid dreams and get super deep sleep!

I am so allergic to chysthymums that I haven't been able to eat Organic tomatoes or peppers for years, because they spray an organic chysthymum based on both tomatoes and peppers to PREVENT pests! Thanks to you I am doing Carnivore first. When you have so many problems IBS, Chronic Fatigue, CIRS and severe menopause issues...sometimes you just have to knock one thing down at a time. HRT has finally allowed me to sleep more than 4-5 hours, while I was healing on carnivore, lack of sleep was slowing my progress! 1 thing that helped me believe i would heal was writing the little ways i was getting better, even if i was super slow..sometimes seeing is by focus and then seeing can help believing

Why? Pyrethrins break down rapidly and don't get absorbed into tomatoes and peppers, and less than 3% remains on the leaves after 5 days. It only has a one day hold period for all edible fruits and vegetables and leaves no residue.
You talk about starting out with food but how about using a UV light at the start also to kill the mold in the rooms that you're talking about? It's a very low cost low effort thing to immediately accomplish and people say it has helped their breathing allergies for example.

From the research I've done and the Indoor Environmental Professionals we've worked with, we don't kill mold but remove it. So UV is not as ideal as a strong air purifier (which may have a UV piece to it). Air purifiers are important but the diet is always fundamental.

Do research on histamine and foods that increase your levels. Supposedly, people who have allergies n or asthma may be sensitive. I have a new np educating me about this but I've been doing well on keto and eat a wide variety of protein, salads 🥑 Greek yogurt and some berries. No asthma since childhood and allergies are manageable. Still have issues with electrolytes though magnesium and potassium is helping quite a bit. I am very active as I do weight training n cardio as well.
I started carnivore in good faith, no negative perception, sticking with ruminant meat, but after 2 months, still not seeing any results. Far from it, I’m more inflamed than before. I don’t think I’m sensitive to any animal foods. I am taking electrolytes and magnesium and potassium. I am dumping oxalate for sure. Do you know why I’m not seeing any results yet?

Eat a little of something that is high in oxalates when your feeling junky and see if it helps. If it does, it's probably oxalate dumping. You can eat a little oxalates every day and slowly decrease to wean yourself off gently.

I have had horrible issues with electrolyte balance on carnivore...I even had a heart attack (!!) even though I did everything I could with salt and electrolytes.

I still want to go back to carnivore bcs I can't resolve my health issues on animal based alone but I'm scared now since my heart has still something wrong with it. Gonna do further testing to see exactly how damaged it is.🥺

I totally support that. If you feel fine with a little bit of carbohydrates, then that is fine. Just don't mask issues. Feeling weaker on carnivore is sometimes common because I see people not eat enough fat or don't eat enough in general. If you add carbs and it makes you feel better, I think that's perfectly fine, again, as long as it's not to balance electrolytes. ❤🩹

The biggest factor not only all the things you mentioned but the mouth seems to be the biggest root cause of not healing root canals, mercury feelings and also if you had wisdom teeth or any tooth removed improper will cause a infection in your jaw bone. Also implants like titanium. Root canals always fail and there’s no amount of safe mercury in the body every time you eat drink or brush your teeth mercury is being gassed off from the fillings. You need to see a biological dentist to get these things addressed properly a conventional dentist won’t care to help you and you need a 3D scan instead of a Xray because they won’t able to see the infection with a Xray. I’ve been chronically sick for 3 years and that’s my root cause I have a root canal and 16 mercury fillings I’m just saving up to see a biological dentist. Sense I’ve been chronically sick I’ve gotten closer to God and he has been the light to my path he has revealed this to me and been with me every step of the way through all the suffering there’s so much to gain so much beauty are bodies are fearfully wonderfully made we can heal from anything and everything trust in him even when you can’t see anything changing.
