Hello there! My name is Rob and I’m a nutrition coach that focuses on a low carb/ carnivore way of eating.  I found this path after several attempts to stop multiple issues and lose weight. I’ve done everything. I’ve counted calories, tried a Mediterranean diet, eaten Paleo and Keto. Nothing worked for me until I went to Carnivore. My story really starts in 2023. I had been getting gout attacks since, at least, a decade prior. I also had multiple GI issues and hemorrhoids. I was also getting weird back pains. Most of the time the gout attacks would flare up for a day or two and go away. Well, this particular gout attack lasted at least two months. It was after a month that I decided I needed to lose weight, I knew it wouldn’t solve the problem but it would help and I was pretty badly overweight. I was floating around 260-280 on a 5’8” frame.  I had also just learned about Carnivore. I thought red meat caused gout but I knew I would weather the gout attacks much better with less weight on my joints so I decided to do it temporarily to lose weight. I started the Carnivore diet on April 4th, 2023. Along with this I also quit drinking. A few weeks later my gout was gone. I have also noticed the few times I take a little alcohol my gout actually comes back.  So I no longer drink alcohol at all. I have also lost, at least, 80 pounds in the last 2 and a half years (as of this writing).
           Curiously other things began to alleviate as well. My IBS cleared up and only comes back if I drink something carbonated. I used to be able to belch on command. Now, it hardly ever happens. My hemorrhoids also disappeared, so did my back pains. I have three times the energy, sleep better and wake up faster than I have ever in my life. My mind is also clearer and my memory is much stronger. So I tried to do what I always do in these cases. I tried to disprove the Carnivore diet approach. The more I tried to disprove it, the more I became convinced that the low carb to carnivore spectrum is most likely the way for most people. I now have a Nutritional Coach’s  license approved by the NASM (National Association of Sports Medicine) from a low carb focused coaching program and offer my knowledge and experience to anyone looking for an intervention into GI issues, gout, or extreme obesity. There are many ways to be healthy but I think this way can help you. If you like the sound of this I welcome you to come with me on my journey.  Either way, I hope this finds you well and, remember, I’m in your corner.
