But these programs are dependent on certain genes and certain genes getting activated. And I have a mutation in one gene pathway. LRP5 went signaling. So basically when I started running more, my bones didn't get stronger fast enough. So they got weak really quickly. And that's how I developed osteoporosis. That's since improved. I just can't run anymore, but otherwise I'm perfectly healthy there.

No longer have osteoporosis. Um, the inflammatory bowel disease, it's hard to say. I mean, I did eat a pretty standard Westernized diet, quote, balanced diet. I did a lot of fruits and vegetables, but I did eat, you know, a fair amount of junk food as a kid to normal kid growing up in the 2000s. You can imagine what I ate.

And also unique to me is I did get intravenous antibiotics very early on in life as a neonate. And we actually do know that can screw up your microbiome basically for life. So we know that early life antibiotics, you know, when you're a neonate can increase inflammatory bowel disease risk, say in your 20s by about 500%.

So I did have that insult behind me, in addition to eating a pretty standardized Western diet, and then developed ulcerative colitis at a pretty typical time, my early 20s, for a young guy. So, you know, maybe I would have developed it anyway if I didn't get the IV antibiotics, or even if I ate perfectly. I think that's unlikely.

But those were the contribution factors that led to my health issues. Now, how I found a ketogenic diet was... It just existed in the zeitgeist. And it was something that I didn't know much about. And I tried prior to having any true interest in education in it. I was just desperate. I had tried everything else.

I tried, you know, specific carbohydrate, low FODMAP, you know, paleo, Mediterranean, pescatarian, vegan, vegetarian, whatever. And eventually, I tried a ketogenic diet. And the results were that my inflammatory markers dropped to the lowest they'd been in a long, long time into the normal range. I just started feeling much, much better.

And then eventually, years later, when I got another colonoscopy, I was in biopsy-proof remission. So, you know, everything went my way. And with respect to carnivore, because my initial ketogenic diet... It did have more, it was kind of like more Mediterranean-esque spin, lots of like olive oil, you know, green vegetables, salmon, etc.
