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.
My interest in carnivore arose as, I mean, the carnivore diet movement just arose. I'm like, this is provocative and interesting. And I like curious, provocative, interesting things. So I started to delve into it and dabble with it myself. And start to talk to people who had tried a carnivore diet.

And I thought, you know, this is a remarkable frontier of nutritional therapy that deserves further exploration. So to that extent, I've kind of become much to my, in a way, dismay, like a bulldog of the carnivore diet. Like I'm kind of like agnostic. I don't care. I'm not anti-vegetable. I'm not anti-unsaturated fat. I don't really care.

You know, I don't think oxalates are that big a deal or a lot of the things that people talk about in the carnivore diet community. But I do think... The carnivore diet deserves more study, and it's super poorly understood and stigmatized.

So you do see me standing up for it a lot of the time, writing case reports on it, doing myth-busting around it, not because I think it's the one diet for everybody, but I think because it's just an underutilized and under-researched tool that could really help people.

Oh, accurate way to think about it in general, but not for me. So the fact of the matter is, like I said, I started a ketogenic diet that was very not carnivore. And it was sufficient to put me into remission. So the factor at play in me probably has to do more with ketosis being protective. So I could eat, in theory, a plant-based diet.

a low-carb diet and be in IBD remission, that doesn't mean my symptoms are perfect. So often people confuse inflammatory bowel disease with irritable bowel syndrome. Inflammatory bowel disease, either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, is like you look in the colon and there are histological signs you have a disease pathology. We can see it. We can visibly see it if we look in your colon.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a little bit more fluffy and symptomatic. It's like, you know, constipation, diarrhea, GI upset, real symptoms that people experience, but it's not exactly clear what's causing it. And you don't necessarily see signs on histology. So you look in the colon.
