"My labs got worse. My energy tanked. No one warned me this could happen."
In Part 2 of this deep dive into the carnivore diet, Stanford-trained physician Dr. Hillary Lin shares the clinical reality behind the meat-only movement — and why it may not be the miracle cure it's hyped up to be.
Forget the viral transformations. This is where we examine the long-term risks, the biomarkers to monitor, and the patients who should steer clear.
In this episode, Dr. Lin breaks down the overlooked risks of the carnivore diet, including:
● Skyrocketing LDL and ApoB levels
● Gut microbiome shifts that mimic disease states
● Cancer risk pathways from high-heat cooking and heme iron
● Accelerated aging from mTOR activation and suppressed autophagy
● Her patient selection matrix and exit strategies used in real clinical practice
This isn’t fear-mongering — it’s the missing half of the carnivore conversation.
