What happens to your blood work after more than 1000 days on the carnivore diet with no fruit and no vegetables? In this video, Dr. Eric Westman reacts to Max German’s long-term carnivore blood tests and breaks down what the results may actually mean. They go through testosterone, liver markers, kidney function, ferritin, complete blood count, and the bigger controversy around LDL cholesterol and heart disease. This is a fascinating look at what can happen when someone follows a meat-and-eggs-based diet for years, and why the results may surprise a lot of people who have been told this way of eating should destroy their health. Dr. Westman also adds important context around fatty liver, metabolic health, alcohol, kidney fears, protein myths, and the old cholesterol paradigm that still shapes mainstream thinking today. If you’ve ever wondered what long-term carnivore blood work really looks like, or whether carnivore diet labs can actually come back normal, this breakdown is for you.
