Hi guys! Quick question. I'm curious to hear from all the Carnivores in the group. What method did you use to end up on the carnivore diet? Did you slowly transition onto the diet, lowering your carb/sugar intake every week, while increasing your meat and fat intake? Or did you jump straight into the carnivore diet overnight, giving up sugar cold turkey, and just push through the initial sugar withdrawal symptoms? Would love to hear you methods, experiences and advice for someone going from a Standard Western Diet to a Carnivore Diet. Thank you!

Welcome to Common Sense Health: Joined Up Thinking This isn't another diet community. This is where physiology meets practicality, where we connect the dots between what you eat, how you move, when you sleep, and what your blood work is actually telling you. I'm Stephen Thomas, and for over a decade, I've worked with thousands of people to transform their health through low-carb, keto, and carnivore approaches. But here's what I've learned: the diet is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Your health is a system, not a collection of isolated problems. In this community, we're peeling back the layers of conventional health wisdom to reveal what your body is really doing. We'll explore: Metabolic health through the lens of actual physiology—not headlines or health trends. We'll decode your blood tests together, understanding what those numbers mean in the context of low-carb metabolism, not outdated reference ranges designed for the standard Western diet. Circadian biology and why the timing of light exposure might be as important as what's on your plate. Your mitochondria don't operate in a vacuum—they respond to environmental signals that modern life has scrambled. Movement and exercise that align with your metabolic state and goals, not arbitrary fitness trends. Food as information, not just calories or macros. What you eat sends signals to every cell in your body. This is a place for questions, for challenging assumptions, and for learning to think critically about your health. I bring a degree in physiology, blood-testing expertise, and a thousand success stories. You bring the curiosity and commitment to understanding your own biology. We're done with reductionist thinking. We're done with "good" and "bad" cholesterol. We're done with fear-based medicine. Let's practice joined-up thinking together. What You'll Get: - Weekly live discussions where no question is off-limits - Access to my library of written guides and video content - A community of clear-thinking individuals who understand that metabolic health is the foundation - Evidence-based guidance that respects your intelligence and your body's complexity
