Mick Camilleri shares his transformative journey to adopting a carnivore diet, detailing the health challenges he faced, including a concerning coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. He discusses the changes he made to his diet and lifestyle, the importance of understanding health markers, and the role of supplements in his health journey. The conversation emphasizes critical thinking in health decisions and the potential for reversing adverse health conditions through dietary changes.

Reversing CAC and Regaining Heart Health: A Carnivore Journey

Key Points

Introduction and Background

Mick introduces his health journey that led him to a carnivore diet, describing how he became aware of his physical decline in 2020 due to unhealthy habits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Initial Health Challenges

Mick discusses common health markers from blood tests that prompted him to seek weight loss, leading him to explore keto and later the carnivore diet out of curiosity and necessity.

Transition to Carnivore Diet

After initial success with keto, Mick transitioned to a carnivore diet around mid-2021. He experienced significant health improvements and weight loss, revealing that he had dealt with psoriasis his entire life.

Coronary Artery Calcium Scan

In 2023, Mick underwent a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, revealing a score of 322, which served as a wake-up call about his heart health despite feeling asymptomatic.

Doctor Consultation and Treatment Decisions

After evaluating his CAC score, Mick consulted with a cardiologist and considered treatments including statins and aspirin, while also exploring dietary supplements.

Monitoring Progress

Mick discusses consistent monitoring of his health markers and CAC scores over time, emphasizing the importance of specific laboratory testing to track changes.

Calcium Score Trends

Mick describes how his CAC score fluctuated and eventually decreased, illustrating that scores can change based on various factors, including diet and health practices.

Supplement Use

Mick details the supplements he uses, including K2, D3, and nattokinase, emphasizing their role in maintaining vascular health and supporting his carnivore diet.

Importance of Data and Individual Protocols

Emphasizing a data-driven approach, Mick encourages people to analyze their health metrics and make personalized dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

Conclusion on Healing and Self-Management

Mick concludes that the body has the capacity to heal itself if proper dietary changes are implemented to remove health 'insults', drawing parallels between calcification and bodily healing mechanisms.

National healthcare is driven by the burden of chronic illnesses, and most of these diseases are metabolic in nature, therefore, due to malnutrition. "The reality is when you look at most chronic diseases, they have a underlying metabolic impairment as part of their pathophysiology or pathogenesis" (Professor Jeff Volek, PhD, The Ohio State University). That impairment is insulin resistance. "Virtually every chronic disease has some connection to insulin resistance, where the insulin resistance is either explicitly causing the problem or it's exacerbating it or accelerating the problem" (Professor Benjamin Bikman, PhD, BYU). Proper human nutrition requires animal sourced foods, and sustainable food systems require livestock.

Flourishing requires Nourishing.

It is a somewhat common question to me: how do we write C in curl to make it safe and secure for billions of installations? Some precautions we take and decisions we make. There is no silver bullet, just guidelines. As I think you can see for yourself below they are also neither strange nor surprising.

The ‘c’ in curl does not and never did stand for the C programming language, it stands for client. ...

This is a excellent read, and If you work on a multi-person project, I highly recommend going through it.

Eddie Hall, nicknamed "The Beast," is a British former professional strongman born in 1988 in Stoke-on-Trent, England. He rose to global prominence in 2017 when he became the first person to deadlift 500kg (1,102lbs) under official competition conditions, winning the World's Strongest Man title that same year.

Before his strongman career, Hall was a national champion swimmer in his youth. He later worked as a mechanic while developing his strength training. At his competitive peak, he weighed around 400 pounds and consumed up to 12,000 calories daily.

After retiring from strongman competition in 2017, Hall transformed his physique, losing significant weight while maintaining strength. He's ventured into boxing, acting, and television, appearing in shows like "The Strongest Man in History" and several documentaries. He remains a popular figure in strength sports through his YouTube channel and other media appearances.

TLDR - If you are a ketogenic lean mass hyper responder with high LDL, insist on imaging to determine your atherosclerotic risk, as this study indicates the LDL and ApoB by itself doesn't indicate a growth in plaque.

Background - Changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) among people following a ketogenic diet (KD) are heterogeneous. Prior work has identified an inverse association between body mass index and change in LDL-C. However, the cardiovascular disease risk implications of these lipid changes remain unknown.

Objectives - The aim of the study was to examine the association between plaque progression and its predicting factors.

Methods - One hundred individuals exhibiting KD-induced LDL-C ≥190 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥60 mg/dL, and triglycerides ≤80 mg/dL were followed for 1 year using coronary artery calcium and coronary computed tomography angiography. Plaque progression predictors were assessed with linear regression and Bayes factors. Diet adherence and baseline cardiovascular disease risk sensitivity analyses were performed.

Results - High apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (median 178 mg/dL, Q1-Q3: 149-214 mg/dL) and LDL-C (median 237 mg/dL, Q1-Q3: 202-308 mg/dL) with low total plaque score (TPS) (median 0, Q1-Q3: 0-2.25) were observed at baseline. Neither change in ApoB (median 3 mg/dL, Q1-Q3: −17 to 35), baseline ApoB, nor total LDL-C exposure (median 1,302 days, Q1-Q3: 984-1,754 days) were associated with the change in noncalcified plaque volume (NCPV) or TPS. Bayesian inference calculations were between 6 and 10 times more supportive of the null hypothesis (no association between ApoB and plaque progression) than of the alternative hypothesis. All baseline plaque metrics (coronary artery calcium, NCPV, total plaque score, and percent atheroma volume) were strongly associated with the change in NCPV.

Conclusions - In lean metabolically healthy people on KD, neither total exposure nor changes in baseline levels of ApoB and LDL-C were associated with changes in plaque. Conversely, baseline plaque was associated with plaque progression, supporting the notion that, in this population, plaque begets plaque but ApoB does not.
