I don´t think that Shawn Baker looks unhealthy, I think he looks very healthy for his age. I also don´t think that eating a cooked carnivore diet is as unhealthy as many people might think it is. There are so many people that healed their deepest health issues while eating cooked meats, that one can only explain it, maybe, by an absence of vegetables and fruits. I get daily notifications of the carnivore diet forum on fb and I sometimes can´t believe that people get that healthy on cooked foods. I know that cooking destroys enzymes, denatures vitamins, creates AGEs, carcinogens and what not, but for some reason cooking meats to the death still heals the most difficult health maladies for these carnivores. So something doesn´t make sense.
Sometimes I think that our health mainly depends on our mental state and most importantly our environment, rather than our food choices, except eating junk food or an SAD diet or course... Whenever I go abroad I usually have a much better digestion, gain healthy weight, get more muscle, have a higher sex drive, more energy and need less sleep, so what´s the reason? After all these years of experimenting and trying out different diets, all kinds of supplements one should lean back and look at yourself for once second, rather than trying out millions of different things to find a 'cure' to ones health problems. And as I said the environment can sometimes play a major role. Let me give you an example.
Some years ago I used to come home from work and my partner was cooking some stuff in the oven. While being outside I was joyful and happy, but the moment I entered our home I got angry and aggressive. I never understood that until, after many years, I could nail it down. The oven that I use to cook foods in was never properly cleaned. There is so much grease and dirt in there that even a proper cleaning won´t clean things such as the inside fan. So, every time I use the oven now my stomach cramps and I felt really agressive and sick. The reason must be coming from the dirt inside there blowing out to the environment in my own home. I first thought it´s the magnetic field from the oven, but even after being further away from it I can feel there is an issue. It´s like parasites come to life or multiply whenever the shitty oven is turned on. And by now I have a shitload of experience when it comes parasites, trust me. I still believe that raw meats are superior when it comes accelerating your healing process, but I also think that that your environment plays the major part. And that´s something you should never neglect. So things like Yoga I would highly recommend. Everything that calms your mind will be beneficial for sure. You can eat the healthiest diet in the world, if you mind is unsettled you will never heal yourself. We are so desperately trying to find a cure to our health, that we forget to focus on the most important thing. Our spiritual and mental state. Because our microbiome vastly depends on our wellbeing. If you are not happy your bacteria won´t be happy and you will have all kinds of health issues until your psychological wellbeing has been adressed and your environment has been changed for the better.
I need to give another more drastic example here. My best friends sister has cancer. It´s all over her body including the bones. Doc´s gave up on her a long time ago. She should be dead by now. So she started to search for a remedy herself and tried all kinds of remedies and treatments. She was in a wheelchair not a long time ago. It was really bad. Then she started to meet with a good psychologist of some kind, I don´t know the exact details, but since then she is out of a wheelchair and can walk again. A kind of a miracle. So if your mind is not ready to heal you will never heal.
