From Carnivore to Animal Based...My Bloodwork Changed

About this video

Kane compares her own bloodwork after shifting from a near-carnivore pattern, where about half her calories came from red meat, to a more animal-based pattern with red meat roughly halved, more fruit, and average carbohydrates rising from about 60 grams to about 100 grams daily. She reports folate doubled and vitamin D rose from 42.8 to 71.5, which she attributes mainly to taking 6,000 IU daily. She says fasting glucose fell from 95 to 92, insulin from 7.3 to 6.6, cortisol from 18.4 to 8.8, and liver enzymes normalised, while ferritin puzzlingly stayed slightly high, moving from 152 to 153. Kane also describes doubling her iodine after taking iodine drops, with T3 falling from 2.9 to 2.5, and says her zinc, selenium, and copper fell despite supplementing. She defers her heart markers to a follow-up video.
