MD Puts Ulcerative Colitis in Remission on Carnivore — 30 Years, Drug Free | Dr. Jocelyn Foran

Dr. Jocelyn Foran is a medical doctor board certified in anesthesiology and obesity medicine, and a metabolic coach. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in her final month of medical school at 24. When she asked whether she should change the way she ate, she was told no — just take the pills. She took them for nearly twenty years. Today she's in remission and drug free on a carnivore diet, and works with people around the world to keep them out of hospitals and into life.

In this episode:

Growing up meat-based in the 1970s — and what changed when the food guides arrived telling her to eat eleven slices of bread a day

Poverty, a father who left when she was eight, and the determination to become a physician that came out of it

Being told to just take the pills — and where that led by 43

The path from specific carbohydrate diet to paleo, keto and carnivore, and getting off her medication

Why the 1910 Flexner Report took diet off the curriculum of every medical school in North America

What Sir William Osler told his type 2 diabetics — and what changed when insulin arrived in 1921

How insulin actually works, and why the same meal at night needs roughly twice as much of it

Her daily routine: morning light, walking, lifting, sauna, 30g of protein per meal, eating done by 6pm
