The Carnivore Diet for Autoimmune Disease: How to Heal Your Body and Reverse Autoimmune Conditions

The Carnivore Diet is a way of eating that focuses on consuming only animal-based foods, including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy. By eliminating all plant-based foods from the diet, the body is given a chance to heal and repair itself. There are many benefits to following the Carnivore Diet for autoimmune disease, including the potential to heal your body and reverse autoimmune conditions.

Autoimmune diseases are conditions where your immune system produces antibodies that attack the body’s own cells. There are over 100 different autoimmune diseases, some of the most common ones include Grave’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Celiac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Vitiligo, Type 1 diabetes, Pernicious anemia and Multiple sclerosis.

The Carnivore Diet can potentially help treat and even cure autoimmune diseases because this diet removes an important environmental factor that triggers autoimmune conditions: troublesome food from your diet such as processed food, additives, and plant toxins1. According to a 2021 study on the carnivore diet conducted by Harvard, 56% percent of the 2,029 participants cited autoimmune disorders as a reason for going carnivore. After at least six months on the carnivore diet, 89% of study participants reported improving or resolving their autoimmune disorders.

It’s important to note that every individual is different and may have different dietary needs. It’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet.
