Mick's Bio: In September 2024 I participated in the premier UTMB Trail running event series final in Chamonix, 176km and 10,000 mt of vertical. I won my age class, the Men's 65-69 years. This is the world championships for the 100 mile distance with all the top professional runners at the front of the field. I had the race of my life and attribute a great deal of that success to my nutritional lifestyle and also to my nutrition in the event. I am 66 years of age. I Started my personal health journey at 16 years of age, while still in high school in 1973, I read a book by Percy Cerutty "Be fit or be dammed". He was a radical but influential 1960's athletics coach who worked with many famous runners. He was into cold therapies, nutrition, and alternative training methods well before they become mainstream. Reading that started a cascade of events and influences that changed my life. I had Muscle and joint issues since my mid 30's (that's 30 years ago), regardless of diet or medical support. I used to find it hard to get out of bed in the mornings. Tried so many doctors and physios but nothing helped. Keto helped, but Carnivore made the biggest difference, now I am past the muscle and joint issues and thriving. Upon retirement we took up trail running events as a stimulation for the body and mind in our latter years. Little did we know that would become an all consuming passion. We were always healthy eaters by “modern” standards, living on a Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. But Keto changed all that. We had to toss out the old ideas and undergo a paradigm shift in thinking to make this new approach work for our athletic lifestyle. Then along came Carnivore, a natural evolution from Keto to a cleaner and more ancestral way of eating. I am a LMHR, having the classic High LDL, High HDL and low TG triad, since going LC. I have all my blood work since 1989 so there is a great data set for doctors to peruse in managing issues over the decades.
