And that's when all the magic happened. Since that day, my depression has been gone.
Lee Copus' life took a dramatic turn due to ulcerative colitis, a severe autoimmune disease affecting the colon. At one point, his condition was so debilitating that he found himself visiting the toilet up to 30 times a day. Despite trying various treatments, including steroids and conventional dietary advice emphasizing whole grains and plant-based foods, Lee continued to suffer. The persistent symptoms of bloody diarrhea and the cyclical flare-ups led him to question the effectiveness of standard medical advice.
In his conversation with Sameer Dossani, Lee shared the pivotal moment when he discovered the carnivore diet—a regimen focusing exclusively on animal products. Within 21 days of adopting this diet, Lee experienced a remarkable transformation, particularly in his mental health. His depression, which had been a constant companion throughout his illness, lifted, and he found his energy levels soaring. Lee's story underscores the critical role of diet in managing chronic illnesses and mental health.
He reflects on the inadequacies of conventional dietary wisdom, which often fails to address the root causes of digestive and autoimmune issues. Instead, Lee found that eliminating plant-based foods that were difficult for his body to process brought him relief. Throughout the podcast, Lee and Sameer delve into the science behind the carnivore diet, discussing how it affects the gut microbiome and why it might succeed where other diets fail.
Lee expresses a strong desire to share his insights with others who may feel trapped in a cycle of illness and ineffective treatments. Ultimately, Lee's journey is one of hope and transformation, as he continues to advocate for understanding diverse dietary approaches and the profound impact they can have on health and well-being.
