Shawn Baker is an American doctor and former orthopaedic surgeon best known as a leading advocate of the carnivore diet, which cuts out plant foods entirely. He is the author of The Carnivore Diet and founder of Revero, and has competed in powerlifting, strongman and the Highland Games.
Brian Rose has interviewed Baker twice on London Real, in 2020 and 2022. They have talked about how the diet works, why he adopted it, his years as a surgeon with the US Air Force, and his views on diet and chronic disease.
Both interviews are listed below in order.
The Carnivore Diet: Eat Steak Every Day (2022). His more recent interview, covering both his life story and his case for the diet.
Baker’s carnivore diet means eating meat, fish, eggs and other animal products and cutting out plants entirely, including fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. He suggests people try it for 30 to 60 days before judging it.
Speaking in 2022, Baker said that by his forties his approach of training hard and eating whatever he liked had left him with sleep apnoea, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. He says switching to an all-meat diet resolved these problems for him.
Baker argues that diet can address many long-term inflammatory and chronic conditions, the idea behind his company Revero.
