## Resource

Following on from surprise atherosclerosis in 2023 that resulted in 3 stents to resolve 2, 95% and 1, 90% arterial blockages, Tim adopted a carnivore diet as one of the known mechanisms to reduce inflammation, lower visceral fat and body fat, become fat adapted and improve gut health. After three months on the Carnivore diet, Tim's body weight had dropped 12KG from 82Kg to 70Kg and this provided Tim the confidence to stop taking statins and then fully tapered off gout medication (allopurinol).
