About this episode
James has been suffering from mental health issues most of his life. It all started with a diagnosis of ADHD at the age of 6 years old. He was put on amphetamines for ADHD. He also had depression and anxiety starting around that age when put on the ADHD meds. At around 16 years old he started self medicating with pharmaceutical and street drugs and by 17 years old he was diagnosed with Schizoaffective and rapid cycling Bi Polar disorder. 10 years later, at the age of 27, he had been hospitalized at least 200 times in the psych hospital and emergency department. He developed obesity, pre-diabetes, psoriasis, Irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fatigue, along with those severe mental health issues. After 6 weeks doing the Carnivore lifestyle he got my life back. All of my health issues, including the severe mental health issues, went into clinical remission and he is on no pharmaceutical medications whatsoever. He hopes to help others who have similar issues recover now.
