Carnivore Diet Gene Mutation? Does it Explain Mikhaila Peterson's Success?

🌿 Why Plants Might Be Hurting You: The Phytosterol Hyperabsorption & Joint Pain Link | Case Study Breakdown

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to react badly to all plant foods — even so-called "healthy" ones?

In today's video, we dive deep into phytosterol hyperabsorption, a little-known (and rare) but critical condition where plant sterols (the plant version of cholesterol) are absorbed excessively by the body, and why this issue may be worth exploring with your doctor.

This abnormal absorption can trigger chronic inflammation, joint pain, and other autoimmune-like symptoms. We'll explore how this might explain the experiences shared by prominent carnivore diet advocates like Mikhaila Peterson, who reported severe joint issues that dramatically improved on a plant-free diet, and who has described reactivity even to leafy greens.

🔬 Plus, we'll break down a fascinating case study from the European Heart Journal: A young woman was misdiagnosed with juvenile arthritis for 17 years — only to later discover she had a genetic mutation in ABCG5, a transporter crucial for clearing plant sterols. Once properly diagnosed and treated, her "arthritis" symptoms improved.

👉 In this video, you’ll learn:

What phytosterols are and why hyperabsorption happens

How ABCG5 and ABCG8 gene mutations affect your health

Why joint pain and autoimmune symptoms might actually be a metabolic issue, not a mystery disease

How some people thrive by cutting out plants — and why

🎯 If you've struggled with unexplained joint pain, autoimmune diagnoses, or plant food sensitivities, this could change everything you thought you knew about "healthy eating."
