Dr. Shawn Baker shared a striking example of what he believes long-term commitment to a carnivore diet and consistent training can accomplish—without pharmaceuticals or supplementation.

“You don’t need TRT, you don’t need steroids, you don’t even need carbohydrates,” said Baker in a post on X. “Meat is a superfood, no doubt! Couple it with consistency with training and now you’ve got a recipe for success!”

Alongside his message, Baker posted a photo of himself at age 58—6’5”, 256 pounds—citing nine years of carnivore dieting. He advocates for an animal-based nutrition plan centered on nutrient-dense meats, arguing it supports muscle development, hormonal balance, and long-term vitality.

The post reinforces Baker’s broader belief that diet and lifestyle—not pharmaceuticals—form the foundation of physical resilience and performance, especially as people age.

Dr. Shawn Baker is an orthopedic surgeon, former world champion rower, and leading voice in the carnivore movement. He is the author of The Carnivore Diet and founder of Revero, a health platform focused on reversing chronic disease through meat-based nutrition.
