Shawn Baker (physician)

Shawn Baker is an American physician and advocate known for promoting the carnivore diet, which emphasizes eating only animal products like meat, eggs, and dairy. He gained popularity through social media and his book, arguing that humans can thrive on this diet and that it may help with health issues. While some supporters report benefits, the approach is controversial and lacks consensus from mainstream medical organizations, as it raises concerns about nutritional balance and long-term health risks. Baker’s work focuses on challenging traditional dietary guidelines and encouraging people to consider alternative eating patterns.
