Dr. Ankur Verma
Is a champion.
I started with following his radical at the time Instagram posts,and then he got me hooked .
The best thing about dr verma is his clear very clear advice . It’s a simple you can or you cannot no grey area . Can I eat dark chocolate? No eat butter. Can I eat fruits? No
Can I cheat ? To which the advice was the best
You only cheat when you are deprived! You are having a fuckin feast , it ( cheat ) does not apply…
The other greatest talk was on eating clean that picture stayed in my head very well “ amrish eat clean” meaning don’t make a mess of the protein nor should you add too much spice etc ..
I think I’m still work in progress my muscle mass has increased though with my drinking which was weekly has been advised to be fortnightly and only tequila with lime water and tagine salts ..
My belly fat if it goes I will be his best friend for life . though already people telling me I’m looking Fit..
Thank you Doc 🙏🏼

I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Ankur through friends at a new apartment complex I moved into with my family.
He told me about the carnivore lifestyle and how he had been following it for more than a year and a half. At first I thought he was a complete madman who spoke of the impossible. He went on to tell me about his podcast - the great EM Project, where he spoke with various dieticians, doctors and practitioners of this carnivore lifestyle. I started listening to it on my way to work and what finally convinced me was not the science but the experiences people shared on the podcast. How their lives become better and they started seeing the difference within a week. I convinced my wife to do it with me and since we were both meat lovers, we decided to give it a shot.
That was 6 months ago, a large ridiculously overweight person I was started to see changes from week 1 as promised. Within 3 months I went from being diabetic 6.1 Hb1ac to 5.3 Hb1ac without any meds. I started losing weight, become more active both physically and mentally, even started performing better at work. I started playing sports again.
Long story short, I'm of the opinion that this lifestyle is for me and I couldn't be more grateful to Dr. Ankur. I'm proud to call this man my friend, callsign Carnivore Alpha.
P. S. I've lost 17 kgs but that's just a positive side effect 😁

I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ankur Verma. After two sessions with him, I’ve realized just how different his approach is compared to so many other doctors. Instead of immediately focusing on pills, Dr. Verma prioritizes diet and nutrition–in my case, guiding me through a carnivore lifestyle rooted in metabolic health. This isn’t just a fad; it’s backed by science-supported principles and real-world results.
He’s truly one of the pioneers of functional medicine:
With over 40 published papers in national and international journals, he’s not just talking the talk—he’s walking the walk.
He’s bridged traditional emergency medicine and metabolic health through cutting-edge research in this emerging field.
Dr. Verma is not just an exemplary clinician but also a communicator and educator:
He’s the founder & host of The DESI EM PROJECT—India’s first emergency-medicine podcast—bringing insightful conversations on health, nutrition, fitness, and more .
He’s a sought-after guest on global platforms like Carnivorist Chats, Primal Foundations Podcast, and Dr. Shawn Baker’s show, where he breaks down complex topics like biomarkers, chronic disease, and overcoming pharma dogma.
🙏 Thank you, Dr. Verma, for your evidence-based yet compassionate approach. You’ve shown me (and so many others) that healing doesn’t have to start with prescriptions—it can start with real food, deep knowledge, and a doctor willing to look at root causes.
Highly recommended 👏

Hi Ankur bhaiya, I wanted to express how things have changed over time since you put me on a carnivore diet. Yes it’s a strict diet but that only brought so much more discipline in my life, it made me so much more patient. While following it my gut felt healthier and stomach so much more stronger. I didnt feel bloating for even a second and very fondly only looked for healthy food everywhere. While doing this I also lost all the extra weight and constantly felt energetic. Also to be physically in a better condition more than half my family is following this. With every different brain comes a new recipe that everyone wants to try now.
Kudos.! And thanks for this. 🙌🏾

I have been a physically fit person but I have been suffering from severe anxiety since a very long time. It was really hard to manage panic attacks when they got worse and started to become clinical.
I was talking to Dr. Ankur about it and he told me something that blew my mind because it should be a basic knowledge but no one seems to talk about it. I got to know that low B12 levels can have a big role in aggravating anxiety and even depression. That was the hook for me to completely start a carnivorous diet which Dr. Ankur recommended because I wanted to check if just a diet shift can help me manage anxiety. Guess what, it did. I have done clean eating before by removing sugar, fried and packaged food and have had a similar result but this time it was on another level. It feels like there was a fog in my brain that has cleared. I feel more fit, fast and more in control. I still have panic attacks sometimes because it’s natural but they aren’t heavy anymore. I’m able to manage them way way better now. I haven’t felt as mentally fit as I am now.

Ankur, thank you for re-starting me on the path of better metabolic health. While it's been just 4 months, I have lost nearly 11 kilos and 4 inches of the waist. And my blood work is now normal. The journey, of course, continues.
Ankur stands apart from other wellness coaches because he vociferously advocates a dietary regimen that is low carb, high protein. He backs it by science.What helps is that there is no ambiguity or "flexibility" which keeps one from temptation that is often inevitable.
He also combines it with practical advice on exercise and the need for sleep. And how to rectify both.
This is important because Lifestyle modification is a "serious effort". No hacks, no cheat days.
And that is why his backing you with being available but never giving you wriggle room makes a difference.
Thank you Ankur...

A big thanks to Dr. Ankur. He has enlightenmented me to a new World and I feel much more in control of my body. It's been 6 months since I started the carnivore diet. My energy levels are much higher, my mood is elevated in general. My periods start right on time and are silent i.e. no pain/discomfort and I don't experience any sorts of mood swings. I have lost 13 kgs and feel much more energetic. I have started working out which I never did before. My hairfall stopped and skin is shining, and my body is quite toned. I will be sticking to this lifestyle for sure.
All in all it's working out really well for me.

I’m beyond grateful for Dr. Ankur Verma—not just as a brilliant doctor, but as a constant source of support, wisdom, and genuine care throughout my healing journey. He has been there for me like no other, always available to answer my questions—day or night—with patience, clarity, and kindness.
With his expert guidance on the carnivore diet and a deeply holistic approach to wellness, I was able to reclaim my health, balance my hormones, and restore my body from the inside out. This lifestyle and healing journey didn’t just transform my well-being—it gave me the greatest gift of my life: my daughter. I truly believe that with Dr. Verma’s help, I created the healthiest foundation to conceive, carry, and care for my precious baby girl.
Dr. Verma doesn’t just treat symptoms—he listens, he understands, and he walks beside you every step of the way. His dedication goes far beyond what most expect from a physician, and his genuine care and friendship made all the difference.
Thank you, Dr. Verma, for helping me find healing, strength, and the joy of motherhood. You are an extraordinary doctor and a blessing in my life. I pray that more people have the opportunity and gift to be your patient 😊

“I had a couple of online consultations with dr. Ankur Verma some months ago because I was a bit lost on my carnivore journey and I really needed an expert point of view and advice from a medical experienced carnivore.
He was amazing and very professional about diet and lifestyle changes. We did some testing, and he explained me about the results and suggested some diet changes, according to my situation, to help with oxalate issues, allergies and dairy intolerance. He was great in dissolving all the doubts that I had about nutrients, habits and about my blood work results.
He gave me the suggested macros for my body weight, so I could track properly what to eat for better results, according to my needs. He also suggested me a new plan of physical exercises and was always really helpful and available.
I absolute recommend everyone to have a consultation with him, especially those that are doing carnivore DIY, without any experienced support: revising the diet with an experienced carnivore doctor really makes the difference about getting the results that you want to see for your health and giving up thinking that the diet is not the right one for you!” – Alessandra, Italy
I’ve lost 9 kilos in a month under Dr. Ankur Verma’s guidance and it’s been one of the most straightforward and effective lifestyle interventions I’ve experienced. The diet plan is simple and easy to follow, and the exercise routine is tailored without being overwhelming. What also really stood out for me was how Dr. Verma paid close attention to even the small things—like optimizing my circadian rhythm and even swapping my toothpaste! It’s rare to find someone so focused and practical. The entire consultation was no-nonsense, clear, and solution-oriented. I genuinely hope to continue this lifestyle long-term while regularly bouncing off ideas and troubleshooting with him.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Ankur Verma’s carnivore consult sessions transformed my life! Previously plagued by debilitating bursitis and a hip labral tear that severely diminished my quality of life, I found hope and healing through Dr. Ankur’s expert guidance. Unlike past experiences with less credible nutritionists, Dr. Ankur, a practicing doctor, provided clear, detailed, and eye-opening advice on optimizing my diet. He pinpointed the root causes of my issues, explained them in an easy-to-understand way, and recommended targeted changes that delivered results. Within weeks, my bursitis faded, and my vitality returned! Dr. Ankur’s focus on prevention over medication sets him apart—offering high-quality, life-changing care at an affordable cost. I wholeheartedly recommend his carnivore consults to anyone ready to reclaim their health!

In January of 2024, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney Cancer (RCC) which had metastatised. My Hb, Creatinine and Hb1AC were way outside the normal range. The consulting specialists were contemplating blood transfusion, dialysis and Insulin. At this point Dr Verma, being family, took charge. He arranged for the Oncology treatment. Alongside he put me on a moderate protein high fat (carnivore) diet. He educated us that these are metabolic disorders and can be reversed. He closely monitored my parameters. By second week of February the numbers started coming within the normal range. The blood transfusion and dialysis were successfully avoided. Dr. Ankur kept reducing the diabetes medicines. By the end of February, I was off all diabetes and hypertension medication. The April PET scan report also showed remarkable control of the spread of cancer. Now, after one year I am still off all medications for hypertension and diabetes. It is no less than a miracle that Dr. Ankur has reversed my diabetes and hypertension of 25 years with diet and some lifestyle changes. I would highly recommend consulting Dr. Ankur Verma for health issues.
