I WASN'T LOOKING TO LOSE WEIGHT
"I just wanted to feel better. What I got was so much more."
I'm Billy Clarke — 46, married with two kids, a six-year-old boy and a two-and-a-half-year-old girl. I've been living in Barbados for 16 years. Life on this island is, by most measures, pretty wonderful.
And yet, two years ago, I was struggling in ways I couldn't quite explain. After our second child arrived, something shifted. The relentless juggling of work, parenting and everything life throws at you quietly wore me down. I started waking up stiff and sore every morning. My joints ached. I was irritable, overwhelmed, snapping at my family.
"I was shouting at the people I loved most, and I didn't know why. That scared me."
Then came the gut issues. I spent $6,000 on doctors, blood work, and a colonoscopy — and came away with almost nothing. No diagnosis. No action plan. Just a polite shrug from the medical system I'd put my faith in.
Eventually I turned to someone I'd known for some time — a man called Jeremy Ayres.
Jeremy educated me at a level no one ever had before. It clicked instantly. He introduced me to what I now prefer to call Humans' Original Food — the food our ancestors ate.
Six months in, I am not fixed. I don't know everything. I have no credentials. What I do have is this: I feel profoundly better than I did two years ago. GoCarni is my honest journey — come along if it resonates.
