From Frustration to Freedom: How the Keto and Carnivore Diets Helped with My Heart Palpitations and Anxiety

By Austin Wintergreen

Have you been told to "just live with" your heart palpitations? Are you tired of living in fear of the next episode? What if the very foods you've been told are "heart-healthy" might actually be triggering your symptoms? After years of debilitating heart palpitations and anxiety that left me afraid to climb stairs or sleep on my left side, I discovered an approach that finally freed me from this nightmare--and it flew in the face of everything conventional medicine had told me. This raw, unfiltered account chronicles my shocking discovery that certain dietary approaches--specifically ketogenic and carnivore eating--could calm my racing heart when nothing else would. From the terrifying SVT episodes that sent my heart rate soaring over 200 BPM to the unexpected freedom I found through questioning nutritional orthodoxy, this book reveals the missing piece that transformed my life. Inside this eye-opening journey, you'll discover: The dangerous blood sugar rollercoaster that triggers adrenaline releases and heart palpitations (pg. 28) My step-by-step pantry purge and transition plan that prevented the dreaded "keto flu" (pg. 38) The dramatic heart improvements I experienced within just 3 days of dietary change (pg. 44) Why large green salads--supposedly the healthiest foods--were actually triggering my symptoms (pg. 55) The "heart awareness" signals I learned to recognize before full episodes struck (pg. 53) How temporary interventions created lasting nervous system changes (pg. 73) The sprint training technique that helped me overcome exercise anxiety (pg. 86) Why finding your personal middle ground is more effective than rigid diet rules (pg. 91) The courage to be "imperfect" with your diet without triggering symptoms (pg. 107) But this isn't just about food--it's about breaking free from the fear that shrinks your world and dims your joy. It's about reclaiming the freedom to eat pizza, enjoy coffee, and live without constantly monitoring your heartbeat. You don't need to commit to a lifetime of dietary restriction. This book shows how these approaches can serve as powerful temporary tools for lasting change, not lifetime sentences. Whether you've tried everything else without success or are just beginning your search for answers, this unconventional approach might be the missing piece in your own journey from frustration to freedom. The path I found might not be right for everyone, but what if it holds the key you've been searching for?
