In my recent discussion with Dr. Anthony Chaffee, we explored the dangers of a standard high-carbohydrate diet and how it wrongly became the norm. He explained how meat was unfortunately vilified due to lobbying by the sugar industry, leading carbohydrates to replace meat in the common diet.
We discussed the myriad benefits of a carnivore diet, including improved mental health by eliminating antinutrients and toxins found in plants. Carnivore provides the brain with ketones, a preferred source of fuel over glucose. It also induces autophagy, a renewal process whereby cells recycle waste material and old cell components. Autophagy generates new healthy mitochondria needed for cellular energy.
Cancer Prevention and Treatment
Intriguingly, the doctors explained how all known cancers have damaged mitochondria. Healthy mitochondria prevent cells from turning cancerous. Hence, a carnivore diet helps prevent cancer by promoting mitochondrial health. Carnivore may even treat existing cancers through a ketogenic metabolic therapy that starves tumor cells of glucose.
Overcoming Challenges
Adopting the carnivore diet poses challenges, but we talked about how tracking improvements in biomarkers convinces many to persevere. I’m happy to refer anyone interested to informational resources to ease the transition.
This was an epic discussion. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Thank you
Wow, the big dog. Chaffee is the reason I’m a carnivore too. This is like a big leaguer coming to a high school baseball game (no offense). That’s why he’s the best. No ego, just facts.
My favourite carnivore is definitely Dr Chaffee. So glad you had him on, and happy you had the opportunity to speak to him.
Great interview. Dr. Chaffee is my hero!
dr Chaffee is a great source formy daily dose of positive reinforcement. Almost 1.5 years into carnivore I still listen to a lot of his QAs. Thank you for an interesting interview!
What a great interview!
❤
I find it amazing that Dr. Chaffee can speak of the corruption in such a calm and intelligent manner despite knowing that the corruption was intentional versus a misinterpretation of data. Maybe I am not a good enough or long enough Carnivore; because it makes me angry. It may be, and is probably true, that the corruption did not know to what extent they would ruin lives. But they have ruined millions of lives that otherwise could have been healthy and fruitful. I am not saying or intending to say anything negative about Dr. Chaffee. Being calm about what he is saying, probably gains and retains more listeners than if he were angry (like me). We need more listeners. A side note/comment; I wonder how many or what percentage of doctors say one thing to their patients but something entirely different and more appropriate to their family… or do they lie to their family as well?
Awesome to have Dr Chaffee on😀. The most selfless & generous human being on the planet!
14 minutes in. This is excellent content. Dr Chaffee is one of the most selfless human beings I have ever encountered. BTW you’re asking some really relevant questions.
Thank you!!
@CarnivoreRabbi Thank you, Rabbi Evans. It was an excellent podcast. You maximised the time you had with Dr Chaffee. This is life saving information. It’s very satisfying to watch your own channel grow. I admire your work ethic. By the way, the section on cancer and mitochondria was on point. Maybe Professor Seyfried will be a future guest? Have a nice day, your end.
Awesome!
He’s the first doctor I listened to. His kind demeanor and his knowledge got me started. 30 days today🌸 I could barely walk up the steps with bad arthritis in both knees! Now? Almost zero pain! I just feel better – 100%!
I agree with all here. Dr Chaffee has so much knowledge and Rabbi you asked the best questions. Thank you!!!
good stuff of course 🙂
The Carnivore Rabbi is a shining light in the proper human diet community. Dr. Chaffee is our Superman. Great collaboration with this interview! 💜🥩💪🌠
King chaffee 👑
Wow! What a pleasant surprise to see Dr. Chaffee on the channel, congratulations! Dr. Chaffee is incredibly generous with his time, I’m always amazed at how he just keeps on giving and sharing. Great interview, thank you both!
P.S. His name is misspelled in the video description.
One of the best interviews I’ve heard concerning the carnivore way of eating.Well done!
Thanks again 😊
Great information! I love the biology of the body and how it will work and heal when fed correctly
Luv Dr C! 🥩😄
