His compelling narrative highlights the significant improvements in health, cognitive function, and athletic performance that followed, a testament to the power of dietary change.
Journey through the biological and evolutionary evidence supporting a meat-centric diet and its role in combating chronic diseases. Dr. Chafee discusses the remarkable benefits of focusing on fatty meats, not just on his own health but in his professional practice as well.

    Dr Chaffee, not only a brilliant Doctor who gives so much information for free but also a great human being. He gave my wife a superb nutritional structure for a rare neurological condition and has checked in regularly on her progress.

    I am an 80-year-old male. In many ways, I'm typical during my younger years, especially in my 20s. I could eat just about anything, and I felt good. I was healthy. I remember being in the Navy; sometimes, I would have weekend liberty. I would rent a hotel room with special rates for service people, and one of my favorite things to do was buy a dollar's worth of candy bars. In 1966, you could buy ten candy bars for a dollar, which were about the same size as today. And I enjoyed sometimes being by myself and having a room and television set all to myself. So I would eat all ten candy bars over the weekend and other standard American diet burgers and fries. I felt great, and at the end of the weekend, I put on my size 31 waist uniform and returned to my ship. As I got into my 30s and 40s, I experienced the same middle-aged weight gain as most people. In my 50s, I developed a nasty case of ulcerative colitis; the doctors told me I would have it for life, and the best we could do was manage it. I spent a miserable year at 54 trying to do what the medical establishment told me. Finally, in desperation, I turned to the Internet and found the Atkins diet against medical advice. I did it anyway because their pills weren't Helping. I eventually threw all the drugs away and went on Atkins, and within six months, my colitis was gone. After that, however, I started developing gout. The medical establishment blamed all the Meat I was eating, never once thinking it could be anything else. I used to love to sauté lots of spinach and cauliflower, but they're healthy, right? They couldn't possibly be causing my gout. I asked my doctors, and the response was well. What do you expect when you eat all that Meat? I quit the Atkins diet and started eating the standard American diet again. I went up to over 260 pounds, felt terrible, and lived that way until I was about 70. The great thing about the ketogenic diet is that it has the correct fat ratio compared to early Atkins, about 70% fat to 30% protein. A few years ago, I accidentally stumbled upon you and Dr. Barry; I started following his advice. What a difference! I now weigh 175; my testosterone went from 2 to over 10. The best thing is that it's relatively easy. If you're hungry, no problem. Grab a ribeye steak or maybe just some ground beef burgers or whatever you like, as long as it's carnivorous. I know there are some people out there who are so addicted to carbohydrates that nothing looks good to them except something like a Dairy Queen hot fudge sundae. The only advice that I can offer is to remember that nothing tastes good enough to feel bad!!!!!

    11:02 such a simple, common sense and cogent message. It’s a wonder how much needs to be said just to consolidate that message.

    22:52 that’d be great to have some links on anthropology’s data. I really need info on that to argue with some MDs that preach herbivorism. Or maybe some carnivore influencers could put their heads together and produce a brochure, where all the knowledge is collected and backed up with research.

    I recommend "Eat Like a Human" by Dr Bill Schindler, an anthropologist. Lots of details and references. Also look up Dr Weston Price, a dentist who traveled the world visiting peoples who ate their traditional diet and compared them with those who ate "modern" industrialized food.

    Is it true that grifter Chaffee is lying about his MD and being a Neurosurgeon? Word on the street is that he only has his Bachelors degree. If true, that's a really big lie

    It seems to me that people are confused about what ‘processed’ means. For instance they forget that Bread is highly processed. The minute you grind up any food. It’s processed and changes the effect. So no rice/almond/coconut flour. I actually ate very low carb high veg diet for years. I got RA during this 8 years. All I had to quit was veggies when I found carnivore. Everything healed! RA, IBS ITCHY FLAKY skin stuff ETC ETC. Eye floaters gone. Gums healed an green back!! Shocking I’m glad I was flexable enough to do this I was vegetarian before keto. Only when I went Carnivore did everything heal!!! Worth a try 🙏🏼🫶🏼
