I'm a physical therapist with over 27 yrs of experience, and have been personally dealing with UC since 2015. From my own extensive research and experience, I can strongly affirm that going carnivore is the best option for reaching remission and stopping all medications when dealing with UC. I tried the SCD diet (12 months), GAPS diet (12 months) , veganism (6 months) and frutarian (aka High Carb) diet (6 months), and none put me in remission. However, just 2 weeks after going 100% carnivore in 2018, the bleeding, pain/cramps, tiredness/fatigue, etc stopped; and the overall healing began. I can honestly say that I now feel better than before UC: I feel cured. In all, UC has been a curse and a blessing in my life. I have also applied this gained knowledge with my chronic pain patients, where dealing with their root cause of inflammation (mostly their diets) is the key ingredient to fixing most of their health and physical issues.
@@davidrodgers4760 Mostly Grass fed beef and lamb meat with organs. I also eat lots of pastured raised eggs and some heritage breed bacon and pork meat. Occasionally, I'll chicken (pastured raised if available) and wild caught fish (mostly salmon and sardines). I don't water fast. I just eat whenever I'm hungry. Usually 2 large meals a day.
@@davidrodgers4760 what I ate and eat is in previous comments. The carnivore diet requires an adjustment period, and you may need some supplements to help you get used to it. We're all different. I suggest you read on it and maybe get a consultation from an expert, like Dr. Shawn Baker. He also has a book and plenty of online content to get you started. Best of luck.
Doctors F'd me up with this. They gave me acid blockers and all my symptoms kept getting worse. I went from a little stomach issue after antibiotics straight to depression , stress , anxiety , food coming back up ( acid refulx ) etc. I mean my sex drive was gone , my strength was gone , i was a wreck ! till i started eating hella fat and meat. When i was down they kept telling me to eat more greens and fruits , diet exercise etc which didn't help for crap. I lost 2/3 years of my life and this makes me mad. I could put somebody 6ft under for putting me thru this. I am so glad i am finding real doctors Like Anthony and others.
Loved this conversation! Most carnivore/ low carb discussions are fundamentally about weight loss. I am not overweight, but it has taken me several years to be able to nourish myself without gut pain. Cutting gluten helped, but inflammation still occurred. A hospital Dietician introduced me to FODMAP diet which helped, but main ‘cure’ has been an animal based zero processed way of eating which I have done myself through the support of TH-cam doctors like these two. Sincere thanks 🙏
Me too. I had tried juicing and vegetarian. I was never overweight but was always bloated. I would do blood work and all was good. I tried carnivore and have not felt the same pain. I have been on it for about three weeks. Weight loss was not my purpose. My goal is to feel better.
@@myrna4445 well done! I’ve been experimenting with Carnivore and Keto for a couple of years now and it’s still an on going process. Recently I have given up all alcohol which has been hard for my brain to cope with, although my body feels better for it! Ultimately I would like to give up coffee......one step at a time! X
@@annettestephens5337 I'm working on giving up coffee too. Down to two cups let day from 7. Rome wasn't built in a day but I strive to be better then yesterday.
@@jeffgobert9325 It’s funny how we have all got so used to rewarding ourselves with things like sugar, coffee, cigarettes and chocolate. But in reality humans lived for many thousands of years without these stimulants I wonder what they used for ‘treats’???
@@annettestephens5337 I mean a treat is relative I think...if all you ate was bison perhaps rabbit is a treat.....there are cultures that had honey as a treat on occasion or chewed on various plants that had medicinal stimulating properties (khat, etc) or different things they found such as berries. The fact that humans have a canabinoid system is interesting as well. Native Americans found tobacco all on their own too. Even elephants eat fermenting fruit on occasion and get "drunk". Things changed when all items became available at all times IMO. It's an interesting thought experiment to ponder what is a "treat " or better what is an personally acceptable choice. Moderation can be all that's required in certain individuals and practicing self control in itself is very rewarding.
Super helpful content. My Crohns symptoms have exponentially decreased since I’ve turned Carnivore. I’ve also seen huge enhancements in my mental acuity, attention, clarity. I am never looking back and feel I can remain Carnivore. The dialogue on systemic healing is so relevant and I appreciate you both dispelling the common arguments about fiber. It’s the first thing everyone jumps on when I say I’m carnivore. Healing the systemic inflammation and resting the gut have helped take care of the rest without me ever thinking about added fiber. I trialed the Low FODMAP, Bean Protocol, Ketogenic, and Fasting/Element diets. Each benefited something a little for very short periods of time, yet left so many other things and symptoms aggressive for Crohns to flare and leave me starting all over again. I have high hopes to fully put Crohns into remission and go off the drugs with Carnivore. Many thanks for bringing this free content to audiences everywhere.
Hi! Thanks for posting your journey! Can I ask are you able to tolerate things like black pepper or using MILD hot sauce for flavor? I like a little flavor on my eggs, but sometimes just use salt or Goat's butter. Also I find that I my gut is okay with a daily avocado. But no pressure! Do what's best for you 💜
Iv had gastritis the last while, spent all my savings trying to get it sorted. My GP wants me on PPI but after the lawsuits and side effects I looked into.. told her Noway!! Natural doctor put me on supplements and told me to increase my veg and take all these different herbs which didn't work either. Without any info I decided just to eat meat and eggs and after 2 weeks I'm feeling alot better. So I'm starting 2 look into carnivore! Look forward to watching this podcast tonight 👍
Since coming across our Dr. Chaffee, I watch all of his videos and all that he is in from other dr's that I follow. Thank God for him and all of these other people talking about a true proper diet.
Thanks so much Dr Chaffee! I've been suffering from chronic constipation and terrible gut motility due to a high fiber diet that they tell you to solve this issue. But, it"s got worse with terrible bloating and gas to go with the chronic constipation where I cannot past stool. I have gone to the carnivore diet to solve my digestive issues.
Fiber and more fiber is the only thing was prescribed. Hard to get more fiber since I was vegan. When I finally transitioned to carnivore I think after the first week the bleeding that was bad I wore a pad stopped! it is the first thing that healed which was amazing. Obviously I have more healing but this was so wonderful. Oh and it’s basically a free treatment. IBS for years gone in a very short time. Everyone I know is suffering from some form of IBS. I was following a very so called clean diet no nasty oils or gluten. Nothing helped until I completely got rid of the very last veggie.
@onewithnature8435full carnivore doesn't work for everyone. It stopped my digestion entirely. Still trying to recover. Were you formerly overweight? I wasn't.
Tbank you for this amazing video. I was diagnosed with Sibo 4 years ago and at the time I had no idea what it was. After seeing so many doctors and a naturopath, I found a knowledgeable doctor who specialized in Sibo. With her help and discovering the carnivore diet through my own research, I have been able to cure my Sibo. After listening to your interview with Kelly Hogan, I literally want to clean out my pantry and rid it of sweetners and coffee! You have motivated me to become 100% carnivore! I'm looking forward to the last 5% making a difference!!!
Hey Doc, Nutrition with Judy just dropped a very good video this morning that goes into some of the detail as to why over doing it on organ meats are likely the cause for Saladino and others "so called need" for carbs. It's relatively short but shows comparisons of data on nutrients of meats and organs and how it can easily get numbers out of whack and cause issues. I would be interested to hear what you think of her hypothesis. And.... see you at 6pm!!
Awesome! Yeah I will likely agree with her assessment. I think it is to do with organ meats, and carbs raise your requirement for vitamins, so it could very well balance things out a bit. Either way, it's not from being carnivore or without carbs, because I and others have been doing this way longer than he has, and none of the same problems
I found Judy's video invaluable! I had the same problem as Saladino - the thumping heart. I tried to have some carbs, but it caused other problems. I then realized it was the aged beef I was eating. I switched to a varied meat/fish diet (well before Judy's video) and added more salt and the thumping has gone. Must be to do with the excess vitamins Judy was talking about. Interesting!
@@jaytee7819 what made you look into the aged beef as a potential cause of your symptoms? It would have never occurred to me that a meat itself could be the issue. Her vitamin theory makes all kinds of sense but I don't get what aged beef would have that makes it do that. Does aging affect the beefs vitamins? There is so much I'm still learning even after being keto for so many years and strict carnivore for almost 2 years and now lion for the past 6 months. It's amazing how much food and "fake food" can control our health. I was very glad when I came across Dr Chaffee. He is brilliant and his arguments seem to be so common sense and easy to grasp. Based on my experience and what I have learned from him, dr berry, dr fung, dr ekberg, dr baker, even dr saladino and some others it is so clear that I am on the right path. Glad I made it at least this far. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I am glad you found your solution as well.
Omg!!! I accidentally pushed what I thought was like button, but pressed the wrong one! And my heart sank as it said it would share with the creator!! Nooooooo 🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️ Please ignore that! I loved your video!!! you are both beautiful souls trying to genuinely help your patients and anyone who will listen. You are both very wise and I really appreciate all the work you are both doing to help our community! Loving both of your videos and learning heaps, thanks so much!! 🙏☺️🙌👊🤙🦋 looking forward to watching more of your videos, and taking charge and flipping the script on my chronic health battles! 🤟💪 have a lovely day!
Thank you Dr Chaffee for always introducing us to intelligent people who don't just do the norm, they actually think outside the box. I am in Melbourne & have Crohn's disease for past 21 years & have been on a flare up since 2019. I came across you by some miracle & heard that people with IBD can go into remission from carnivore diet. I have given it a crack & am in week 3 and feeling great. I haven't adapted yet so still going to toilet lots but haven't touched a pain med in 3 weeks. Thanks so much & I love your video's. Thanks also to Dr Pran. I pray that one day they can do trials on this. God bless x
Hey that's awesome! I'm really glad that you have tried it out, you will feel better and better as you go and you will reverse all of your issues in a matter of months. Have you seen my video on autoimmune diseases? I talked about Crohn's and ulcerative colitis specifically. As to loose stools this is almost always caused by people still eating things like artificial sweeteners or drinking coffee or tea which all cause loose or watery stools. So if you're having any of those then get rid of them first and then if you are only on meat and water and still having loose stools then try eating a little less fat. Good luck with it!
@Anthony Chaffee MD Thank you so much! I am a huge sweet tooth & thought if I give up refined sugar & swap for stevia in the short term then I won't sugar binge because I'm missing out. And it's only in my tea. Yes! That was the one that popped up after I watched a Dr Berry video 😁
Well done! It is time carnivore topics moved away from weight loss. This woe has been discovered by many who are not overweight but have found relief from other ailments through carnivore.
I put my Ulcerative Colitis in remission in a week by eating high fat carnivore diet (mainly grass fed beef and bone marrow). My doctor literally told me I had to choose biologics or surgery. Works almost as quick as steroids with no side effects. 3 days of nausea when you start out but totally worth it. Almost 3 months into the diet now, every time I've cheated I pooped blood. Currently on day 20 without cheating at all. It can be extremely hard for people with food addictions but still worth it in my opinion. I have 5+ other autoimmune conditions that are healing as well. SCD didn't work for me and I can't have dairy other than ghee or butter. The bad bacteria in my stomach multiply like crazy when I tried cheese (I'm assuming due to the lactose).
That's great man, stick with it! Having to face a choice of only major surgery or major my medications is daunting, so I'm so glad you found this and got rid of these issues yourself
Doc, will you pls have an interview with gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz ? Would love to see a “healthy” debate ! I just finished reading this book “Fiber Fueled”. I did a carnivore challenge after watching you, Dr Berry and Sally Norton. But I give every thing a chance, so I read his book. You should invite him for a convo! P.S: You’re awesome! Keep up the good work! Love from NYC❤
Nutrition "advice" from my gastroenterologist has been so confusing! I wish I had known about this way of eating 18 years ago when I developed diverticulitis and a subsequent abscess and fistula at age 36! I had to have 7 inches of my colon removed from a condition I was told typically only affected 70 year olds! I had been on many diets throughout the years trying to combat the Standard American diet and sugar addiction. I asked my gastroenterologist what I should change in terms of food--and he said I could eat whatever I wanted! What!?? Even I knew there MUST have been some link between the food I had been eating and this condition. As I started to research more, I read that I should eat more fiber--but that just caused more pain and distress. I started eating a primarily meat-based way of eating nearly 2 years ago, and my gut symptoms are SO much better. My mom also adopted a keto diet to reverse her Type 2 diabetes. She was able to transition off insulin within just a few months. Food is medicine--I wish I had learned that earlier in life!
What about genetics? My ancestors for instance are northern European. They had very little access to plant foods, especially during winter. Dr. Yoganathan's ancestors, I'm speculating, lived in a region with dense vegitation. Most likely, in both instances, for millenia with acompanying biological evolution (mircobiome etc.) Only in the past few centuries has the accessablity changed. And drastically at that. Would it be safe to assume that, processed foods aside, we have differing biological preferences for optimal health? Thank you for this upload. Very informative.
Dr Chaffee thank you for this podcast...very informative. I particularly noted what your guest said about our drinking water. Here in Arkansas, our water source is Rain Water Collection with UV and filtering. It has been tested and is almost 100% pure water. Hopefully, we have that part under control. Another way people can assure they are healthy.
I wish I would have had any doctor give dietary suggestions like this before I lost my colon, ended up with an ileostomy & proctectomy. All my autoimmune illness issues resolved on carnivore. I feel amazing.
After fully embracing AC,MD lead on proper diet [ truth ], finding our way with patience to correct years of false diet, would love to hear any thoughts on Fermented Foods. Pretty sure we suffer from some sort of IBS/IBD/ etc, we have introduced dome ferments prior to our meat consuming, and as the "test" subject have noticed the gut seems to enjoy them. Hard and fast is NO plant food, but during this repair period it's helping near we can tell. In time we can stop them, when fully adjusted. Very appreciative for all the guidance here Anthony. We are a dedicated student here/now.
I'd really love to hear your take (and Dr. Pran's) on natural ways to release gallstones successfully, and if this can be done while on a carnivore diet. Regardless, I can't wait for this talk either. :)
We didnt talk about that here, but should have you're right. I've spoken about it on videos such as Carnivore vs Vegan Diets and Carnivore Digestion, but short answer is if you're eating a lot of fat, you cannot get gallstones, and unless they obstruct, it can get rid of them as well. I've seen it happen
About ancient health > If you got food , you got the right food and you got old. Also we have a very clear short term data on how BAD our diet is today due to GREED and laziness . Ups that was 2 out of seven . BTW isn't fasting ancestral ? I mean they hardly had three meals a day + take away. Fasting is not starving - like I said above . Eat fully and less often. To me that mimics ancestral lifestyle. When a fully trained non addicted carnivore you probably can safely eat when you are truly hungry and let your evolution regulate, right?
In my first half of the 40ies I lived on a diet of cigarettes and alcohol. I also did kajak, bicycle, training, running- daily. I had hardly any body fat. I fasted without wanting to. I don't think anybody would deem this healthy BUT maybe need to look at longterm sustainability when talking about diet. Younger people ,like your wonderful impressive selves, can live on pretty much anything - but for how long? Today : fasting and predominantly carnivore. I lift heavy during 48 hour fasts too ( at the 40hour mark)I have 48 hour fast once a week and daily 20 hour fast or so. I am 60 in spite of a lifestyle that , even after stopping with cigs and alcohol, that made me obese / overweight. Now I want to go back to being strong - and I will thanks to low carb/ carnivore/fasting and building muscle. I did the 180 some years ago turning my back on calories -in -calories- out paradigme and luckily I found doctors who also did. Thank you
I would be very interested in hearing both your thoughts on eating carnivore while having PSC with overlapping IAH. Thank you for all the info you’ve put out I’ve learned a lot so far.
Looking forward to listening in. I challenged myself and went strict carnivore the last seven days and I enjoyed it. I didn’t need a rest day the day after leg day (I lift 150 - 200lbs with my legs). This may be far fetched, but I swear my hair grew like an inch within a week lol.
That's great! Yeah, the last little bit of going full Carnivore gives so much benefit. Haha, that's gret about your hair as well! People do notice hair and nails get far healthier and stronger this way as well. Just another sign of good health
Common men, can’t the australian guy buy a small mic so we can hear him without the echo? You have to turn the volume up hard, and when dr Anthony speaks it just scares you, too loud!
Dr Chaffee, I'm a dentist in St.Louis doing carnivore to heal a really bad leaky gut. I feel like I'm doing a lot of things right but still want a Practitioner to consult me on an exact protocol and answer questions. Do you still take new patients? I hope!! Thanks 😊
The Dr. removed all but 8" of my colon because it just didn't work. It didn't change my situation and I wondered if anyone can tell me if this changes how I do Carnivore or the supplements I need.
What is recommended for someone who has biliary hyperkinesia (overactive gallballder, ie high ejection fraction rate per HIDA scan)? Normally, the opposite is found, ie hypokinesia of the gb. Hyperkinesia is rare, but produces similar issues of biliary colic, coarse liver findings on u/s, and gb distention with thickened walls.... But no stone formation or sludge. Would taking tudca or bile salts help ease the burden on the gallbladder and calm it down? Removal is usually the treatment, but not gonna do that! Also, what would cause the liver to be coarse on the ultrasound... Would this be fat or fibrotic tissue? (there is no history of drinking, and following a ketovore/carnivore diet for a while) Thank u for your insight!
What if my GERD was cured with a plant based diet but then that caused other muscular problems? So now I’m eating omnivore and my GERD is back? I don’t want to keep eating plant based.
I am a newbie to the carnivore diet. I am recovering from my 2nd knee replacement surgery. My question is : How will going strictly carnivore, affect the healing process?
@@davidrodgers4760 I eat meat and fat-- a little dairy, a little liver... fish and seafood when I can afford it:P Depression gone, mood 100 times better and much more able to deal with things. Less and less joint pain, loosing fat, more energy.. and this is just a few weeks in being strict on the carbs.
Audio a bit quiet but interesting. Kind of obvious stuff though really. Funny that 10,000 years ago we did not need this discussion.how much of knowledge is about unlearning previous convincing assumptions
I’ve had doctors tell me high fat diet is bad bad for IBS ppl. I had some grass fed beef a couple weeks ago and haven’t had red meat in probably 7months. It gave me the poops for a couple days. Is this normal?
Hey dr! Hoping you could help with a question. 4 weeks in and I’ve noticed changes almost all good. Only thing I’m concerned with is my heart seems to pump harder now. Like a little faster but still normal but manly very strong beats that shake me at times. Could this be electrolyte imbalance? I am still taking zero carb caffeine but same amounts as I use to. Haven’t been able to kick it lol hope you see this and thanks!
Hey no worries! Yeah I would first drop the caffeine, as on Carnivore it will affect you much, much more. So that first. Second, heavy beats can happen, and did for me, but they are often just your heart starting to get more fit and healthy. There are EKG patterns that we see commonly in athletes who are getting in better shape, and I've seen this in several of these Carnivore heavy heart beat patients. However, that doesn't mean that's what's happening to you, and so if you have a concern you should get an EKG yourself and see what's going on
Have a good friend on FODMAP. He studiously avoids a small piece of mushroom or a sliver of onion, but eats freely of the #1 item on the list, wheat. Bread and pasta. Go figure. I tell him he either ferments too well or too poorly and to eliminate the fermentable foods and just try eating nothing but fatty meat for 2 weeks, but he wont.
I’ve been on Carnivore since November 10th- I have had a skin issue for the last few years & that was the reason I decided to start this lifestyle. Sadly it has not helped my skin at all, it’s exploded & has caused me so much pain that I feel I am slowly dying. I am so weak I can only bench press the bar when my PR last year was 135. I have lost so much weight I am now down to 121 & everyone tells me that I look sick. I am at my wits end. I have eaten nothing but meat, salt & water for the last 8 days & I know I am dehydrated even though I drink 8-30oz tumblers a day. I’m at my wits end as I think my mind is even losing rational thoughts. 😭
Check out sally k norton on oxalates (plant toxins). They build up in our bodies and for some going strict carnivore signals to the body to start dumping them out, requiring a bit of add back of the plant, temporarly to slow down the dumping effects while healing. Nutrition with judy and other carnivores have had sally on their channels. I hope you find relief very soon!
@@karenbole7130 I added my almonds back in for my 10 am snack- did that for 2& 1/2 weeks- no improvement. I wasn’t a big vegetable eater before Carnivore but I was willing to try anything to heal my skin. Didn’t work. 😔
@Chele1985 How much fat are you getting as well? I try to get about 80% of my calories from fat. Cholesterol is the precursor to all of your main hormones as well, so this can often be an issue. Lots of fat and time will see you through though, but some do experience a rough transition period. Sometimes from oxalates as suggested, and sometimes for other reasons, but they all get through it and feel 1000x better for having done it.
@@anthonychaffeemd I add ghee, bacon grease to fry my beef patties. I’m not a fan of steak so I eat a lot of roast which leftovers have to have some moisturize or it’s too dry so I will put a couple tsp on 10 ounces of roast. I’ve lost my appetite so I eat supper but don’t eat again until lunch. Some days I don’t get very much down but it always has bacon grease, ghee or butter on it to make the meat moist. So I’m still eating meat, just fill up pretty quickly which is probably why I keep losing weight.
Dr. Chaffee What about parasites and flesh? I read a lot that meat transmits parasites and if you already have parasites it gets worse by meat. is this true? There is also a lot of antibiotics in meat that we get in our body. I have parasites its hard to eat meat they like meat 😔
@@anthonychaffeemd interesting take, I have had been the most successful on carnivore (as many people I know) with enough salt after reading the salt fix from Dr Jamesdinicolantonio and also info from Robb Wolf. In my understanding, insulin as it lowers you lose more electrolytes at the level of the kidney and you need a way to replenish that. Could you explain where you are basing that you possibly don’t need extra salt ? Maybe do a podcast about it :)
Pran is clearly still a victim of carb addiction and has not attempted a ketogenic carnivore diet long enough to understand that carbs are not necessary for athletic performance. Your recent chat with Bart Kay is much more informative. “Quality carbohydrate” is just a bullshit term to justify feeding a person’s carb addiction. The purpose of consuming carbohydrates is to derive energy from them. You can much more effectively assimilate energy from pure sugar than you can from a “whole food” like a yam that contains a bunch of fiber and polysaccharides. That’s why people instinctively prefer sources of carbs from pure monosaccharides and disaccharides (refined sugars) > fruit > vegetable juice > tubers cooked to the point of caramelization > tubers cooked at lower temperature > cooked starches > raw tubers/starches. People are driven first by the taste of fructose, then by the taste of glucose. If you can’t taste fructose or glucose in a carbohydrate-dominant food, you have no instinctive inclination to eat it. The only justifications for eating a “whole food” carbohydrate instead of sugar is that it (1) nourishes your gut biome and intestinal lining (which is only a valid argument in the absence of other means of sustaining your gut biome like ketogenesis), and (2) helps prevent you from endlessly consuming carbohydrates because you’ll eventually become so bloated with fiber you can’t eat anymore (speaking from experience on a Specific Carbohydrate diet). Thanks, Anthony, for continuing to cut through all the bullshit out there. Leading by example!
I have a question is it possible to get a leaky gut after taking fluoroquinolone. It's been 3 months after taking it and my health is getting worse ( joint pain, depression). I was on a carnivore diet for a couple of months, but I wasn't feeling good, my total cholesterol reached 429 (from 170) and I had issue with electrolytes ( mainly calcium), and sudden rise in blood pressure
dr. Chaffee, I've been carnivore for 3 months now but still having pain from what I'll call periphial neuropathy....pain,tingling, numbness in mostly the left hand. Do you reckon it will go away if I continue strict carnivore? I'm a 64 yo male. thank you for all you do.
Look into Thiamine (B1) deficiency - I think carnivore is great because it leaves out all potentially reactive things. But I also think there might still be deficiencies (maybe from an unbalanced diet for years before) so it makes sense to supplement in the beginning. Don't be misled by the demagogues who say "meat has everything". Yeah sure - but only if you are perfectly adapted and have the right gut biome.
@@wondroustransition1622 Yes indeed, this is the conclusion I have come to also. thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm doing ok with carn but not thriving. I'm continuing to experiment with things like more fat, less fat more beef, more seafood, etc. I'm also taking the youngevity supplements which are supposed to be sooo good for you but I can't say they've made much of a difference. Yep, if a large percent of the intestinal villi are unable to absorb nutrients for whatever reasons then it's not going to work well. also oxalate dumping may be going on so I'm just trying to push through it. I got natasha mcbrides book so might get some new ideas there.
@@goldprogoldpro7809 Yeah, I'm in the same boat - I also believe that my body is not really able to completely take in all nutrients for whatever reason. Always tired, dark circles under my eyes... still hanging in there and also got some positive effects from carnivore e.g. no more joint pain which is a big win 🙂. Pretty sure I will figure it out in time - or maybe everything will resolve eventually. Good luck to you!
On carnivore I am consistently constipated. I follow what all the carnivore doctors say to do and I can't seem to get it right. My gut is just not working with me. I'm at a loss for what to do I've tried everything. Please help😢
Hey I'm like the opposite and have bursts on ibs and diarrhoea😢 from what I know diet cordial could be doing it to myself and or some medications. First week of carnivore I've had two massive upsets but I did drink the diet cordial. I wish I could produce a firm stool😮😢 Maybe diet cordial could loosen you up or try a laxative.
he has another video where he says go 80% fat. you may need an app you can get it free online. I tried it, it did work that day as he said…but it’s “hard” to eat that much fat. Wait, that can’t be right 😂 just add more butter. 🎉❤
Thank you so much for a very informative episode. I’ve had ins all my life and have also developed allergies and asthma late in life. We are all individuals and that’s the problem. They want to bunch us all together when it should be an individualised situation. Hmm climate change, they need to stop spraying our food with the chemicals that cause harm. Organic is better and understand that food costs a lot more if you purchase organic. I suggest people wash the fruit and veggies with vinegar before they consume them or put them in fridge. Eat what you can but in moderation. Avoid foods that are packaged and contains more than 3 ingredients. Processed food is our biggest issue and plant based food isn’t necessarily the best option. If you are going to buy meat buy it from a reputable butcher unless the supermarket can guarantee that the meat is of good quality without preservatives. Learn to make everything from scratch, it’s not really all that hard and you can meal prep in advance. I get that people are busy but it can be done. grow your own food, ok it’s hard work but totally worth it. I put in 30 tomato plants this year and I made heaps of passata, pasta sauce, relish, chutney, sauce, Quetta, pickles etc etc. you can also buy your tomatoes in for passata and pasta sauce. I’m now done after 4 weeks worth of work. All you need is a little bit of knowledge, jars, hard work and storage space. If you would like recipes just send a message. Also also preservatives will affect your bowel and if you drink wine, watch the sulphurs etc. there are certain wines I don’t drink like the pink ones. You will learn as you progress your journey, Cheers and blessing to everyone. Ps keep a food diary if you need to pinpoint a problem. 🙏 And deer meat is great I never ate it until I met my partner. But you have to know what to look for.
Not easy to understand a Sri Lankan speaking Aussie-Kiwi - too bad. Must be some good information under the speedy verbosity. Good point about extracting plant protein.
Meat is good And some vegetables are good for you. Why does it have to be black or white all the time with everything with people so they can be part of a group?
If anyone is able to mark out the time stamps for this episode, it would be very much appreciated! Please post them in a reply to this message if you are able to do it. Thank you very much!

I'm a physical therapist with over 27 yrs of experience, and have been personally dealing with UC since 2015. From my own extensive research and experience, I can strongly affirm that going carnivore is the best option for reaching remission and stopping all medications when dealing with UC. I tried the SCD diet (12 months), GAPS diet (12 months) , veganism (6 months) and frutarian (aka High Carb) diet (6 months), and none put me in remission. However, just 2 weeks after going 100% carnivore in 2018, the bleeding, pain/cramps, tiredness/fatigue, etc stopped; and the overall healing began. I can honestly say that I now feel better than before UC: I feel cured. In all, UC has been a curse and a blessing in my life.
I have also applied this gained knowledge with my chronic pain patients, where dealing with their root cause of inflammation (mostly their diets) is the key ingredient to fixing most of their health and physical issues.
Wow,4yrs strict carnivore..what exactly do you eat,?..do you waterfast
@@davidrodgers4760 Mostly Grass fed beef and lamb meat with organs. I also eat lots of pastured raised eggs and some heritage breed bacon and pork meat. Occasionally, I'll chicken (pastured raised if available) and wild caught fish (mostly salmon and sardines). I don't water fast. I just eat whenever I'm hungry. Usually 2 large meals a day.
@@davidrodgers4760 how lond did it take what?
@@davidrodgers4760 symptom free w/in 2 weeks. Overall healing about 18 months.
@@davidrodgers4760 what I ate and eat is in previous comments. The carnivore diet requires an adjustment period, and you may need some supplements to help you get used to it. We're all different. I suggest you read on it and maybe get a consultation from an expert, like Dr. Shawn Baker. He also has a book and plenty of online content to get you started. Best of luck.
Doctors F'd me up with this. They gave me acid blockers and all my symptoms kept getting worse. I went from a little stomach issue after antibiotics straight to depression , stress , anxiety , food coming back up ( acid refulx ) etc. I mean my sex drive was gone , my strength was gone , i was a wreck ! till i started eating hella fat and meat. When i was down they kept telling me to eat more greens and fruits , diet exercise etc which didn't help for crap. I lost 2/3 years of my life and this makes me mad. I could put somebody 6ft under for putting me thru this. I am so glad i am finding real doctors Like Anthony and others.
So awesome to see these two together! Medicine needs a reset! That's the real Great Reset!
I totally agree!
Loved this conversation! Most carnivore/ low carb discussions are fundamentally about weight loss. I am not overweight, but it has taken me several years to be able to nourish myself without gut pain. Cutting gluten helped, but inflammation still occurred. A hospital Dietician introduced me to FODMAP diet which helped, but main ‘cure’ has been an animal based zero processed way of eating which I have done myself through the support of TH-cam doctors like these two. Sincere thanks 🙏
Me too. I had tried juicing and vegetarian. I was never overweight but was always bloated. I would do blood work and all was good. I tried carnivore and have not felt the same pain. I have been on it for about three weeks. Weight loss was not my purpose. My goal is to feel better.
@@myrna4445 well done! I’ve been experimenting with Carnivore and Keto for a couple of years now and it’s still an on going process. Recently I have given up all alcohol which has been hard for my brain to cope with, although my body feels better for it! Ultimately I would like to give up coffee......one step at a time! X
@@annettestephens5337 I'm working on giving up coffee too. Down to two cups let day from 7. Rome wasn't built in a day but I strive to be better then yesterday.
@@jeffgobert9325 It’s funny how we have all got so used to rewarding ourselves with things like sugar, coffee, cigarettes and chocolate. But in reality humans lived for many thousands of years without these stimulants I wonder what they used for ‘treats’???
@@annettestephens5337 I mean a treat is relative I think...if all you ate was bison perhaps rabbit is a treat.....there are cultures that had honey as a treat on occasion or chewed on various plants that had medicinal stimulating properties (khat, etc) or different things they found such as berries. The fact that humans have a canabinoid system is interesting as well. Native Americans found tobacco all on their own too. Even elephants eat fermenting fruit on occasion and get "drunk". Things changed when all items became available at all times IMO. It's an interesting thought experiment to ponder what is a "treat " or better what is an personally acceptable choice. Moderation can be all that's required in certain individuals and practicing self control in itself is very rewarding.
I literally can’t wait I have watched every single other video you have on this channel in full haha 😆
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
Super helpful content. My Crohns symptoms have exponentially decreased since I’ve turned Carnivore. I’ve also seen huge enhancements in my mental acuity, attention, clarity. I am never looking back and feel I can remain Carnivore. The dialogue on systemic healing is so relevant and I appreciate you both dispelling the common arguments about fiber. It’s the first thing everyone jumps on when I say I’m carnivore. Healing the systemic inflammation and resting the gut have helped take care of the rest without me ever thinking about added fiber. I trialed the Low FODMAP, Bean Protocol, Ketogenic, and Fasting/Element diets. Each benefited something a little for very short periods of time, yet left so many other things and symptoms aggressive for Crohns to flare and leave me starting all over again. I have high hopes to fully put Crohns into remission and go off the drugs with Carnivore. Many thanks for bringing this free content to audiences everywhere.
Hi! Thanks for posting your journey!
Can I ask are you able to tolerate things like black pepper or using MILD hot sauce for flavor? I like a little flavor on my eggs, but sometimes just use salt or Goat's butter. Also I find that I my gut is okay with a daily avocado. But no pressure! Do what's best for you 💜
Great..what exactly do u eat?do u waterfast?
How are you now?
Dr Chaffee thank you so much for the time you spend educating and inspiring people, with the limited spare time you have.
Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! And I'm really glad you're finding it useful. Definitely makes it worthwhile
Iv had gastritis the last while, spent all my savings trying to get it sorted. My GP wants me on PPI but after the lawsuits and side effects I looked into.. told her Noway!! Natural doctor put me on supplements and told me to increase my veg and take all these different herbs which didn't work either. Without any info I decided just to eat meat and eggs and after 2 weeks I'm feeling alot better. So I'm starting 2 look into carnivore! Look forward to watching this podcast tonight 👍
DR C! Or is it DR. See. Thanks for your work to help us see .
Since coming across our Dr. Chaffee, I watch all of his videos and all that he is in from other dr's that I follow. Thank God for him and all of these other people talking about a true proper diet.
I love watching this channel. But please do not have guests on unless the audio is quality. Thanks for all your videos. Very helpful 😊
Wow….free info and you have a narcissistic attitude. How about this, go to school and do your own damn videos
🤡 @@MaryLovesLex
Thanks so much Dr Chaffee! I've been suffering from chronic constipation and terrible gut motility due to a high fiber diet that they tell you to solve this issue. But, it"s got worse with terrible bloating and gas to go with the chronic constipation where I cannot past stool. I have gone to the carnivore diet to solve my digestive issues.
Fiber and more fiber is the only thing was prescribed. Hard to get more fiber since I was vegan. When I finally transitioned to carnivore I think after the first week the bleeding that was bad I wore a pad stopped! it is the first thing that healed which was amazing. Obviously I have more healing but this was so wonderful. Oh and it’s basically a free treatment. IBS for years gone in a very short time. Everyone I know is suffering from some form of IBS. I was following a very so called clean diet no nasty oils or gluten. Nothing helped until I completely got rid of the very last veggie.
@onewithnature8435full carnivore doesn't work for everyone. It stopped my digestion entirely. Still trying to recover. Were you formerly overweight? I wasn't.
@onewithnature8435 👍
Tbank you for this amazing video. I was diagnosed with Sibo 4 years ago and at the time I had no idea what it was. After seeing so many doctors and a naturopath, I found a knowledgeable doctor who specialized in Sibo. With her help and discovering the carnivore diet through my own research, I have been able to cure my Sibo. After listening to your interview with Kelly Hogan, I literally want to clean out my pantry and rid it of sweetners and coffee! You have motivated me to become 100% carnivore! I'm looking forward to the last 5% making a difference!!!
Awesome, I'm excited for you! And thank you, I'm really glad you liked it!
May I ask how you were able to cure it?
How did you cubit? Thank you!
Hey Doc, Nutrition with Judy just dropped a very good video this morning that goes into some of the detail as to why over doing it on organ meats are likely the cause for Saladino and others "so called need" for carbs. It's relatively short but shows comparisons of data on nutrients of meats and organs and how it can easily get numbers out of whack and cause issues. I would be interested to hear what you think of her hypothesis. And.... see you at 6pm!!
Here is link to that video.
th-cam.com/video/EGGuJtV-Jb4/w-d-xo.html
Awesome! Yeah I will likely agree with her assessment. I think it is to do with organ meats, and carbs raise your requirement for vitamins, so it could very well balance things out a bit. Either way, it's not from being carnivore or without carbs, because I and others have been doing this way longer than he has, and none of the same problems
@@anthonychaffeemd 100% agree!
I found Judy's video invaluable! I had the same problem as Saladino - the thumping heart. I tried to have some carbs, but it caused other problems. I then realized it was the aged beef I was eating. I switched to a varied meat/fish diet (well before Judy's video) and added more salt and the thumping has gone. Must be to do with the excess vitamins Judy was talking about. Interesting!
@@jaytee7819 what made you look into the aged beef as a potential cause of your symptoms? It would have never occurred to me that a meat itself could be the issue. Her vitamin theory makes all kinds of sense but I don't get what aged beef would have that makes it do that. Does aging affect the beefs vitamins? There is so much I'm still learning even after being keto for so many years and strict carnivore for almost 2 years and now lion for the past 6 months. It's amazing how much food and "fake food" can control our health. I was very glad when I came across Dr Chaffee. He is brilliant and his arguments seem to be so common sense and easy to grasp. Based on my experience and what I have learned from him, dr berry, dr fung, dr ekberg, dr baker, even dr saladino and some others it is so clear that I am on the right path. Glad I made it at least this far. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I am glad you found your solution as well.
Omg!!! I accidentally pushed what I thought was like button, but pressed the wrong one! And my heart sank as it said it would share with the creator!! Nooooooo 🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️ Please ignore that! I loved your video!!! you are both beautiful souls trying to genuinely help your patients and anyone who will listen. You are both very wise and I really appreciate all the work you are both doing to help our community! Loving both of your videos and learning heaps, thanks so much!! 🙏☺️🙌👊🤙🦋 looking forward to watching more of your videos, and taking charge and flipping the script on my chronic health battles! 🤟💪 have a lovely day!
That's ok! Don't sweat it :) And than you so much! I really appreciate that!
So glad someone in the carnivore community is finally talking about gut microbiome.
Thank you Dr Chaffee for always introducing us to intelligent people who don't just do the norm, they actually think outside the box. I am in Melbourne & have Crohn's disease for past 21 years & have been on a flare up since 2019. I came across you by some miracle & heard that people with IBD can go into remission from carnivore diet. I have given it a crack & am in week 3 and feeling great. I haven't adapted yet so still going to toilet lots but haven't touched a pain med in 3 weeks. Thanks so much & I love your video's. Thanks also to Dr Pran. I pray that one day they can do trials on this. God bless x
Hey that's awesome! I'm really glad that you have tried it out, you will feel better and better as you go and you will reverse all of your issues in a matter of months. Have you seen my video on autoimmune diseases? I talked about Crohn's and ulcerative colitis specifically.
As to loose stools this is almost always caused by people still eating things like artificial sweeteners or drinking coffee or tea which all cause loose or watery stools. So if you're having any of those then get rid of them first and then if you are only on meat and water and still having loose stools then try eating a little less fat. Good luck with it!
@Anthony Chaffee MD Thank you so much! I am a huge sweet tooth & thought if I give up refined sugar & swap for stevia in the short term then I won't sugar binge because I'm missing out. And it's only in my tea.
Yes! That was the one that popped up after I watched a Dr Berry video 😁
@@Helwa1973hi, carnivore diet helped you?
Well done! It is time carnivore topics moved away from weight loss. This woe has been discovered by many who are not overweight but have found relief from other ailments through carnivore.
Excellent interview! Pran is a solid guest. Well done 🥩💪🤙
Thank you! Yeah I agree, Pran is great
I put my Ulcerative Colitis in remission in a week by eating high fat carnivore diet (mainly grass fed beef and bone marrow). My doctor literally told me I had to choose biologics or surgery. Works almost as quick as steroids with no side effects. 3 days of nausea when you start out but totally worth it. Almost 3 months into the diet now, every time I've cheated I pooped blood. Currently on day 20 without cheating at all. It can be extremely hard for people with food addictions but still worth it in my opinion. I have 5+ other autoimmune conditions that are healing as well. SCD didn't work for me and I can't have dairy other than ghee or butter. The bad bacteria in my stomach multiply like crazy when I tried cheese (I'm assuming due to the lactose).
That's great man, stick with it! Having to face a choice of only major surgery or major my medications is daunting, so I'm so glad you found this and got rid of these issues yourself
How are you doing now?
Doc, will you pls have an interview with gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz ? Would love to see a “healthy” debate ! I just finished reading this book “Fiber Fueled”. I did a carnivore challenge after watching you, Dr Berry and Sally Norton. But I give every thing a chance, so I read his book. You should invite him for a convo! P.S: You’re awesome! Keep up the good work! Love from NYC❤
Nutrition "advice" from my gastroenterologist has been so confusing! I wish I had known about this way of eating 18 years ago when I developed diverticulitis and a subsequent abscess and fistula at age 36! I had to have 7 inches of my colon removed from a condition I was told typically only affected 70 year olds! I had been on many diets throughout the years trying to combat the Standard American diet and sugar addiction. I asked my gastroenterologist what I should change in terms of food--and he said I could eat whatever I wanted! What!?? Even I knew there MUST have been some link between the food I had been eating and this condition. As I started to research more, I read that I should eat more fiber--but that just caused more pain and distress. I started eating a primarily meat-based way of eating nearly 2 years ago, and my gut symptoms are SO much better. My mom also adopted a keto diet to reverse her Type 2 diabetes. She was able to transition off insulin within just a few months. Food is medicine--I wish I had learned that earlier in life!
I wish you had as well! But I'm really glad you've found it now
U healed fistula w carnivore??
I had pretty bad IBS with Keto. Carnivore finally healed it.
As carnivore I feel like I don't need to watch but I'm here for it!
What about genetics?
My ancestors for instance are northern European. They had very little access to plant foods, especially during winter.
Dr. Yoganathan's ancestors, I'm speculating, lived in a region with dense vegitation. Most likely, in both instances, for millenia with acompanying biological evolution (mircobiome etc.) Only in the past few centuries has the accessablity changed. And drastically at that. Would it be safe to assume that, processed foods aside, we have differing biological preferences for optimal health?
Thank you for this upload. Very informative.
Dr Chaffee thank you for this podcast...very informative. I particularly noted what your guest said about our drinking water. Here in Arkansas, our water source is Rain Water Collection with UV and filtering. It has been tested and is almost 100% pure water. Hopefully, we have that part under control. Another way people can assure they are healthy.
I wish Dr Pran had used a better microphone. However Dr Chaffee's is perfect.
I wish I would have had any doctor give dietary suggestions like this before I lost my colon, ended up with an ileostomy & proctectomy. All my autoimmune illness issues resolved on carnivore. I feel amazing.
After fully embracing AC,MD lead on proper diet [ truth ], finding our way with patience to correct years of false diet, would love to hear any thoughts on Fermented Foods. Pretty sure we suffer from some sort of IBS/IBD/ etc, we have introduced dome ferments prior to our meat consuming, and as the "test" subject have noticed the gut seems to enjoy them. Hard and fast is NO plant food, but during this repair period it's helping near we can tell. In time we can stop them, when fully adjusted. Very appreciative for all the guidance here Anthony. We are a dedicated student here/now.
Yeah fermented foods can be more readily digestible, and blunt some of the toxins. But not all, of course.
I'd really love to hear your take (and Dr. Pran's) on natural ways to release gallstones successfully, and if this can be done while on a carnivore diet. Regardless, I can't wait for this talk either. :)
We didnt talk about that here, but should have you're right. I've spoken about it on videos such as Carnivore vs Vegan Diets and Carnivore Digestion, but short answer is if you're eating a lot of fat, you cannot get gallstones, and unless they obstruct, it can get rid of them as well. I've seen it happen
Research Serrapeptase (and Nattokinase), but ALWAYS check with your health care provider before trying it.
I’m super interested about this too
Thank you for your response! I’ll take a look at those other talks.
Try conjugated bile salts and Tudca!
Fantastic interview. I love how well this stuff is becoming understood.
About ancient health > If you got food , you got the right food and you got old. Also we have a very clear short term data on how BAD our diet is today due to GREED and laziness . Ups that was 2 out of seven .
BTW isn't fasting ancestral ? I mean they hardly had three meals a day + take away. Fasting is not starving - like I said above . Eat fully and less often. To me that mimics ancestral lifestyle. When a fully trained non addicted carnivore you probably can safely eat when you are truly hungry and let your evolution regulate, right?
Yes,what exactly do you eat,and how often do you wsterfast and usually for how long?? Thank you.
Great video. Thanks to the both of you.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it !
You should interview Dr. Natasha McBride…she is ahead of many health professionals in the US
important topic !
If gastrointestinal issues are caused by an inability to digest foods, why does it get worse on longer fasts?
He does not seem to address oxalates if he eats sweet potatoes. That was one of the worst things about vegetables for me. Oxalate toxicity.
Yeah I don't eat them myself, but not everyone has seen the benefits of going full bore
In my first half of the 40ies I lived on a diet of cigarettes and alcohol. I also did kajak, bicycle, training, running- daily. I had hardly any body fat. I fasted without wanting to.
I don't think anybody would deem this healthy BUT maybe need to look at longterm sustainability when talking about diet. Younger people ,like your wonderful impressive selves, can live on pretty much anything - but for how long?
Today : fasting and predominantly carnivore. I lift heavy during 48 hour fasts too ( at the 40hour mark)I have 48 hour fast once a week and daily 20 hour fast or so. I am 60 in spite of a lifestyle that , even after stopping with cigs and alcohol, that made me obese / overweight. Now I want to go back to being strong - and I will thanks to low carb/ carnivore/fasting and building muscle. I did the 180 some years ago turning my back on calories -in -calories- out paradigme and luckily I found doctors who also did. Thank you
I would be very interested in hearing both your thoughts on eating carnivore while having PSC with overlapping IAH. Thank you for all the info you’ve put out I’ve learned a lot so far.
that should have been AIH
Doc...have you evered any problem with histamine intolerance after eating exculsivelyy red meats all this year?( No organ meats liver,kidney,etc..)
Not myself, no
Looking forward to listening in. I challenged myself and went strict carnivore the last seven days and I enjoyed it. I didn’t need a rest day the day after leg day (I lift 150 - 200lbs with my legs).
This may be far fetched, but I swear my hair grew like an inch within a week lol.
That's great! Yeah, the last little bit of going full Carnivore gives so much benefit. Haha, that's gret about your hair as well! People do notice hair and nails get far healthier and stronger this way as well. Just another sign of good health
Yes! My hair and nails lol thought it was just me lol
omg this is what came to my mind to. Usually I couldnt walk down the stairs after leg day. I went hard on leg day and I breezed on home. Like what?
YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent episode!

OMG, HURRY UP, ALREADY (please).
I WANNA KNOOOOOOOOW.
Haha yes, 6pm PST :)
Common men, can’t the australian guy buy a small mic so we can hear him without the echo? You have to turn the volume up hard, and when dr Anthony speaks it just scares you, too loud!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Better!! not so inflamed and in pain when exercising now. IBS better.
Dr Chaffee, I'm a dentist in St.Louis doing carnivore to heal a really bad leaky gut. I feel like I'm doing a lot of things right but still want a Practitioner to consult me on an exact protocol and answer questions. Do you still take new patients? I hope!!
Thanks 😊
Bart Kay does consutations. He is on youtube, if the name is new to you.
I was expecting more on IBD ,I'm guessing he doesn't have any patients that are carnivore?
Would like to have heard about SIBO and the diet
Timestamps would be very helpful thank you
After gall bladder removal all I could eat was boiled chicken and potatoes. Always been tiny and now blew up 50 pounds! So going carnivore.
How many calories are you taking everyday?
The Dr. removed all but 8" of my colon because it just didn't work. It didn't change my situation and I wondered if anyone can tell me if this changes how I do Carnivore or the supplements I need.
Where can I find the video on the vegan debate?
How do you find a doctor that follow this diet driven approach?
great topic just very difficult to hear the MD on his mic
What is recommended for someone who has biliary hyperkinesia (overactive gallballder, ie high ejection fraction rate per HIDA scan)?
Normally, the opposite is found, ie hypokinesia of the gb. Hyperkinesia is rare, but produces similar issues of biliary colic, coarse liver findings on u/s, and gb distention with thickened walls.... But no stone formation or sludge.
Would taking tudca or bile salts help ease the burden on the gallbladder and calm it down? Removal is usually the treatment, but not gonna do that!
Also, what would cause the liver to be coarse on the ultrasound... Would this be fat or fibrotic tissue?
(there is no history of drinking, and following a ketovore/carnivore diet for a while)
Thank u for your insight!
Don’t know if you will see this but I take Tudca x 2 years and no more GB sludge so far.
What if my GERD was cured with a plant based diet but then that caused other muscular problems? So now I’m eating omnivore and my GERD is back? I don’t want to keep eating plant based.
I am a newbie to the carnivore diet. I am recovering from my 2nd knee replacement surgery. My question is : How will going strictly carnivore, affect the healing process?
Since everyone ( including me) keeps healing all kinds of issues, I would guess it would affect it positively.
@@Goldenhawk583 thanks,what exactly do you eat and what issues did u cure .thanks.

Can you link the video you referred to in the intro?
I do wonder what gut health looks like on a carnivore diet long term via GI Map?
I’ve had doctors tell me high fat diet is bad bad for IBS ppl. I had some grass fed beef a couple weeks ago and haven’t had red meat in probably 7months. It gave me the poops for a couple days. Is this normal?
Hey dr! Hoping you could help with a question. 4 weeks in and I’ve noticed changes almost all good. Only thing I’m concerned with is my heart seems to pump harder now. Like a little faster but still normal but manly very strong beats that shake me at times. Could this be electrolyte imbalance? I am still taking zero carb caffeine but same amounts as I use to. Haven’t been able to kick it lol hope you see this and thanks!
Hey no worries! Yeah I would first drop the caffeine, as on Carnivore it will affect you much, much more. So that first. Second, heavy beats can happen, and did for me, but they are often just your heart starting to get more fit and healthy. There are EKG patterns that we see commonly in athletes who are getting in better shape, and I've seen this in several of these Carnivore heavy heart beat patients. However, that doesn't mean that's what's happening to you, and so if you have a concern you should get an EKG yourself and see what's going on
If it's the Carnivore kind though, it's fine and it will pass
@@anthonychaffeemd thank you! Hey do you have a online community or a way for us to give back for all you do?
Have a good friend on FODMAP. He studiously avoids a small piece of mushroom or a sliver of onion, but eats freely of the #1 item on the list, wheat. Bread and pasta. Go figure.
I tell him he either ferments too well or too poorly and to eliminate the fermentable foods and just try eating nothing but fatty meat for 2 weeks, but he wont.
Well maybe someday he will come around and at least give it a try and see for himself. Here's hoping anyway!

I’ve been on Carnivore since November 10th- I have had a skin issue for the last few years & that was the reason I decided to start this lifestyle. Sadly it has not helped my skin at all, it’s exploded & has caused me so much pain that I feel I am slowly dying. I am so weak I can only bench press the bar when my PR last year was 135. I have lost so much weight I am now down to 121 & everyone tells me that I look sick. I am at my wits end. I have eaten nothing but meat, salt & water for the last 8 days & I know I am dehydrated even though I drink 8-30oz tumblers a day. I’m at my wits end as I think my mind is even losing rational thoughts. 😭
Check out sally k norton on oxalates (plant toxins). They build up in our bodies and for some going strict carnivore signals to the body to start dumping them out, requiring a bit of add back of the plant, temporarly to slow down the dumping effects while healing. Nutrition with judy and other carnivores have had sally on their channels. I hope you find relief very soon!
@@karenbole7130 I added my almonds back in for my 10 am snack- did that for 2& 1/2 weeks- no improvement. I wasn’t a big vegetable eater before Carnivore but I was willing to try anything to heal my skin. Didn’t work. 😔
@Chele1985 How much fat are you getting as well? I try to get about 80% of my calories from fat. Cholesterol is the precursor to all of your main hormones as well, so this can often be an issue. Lots of fat and time will see you through though, but some do experience a rough transition period. Sometimes from oxalates as suggested, and sometimes for other reasons, but they all get through it and feel 1000x better for having done it.
@@anthonychaffeemd I add ghee, bacon grease to fry my beef patties. I’m not a fan of steak so I eat a lot of roast which leftovers have to have some moisturize or it’s too dry so I will put a couple tsp on 10 ounces of roast. I’ve lost my appetite so I eat supper but don’t eat again until lunch. Some days I don’t get very much down but it always has bacon grease, ghee or butter on it to make the meat moist. So I’m still eating meat, just fill up pretty quickly which is probably why I keep losing weight.

Dr. Chaffee What about parasites and flesh? I read a lot that meat transmits parasites and if you already have parasites it gets worse by meat. is this true? There is also a lot of antibiotics in meat that we get in our body. I have parasites its hard to eat meat they like meat 😔

Do I need salt on the carnivore???whenever time I have salt it make my eyes very puffy.
You dont need it if you dont want it
I have the same issue with salt
Redmonds Celtics any salt
@@anthonychaffeemd interesting take, I have had been the most successful on carnivore (as many people I know) with enough salt after reading the salt fix from Dr Jamesdinicolantonio and also info from Robb Wolf. In my understanding, insulin as it lowers you lose more electrolytes at the level of the kidney and you need a way to replenish that. Could you explain where you are basing that you possibly don’t need extra salt ? Maybe do a podcast about it :)
I find I need lots of salt. If I don't get it I feel sluggish and weak!
Do we need to drink electrolytes doing this diet
Pran is clearly still a victim of carb addiction and has not attempted a ketogenic carnivore diet long enough to understand that carbs are not necessary for athletic performance. Your recent chat with Bart Kay is much more informative.
“Quality carbohydrate” is just a bullshit term to justify feeding a person’s carb addiction. The purpose of consuming carbohydrates is to derive energy from them. You can much more effectively assimilate energy from pure sugar than you can from a “whole food” like a yam that contains a bunch of fiber and polysaccharides. That’s why people instinctively prefer sources of carbs from pure monosaccharides and disaccharides (refined sugars) > fruit > vegetable juice > tubers cooked to the point of caramelization > tubers cooked at lower temperature > cooked starches > raw tubers/starches. People are driven first by the taste of fructose, then by the taste of glucose. If you can’t taste fructose or glucose in a carbohydrate-dominant food, you have no instinctive inclination to eat it.
The only justifications for eating a “whole food” carbohydrate instead of sugar is that it (1) nourishes your gut biome and intestinal lining (which is only a valid argument in the absence of other means of sustaining your gut biome like ketogenesis), and (2) helps prevent you from endlessly consuming carbohydrates because you’ll eventually become so bloated with fiber you can’t eat anymore (speaking from experience on a Specific Carbohydrate diet).
Thanks, Anthony, for continuing to cut through all the bullshit out there. Leading by example!
I have a question is it possible to get a leaky gut after taking fluoroquinolone. It's been 3 months after taking it and my health is getting worse ( joint pain, depression). I was on a carnivore diet for a couple of months, but I wasn't feeling good, my total cholesterol reached 429 (from 170) and I had issue with electrolytes ( mainly calcium), and sudden rise in blood pressure
How are you now???
dr. Chaffee, I've been carnivore for 3 months now but still having pain from what I'll call periphial neuropathy....pain,tingling, numbness in mostly the left hand. Do you reckon it will go away if I continue strict carnivore? I'm a 64 yo male. thank you for all you do.
Look into Thiamine (B1) deficiency - I think carnivore is great because it leaves out all potentially reactive things. But I also think there might still be deficiencies (maybe from an unbalanced diet for years before) so it makes sense to supplement in the beginning. Don't be misled by the demagogues who say "meat has everything". Yeah sure - but only if you are perfectly adapted and have the right gut biome.
@@wondroustransition1622 Yes indeed, this is the conclusion I have come to also. thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm doing ok with carn but not thriving. I'm continuing to experiment with things like more fat, less fat more beef, more seafood, etc. I'm also taking the youngevity supplements which are supposed to be sooo good for you but I can't say they've made much of a difference. Yep, if a large percent of the intestinal villi are unable to absorb nutrients for whatever reasons then it's not going to work well. also oxalate dumping may be going on so I'm just trying to push through it. I got natasha mcbrides book so might get some new ideas there.
@@goldprogoldpro7809 Yeah, I'm in the same boat - I also believe that my body is not really able to completely take in all nutrients for whatever reason. Always tired, dark circles under my eyes... still hanging in there and also got some positive effects from carnivore e.g. no more joint pain which is a big win 🙂. Pretty sure I will figure it out in time - or maybe everything will resolve eventually. Good luck to you!
On carnivore I am consistently constipated. I follow what all the carnivore doctors say to do and I can't seem to get it right. My gut is just not working with me. I'm at a loss for what to do I've tried everything. Please help😢
Hey I'm like the opposite and have bursts on ibs and diarrhoea😢 from what I know diet cordial could be doing it to myself and or some medications. First week of carnivore I've had two massive upsets but I did drink the diet cordial. I wish I could produce a firm stool😮😢 Maybe diet cordial could loosen you up or try a laxative.
he has another video where he says go 80% fat. you may need an app you can get it free online. I tried it, it did work that day as he said…but it’s “hard” to eat that much fat. Wait, that can’t be right 😂 just add more butter. 🎉❤
Shame I missed this because I would love an answer as to why fatty ruminant meat is causing me nothing but gastric distress. Simply awful.
Have you had any tick bites?- think about Mammalian meat allergy.
How are you now?
Thank you so much for a very informative episode. I’ve had ins all my life and have also developed allergies and asthma late in life.
We are all individuals and that’s the problem. They want to bunch us all together when it should be an individualised situation.
Hmm climate change, they need to stop spraying our food with the chemicals that cause harm. Organic is better and understand that food costs a lot more if you purchase organic.
I suggest people wash the fruit and veggies with vinegar before they consume them or put them in fridge. Eat what you can but in moderation. Avoid foods that are packaged and contains more than 3 ingredients. Processed food is our biggest issue and plant based food isn’t necessarily the best option.
If you are going to buy meat buy it from a reputable butcher unless the supermarket can guarantee that the meat is of good quality without preservatives.
Learn to make everything from scratch, it’s not really all that hard and you can meal prep in advance.
I get that people are busy but it can be done.
grow your own food, ok it’s hard work but totally worth it. I put in 30 tomato plants this year and I made heaps of passata, pasta sauce, relish, chutney, sauce, Quetta, pickles etc etc. you can also buy your tomatoes in for passata and pasta sauce. I’m now done after 4 weeks worth of work.
All you need is a little bit of knowledge, jars, hard work and storage space.
If you would like recipes just send a message.
Also also preservatives will affect your bowel and if you drink wine, watch the sulphurs etc. there are certain wines I don’t drink like the pink ones. You will learn as you progress your journey,
Cheers and blessing to everyone. Ps keep a food diary if you need to pinpoint a problem. 🙏
And deer meat is great I never ate it until I met my partner. But you have to know what to look for.
Coffee is my intestine’s killer can’t do…. carnivore.
Why does the video have to be so long can you get to the point a lot quicker?
I’ll read through transcripts instead.
there were so many points.. not just one, and if it is too long for you, why not just watch it in 2 or 3 goes rather than 1? :)
Not easy to understand a Sri Lankan speaking Aussie-Kiwi - too bad. Must be some good information under the speedy verbosity. Good point about extracting plant protein.
I have no problems understanding him. Use transcript
Ridiculous comment.. Perfectly coherent, understandable and articulate
He's really difficult to listen to because of the echo
Meat is good And some vegetables are good for you. Why does it have to be black or white all the time with everything with people so they can be part of a group?
this guy is a true carb addict. sheesh
👍🇨🇱
You can’t understand nothing from that english men talking with echo! Wasted time
The doc is on fucking TRT..... and so forth!
How do you know? Do you live with him? 🤔idiot🤪
not on TRT, when you eat all meat, your testosterone is optimal.
