Thanks again to Dr Chaffee and Simon for having me on. Happy to answer any questions on my holistic approach to lifetstyle / health optimization in the comments here!
Thank you Dr. I've been clean keto for 4 years. 2nd year began having sporadic episodes of severe gut pain and diarrhea. These episodes occurred more often over time until last year, it reached daily. I went 100% Carnivore in an effort to get healthy again. This has helped me a lot but at this point I still can't veer away from only meat or I'll "pay for it". I am tired of only meat! Was never a fan of meat. I still don't feel my best by any means. Have had comp. stool testing, CT with contrast, fecal calprotectin test (slightly elevated), and up next is a colonoscopy in May and a SIBO breath test in June. It's been over a year now of almost daily belly pain. I've become reclusive and fight depression. I had a grand total of 6 months on keto when I was at a "high" and felt so much younger than my 66 year self. Then it all crashed. Any ideas why?? Some internet friends who are also on this health journey suggest oxalates. I have indeed seen many signs of ox dumping...and eliminating them has promoted healing. Would love to hear your opinion. BTW, I'm currently reading the book TOXIC SUPERFOODS by Sally K Norton. P.S. I'm currently weaning off Effexor (antidepressant) and have been on a super slow tapering off for 3 years. Connection? 🤔
Minute 23 Max talks about allowing the healing. I love this approach. I have been carnivore for 7 months now after being vegan for 30 years!!! yes, 30 years. I spent the first 6 months of carnivore, strict carnivore, sitting and thinking and feeling my whole body heal. My painful IBS, my severe digestion problems, my menopausal symptoms and my chronic knee pain which I had had since the age of 4. Last month, after 6 months on carnivore I decided that it was time to start exercising. I felt like it. I started gently running ever other day and its wonderful. I feel strong and well, and guess what? My knees still don't hurt me. The healing carnivore life.
I’m 47 and have been on an animal based diet with some fruit for the past 4 years. Mostly steak, ground beef, organs meats, raw milk, raw butter, raw kefir, and raw honey. I am ripped to shreds and very muscular. At 47! I do lift weights and exercise cardio 5 days a week as well. I’ll never change again. I’m very happy and energetic. My mission is to wake people up now.
Another great interview. Knowing that they are intentionally trying to shut down farms and mess with the supply chain is what worries me. We are raising meat birds now and trying to source local meat for our family.
His focus on compassion, regeneration and holistic farming and health is so important and should be discussed more in this community. Loved this conversation.👍❤️
I have resolved most of my health issues with keto and carnivore and am now focusing on the "thriving" side and helping others. It's wonderful to get to this point. So glad to hear his holistic vision. We do indeed need to move beyond into regenerative agriculture. The conversation here has touched me deeply.
Hello from California. I’m ex-plant based. Survived 3 years until I couldn’t do it anymore. Muscle pains were horrible. Bloating. Gained weight. Acne. In my 40s.
I love how Dr Gulhane looks at every aspect of being a carnivore- the ethical, the sustainability, the nutrition, the decentralisation of farming, the healing power, the economics, the animal welfare. Thank you do much- very intelligent men here.
Dr Jason Fung (nephrologist) would be a great addition to your podcast, as well. He focused on getting his patients better after following the medical guidelines and growing tired of hearing the foot hit the bucket after he cut it off. He tried many different things to help his patients reverse diabetes, but found fasting to be the most effective.
Been researching the carnivore diet having been plant based for the last 7 years. This is an excellent podcast from 3 people clearly knowledgeable, living what they promote, and with big hearts to want to help people heal. Thank you Dr Chaffee, Simon, and Dr Max. Ready to make the move and jump right in!! 😊
For me I could have saved years of unecessary topical treatments, oral antibiotics and isotretinoin if I had been advised early on to avoid carbs, sugar, fruit, dairy. Which is precisely the advice I offer my patients now who are interested in holistic approach to their acne.
sounds like you're balls deep into a conformation bias spiral, consuming more and more content of fail ex vegans to reassure your own believe that veganism is wrong. funnily enough, there's a huge population of thriving vegans that you just don't hear about as opposed to all these ex vegans that are too stupid to eat properly.
I was vegan for 5 years and I also got severe acne - I still struggle with healing it, but Carnivore helped so much already! I'm 30 yo, 1-year carnivore (only meat, eggs, no dairy) and I feel better than when I was 16yo :D Finally, I know how it is to feel healthy, to feel great in my body. I don't think I ever felt that way since I was a fat kid with chronic illnesses, constant fatigue, and depression. Now I'm thriving :)
I love these doctors that become carnivores because you get to hear how stoked they are to actually help HEAL people and not just manage people's suffering. These are true champs, and genuinely some of the best people. Not taking anything away from the regular folks that aren't doctors whom are carnivore, all one needs to do is read the comments. The carnivore community is the most compassionate bunch of people, too stoked to hear each other's success stories and super willing to reach out and congratulate or motivate others with their journey's. This is not something you really see in most "movements". Which just shows the level of healing happening, it's not just on an individual level but it is creating a bond with strangers and connecting people in a way I haven't seen any other kind of movement do, it's almost healing a part of society slowly but surely. It's like a genuine return to true humanity within people's hearts, and I think that might be one of the most wonderful thing's I'm actually seeing with this. Tip of the hat to all of you rebels.
Did you know they are going to start shooting up the cattle etc with MNRA come August. This has me rather stressed out as I never took the clot shots and did not allow my kids to get them either looks like I will be fasting every second day so I can afford organic meat.
I was about to locate regenerative farms here in Texas where I live via Texas Slim twitter. I’m so happy to have watched this interview! Thank you doctors for all that y’all do! Dr. Chaffee, another great video 👏 💕 🥩 Thank you !
An easy way to meet and support local ranchers is to go to Farmer's Markets. Last weekend we drove to a farmer's market in a neighboring town where we met 3 regenerative cattle ranchers. One of them, as it turned out, is less than 30 miles from my home. In addition to the beef ranchers, there were a couple pig farmers, as well as people selling fresh eggs, goat cheeses, homemade bone broth.
Really interesting conversation so far. Watching from Qld, Australia. I'm 8 weeks into carnivore, the brain fog was a huge issue for me, and I'm finding now that I have to avoid dairy in all forms, apart from ghee, because it gives me terrible brain fog.
Isn't it awesome to be able to pinpoint what doesn't agree with our bodies? I've surely been a bit disappointed at what I've given up (until I eat that next steak), yet still so grateful to know what to avoid.
I am 66, carnivore/ketovore for around 10 years. I am so desperate to get my husband to follow this woe but his carb addiction dominates him. He has hypertension meds and proton pump inhibitors but I managed to stop him beginning the statin he was prescribed. Even if I was able to persuade him to commit to carnivore/ketovore and he went to his doctor to monitor his need for the hypertensive meds can you imagine the response he would most likely get? In a five minute consult the doctor would probably lay waste to my years of work trying to steer him right. 😢
Regenerative farming is the base layer of human health. Healthy soil = healthy animals = optimal human food = optimal human health. They need our support!
Dr Gulhane put our modern health system in a nutshell when he said that the current system can get metabolically sick people to a survival level, but not to a thriving level.
I was hard core healthy keto for 1.3 years to regulate my insulin resistance. It worked! But then I developed a weird idiopathic Angioedema. I went carnivore. Lost 5 pounds that I couldn’t shake on keto (not a big deal went from 125 to 120 lbs). I feel really good on carnivore. Mostly ribeye roast steaks and eggs. I do have coffee with cream. MOST importantly l, my blood Glucose is better now than with healthy keto. When I ate “healthy keto” I still had spikes. With carnivore, I have an homeostasis that really doesn’t budge. Yes once a month I have a small French fry. Blood glucose Doesn’t budge. And I LOVE steak why didn’t I just stick to what Ioved years ago? Figuring it out at 50. :) The weird thing is with healthy keto My Blood Glucose would spike when eating “too Much protein”. Weird I can eat a 16oz ribeye and my blood Glucose Barely budges but on healthy keto, I had a spike? I love healthy keto don’t get me Wrong…. But now I say that’s a bridge to carnivore. Perhaps keto helped my IR to heal to allow Me to eat 16 oz Of ribeye…
My fasting , and carnivore journey is now 2 years on , mostly thanks to YOU Dr Chaffee, discussing the facts about cholesterol and species appropriate diet. The thing I love about your programs is that they are FACT , not FEELING based and the information regarding how our bodies use food and process it certainly makes perfect sense and the results can't be argued with.
I wish I could get more black folk to hear the message about exercise. I’m black so I can say this. We emphasize way to much on exercise and not enough on what we eat. Way too much cardio & don’t get me wrong I love rebounding. But some cardio rebounding and weightlifting is more beneficial. The weightlifting has me feeling so strong. I do it all at home. BTW took me a year after going carnivore before I had the strength to exercise. With a crappy diet & bad metabolic health I don’t see how people have the energy and will to workout. I didn’t.
@@Maintain_Decorum I’m glad you do. I’m just speaking on my personal experience and what I know. But you carry on. It’s always one of you that come behind a comment like mines with your “all lives matter” bs & you think it’s some kind of noble statement that somehow changes my experience. This is why blacks don’t feel safe in this space. People like you.
Just a thought...maybe a new profession would be a reverse doctor...I refuse to go to the doctor and get tests done because I know if anything is wrong....I won't agree with the prescription treatment. And people already taking mess needs a professional to help them get off of them.
Same here, hate going but I do when I want a blood check up, I just ignore the whole statin/cholesterol bla bla, and my current Dr just leaves it alone now cause he knows my reply to it lol😅
I learnt a lot (& lost weight) seeing Dr Rob Szabo when he was here in Melbourne at his Low Carb Clinic, later known as Diversa Health. A good bloke and great doctor.
Dr Szabo is Australia's premier lifestyle GP. His combination of breadth of knowledge + empathetic approach is unparalleled, and is what prompted by interstate move to work with and learn from him. Keep up the great work Elle!
Great interview! I love to hear about these transformations. Life changing. Thank you for sharing. I’m retiring to my bacon now. Have a nice day everyone!
Hi Anthony, enjoy your videos. Have been keto for years but have now been carnivor for 7 days! Am aware of recommendations from many for consumption of organ meats and I’m ok with liver and kidneys but yesterday tried (gulped down ) a whole tub of Maggie Beers‘Pheasant Farm Pâté’ which is primarily chicken liver and butter. It’s absolutely delicious and has nothing artificial like the French pâtés available. Carbs per 100gm is 3.1gm so doesn’t push you out of ketosis. Was intending to use as a garnish with my steak but ended up wolfing it down on its own. You should give it a go😃 Best wishes John
I absolutely agree with the idea of diet first, then exercise. It’s disheartening when you’re too heavy to do a push up or pull up. I can personally attest to that, exercise is a lot more rewarding and enjoyable when you can actually do the movement properly
Having those conversations with your medical peers hopefully means that when they see patients who mention carnivore or low carb they will be more willing to support their patients eating this way.
80 years old , a Carnivore, still run 4 miles each weekday go on walking interspersing 8-10 miles. I do resistance weights thinking if accidents I want to bounce not end in a crumple of broken bones. I don’t know how long this can last but I feel great. Healthy Lifespan so far. Started keto got too skinny wanted muscle Shawn Baker challenge 60 days never went back. Live in South USA so run high vitamin D3 do K2 too.
This is encouraging. Fantastic! Please see if you can be interviewed for the show!!!!!! Almost two decades your junior... looking at this as health insurance as I will need to work for a long time!
Awesome. It would be great to have an episode for emergency services employees who work days nights and who are unable to have the regular sleep we should be having. advice on how to stay as healthy and as fit as possible whilst working these jobs would be great. I am hoping to have confirmation of being accepted into firefighter training in the next few weeks
Agree, also during weight training you don't really burn much calories. Carnivore, low carb diet is the major factor of losing weight and burning fat and calories.
Those carnivore bars are ludicrously expensive. More expensive that buying actual steaks. The carnivore market is never going to go anywhere unless they stop price gouging the customers.
I've been at this for a week and a half, I'm strictly meat and water. I've had some weird effects, but nothing major. For example, I'm always thirsty, my lips taste salty??? Once I passed my last carb meal, I've gone less, but very loose and minimal. However, my energy levels are much higher, my mood is better, and water is much more refreshing. Is there anyone else else with similar effects?
@catsrus2890 Thank you, I haven't drank this much water since my time in the Army. I don't get an upset stomach per se, it's more like a quick bout of loose stool, which quickly passes, and I'm back to normal. No upset stomach or cramping. Must be the adjustment phase. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your input.
Just a thought.. One mistake new carnivores make is a too-even fat to protein ratio. You don't need to calculate this (that's ridiculous, imo), but be sure the majority of calories is fat. Fat trepidation is a thing through decades of bad advice.
@@mightyfloppers7527 I was like this for two weeks, then totally fine. After that if you feel constipated up your fats and maybe try a magnesium supplement.
There is an adaptation phase. Sticking to beef, or mostly beef, will help you figure out satiation and protein/ fat macros. Elimination may be less frequent but should be easy- not greasy, or dry and hard. Remember, your entire digestive system has been pushing out bulky fiber, and fermentation in your colon. It will adjust. Make sure you salt food to taste and drink water, but not a lot of water with meals.
Wow! Doc, maybe you should start mentioning Paleo Valley beef sticks instead of Carnivore bars! I just went to the web site as it piqued my interest- until I saw that whopping $175 for 12 of them! 400 calories of food x12 for$175! That's RIDICULOUS! Who the heck can afford THAT!???! Paleo Valley beef sticks are grass fed, organic, and DELICIOUS! And at around $2, MUCH more affordable! I often eat 2 or 3 for a meal replacement and I'm totally happy! You can't eat McDonald's that cheap, lol!😂 I also have a lot of food sensitivities and they don't bother me AT ALL!😊❤
I got up to 116 kg, had bad joint pains in most of my body. Very badly regulated diabetes. Had bad sciatica often and polyneuropathy in my feet. I was definatly not able to do any exercise to loose any weight. My clinical nutrition specialist had me on the fast track to my grave, with lots of «healthy carbs», seed oils and only lean meats. 4 months ago, my health was deterioating fast and my doctor had nothing but permanent disability to offer me… I thought «screw this», and went off all medication and started with a strickt carnivore diet. Within a week, I started feeling better. The deterioating trend turned to a feeling of improvement. Slowly, but clearly noticeable, I got better and better. My blood glucose is now rock sollid and no longer a problem. Now after 4 months I weight 98 kg, so I’m down 18 kg. Where I used to struggle to walk to my car before, this weekend I walked over 9 hours in the forrest, in challenging trails and quite a lot at near mountain climbing. I enjoyed every minute of it. 4 months ago, I struggled with the stairs to my girlfriends appartment on the 2. floor. My joint pain is gone, my sciatica is mostly gone. My polyneuropathy is at least 70% improved and is no longer a hinderance to my life. I’ never going back to the standard diet, it would be suicide…
This is great guys! Wish you would also address HOW alcohol sabotages all this. How MUCH is ok, and when, in the timeline of our progress is it "ok" to indulge once in awhile
Hey Doc, what are your thoughts on super greens powders? Only once a week or just a couple of times a month?. I've been eating beef lamb Chicken and seafood with some dairy and no Sugar or artificial sweeteners. Would you advise against the super green powder?
I dont think you need them, and I wouldnt use them myself. You get the bad with the good on those things, so if you are eating properly, the bad outweighs the good.
Question: if it's Visceral fat as a marker, I have eating tons of carbs in the past and jog 20 minutes a day and lift weights. I have the fattest tummy, and can get lean on low arb but also on high carb. Plus I have seen carnivore people who definitely have Visceral fat. So it's not the diet, it's just "don't have Visceral fat correct? Want to be clear, when I follow a low fat diet and do some cardiovascular 20 min exercise (not excess) I have no Visceral fat. If I eat low carb high fat I have flat tummy with no cardio... it's when I combine higherish fat with carbs I ever notice a problem. However I did once increase fruit alot, for the first time I got Visceral fat and thar was low fat high fruit diet. My triglycerides went up. But I can eat lean meat and potatoes all day without added butter creams ect and stay lean. However I find I feel more clear and lasting energy with low carbs higher fat. But either diets I can have low Visceral fat. 😊
Consider as a thought exercise for just a moment if the government’s planned digital currency could only be spent on plant based products, not meat, eggs, or dairy.
i whent low carb, no gluten, no lectins, no lactose, no aged/mold, no suggar/fruit, low histamin to heal leaky gut. i was lower end of normal weight when i started, im also doing 17h fast a day, after 2 months of this i gained 2 kg ( hope that trend dont continue). no junk, all home cooked and doing grass feed meats and all organic, i also had to cut away high oxalate foods because they gave me unpleasant urinary symptoms. 35years old, female oh and fasting glucose dident really go down much.
Dear Anthony, recently I introduced carnivore life style into my life. Till this time I had 4 meals per day but since food volume dropped on this diet I had to reduce meals to 3 per day to feel satisfied. The question is whether 3 meals is enough while I regulary lift and trying to build some lean muscle mass?
The number of meal does not play a role in strenght workout. 1 meal or 6 is even, so eat when you're hungry and stop when you're not anymore. Anyway using carnivore diet you will have all the proteine needed, don't worry
I'm a tradesman, age 58, on my feet and working hard all day, in excellent health and strength. I eat one meal a day (carnivore) in the evening. I almost never feel hungry before 5pm. My point is *not* that you should only eat one meal a day. Instead, my point is that you do not need a specific number of meals in order to get what your body needs. You should reject the common knowledge on the subject, and experiment to find what works best for you. For me, I feel sluggish if I eat any substantial amount during the day. That has always been true, but it wasn't until I was in my 40's that it occurred to me that I didn't have to eat 3 meals per day. So I stopped eating breakfast, and immediately started feeling better (more "peppy") during the day. A couple years later it occurred to me that I was only eating lunch out of habit, not because I was feeling hungry. So I stopped having lunch, switched to one large meal in the evening, and I've been doing that for over 10 years with zero negative consequences for health, weight, muscle, sleep, digestion, etc. Again, I'm not promoting OMAD, I'm promoting an open mind and experimentation.
I'm 6 months pregnant and keen to try carnivore. Is it ok if I start now or should I wait to give birth first? Worried the adaptation/ keto flu phase might be too much for a pregnant woman to handle. I can only find 1 testimony online of a woman who went carnivore while pregnant and had great results. But she was 9 months already and almost ready to give birth
I would eat carnivore in your situation. Your baby needs a lot of nutrients, animal fats. Fatty fish, like fresh sardines, mackerel. Eggs from a person who has free range chickens eating everything and wirms, insects in plain air. Meat, organs from all kind of animals, bone broth. Veggies with very low oxalates, lectins. 2 nuts a day ( each day another sort of nut ). 1 egg a day. No grains, cereals, pasta, bread, sugar, sweets, sweeteners. No fancy organic hype products. No processed foods. No packaged foods. No packaged drinks. No canned food. No high processed oils, margarine > no canola oil, corn, soya, rapeseed oil and so on. Only real olive oil. But most olive oil is mixed with other oils. Real unfiltered 1st pressed and cold pressed olive oil is very expensive and allmost not to find. Not even in europe. Never buy olive oils, coconut in plastic containers. Only in glass bottles. No alcohol. Plain water. Celtic sea salt. Lard, ghee butter, grass fed butter, organic coconut oil. Kefir, sauerkraut. Do not use chemical cleaners in the house. Do not use chemical air fresheners, perfumes, deo, shampoo, bath pearls, shower products, creams, meds, synthetic vitamins, coloring your hair, hair products, no commercial toothpaste. Use instead organic coconut oil for skin and hair. Organic soap like making it yourself. Deo> make it yourself. See organic ways to make your own soap, cream, deo, toothpaste. Listen to relaxing beautiful classical music. Relaxing nature music. Your fetus reacts to all nouces, sounds in your belly. Your baby feels your stress and receives your stress hormones. Shower your stress off, when you feel stressed! Music heals your bloodpressure and brain waves! Good luck lady and be friendly and compassionate towards yourself ( and your baby ). Please touch your baby in your belly, talk friendly and speak to your baby to show your love. They 'feel' it and hear your voice and other voices around you and their energy and yours. Sleep with your baby and caress and kiss him/her. Breastfeeding will be also easer like that. Do not take meds, sleeping pills and so on. Do not vaccinate yourself during pregnancy and your baby. Give bresstfeeding instead and eat very nutrient dense and healthy. Walk in nature. A baby is happy with a small kitten or puppy dog as a soft compagnion for life. Never leave them unsupperviced. But growing up together with a puppy cat and puppy dog is a gift. Teach the baby to be soft to kitty/puppy dog to socialize to be gentle and compassionate towards an animal and later towards your next baby and other children, yourself... Read Aletha Solter books. Read baby massage books Read Frederick Leboyer on babies and so on. Read the book THE CONTINUUM COMPLEX, by Jean Liedloff. Read a book how to sleep with babies, children ans how to wear a baby on your body! ❤❤❤
@@jeannedigennaro6484 That makes sense to me and sounds really wise. Problem is I'm a very all or nothing kind of person. 😅 But I'll try to take it slow and easy
Most people ( like me ) started on keto with around 20 gr of carbs a day , after 6 months I started ditching carb and now I am mostly carnivore , many other know that started keto are now carnivore
I was a vegan/vegetarian for 2 decades. I collected dozens of medical conditions and a nasty collective microbiome. My first colonoscopy allowed me to eat meat again. My 3rd, prompted me into an allergy elimination diet and i accidentally fell into a meat based diet. 2 decades of researching health and nutrition, i was so scared. For several months. I kept losing weight and inflammation as long as i stopped reintroducing fruits and veggies and meds back in. I'm reactive to the potato starch in tablets. So i don't know how to get back on thyroid meds. And with several severe injuries, I'm reactive to nsaids and narcotics, so I'm told I'm self medicating. Which is what keeps me from going full Lion Diet. My sugar binging addiction is better as i have recently added more fat. I still can't see free lollipops and not binge eat. What do i do about other addictions?
That's really great that you've been able to come away from a vegan diet after that long and regain your health. I'm very happy for you! Addiction can be very difficult, but like all addictions they do go away; generally after about 2 weeks. So if you can fight through until then, you should be good. A good way of combating cravings is to eat more fat meat, as sometimes the cravings are just your brain's way of telling you that you're hungry
just a quick word, and carefull about what numbers somethimes mean. Google will tell you: The most recent Census of Agriculture reported 233,770 poultry farms in the United States in 2012. In 2014, the U.S. poultry industry produced 8.54 billion broilers, 99.8 billion eggs, and 238 million turkeys. and a 1000 of those egg/chicken farms to burn down, is actually not that many... i know it sound crazy, but you really need to get all numbers before going into panic mode about supply. And honestly - if people start eating the right way (carnivore, of cause) then the supply demand will go up for beef, and eggs - so this will cause the farmers to get better payed for their products as well - of cause it easier to deliever for McD or what ever - but if they get the right pay for it, trust me, the farmers will switch for it. So start dealing with the local butcher and see the results.... if all was doing it, wait, see! :)
Buying direct from Australian farmers isnt generally possible because we dont have the network of small, local abattoirs. Theyre not viable with our smaller population.
@danejames7098 it's much less common here for the reason I mentioned. My American friends can send a cow 15km down the road to an accredited slaughterhouse and get the meat back, packed as they requested. I have a small beef herd but my nearest beef abattoir is 750km away and that would only slaughter animals, not break down carcasses.
All you doctors (especially male drs.) may have not considered this fact I saw decades ago when I was first in college-we females who spoke together about surviving childhood sexual abuse and other abuse…were without exception that I have ever see-all overweight from stress/hormones/self comforting with food. I mean I have seen a few who managed to not be extremely overweight (I am 61) but without exception not a single one was slim-or even underweight. The stress connection to weight is huge-no pun intended-humongous, enormous-ok maybe a bit of a pun but still it always struck me as sad tragic- that the little girls who suffered so much were then stuck inside the fat trap of being unacceptable in society as well which is just as devastating in it’s own way. Please remember FAT IS A SYMPTOM-it causes other symptoms but be careful not to victim blame the viscerally fat people. Genetics-Epigenetics-stress-hormones-pain-medications-smells of foods, physical limitations, Down’s Syndrome, poverty, viruses, and hundreds more things are CAUSAL FACTORS.
That's a great point and very relevant. My approach (borrowed from dr Lucy Burns) is to ocnsider PHYSIOLOGY (food diet, light diet) and PSYCHOLOGY - which is everything you mention. Often people can intellectually understand what they need to do from a dietary POV, but emotional factors and deeply buried trauma can prevent them from implementing these changes. In those cases we need to understand and address these psychological reasons first. Thanks for your comment :)
Since I went on carnivore my life has changed. From old and fat with grain brain to... still old (66) and lean, strong and having a sharp mind again.
I’m 73. We are old , but not old farts, haha! Goodbye flatulence on carnivore.
Looking stacked brother!
Sounds like your biological age went down, though!
You’re 66? Pardon me for being so bold but holy YUM! You are looking F.I.N.E.
Same for me!
Thanks again to Dr Chaffee and Simon for having me on. Happy to answer any questions on my holistic approach to lifetstyle / health optimization in the comments here!
great podcast Dr. Max. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Doc and so happy for your transformation!
Great contribution Dr.
Interesting conversation, I've subscribed to your channel here on UA-cam. 👍👍
Thank you Dr.
I've been clean keto for 4 years.
2nd year began having sporadic episodes of severe gut pain and diarrhea. These episodes occurred more often over time until last year, it reached daily. I went 100% Carnivore in an effort to get healthy again. This has helped me a lot but at this point I still can't veer away from only meat or I'll "pay for it". I am tired of only meat! Was never a fan of meat. I still don't feel my best by any means. Have had comp. stool testing, CT with contrast, fecal calprotectin test (slightly elevated), and up next is a colonoscopy in May and a SIBO breath test in June. It's been over a year now of almost daily belly pain. I've become reclusive and fight depression. I had a grand total of 6 months on keto when I was at a "high" and felt so much younger than my 66 year self. Then it all crashed. Any ideas why?? Some internet friends who are also on this health journey suggest oxalates. I have indeed seen many signs of ox dumping...and eliminating them has promoted healing.
Would love to hear your opinion.
BTW, I'm currently reading the book TOXIC SUPERFOODS by Sally K Norton.
P.S. I'm currently weaning off Effexor (antidepressant) and have been on a super slow tapering off for 3 years. Connection? 🤔
Minute 23 Max talks about allowing the healing. I love this approach. I have been carnivore for 7 months now after being vegan for 30 years!!! yes, 30 years. I spent the first 6 months of carnivore, strict carnivore, sitting and thinking and feeling my whole body heal. My painful IBS, my severe digestion problems, my menopausal symptoms and my chronic knee pain which I had had since the age of 4. Last month, after 6 months on carnivore I decided that it was time to start exercising. I felt like it. I started gently running ever other day and its wonderful. I feel strong and well, and guess what? My knees still don't hurt me. The healing carnivore life.
Well done Sally! Keep up the amazing work :)
Wow, how wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Great job Madame 👏👏👏
Amen... Thank God for your healing... It's wonderful 👍👍
Day 2 and I am aching all over. I believe I’m in the detox stage so I’ll keep going.
You can sense the sincerity and passion in the way Dr. Gulhane talks about managing chronic illness. We need more physicians like this
I’m 47 and have been on an animal based diet with some fruit for the past 4 years. Mostly steak, ground beef, organs meats, raw milk, raw butter, raw kefir, and raw honey. I am ripped to shreds and very muscular. At 47! I do lift weights and exercise cardio 5 days a week as well. I’ll never change again. I’m very happy and energetic. My mission is to wake people up now.
Another great interview. Knowing that they are intentionally trying to shut down farms and mess with the supply chain is what worries me. We are raising meat birds now and trying to source local meat for our family.
Paranoid fool farms have animals too
Totally agree with you. I follow Yanasa TV channel and Trinity Vandenacre…though it now looks like Trinity’s his channel has been deplatformed.
His focus on compassion, regeneration and holistic farming and health is so important and should be discussed more in this community. Loved this conversation.👍❤️
I was vegan=skinny flabby, now Carnivore = muscle skin tight 🥩❤️
Not once have I read or heard about a carnivore turning back to a plant based lifestyle 🤔
Saladino?
@@christopherellis2663 still meat based, try vegetable police
We.may have cheat days or even go off for a while but never go back to fully plants that's just stupid
@@christopherellis2663 Really ? Who said that besides you ?
@@tubetime39 if you're asking who has said Saladino isn't meat based, iirc Professor Bart Kay has also said that.
the mental clarity induced by the carnivore diet is astonishing
I have resolved most of my health issues with keto and carnivore and am now focusing on the "thriving" side and helping others. It's wonderful to get to this point. So glad to hear his holistic vision. We do indeed need to move beyond into regenerative agriculture. The conversation here has touched me deeply.
Hello from California. I’m ex-plant based. Survived 3 years until I couldn’t do it anymore. Muscle pains were horrible. Bloating. Gained weight. Acne. In my 40s.
sounds like a you problem. as a vegan of 10 years myself, I feel completely the same as I did before I changed my diet, not better, not worse.
@@hexamine666 Really? 🤔 most vegans i see end up quitting and they age terribly bad
@@sitoh382 interesting, I observe quite the opposite and people frequently estimate me 5+ years younger than I actually am.
@@billy77511 I didn't become vegan for health reasons. I simply didn't want to contribute to animal suffering anymore.
@@hexamine666 that's awesome. Personally, my health failed me and i felt terrible. Mostly digestive problems.
I love how Dr Gulhane looks at every aspect of being a carnivore- the ethical, the sustainability, the nutrition, the decentralisation of farming, the healing power, the economics, the animal welfare. Thank you do much- very intelligent men here.
did you listen twice to this episode? :D
Dr Jason Fung (nephrologist) would be a great addition to your podcast, as well. He focused on getting his patients better after following the medical guidelines and growing tired of hearing the foot hit the bucket after he cut it off. He tried many different things to help his patients reverse diabetes, but found fasting to be the most effective.
Been researching the carnivore diet having been plant based for the last 7 years. This is an excellent podcast from 3 people clearly knowledgeable, living what they promote, and with big hearts to want to help people heal. Thank you Dr Chaffee, Simon, and Dr Max. Ready to make the move and jump right in!! 😊
Good choice. You won't regret it, I promise :)
I love the stories of the changes turning to carnivore
Yeah many of them are amazing. It's always great to hear about people fixing their health problems and coming off meds
For me I could have saved years of unecessary topical treatments, oral antibiotics and isotretinoin if I had been advised early on to avoid carbs, sugar, fruit, dairy. Which is precisely the advice I offer my patients now who are interested in holistic approach to their acne.
sounds like you're balls deep into a conformation bias spiral, consuming more and more content of fail ex vegans to reassure your own believe that veganism is wrong. funnily enough, there's a huge population of thriving vegans that you just don't hear about as opposed to all these ex vegans that are too stupid to eat properly.
I was vegan for 5 years and I also got severe acne - I still struggle with healing it, but Carnivore helped so much already! I'm 30 yo, 1-year carnivore (only meat, eggs, no dairy) and I feel better than when I was 16yo :D Finally, I know how it is to feel healthy, to feel great in my body. I don't think I ever felt that way since I was a fat kid with chronic illnesses, constant fatigue, and depression. Now I'm thriving :)
I love these doctors that become carnivores because you get to hear how stoked they are to actually help HEAL people and not just manage people's suffering.
These are true champs, and genuinely some of the best people.
Not taking anything away from the regular folks that aren't doctors whom are carnivore, all one needs to do is read the comments.
The carnivore community is the most compassionate bunch of people, too stoked to hear each other's success stories and super willing to reach out and congratulate or motivate others with their journey's.
This is not something you really see in most "movements".
Which just shows the level of healing happening, it's not just on an individual level but it is creating a bond with strangers and connecting people in a way I haven't seen any other kind of movement do, it's almost healing a part of society slowly but surely.
It's like a genuine return to true humanity within people's hearts, and I think that might be one of the most wonderful thing's I'm actually seeing with this.
Tip of the hat to all of you rebels.
Did you know they are going to start shooting up the cattle etc with MNRA come August. This has me rather stressed out as I never took the clot shots and did not allow my kids to get them either looks like I will be fasting every second day so I can afford organic meat.
This is a very heartfelt episode. I appreciate it. 🎉❤
I was about to locate regenerative farms here in Texas where I live via Texas Slim twitter. I’m so happy to have watched this interview!
Thank you doctors for all that y’all do!
Dr. Chaffee, another great video 👏 💕 🥩 Thank you !
An easy way to meet and support local ranchers is to go to Farmer's Markets. Last weekend we drove to a farmer's market in a neighboring town where we met 3 regenerative cattle ranchers. One of them, as it turned out, is less than 30 miles from my home.
In addition to the beef ranchers, there were a couple pig farmers, as well as people selling fresh eggs, goat cheeses, homemade bone broth.
@ San Autin, where was that please
Really interesting conversation so far.
Watching from Qld, Australia.
I'm 8 weeks into carnivore, the brain fog was a huge issue for me, and I'm finding now that I have to avoid dairy in all forms, apart from ghee, because it gives me terrible brain fog.
Great job
@@Xenumiscagive thanks John
Dairy an issue for me too 😢
@@Norman_Gunstan1 what kind of issues have you been having Doris?
Steph
Isn't it awesome to be able to pinpoint what doesn't agree with our bodies? I've surely been a bit disappointed at what I've given up (until I eat that next steak), yet still so grateful to know what to avoid.
Thank you for another amazing interview, filled with information & inspiration ! 🤗🤗🤗
I am 66, carnivore/ketovore for around 10 years. I am so desperate to get my husband to follow this woe but his carb addiction dominates him. He has hypertension meds and proton pump inhibitors but I managed to stop him beginning the statin he was prescribed. Even if I was able to persuade him to commit to carnivore/ketovore and he went to his doctor to monitor his need for the hypertensive meds can you imagine the response he would most likely get? In a five minute consult the doctor would probably lay waste to my years of work trying to steer him right. 😢
I hate the helpless feeling. Good luck to you!
Thank you for promoting support for our local farmers, I met one of the ranchers that is fart of Texas Slim team and bought the best meat I've tasted.
Regenerative farming is the base layer of human health. Healthy soil = healthy animals = optimal human food = optimal human health. They need our support!
Dr Gulhane put our modern health system in a nutshell when he said that the current system can get metabolically sick people to a survival level, but not to a thriving level.
I was hard core healthy keto for 1.3 years to regulate my insulin resistance. It worked! But then I developed a weird idiopathic Angioedema. I went carnivore. Lost 5 pounds that I couldn’t shake on keto (not a big deal went from 125 to 120 lbs). I feel really good on carnivore. Mostly ribeye roast steaks and eggs. I do have coffee with cream.
MOST importantly l, my blood
Glucose is better now than with healthy keto. When I ate “healthy keto” I still had spikes. With carnivore, I have an homeostasis that really doesn’t budge. Yes once a month I have a small French fry. Blood glucose
Doesn’t budge.
And I LOVE steak why didn’t I just stick to what Ioved years ago? Figuring it out at 50. :)
The weird thing is with healthy keto
My
Blood
Glucose would spike when eating “too
Much protein”. Weird I can eat a 16oz ribeye and my blood
Glucose
Barely budges but on healthy keto, I had a spike?
I love healthy keto don’t get me
Wrong…. But now
I say that’s a bridge to carnivore. Perhaps keto helped my IR to heal to allow
Me to eat 16 oz
Of ribeye…
This is the greatest doctor ever. Just try it for 90 days.
I’m in Western Australia so I love the timing! ❤
@ozzieabroad I’m in Mandurah, I’ve only been carnivore for 5 months not sure I’m ready for wild meat yet
@ozzieabroad ok didn’t know that!might look into it then.👍
My fasting , and carnivore journey is now 2 years on , mostly thanks to YOU Dr Chaffee, discussing the facts about cholesterol and species appropriate diet. The thing I love about your programs is that they are FACT , not FEELING based and the information regarding how our bodies use food and process it certainly makes perfect sense and the results can't be argued with.
so great to see, hopefully other doctors will follow his work and implement
I wish I could get more black folk to hear the message about exercise. I’m black so I can say this. We emphasize way to much on exercise and not enough on what we eat. Way too much cardio & don’t get me wrong I love rebounding. But some cardio rebounding and weightlifting is more beneficial. The weightlifting has me feeling so strong. I do it all at home.
BTW took me a year after going carnivore before I had the strength to exercise. With a crappy diet & bad metabolic health I don’t see how people have the energy and will to workout. I didn’t.
I wish more black people would hear this too!! I’m not black, but I want all my fellow humans to be healthy! 💝🥩🥓
@@Maintain_Decorum I’m glad you do. I’m just speaking on my personal experience and what I know. But you carry on. It’s always one of you that come behind a comment like mines with your “all lives matter” bs & you think it’s some kind of noble statement that somehow changes my experience. This is why blacks don’t feel safe in this space. People like you.
I wish we could hear about this. While I don’t agree that the emphasis is on cardio, I have noticed how veganism/alkaline diet is being pushed today.
Amazing interview! We need more of this in the world, no doubt.
Man I wish I could find a Doc like him, I guess i will have to move to Australia!!! Great interview guys!
Thanks Carmine! Much appreciated. Good luck :)

@@contactjenny7 My oldest Son lives in Brisbane as a phsiotherapist, it is definitely on my list for next year!
These conversations are so inspiring I just have such a hard time staying on track and my health is suffering for it.
Just a thought...maybe a new profession would be a reverse doctor...I refuse to go to the doctor and get tests done because I know if anything is wrong....I won't agree with the prescription treatment. And people already taking mess needs a professional to help them get off of them.
Prescription is something the doctors do well; deprescription is something they need to do more of
Same here, hate going but I do when I want a blood check up, I just ignore the whole statin/cholesterol bla bla, and my current Dr just leaves it alone now cause he knows my reply to it lol😅
I might be sleeping when this is live but it is an interesting interview to watch!
Love - love - the conversation on how we can change the world - one person at a time.
Wonderful discussion! We need to support farmers, now and forever! Let's hope people keep opening their eyes and brains❤

Hello from Slovakia 👍
Helloooo beautiful Slovakia🙋~from the AZ/USA desert🌵
Hi Anthony, enjoy your videos. Have been keto for years but have now been carnivor for 7 days! Am aware of recommendations from many for consumption of organ meats and I’m ok with liver and kidneys but yesterday tried (gulped down ) a whole tub of Maggie Beers‘Pheasant Farm Pâté’ which is primarily chicken liver and butter. It’s absolutely delicious and has nothing artificial like the French pâtés available. Carbs per 100gm is 3.1gm so doesn’t push you out of ketosis. Was intending to use as a garnish with my steak but ended up wolfing it down on its own. You should give it a go😃
Best wishes John
I absolutely agree with the idea of diet first, then exercise. It’s disheartening when you’re too heavy to do a push up or pull up. I can personally attest to that, exercise is a lot more rewarding and enjoyable when you can actually do the movement properly
Having those conversations with your medical peers hopefully means that when they see patients who mention carnivore or low carb they will be more willing to support their patients eating this way.
Love my cattle and sheep farmers!
So you still breast feed from cows stealing the milk from her babies and eat corpses?
80 years old , a Carnivore, still run 4 miles each weekday go on walking interspersing 8-10 miles. I do resistance weights thinking if accidents I want to bounce not end in a crumple of broken bones. I don’t know how long this can last but I feel great. Healthy Lifespan so far. Started keto got too skinny wanted muscle Shawn Baker challenge 60 days never went back. Live in South USA so run high vitamin D3 do K2 too.
Anthony stated in comments once that humans should live to 120 years old.
This is encouraging. Fantastic! Please see if you can be interviewed for the show!!!!!!
Almost two decades your junior... looking at this as health insurance as I will need to work for a long time!
Awesome. It would be great to have an episode for emergency services employees who work days nights and who are unable to have the regular sleep we should be having. advice on how to stay as healthy and as fit as possible whilst working these jobs would be great.
I am hoping to have confirmation of being accepted into firefighter training in the next few weeks
I've heard that often carnivores get better sleep quality in less time than others? It can't hurt, basically.
@@mikafoxx2717 I have heard that from a lot of people. They say they feel great on 5-6 hours sleep rather than the recomcended 7-9 hours

Hi from ONTARIO, CANADA
I like that you talked about acne and antibiotics and acutane. Was there too.
Excellent info as usual.
Simon Lewis silent, why? Would've loved hearing from you too.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Doc! Would be great to interveiw someone who disagree with you, or someone who don’t have good results on carnivore.
Hello from Tampa Florida!!!!
Hello from St. Petersburg!
Agree, also during weight training you don't really burn much calories. Carnivore, low carb diet is the major factor of losing weight and burning fat and calories.
Exactly. Fat is lost in the kitchen.
Great discussion. I agree 100% that diet for most people have to be focused on before exercise
Love Anthony's political point about decentralisation. Centralisation of political power is the greatest evil we face.
Definitely
Great chat. Just makes sense.
Thanks for watching Salty.
Those carnivore bars are ludicrously expensive. More expensive that buying actual steaks.

So funny! 😂 The ad that preceded this podcast was selling powdered greens! They're paying our hosts to tell us their product is toxic! 😂😂😂
I've been at this for a week and a half, I'm strictly meat and water. I've had some weird effects, but nothing major. For example, I'm always thirsty, my lips taste salty??? Once I passed my last carb meal, I've gone less, but very loose and minimal. However, my energy levels are much higher, my mood is better, and water is much more refreshing. Is there anyone else else with similar effects?
@catsrus2890 Thank you, I haven't drank this much water since my time in the Army. I don't get an upset stomach per se, it's more like a quick bout of loose stool, which quickly passes, and I'm back to normal. No upset stomach or cramping. Must be the adjustment phase. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your input.
Just a thought..
One mistake new carnivores make is a too-even fat to protein ratio. You don't need to calculate this (that's ridiculous, imo), but be sure the majority of calories is fat. Fat trepidation is a thing through decades of bad advice.
@@mightyfloppers7527 I was like this for two weeks, then totally fine. After that if you feel constipated up your fats and maybe try a magnesium supplement.
There is an adaptation phase. Sticking to beef, or mostly beef, will help you figure out satiation and protein/ fat macros. Elimination may be less frequent but should be easy- not greasy, or dry and hard. Remember, your entire digestive system has been pushing out bulky fiber, and fermentation in your colon. It will adjust. Make sure you salt food to taste and drink water, but not a lot of water with meals.

Wow! Doc, maybe you should start mentioning Paleo Valley beef sticks instead of Carnivore bars! I just went to the web site as it piqued my interest- until I saw that whopping $175 for 12 of them! 400 calories of food x12 for$175! That's RIDICULOUS! Who the heck can afford THAT!???! Paleo Valley beef sticks are grass fed, organic, and DELICIOUS! And at around $2, MUCH more affordable! I often eat 2 or 3 for a meal replacement and I'm totally happy! You can't eat McDonald's that cheap, lol!😂 I also have a lot of food sensitivities and they don't bother me AT ALL!😊❤
Liked. Defend the farmers worldwide,. They suffer from corporates and governments.
I got up to 116 kg, had bad joint pains in most of my body. Very badly regulated diabetes. Had bad sciatica often and polyneuropathy in my feet. I was definatly not able to do any exercise to loose any weight.
My clinical nutrition specialist had me on the fast track to my grave, with lots of «healthy carbs», seed oils and only lean meats.
4 months ago, my health was deterioating fast and my doctor had nothing but permanent disability to offer me…
I thought «screw this», and went off all medication and started with a strickt carnivore diet.
Within a week, I started feeling better. The deterioating trend turned to a feeling of improvement. Slowly, but clearly noticeable, I got better and better. My blood glucose is now rock sollid and no longer a problem.
Now after 4 months I weight 98 kg, so I’m down 18 kg. Where I used to struggle to walk to my car before, this weekend I walked over 9 hours in the forrest, in challenging trails and quite a lot at near mountain climbing. I enjoyed every minute of it.
4 months ago, I struggled with the stairs to my girlfriends appartment on the 2. floor.
My joint pain is gone, my sciatica is mostly gone. My polyneuropathy is at least 70% improved and is no longer a hinderance to my life.
I’ never going back to the standard diet, it would be suicide…
Is this for real? Considering making the change …..
Sadly there are so many doctors who still don't get it and are pushing the standard american diet. (New York, USA)
This is great guys! Wish you would also address HOW alcohol sabotages all this. How MUCH is ok, and when, in the timeline of our progress is it "ok" to indulge once in awhile
Basically, the dose is the poison. The time you're without is the time you're healing from said poison.
Never
Omg.. I used to have lower back pain when vegan... lived off grains 😮
Fantastic interview!!!
That makes do much sense. love it
Fascinating how all of these big brains who were vegans for decades finally figured out how bad that eating the food, we feed the food really is...
excellent discussion, thank-you
Hey Doc, what are your thoughts on super greens powders? Only once a week or just a couple of times a month?. I've been eating beef lamb Chicken and seafood with some dairy and no Sugar or artificial sweeteners. Would you advise against the super green powder?
I dont think you need them, and I wouldnt use them myself. You get the bad with the good on those things, so if you are eating properly, the bad outweighs the good.
@@anthonychaffeemd thanks you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!
Question: if it's Visceral fat as a marker, I have eating tons of carbs in the past and jog 20 minutes a day and lift weights. I have the fattest tummy, and can get lean on low arb but also on high carb. Plus I have seen carnivore people who definitely have Visceral fat. So it's not the diet, it's just "don't have Visceral fat correct? Want to be clear, when I follow a low fat diet and do some cardiovascular 20 min exercise (not excess) I have no Visceral fat. If I eat low carb high fat I have flat tummy with no cardio... it's when I combine higherish fat with carbs I ever notice a problem. However I did once increase fruit alot, for the first time I got Visceral fat and thar was low fat high fruit diet. My triglycerides went up. But I can eat lean meat and potatoes all day without added butter creams ect and stay lean. However I find I feel more clear and lasting energy with low carbs higher fat. But either diets I can have low Visceral fat. 😊
Ask all the patients to get rid of their TV .

Welcome to a great group of people Dr Max
never understood why "plant based' would be good for the planet, most of the vegan products are processed food made in large factories.
By "plant based" they mean produced in a manufacturing plant. 🤣
Consider as a thought exercise for just a moment if the government’s planned digital currency could only be spent on plant based products, not meat, eggs, or dairy.
dude the gov't subsidizes meat, dairy and eggs the most...where do you come up with this nonsense?

Hi from Florida
i whent low carb, no gluten, no lectins, no lactose, no aged/mold, no suggar/fruit, low histamin to heal leaky gut. i was lower end of normal weight when i started, im also doing 17h fast a day, after 2 months of this i gained 2 kg ( hope that trend dont continue). no junk, all home cooked and doing grass feed meats and all organic, i also had to cut away high oxalate foods because they gave me unpleasant urinary symptoms. 35years old, female oh and fasting glucose dident really go down much.
Dear Anthony, recently I introduced carnivore life style into my life. Till this time I had 4 meals per day but since food volume dropped on this diet I had to reduce meals to 3 per day to feel satisfied. The question is whether 3 meals is enough while I regulary lift and trying to build some lean muscle mass?
The number of meal does not play a role in strenght workout. 1 meal or 6 is even, so eat when you're hungry and stop when you're not anymore. Anyway using carnivore diet you will have all the proteine needed, don't worry
I'm a tradesman, age 58, on my feet and working hard all day, in excellent health and strength. I eat one meal a day (carnivore) in the evening. I almost never feel hungry before 5pm.
My point is *not* that you should only eat one meal a day. Instead, my point is that you do not need a specific number of meals in order to get what your body needs. You should reject the common knowledge on the subject, and experiment to find what works best for you. For me, I feel sluggish if I eat any substantial amount during the day. That has always been true, but it wasn't until I was in my 40's that it occurred to me that I didn't have to eat 3 meals per day. So I stopped eating breakfast, and immediately started feeling better (more "peppy") during the day. A couple years later it occurred to me that I was only eating lunch out of habit, not because I was feeling hungry. So I stopped having lunch, switched to one large meal in the evening, and I've been doing that for over 10 years with zero negative consequences for health, weight, muscle, sleep, digestion, etc. Again, I'm not promoting OMAD, I'm promoting an open mind and experimentation.
Awesome video! Dr. Chaffee Love your info! How about a debate with Layne? Is Layne not interested in discussing Carnivore nutrition and it’s benefits?
There’s amazing beef around Albury! Beautiful green grass and healthy beasts.

I'm 6 months pregnant and keen to try carnivore. Is it ok if I start now or should I wait to give birth first? Worried the adaptation/ keto flu phase might be too much for a pregnant woman to handle. I can only find 1 testimony online of a woman who went carnivore while pregnant and had great results. But she was 9 months already and almost ready to give birth
I would eat carnivore in your situation.
Your baby needs a lot of nutrients, animal fats.
Fatty fish, like fresh sardines, mackerel.
Eggs from a person who has free range chickens eating everything and wirms, insects in plain air.
Meat, organs from all kind of animals, bone broth.
Veggies with very low oxalates, lectins.
2 nuts a day ( each day another sort of nut ).
1 egg a day.
No grains, cereals, pasta, bread, sugar, sweets, sweeteners.
No fancy organic hype products.
No processed foods.
No packaged foods.
No packaged drinks.
No canned food.
No high processed oils, margarine > no canola oil, corn, soya, rapeseed oil and so on.
Only real olive oil. But most olive oil is mixed with other oils. Real unfiltered 1st pressed and cold pressed olive oil is very expensive and allmost not to find. Not even in europe.
Never buy olive oils, coconut in plastic containers. Only in glass bottles.
No alcohol.
Plain water.
Celtic sea salt.
Lard, ghee butter, grass fed butter, organic coconut oil.
Kefir, sauerkraut.
Do not use chemical cleaners in the house.
Do not use chemical air fresheners, perfumes, deo, shampoo, bath pearls, shower products, creams, meds, synthetic vitamins, coloring your hair, hair products, no commercial toothpaste.
Use instead organic coconut oil for skin and hair. Organic soap like making it yourself. Deo> make it yourself.
See organic ways to make your own soap, cream, deo, toothpaste.
Listen to relaxing beautiful classical music. Relaxing nature music.
Your fetus reacts to all nouces, sounds in your belly.
Your baby feels your stress and receives your stress hormones.
Shower your stress off, when you feel stressed! Music heals your bloodpressure and brain waves!
Good luck lady and be friendly and compassionate towards yourself ( and your baby ).
Please touch your baby in your belly, talk friendly and speak to your baby to show your love. They 'feel' it and hear your voice and other voices around you and their energy and yours.
Sleep with your baby and caress and kiss him/her. Breastfeeding will be also easer like that. Do not take meds, sleeping pills and so on. Do not vaccinate yourself during pregnancy and your baby. Give bresstfeeding instead and eat very nutrient dense and healthy.
Walk in nature.
A baby is happy with a small kitten or puppy dog as a soft compagnion for life. Never leave them unsupperviced.
But growing up together with a puppy cat and puppy dog is a gift.
Teach the baby to be soft to kitty/puppy dog to socialize to be gentle and compassionate towards an animal and later towards your next baby and other children, yourself...
Read Aletha Solter books.
Read baby massage books
Read Frederick Leboyer on babies and so on.
Read the book THE CONTINUUM COMPLEX, by Jean Liedloff.
Read a book how to sleep with babies, children ans how to wear a baby on your body!

Excellent!
I was a vegan/vegetarian for 2 decades. I collected dozens of medical conditions and a nasty collective microbiome. My first colonoscopy allowed me to eat meat again. My 3rd, prompted me into an allergy elimination diet and i accidentally fell into a meat based diet. 2 decades of researching health and nutrition, i was so scared. For several months. I kept losing weight and inflammation as long as i stopped reintroducing fruits and veggies and meds back in. I'm reactive to the potato starch in tablets. So i don't know how to get back on thyroid meds. And with several severe injuries, I'm reactive to nsaids and narcotics, so I'm told I'm self medicating. Which is what keeps me from going full Lion Diet. My sugar binging addiction is better as i have recently added more fat. I still can't see free lollipops and not binge eat. What do i do about other addictions?
That's really great that you've been able to come away from a vegan diet after that long and regain your health. I'm very happy for you!
Addiction can be very difficult, but like all addictions they do go away; generally after about 2 weeks. So if you can fight through until then, you should be good. A good way of combating cravings is to eat more fat meat, as sometimes the cravings are just your brain's way of telling you that you're hungry
I am dumping oxalates big time and feeling like ****
just a quick word, and carefull about what numbers somethimes mean.
Google will tell you:
The most recent Census of Agriculture reported 233,770 poultry farms in the United States in 2012. In 2014, the U.S. poultry industry produced 8.54 billion broilers, 99.8 billion eggs, and 238 million turkeys.
and a 1000 of those egg/chicken farms to burn down, is actually not that many... i know it sound crazy, but you really need to get all numbers before going into panic mode about supply.
And honestly - if people start eating the right way (carnivore, of cause) then the supply demand will go up for beef, and eggs - so this will cause the farmers to get better payed for their products as well - of cause it easier to deliever for McD or what ever - but if they get the right pay for it, trust me, the farmers will switch for it.
So start dealing with the local butcher and see the results.... if all was doing it, wait, see! :)
Dr. Chaffee, as a neurosurgeon is there any evidence of revering plaque in the carotid artery going carnivore?
Berberine has some great promise in studies.
Hmmm okay. Focus on diet first. I'll still exercise, but i'll dial back the intensity. 285 currently.
Buying direct from Australian farmers isnt generally possible because we dont have the network of small, local abattoirs. Theyre not viable with our smaller population.
@danejames7098 it's much less common here for the reason I mentioned. My American friends can send a cow 15km down the road to an accredited slaughterhouse and get the meat back, packed as they requested. I have a small beef herd but my nearest beef abattoir is 750km away and that would only slaughter animals, not break down carcasses.
Dr Max has got the hardcore pornstar look goin strong :)
Excellent video!
All you doctors (especially male drs.) may have not considered this fact I saw decades ago when I was first in college-we females who spoke together about surviving childhood sexual abuse and other abuse…were without exception that I have ever see-all overweight from stress/hormones/self comforting with food. I mean I have seen a few who managed to not be extremely overweight (I am 61) but without exception not a single one was slim-or even underweight. The stress connection to weight is huge-no pun intended-humongous, enormous-ok maybe a bit of a pun but still it always struck me as sad tragic- that the little girls who suffered so much were then stuck inside the fat trap of being unacceptable in society as well which is just as devastating in it’s own way. Please remember FAT IS A SYMPTOM-it causes other symptoms but be careful not to victim blame the viscerally fat people. Genetics-Epigenetics-stress-hormones-pain-medications-smells of foods, physical limitations, Down’s Syndrome, poverty, viruses, and hundreds more things are CAUSAL FACTORS.
That's a great point and very relevant. My approach (borrowed from dr Lucy Burns) is to ocnsider PHYSIOLOGY (food diet, light diet) and PSYCHOLOGY - which is everything you mention. Often people can intellectually understand what they need to do from a dietary POV, but emotional factors and deeply buried trauma can prevent them from implementing these changes. In those cases we need to understand and address these psychological reasons first. Thanks for your comment :)
@@maxgulhanemd emotional factors cause hormonal factors, cause food behavioral issues..
