🔴The Truth about Cholesterol and Heart Disease - Dr Anthony Chaffee MD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2022
- In my recent debate on Cholesterol with ACNEM, I made the case that we have completely gotten it wrong about cholesterol causing heart disease, as did my two colleagues, both cardiologists, Dr Aseem Malhotra and Dr Ross Walker. We won by 86% of the vote. In this talk I go through my arguments against cholesterol causing heart disease, and show the hard evidence to support my case. References are provided below to many of the studies mentioned, the others can be looked up by name and author given in the talk. Enjoy!

@Anthony Chaffee MD,
Please stop saying "OK,...OK,...OK,...". OK?
@ArcoZakus if we were doing shots we would be sooo wasted..ok
Thanks for all your information. Now I am more calm . My blood test was total cholesterol 326
Bad cholesterol 237
Good cholesterol 76.
Dr want me to take statins. I said no I want to trying lower it with my diet.
She said I will see you in 3 months if you didn't lower your cholesterol I will give you medicine.
The weird thing is my A1C 5.3 that's fine. No High blood pressure. I said weird because if you're glucose is high and blood pressure you're more likely to have a heart attack.
So now that I watch your video it makes more sense to me.
I already bought a supplement to lower my cholesterol but I am not going to take it.
Next time I am going to see my Dr I will ask for a CAC test or a lipid test.
@@maggierobles758looks like you know more than your doctor about cholesterol…. Maybe you should find another doctor.
Been carnivore for a year. Recent lipid panel showed total cholesterol of 288, HDL 62, triglycerides 52. Dr said I was a candidate for a statin, I told her I’m a candidate for a new dr. 😂
Haha, nice
How far in was your first blood test. I’m about 3 months in an my triglycerides are 87 and hdl 53. Hoping for better
@@tomwandersee73 I was about a year in at that point. My tg were about 80 in the beginning and HDL was around 52.
@@tomwandersee73 just use that test as a baseline and then check it again in 6 months to a year
my numbers are very similar after 6 months mostly carnivore
I'm a physician who treats diabetic and amputates limbs. I was an exercise addict and ate low fat fruits vegies all life. I became diabetic 15 years ago and I was an individual that should not have any illness. I decided to try keto. My labs all normalized and any trace of diabetes gone. I've been recommending this to patients for at least 10 years. Ive always checked labs and they always normalize. I'm 61 with normal labs. That statement out weighs any lab or research study on the planet.
Absolutely. Thank you so much for sharing doc! I'm really glad that you were able to change and influence many people's lives for the better!
I recently had my lab and my cholesterol was 310,Ldl 210,Triglycerides 77,Hdl 88 am 62yr 22:31 are they ok?
@@rwiegele9430 Well, cholesterol might not be the cause of heart disease, but I'm leaning towards it being an indicator that you will have heart disease. 3 months before my heart attack and stent, cholesterol 318, triglycerides 48, hdl 106, ldl calculated 202. AC1 6.0. I'm just trying to figure it all out with so many opposing views. If you have thyroid disease, I'm learning that that alone can push your numbers up and thats just through my own experience. Good luck!
@ILoveTrees700 what did your diet consist of before your heart attack?
@@forebackd It wasn't as bad as the Sad diet, but to be honest it wasn't much better apparently. Once a week restaurant food, fried foods and probably too much sugar in the form of desserts. I never drank sodas. I really believe my hypothyroidism was also a contributing factor of the high cholesterol. I've never been overweight, always exercised and kept busy. I think stress also played a role.
My daughter is a RN and thinks I and my wife have lost our minds. Yet we've both lost over 60lbs each. We've been low carb since Sept 2019. We can't get anyone in our family to even watch any video we share. It's so sad to see how brainwashed people are to believe the lies doctors have been telling for years. Most doctors don't even know the truth about low carb and saturated fats. We have been migrating to carnivore more and more and feeling the positive effects. Thank you Dr. Chaffee. Keep up the great work you are doing!
My daughter is married to a young general practitioner. I’ve been always a meat eater but realized cutting out all other carb crap was the secret. Doing strict since 2018. And sil still pushes ‘balance diet’ mantra. But says he wishes his blood tests results were as good as mine. He’s 32, Im 30 years older.
Dr. Ken Berry has a book called "Lies My Doctor Told Me", maybe you could leave a copy lying around 😉 and/or print outs from some of the detailed links Dr. Chaffee has so helpfully included in the description of this video! 👏
May i ask what’s your blood pressure?
@Maria Espiritu my BP is on average around 118/73. For instance, the last 4 BP readings were 114/76, 125/83, 119/74, and 115/59. This is an average of 118/73.
RNs are dumb as a brick when it comes to nutrition
My doctor is very annoyed with me for going carnivore and refusing to try statins ever again! I tried 3 brands at his behest before I found the keto/ketovore/now nearly zero carb way 18 months ago. And since then I've gotten off my diabetic meds, halved my blood pressure meds, am fixing the fatty liver and the insulin resistance, and working to reverse damage to muscles, joints, and connective tissues. I'm 71 now, and perhaps I will make it to 120 after all! Love your videos, Dr. Chaffee!
Good job. And your doctor sounds horrible if they are upset that you took control of your health and got better naturally without pills.
I wish I were a doctor and could convince my parents to switch to carnivore. I’m 37. My mom actually turned vegetarian at 70 years old.
@@WeeHgt I wish I had had the information about eating a proper human diet, as Dr. Berry termed it when I was 37! I did do a vegetarian (not vegan) diet in my fifties, but though there we some gains for weight and a slightening of diabetic markers, it never got me the real health gains that I've gotten from carnivore. I'm off all diabetic meds, lost way more weight, dropped my triglycerides significantly, and so many more things. Tell your parents about me. Maybe you can also find videos of other seniors who gained from eating keto, ketovore, carnivore to show your parents. Best of luck!
Congrats sister, I am also 72 yrs young and working to reverse all the same crap! My Doc was amazed at my A1C results after 3 months but still tried to convince me to take Statins to "Strengthen" my vascular system. I told her she was wasting her breath. You go girl!
Thank you! Best of luck with your journey! @@commonsense246
Those "people" that lied and paid the professors to release that fake information should be tried for crimes against humanity. They ruined so many lives.
But they won't be
Why would politicians go after big pharma when they are oh so happy to take contributions from them ? Likewise the media, the truth isn't buying advertising space from them but the pharmaceutical companies are on a massive scale.
Mary of these frauds are dead but their lies are continuing to rake in the $$$$.
I completely agree
So it is SUGAR again ! 😮
"The problem is they did listen to doctors and stopped eating meat and fat." 😆😆 While I'm listening to a doctor!🤣 I gave up on doctors and the medical system a long time ago. Doctors like you, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker have restored my faith, atleast in y'all. 😉
Well thank you, I'm glad I can help in some way. There are very good doctors out there, but most are very pedantic and only do what the official recommendations are, which doesn't make them correct
Cholesterol is not the enemy, sugar is the true enemy. Thanks for this eyeopening video, Dr.!
I can’t get off the sugar. It’s so hard
This kind of information makes me so angry! My life could’ve been better if I had known this long ago! My father was a doctor and my mother was a nurse. Have 6 brothers and four sisters and most are in the medical profession. Surgeons and nurses! I have been sick for so long! Thank you Dr. Chaffee! I am on a proper human diet now and trying to fix myself, it’s working slowly, but it’s working!
I feel the same way! My parents wanted the best for us and raised us in a very low fat household, but thankfully no sugar or process garbage. I'm glad that you are getting better!
I'm a disabled type2 diabetic in my 60's with a weight problem. I had given up the 'white stuff' (pizza, pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) years ago. Yet my diabetes and weight got progressively worse. Beginning of 2022 I started ketogenic diet. Didn't lose much weight so I went ketovore & stopped most vegetables and fruit. Have lost over 70lbs & no longer take insulin. I did not take statins because of the terrible muscle pain they caused. Most recent labs were all improved. My dr said 'you are healing yourself'
PS I did not ask my dr's permission to start my ketovore way of eating, I just did it.
That's amazing! I'm so glad to hear that you were doing better. Please keep it up and keep getting better!
@anthonychaffeemd Update: Thank you. I'm down 85lbs, off insulin and no longer take asthma medication. Thank you for your kindness
Congratulations❤
@sarahbatsford4791 thank you!
Update: Now down 85lbs.
My son got a vaccine injury and can’t walk. I’ve started the carnivore diet in him and I already see a slight change in his behavior. Thank you. I think he’ll recover. God first !
To help him out a little bit more you can do a heavy metal detox which will help remove the heavy metals in the vaccines should help him recover a little quicker
God Bless you and your son! I will definitely be praying for your family! I'm carnivore 5 years and completely healed from a stroke! There's hope 🙏 keep up the good work Mama 👏
Please go to the flccc.Alliance. They have a treatment plan for the vaccine injured and those with long covid
You're on the Right Path 🙏
Zeolite works great for heavy metal detox
After listening to this I strictly started the carnivore diet. Currently, I am one week into it today. I have already noticed that I am no longer bloating, and I have leaned up. I have lost 8 lbs already. I have become more energetic, I have way less pain (inflammation), and I am just not as hungry, I tend to stay more satisfied longer. I will throw out there something that I am assuming everyone who starts this diet should be aware of...withdrawals! The worst I have ever experienced. I already knew sugar was bad but dang! For about 5 days I had the worst withdrawals from sugars! I made it through however, it was no picnic. You can't believe how addictive that stuff is until you stop ingesting it. Stunning really. Thanks for all of your time, knowledge, efforts, and facts! Keep up the great work Doc!
That's awesome, I'm glad to hear it! Yeah people don't realize just how bad of a drug sugar is, but it is actually a drug by the strictest medical definitions. Well done getting through withdrawals, and I'm glad that you're doing so well! You are just getting into the best part of this where you're going to feel better than you ever have in your life, and your body will just start transforming for the better. Enjoy it!
You’re lucky. Most people, me included got some pretty serious detox symptoms which is great but scares most people away thinking it’s bad for them. Stick with it and you’ll be thriving beyond belief. Keep up the good work.
Ya. Sugar is THE gateway drug. Poison!!!!
Whats interesting is, in 2003 I followed Atkins. Lost 60 pound in 4 months. Was 230 to 170. Have only gone over 200 1 time. Currently I started the CARNIVORE and was surprised. Except for beer I had no no cravings for sugar as I realize sugar is poison and the gateway drug.
@@stephengillihan7568 and others: I never had a problem with any of that stuff thank goodness! But I was already not a fast food eater nor ate a ton of sugar, but I WAS addicted to it. I was more a grain/legume eater! And loved fruit. I have also found I am hardly hungry at all. After eating my 2 egg/bacon omelet mid morning, I am satiated until late afternoon at least, sometimes it is a challenge to get the food down!!!!!! OMAD is easily achievable now. Meat....soooooooo satisfying!
I've been keto / carnivore for nearly a decade. I've just recently switched to strict carnivore. I had some issues happening so I got some blood work done on my own, everything perfect, except my cholesterol. My cholesterol has been in the 250s-380s for a long time as well with an LDLc HDL ratio always in the 8-12 range. People always told me my heart was going to "explode" if I didn't lower my cholesterol. I set up an appointment to get a coronary calcium score. The doctor almost refused and immediately wanted to put me on statins. I asked why would I need to be on statins to lower my cholesterol if the high cholesterol wasn't causing any damage? He said that doesn't happen and I needed the statins. I insisted that since my cholesterol has been high for a long time, I needed to know how much blockage there was before getting on statins. I had a hunch it was low. So he orders the CT and I go get it done.
I understand I'm an N=1 and this is anecdotal, but my calcium score was zero in every area. I have zero blockage or build up. There's not even begun to be any blockage or build up. I'm in the top 5% of men my age (45) meaning 95% of men my age have a higher calcium score > more blockage.
I hope you threw that in your doctors face and demanded that he explain why your score was so good if high cholesterol is bad for the arteries and heart. 😂
@@firnameweren5311 He called with the results and sounded so dejected that the patient was right and he was wrong. Based on the score he had to admit that the high cholesterol wasn't causing any blockage and a statin wasn't necessary.
@@GregNoblin I bet that call felt amazing for you! 😁
Awesome! I'm hoping to get a CAC test in about 2 weeks for the first time 🤞🏻
Awesome! Doctors do NOT know it all.
I needed to hear this! My mother died at the age of 53- 28 years ago. My whole family blamed her cholesterol & is convinced she had a heart attack. I know her triglycerides were thru the roof as she ate crap & was a huge yo-yo dieter. I have 3 sisters that are all over weight & are on some medication. I'm the only one that is not on a medication, stays active & tries to eat healthy. I stared Carnivore in October & at Thanksgiving they all threw a fit as I was only eating turkey & ham. I have always had plenty of energy & I lift weights 4 times a week but they want to see my bloodwork when it's been 6 months as they all wonder if I will die before then. UGH!!!! This video just re-enforces me on this journey but if I die before one of them- even via car accident- I'm going to be pissed!!! LOL LOL ❤ your videos!!!!
Thank you so much Michelle! And keto doing what you're doing and hopefully they will eventually realize they've been lied to, and what you're doing is actually what is healthy
Yeah this is nuts. It must be right because people with the right credentials are saying its right. Then why are you fat and sick? Well...
There is no point in arguing about it. People are not rational, they believe what they want to believe. All you can do is lead by example. Though its harder to do than to say. I get in arguments over this as well. All you can do is shrugg your shoulders and move on.
@@anthonychaffeemd LDL is not Cholesterol.
Cholesterol exists only in one form.
Michele please let us know your bloodwork numbers
My nana died at 56. Cigarettes and a low fat diet caused it.
I’ve been doing Carnivore for two months after stalling out on keto. I was finding I was still having blood sugar issues on keto. After two months the change is noticeable! I’m not doing this for weight, but I have noticed I’m developing a six pack, and as a mom of two, I’m loving it! They just tell you that’s not possible because you’re a woman! Well, I don’t have a gym membership and I’m still seeing it. I’m sure that’s all the protein. My bones feel stronger, my colon is fine (even better than I anticipated), I’ve gained muscle but lost weight, I sleep better, my moods are more stable...
I am working on a naturopathic doctoral degree and now I want my focus to be the Carnivore Diet. I think everyone should try it for 30 days. I will not go back!
That's awesome, very well done! And you should! We need more and more people like yourself to join in and become knowledgeable voices to help promote a carnivore eat of eating
@@anthonychaffeemd thank you!
With a Carnivore Diet you don't have to Think too much about Carbs , Sugar or even Calories that Much
I sure would love for someone knowledgable about the Carnivore Diet to speak in some of the over 55 communities, it may save many lives. Especially in Florida Just a thought.
I did it for 2 weeks and lost 10 pounds, but it was beyond horrible, for me, to only eat meat. My body completely rejected the idea of only ever eating meat. Anyone who can eat this way...incredible! My diet is whatever I want, but no overeating, low sugar, and only water, to drink. I mostly eat some dairy, apples, a few veggies, zero greens lol, lots of eggs, chicken, brown rice, potatoes, dark chocolate is my only treat, and the occasional indulgence of spaggetti/mac n cheese. A few other things, but I mostly try to keep it simple. I am 60 years old and in perfect health. What one eats is very personal, and if it works...great!
Spent the last 8 years researching heart disease and cholesterol as clinical lead for a chronic disease company (RediCare Control) and this is - by far - the best 30 minute summary of cholesterols role (lack thereof) in heart disease. Superb job man. Love to have you on our podcast some time. Keep up the great work Anthony.
My dad just jad a triple bypass, and hes been on cholesterol meds and diabetes meds for as long as i remember. This is proof to me that the meds do nothing for you, and what we need to do is get off the processed sugars and carbs. I started eating mostly meats for 2 months, lost 11 pounds, my clothes fit better, and I dont feel any cravings for sweets, pizza, pasta, etc.
I quit my statins and high blood pressure medicine 10 months ago. Started carnivore eating 5 weeks ago. Down 14 lbs and have a clearer brain now. I was concerned about Alzheimer’s, as my Dad was on statins for 25 years and he died from complications from Alzheimer’s.
After watching your videos I've started the zero carb, full carnivore diet. I've had some ongoing problems with health but my main reason is that my gran grandmother and her daughter and her daughter (which was my mother) all had and died from breast cancer and whole my life I'm trying to exercise and eat healthy. So the problem with my health started with the job that I currently work (which is highly physically heavy and demanding) where my colleges constantly was trying to convince me that eating a lot of meat is bad for me, even though i was raised eating a lot of meat and was always very lean and strong as child, but now living with my husband and being long hours with my colleagues stared to eat less and less protein thinking that "maybe" is not that good and I gained 33 pounds in few years and a lot of health issues. Now only one month in carnivore I drop down 17.6 pounds and feeling almost back to my old self.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge! 🙏🏻
That's fantastic, I'm so happy for you! And you're very welcome, I'm so glad it's helped!
Ivermectin will get rid of breast cancer. Parasites are responsible for cancer.
I’ve heard this cholesterol message so often now but it never fails to amaze me that doctors are still pushing statins on so many people. I was put on statins 4 years ago but couldn’t tolerate them so came off them after 6 months, despite my GP trying to put me on another type. Now with all I’ve learnt from Dr Aseem Malhotra (consultant cardiologist in UK) & others, I would never go near them again & as I’m now 64 I know that higher LDL is actually protective. I no longer eat “low fat” anything, have massively reduced processed food, never touch seed oils, do intermittent fasting and have dropped over a stone, so am no longer overweight. Big Food & Big Pharma aren’t interested in healthy populations as there’s no money in good health but something needs to change as healthcare systems around the world are buckling under the strain of largely preventable diseases.
Hi 👋
agree 100%
My mother always told me that fat burns fat, I did not belive her at the time but now I know better.
Greetings from Sweden.
You have an unusual mother! Excellent.
Emergency injury/ trauma treatment is the only field of medicine I would trust anymore. The GP’s can rack off. I never go, ever.
Exactly, they are driven by big pharma dollars plus ignorance❤
The U.S. used to be # 1 rated in the world, for chronic health care. Now, as far as industrialized nations, the U.S. is rated last! The U.S. is still rated #1, (I may be wrong)with respect to “emergency care” services, in the world, but this is sure to change. Apparently, rural, regional hospitals are facing funding/financial problems, across the nation. Many hospitals are being forced to close their doors, as a result of the illegal immigration overburdening such facilities. This is part of the bipartisan NWO “replacement theory” agenda/strategy implemented to usurp our country.
I had my first heart attack in 2002 I was put on statins and kept on them till I got my and maintained my LDL down to around 100 then I had another heart attack. so lowering my ldl just caused a lot of muscle aches and other issues, but didn’t prevent another event.
I’ll take my chances on the keto carnivore diet even though I have high ldl now because I feel like I’m in my 30s again
Climbing mountains and keeping up my friends who are 45 and I’m 69
Yeah, the whole cholesterol causing heart disease thing was just a complete lie and a scapegoat invented by the sugar companies. It was never the cause of heart disease, and higher levels are associated with living longer and healthier lives
So is there a limit on how high cholesterol , especially LDL should be though? Mines 6.7 rn.
I am on carnivore.
My blood work shows :
Total cholesterol: 392.
Triglycerides :39.
HDL :88
My doctor said it's a dangerous condition, but I believe it's a good numbers.
remember Jonestown? That's you!
392 IS FUCKING CRAZY PLEASE GET HELP SIR UR GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK
Your numbers are perfect 👍👍
I reversed endometriosis, migraines, allergies and excema by being carnivore. Been carnivore for 6 years. I love it. I have so much energy it is hard to burn off.
I just hit middle age I feel like I am in my 20's. Carnivore is amazing. I wearing clothes from the early 90's when I was a fitness model. I could not be happier with my health. I take no medications
@Bladerunner2043 I eat 2 to 2 1/2 pounds daily. If it is a rest day I might eat 1 1/2 pounds. It depends how hungry I am.
@Bladerunner2043 grass fed rib eyes, grass fed sirloin, grass fed ground beef, organic humainly raised pork chops, no sugar organic bacon and grass fed sausage
@Bladerunner2043 2 to 3 meals per day
@Bladerunner2043 I take no supplements. I have no nutritional deficiencies
For people who follow Ken Berry, Paul Mason etc. as I do, not much new stuff, but I was watching the whole video anyway, because you're such a great guy, and honestly speaking I wish I was like you, looks, intelligence, determination etc. 🙂
I believe you
Last year, my doctor said my A1C was 7.5 - I have T2D, fatty liver & gallstones. I don’t understand how since my diet was textbook healthy. I was prescribed Metformin but I refused. I went Carnivore & my A1C went 5.3 in 4 months, then 5.4 again 3 months after that.
Then doctor said cholesterol too high (but triglycerides, etc were perfect), MUST take statin immediately and stop eating meat and add good carbs.
I tried the advice (except the meds) and in a few weeks, my blood glucose went to pre diabetic range again.
Seems to me, high cholesterol isn’t bad as they say. I’m going back to Carnivore.
Flowerbomb90 Hope you’re feeling better! What was your diet like when you ended up with fatty liver and gallstones?
@@sannamuh985 Thanks. I ate what was deemed “healthy” and not the Standard American Diet - tons of fresh fruits, fruit and vegetable juices, vegetables, rice, milk, potatoes, whole wheat bread, very little red meat, fish & grapeseed oil for cooking. I do have a very big appetite but I eat mostly real food. I even did a juice fast, fruit feast and vegetables only for some weeks. It was a big shock to me to be diabetic. Turns out that these carbohydrates whether real food or not turn to sugar. Natural sugar in fruits is still sugar - not good! Now I know better. I’m pretty sure the Carnivore diet will again fix my health.
You know, when I went back to the doctor after 4 months and my A1C became normal (due to Carnivore), she didn’t even bother to test again for fatty liver and gallstones. Basically saying, you don’t have them anymore.
Your doctor is worried about your heart (because LDL is ASSOCIATED with cardiovascular disease), but he’s perfectly happy to keep you diabetic (which in some studies is between six and twelvefold higher incidence of heart disease). Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.
@@Flowerbomb90 Cholesterol is definitely not the main concern, especially if you're eating Carnivore. It's so strange to me to see doctors pushing diet and lifestyle that make their patients worse without seeing that this means the recommendations are wrong. So it's still happening, doctors are still pushing the same nonsense that guy us here in the first place
Time to fire your doctor.
If your doctor is ignoring the facts that are blatantly in his/her face then to continue to make bad recommendations is just plan arrogant. And arrogance is worse than ignorance.
Yep that's what I did, I listened to the government, I was thin 33 years ago, and began a low fat high carb diet, I went from 145 to 209. Last year I started eating high fat low carb, no sugar diet, and I have lost 60 pounds without adding exercise.
It's a relief. My cholesterol is always very high; my doctor keeps warning me about its dangerous for not taking his prescribed statin medication. Thank you very much.
I went to see my cardiologist yesterday and got a blood test and he said my TOT CHOL and LDL were higher than Sept's blood test after I started a carnivore diet in January and he wants to put me on statin. My TOT CHOL IN SEPT WAS 215 VS. FEB'S 233; MY LDL WERE 166 VS. FEB'S 184., HDL = 44., TRIG = 91
My doctor said there are tons of studies that statins are good for you. I told him I rather not take it because I saw what statin did to my mother.
What statins did to your mother?
Wish more doctors would speak the truth. What turned my life around when I read Nina Teicholz “ The Big Fat Surprise.” I’m so glad I found you Dr. Chaffee. I’ve lost 70 pounds of weight since I’ve went carnivore.
Excellent book!
Doctors are too busy saving lives, not writing books, making money off youtube, going on TV shows.
Dr. Chaffee I have been enjoying your videos so much. I have been doing carnivore since October 2021. I no longer need thyroid medication and labs are really good. Less brain fog but still have some healing to do there. Insulin resistance greatly improved but still have some healing to do there. I have lost 45 lb so far with ease. I am in my 50s, post menopausal, and thyroid issues so I'm really impressed with my metabolic improvements and the weight loss not being difficult. Reactive hypoglycemia has gone away. Rosacea has improved a lot. Hair doesn't fall out a lot anymore.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you shared in some of your other videos about herbs and spices causing depression. I've had severe depression my entire life even as a child and I've had significant improvements there too.
I am not completely healed but am experiencing a lot of improvements in my mental health and physical health. After reaching a point of hopelessness I am finally hopeful. I am working on getting ride of that last 5 % to heal the rest of the way and feel amazing instead of just better. Thank you thank you thank you so much for what you are doing. Look forward to your videos. Praying for God's protection over you and the good work you are doing here to help us all have better health 🙏
Remember it’s a journey and not a race that advice was as much for me as you 😉 I want my healing to go quickly but We all heal differently. you are doing amazing!!
You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your testimony. I need to get back to carnivore!
Thank you so much Toni, that reality means a lot for me to hear. I'm so glad that you have been improving so much as a result of your diet changes, and it's something that you will continue to see as you go along with it, especially when going pure meat and water. You're doing an amazing job, and I'm really happy for you :)
If you were taking meds for thyroid obviously the numbers of tsh were normal. So what made you decide to stop the meds?
My 88 year old mom who has dementia, to this day, won't touch bacon or butter because she remembers that "fat is bad" and will cause her cholesterol to go up 🤦🏻♀️
She needs it to go up
Brilliant review Dr Chaffee! Thank you for quoting the endless studies proving the theory that cholesterol is protective and needed for a proper functioning body. ☺️
I feel like I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. I started carnivore nonchalantly, in Jan of this year at the recommendation of a few family members. Almost immediately, I started gaining weight…. So I began researching. Reading, watching, listening….. to everything, trying to figure out why I wasn’t losing! As a result, the more I learned, the more strict my diet became. I started initially, thinking it would be nice to lose a few lbs … and I didn’t have much to lose! But now, I’m 13lbs heavier (which I don’t love, I’ll be honest), but I literally couldn’t care less. The health benefits of the carnivore lifestyle is astonishing!
I’ve been 100% BBBE and salt for 3 weeks now and I can confidently say that I will NEVER eat plants again. Thank you, Dr Chaffee, for dedicating your life to teaching the public about this WOE and exposing the lies. People have been robbed of their health for someone else’s monetary gain and It’s beyond awful.
I'm very surprised you gained weight.
It is disgraceful
These mini-lectures that you do are among the most educational and valuable things on UA-cam. Thank you and please keep doing them!
This was very clear. I can never hear enough of the actual evidence.
I've been Carnivore for seven months. I've lost 22lbs, cleared up autoimmune issues, skin clear and have more energy than ever. My friends and family just think I'm crazy and so unhealthy meanwhile they struggle to lose weight and/or have all sorts of health issues. Some people simply refuse to listen unless it's the confirmation bias they are looking for. Oh well, I tried.
Misery loves company...
Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your research and medical opinion, Dr. Chaffee. Great information! My cholesterol is the only item my doctor is “concerned” about. I have not been concerned and this video only strengthens my opinion. My doc was blown away (in a good way) by all of my other levels, despite me being meat-based Ketovore. 😉 I know deep down, getting back to Carnivore is the only way to feel and be my best. Damn food nostalgia. I will get back to it. 💪🏼
Thanks again. You are helping so many people.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. And I'm glad that you're doing so well! That's always great to hear
Exact same here! 61 years old with “perfect”numbers except for cholesterol- each time I am urged to start statins. I did the calcium cholesterol scan and got a perfect 0 score and still urged to control my cholesterol.
@@kyleneal413 awesome. This test really illustrates the bad that goes under the hood right?
Once I started eating egg yolks my health increased ten fold
Ive been caravore keto well over 20 + years against all odds since the 90s. Ive used this for the sole purpose of fitness and health which we must agree are associated. The function of muscle pushed passed a normal capacity creates internal healing based on my personal documentation from the 1990s. This is a lifetime opportunity to create a new lifestyle and change your health forever.
How is your sleep? Do you leverage carbs at?
@@blahizake between 0 and 10 grams if any. My sleep is incredible
@@TIMHOFFER Same here
With respect, I have known people who are remarkably "fit", but that, in and of itself did not wholly translate to "healthy". In fact, my 35 y/o personal trainer died from cancer, as did my friend's gym buddy who was a total stud. I also lost a friend to cancer who was vegetarian and who also happened to be a runner for many years.
While I am a big proponent of healthy diet and lifestyle, I must beg the question:
How the heck did someone like Charles Manson live so long when we know for a fact that his mother had an extremely poor diet and lifestyle, therefore NOT a particularly good start for Charlie, AND, we also know that prison food (and hospital food😜) is about the worst stuff you can eat. Furthermore, Manson spent most of his life incarcerated (~53 yrs), which likely meant not so much sun, fresh air, healthy relationships, etc. Scientific marvel? Genetics? Idk.
@@karenf9137 I’d say lifespan and health span aren’t synonymous. Also, someone being a runner hardly qualifies them as either fit, or as you mentioned, healthy for that matter.
What is your definition of fitness? If you subscribe to CrossFit’s train of thought for ‘fitness’, it falls along a spectrum from sickness on the left > wellness in the middle > fitness on the right.
They link metabolic flexibility, increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains, and anti-fragility within the same family. Runners and personal trainers do not inherently fall in line with this necessarily.
I am a pathologist and agree with you 100%
Power point presentation with references would be incredibly helpful when discussing those facts with our colleagues. I am a MD and this info should be shared!
It would do no good doctor. The powers that be would surprise it with money and coersion.
One of the best videos! Thank you. I’m sending this video to my PCP with another decline for Lipitor :) I’m happy with my blood test results (they aren’t). Total cholesterol 294, TG 48, HDL 68, BP 106/60, calcium score-0.
Thank you ! My doc keeps pushing statins and I keep refusing to get sucked into them ! I’m so glad I have refused ! Now I know it’s the sugar and sodas I must work on cutting out !
I was an anemic vegan and vegetarian for 12 years in my teens and twenties. In my thirties I found that grain made me super sick. I just recently started adding more beef to my diet and trying to get off grain(rice is hard to give up) completely. I've already noticed my bm are more regular. Also, I've noticed that the inflammation in my body is going down. It's amazing!
I bet your farting less as well.
I developed Crohns in my early 40,s. Went on men's for it, in my mid 50,s, I had very high blood pressure. I then found Keto, lost 40ish pounds. Been mostly Carnivor for 8 months now. No polyps in the past 5 years, no pain from Crohns. All good, EXCEPT my wife will not listen, she is a sugar beast. I think her resistance is because she is thin and sugar did not make her fat. I do wish her the best but I am afraid for her. Great info Dr.
I am from Australia and my GP told me I had dangerously high cholesterol scores and it was crucial for me to be on statins. Being aware of the side effects, I told her I would think about it. As far as she is concerned 3 years later I am still thinking as I have not been back to her and have no intention of doing so.
Amazing data thank you so much!! At 68 I was told LDL high and Dr was all worried for me. I’ve been keto for years but cheated occasionally with desserts and ate berries. After watching your wonderful videos I’m not worried at all about LDL levels. I am on carnivore second week and keep watching you daily for more information. Thank you taking the time to document this information. I’m sending it to friends and family and this week three more went on carnivore. Truth is powerful.
Hi, I’m also 68 with high LDL. Just found out today. Doc wants me on statins but I want definitive proof that I can show her that I don’t need those meds. Carnivore for 6 months.
I am so relieved to hear you say all this. I just turned 65 20 feb. I have been lifting for over 40 years, and see you do as well. Mr Dr. two years ago perscibed, perindopril ( 8 mg ) , anti-depressants, and a statin. His remarks at the end of the appiontment, were......" you will be on these for the rest of your life" I have never taken the statins, took myself off the anti-deprresants June 2021, and off perindopril two weeks ago. I have cuff at home my reading this morning before food was, 128/65 pulse 61 I'm 5' 10' at 226 lbs. My wiegh was at 260 lbs I started the carnivore Monday this week with no fear, high hopes for great results. I liked and subscibed to your channel is so comforting to hear your voice of logic and reason. Thank you so much. Bruce from Canada.
How are you doing now?
Hows the progress !!!!!!
My mom was put on statins. Doctor admitted contributed to her acute illness, hospitalization and subsequent death. The drug was called: Baycal. RIP💞2002
She was only 68.
Statins kill.
My doctors and practice nurse were annoyed with me for changing my diet to zero carbs a couple of years ago, stating that I should stop what I was doing as it was dangerous. They were blind to the fact that that was exactly how I lost 98 lb in weight (severely obese to ideal BMI) and reversed T2D, NAFLD and hypertension!!! My nurse tried to make me have a statin again because my “cholesterol” (cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins) levels were “too high”. I refused as I know the standard thinking on the subject is all completely backwards on downright wrong. I can no longer trust anything my doctor tells me and have to do my own research before I decide whether or not to accept their advice.
Strange how Cholesterol goes up in vegetarian diets ...also Keto ... my heart attack was 10 years ago and for at least 9 years i have had high cholesterol
which in my opinion must be required because it stays almost the same each year ... i wont take a Statin period ... thats because they are toxic .
So far i take a number of natural things like krill oil ... Gly Nac .. Nattokinase .. Taurine .. Creatine ..Vitamin D and K2 ..Magnesium .. i lost a lot of aches
and pains (age69) as i used to be a gardener for 13 years ..i still do hard work in my own garden .....i turned down a quadruple by pass in 2014 also .
Thank you, Dr. Chafee, so much! My brother-in-law with MS …. they’re stripping his good cholesterol around his cells that he needs to heal with this damn cholesterol lowering medication. I’m praying he will stop it soon. Listening to your information is so helpful. Thank you, again.

Fully agree
Whos to blame???
Most Doctors not all?
My vote is yes
Thank you for being Honest
To me whenever he’s saying okay it’s the polite way of saying “do you get it now?” lol
This is very helpful thank you.
Dr. Chaffee you look amazing! You look strong, youthful, and radiant with energy. This is what we want!
I am so glad to find your UA-cam Channel! I am always a heavy meat eater, with plant food as side dish. I was always concerned with my meat heavy diet, thinking it is not healthy based on what we heard so far. I even tried plant based diet briefly and my body did not like it.
Now, after watching all your videos, I feel so liberated! I am always healthy, strong, and people think I look younger than my age. My diet has been working for me, now it is also proved by you and a lot of healthy carnivores out there.
I think other than avoiding sugar and processed food, people should be open minded and just listen to our body, eat what make us feel good. Everyone is different, we shouldn’t be boxed into just one diet. I believe some people will thrive on plant based diet, but there are also people who would do better on meat, probably most of us!
Keep up the good work and I hope more people will find your Chanel!
Hello
You are providing valuable information. Keep on the course!
Thank you Dr Chaffei really enjoy your talks
My doctor hated the fact I took my health into my own hands and utilise them as admin if anything at the moment.
I saw a video that said that one of the side affects of statins cause anxiety and depression. It happened to me but never made the connection till I saw that video. I went off the medication for a year and felt great but when I started taking it again my anxiety returned. Have been off for several month and on a keto diet. Was glad to hear you say it.
Whenever someone asks me the facts behind Carnivore, I give them a sheet of paper with all your vid links on it. I don't argue, just say, here see for yourself! This one is at the top of the list! Works every time. Thanks Doc for all you do and the time you spend researching the PHD!
You've given this list to docs? And some of them listened? OMGOODNESS I'll have to try because I'm SICK of hearing the statin argument and they're getting more heated 😤
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video! Thanks!❤
I really wish I had known these things much sooner in my life. I've already changed my eating, so I'm headed in the right direction now. It's nice to have back up.
All I can say is WOW!!! Thank you for sharing the research!! I did Keto for some time and the results just stopped. Carnivore for the last 3 weeks and had no idea I could feel this good!! Still a work in process, but I am so satisfied when I eat now!! I literally crave steak! 😊😊
Thank you for this video.
I love how you explain things. Thank you!
Thank you Dr Chaffee. This was so interesting and having started eating carnivore 8 weeks ago...always looking for more data. My entire family has been "diagnosed" with high cholesterol and prescribed various statins. The "doctors" claim its genetic and a liver disorder. I shared this with all so we can make more informed decisions in regard to this. The fraudulent claims by paid researchers is beyond despicable. I applaud you for seeking and speaking truth.
I’m a CVICU nurse and dole out these death pills almost to every patient. I try to inform my patients but I’m going agAinst the grain with fellow nurses, doctors, surgeons etc..
I’m more disgusted by all the brain dead doctors who just go along with it all.
Praying ur IQ goes up 🙏🙏🙏
Cutting out alcohol has been a life changer in so many ways. I am glad you mention it. I am amazed how many doctors never even mention alcohol or suggest one stop drinking. Depression, anxiety, inflammation, blood sugar, etc are usually a alcohol problem. I encourage everyone to stop drinking for one month and see for yourself. If you are a regular drinker you are in for rude awakening about alcohol’s negative effects on just about everything in your life.
Thank you, you are a great inspiration 😊❤
You are amazing, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been in giant arguments with my family ever since they found out I have been eating carnivore because “heart disease and gout and …” and your videos really help me smooth the waters. I keep hoping to convince them to try it too but it is definitely a hard sell.
Great video Dr. Chaffee. We know you are super busy with your medical work, but we appreciate you taking time to educate the world on how to be healthier and debunk the lies out there, like that cholesterol is bad when we can clearly see it is not! Can’t wait to see Dave Feldman’s study results on Lean Mass Hyper Responders to debunk high cholesterol is bad. More proof to boot the lies on cholesterol being bad!
I finally listened to this. Thanks. Absolutely great!
I just started listening to your videos. I am really enjoying the information. I appreciate all the work you put into them.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found you and the other doctors and carnivore advocates on UA-cam. I'm convinced I have found the holy grail of healthcare.
I'm glad you think so! I agree completely!
It is great to have a list here of some studies and results, to counteract bad information others spread. Although it has been decades since I have had a medical exam I would tend to believe any doctor who looks as healthy as this one and lives the lifestyle he recommends. Also great you brought up how even as smoking has been reduced heart disease has increased due to the bad advice to cut fat and increase sugar.
I learn more everytime I tune in. ❤
The best video yet! Thanks, Doc!
As of yesterday I've been starting my research on the carnivore diet. It's a win-win! Write the book, Doc and I'll buy it! Appreciate honesty.
Absolutely thrilled to have found your videos from right here in little old Perth ! Thank you for sharing your info, I'm keto/carnivore but intend to be more strict carni. Wish I could find a GP that is a clone of yourself instead of the usual factory mindset GP's that are churned out by the system 😕
Thanks for great info!
Thank you so much. We need to get the facts out there.
Saw the short b4 I saw this, so I have since found your source….Incidentally after 5+ years of keto + OMAD the only thing I’ve been devouring for the past 3.5 weeks is meat, eggs, salt, water and any content that you put out! Thank you so much for all the work that you do and I really appreciate your mission to put the allopathic chronic symptom treating doctors out of work. I was feeling damn good with my keto + IF protocol but I’ve experienced euphoria on carnivore. Last month I completed my 62 trip around the sun and I’ve never felt better! Thanks Doc!!
Health is like Politics. Pick your side of the aisle. Afterward no proof is possible to sway either. We're living in weird, dangerous times.
The premature funerals, low quality living won't move the barge.
Great Work Dr, love from Dubai ❤
Iwas iagnosed with ' high cholesterol' back in 2007 and I have never taken any meds.
Awesome. I've been told by my regular M.D's that I must lower my cholesterol especially after menopause. It's high, but up into the 230s to 250s, but I was told by my functional M.D. Dr. Nuenshwander that it's the the precursor to making hormones and that it will go up especially after menopause. Can you please do a video on menopause and carnivore if you have any information. I still suffer with some pretty strong symptoms, but I have probably only been eating about 70 % clean, and only meat and fat for about 2 weeks now. I sure hope this puts some muscle on me, I still look decent for 57, but I really can see the muscle disappearing every year now. Thank you.
The main thing is to keep HDL up and triglycerides down (preferably under 100). Otherwise don't worry about LDL or total cholesterol.
Nuremberg 2.0 : there is a call for the establishment of tribunals, similar to a second Nuremberg, to hold accountable those who intentionally mislead the public about diet and medical treatments, labeling these actions as crimes against humanity.
I would think that would be appropriate, yes
@@anthonychaffeemd Is there a video available of the debate you mentioned? Cheers!
Very informative! Thank you for taking the time to do this video.
excellent talk well presented.
Thank you so much for this super, super informative video! I would interested to hear about your experience with respect to patients who add salt to a strict carnivore diet, particularly those with autoimmune issues because it appear to me that salt is bad for this subgroup and drives many to rely on electrolyte supplements to mitigate symptoms.
Thank you! I appreciate your information. I have studied extensively about my Cholesterol and had identified some of what I discovered that my cholesterol is not as bad as what all has been presented, I am very healthy, no other issues, I eat healthy, low dairy, very little processed foods/never fast foods. I have had my blood test done and really could not identify why I have any issues all other areas are good numbers. After your video, I am realizing I am a super healthy 65 year old women that loves working out and swims three times a week. Happy Health! Looking forward to your videos!
Doc thanks for the video and the links included below. I’m looking forward to your book!
Thank you, Dr. Chaffe. Information just in time. 🙏
Thank you, Dr. Chaffee, for taking your valuable time to explain so well how we can live longer, healthier and pain free. You are worth your very healthy weight in gold to every one of us!!! I've been on the keto diet for quite some time, but my heath gains stalled, then I found your videos and the stall is far behind me, and I'm just starting out! It's only been a month and the differences are tremendous! Thank you, thank you thank you!!! Perfect video!!! I'm passing this one around to every one of my friends!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Your friends will think you are insane.
@@stephengillihan7568 You're right. Reminds me of a song that goes, "Isn't it a pity, now isn't it a shame". But I'm not the type that says, "I told you so" so I will lead by example! That's the very best teacher, anyway.
Dr Chaffee please consider ;if you’ve not done so already) a full day of what you eat and if possible how you cook it. Would be so helpful. Thank you for being Ming the carnivore diet in such a way that makes sense. Especially when our brains are pure cholesterol and burn cholesterol, why would we want to reduce cholesterol!
Dr. Chaffee has answered this several times. The only thing Dr. Chaffee eats is beef, typically ribeye steak, twice a day if my memory is correct. He drinks water. He gave up even using salt.
Thank you Dr Anthony. Excellent video!
