Dr Anthony, I told my doctor I was on the carnivore diet and she walked off and sent her nurse practitioner to deal with me. She was just a pill pusher and I refused her pills she wanted nothing more to do with me.
I'm really sorry to hear that, that's really poor behavior on the part of your doctor. Just remember that doctors work for you, not the other way around. They are your employee, they are there for your benefit. They are not providing you benefit, you go to somebody else. If enough people recognize this and only choose to see doctors who are actually providing benefit for them, they will have to change their attitude quick or be out of a job.
My cardiologist did the same once the arteriosclerosis I had in my carotid arteries started to reverse after I went to just meat, fat, salt and water. I’ve been 7yrs carnivore along with my family. We’ve found many of the mainstream advice is inverted is this 🤡🌏
@@terrifictomm My ability to handle triggers has increased drastically. I still have sensory sensitivities and other special needs, but it really is like night and day. My suicidality is gone. I was chronically suicidal my entire life (common for those of us on the spectrum). I’ve had more attempts than I can count. I actually want to be alive now. I still have bad days of course, but it’s different now. I’m able to confront life’s challenges much better than I used to. I originally went carnivore for superficial reasons (wanting better skin and body composition). I didn’t anticipate all these added benefits!
So happy for you. I believe all young couples planning a family NEED this method of natural therapy. I get suicidal thoughts as I fell 8.5m off a ladder in 2011. I still spend 21-22 hours a day in bed as that’s the only place I can get some relief from my chronic spinal pain. I’ve seen so many Drs it’s not funny. Actually I’m about to see Dr David Johnson and his team in Brisbane soon and hope that there is a non surgical solution I’ve had 37 operations so far. They can be a good solution, but they can be a waste of money of worse cost you your life (unlikely though). After starting starting a STRICT self imposed 3 month “trial” (I told myself I would not change my plan till the 3 month mark-that was a top idea! and I believe key to my success. Of course you HAVE to be DAMM determined to succeed and NOT cheat. I stayed the course. Sure it wasn’t easy, after all it took decades of abuse to get to that state (type 2 diabetes, etc etc etc. HbA1c 8.7-now 5.4, likely lower. Was 154kg, now almost 9 months later 99kg). After doing Lion for 4 weeks I started weaning of Agomelatine (antidepressant) over the next 2 weeks. So after ONLY 6 weeks I was off multiple meds!!! Did 50/50 Lion/Carnivore and I’ve noticed that if I eat 2/3 consecutive meals of crumbed steak that the carb addiction comes back and after 3-4 it’s bloody strong. It’s actually quite frightening how incredibly powerful bloody carbs are. So I no longer have ANYTHING crumbed. It tastes way better anyway. I was in a shocking bad mental state just prior to doing Lion, but now my mental health (and of course metabolic health) is so so much better. I’m so glad you shared your story. Thank you. I hope many others can get better too.
I really enjoy the "benefits" of my autism, hyperfocus, elevated cognition and pattern recognition; despite its drawbacks like social anxiety, poor social skills, etc. I think the lion diet completely eliminated my anxiety without removing my "gifts", I feel superhuman, I don't see my autism as a disability, nor as a superpower, I'm just different, and the lion diet saved me from so much pain, but it hasn't "cured" me from autisum, and I don't want to be "cured" from autism!
I would wager you don't actually have autism anymore. This is just your brain functioning at its proper capacity. Autism isn't what does that. It also didn't cause your social anxiety, an improper diet led to dysfunction in your hormone levels, which a red meat diet corrects in so many ways.
@@goosegirl941 I agree -- my youngest daughter is almost 44, and has a three-year-old's vocabulary -- she basically functions on the level of a three-year-old. I can't consider that a super power, either. I've often wondered if the so-called 'high-functioning' autism is actually autism at all. Not to downplay their difficulties, but I've heard too many people who call themselves high-functioning autistic claiming that autism isn't really a disability, just a different way of being. In my opinion, they've never encountered real autism. My daughter and I have been on strict carnivore for several weeks (we started over a year ago with carnivore/keto), and she is doing much, much better, but she's probably never going to be able to function independently.
@@goosegirl941I concur with you. My daughter is level 1. Can be honor roll, or high honor roll.. whatever that means but behavior can fall back to the toddler like appreciation for toys and other behaviors that rule her out of many social circles. She has little instinctual recognition for danger, especially social. We have others in my wife’s circle of friends who have autism. One 13 year old daughter is non verbal, another boy at two years was just diagnosed with ASD, and most tragically a friend of hers 20 year old daughter wanted so bad to live on her own rented a small house in the country,met a guy online who ended up raping and murdering her. I would put the social recognition near the top of the list in terms of enhanced risks that those on ASD spectrum are especially vulnerable.
@@kathleensanderson3082 I feel for you and your daughter, but before disbelieving someone for saying they are autistic just because they aren't suffering as much as your daughter, please keep in mind that, firstly, if they were diagnosed by a professional, then there must have been genuine issues that resulted in that diagnosis, and secondly, it's called autism *spectrum* disorder for a reason. We should be helping each other and praising each others' victories, not casting doubts on each other.
Thank you dr. Anthony Chaffee for this awesome podcast with dr. Chris Palmer, that actually help my own son with Autism and i my self with Epilepsy. Since we both doing keto/ carnivore/ IF. We actualy are more focus, and more healthier. My son after 30 years he call me MOM . That right there hit me with happyness and joy that i found out it really was the nutrition that we have been poison with SAD toxic crap😢. We now after 2 years on keto ( my son), and me ( carnivore) we are doing excelent. I my self have no more seisures since 2022. I also want to thank dr. Ken Berry too👌🤙🏻👍. God bless you all doctors that care for humans health. Not like some primary so call doctors, that they only think about profits, and not humans health😢
O.M.G. my oldest son 20 has autism and I have epilepsy and am on a carnivore diet - 4 years now. It sounds like we have a lot in common! My son is meat based - he's like his dad.. he'll eat anything 🤦🏾♀️ but I get him eating a lot of meat and eggs and he's ok with it. Just the other day I went to his room to say hello to him and ask him if he is ok, and he came over to me and hugged me! This is the first time he has ever done this in his life!!!! 🥲❤🥰 brings tears to my eyes.. he seems to slowly be coming out of his shell! I'm gonna get him to full carnivore. He is awesome 😊
This channel is a Godsend ~ I hope they don't 'cancel' this Dr! That seems to be the outcome when the truth comes to surface. THEY don't want us healthy! A patient cured is a customer lost!
Control the food control the people. That's why they are trying to get rid of cattle around the world right now. That's why there are scientists working on creating fake meat. If you're not in the system, there's no money.
@@julienfroidevaux1143 Mate, there is a MASSIVE, PROFITABLE INDUSTRY being supported by sick people. I suspect you work either for the Government as a disinformation agent, this is actually AI generated, or you work in the industries that PROFIT from sick (not of their choosing by the way, as food is designed to be ultra addictive) people. I find it hard to believe that your not one of the above I mentioned. Perhaps you would care to debate me further on this? I’m quite happy to. I can actually think much clearer since I’ve recovered. “They”, definitely want us sick. Where did you come up with that tradies argument? That’s totally illogical. Yep-AI My mother always said “money is the root of all evil”. She is almost right. Money and CONTROL is the root of all evil.
Exactly!!! It took me a long time as a nurse to finally figure that out, and when I did, I quit! Profit is made from ILLNESS, not health, so there is no incentive at the top to keep us healthy! MD's are not taught in school to address the primary cause (proper nutrition, diet, etc.), only to treat the symptoms with medication or surgery. The cause is avoided and not addressed -- only the symptoms are treated with medications that cause other diseases and symptoms. This keeps us sick and unhealthy while the profits continue rolling in. Only a very few MD's have thought outside of what they have been taught and addressed it, such as this channel, Anthony Chaffee.
Also an autistic adult (with ADHD and OCD as well). Nutrition has been the key to becoming high-functioning. Many of the challenging aspects of autism are now significantly milder and completely manageable. As autistic people, so many of us struggle because we're much more sensitive to literally everything, including food. I wish more people understood the importance of nutrition and had the drive to implement and stick with it.
I have loss over 100lbs, I’m still fat morbidly obese and I want to have more children’s. I understand I need to loss over 100 more lbs to make sure child comes healthy as possible.
Some 36h fasts will help a great deal with weight loss without slowing metabolism. With any kind of diet the weight loss tends to stop at some point. For someone who needs to lose 100+ alternate day fasting could do wonders.
Good luck on your journey. Relaxation helps some, particularly in nature. High stress jobs are a big problem. Try getting up with the sun, relax outside to reset your circadian rhythm. Eat before dark. Fatty red meat is a good satiety regulator. Your kids will be amazing and their development with surpass all others. Go you bed (say) at 8, then read a book, not a device. I’ve started enjoying reading books again. I find laying horizontally (not sitting upright in bed helps too) while you read.
120 days Carnivore today!🎉❤🥩🥚🥓🍖 44 yo female, dropped from 137-120# in that timeframe. My chronic UTIs I've had since I was 4 yrs old, and flared up again in 2021. I feel amazing and I'm glad I found this lifestyle before my Dr tried to prescribe my 1,000th antibiotic for something that wasn't the issue here. Something in me said antibiotics were NOT the answer and would never be the thing that healed me. I was oxalate poisoned and seed oils sensitive. If I accidentally get any seed oils on meat cooked at a restaurant I instantly feel like there are pins and needles and razor blades in my bladder, you can't tell me that has to do with bacteria. Everything to do with seed oil toxicity, also nightshades set me off big time, so I avoid them as well. Kind of dirty carnivore, I do occasionally eat pickles and olives and I do drink a latte in the morning with heavy cream. Thanks, Dr Chaffee!! I'm so grateful and I share your videos all the time with patients in my clinic. I'm a HBOT tech. I'm going to start doing dives several times a week in March going to really boost mitochondria health. ❤❤❤
My daughter had 2-4 egg yolks between 6 months to 3years old, she is 16 now. She is much smart than her brothers who didn’t have that much eggs when they were young.
She had 2-4 egg yolks a day as a baby? How did you feed her that? Did you soft boil? I have a 9 month old and I’m trying to figure out how to feed her more egg yolks. I can barely give her a few spoonfuls before she’s done. I give her puréed ground beef and steak too though.
@@estherruth4692 I mix the egg yolks with same amount of warm water, and then steam the mixture in lower temperature until it set like Greek yogurt. Then I fed her with spoon.
@@estherruth4692 I just put the mixture in a bowl(not plastic), and put in the water in a pan and cover the pan, turned the heat low just keep the water boil for about 10-15 minutes. And use a spoon to check the mixture cooked.
I have a mitochondrial disease. I’ve been on strict carnivore for 3 months. No improvement in energy. I’m losing hope. I’ve lost weight, no arthritis pain.
33lbs down, 5 months carnivore (dirty, so I've allowed myself to cheat) My dr just told me my blood pressure is "Excellent!" His words. My mental health has never been better!
Im an adult that was diagnosed with ASD, ADD and dyslexia. Carnivore diet changed my life. Im currently re-doing high school. Its upsetting i lost so much time, but its also great i didnt die a vegetable.
I notice once chopped liver went out of the American diet, autism tripled /quadrupled. I’m not sure if it’s Type of meats (organ meats) that matter . Organ meat is highly nutrient rich
Thank you for this golden information. It makes a lot of sense. It really does, and I know more people who need to know. A plant based diet for children should be illegal by the way.
I agree, it doesn't even provide basic nutrients for the child. Absolutely child abuse. I think Italy has actually done that and made it illegal to see kids a vegan diet. The pediatrician association in Italy has certainly been vocal about it anyway.
This is so very interesting. I myself am autistic, but no one else in my family are diagnosed as such. And i read and heard that it is genetic; maybe-maybe environmental factors. Maybe genetics can predispose, but not cause autism? If so, that would be a relief, in the event that i would rear children. An unlikely thing to happen, but not impossible. Armed with this knowledge and lifestyle, perhaps my offspring would avoid this maldevelopment. Furthermore: i am one of those that can attest to the positive effect this way of eating has on my general function. I've felt significant improvement in cognition, coping better with mental fatigue; being overwhelmed/overstimulated, less tense in social settings (i'd tighten up just being around others in general - not even interacting with anyone - sometimes). Less bothered by it now. Also absorbing and processing information, learning and getting used to things (these are difficulties with my developmental diagnose) is generally easier. Not groundbreaking change, but any noticable improvement is very welcome. Didn't really expect that at all. Maybe some mental clarity, because i already knew the brain functions better on ketones, to a degree (i've been on keto before). I was anticipating the most greater and more consistent energy and strength, but not quite to this degree. I had always struggled with appetite, energy and motivation, unless i was under the influence of substances. All these have, like many others, improved significantly: -I'll gladly eat a kilogram of really rich and fatty meat in one sitting, which was unheard of for me before. Sometimes i'll even feel like eating more after such a meal. -The energy doesn't seem to stop at all. Only muscle fatigue, sleep fatigue and being short of breath seem to be factor of being.. well, fatigued. But the energy is still there, ready to go when the fatigue fades. -I've been thin as a rail my whole life. I seem to be putting on some muscle rapidly, and getting more "gaunt" facially at the same time. And i'm not really trying hard to achieve it, either. It's really quite strange, but also a welcome change. I also feel stronger and more forceful than i have before. Sometimes i'd feel weak when clenching my fist, for instance. Now i don't notice that anymore.
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so much better with it and have had such great improvements! And thank you very much for sharing your story and experience with it, it's so important that more and more people get this information so they can hopefully give it a try.
@@anthonychaffeemd Thanks, doc. And yes, I've been trying to spread the word to close ones. Obviously, most are just going to get stuck in cognitive dissonance, but a couple have given it a go, but are having issues with cravings, and I guess they're still afraid to eat enough. Which is understandable, after a lifetime of having "red meat and saturated fat is dangerous" mushed into your head all your life. But it's great they're giving it a shot. One has diabetes, and the other is genetically predisposed. Maybe it'll save/lengthen, certainly improve their lives if they bear long. - This, in no small part thanks to you and the work you're doing. I'm glad and impressed that you fit this into your schedule. You're doing good work, sir.
This is just a small excerpt from an awesome interview which I highly recomend you search for and watch. The information available in the interview is astounding, important and mind altering...pardon the pun!!
I appreciate this information and everyone's comments. I'm sharing this with a dear friend in the hopes that it might provide her with hope in regards to her daughter who is on the spectrum. 🙏🏼
I love this channel, I have learned so much over the past 2 years from it. Learning from some of the best in this field is such a privilege, thankyou. At the beginning of my own health journey you recommended I read Mr Salisbury's studies, which I found most helpful and enlightening. Now having done 2 years 100% carnivore I am still trying to figure what exactly caused 'microscopic colitis'. Dr Chafee, would you say it too is mitochondria disfunction?
Yes I take extra of that too. We get some from meat but if you are deficient from eating plants adding more will only help. Supplements are great if they are from good sources, independently lab tested and in the correct forms for our body. I would add iodine to your supplements.
In my household (where there's an MD) they are trying to stop my carnivore because "kidney stones, stroke, and uric acid" despite of showing studies it isn't enough, what the hell.
Intense family pressure here as well. Sister is a crna and she talks to the md’s that she works. I’m 65 and only 4 months in carnivore, bbbe, and hanging tough because it works so well. I’m planning on comparing where I’m at in a year with them, at which point I’ll start the pushing them to do just 30 days. Stay strong.
Both my husband and I slim and metabolically healthy when our son was born, never vaccinated but autistic from the start and with bad gut issues, despite being breast fed exclusively for the first six months. BUT I had a mouthful of amalgam fillings and there is a link between the number of maternal fillings and autism rates and also, I have had gut issues myself for many years. So I think the picture is more complicated than just metabolic
You can be metabolically unwell and thin at the same time. It’s not about appearances, it’s about metabolic health. Ketone is a much safer, required “fuel” and is opposite to Glucose. In fact if the total level of sugar (50/50 glucose/fructose) in the entire bloodstream exceeds the 4 grams threshold the body responds by inflammation. That’s why low carb is so popular as the liver metabolises carbs into blood glucose. Ketogenic diets (many variations) are low carb.
@trevorsmith7753 India also genetically has fewer people with the muscles of elite athletes. Africans have the highest rates. Europeans next. Asians last.
Im 5 weeks in and i was very optimistic after 3 weeks as i was feeling 'normal'. Im a slim fit 39 year old male. But now my ADHD symptoms are as bad as ever. Im struggling with insomnia, boredom and fatigue. Im trying to eat as much fat as possible and consume electrolytes through the day. I am tempted to go back to standard diet NOT because i crave carbohydrates but because I need to feel better, I need energy for work.
The doctor mentioned obesity but I am curious to see what he think about East African kids living in the US being disproportionately affected by autism: obesity is not a problem in these communities. Does the standard American diet affected their parents even though their parents are not obese ?
That's a very good question, I haven't ever tested anybody for carnitine though so I'm not exactly sure. You will get plenty of it and meet though, and especially in red meat. So if you have that as a regular part of your diet, you should be fine.
I agree on the inclusion of meat. 🥩 I think it’s very important. I do also agree that mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of autism, but there we diverge. I have had 5 children all naturally. I believe autism is caused by the epidural being given too early and being used too often and this delaying the oxygen path of the baby. I believe this adversely affects obese women and their babies as they are more likely to get the epidural, be unhealthy and have an unhealthy baby who may be overweight. Your arguement in autism doesn’t stack up at these obese women are NOT on plant based diets in my experience, they eat a lot of red meat (but that’s not the problem!) they eat excessive carbs and sugar. I agree with you guys on everything else. I think meat should be included in all diets. I think carnivore suits men better than women but overall it is a brilliant diet (I do keto) ❤ great interview!🎉
My daughter is autistic, and I didn't have any medications when I was in labor with her. Nor was I obese at that time. We had quite a low income at the time (my husband was an enlisted man in the Air Force; our income was about $500/month then, 44 years ago), and while I did my best to make sure we had a healthy diet, I was also following what was then accepted wisdom about what a healthy diet was. We used margarine and shortening and vegetable oils, combined grains and legumes to get a 'complete' protein, and so on. Now I know that that was bad advice, but back then it was what we were taught.
I think you are all missing one important factor, in almost all cases things like this are multifactorial. Preterm babies that get shots too early increases the risk, meditation usage, heavy metal expose, bottle vs breastfeeding, and so on. You can't always blame autism on one single thing, as its often a combination of them.
@@jackoverton8343Agreed. I had a natural childbirth and have always maintained a heathy weight - but I didn't eat any red meat throughout my pregnancy bc I thought I wasn't supposed to.. and my daughter is autistic. For full disclosure, I am also autistic. My biggest regret is that I fed her a mostly plant-based diet with only lean meats for the first 12 years of her life until I knew better. 🥺🥺
@@mstmarieprov It's okay. Not everyone has time or is in the right state of mind to question everything all the time. Even constantly looking for things to improve my health I skip over something so obvious for years. Diet is definitely a big one, but you've been lied to by many for most of your life. Its understandable don't beat youself up over it. Just do your best to help your family and others now with what learned.
Dr. Chaffee, I had been eating carnivore for over three months. I ended up needing a pacemaker due to second degree heart block type two. My heart rate got as low as 38bpm. I didn’t take electrolytes. Not sure if this caused it. Have you heard of this happening?
I have 2 kids living with Autism (one non verbal low functioning) ... And I was 52kg, 53kg when I fell pregnant My husband was super fit. We are meat eaters...and I do low carb. You are missing something guys....
I feel for you and your husband. He did say it is a theory. A lot of what we hear about scientific evidence is actually theory. I think there is enough evidence to show that an unhealthy mitochondria leads to disease. One of my friends had twins and right after they got the MMR vaccine one of them became profoundly autistic. No signs previous to that. I think there are a number of things. By changing my diet, I healed from asthma, hay, fever, severe severe cat, allergy, and eczema. I know for fact it was the food.
My husband and I have a theory that true autism is a work specialization to promote innovation and development of technology. This would mean that you can't get rid of autism through diet because it's evolutionarily advantageous for some of the population to think this way. Please watch the documentary Spellers with reference to your non verbal son. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I cried a few times. Nothing is guaranteed but I feel compelled to make sure everyone knows about this movie.
Ive been trying to reach put to anthony for a bit now. With no success. Ive been doing carnivore for awhile now. With is not working. Ive had chronic lyme for many many years. It seems i may have some version of hyperinsulinemia, pain and pinching in my neck on the right side where vegus nerve is. With never ending popping in my right ear, and in the last 2 years my veins have been itching, burning in hands and feet, most main veins in my hands and feet are dark and visible threw the skin, tons of micro vascular damage threw my face, all joints are popping and grinding, hair falling out, lower back and major hip pain on right side, always amplified after eating, subsides slight about hr or two after eating, but agin flairs up again right after eating. I used to be active in pretty much any sport you could think of. I now enjoy walking, thats the extent of that. And in only 38, i have very little good days and pore quality of life. Im pretty desperate at this point. As no naturalpath, MD, specialist had been able to help me at all.
You may have some extremely rare conditon. The best people to diagnose those are brand new doctors as theyve recently studied them. More experienced doctors forget over the years as theyre so rare they will never see a patient with it in their lifetime. Other than trying a new doctor. Id post a lot on the subreddits carnivore,fasting,lowcarb, and so on. One armchair doctor probably have some theories and perhaps one will seem relevant to you and you can research it further. My own peronnal experience is fasting for 3-5 days with just water cures everyhting(body produces bdnf/stem cell ect). 7 years of nerve dmg in my neck/hand gone after my fast. Just becareful and make sure its safe with whatever issues you have. Don't given up man. You can do it. Stay strong.
If it's happened in the last 2 years, did you get the experimental injections? If yes, there's your answer, look into how best to detox from them. If not, have you tried extended fasting to help your body reset?
GPT4: "infections can significantly increase the body’s need for carnitine due to heightened metabolic demands, the need for efficient energy production, and the role of carnitine in reducing oxidative stress and modulating inflammation. Supplementing carnitine during infections and other stress conditions can potentially support the immune system and overall energy metabolism." All those reports of autism symptoms materializing after a you-know-what. Carnitine could be a plausible mechanism. The proverbial straw on the camel's back.
I wrote a comment but deleted it. I don't want to come across as unkind but Chris Palmer's up talking is distracting and interferes with his presentation. It might would be useful for him to address it. Like any other speech affect or pattern it can be corrected. It creates a sense of irritation in the listener. Not everyone, certainly but enough such that working to correct it could be professionally useful.
Unfortunately a lot of people get the wrong diagnosis. And have in fact borderline, narcissistic, sociopathic or hystrionic or psychopathy 😖. And not autism and/or adhd. Yeah, they can have also a mix with the above. But the approach of the environment has to adapt with that, in a huge way!!!!!! Dating scène: just run and don't take the risk which ones it could be!!!
It’s more that we are saddened beyond belief, that while following government and health guidelines of the day in good faith, that we damaged not only our own health, but that of our as yet unconceived or unborn child. You cannot fathom the grief, guilt and regret that this new information causes. My daughter is 30 years old, non-independent ASD, and a beautiful soul, but I wouldn’t wish her childhood experiences of bullying and alienation on my worst enemy. Thank goodness her memory process allows her to completely ignore this aspect of her early life. She is however keenly aware of her own loneliness and lack of close friends, and the socialisation issues behind this. Yes, there will be mothers and fathers (their poor health/sperm health is also a contributing factor) the world over who are becoming pissed off, angry, furious about this - but not at themselves and rightly so. We were duped by the governments and health professionals, many of whom also thought they were doing the right thing. It is now that we need to add our voices to get the health professionals and governments to listen and take notice of the newest research. We need to get to a point where there are no conflicts of interest, and no funds received from food manufacturers, sellers or lobby groups, pharmaceutical companies, or anyone with a vested interest in keeping the general population unhealthy.
I’m a mom of an autistic teen. I don’t think I caused anything. I did not know how me taking tylonal during pregnancy recommended by my Dr. Would maybe be a cause I blame vaccines and MDs also things in the environment. Fluoride in water and soooo many other things. I know better now and I will implement changes in her diet. With a lot of pushback from family 🤦♀️
I think poor glucose and insulin control is damaging the blood vessels and circulation long before you are told you are a diabetic or prediabetic. We end up with impeded blood flow throughout the entire system and it creates the cell danger response so the mitochondria are not functioning properly…. Or when mitochondria are operating properly the blood flow is optimum, as when you dive into all literature , it states that mitochondria produce nitric oxide, and nitric oxide increases blood flow. If we have impeded blood flow in our bodies in certain areas it we would create a sort of panicked/ un easiness in the parasympathetic nervous system. Anyways just some incomplete thoughts from someone trying to figure out what’s ailing them. It’s really interesting how much has come out and challenges the main stream media propaganda. Here’s a weird experience, I had to all of the sudden stop caffeine as sometimes it would make me have very strange/large heart beats and also weird neurological symptoms. I was pretty desperate for a supplement for energy so I had a friend bring me back meldronium from Eastern Europe. Meldronium is a canitine synthesis blocker. It’s supposed to make to you run on glucose and have “and endless energy” well it made my heart go bananas, just like caffeine did, no medical professional can tell me why that is. I think it’s a mitochondrial problem because of not being able to switch between fuel sources. Anyone?
Im 60..runway model...MD...eat what I want...just finished another graduate degree...compete in multiple athetic events...list goes on...so not sure ur factoring in genetics...
My son is 2 and 1/2. We both have genetically caused autism. He got diagnosed with level 2. He also just got results from his brain MRI, which showed incomplete hippocampal inversion, dilated perivascular spaces, and T2 hyperintensities scattered throughout the deep white matter of both hemispheres. Would it be too late for a carnivore diet to help him? He's a picky eater but I'll try anything to help him.
If you believe that carnivore is the proper diet, it sure won't hurt, can only improve his health (and yours...). Most people would at the very least improve by cutting sugar and process food. In your son's case, he would probably benefit from being pretty strick for awhile to see how he reads.
It can certainly help, and help with ongoing neuronal development because he is still very young and the brain is very plastic. It may not be able to restructure the parts of his brain that didn't develop properly in the first place, but it will in all likelihood improve the function and development of his brain from now on
Autism diagnosis has changed a lot in the USA in the last 20 years. Asperger's, PPD-NOS and other disorders are all combined with autism now. So you will get more people with autism now because more disorders are called autism.
Many animal-based nutrients have been scientifically studied in their role to improve mitochondrial functioning. Also, it's what animal-based foods lack that helps as well, such as having little or no deuterium, propionate, gluten, antinutrients, agrochemicals, etc.
Love the informative content Doc. I have not been able to get through the first 1-2 weeks of the adaptation phase. The carb cravings are bad but that's a known enemy. I know that I just have to suck it up and grind through. The worst thing is I get extremely angry and aggressive while going through the adaptation phase. I have heard no one talking about this particular withdrawal symptom. These last few times I have stopped because I was having irrational angry outbursts at my family. Any tips or advice?
I had to GREATLY increase the frequency of my workouts. As in like 100 push ups when waiting for my steak to grill😊. Do a bunch of sit-ups when your watching TV or so a set in between multiplayer matches if you game it up. It WILL make you feel more calm while giving you gains at the same time
After watching 1000's of hours of these doctors. Here's what I'd do if I was starting over. This is just my opinion, and it is not medical advice. If the reasoning applies to your situation, then use these suggestions as a starting point for additional research. If the issue is hunger, try eating carnivore foods whenever you get hungry until you are full. I've heard this referred to as "priming" by some in this space. Your appetite will normalize after some time. Your body is trying to get nutrient deficiencies resolved. Let it do its thing. Some people even make "travel bacon" to get through this part. If the issue is from electrolyte loss (aka the keto flu), use more salt and/or consider quality electrolyte drinks like LMNT. As you progress, you'll grow to need less salts, depending on your particular biology. Some people just seem to need more even after fully adapting. If the issue is withdrawal from the taste of sweet (which does appear to be a real thing for some people), try using some carb free flavored water or sparkling water like la crox. Once you've transitioned, you can ween off those if you want. Finally the last suggestion I see from some of these docs is to consider weening yourself down to keto and then carnivore over several weeks instead of jumping right in. So, your body has more time to transition. Hopefully, you can get a real answer from a professional instead of a lay person like myself. I may watch this stuff often and read a few medical papers, but for me, it's just a hobby.
@@anthonychaffeemdI assumed he meant bc you're a doctor in peak physical shape, which just goes to show how rare it is. I wouldn't call Dr. Chris Palmer a "bro," altho I love it for him that he would be grouped as such bc I'm sure he'd find it amusing. 😄😄
@@mstmarieprov no , i call this whole channel out because its filled with lies .. stupid claims one after the other 😉 so its only worthy of being called a term i wouldn't even use my self : bro science 😉
Dr Anthony, I told my doctor I was on the carnivore diet and she walked off and sent her nurse practitioner to deal with me. She was just a pill pusher and I refused her pills she wanted nothing more to do with me.
I'm really sorry to hear that, that's really poor behavior on the part of your doctor. Just remember that doctors work for you, not the other way around. They are your employee, they are there for your benefit. They are not providing you benefit, you go to somebody else. If enough people recognize this and only choose to see doctors who are actually providing benefit for them, they will have to change their attitude quick or be out of a job.
Better off without 😅
My doctor is great--for ordering my blood work. Other than that I don't use her. Sadly, referrals and tests are what most PCPs are good for.
I say good riddance! 😂 It’s an opportunity for you to find a better doctor! 😊
My cardiologist did the same once the arteriosclerosis I had in my carotid arteries started to reverse after I went to just meat, fat, salt and water. I’ve been 7yrs carnivore along with my family. We’ve found many of the mainstream advice is inverted is this 🤡🌏
I’m an autistic adult and carnivore has changed my life for the better. Two years strong. I’m never going back!
Share your story!
I'm sure you are and will. How can you not with such positive results!
Tell us more.
@@terrifictomm My ability to handle triggers has increased drastically. I still have sensory sensitivities and other special needs, but it really is like night and day. My suicidality is gone. I was chronically suicidal my entire life (common for those of us on the spectrum). I’ve had more attempts than I can count. I actually want to be alive now. I still have bad days of course, but it’s different now. I’m able to confront life’s challenges much better than I used to. I originally went carnivore for superficial reasons (wanting better skin and body composition). I didn’t anticipate all these added benefits!
@@julienfroidevaux1143 thank you!

Thanks for sharing!
I'll use your story when speaking about carnivore work others.
So happy for you.
I believe all young couples planning a family NEED this method of natural therapy.
I get suicidal thoughts as I fell 8.5m off a ladder in 2011.
I still spend 21-22 hours a day in bed as that’s the only place I can get some relief from my chronic spinal pain.
I’ve seen so many Drs it’s not funny.
Actually I’m about to see Dr David Johnson and his team in Brisbane soon and hope that there is a non surgical solution
I’ve had 37 operations so far. They can be a good solution, but they can be a waste of money of worse cost you your life (unlikely though).
After starting starting a STRICT self imposed 3 month “trial” (I told myself I would not change my plan till the 3 month mark-that was a top idea! and I believe key to my success. Of course you HAVE to be DAMM determined to succeed and NOT cheat. I stayed the course. Sure it wasn’t easy, after all it took decades of abuse to get to that state (type 2 diabetes, etc etc etc. HbA1c 8.7-now 5.4, likely lower. Was 154kg, now almost 9 months later 99kg).
After doing Lion for 4 weeks I started weaning of Agomelatine (antidepressant) over the next 2 weeks.
So after ONLY 6 weeks I was off multiple meds!!!
Did 50/50 Lion/Carnivore and I’ve noticed that if I eat 2/3 consecutive meals of crumbed steak that the carb addiction comes back and after 3-4 it’s bloody strong. It’s actually quite frightening how incredibly powerful bloody carbs are.
So I no longer have ANYTHING crumbed.
It tastes way better anyway.
I was in a shocking bad mental state just prior to doing Lion, but now my mental health (and of course metabolic health) is so so much better.
I’m so glad you shared your story.
Thank you.
I hope many others can get better too.
I really enjoy the "benefits" of my autism, hyperfocus, elevated cognition and pattern recognition; despite its drawbacks like social anxiety, poor social skills, etc. I think the lion diet completely eliminated my anxiety without removing my "gifts", I feel superhuman, I don't see my autism as a disability, nor as a superpower, I'm just different, and the lion diet saved me from so much pain, but it hasn't "cured" me from autisum, and I don't want to be "cured" from autism!
I would wager you don't actually have autism anymore. This is just your brain functioning at its proper capacity. Autism isn't what does that. It also didn't cause your social anxiety, an improper diet led to dysfunction in your hormone levels, which a red meat diet corrects in so many ways.
Good for you, my son is 12 with a 3 year old’s vocabulary. I don’t consider that a superpower.
@@goosegirl941 I agree -- my youngest daughter is almost 44, and has a three-year-old's vocabulary -- she basically functions on the level of a three-year-old. I can't consider that a super power, either. I've often wondered if the so-called 'high-functioning' autism is actually autism at all. Not to downplay their difficulties, but I've heard too many people who call themselves high-functioning autistic claiming that autism isn't really a disability, just a different way of being. In my opinion, they've never encountered real autism.
My daughter and I have been on strict carnivore for several weeks (we started over a year ago with carnivore/keto), and she is doing much, much better, but she's probably never going to be able to function independently.
@@goosegirl941I concur with you. My daughter is level 1. Can be honor roll, or high honor roll.. whatever that means but behavior can fall back to the toddler like appreciation for toys and other behaviors that rule her out of many social circles. She has little instinctual recognition for danger, especially social. We have others in my wife’s circle of friends who have autism. One 13 year old daughter is non verbal, another boy at two years was just diagnosed with ASD, and most tragically a friend of hers 20 year old daughter wanted so bad to live on her own rented a small house in the country,met a guy online who ended up raping and murdering her. I would put the social recognition near the top of the list in terms of enhanced risks that those on ASD spectrum are especially vulnerable.
@@kathleensanderson3082 I feel for you and your daughter, but before disbelieving someone for saying they are autistic just because they aren't suffering as much as your daughter, please keep in mind that, firstly, if they were diagnosed by a professional, then there must have been genuine issues that resulted in that diagnosis, and secondly, it's called autism *spectrum* disorder for a reason. We should be helping each other and praising each others' victories, not casting doubts on each other.
Thank you dr. Anthony Chaffee for this awesome podcast with dr. Chris Palmer, that actually help my own son with Autism and i my self with Epilepsy. Since we both doing keto/ carnivore/ IF. We actualy are more focus, and more healthier. My son after 30 years he call me MOM . That right there hit me with happyness and joy that i found out it really was the nutrition that we have been poison with SAD toxic crap😢. We now after 2 years on keto ( my son), and me ( carnivore) we are doing excelent. I my self have no more seisures since 2022. I also want to thank dr. Ken Berry too👌🤙🏻👍. God bless you all doctors that care for humans health. Not like some primary so call doctors, that they only think about profits, and not humans health😢
What a fantastic testimony!
Please share more everywhere!
You and your son are CALLED to share your experiences.
That’s so amazing ❤I put my son on keto a month ago and I hope we have results like that too!
O.M.G. my oldest son 20 has autism and I have epilepsy and am on a carnivore diet - 4 years now. It sounds like we have a lot in common! My son is meat based - he's like his dad.. he'll eat anything 🤦🏾♀️ but I get him eating a lot of meat and eggs and he's ok with it. Just the other day I went to his room to say hello to him and ask him if he is ok, and he came over to me and hugged me! This is the first time he has ever done this in his life!!!! 🥲❤🥰 brings tears to my eyes.. he seems to slowly be coming out of his shell! I'm gonna get him to full carnivore. He is awesome 😊
Thats amazing! You should start a UA-cam channel.

Exactly!!! It took me a long time as a nurse to finally figure that out, and when I did, I quit! Profit is made from ILLNESS, not health, so there is no incentive at the top to keep us healthy! MD's are not taught in school to address the primary cause (proper nutrition, diet, etc.), only to treat the symptoms with medication or surgery. The cause is avoided and not addressed -- only the symptoms are treated with medications that cause other diseases and symptoms. This keeps us sick and unhealthy while the profits continue rolling in. Only a very few MD's have thought outside of what they have been taught and addressed it, such as this channel, Anthony Chaffee.
YOU TWO ARE BOTH CURING MY LIFE !!! THANK YOU!!
I'm so glad to hear that!
Also an autistic adult (with ADHD and OCD as well). Nutrition has been the key to becoming high-functioning. Many of the challenging aspects of autism are now significantly milder and completely manageable. As autistic people, so many of us struggle because we're much more sensitive to literally everything, including food. I wish more people understood the importance of nutrition and had the drive to implement and stick with it.

Some 36h fasts will help a great deal with weight loss without slowing metabolism. With any kind of diet the weight loss tends to stop at some point. For someone who needs to lose 100+ alternate day fasting could do wonders.
Good luck!
So grateful you want to get healthy for your future kid. They deserve it!
Keep doing what your doing carnirvore will get you there, good luck🙏
Good luck on your journey.
Relaxation helps some, particularly in nature.
High stress jobs are a big problem.
Try getting up with the sun, relax outside to reset your circadian rhythm.
Eat before dark.
Fatty red meat is a good satiety regulator.
Your kids will be amazing and their development with surpass all others.
Go you bed (say) at 8, then read a book, not a device.

I find laying horizontally (not sitting upright in bed helps too) while you read.
120 days Carnivore today!🎉❤🥩🥚🥓🍖 44 yo female, dropped from 137-120# in that timeframe.
My chronic UTIs I've had since I was 4 yrs old, and flared up again in 2021. I feel amazing and I'm glad I found this lifestyle before my Dr tried to prescribe my 1,000th antibiotic for something that wasn't the issue here. Something in me said antibiotics were NOT the answer and would never be the thing that healed me. I was oxalate poisoned and seed oils sensitive. If I accidentally get any seed oils on meat cooked at a restaurant I instantly feel like there are pins and needles and razor blades in my bladder, you can't tell me that has to do with bacteria. Everything to do with seed oil toxicity, also nightshades set me off big time, so I avoid them as well. Kind of dirty carnivore, I do occasionally eat pickles and olives and I do drink a latte in the morning with heavy cream. Thanks, Dr Chaffee!! I'm so grateful and I share your videos all the time with patients in my clinic. I'm a HBOT tech. I'm going to start doing dives several times a week in March going to really boost mitochondria health. ❤❤❤
Update.
6 mo carnivore, April 23, 2024. Still love it, still felling good.

Keto for 9 months dropped 50 lbs and carnivore the past month of it, what a change
Now 10 months carnivore. Still going strong 💪
My daughter had 2-4 egg yolks between 6 months to 3years old, she is 16 now. She is much smart than her brothers who didn’t have that much eggs when they were young.
She had 2-4 egg yolks a day as a baby? How did you feed her that? Did you soft boil? I have a 9 month old and I’m trying to figure out how to feed her more egg yolks. I can barely give her a few spoonfuls before she’s done. I give her puréed ground beef and steak too though.
@@estherruth4692 I mix the egg yolks with same amount of warm water, and then steam the mixture in lower temperature until it set like Greek yogurt. Then I fed her with spoon.

I notice once chopped liver went out of the American diet, autism tripled /quadrupled. I’m not sure if it’s Type of meats (organ meats) that matter . Organ meat is highly nutrient rich

That's great to hear! Thank you very much!
Thank you for this golden information. It makes a lot of sense. It really does, and I know more people who need to know.
A plant based diet for children should be illegal by the way.
I agree, it doesn't even provide basic nutrients for the child. Absolutely child abuse. I think Italy has actually done that and made it illegal to see kids a vegan diet. The pediatrician association in Italy has certainly been vocal about it anyway.
Explain all of those high IQ healthy vegan kids?
Listening 20, February 2024!!!!
This is so very interesting. I myself am autistic, but no one else in my family are diagnosed as such. And i read and heard that it is genetic; maybe-maybe environmental factors. Maybe genetics can predispose, but not cause autism? If so, that would be a relief, in the event that i would rear children. An unlikely thing to happen, but not impossible. Armed with this knowledge and lifestyle, perhaps my offspring would avoid this maldevelopment.
Furthermore: i am one of those that can attest to the positive effect this way of eating has on my general function. I've felt significant improvement in cognition, coping better with mental fatigue; being overwhelmed/overstimulated, less tense in social settings (i'd tighten up just being around others in general - not even interacting with anyone - sometimes). Less bothered by it now. Also absorbing and processing information, learning and getting used to things (these are difficulties with my developmental diagnose) is generally easier. Not groundbreaking change, but any noticable improvement is very welcome.
Didn't really expect that at all. Maybe some mental clarity, because i already knew the brain functions better on ketones, to a degree (i've been on keto before). I was anticipating the most greater and more consistent energy and strength, but not quite to this degree. I had always struggled with appetite, energy and motivation, unless i was under the influence of substances. All these have, like many others, improved significantly:
-I'll gladly eat a kilogram of really rich and fatty meat in one sitting, which was unheard of for me before. Sometimes i'll even feel like eating more after such a meal.
-The energy doesn't seem to stop at all. Only muscle fatigue, sleep fatigue and being short of breath seem to be factor of being.. well, fatigued. But the energy is still there, ready to go when the fatigue fades.
-I've been thin as a rail my whole life. I seem to be putting on some muscle rapidly, and getting more "gaunt" facially at the same time. And i'm not really trying hard to achieve it, either. It's really quite strange, but also a welcome change. I also feel stronger and more forceful than i have before. Sometimes i'd feel weak when clenching my fist, for instance. Now i don't notice that anymore.
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so much better with it and have had such great improvements! And thank you very much for sharing your story and experience with it, it's so important that more and more people get this information so they can hopefully give it a try.
@@anthonychaffeemd Thanks, doc. And yes, I've been trying to spread the word to close ones. Obviously, most are just going to get stuck in cognitive dissonance, but a couple have given it a go, but are having issues with cravings, and I guess they're still afraid to eat enough. Which is understandable, after a lifetime of having "red meat and saturated fat is dangerous" mushed into your head all your life. But it's great they're giving it a shot. One has diabetes, and the other is genetically predisposed. Maybe it'll save/lengthen, certainly improve their lives if they bear long.
- This, in no small part thanks to you and the work you're doing. I'm glad and impressed that you fit this into your schedule. You're doing good work, sir.

My son did not become autistic until after his 3 round of child vax’s. Asperger’s.
True!

I love this channel, I have learned so much over the past 2 years from it. Learning from some of the best in this field is such a privilege, thankyou. At the beginning of my own health journey you recommended I read Mr Salisbury's studies, which I found most helpful and enlightening. Now having done 2 years 100% carnivore I am still trying to figure what exactly caused 'microscopic colitis'. Dr Chafee, would you say it too is mitochondria disfunction?
I take acetyl-l-carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid and coenzyme q10. These have made a huge difference beyond what i was getting through a low carb diet.
Yes I take extra of that too. We get some from meat but if you are deficient from eating plants adding more will only help. Supplements are great if they are from good sources, independently lab tested and in the correct forms for our body. I would add iodine to your supplements.
Wow, this makes sense. I have Asperger’s and I see the correlation.
In my household (where there's an MD) they are trying to stop my carnivore because "kidney stones, stroke, and uric acid" despite of showing studies it isn't enough, what the hell.
Intense family pressure here as well. Sister is a crna and she talks to the md’s that she works. I’m 65 and only 4 months in carnivore, bbbe, and hanging tough because it works so well. I’m planning on comparing where I’m at in a year with them, at which point I’ll start the pushing them to do just 30 days. Stay strong.

Heavy metal poisoning

Both my husband and I slim and metabolically healthy when our son was born, never vaccinated but autistic from the start and with bad gut issues, despite being breast fed exclusively for the first six months. BUT I had a mouthful of amalgam fillings and there is a link between the number of maternal fillings and autism rates and also, I have had gut issues myself for many years. So I think the picture is more complicated than just metabolic
Amalgam filling Has mercury
Slim doesn’t mean healthy
My son is on the spectrum as well as friends. We werent obese. My friends were body builders. I had toxemia when pregnant.
You can be metabolically unwell and thin at the same time. It’s not about appearances, it’s about metabolic health.
Ketone is a much safer, required “fuel” and is opposite to Glucose.
In fact if the total level of sugar (50/50 glucose/fructose) in the entire bloodstream exceeds the 4 grams threshold the body responds by inflammation.
That’s why low carb is so popular as the liver metabolises carbs into blood glucose.
Ketogenic diets (many variations) are low carb.

But now my ADHD symptoms are as bad as ever. Im struggling with insomnia, boredom and fatigue. Im trying to eat as much fat as possible and consume electrolytes through the day.
I am tempted to go back to standard diet NOT because i crave carbohydrates but because I need to feel better, I need energy for work.
The doctor mentioned obesity but I am curious to see what he think about East African kids living in the US being disproportionately affected by autism: obesity is not a problem in these communities. Does the standard American diet affected their parents even though their parents are not obese ?
How much meat do those children eat?

Great info..can you do a vlog on carnivore and telomeres?
How can you test for Carnitine and if you can naturally produce enough for yourself? Asking from Australia.
That's a very good question, I haven't ever tested anybody for carnitine though so I'm not exactly sure. You will get plenty of it and meet though, and especially in red meat. So if you have that as a regular part of your diet, you should be fine.
I agree on the inclusion of meat. 🥩 I think it’s very important. I do also agree that mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of autism, but there we diverge. I have had 5 children all naturally. I believe autism is caused by the epidural being given too early and being used too often and this delaying the oxygen path of the baby. I believe this adversely affects obese women and their babies as they are more likely to get the epidural, be unhealthy and have an unhealthy baby who may be overweight. Your arguement in autism doesn’t stack up at these obese women are NOT on plant based diets in my experience, they eat a lot of red meat (but that’s not the problem!) they eat excessive carbs and sugar. I agree with you guys on everything else. I think meat should be included in all diets. I think carnivore suits men better than women but overall it is a brilliant diet (I do keto) ❤ great interview!🎉
My daughter is autistic, and I didn't have any medications when I was in labor with her. Nor was I obese at that time. We had quite a low income at the time (my husband was an enlisted man in the Air Force; our income was about $500/month then, 44 years ago), and while I did my best to make sure we had a healthy diet, I was also following what was then accepted wisdom about what a healthy diet was. We used margarine and shortening and vegetable oils, combined grains and legumes to get a 'complete' protein, and so on. Now I know that that was bad advice, but back then it was what we were taught.
How do you explain the many babies born with autism whose mothers did not have an epidural and were not obese?
I think you are all missing one important factor, in almost all cases things like this are multifactorial. Preterm babies that get shots too early increases the risk, meditation usage, heavy metal expose, bottle vs breastfeeding, and so on. You can't always blame autism on one single thing, as its often a combination of them.
@@jackoverton8343Agreed. I had a natural childbirth and have always maintained a heathy weight - but I didn't eat any red meat throughout my pregnancy bc I thought I wasn't supposed to.. and my daughter is autistic. For full disclosure, I am also autistic. My biggest regret is that I fed her a mostly plant-based diet with only lean meats for the first 12 years of her life until I knew better. 🥺🥺
@@mstmarieprov It's okay. Not everyone has time or is in the right state of mind to question everything all the time.

Dr. Chaffee, I had been eating carnivore for over three months. I ended up needing a pacemaker due to second degree heart block type two. My heart rate got as low as 38bpm. I didn’t take electrolytes. Not sure if this caused it. Have you heard of this happening?
Try checking your d3 levels and if it's low take a supplement that has k2. Could be a calcification issue. However, do your research first!
I have 2 kids living with Autism (one non verbal low functioning) ... And I was 52kg, 53kg when I fell pregnant My husband was super fit. We are meat eaters...and I do low carb. You are missing something guys....
Your genes are bad unfortunately
I feel for you and your husband. He did say it is a theory. A lot of what we hear about scientific evidence is actually theory. I think there is enough evidence to show that an unhealthy mitochondria leads to disease. One of my friends had twins and right after they got the MMR vaccine one of them became profoundly autistic. No signs previous to that. I think there are a number of things. By changing my diet, I healed from asthma, hay, fever, severe severe cat, allergy, and eczema. I know for fact it was the food.
Inflammation plays a huge role no matter the weight. We can seemingly have no symptoms. Every one responds differently to everything.
My husband and I have a theory that true autism is a work specialization to promote innovation and development of technology. This would mean that you can't get rid of autism through diet because it's evolutionarily advantageous for some of the population to think this way.
Please watch the documentary Spellers with reference to your non verbal son. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I cried a few times. Nothing is guaranteed but I feel compelled to make sure everyone knows about this movie.

You may have some extremely rare conditon. The best people to diagnose those are brand new doctors as theyve recently studied them. More experienced doctors forget over the years as theyre so rare they will never see a patient with it in their lifetime.
Other than trying a new doctor. Id post a lot on the subreddits carnivore,fasting,lowcarb, and so on. One armchair doctor probably have some theories and perhaps one will seem relevant to you and you can research it further.
My own peronnal experience is fasting for 3-5 days with just water cures everyhting(body produces bdnf/stem cell ect). 7 years of nerve dmg in my neck/hand gone after my fast. Just becareful and make sure its safe with whatever issues you have.
Don't given up man. You can do it. Stay strong.
If it's happened in the last 2 years, did you get the experimental injections? If yes, there's your answer, look into how best to detox from them. If not, have you tried extended fasting to help your body reset?
Have you tried consistent prolonged fasting?
Are you on carnivore? If it were me I'd try lion diet. Only fatty meat, salt and water ❤
I think you need parasite cleanse. Quit carbs as much as you can. Drink lemon water. I healed myself.
I’ve noticed Mothers of autistic children are very underweight. I think its from eating a low calorie and low healthy fat diet
And fish
GPT4: "infections can significantly increase the body’s need for carnitine due to heightened metabolic demands, the need for efficient energy production, and the role of carnitine in reducing oxidative stress and modulating inflammation. Supplementing carnitine during infections and other stress conditions can potentially support the immune system and overall energy metabolism."
All those reports of autism symptoms materializing after a you-know-what. Carnitine could be a plausible mechanism. The proverbial straw on the camel's back.
Thank you
I wrote a comment but deleted it. I don't want to come across as unkind but Chris Palmer's up talking is distracting and interferes with his presentation.
It might would be useful for him to address it. Like any other speech affect or pattern it can be corrected. It creates a sense of irritation in the listener. Not everyone, certainly but enough such that working to correct it could be professionally useful.
Unfortunately a lot of people get the wrong diagnosis. And have in fact borderline, narcissistic, sociopathic or hystrionic or psychopathy 😖. And not autism and/or adhd.
Yeah, they can have also a mix with the above. But the approach of the environment has to adapt with that, in a huge way!!!!!!
Dating scène: just run and don't take the risk which ones it could be!!!
What about heavy metal poisoning in kids? The need to detox?
Take care
This one is a subject that pisses people off because moms dont want to hear they caused it
It’s more that we are saddened beyond belief, that while following government and health guidelines of the day in good faith, that we damaged not only our own health, but that of our as yet unconceived or unborn child.
You cannot fathom the grief, guilt and regret that this new information causes. My daughter is 30 years old, non-independent ASD, and a beautiful soul, but I wouldn’t wish her childhood experiences of bullying and alienation on my worst enemy. Thank goodness her memory process allows her to completely ignore this aspect of her early life. She is however keenly aware of her own loneliness and lack of close friends, and the socialisation issues behind this.
Yes, there will be mothers and fathers (their poor health/sperm health is also a contributing factor) the world over who are becoming pissed off, angry, furious about this - but not at themselves and rightly so. We were duped by the governments and health professionals, many of whom also thought they were doing the right thing.
It is now that we need to add our voices to get the health professionals and governments to listen and take notice of the newest research. We need to get to a point where there are no conflicts of interest, and no funds received from food manufacturers, sellers or lobby groups, pharmaceutical companies, or anyone with a vested interest in keeping the general population unhealthy.
I’m a mom of an autistic teen. I don’t think I caused anything. I did not know how me taking tylonal during pregnancy recommended by my Dr. Would maybe be a cause I blame vaccines and MDs also things in the environment. Fluoride in water and soooo many other things. I know better now and I will implement changes in her diet. With a lot of pushback from family 🤦♀️
There is more evidence tying autism to older fathers than there is tying autism to mothers. But I don't blame fathers or mothers for their genes.

Mom affect about 90% of how the child will turn out
If both parents are obese and diabetic does it stay in 5 to 6 times more likely that they get an autistic kid or does it multiply past those numbers?
Sounds like it to me. However, I would say it becomes exponentially greater
Thank you very much.
Would 100% Grass Fed Bison, Bison Liver, Bison Heart be beneficial?
Can we have the links for the mentioned studies?
what if there is no obesity issue in parents??
I think poor glucose and insulin control is damaging the blood vessels and circulation long before you are told you are a diabetic or prediabetic. We end up with impeded blood flow throughout the entire system and it creates the cell danger response so the mitochondria are not functioning properly…. Or when mitochondria are operating properly the blood flow is optimum, as when you dive into all literature , it states that mitochondria produce nitric oxide, and nitric oxide increases blood flow. If we have impeded blood flow in our bodies in certain areas it we would create a sort of panicked/ un easiness in the parasympathetic nervous system. Anyways just some incomplete thoughts from someone trying to figure out what’s ailing them. It’s really interesting how much has come out and challenges the main stream media propaganda.
Here’s a weird experience, I had to all of the sudden stop caffeine as sometimes it would make me have very strange/large heart beats and also weird neurological symptoms. I was pretty desperate for a supplement for energy so I had a friend bring me back meldronium from Eastern Europe. Meldronium is a canitine synthesis blocker. It’s supposed to make to you run on glucose and have “and endless energy” well it made my heart go bananas, just like caffeine did, no medical professional can tell me why that is.
I think it’s a mitochondrial problem because of not being able to switch between fuel sources. Anyone?
My mom's heart reacts badly to caffeine as well.
Wonder if meat will get rid of Anti mitocondria Antibodies? Will it backfire or help?
I have autistic grandson and it’s twice as common in boys so it is genetic .. neither parent is obese … wish could figure it out to help them
Are you saying no fruits or vegetables at all and with meats, high quality meats, is it just beef, are pork, chicken, turkey considered meats
See Dr. Ken Berry videos.
Im 60..runway model...MD...eat what I want...just finished another graduate degree...compete in multiple athetic events...list goes on...so not sure ur factoring in genetics...
My son is 2 and 1/2. We both have genetically caused autism. He got diagnosed with level 2. He also just got results from his brain MRI, which showed incomplete hippocampal inversion, dilated perivascular spaces, and T2 hyperintensities scattered throughout the deep white matter of both hemispheres. Would it be too late for a carnivore diet to help him? He's a picky eater but I'll try anything to help him.
If you believe that carnivore is the proper diet, it sure won't hurt, can only improve his health (and yours...). Most people would at the very least improve by cutting sugar and process food. In your son's case, he would probably benefit from being pretty strick for awhile to see how he reads.
It can certainly help, and help with ongoing neuronal development because he is still very young and the brain is very plastic. It may not be able to restructure the parts of his brain that didn't develop properly in the first place, but it will in all likelihood improve the function and development of his brain from now on
@@anthonychaffeemd Thank you so much!
Autism diagnosis has changed a lot in the USA in the last 20 years. Asperger's, PPD-NOS and other disorders are all combined with autism now. So you will get more people with autism now because more disorders are called autism.
And on top of that they diagnose people with less severe presentations of autism now. So that increases the numbers as well.
Oh yeah....pass for 35 even under harsh lights and the most suspicious eyes..

Can a meat diet help with Mito dysfunction?
Many animal-based nutrients have been scientifically studied in their role to improve mitochondrial functioning. Also, it's what animal-based foods lack that helps as well, such as having little or no deuterium, propionate, gluten, antinutrients, agrochemicals, etc.

Love the informative content Doc. I have not been able to get through the first 1-2 weeks of the adaptation phase. The carb cravings are bad but that's a known enemy. I know that I just have to suck it up and grind through. The worst thing is I get extremely angry and aggressive while going through the adaptation phase. I have heard no one talking about this particular withdrawal symptom. These last few times I have stopped because I was having irrational angry outbursts at my family. Any tips or advice?
try eating more fat n protein so you aren't hungry, it is tough but worth it
I had to GREATLY increase the frequency of my workouts. As in like 100 push ups when waiting for my steak to grill😊. Do a bunch of sit-ups when your watching TV or so a set in between multiplayer matches if you game it up. It WILL make you feel more calm while giving you gains at the same time
Try adding / eating grass fed butter (1 stick) daily. It relaxes me and keeps me full.
After watching 1000's of hours of these doctors. Here's what I'd do if I was starting over. This is just my opinion, and it is not medical advice. If the reasoning applies to your situation, then use these suggestions as a starting point for additional research.
If the issue is hunger, try eating carnivore foods whenever you get hungry until you are full. I've heard this referred to as "priming" by some in this space. Your appetite will normalize after some time. Your body is trying to get nutrient deficiencies resolved. Let it do its thing. Some people even make "travel bacon" to get through this part.
If the issue is from electrolyte loss (aka the keto flu), use more salt and/or consider quality electrolyte drinks like LMNT. As you progress, you'll grow to need less salts, depending on your particular biology. Some people just seem to need more even after fully adapting.
If the issue is withdrawal from the taste of sweet (which does appear to be a real thing for some people), try using some carb free flavored water or sparkling water like la crox. Once you've transitioned, you can ween off those if you want.
Finally the last suggestion I see from some of these docs is to consider weening yourself down to keto and then carnivore over several weeks instead of jumping right in. So, your body has more time to transition.
Hopefully, you can get a real answer from a professional instead of a lay person like myself. I may watch this stuff often and read a few medical papers, but for me, it's just a hobby.
@@GnathonicGood comment!

Put links to the studys next time
They are there, and in the original video
Thx
Dr Anthony, my son is Autistic, he simply refuses to eat meat. How do I go about giving him meat when he pushes it away from me?
Supplement carnitine in his drinks
Hey Doc are u natural??
Yes, I am. Haha and I'm not that buff to begin with, so you definitely don't need to take anything special to get my physique
The most impoverished places in Africa don’t have autism. It’s not about science but God giving your child a renewed mind
My com ments are often sha-dow ban_ed, how many com^^ents have you seen me post to this thread?
Stop blaming parents with obesity is hilarious,the companies that are making the milk formula are to blame
They use artificial fats maybe
Babies needs to be breastfed. Stop giving formula to babies.
this channel is bro science 😂
Haha, the professor of psychiatry from Harvard who has published books and peer-reviewed studies on the subject is bro science? You sound smart 😂
@@anthonychaffeemd ABSOLUTLY !! 🤣 CLAIMING AUTISM COMES FROM FOOD.. anyone can put something in front of their name nowadays 😉
@@anthonychaffeemdI assumed he meant bc you're a doctor in peak physical shape, which just goes to show how rare it is. I wouldn't call Dr. Chris Palmer a "bro," altho I love it for him that he would be grouped as such bc I'm sure he'd find it amusing. 😄😄
@@mstmarieprov no , i call this whole channel out because its filled with lies .. stupid claims one after the other 😉 so its only worthy of being called a term i wouldn't even use my self : bro science 😉
