The biggest issue I have with eating this way is the derogatory social tones that everyone else vibes when I tell them I prefer to just eat meat. Everyone turns into a nutrition expert and insists on telling me I’m killing myself. At least my wife is actually a MD who supports my choices and reassures me that red meat is extremely healthy and I’m not gonna drop dead anytime soon! She was raised on a carnivore diet growing up in Kenya and has the IQ and health to prove meat is the answer!
Awesome! Sounds like an impressive woman! And anytime people say something, just chuckle and say yeah it seems weird, but that's what my wife the doctor recommends and I feel amazing. I find that the less I care about it, the less people even notice it. Just do your thing and people will just get used to it and stop bringing it up
@@anthonychaffeemd I love your perspective Dr A. You are new to me...as in THIS weekend...Dr B on the other hand...I've been following for years! I always say for the above comment, hummmm...my doctor(s) doesnt agree with you. Do you boo...My doctors...Ken B and now you! And actually I do have a fantastic MD in CO! He prescribed paleo...then Keto to me 10-15 years ago to deal with HPN that I didn't want to talk pills for💪🏾🥰 ...sooo ALL 3 of MY physicians...KNOW THE DEAL!
I can totally agree when I get in " discussions " with others. Most times I just tell them I'm low carb because I'm diabetic. My family surpringly tells me when carbs are present because they see how much healthier I am eating this way. When I go to family dinners, I now scrambled eggs before I go so I'm not so hungry. Wish I had a supportive spouse.
My Dr. got very angry with me when I questioned him after diagnosing me with spinal arthritis and saying I would need 2-4 Vicodin pills every day for the rest of my life. I went on the vicodin for years b/c I was in so much pain, then after 3-4 years he told me he could no longer prescribe my vicodin and I would now need a TEAM to support my pain needs. What a nightmare I have been through. Fast forward to now: Started eating meat, water, salt.....I am stronger and pain free. Thank you so much for getting the word out.
Un real amazing . My mom had to deal with the change and sent to the pain clinic for her pain meds . So hard for her . She had cancer tho besides a spine issue . She passed but we’d try this if she were here
Just saw your post after listening to this podcast, very interested to know if you are still carnivore and pain free. I have arthritis in my spine thinking of making the change to carnivore.
Thanks for your reply, I've been eating a high raw diet which has helped tremendously but not with the arthritis hopefully carnivore is the a answer. Thankyou
I’m an 80 year old woman and when I was obese seven years ago I lost 23 kg (50 pounds) with Weight Watchers. It took me a year, and it was a year of white knuckling it and feeling hungry all the time. Then I came across low carb and lost another 10 pounds in a month! Now I’m carnivore and won’t ever go back.
What an encouraging message you shared about your age and your health accomplishments even at age 80. Thank you for sharing. I'm 65 and started seriously at age 64 especially after losing my mom who succumbed to dementia. In one year of ketovore I'm now down 90 and counting. This is after a lifetime of Pre-diabetic co-mobidities. I'm currently leaning in my food regiment towards carnivore along with already 1 and 2 meals a day. Kudos to you and keep on keeping on with continued good health to you.
I looked at my wife’s weight watchers plan years ago and they actually encouraged animal crackers over a similar serving of nuts. I knew she wouldn’t lose much on it when it didn’t restrict carbs at all. I recently went keto and she now just eats low carb/high fat with me. She’s down to her lowest weight in 20 years without even trying. Amazing what more fat does to help a woman lose weight (even without ketosis). She had really struggled to lose weight before with lots of exercise and effort. I mention that my diet helped and she’s just like shut up 😂.
I agree with you. I am 75. And I have lost 65 pounds. And I have also lost the exzema. And arthritis and diabetes. And I love it. I won’t go back either
Truth! My IBS gone! Psoriasis, brain fog, mood swings, constant nausea and headaches gone. 150 lbs, gone. All the years of putting myself down, going away. Energy, happines, mental clarity and better health gained. Thank you for saying it how it is!
I am 79 years young...I remember going to the grocery store with my grandmother back in the late 1940's ....the store was about the size of a two car garage. Yup....and it had everything she needed to buy foodwise. And there were NO obese nor fat humans walking around then either. That just shows us what has become of the food system.
We were always outside playing and didn't have cellphones or tablets to play games. Fatty liver disease is effecting kids now to age of 10 how sad. Thank you mickey ds and door dash
I was vegetarian on and off for decades and vegan for the past 7 years. I couldn’t lose weight to save myself and my RA and asthma getting worse and worse. This past July I blew out my knee trying to walk the weight off. My son introduced me to carnivore and Dr. Berry’s videos. Fast forward 3 1/2 months and I’ve lost 20 pounds, off both asthma meds, plus inflammation and pain gone. I absolutely have no sugar or carb cravings, and I’ve stopped drinking wine. I never thought I could kick my food (and alcohol) addiction. Bless you two doctors for the good work you do.
How would you approach a vegetarian (who is one for ethical reasons) in order to help them see the malnutrition and disease causing diet they consume? I just care about their health and they look just like every skinny sickly vegetarian but they are resolute in their choice to not eat meat.
@@pamlemm903 My son asked me a question that required me to really stop and assess my diet. He asked, “How is your health doing on this diet?” No judgment…just a question. I had to answer honestly by saying, “Not so hot.” Then he told me that he would share what he had learned in his research when I was ready. Trust me…I was ready!
Houston ER nurse here, and because of you doctors, from now on, all my patients that come with UC flares or any IBS symptoms, I'll be like "hey have you looked in to the carnivore diet to possibly resolve every singe one of your symptoms??" :D even though carnivore diet could get our entire ER empty, ill start with the GI patients first 👍🏼
I am a 60 yr old woman, hypothyroidism, HBP, sugar addict, but I started the carnivore last Monday, and not even a week in, after quitting all sugar, and 100% carnivore, I feel better these last few days than I have my entire life!! I had arthritis very bad in my hands, and knees, and was in constant pain. My pain has been cut in HALF!! I can get up from the chair wihout it hurting now, my hands are almost 90% pain free. I am feeling so much better! I can't wait to see my next A1C numbers in March 2024. With what I minitor, my BP, and my glucose, they are coming down. Today my glucose was only 95, and I was ecstatic because it stayed at an average of 146. And I wasn't a bad eater, my downfall was coffee with LOTS of cream and sugar. But I quit the sugar cold turkey, and went through withdrawals for about three days, mostly a busting headache, but I am doing fine now, AND drinking coffee (1cup per day) with nothing added!! I am so proud of myself. I wish I done this years ago.
THIS is the interview that every single sick person (physically OR mentally) should hear. Dr Berry was in rare form. Confident, funny, approachable, relatable, believable and just a touch of kick in the ass. Man, I LOVED this! Thanks, docs!
@@anthonychaffeemd Hey Anthony. I recently subscribed to your channel after watching your interview with Andy Kaufman. I wonder if you have ever addressed the issue of "sustaniability" of a carnivore diet for the world's population. Is it possible to grow that much meat?
In 2020 I had a stroke and had carotid artery surgery. I listened to my doctor and ate my vegetables and only chicken. I gained weight. Went on statins also. I not only gained weight but had intense pain in my right arm and lost some use of my right hand that I had surgery on years ago for ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel. My blood panel never improved. I stopped statins but continued to eat as they said I should. I went through the stress testing and other tests and did very well. My last blood panel was worse and my calcium level went way up. I found Dr Berry and other doctors talking about the carnivore diet. Decided September 16 to try the carnivore diet. Arm pain gone, energy levels are up. I’ve lost 17 pounds down from 157 to o 140. I’m not napping the afternoon away and now accomplishing things I need to do. I feel so much better. Am excited to get my blood panel done in December. I’m 76 years old and terrified of having another stroke.
@@madusimo1 last blood panel was a bit improved. Will be getting another in a couple of weeks and I expect a much improved one. Also have lost 26 pounds. I can let you know in a few weeks about blood panel
Beware…on carnivore your lipid panel will most likely result in you getting you having a screaming match a your dr appt, which I had today! My hdl, triglycerides are perfect but ldl and cholesterol were “horrible and I need a statin”-though I’ve lost 40 lbs in 7mo and I’m 88% in range as a typ1 diabetic. 🫢…talking to a dr who is overweight and type 2 diabetic.
This will be Epic!! Dr Berry has been proclaimed top educator for the PHD and Dr Chaffee is living proof of what 100% Carnivore diet can achieve. Solid Gold!!
@@carnivoredietmike6078 We are very lucky to have 2 such doctors willing to swim against the current at their own professional peril. Add Dr. Baker to that list too.
Thank you for all your videos...I am 76 years old and for most of my adult life I tried to steer away from red meat especially. Went for seven years without any beef...then many more years vegetarian and then fruitarian and I was never feeling well, never had energy. Now I have been for three years about 95% Carnivore, and for the future I am going for eating only beef and lamb, with Redmond's salt. I am feeling very good now and so much more energy. I feel as if I am only 45 instead of nearing 77 years old.
It's nice to hear that there are other young women my age on Carnivore. I'm 75 years young. I'm a newbie. I just started 6 weeks ago. The human body is so brilliantly designed. I'm so looking forward to seeing how my body responds. Shopping is easier and meals are easier and I'm settling into OMAD, so keeping my kitchen is easier too. And I dropped 6 lbs so my clothes fit easier.
@@susancastner7332 Great to hear Susan... I just get more and more strict with the Carnivore because I feel so much better... I will be 78 in October...
Exactly, Dr. Berry! As my daughter would say "facts". I stopped going to my family practitioner because when I mentioned that I needed to lose weight (I was around 220 lbs at the time, but got to 253 and said enough was enough...) he told me that I didn't need to lose any weight because I wasn't diabetic, no cholesterol or heart issues, and no IBS. At that moment, I was like "Why am I asking him, when he is about 70 pounds overweight, at least" So I stopped going to him, I still haven't found a Doctor, but am looking for one. Since leaving, I have dropped 100 pounds and feel healthy and feel good about my weight.
Unless you want to fund big pharma, then u don't even need a doctor cause that's all they offer cause that's all they are trained in. Check out carnivore diet and find good health.
To see Dr Chaffee literally taking notes during this is so refreshing. He obviously takes this sh!t seriously. And that should say and mean everything about the information he’s putting out. Really, REALLY appreciate this dude.
Taking notes helps brain learn and retain information even if never re read the notes. Its interesting how this happens, but listening looking and writing is the best way to learn. Dr.Anthony is real deal. As is Dr.Berry. except nobody stocks his books here in Australia they say its American but we have heaps of American things here. Seems a taboo topic still this carnivore lifestyle of health
Fr me the carb withdrawal was really bad!! My diet was terrible with a lot of sweet soda and garbage! I was dying,morbidly obese,and barely walking with a cane! I’ve been keto for 9 months and have lost about half the weight I need to lose! I’m walking fine ( no limp) with no knee pain! Haven’t had gout in 13 months after having 3-5 flares per year! Anyway I had to stop the carbs in steps! It was impossible to cut them all at first,I would not have been able to work! I started off using a spoon of peanut butter Several times a day then I went to keto yogurt and weaned myself off of it! The carb withdrawal is a battle! It’s hard! And it’s definitely worth it! I’m not even close to my goal weight but feel so so much better and have a lot of energy and drive! Dr. Berry changed and probably saved my life and I look forward to shaking his hand one day! If you are considering making these changes then GO FOR IT! You will feel better than words can say! Oh and by the way, you can actually get full when eating real foods! When eating processed sugary foods you stay hungry 24/7
I love the both of you. And I love how both of you say "Simple eat meat until satisfied". People keep wanting to make it hard. Even grocery shopping is simple. I love going to the grocery store and walk past all those products right to the back and pick out my food. No matter what anyone says it's cheaper to eat this way that the SAD way. And it take less than 10 minutes to cook the meat. And I done. My trash can is not as full due to no boxes and cans. For those that think it's too expensive just take a receipt and add up the vegetables, rice, cereal, condiments and see by not buying them how much you save
Good advice! So much veg goes bad. And fruit! It feels more expensive to begin, per package, but per meal, as you eat less over time (as in you're more satisfied with the nutrient dense foods), it becomes very economical.
Both doctors are light-years ahead of most dieticians and GI medical specialists. It never ceases to astound me how much I learn on this topic. Forever grateful for all you do, gentlemen.
I think l've finally hit a struggle with carnivore. I've been doing it religiously for 4 months and ended up in the ER with afib. I eat nothing but red meat and I know that doc is going to tell me to lay off red meat. The problem is I don't have any definitive evidence other than Shawn and Anthony and a few other UA-camrs saying it's good for you. Does anyone have any good resources I can read that are unbiased?
You’re correct. With ppl waking up hopefully it will be faster. We’ve been lied to for so long and pharma has never had our best interests in mind. The doctors make money from their indoctrination and will have to go back to basics.
I ve been starving myself for 54 years.😂 I would starve myself everyday, rather than be obese! I now, thanks to all you do, would gladly eat meat and eggs for the rest of my life. You have amazing content, and and am very thankful you take the time. I want my family to be as healthy as they can be!!! I order my beef half a cow at a time!
Since learning from Dr Chaffee, I've gone from fit to ridiculous fit. I combine carnivore and fasting and have trained my body to look for stored fat when I exercise every morning 16 hours into fasting. I've not even been sore since I began this , no matter how hard I run and play tennis and lift. After decades of working out and still having a bit of "padding" I am ripped... thank you for explaining just why Plants are Trying to Kill us! AND... I dropped Statins and all other meds.. a year ago.
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing that, and I'm really glad I could help in some way! Haha, and yeah the never getting sore thing is amazing. People really have a hard time believing that one unless they do it themselves
@mloukhia And having all the essential nutrients your body needs to recover. Since the New Year, I have come back to training after too many years away. I did have some DOMS at first, but so little that I thought I wasn't training hard enough. I was wrong because my diet is ideal for recovery.
@mloukhia there are inflammatory factors in plants that cause you to be much more sore and experience more pain than you would otherwise. While my muscles are healing, they do not pain me. But if I eat plants or drink coffee, they do. Same with back pain and injuries: they will hurt far worse when eating plants or drinking coffee
@@anthonychaffeemd My vice, if you will, is still coffee. I'm fine not having plants and haven't eaten fruit for a few years now, but I'm willing to give up coffee if it will help with my tendonitis and recovery pain after my workouts. It will be "fun" trying to wean myself off of it. Thanks for the video!
@@thomasjohnson6808not necessarily. Dr Anthony Chaffee has several podcasts and also debates with people who don't agree with his views. He's always respectful and is an excellent listener. He's also very good at citing specific evidence to back up the facts he discusses.
Dr. Ken is as down-home as f--! I love the guy for never losing sight of the basics: Millions of people have been hurt badly by official nutrition advice and they need the straight story in order to turn their health around. Dr. Chaffee has impressed me because he’s living proof of what a proper human diet can do when combined with a few lifestyle fundamentals.
Since switching to carnivore on January 1st/23 I’ve noticed huge changes in my ability to feel my body fat. Before I started I knew I was fat, but wasn’t able to feel where the fat ended and the muscle began, now it seems like I can feel my body underneath a fat suit. And the fat suit is shrinking at an alarming rate, but I feel great. Thanks doctors for being my inspiration for the last year.
@@Finn959 April I quit smoking…bit of a rollercoaster life since then. Haven’t been doing carnivore because of lifestyle changes…. Trying to stabilize my life again.
@@Finn959 update, day 4 carnivore today. Will post videos/pics to my channel over time, I have no video editing skills and limited time as I also work too much but I hope to improve my health and add to the community somehow.
Exactly 💯 thanks DrBerry. The gym is lifting and bending. All the same things i do as a mum all day at home. Add in there walking and fun in the sun with family either bike riding or swimming or playing in the park. But making beds, doing dishers, lifting heavy food ahopping bags and lifting young children is all exercise.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis several years ago, thyroid antibodies were over 2,500. Started with autoimmune protocol diet, turned paleo, then keto, now carnivore...antibodies recently checked at 152.
Forks Over Knives got me. It was a HUGE push. And now plant-based diet is MASSIVE because they've tied it to saving the planet. I'm just starting Keto/Carnivore - coming off the sugar/fat combo. Wish me luck!
Im going carnivore (day 4) because I can’t stand how I feel. I’m 40 pounds overweight. I developed floaters in my eyes. I have high BP. Sleep apnea. Diverticulitis and irritable bowel. I go to the bathroom 3-4 times after eating. 6 yrs ago before I got injured and could work I was on zero meds. I was thin and athletic all my life. Into my 60’s. Then came 2 hospital visits. A gym injury. Disability. Depression. Pills. Heart attack. Omg. I hiked 800 km through northern Spain at 59! Now I’m 69 and a total mess. Either I lay down and just die in pain or I get up and fight. I decided to fight. I’ve lost 10 pounds in the past 6 weeks and 4 days ago decided to go carnivore. My cardiologist is an idiot. So is my primary. U get to a point where u realize no one cares except you. You need to fix you. I believe that in 4-6 months I’ll be cured of everything. I already fixed the IBS in 4 days. Today I haven’t had to run to the bathroom 3-4 times to poop. You said that I could get carnivore diarrhea for a couple weeks. Joe Rogan had that problem. That’s fine because I already had that issue for 4 yrs. So far my intestines feel better than they have in years. Thanks doctors. I could only do carnivore because I’m desperate. Desperate people will try anything.
Good on yeah! Check in after the month Itd be great news to announce I’m sure. 5 yr carnivore after 45 yr vegetarian and 22 yrs of AS arthritis pain’s & brain fog I’ve outgrown it all. But my Naturopath has worked for 2+ yrs on liver, spleen, small intestines which I needed badly; also found mold & mercury with in me! Using a German Vega energy reading tool for immediate accurate readings on what’s not working well, sensitivity’s, & what of her product fits my body’s need. It’s amazing, immediate without blood letting 😂 & includes my chakra energy’s read too! All the best darling. You’ll be growing well & younger soon. ❤❤❤
I have been carnivore for 10 months. I have lost about 60 pounds. I keep having flare ups with diverticulitis. Then comes fasting on clear liquids, bleeding internally, and augmenten mixed with amoxicillin 3X a day. I had an extensive CT scan that the doctor didn’t even look at with contrast and the stuff you drink to make you glow. Now they say no colonoscopy until November. I waited over to months to get to a rude nurse who could care less and was totally unprepared for my visit. I guess my question is will I heal up on carnivore And should I mess with this clinic anymore. Her parting shot was well you may have cancer, but you want to stay on your carnivore diet that is your decision,
Thank you both for sharing this information! I was searching for help in February 2022 after turning 56. I was T2diabetic, high blood pressure, long hauler Covid for over 1 year, anxiety and depression, and chronic inflammation with joint pain. I had recently lost an older brother to complications of T2diabetes, lost 3 other family members to complications of diabetes and both parents to metabolic disease. I was getting sicker and going on more medications each year. I felt like I might die younger than my brother and parents. I came across an interview with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, read his book Why We Get Sick (actually listened on Audible) and came home the same day and cleaned out my fridge and pantry, went to the grocery store and started a meat heavy Keto life style the very next day. I didn't quite know what I was doing so the first few weeks were a bit rough but I was determined. Within 6 weeks I had reversed my T2diabetes - no more meds, had lowered my blood pressure - off 1 of 2 meds, anxiety and my long hauler Covid and inflammation - gone! I couldn't believe how quickly it happened and I felt amazing and so mentally clear, sharp! I hadn't had this kind of energy in decades! I have since gone Carnivore for more healing and because I just feel so good eating this way. I"m down 30 lbs, off 5 prescription medications, sleeping better, feel great every day, eat zero fiber and feel better than ever! I work in a large warehouse environment and have coworkers I don't even know coming up to ask me what I'm doing. I bought several copies of Dr. Bikman's book and have been passing them around! I have family and friends who follow me online messaging me and I'm sending them an email with basic info and pdf's so they can start their own healthcare revolution in their lives, starting with an experiment of one as I did. I share Dr. Berry's videos with everyone and am a Patreon member supporting the work he does. I listen toDr. Chaffee's podcast and follow him online. Not quite telling everyone about Carnivore yet as this is very new for me (started June 1st) but Keto is a perfect place to start! I know I feel like I'm aging in reverse - I look and feel younger! I have more weight to lose but my focus is on my health. I heard a great quote recently, "Weight loss is a side effect of wellness." My own mantra is now, "T2diabetes isn't in your genes, it's in your pantry."
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering how the people react when you explain them what you are doing, because I don’t feel confident enough to tell people about carnivore at the moment, I hope that eventually when I feel better I will be able to do it .
@@mab5349 no need to tell anyone until you're ready. I've only told a few family members (only went Carnivore June 1st, was meat heavy Keto before that, started mid-February). I'm telling everyone about Keto because I think that's an easier sell and a good place to start. Carnivore may not be for everyone. Again, only share what you are comfortable with.
Good point regards sharing the keto diet concept. Except for me I'm such an open book I struggle to keep anything to myself so been telling everyone regardless..I guess I have forgotten how new a concept it I to most as I'm so into it now.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Chafee for bringing up addiction of food/carbs/sugar and how for many of us, eating bits of our addictive foods, starts the cycle of addiction over and over again. I heard someone say (can’t remember who it was): “I’m better at restricting than I am at moderating.” I am 55 yrs old and I have finally found a calm, quiet space within myself thru the carnivore diet. It’s almost hard to explain the peace I now feel. Keep up the good work. We’re listening. Love you guys!
I had a Rheumatologist who strongly opposed me trying keto, but at my next appointment he apologized to me for how he reacted previously and had done his own research on keto and saw promise in it. My dad is a nurse and I am an EMT with a bachelor's in livestock nutrition so I try to research everything before I make a decision about my health.
Now that doctor is a keeper! Respects an intelligent patient enough to look into what YOU brought up, changes his mind as data demands, and has thw confidence/humility (two sides of the same coin) to admit when wrong. Beautiful.
I will say this, Dr Ken Berry is the Real Deal of a M.D. and he cares for People . He used to be my cousin M.D. for several years. I been following Dr. Ken Berry for the last 5 years here on UA-cam. We need a bunch of Dr. Ken Berry throughout The U.S.A. and especially in my region. Because Specialists in this region doesn't care about you ( I am not speaking about all ) , but many of them. At this point, I only have 2 Specialists who care about my health ( real persons ).
Love this! In 2009 I started at 300 lbs and on 5 meds for over 25 years and I fired my fat doctor because he didn’t practice what he preached! Started with paleo and lost 125#’s and maintaining it today now on carnivore. I’m 58 and I’ve not taken meds or supplements since then and survived the vidrona w/o axine as well ♥️ screw the med community and pharma, I have insurance cuz I’m forced to 🤦🏼♀️
Yesterday, I took my 14 daughter and her friend, to the beach. We instantly started throwing the football. After about 20 minutes, the girls got tired and decided to go into the water. I was left throwing the football into the air. 5 minutes of that and a stranger motioned to me, "I'm Open!". I threw it. Next thing I know, I and 5 strangers are engaged in football follies. This lasted well over an hour. Until they ALL got tired. By then, the girls were out of the water. We started up again. I quit because I had developed a blister on my bare foot. Not because I was tired. I was out performing everyone. Those strangers were average age of low 20's and I'll be 57 next month. Less than 10% body fat by DEXA scan. I race dirt bikes, surf, bike, fish and more. At the gym, I perform sets of 5 weighted dips with 3x45 plates. ZERO CARBS!
Ken Berry is a beast. I like listening to Doctor’s who are willing to keep learning and go against the “protocols” on outdated “science”. Since going carnivore I’ve never felt so good. Liver function tests all went down. Blood pressure went down. Ain’t no way there is no connection.
@@anthonychaffeemd He definitely is and so are you lol, two UA-cam doctors I’ll listen to for sure. Yes I feel lots of old school doctors get there PHDs and all that and then sit on their ass and don’t care to learn other than what pharma reps come to the clinics with. Push pills rather than find some preventative ways. Thanks for caring about humans hha
Just last week I thought this was the episode I wanted to see. After vowing to never do elimination diets again after I wrecked my health trying veganism, Dr Berry's videos gave me the encouragement to try keto. I improved some, but then slowly found I was going towards carnivore. Your videos, as well as ones from Kelly Hogan, helped me decide it was the best decision for me. I'm 48, I've had IBS since I was 10, Crohn's since I was 29. The past 3 months are the first in my life I remember being pain free, and in full control of my bowel, especially since my bowel reconstruction (several feet of necrotic intestine.)
I'm so glad youre feeling better! I went 100% strict plant-based for 14 months with the hope for healing. It just made me more sick. I was WORSE than when I started. Just a few weeks on carnivore and I feel like a new person. Everything is reversing. It really is amazing!
@@TeresaO-PHD-Coach same thing, but only 12 months for me. I developed edema in my hands and feet, and high blood pressure (which the only other time I've had high BP was when they cut my intestines out.)
@@mikelindsey6407 My blood pressure went up as well and I had swelling in just my feet and ankles. I developed joint pain and it would hurt to climb stairs and I sounded like rice krispies going down the stairs, bad depression, and the icing on the cake is now I have ZERO libido which means the plant-based diet screwed my thyroid. I could go on and on but I'm done giving that plant diet even one more minute of my energy. So if anyone reading this is thinking of going plant-based, do your research first and don't believe those plant documentaries you see! I wanted desperately to heal and it will never work. Listen to Dr. Chaffee and Dr. Berry. Best thing I ever did :)
Hi Dr. Chaffee. I got a food dehydrator and tried your recipe of ribeye beef jerky with just sea salt. I didn’t marinate it and just put right in the dehydrator on 165 degrees for about 3 hours. I didn’t do a big chunk, I cut it into strips. It was wonderful! A little more oily than the packaged kind due to the extra fat content of the meat, but it was delicious. My kids loved it too and asked for it to be packed in their lunchboxes. I’m so happy I found your recipe because this will make travel and work and school so much easier! 😊
It makes sense to me that eating roughage in the forms of vegetables, fruits, grains etc. with the accompanying fecal waste causes unnecessary wear and tear on my intestines and now being carnivore for almost 2 years, my lifelong constipation is gone. My intestinal pain is gone. My 30 year autoimmune disease is quiescent. I just wish I knew this before age 63.
I agree with you and I’m in the same place as you as I’m 64. I have been trying to figure this out for 30 years. Dr JordanPeterson and his daughter Mikhala were how I found out about the carnivore diet. Good luck.
Well I'm glad you all found it when you did anyway! Now we just have to get the message out to the rest of the autoimmune community, as autoimmune diseases, all autoimmune diseases, just melt away on a Carnivore diet
My favorite doctors! I learned from Dr. Berry to eat meat and from Dr. Chaffee to quit coffee and sugar. I feel better, stronger and healthier than ever in my 50 years of life. Thank you for your great work!
I’m a thin, healthy 55. I have joked many times in my life about being carnivore. I really only like meat and the occasional vegetable or fruit. I believe it has helped me stay healthy enough to recover from serious injuries. I feel like I’m still in my 30s.
I agree with the sentiments entirely. I did carnivore for 9 months during the pandemic in 2020 and had tremendous results, fixing mental health, sleep and skin issues in addition to getting to a healthy body weight. I was following the guidelines of prominent advocates of the carnivore lifestyle online. Then Dr Saladino began to promote honey and the occasional portion of fruit. I like sweet things, and the justification seemed sound so I began incorporating a small amount of honey, which turned into a large amount of honey, then honey and fruit, then honey fruit and vegetables, then at some point I found myself eating pizza and all the other junk and getting overweight and sick again. Then for the next 3 years I tried to go back to just meat several times and was not able to last more than a couple of days. I eventually found myself more overweight and more unwell than ever before. I started carnivore month again this year, with a much more disciplined approach, much more strict and I feel like I’m beginning to overcome my food addictions again. Dr Saladino’s approach was all the justification I needed to slip off the wagon last time, and this time I am not going down that road.
I love Dr. Berry! He talks real, breaks everything down easily, and makes me LOL! My whole life has changed for the better since I found him 7 weeks ago.
@@nathanklein4538 yes. It'll be 9 months tomorrow. I'm completely healed and down 90#. I dont ever see myself going back. I have better energy than I did in my 20s. Meat heals ♡
I am a retired dietitian who LOVES your advice. Have believed what you say for a while. Living on acreage is also a marvelous way of getting great exercise
Im a medical assistant and i work in a doctors office and I have lost almost 50 pounds on keto mostly carnivore and one of the doctors has been harassing me about the way I eat. So I finally told her to back off because this is my own body and this has changed my life. She won’t even speak to me and it hurts my feelings but she doesn’t even try to do the research. Yet the other doctor in my office tells me to tell certain pt all about my way of eating!
You will get backlash from the medical community. Just "soldier on". They have been inundated with misinformation and you will not change their minds. It shouldn't be up to them and with the lack of nutritional information they receive and with most of it being wrong, she will continue to believe the status quo. Don't even think of trying to change her mind. She be respectful of her in the way you tell her.
It’s amazing how tenacious these old, outdated, crappily researched beliefs are. The big orgs are to blame-AHA, ADA, FDA, etc. The food pyramid was based on purposely misinterpreted research findings.
I’ve only been carnivore for about two months and I’m already 12 pounds down. I am a very healthy 59-year-old super happy with my life and the way I feel and look. My husband decided to try something different and I thought I would give it a go just for fun and oh my word I cannot believe the continued results so thankful thank you gentlemen.
Two great minds and MDs coming together to offer real help to people. Dr. Berry using medical terminology and words like ginormous in the same sentence always makes me smile.
I'm sitting here, catching up on videos. I'm in ketosis almost a week. Been full (99%) carnivore for a little over a week. Thanks to both of you. I'm down 15 lbs. I figure that about 10 of that is water, but I'm taking the win. First time I've been south of 300 lbs in over two years. Had a vertical sleeve about 12 years ago and it worked for a while but the weight came back. I'm optimistic about carnivore, much more so than Keto. I always had carb cravings on Keto but I haven't had a single one on carnivore. Onward to get rid of Insulin Resistance (47.7 fasting) and a fatty liver. Thanks guys. I'm 64, BTW.
Don't discount water loss. It's very important. Especially when you learn that with one molecule of sugar there is 3 water molecules attached to it. After the body has dealt with the sugar it does nothing with those water molecules. They just hang around and accumulate. BUT now you have removed that water.....finally😁👍
Former Crohn's sufferer here. Dr Berry's reach and ability to simplify things is great and has helped a lot of people, and Dr Chaffee's specific knowledge and experience is a godsend. Great podcast, thank you for what you two bring to humanity.
I am a 78-year-old male; when I was 54, I cured my ulcerative colitis by going on an Atkins carnivorish diet. It doesn't happen instantly, but give it 90 to 180 days, and it will be gone or significantly improved. My case was so severe that it took about 6 to 8 months before it was gone. My doctor was angry with me and dropped me as a patient because I refused to take his medication 22 years ago, and I have not had a problem. The only thing I have changed is increased good, healthy fats and Protein. About 70% fat and 30% protein. Also, my gout, which I have suffered from since I was in my mid-30s, is not better; it's gone. That didn't happen until I changed the ratio of fat to Protein. Much of what I thought was gout was plantar fasciitis, and once the veteran's hospital got me the proper inserts for my shoes, 90% of what I thought was gout disappeared; the other 10%, I believe, was caused by things like high fructose corn syrup. It doesn't take much! Dr. Chafee and Dr. Berry, one of your best talks, explains what I have done wrong over the years.
Thank you both of my favourite Doc's! My husband and I started carnivore, February last year, after one of our sons lost 55kg on carnivore. I've lost 12kg and hubby lost 15kg and we've never felt better. Sandra. Perth, Western Australia.💞🇦🇺
I was listening to this video while doing some housework. After, I put on the tv to watch a movie. And when you learn about food this way, it was shocking how many commercials are thrown at you for foods full of junk! I never realized before. Not one commercial about any healthy foods at all. We are so conditioned.
I was already convinced after seeing just a 60 second short from you Dr. Anthony, but I can't stop watching all of this content. It's so reassuring and just as addicting as eating steak twice a day
Can't get enough of either one of these gentlemen. Kudos to you both!!! So nice to see that someone in your field has the balls to step up in the face of the "assembly line" called medicine. I have been an avid fitness freak for 35 years and was never ever successful at closing in on a diet that I was successful at. Then I watched Dr. Berry on UA-cam and that led to watching Dr. Chaffee also on UA-cam, and then I said F$%^ it!!! I'm going to give this a shot. At 52 years of age at 6'3" and 294 lbs, I embarked on the Carnivore Journey. As of today, It's been almost 3 and a half months. I'm now at 268 lbs and I've literally lost no muscle mass!! I feel like I could run through a wall, I don't get sore and I train hard I have an energy surplus that makes me feel like I'm in my thirties again and my joints feel amazing. Thanks for sharing guys. Keep the message moving forward and keep helping people in your own way. Much love
The two titans leading the way to health and happiness. Thank you both! I’m in day 30 of carnivore and the severe pain I suffered in multiple joints is GONE! As is 25 lbs.
I love both Dr Chaffey and Dr Berry they have really educated me and gave me the courage to go into my doctors with guns blazing pun intended here. My A1C in February was 7.9 I followed Dr Berry's advice combined with Dr Chaffee decided to do ketogenic diet bordering on carnivore I just got my latest A1C results on July 18th. My A1c is 5.2! Endocrinologist was amazed she suggested that I go off the Lantus and novolog is that's when I told her I've been off it for months. She looked at my lipid panel she was amazed that everything was perfect my urinalysis panel I had an intensive urinalysis panel everything perfect and get this I lost 44 lb since February. I had a stroke in 2015 which left my right side effected of course it's better I have been working hard and I'm able to walk and drive and do all that good stuff but the most important thing for me is that I go to the aqua therapy pool at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center and swim 2 hours a day in the sunshine. In February when I had that last blood test I was depleted in vitamin D3 started swimming and spending more time in The Sunny Side of the pool without sunblock and now I have great vitamin D3 levels. Thank you to both doctors. Oh one last thing I had an insatiable sweet tooth in fact when I started to go ketogenic I bought all these alternative sweeteners like erythritol and a l l u l o s e almond flour coconut flour all these things to make sweet treats. It's cleaning out my freezer and I noticed I had a whole pan of ketogenic brownies in there I forgot all about them because I have no sweet Cravings anymore. I haven't touched the a l l u l o s e or the erythritol they were hidden in the back of my pantry I forgot about them as well. That wasn't the conscious decision it just was my body deciding for me what I needed and it wasn't anything sweet tasting
7 months into carnivore zero carb (besides what's in cheese). LIFE CHANGING. I believe I've finally adapted, now no longer need to eat more than twice a day. And not craving anything.
You two are great carnivore doctors! I appreciate both of you getting the word out about the carnivore way of eating! I was 2+ low carb and heard Dr Berry talking about carnivore for months. I thought he was nuts! He mentioned Kelly Hogan and I researched her and decided to jump in! 2+ years later in still here and loving how I feel. I'm 62 and I'm not going back to the SAD! THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU!
Bachelor of sports medicine, NASM Trainer and nutrition specialist here. You guys are blowing my mind. There is still so much I need to learn. Thank you for the work you gentlemen are doing. I hit a rough patch and ironically I work for Mondelez😂 stocking wheat thins as I comment 😞😞
I myself am living proof that this way of eating works and have come off of every medication that I used to take 6-7 of them by changing the way I eat and Dr. Berry, no worries because you are what keeps me accountable for staying on point with my diet and lost 79 lbs in the process which I couldn’t do with anything else I tried, I never get tired of your videos and find that when I rewatch some that I’ve watched I pick up on something I missed the first time around keep it strong cause you are my motivation, thank you for all you do…
Been on the all meat diet for a week now. I can feel my body change going through withdrawals from carbs and sugar. I'm sleeping better. The pain that I had in my neck and knee for years are almost gone. I was very nervous about doing this at first because of the stigma attached to meat and heart disease. But so far I feel great and already shed a few pounds in one week. I worked out yesterday for the first time in years thinking that I would wake up tired and sore but nothing.
Big fan of Dr. Berry, with whom the I consulted years ago back when he was practicing. He was a great help. I’ve been to several of his events here in the South of the USA and he’s helping people to overcome the ravages of metabolic diseases. And the word is spreading from family member to family member. Destinies are changing. ❤
@@anthonychaffeemd I want to thank you personally, it's a long story but the short version - I'm 65, I found the 5 and 2 diet about 10 years ago, saved me from metabolic syndrome (had gout etc) found keto and wheat belly (william davis) about 3 years ago (fixed eczema and arthritis) and found you just over a month ago. Been 95% carnivore for last month and never felt better ( much to wife's chagrin - I'm too extreme) - what's amazing is I live in Perth and hadn't heard of you.
These two doctors are my heroes! You saved my life and I know I’m not the only one. So excited to watch this video. Thank you for your tireless work and educating us on the true human diet.
Great interview! I just love listening to Dr Berry talk... and swear lol! His disdain for charlatans speaks volumes about the sincerity of his mission. I'm so very glad that you both pledged to "never shut-up"! You're both changing lives daily for the better! 🥰
So do I explanation point Dr Barry is awesome it was truly a pleasure to speak with him. And thank you very much! I certainly hope that what I'm doing is helping people anyway.
My Fasting + Carnivore diet experiences: Yesterday i just got back from my optometrist who confirmed that over the past 8 weeks, my lens prescription has gone from: Left-+1.5 Right +2.75 back down to Left-+0.5 Right 0.0 Been wearing glasses for 9+ years. In this time, I water-only fasted 5 days just before Xmas, then water-only fasted 16 days just after New years, then straight into Carnivore for a week (with some vegetables) zero carb, then dropping veg. and doing 100% Meat, eggs and animal fats only since.. I'm stronger everyday. Have lost 10+ kgs of fat (and keptit off) That's my results so far, and appears benefits continue to rollin... am up for meeting via call or video to discuss... thanks so much for setting me off on this journey! I've been watching all your videos
Carnivore diet was hard for me to start and stick to. It's been 2 months now and my body and appetite is finally used to it and Im now just eating the basic meat (beef), water, eggs and butter is natural. Also, eating really basic is helping with my inflammation problems, my autoimmune issues and skin issues etc. I reiterate that it has been really hard overcoming carbs and cravings but having little successes here and there and not giving in lead to bigger successes and also through perseverance I can finally say I am now a full blown carnivore eater and so happy. My skin is getting better and I don't have the flare ups in my skin like I used to. I sleep really well. I think more clearly and I have more energy. Thank you for all those that go against the grain and teach and preach the carnivore diet because it is working so well for me, I just wish I had heard about it sooner in my life.
I had so much energy at the beginning I could hardly sleep. It evened out snoring quit. Then I got sick 14 days is real. Stayed on it subsided in a day. Then it really began. So much healing! Yes I still have a couple vices that need to go. I will address once I’m not a newbie to this way of life. Loving it evidently I must have become depressed on the other diet. I used to love sing and dancing around the house. It took over me on Saturday I suddenly realized this and the fact I must have been depressed. So happy getting excited on what’s to come. Loving life 🎉
I'm so glad I found both you guys and Dr shawn Baker to you guys have changed my life forever im 36 years old grew up on the typical American diet lots of fast food soda pops alot of beers and just garbage was looking like shit constantly feeling like shit always getting sick every other week with whatever is going around was 260 lbs now I've been eating pretty much just meat dairy eggs and some seafood. I do have occasional olives and sour sauerkraut and I do have coffee every morning For about 3 weeks now I feel and look tremendously better I've lost 20lbs so far and I sleep 100 times better my heart rhythm is back to normal my muscles look like they are growing and I'm not even working out yet im feeling better more and more everyday thank you guys for everything you do you guys are true Doctors actually helping people instead of keeping people sick and pushing drugs thank you.
My A1C dropped from 8.5 to 6.5 in 2 months on carnivore doing nothing but changing my diet and I lost 40 pounds . I feel so much healthier now I started walking 1/2 hour a day and I hope my next check up in 6 months that I won't have diabetes 2.
Do you mind terribly if I asked you if you are male or female? I am a female 68-year-old diabetic and I'm wondering if this could actually happen for me as well. The only reason I asked if you are male or female is that I know in general men's metabolism is much higher than ours and they tend to lose weight more easily anyway if they change their diet. I just want some hope that this could actually work for me
At 71, just learning about all of this. Been scrambling for time to watch more videos and sharing with a few friends. I started with Dr Berg Healthy Keto; it was life changing and made huge health improvements and successful weight loss. Lots of supplements, 8-10 cups daily veggies with unlimited greens. Then came oxalate stones; one stone removed and five smaller ones to hopefully pass. So here I am having decided to transition to Carnivore; still trying to wrap my head around all this. I am way more impressed about what seems like “the next level”. Not many doctors like you guys. Simply put; Lustwig, Baker, both of you and a few others are docs that are naturally drawn to doing right by yourselves and others. Thank you. Good experience ordering my mineral drops with Dr Berry’s discount code. You both have a genuine call to your medical professions and are doing much good. Thank you all.
Oh wow, this is so dope. I absolutely love Dr. Berry, I never miss a video or a live. I also follow Neisha, his wife. So glad to see you guys together, even if it is a premier. I look forward to it.
When i live carnivore i feel best and blood sugars are in range. But if i bake and taste cake i get sick headcahes, inflammation and put weight on straight away. Its that direct. So back to carnivore and body settles down and brain clears and weight slowly goes down. Blood suagrs reduce too. This is the best elmination diet for modern humans and we are indebted to these brillant doctors brave andncaring enough to let us all know about this radical but logical way of eating and living.
These 2 are my Dr.s !!!! The proof is in the pudding. I've been Keto 3 years but have struggled on and off for 6 months and gained some weight. I'm on Day 9 doing Carnivore. I'm challenging myself to 90 days Carnivore and will re-evaluate after that if I continue or go back to ketovore. Thank you both!! I've tried to tell people plants are trying to kill you. They think I'm nuts. That's okay!! They WILL see the results in 90 days! 😁👊
The MINUTE you have the master, Ken Berry, on your show, you have made it my friend....Amazing interview Dr. Chaffee...Keep up the great work and content!!
Although predictable, this is an interview to save. It's an interview you can share to non-carnevores, without stupidities, without complications, just basic facts and logic. Thank you very much! ❤️
Ive watched a ton of both of your videos and its amazing to hear the truth from doctors for once . So sick of the lies and corruption in the health care system and food companys . Carnivore has changed my life drastically and im sharing it as well with anyone that will listen
Isn't that the funny thing...Dr. Chaffee said it right there if we get away from what we shouldn't be doing, to do what we should be doing our "heath care" system would have less of a burden. I recently became a Patrion for Dr. Berry for this reason. We need to support these doctors who are actively looking out for us and stop buying drugs from Big Pharma who only care about their bottom line. My daughter was recently diagnosed with PCOS and Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee have done more to help her with their teachings than the Metformin she was prescribed. It really is time for us to start realizing we are being lied to and our loved ones suffer due to unwillingness to believe that maybe we got it wrong and it is time to rethink our position on nutrition.
You gentlemen have helped me and my health so much. Now my husband is benefiting and I even suggested it to my sister in law for my nephew’s chrons. Thank you for everything.
Just watched this (2 years later and STILL so good). Hats off to both of you. Loved hearing the talk about FIBER. Omg, fiber. I know Dr. Berry's take on fiber from a few years ago, but I needed to hear it again because SO MANY experts and doctors that have 1000% credibility with me INSIST that fiber will save your life (and damage it if you skip it). WTF? So I needed to hear it again. Love both of your passion and commitment to truly help people not be on meds (and Dr. Berry's use of the word "sheeee-it"multiple times to underscore his passion!) I said no to keto forever, and my husband and I finally took the plunge and am so happy we did (over 2 and half years now) and I'm actually considering carnivore. (But i heard from my newly graduated nurse friend that it could destroy my kidneys and give me cancer. 🤦♀😂) Thank you again! So happy you both are in this world!
I’ve been low carb/fasting 8 1/2 months. Down 42 pounds now. I tried introducing beans and lentils but saw my weight increase that week. I’m convinced I’m hyper sensitive to carbohydrates in any form so I’ve been trying carnivore now. Seems to be working. Feeling really good! I can finally do pull-ups!
The biggest issue I have with eating this way is the derogatory social tones that everyone else vibes when I tell them I prefer to just eat meat. Everyone turns into a nutrition expert and insists on telling me I’m killing myself. At least my wife is actually a MD who supports my choices and reassures me that red meat is extremely healthy and I’m not gonna drop dead anytime soon! She was raised on a carnivore diet growing up in Kenya and has the IQ and health to prove meat is the answer!
Awesome! Sounds like an impressive woman! And anytime people say something, just chuckle and say yeah it seems weird, but that's what my wife the doctor recommends and I feel amazing. I find that the less I care about it, the less people even notice it. Just do your thing and people will just get used to it and stop bringing it up
If I’m out with friends I just say I’m on the Keto diet. I push the salad or veg around on my plate and eat the meat. No biggy
@@anthonychaffeemd I love your perspective Dr A. You are new to me...as in THIS weekend...Dr B on the other hand...I've been following for years! I always say for the above comment, hummmm...my doctor(s) doesnt agree with you. Do you boo...My doctors...Ken B and now you!
And actually I do have a fantastic MD in CO! He prescribed paleo...then Keto to me 10-15 years ago to deal with HPN that I didn't want to talk pills for💪🏾🥰 ...sooo ALL 3 of MY physicians...KNOW THE DEAL!
I can totally agree when I get in " discussions " with others. Most times I just tell them I'm low carb because I'm diabetic. My family surpringly tells me when carbs are present because they see how much healthier I am eating this way. When I go to family dinners, I now scrambled eggs before I go so I'm not so hungry. Wish I had a supportive spouse.
Some friends
My Dr. got very angry with me when I questioned him after diagnosing me with spinal arthritis and saying I would need 2-4 Vicodin pills every day for the rest of my life. I went on the vicodin for years b/c I was in so much pain, then after 3-4 years he told me he could no longer prescribe my vicodin and I would now need a TEAM to support my pain needs. What a nightmare I have been through.
Fast forward to now: Started eating meat, water, salt.....I am stronger and pain free. Thank you so much for getting the word out.
That's fantastic! I'm really happy to hear that!
That's wonderful 😊
Un real amazing . My mom had to deal with the change and sent to the pain clinic for her pain meds . So hard for her . She had cancer tho besides a spine issue . She passed but we’d try this if she were here
Just saw your post after listening to this podcast, very interested to know if you are still carnivore and pain free. I have arthritis in my spine thinking of making the change to carnivore.
Thanks for your reply, I've been eating a high raw diet which has helped tremendously but not with the arthritis hopefully carnivore is the a answer. Thankyou
I’m an 80 year old woman and when I was obese seven years ago I lost 23 kg (50 pounds) with Weight Watchers. It took me a year, and it was a year of white knuckling it and feeling hungry all the time. Then I came across low carb and lost another 10 pounds in a month! Now I’m carnivore and won’t ever go back.
Amazing! I'm so glad to hear that you're doing so well!
What an encouraging message you shared about your age and your health accomplishments even at age 80. Thank you for sharing. I'm 65 and started seriously at age 64 especially after losing my mom who succumbed to dementia. In one year of ketovore I'm now down 90 and counting. This is after a lifetime of Pre-diabetic co-mobidities. I'm currently leaning in my food regiment towards carnivore along with already 1 and 2 meals a day. Kudos to you and keep on keeping on with continued good health to you.
I looked at my wife’s weight watchers plan years ago and they actually encouraged animal crackers over a similar serving of nuts. I knew she wouldn’t lose much on it when it didn’t restrict carbs at all. I recently went keto and she now just eats low carb/high fat with me. She’s down to her lowest weight in 20 years without even trying. Amazing what more fat does to help a woman lose weight (even without ketosis). She had really struggled to lose weight before with lots of exercise and effort. I mention that my diet helped and she’s just like shut up 😂.
And not hungry all the time!!!!
I agree with you. I am 75. And I have lost 65 pounds. And I have also lost the exzema. And arthritis and diabetes. And I love it. I won’t go back either
Truth! My IBS gone! Psoriasis, brain fog, mood swings, constant nausea and headaches gone. 150 lbs, gone. All the years of putting myself down, going away. Energy, happines, mental clarity and better health gained. Thank you for saying it how it is!
How long did it take for you to start seeing benefits?
What all you did plz help I am just 37 I am suffering from psoriasis & Graves’ disease I recently got married plz help I am from India
I am 79 years young...I remember going to the grocery store with my grandmother back in the late 1940's ....the store was about the size of a two car garage. Yup....and it had everything she needed to buy foodwise. And there were NO obese nor fat humans walking around then either. That just shows us what has become of the food system.
look at pictures of crowds in the 50's 😢 I'm so old, I remember when a McD opened near my work and I was stunned to see the size of a quarter pounder!
We were always outside playing and didn't have cellphones or tablets to play games. Fatty liver disease is effecting kids now to age of 10 how sad. Thank you mickey ds and door dash
Y would doctors lie to me? Y wouldnt they help and save ppl. It's a job of a doc to heal
I agree! But people actually walked a bit back then. People use golf carts now to the mailbox!😳
I was vegetarian on and off for decades and vegan for the past 7 years. I couldn’t lose weight to save myself and my RA and asthma getting worse and worse. This past July I blew out my knee trying to walk the weight off. My son introduced me to carnivore and Dr. Berry’s videos. Fast forward 3 1/2 months and I’ve lost 20 pounds, off both asthma meds, plus inflammation and pain gone. I absolutely have no sugar or carb cravings, and I’ve stopped drinking wine. I never thought I could kick my food (and alcohol) addiction. Bless you two doctors for the good work you do.
How would you approach a vegetarian (who is one for ethical reasons) in order to help them see the malnutrition and disease causing diet they consume? I just care about their health and they look just like every skinny sickly vegetarian but they are resolute in their choice to not eat meat.
@@pamlemm903 My son asked me a question that required me to really stop and assess my diet. He asked, “How is your health doing on this diet?” No judgment…just a question. I had to answer honestly by saying, “Not so hot.” Then he told me that he would share what he had learned in his research when I was ready. Trust me…I was ready!
@@chalktalkwithshari4173 hmm interesting. Okay thank you for that valuable insight!
Houston ER nurse here, and because of you doctors, from now on, all my patients that come with UC flares or any IBS symptoms, I'll be like "hey have you looked in to the carnivore diet to possibly resolve every singe one of your symptoms??" :D even though carnivore diet could get our entire ER empty, ill start with the GI patients first 👍🏼
I am a 60 yr old woman, hypothyroidism, HBP, sugar addict, but I started the carnivore last Monday, and not even a week in, after quitting all sugar, and 100% carnivore, I feel better these last few days than I have my entire life!! I had arthritis very bad in my hands, and knees, and was in constant pain. My pain has been cut in HALF!! I can get up from the chair wihout it hurting now, my hands are almost 90% pain free. I am feeling so much better! I can't wait to see my next A1C numbers in March 2024. With what I minitor, my BP, and my glucose, they are coming down. Today my glucose was only 95, and I was ecstatic because it stayed at an average of 146. And I wasn't a bad eater, my downfall was coffee with LOTS of cream and sugar. But I quit the sugar cold turkey, and went through withdrawals for about three days, mostly a busting headache, but I am doing fine now, AND drinking coffee (1cup per day) with nothing added!! I am so proud of myself. I wish I done this years ago.
Congratulations dear heart. ♥️
Words cannot express how happy I am for you! I bet you feel like a different person.keep going. I'm proud of you!
Thanks for sharing your story and massive health accomplishment.
You have inspired me 💕
THIS is the interview that every single sick person (physically OR mentally) should hear. Dr Berry was in rare form. Confident, funny, approachable, relatable, believable and just a touch of kick in the ass. Man, I LOVED this! Thanks, docs!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! And yes it agree, it was great talking to him!
@@anthonychaffeemd Hey Anthony. I recently subscribed to your channel after watching your interview with Andy Kaufman. I wonder if you have ever addressed the issue of "sustaniability" of a carnivore diet for the world's population. Is it possible to grow that much meat?
@richardgreenwood6474 look into Allan savoy regenerative farming. It is very possible if this type of farming.

The above is a TED talk
In 2020 I had a stroke and had carotid artery surgery. I listened to my doctor and ate my vegetables and only chicken. I gained weight. Went on statins also. I not only gained weight but had intense pain in my right arm and lost some use of my right hand that I had surgery on years ago for ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel. My blood panel never improved. I stopped statins but continued to eat as they said I should. I went through the stress testing and other tests and did very well. My last blood panel was worse and my calcium level went way up. I found Dr Berry and other doctors talking about the carnivore diet. Decided September 16 to try the carnivore diet. Arm pain gone, energy levels are up. I’ve lost 17 pounds down from 157 to o 140. I’m not napping the afternoon away and now accomplishing things I need to do. I feel so much better. Am excited to get my blood panel done in December. I’m 76 years old and terrified of having another stroke.
You are doing everything you are able to do to prevent it. ❤
How was the blood results ?!?!?!
@@madusimo1 last blood panel was a bit improved. Will be getting another in a couple of weeks and I expect a much improved one. Also have lost 26 pounds. I can let you know in a few weeks about blood panel
Beware…on carnivore your lipid panel will most likely result in you getting you having a screaming match a your dr appt, which I had today! My hdl, triglycerides are perfect but ldl and cholesterol were “horrible and I need a statin”-though I’ve lost 40 lbs in 7mo and I’m 88% in range as a typ1 diabetic. 🫢…talking to a dr who is overweight and type 2 diabetic.
We have to have lots of fat in our diet in order to have a healthy brain and strong bones.Statins deprive both of what they need.
This will be Epic!! Dr Berry has been proclaimed top educator for the PHD and Dr Chaffee is living proof of what 100% Carnivore diet can achieve. Solid Gold!!
What a wonderful comment - wholeheartedly endorse your perspective! Solid gold, indeed!!
Dr. Chaffee is no slouch. He narrows in on the carnivore like no one else. Love Dr. Berry but when it comes to pure carnivore Anthony is the man.
@@EsseQuamVideriSe7en no disagreement there brother!
@@carnivoredietmike6078 We are very lucky to have 2 such doctors willing to swim against the current at their own professional peril. Add Dr. Baker to that list too.
Thanks guys, I hope it lived up to expectations!
Thank you for all your videos...I am 76 years old and for most of my adult life I tried to steer away from red meat especially. Went for seven years without any beef...then many more years vegetarian and then fruitarian and I was never feeling well, never had energy. Now I have been for three years about 95% Carnivore, and for the future I am going for eating only beef and lamb, with Redmond's salt. I am feeling very good now and so much more energy. I feel as if I am only 45 instead of nearing 77 years old.
I'm so very happy for you
It's nice to hear that there are other young women my age on Carnivore. I'm 75 years young. I'm a newbie. I just started 6 weeks ago. The human body is so brilliantly designed. I'm so looking forward to seeing how my body responds. Shopping is easier and meals are easier and I'm settling into OMAD, so keeping my kitchen is easier too. And I dropped 6 lbs so my clothes fit easier.
@@susancastner7332 Great to hear Susan... I just get more and more strict with the Carnivore because I feel so much better... I will be 78 in October...
I feel YEARS YOUNGER too eating BBB&Es!? CARNIVORE is excellent!!
Amen sister
Exactly, Dr. Berry! As my daughter would say "facts". I stopped going to my family practitioner because when I mentioned that I needed to lose weight (I was around 220 lbs at the time, but got to 253 and said enough was enough...) he told me that I didn't need to lose any weight because I wasn't diabetic, no cholesterol or heart issues, and no IBS. At that moment, I was like "Why am I asking him, when he is about 70 pounds overweight, at least" So I stopped going to him, I still haven't found a Doctor, but am looking for one. Since leaving, I have dropped 100 pounds and feel healthy and feel good about my weight.
Smart lady!!!
Why bother with doctors . They can only follow “approved” protocols which are drugs.
Unless you want to fund big pharma, then u don't even need a doctor cause that's all they offer cause that's all they are trained in. Check out carnivore diet and find good health.
Yet you’re gonna look for another one?!?!?🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
To see Dr Chaffee literally taking notes during this is so refreshing. He obviously takes this sh!t seriously. And that should say and mean everything about the information he’s putting out. Really, REALLY appreciate this dude.
Well than you sir, I appreciate that!
Taking notes helps brain learn and retain information even if never re read the notes. Its interesting how this happens, but listening looking and writing is the best way to learn. Dr.Anthony is real deal. As is Dr.Berry. except nobody stocks his books here in Australia they say its American but we have heaps of American things here. Seems a taboo topic still this carnivore lifestyle of health
How do you know he's taking notes? Maybe he's drawing cows or something...
@@bozhenka77 great point 🤔
Fr me the carb withdrawal was really bad!! My diet was terrible with a lot of sweet soda and garbage! I was dying,morbidly obese,and barely walking with a cane! I’ve been keto for 9 months and have lost about half the weight I need to lose! I’m walking fine ( no limp) with no knee pain! Haven’t had gout in 13 months after having 3-5 flares per year! Anyway I had to stop the carbs in steps! It was impossible to cut them all at first,I would not have been able to work! I started off using a spoon of peanut butter Several times a day then I went to keto yogurt and weaned myself off of it! The carb withdrawal is a battle! It’s hard! And it’s definitely worth it! I’m not even close to my goal weight but feel so so much better and have a lot of energy and drive! Dr. Berry changed and probably saved my life and I look forward to shaking his hand one day! If you are considering making these changes then GO FOR IT! You will feel better than words can say! Oh and by the way, you can actually get full when eating real foods! When eating processed sugary foods you stay hungry 24/7
Good job! I need to start and not go back.
You’re an inspiration
I love the both of you. And I love how both of you say "Simple eat meat until satisfied". People keep wanting to make it hard. Even grocery shopping is simple. I love going to the grocery store and walk past all those products right to the back and pick out my food. No matter what anyone says it's cheaper to eat this way that the SAD way. And it take less than 10 minutes to cook the meat. And I done. My trash can is not as full due to no boxes and cans. For those that think it's too expensive just take a receipt and add up the vegetables, rice, cereal, condiments and see by not buying them how much you save
Good advice! So much veg goes bad. And fruit! It feels more expensive to begin, per package, but per meal, as you eat less over time (as in you're more satisfied with the nutrient dense foods), it becomes very economical.
Exactly! I find we have zero waste. Fridge & freezer less "cluttered" with the "other foods". Love it!
Shopping is so quick, The butcher…….then eggs cheese butter….end of shopping.
Now I shop for pretty dresses.
🇦🇺
My two favorite doctors! How have I not seen this till a year later?!
Both doctors are light-years ahead of most dieticians and GI medical specialists. It never ceases to astound me how much I learn on this topic. Forever grateful for all you do, gentlemen.
as long as they say what you want to hear they are the best ! ! !
I think l've finally hit a struggle with carnivore.
I've been doing it religiously for 4 months and ended up in the ER with afib. I eat nothing but red meat and I know that doc is going to tell me to lay off red meat. The problem is I don't have any definitive evidence other than Shawn and Anthony and a few other UA-camrs saying it's good for you. Does anyone have any good resources I can read that are unbiased?
You’re correct. With ppl waking up hopefully it will be faster.
We’ve been lied to for so long and pharma has never had our best interests in mind. The doctors make money from their indoctrination and will have to go back to basics.
I ve been starving myself for 54 years.😂 I would starve myself everyday, rather than be obese! I now, thanks to all you do, would gladly eat meat and eggs for the rest of my life. You have amazing content, and and am very thankful you take the time. I want my family to be as healthy as they can be!!! I order my beef half a cow at a time!
Since learning from Dr Chaffee, I've gone from fit to ridiculous fit. I combine carnivore and fasting and have trained my body to look for stored fat when I exercise every morning 16 hours into fasting. I've not even been sore since I began this , no matter how hard I run and play tennis and lift. After decades of working out and still having a bit of "padding" I am ripped... thank you for explaining just why Plants are Trying to Kill us! AND... I dropped Statins and all other meds.. a year ago.
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing that, and I'm really glad I could help in some way! Haha, and yeah the never getting sore thing is amazing. People really have a hard time believing that one unless they do it themselves
@mloukhia Recovery is quicker due to things such as not suffering from chronic system inflammation.
@mloukhia And having all the essential nutrients your body needs to recover. Since the New Year, I have come back to training after too many years away. I did have some DOMS at first, but so little that I thought I wasn't training hard enough. I was wrong because my diet is ideal for recovery.
@mloukhia there are inflammatory factors in plants that cause you to be much more sore and experience more pain than you would otherwise. While my muscles are healing, they do not pain me. But if I eat plants or drink coffee, they do. Same with back pain and injuries: they will hurt far worse when eating plants or drinking coffee
@@anthonychaffeemd My vice, if you will, is still coffee. I'm fine not having plants and haven't eaten fruit for a few years now, but I'm willing to give up coffee if it will help with my tendonitis and recovery pain after my workouts. It will be "fun" trying to wean myself off of it. Thanks for the video!
Dr Berry is right about getting a new doctor if one gets mad at you for not following their advise. That has happened to me several times.
These are genuine Doctors,reducing suffering and saving lives.I can’t praise them enough and thank them for all their work.
Well thank you Kevin, I really appreciate that
Real is right......They care....
Step 1: Always have guests that are in agreement with you.
@@thomasjohnson6808not necessarily.
Dr Anthony Chaffee has several podcasts and also debates with people who don't agree with his views.
He's always respectful and is an excellent listener.
He's also very good at citing specific evidence to back up the facts he discusses.
I love Dr Berry, love his passion and no bullshit manner. Following him and Dr Jason Fung I've managed to drop 65 pounds in 7 months.
That's awesome! Very well done. Keep it up!
Yep, Dr Fung is awesome, another with excellent analogies!
Dr. Ken is as down-home as f--! I love the guy for never losing sight of the basics: Millions of people have been hurt badly by official nutrition advice and they need the straight story in order to turn their health around. Dr. Chaffee has impressed me because he’s living proof of what a proper human diet can do when combined with a few lifestyle fundamentals.
I love him too! Straight forward and no BS. He’s a wealth of metabolic health knowledge and is just so incredibly smart.
Since switching to carnivore on January 1st/23 I’ve noticed huge changes in my ability to feel my body fat. Before I started I knew I was fat, but wasn’t able to feel where the fat ended and the muscle began, now it seems like I can feel my body underneath a fat suit. And the fat suit is shrinking at an alarming rate, but I feel great. Thanks doctors for being my inspiration for the last year.
That's amazing! I'm really glad to hear that. Keep going with it, it only gets better from here!
Update?
@@Finn959 April I quit smoking…bit of a rollercoaster life since then. Haven’t been doing carnivore because of lifestyle changes…. Trying to stabilize my life again.
@@Finn959 update, day 4 carnivore today. Will post videos/pics to my channel over time, I have no video editing skills and limited time as I also work too much but I hope to improve my health and add to the community somehow.
Exactly 💯 thanks DrBerry. The gym is lifting and bending. All the same things i do as a mum all day at home. Add in there walking and fun in the sun with family either bike riding or swimming or playing in the park. But making beds, doing dishers, lifting heavy food ahopping bags and lifting young children is all exercise.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis several years ago, thyroid antibodies were over 2,500. Started with autoimmune protocol diet, turned paleo, then keto, now carnivore...antibodies recently checked at 152.
😯
How exciting. I'm hopeful that I will have the same experience ☺️
My husband is the same but he’s still taking levothyroxine. Did you wind down your t4 medication or did you just stop?
Forks Over Knives got me. It was a HUGE push. And now plant-based diet is MASSIVE because they've tied it to saving the planet. I'm just starting Keto/Carnivore - coming off the sugar/fat combo. Wish me luck!
pay up your life insurance
@@buckmurdock2500 Haha - I didn't do kept/carnivore in the end. Decided "everything in moderation." It's not going well.... 😬
Im going carnivore (day 4) because I can’t stand how I feel. I’m 40 pounds overweight. I developed floaters in my eyes. I have high BP. Sleep apnea. Diverticulitis and irritable bowel. I go to the bathroom 3-4 times after eating. 6 yrs ago before I got injured and could work I was on zero meds. I was thin and athletic all my life. Into my 60’s. Then came 2 hospital visits. A gym injury. Disability. Depression. Pills. Heart attack. Omg. I hiked 800 km through northern Spain at 59! Now I’m 69 and a total mess. Either I lay down and just die in pain or I get up and fight. I decided to fight. I’ve lost 10 pounds in the past 6 weeks and 4 days ago decided to go carnivore. My cardiologist is an idiot. So is my primary. U get to a point where u realize no one cares except you. You need to fix you. I believe that in 4-6 months I’ll be cured of everything. I already fixed the IBS in 4 days. Today I haven’t had to run to the bathroom 3-4 times to poop. You said that I could get carnivore diarrhea for a couple weeks. Joe Rogan had that problem. That’s fine because I already had that issue for 4 yrs. So far my intestines feel better than they have in years. Thanks doctors. I could only do carnivore because I’m desperate. Desperate people will try anything.
Good on yeah! Check in after the month Itd be great news to announce I’m sure. 5 yr carnivore after 45 yr vegetarian and 22 yrs of AS arthritis pain’s & brain fog I’ve outgrown it all. But my Naturopath has worked for 2+ yrs on liver, spleen, small intestines which I needed badly; also found mold & mercury with in me! Using a German Vega energy reading tool for immediate accurate readings on what’s not working well, sensitivity’s, & what of her product fits my body’s need. It’s amazing, immediate without blood letting 😂 & includes my chakra energy’s read too! All the best darling. You’ll be growing well & younger soon. ❤❤❤
I hope you are doing great ❤️🩹 and I understand completely the fight 💪
Please talk about fasting on carnivore because of infection in bowel from diverticulitis
I have been carnivore for 10 months. I have lost about 60 pounds. I keep having flare ups with diverticulitis. Then comes fasting on clear liquids, bleeding internally, and augmenten mixed with amoxicillin 3X a day. I had an extensive
CT scan that the doctor didn’t even look at with contrast and the stuff you drink to make you glow. Now they say no colonoscopy until November. I waited over to months to get to a rude nurse who could care less and was totally unprepared for my visit. I guess my question is will I heal up on carnivore
And should I mess with this clinic anymore. Her parting shot was well you may have cancer, but you want to stay on your carnivore diet that is your decision,
Qigong will help. You can do it in any situation. Even only with your mind.
Thank you both for sharing this information! I was searching for help in February 2022 after turning 56. I was T2diabetic, high blood pressure, long hauler Covid for over 1 year, anxiety and depression, and chronic inflammation with joint pain. I had recently lost an older brother to complications of T2diabetes, lost 3 other family members to complications of diabetes and both parents to metabolic disease. I was getting sicker and going on more medications each year. I felt like I might die younger than my brother and parents. I came across an interview with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, read his book Why We Get Sick (actually listened on Audible) and came home the same day and cleaned out my fridge and pantry, went to the grocery store and started a meat heavy Keto life style the very next day. I didn't quite know what I was doing so the first few weeks were a bit rough but I was determined. Within 6 weeks I had reversed my T2diabetes - no more meds, had lowered my blood pressure - off 1 of 2 meds, anxiety and my long hauler Covid and inflammation - gone! I couldn't believe how quickly it happened and I felt amazing and so mentally clear, sharp! I hadn't had this kind of energy in decades! I have since gone Carnivore for more healing and because I just feel so good eating this way. I"m down 30 lbs, off 5 prescription medications, sleeping better, feel great every day, eat zero fiber and feel better than ever! I work in a large warehouse environment and have coworkers I don't even know coming up to ask me what I'm doing. I bought several copies of Dr. Bikman's book and have been passing them around! I have family and friends who follow me online messaging me and I'm sending them an email with basic info and pdf's so they can start their own healthcare revolution in their lives, starting with an experiment of one as I did. I share Dr. Berry's videos with everyone and am a Patreon member supporting the work he does. I listen toDr. Chaffee's podcast and follow him online. Not quite telling everyone about Carnivore yet as this is very new for me (started June 1st) but Keto is a perfect place to start! I know I feel like I'm aging in reverse - I look and feel younger! I have more weight to lose but my focus is on my health. I heard a great quote recently, "Weight loss is a side effect of wellness." My own mantra is now, "T2diabetes isn't in your genes, it's in your pantry."
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering how the people react when you explain them what you are doing, because I don’t feel confident enough to tell people about carnivore at the moment, I hope that eventually when I feel better I will be able to do it .
@@mab5349 no need to tell anyone until you're ready. I've only told a few family members (only went Carnivore June 1st, was meat heavy Keto before that, started mid-February). I'm telling everyone about Keto because I think that's an easier sell and a good place to start. Carnivore may not be for everyone. Again, only share what you are comfortable with.
Good point regards sharing the keto diet concept. Except for me I'm such an open book I struggle to keep anything to myself so been telling everyone regardless..I guess I have forgotten how new a concept it I to most as I'm so into it now.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Chafee for bringing up addiction of food/carbs/sugar and how for many of us, eating bits of our addictive foods, starts the cycle of addiction over and over again. I heard someone say (can’t remember who it was): “I’m better at restricting than I am at moderating.” I am 55 yrs old and I have finally found a calm, quiet space within myself thru the carnivore diet. It’s almost hard to explain the peace I now feel. Keep up the good work. We’re listening. Love you guys!
I had a Rheumatologist who strongly opposed me trying keto, but at my next appointment he apologized to me for how he reacted previously and had done his own research on keto and saw promise in it. My dad is a nurse and I am an EMT with a bachelor's in livestock nutrition so I try to research everything before I make a decision about my health.
That’s sounds like a Great degree to have !
Now that doctor is a keeper! Respects an intelligent patient enough to look into what YOU brought up, changes his mind as data demands, and has thw confidence/humility (two sides of the same coin) to admit when wrong. Beautiful.
Great job patient AND doc
I will say this, Dr Ken Berry is the Real Deal of a M.D. and he cares for People .
He used to be my cousin M.D. for several years.
I been following Dr. Ken Berry for the last 5 years here on UA-cam.
We need a bunch of Dr. Ken Berry throughout The U.S.A. and especially in my region.
Because Specialists in this region doesn't care about you ( I am not speaking about all ) ,
but many of them. At this point, I only have 2 Specialists who care about my health ( real persons ).
Love this! In 2009 I started at 300 lbs and on 5 meds for over 25 years and I fired my fat doctor because he didn’t practice what he preached! Started with paleo and lost 125#’s and maintaining it today now on carnivore. I’m 58 and I’ve not taken meds or supplements since then and survived the vidrona w/o axine as well ♥️ screw the med community and pharma, I have insurance cuz I’m forced to 🤦🏼♀️
Yesterday, I took my 14 daughter and her friend, to the beach. We instantly started throwing the football. After about 20 minutes, the girls got tired and decided to go into the water. I was left throwing the football into the air. 5 minutes of that and a stranger motioned to me, "I'm Open!". I threw it. Next thing I know, I and 5 strangers are engaged in football follies. This lasted well over an hour. Until they ALL got tired. By then, the girls were out of the water. We started up again. I quit because I had developed a blister on my bare foot. Not because I was tired. I was out performing everyone. Those strangers were average age of low 20's and I'll be 57 next month. Less than 10% body fat by DEXA scan. I race dirt bikes, surf, bike, fish and more. At the gym, I perform sets of 5 weighted dips with 3x45 plates. ZERO CARBS!
Ken Berry is a beast.
I like listening to Doctor’s who are willing to keep learning and go against the “protocols” on outdated “science”.
Since going carnivore I’ve never felt so good. Liver function tests all went down. Blood pressure went down. Ain’t no way there is no connection.
Absolutely, Dr Berry is awesome! You have to keep learning and keep your mind open to the possibility that you've been completely wrong the whole time
@@anthonychaffeemd He definitely is and so are you lol, two UA-cam doctors I’ll listen to for sure.
Yes I feel lots of old school doctors get there PHDs and all that and then sit on their ass and don’t care to learn other than what pharma reps come to the clinics with. Push pills rather than find some preventative ways.
Thanks for caring about humans hha
These 2 are absolute gold. Am loving watching and learning and also putting into practice the things that we are listening to. they are brilliant.
Just last week I thought this was the episode I wanted to see. After vowing to never do elimination diets again after I wrecked my health trying veganism, Dr Berry's videos gave me the encouragement to try keto. I improved some, but then slowly found I was going towards carnivore. Your videos, as well as ones from Kelly Hogan, helped me decide it was the best decision for me. I'm 48, I've had IBS since I was 10, Crohn's since I was 29. The past 3 months are the first in my life I remember being pain free, and in full control of my bowel, especially since my bowel reconstruction (several feet of necrotic intestine.)
Wonderful. I hope your health continues to improve.
I'm so glad youre feeling better! I went 100% strict plant-based for 14 months with the hope for healing. It just made me more sick. I was WORSE than when I started. Just a few weeks on carnivore and I feel like a new person. Everything is reversing. It really is amazing!
@@TeresaO-PHD-Coach same thing, but only 12 months for me. I developed edema in my hands and feet, and high blood pressure (which the only other time I've had high BP was when they cut my intestines out.)
@@mikelindsey6407 My blood pressure went up as well and I had swelling in just my feet and ankles. I developed joint pain and it would hurt to climb stairs and I sounded like rice krispies going down the stairs, bad depression, and the icing on the cake is now I have ZERO libido which means the plant-based diet screwed my thyroid. I could go on and on but I'm done giving that plant diet even one more minute of my energy. So if anyone reading this is thinking of going plant-based, do your research first and don't believe those plant documentaries you see! I wanted desperately to heal and it will never work. Listen to Dr. Chaffee and Dr. Berry. Best thing I ever did :)
I messed myself up by going vegan..now I'm doing carnivore
Hi Dr. Chaffee. I got a food dehydrator and tried your recipe of ribeye beef jerky with just sea salt. I didn’t marinate it and just put right in the dehydrator on 165 degrees for about 3 hours. I didn’t do a big chunk, I cut it into strips. It was wonderful! A little more oily than the packaged kind due to the extra fat content of the meat, but it was delicious. My kids loved it too and asked for it to be packed in their lunchboxes. I’m so happy I found your recipe because this will make travel and work and school so much easier! 😊
I’ve got to find this recipe, thanks
🇦🇺
Where could I find this recipe?
It makes sense to me that eating roughage in the forms of vegetables, fruits, grains etc. with the accompanying fecal waste causes unnecessary wear and tear on my intestines and now being carnivore for almost 2 years, my lifelong constipation is gone. My intestinal pain is gone. My 30 year autoimmune disease is quiescent. I just wish I knew this before age 63.
I agree with you and I’m in the same place as you as I’m 64. I have been trying to figure this out for 30 years. Dr JordanPeterson and his daughter Mikhala were how I found out about the carnivore diet. Good luck.
Well I'm glad you all found it when you did anyway! Now we just have to get the message out to the rest of the autoimmune community, as autoimmune diseases, all autoimmune diseases, just melt away on a Carnivore diet
My favorite doctors! I learned from Dr. Berry to eat meat and from Dr. Chaffee to quit coffee and sugar. I feel better, stronger and healthier than ever in my 50 years of life. Thank you for your great work!
I’m a thin, healthy 55. I have joked many times in my life about being carnivore. I really only like meat and the occasional vegetable or fruit. I believe it has helped me stay healthy enough to recover from serious injuries. I feel like I’m still in my 30s.
I'm sure it has!
I agree with the sentiments entirely. I did carnivore for 9 months during the pandemic in 2020 and had tremendous results, fixing mental health, sleep and skin issues in addition to getting to a healthy body weight. I was following the guidelines of prominent advocates of the carnivore lifestyle online. Then Dr Saladino began to promote honey and the occasional portion of fruit. I like sweet things, and the justification seemed sound so I began incorporating a small amount of honey, which turned into a large amount of honey, then honey and fruit, then honey fruit and vegetables, then at some point I found myself eating pizza and all the other junk and getting overweight and sick again. Then for the next 3 years I tried to go back to just meat several times and was not able to last more than a couple of days. I eventually found myself more overweight and more unwell than ever before. I started carnivore month again this year, with a much more disciplined approach, much more strict and I feel like I’m beginning to overcome my food addictions again. Dr Saladino’s approach was all the justification I needed to slip off the wagon last time, and this time I am not going down that road.
I love Dr. Berry! He talks real, breaks everything down easily, and makes me LOL! My whole life has changed for the better since I found him 7 weeks ago.
Love Dr Berry just discovered Dr Chaffee
How are you doing now? Did you stick to your diet
@@nathanklein4538 yes. It'll be 9 months tomorrow. I'm completely healed and down 90#. I dont ever see myself going back. I have better energy than I did in my 20s. Meat heals ♡
I am a retired dietitian who LOVES your advice. Have believed what you say for a while. Living on acreage is also a marvelous way of getting great exercise
Im a medical assistant and i work in a doctors office and I have lost almost 50 pounds on keto mostly carnivore and one of the doctors has been harassing me about the way I eat. So I finally told her to back off because this is my own body and this has changed my life. She won’t even speak to me and it hurts my feelings but she doesn’t even try to do the research. Yet the other doctor in my office tells me to tell certain pt all about my way of eating!
That is extremely unprofessional of her 😳
You will get backlash from the medical community. Just "soldier on". They have been inundated with misinformation and you will not change their minds. It shouldn't be up to them and with the lack of nutritional information they receive and with most of it being wrong, she will continue to believe the status quo. Don't even think of trying to change her mind. She be respectful of her in the way you tell her.
It’s amazing how tenacious these old, outdated, crappily researched beliefs are. The big orgs are to blame-AHA, ADA, FDA, etc. The food pyramid was based on purposely misinterpreted research findings.
Uhhh.. is she FAT?
I always wonder, would that same doctor harass you if you were eating a standard junk food diet? Or would they just assume that’s normal.
I’ve only been carnivore for about two months and I’m already 12 pounds down. I am a very healthy 59-year-old super happy with my life and the way I feel and look. My husband decided to try something different and I thought I would give it a go just for fun and oh my word I cannot believe the continued results so thankful thank you gentlemen.
Two great minds and MDs coming together to offer real help to people. Dr. Berry using medical terminology and words like ginormous in the same sentence always makes me smile.
I'm sitting here, catching up on videos. I'm in ketosis almost a week. Been full (99%) carnivore for a little over a week. Thanks to both of you. I'm down 15 lbs. I figure that about 10 of that is water, but I'm taking the win. First time I've been south of 300 lbs in over two years. Had a vertical sleeve about 12 years ago and it worked for a while but the weight came back. I'm optimistic about carnivore, much more so than Keto. I always had carb cravings on Keto but I haven't had a single one on carnivore. Onward to get rid of Insulin Resistance (47.7 fasting) and a fatty liver. Thanks guys. I'm 64, BTW.
Don't discount water loss. It's very important. Especially when you learn that with one molecule of sugar there is 3 water molecules attached to it. After the body has dealt with the sugar it does nothing with those water molecules. They just hang around and accumulate.
BUT now you have removed that water.....finally😁👍
Former Crohn's sufferer here. Dr Berry's reach and ability to simplify things is great and has helped a lot of people, and Dr Chaffee's specific knowledge and experience is a godsend.
Great podcast, thank you for what you two bring to humanity.
Same here. I have a Crohn’s diagnosis but have been asymptomatic since I started doing Keto. Considering carnivore very seriously.
I am a 78-year-old male; when I was 54, I cured my ulcerative colitis by going on an Atkins carnivorish diet. It doesn't happen instantly, but give it 90 to 180 days, and it will be gone or significantly improved. My case was so severe that it took about 6 to 8 months before it was gone. My doctor was angry with me and dropped me as a patient because I refused to take his medication 22 years ago, and I have not had a problem. The only thing I have changed is increased good, healthy fats and Protein. About 70% fat and 30% protein. Also, my gout, which I have suffered from since I was in my mid-30s, is not better; it's gone. That didn't happen until I changed the ratio of fat to Protein. Much of what I thought was gout was plantar fasciitis, and once the veteran's hospital got me the proper inserts for my shoes, 90% of what I thought was gout disappeared; the other 10%, I believe, was caused by things like high fructose corn syrup. It doesn't take much! Dr. Chafee and Dr. Berry, one of your best talks, explains what I have done wrong over the years.
Thank you both of my favourite Doc's!
My husband and I started carnivore, February last year, after one of our sons lost 55kg on carnivore. I've lost 12kg and hubby lost 15kg and we've never felt better.

Hey that's great! And I'm glad more people are getting on carnivore here in Perth! When I first got here, people thought I was crazy!
@anthonychaffeemd Oh yes! people look at you as if you're from a different planet. When you tell them you are on the carnivore diet.😆
I was listening to this video while doing some housework. After, I put on the tv to watch a movie. And when you learn about food this way, it was shocking how many commercials are thrown at you for foods full of junk! I never realized before. Not one commercial about any healthy foods at all. We are so conditioned.
I was already convinced after seeing just a 60 second short from you Dr. Anthony, but I can't stop watching all of this content. It's so reassuring and just as addicting as eating steak twice a day
"Physician heal thyself!" - Luke 4:23
Can't get enough of either one of these gentlemen. Kudos to you both!!! So nice to see that someone in your field has the balls to step up in the face of the "assembly line" called medicine. I have been an avid fitness freak for 35 years and was never ever successful at closing in on a diet that I was successful at. Then I watched Dr. Berry on UA-cam and that led to watching Dr. Chaffee also on UA-cam, and then I said F$%^ it!!! I'm going to give this a shot. At 52 years of age at 6'3" and 294 lbs, I embarked on the Carnivore Journey. As of today, It's been almost 3 and a half months. I'm now at 268 lbs and I've literally lost no muscle mass!! I feel like I could run through a wall, I don't get sore and I train hard I have an energy surplus that makes me feel like I'm in my thirties again and my joints feel amazing. Thanks for sharing guys. Keep the message moving forward and keep helping people in your own way. Much love
The two titans leading the way to health and happiness. Thank you both! I’m in day 30 of carnivore and the severe pain I suffered in multiple joints is GONE! As is 25 lbs.
I love dr Berry. He has no filter!!!!
He is determined to get his message across! It’s his strength!
I love to listen to him talk ! He makes me laugh and I agree with what he says.
I love both Dr Chaffey and Dr Berry they have really educated me and gave me the courage to go into my doctors with guns blazing pun intended here. My A1C in February was 7.9 I followed Dr Berry's advice combined with Dr Chaffee decided to do ketogenic diet bordering on carnivore I just got my latest A1C results on July 18th. My A1c is 5.2! Endocrinologist was amazed she suggested that I go off the Lantus and novolog is that's when I told her I've been off it for months. She looked at my lipid panel she was amazed that everything was perfect my urinalysis panel I had an intensive urinalysis panel everything perfect and get this I lost 44 lb since February. I had a stroke in 2015 which left my right side effected of course it's better I have been working hard and I'm able to walk and drive and do all that good stuff but the most important thing for me is that I go to the aqua therapy pool at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center and swim 2 hours a day in the sunshine. In February when I had that last blood test I was depleted in vitamin D3 started swimming and spending more time in The Sunny Side of the pool without sunblock and now I have great vitamin D3 levels. Thank you to both doctors. Oh one last thing I had an insatiable sweet tooth in fact when I started to go ketogenic I bought all these alternative sweeteners like erythritol and a l l u l o s e almond flour coconut flour all these things to make sweet treats. It's cleaning out my freezer and I noticed I had a whole pan of ketogenic brownies in there I forgot all about them because I have no sweet Cravings anymore. I haven't touched the a l l u l o s e or the erythritol they were hidden in the back of my pantry I forgot about them as well. That wasn't the conscious decision it just was my body deciding for me what I needed and it wasn't anything sweet tasting
7 months into carnivore zero carb (besides what's in cheese).
LIFE CHANGING. I believe I've finally adapted, now no longer need to eat more than twice a day. And not craving anything.
It was Dr Ken Berry that got me started on Keto over 3 years ago. I have never turned back...TY Dr Berry...
When I want nutrition advice, I look for a chiropractor that pretends to be a real doctor !
@@buckmurdock2500 lol you are lost. Wrong channel, kid.😂🤣
You two are great carnivore doctors! I appreciate both of you getting the word out about the carnivore way of eating! I was 2+ low carb and heard Dr Berry talking about carnivore for months. I thought he was nuts! He mentioned Kelly Hogan and I researched her and decided to jump in! 2+ years later in still here and loving how I feel. I'm 62 and I'm not going back to the SAD! THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU!
Bachelor of sports medicine, NASM Trainer and nutrition specialist here. You guys are blowing my mind. There is still so much I need to learn. Thank you for the work you gentlemen are doing.
I hit a rough patch and ironically I work for Mondelez😂 stocking wheat thins as I comment 😞😞
I myself am living proof that this way of eating works and have come off of every medication that I used to take 6-7 of them by changing the way I eat and Dr. Berry, no worries because you are what keeps me accountable for staying on point with my diet and lost 79 lbs in the process which I couldn’t do with anything else I tried, I never get tired of your videos and find that when I rewatch some that I’ve watched I pick up on something I missed the first time around keep it strong cause you are my motivation, thank you for all you do…
Been on the all meat diet for a week now. I can feel my body change going through withdrawals from carbs and sugar. I'm sleeping better. The pain that I had in my neck and knee for years are almost gone. I was very nervous about doing this at first because of the stigma attached to meat and heart disease. But so far I feel great and already shed a few pounds in one week. I worked out yesterday for the first time in years thinking that I would wake up tired and sore but nothing.
Wonder if this is why Gates is trying to ban meat
Dr. Berry has helped me so much. I was so sick for almost 10 years. I am carnivore keto diet . Recovered 90 percent without pills
Big fan of Dr. Berry, with whom the I consulted years ago back when he was practicing. He was a great help. I’ve been to several of his events here in the South of the USA and he’s helping people to overcome the ravages of metabolic diseases. And the word is spreading from family member to family member. Destinies are changing. ❤
If only Dr Berry was the typical Dr you saw when you go to the GP! What a different world it would be! Brilliant guys!
I know, right! And thank you!
@@anthonychaffeemd I want to thank you personally, it's a long story but the short version - I'm 65, I found the 5 and 2 diet about 10 years ago, saved me from metabolic syndrome (had gout etc) found keto and wheat belly (william davis) about 3 years ago (fixed eczema and arthritis) and found you just over a month ago. Been 95% carnivore for last month and never felt better ( much to wife's chagrin - I'm too extreme) - what's amazing is I live in Perth and hadn't heard of you.
I stopped going to the GP a while ago, I just watch these doctors on UA-cam with a much better outcome.
I like how Dr Berry stands through whole interview!
These two doctors are my heroes! You saved my life and I know I’m not the only one. So excited to watch this video. Thank you for your tireless work and educating us on the true human diet.
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad that this has helped you, that really does mean a lot to me to hear, so thank you for letting us know!
I so wish that my family and friends would watch both of you doctors' videos. You both are just the absolute best at explaining everything.
Just set an example. Don’t preach.
I think my family is waiting to see how I do.
This is the best healthcare on the planet, right here on UA-cam on Saturday afternoon.
I love this doctor. "Doctors say stupid shit!" It's so true!! They just make shit up when they don't have an answer. My own doctor has done this!!
But nobody on YT says stupid shit, no sir. They only espouse hard hitting science based facts. lmao.
@@buckmurdock2500 what’s truly crazy is you can actually trust randos on youtube more than mainstream medical “professionals”.
Never give up gentlemen. There are manyof us out there!
Great interview! I just love listening to Dr Berry talk... and swear lol! His disdain for charlatans speaks volumes about the sincerity of his mission. I'm so very glad that you both pledged to "never shut-up"! You're both changing lives daily for the better! 🥰
So do I explanation point Dr Barry is awesome it was truly a pleasure to speak with him. And thank you very much! I certainly hope that what I'm doing is helping people anyway.
My Fasting + Carnivore diet experiences:
Yesterday i just got back from my optometrist who confirmed
that over the past 8 weeks, my lens prescription has
gone from:
Left-+1.5 Right +2.75 back down to
Left-+0.5 Right 0.0
Been wearing glasses for 9+ years.
In this time, I water-only fasted 5 days just before
Xmas, then water-only fasted 16 days just after New
years, then straight into Carnivore for a week (with
some vegetables) zero carb, then dropping veg. and
doing 100% Meat, eggs and animal fats only since..
I'm stronger everyday.
Have lost 10+ kgs of fat (and keptit off)
That's my results so far, and appears
benefits continue to rollin... am up for meeting via call or video to discuss... thanks so much for setting me off on this journey! I've been watching all your videos
Dr Berry is so authentic and real . Talks load of common sense. Genuine Respect for this man . Hero 🙏.
Two REAL doctors
Carnivore diet was hard for me to start and stick to. It's been 2 months now and my body and appetite is finally used to it and Im now just eating the basic meat (beef), water, eggs and butter is natural. Also, eating really basic is helping with my inflammation problems, my autoimmune issues and skin issues etc. I reiterate that it has been really hard overcoming carbs and cravings but having little successes here and there and not giving in lead to bigger successes and also through perseverance I can finally say I am now a full blown carnivore eater and so happy. My skin is getting better and I don't have the flare ups in my skin like I used to. I sleep really well. I think more clearly and I have more energy. Thank you for all those that go against the grain and teach and preach the carnivore diet because it is working so well for me, I just wish I had heard about it sooner in my life.
Hey that's great! I'm really glad to hear that!
Actually set a reminder… first time ever. This will be riveting.
Thank you Eileen, I hope it lived up to expectations!
I had so much energy at the beginning I could hardly sleep. It evened out snoring quit. Then I got sick 14 days is real. Stayed on it subsided in a day. Then it really began. So much healing! Yes I still have a couple vices that need to go. I will address once I’m not a newbie to this way of life. Loving it evidently I must have become depressed on the other diet. I used to love sing and dancing around the house. It took over me on Saturday I suddenly realized this and the fact I must have been depressed. So happy getting excited on what’s to come. Loving life 🎉
I'm so glad I found both you guys and Dr shawn Baker to you guys have changed my life forever im 36 years old grew up on the typical American diet lots of fast food soda pops alot of beers and just garbage was looking like shit constantly feeling like shit always getting sick every other week with whatever is going around was 260 lbs now I've been eating pretty much just meat dairy eggs and some seafood. I do have occasional olives and sour sauerkraut and I do have coffee every morning
For about 3 weeks now I feel and look tremendously better I've lost 20lbs so far and I sleep 100 times better my heart rhythm is back to normal my muscles look like they are growing and I'm not even working out yet im feeling better more and more everyday thank you guys for everything you do you guys are true Doctors actually helping people instead of keeping people sick and pushing drugs thank you.
Wonderful that you are making changes at your age. I so wish I’d know about this when I was on my 30s or younger.
I’m so thankful too, but wish I’d learned it at your age. You’ll totally benefit in the long run! God bless you
My A1C dropped from 8.5 to 6.5 in 2 months on carnivore doing nothing but changing my diet and I lost 40 pounds . I feel so much healthier now I started walking 1/2 hour a day and I hope my next check up in 6 months that I won't have diabetes 2.
Do you mind terribly if I asked you if you are male or female? I am a female 68-year-old diabetic and I'm wondering if this could actually happen for me as well. The only reason I asked if you are male or female is that I know in general men's metabolism is much higher than ours and they tend to lose weight more easily anyway if they change their diet. I just want some hope that this could actually work for me
@@jetryan624 I'm 53 and a male. Good luck.
I pass your videos to everyone.
Please never ever stop.. this information is crucial. Thanks you
At 71, just learning about all of this. Been scrambling for time to watch more videos and sharing with a few friends. I started with Dr Berg Healthy Keto; it was life changing and made huge health improvements and successful weight loss. Lots of supplements, 8-10 cups daily veggies with unlimited greens. Then came oxalate stones; one stone removed and five smaller ones to hopefully pass. So here I am having decided to transition to Carnivore; still trying to wrap my head around all this. I am way more impressed about what seems like “the next level”. Not many doctors like you guys. Simply put; Lustwig, Baker, both of you and a few others are docs that are naturally drawn to doing right by yourselves and others. Thank you. Good experience ordering my mineral drops with Dr Berry’s discount code. You both have a genuine call to your medical professions and are doing much good. Thank you all.
73 years of inflammation came to a screaching halt when I adopted the Lion Diet, one year ago.
I'm now 74 and fit!
Two of my favorite people! I’m on my carnivore journey now for almost 3 weeks and I can’t believe I’ve lived 38 years without feeling this good.
Oh wow, this is so dope. I absolutely love Dr. Berry, I never miss a video or a live. I also follow Neisha, his wife. So glad to see you guys together, even if it is a premier. I look forward to it.
When i live carnivore i feel best and blood sugars are in range. But if i bake and taste cake i get sick headcahes, inflammation and put weight on straight away. Its that direct. So back to carnivore and body settles down and brain clears and weight slowly goes down. Blood suagrs reduce too. This is the best elmination diet for modern humans and we are indebted to these brillant doctors brave andncaring enough to let us all know about this radical but logical way of eating and living.
Dr Berry is so hilarious 🤣 love listening to him.
These 2 are my Dr.s !!!! The proof is in the pudding. I've been Keto 3 years but have struggled on and off for 6 months and gained some weight. I'm on Day 9 doing Carnivore. I'm challenging myself to 90 days Carnivore and will re-evaluate after that if I continue or go back to ketovore. Thank you both!! I've tried to tell people plants are trying to kill you. They think I'm nuts. That's okay!! They WILL see the results in 90 days! 😁👊
Day 43. Update and finishing watching this video. Down 20 pounds!
The MINUTE you have the master, Ken Berry, on your show, you have made it my friend....Amazing interview Dr. Chaffee...Keep up the great work and content!!
Thank you for calling out the stupid, unfounded things Dr.'s say.
Although predictable, this is an interview to save. It's an interview you can share to non-carnevores, without stupidities, without complications, just basic facts and logic. Thank you very much! ❤️
No problem, I'm glad you liked it!
The last five minutes from Dr. Ken were gold!
Ive watched a ton of both of your videos and its amazing to hear the truth from doctors for once . So sick of the lies and corruption in the health care system and food companys . Carnivore has changed my life drastically and im sharing it as well with anyone that will listen
Isn't that the funny thing...Dr. Chaffee said it right there if we get away from what we shouldn't be doing, to do what we should be doing our "heath care" system would have less of a burden. I recently became a Patrion for Dr. Berry for this reason. We need to support these doctors who are actively looking out for us and stop buying drugs from Big Pharma who only care about their bottom line. My daughter was recently diagnosed with PCOS and Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee have done more to help her with their teachings than the Metformin she was prescribed. It really is time for us to start realizing we are being lied to and our loved ones suffer due to unwillingness to believe that maybe we got it wrong and it is time to rethink our position on nutrition.
You gentlemen have helped me and my health so much. Now my husband is benefiting and I even suggested it to my sister in law for my nephew’s chrons. Thank you for everything.
Just watched this (2 years later and STILL so good). Hats off to both of you. Loved hearing the talk about FIBER. Omg, fiber. I know Dr. Berry's take on fiber from a few years ago, but I needed to hear it again because SO MANY experts and doctors that have 1000% credibility with me INSIST that fiber will save your life (and damage it if you skip it). WTF? So I needed to hear it again. Love both of your passion and commitment to truly help people not be on meds (and Dr. Berry's use of the word "sheeee-it"multiple times to underscore his passion!) I said no to keto forever, and my husband and I finally took the plunge and am so happy we did (over 2 and half years now) and I'm actually considering carnivore. (But i heard from my newly graduated nurse friend that it could destroy my kidneys and give me cancer. 🤦♀😂) Thank you again! So happy you both are in this world!
I love the humility of doctors who are on carnivore… no ego, just the truth. 💗💗💗
I’ve been low carb/fasting 8 1/2 months. Down 42 pounds now. I tried introducing beans and lentils but saw my weight increase that week. I’m convinced I’m hyper sensitive to carbohydrates in any form so I’ve been trying carnivore now. Seems to be working. Feeling really good! I can finally do pull-ups!
