Episode Description from the Publisher

407: If you are wanting to lose weight, get off medications, improve your brain health, metabolic health, reverse diabetes, and even help with your gut issues, this episode is JUST for you! Oh, and you don't need to spend any money on a special supplement, pill, or biohacking device. - Today's episode may be my favorite interview not just this year, but in all the 4 years I’ve had this podcast! I know that's saying a lot, but honestly, we didn't even scratch the surface of what we covered with Dr. Anthony Chaffee. You may have heard of him, but if you haven't, Dr. Anthony Chaffee is a medical doctor who earned his degree from the Royal College of Surgeons and has worked as a neurosurgical registrar and resident in Australia, while often coming back to the U.S.He is a hardcore carnivore, or "strict" carnivore, and has personally experienced major health benefits. He has also seen his own patients reverse type 1 & 2 diabetes, get off all medications, reverse dementia and Alzheimer's, improve gut issues such as Crohn's and colitis, reduce inflammation in the body, and so much more, all by removing plants and eating meat. We also discuss the corrupt food industry and the literature behind studies that say you need fiber or that carbs aren't the issue, because many may not know that the people and companies funding these studies will, more often than not, sway the outcome in their favor.
