Hey doc, just wanted to say thank you for everything I've learned from you over the past year and a half. I just got off the phone with a nurse from my insurance company who was blown away that I don't eat carbs, and have remission from my Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. She never once told me I was killing myself, and genuinely seemed fascinated by this. Even better, she felt no need to try and push biologics. I honestly feel like this is one of the best victories I've had with medical staff.
Excellent interview. So pleased to see someone being brave enough to actually say they refused to comply with the vaccination requirements. Good on Richard. Thank you to you both.
What a stunning show. Thank you. Been keto 6 yrs, aged 55 and trying to build muscle. Fell into the "you need carbs" trap. So now I'm fatter, sicker. What an idiot. Day 3 of clean ketovore (not carnivore as eat avocado, olives and drink a coffee). Already feeling sooooo much better. But mentally I needed this. I'm not an athlete, but I do want to be stronger in my old age.
@@Mikaeel84 No brother, I was natural... One of the reasons I pulled away from competing was that if I wanted to progress further, it would have meant gravitating down that route. I'm not against it, It's just not something I wanted to do.

I do appreciate plants in our environment. I watch them to make sure their healthy ferns orchids on desks or side tables. I don’t eat them but appreciate them. Placement of flowers and trees in the yard are pleasing to my eyes.
I was forced to be on cross country in high school and to do a ton of sports because I was so athletic. I liked sports but not being forced to perform. My coaches were mad because as a type 1 diabetic and as a kid who said he was a carnivore I thought carbs were the enemy and I fasted (instead of carb-loading) before games and competitions. Even with my results, I was reprimanded.
I hope you are still on the right track, and standing up. If you’re older now, you can have more authority and send a letter to those that reprimanded you. Send them a Dr Berry video or one of Dr Chaffee’s about carnivore and diabetes.
Brilliant, talk. I know this was not the main thrust of this interview but it was so heartening to hear yet another person who refused to take the treatment, even though there was a tremendous pressure and he had to miss a competition, like Djokovic. I think that when you feel extremely well, like we do eating only animal foods, you are very reticent to put unknown drugs inside the body.
Numerous people are covering the ongoing effects of the treatment and how it is impacting peoples long term health. Some have moved from youtube as its controlled with what you can say. I am so glad I saw through the BS and hard declined too.
Great stuff! Carnivore since January, my fellow tennis players have seen my progress in endurance, I tell them how I got there but their carb addiction is stronger than their will to improve.. But I do understand them, for the rest of my life I will be a recovering sugar addict, but at least my cheat days are becoming all the time less frequent.
@@afisanaa No guilt here but wondering if "treat day" is too positive considering the things I put inside me then. I'd like to think the "normal" days as treat days since I'm treating myself with the best possible food. Maybe "vice days"... lol
@@vanillaghetto I don't consider them as failures either, in 99% of the cases they are also planned due to some social events. Maybe it's my failure to resist the social pressure, although I'm becoming more resistant all the time...
The biggest problem for us carnivores is what they are currently doing to animal vaccines. The coming MRNA vaccinations for livestock and poultry is going to be major issue going forward for us to remain healthy . I know what I’m talking about here and adequately qualified to do so to say the least. Be careful my friends , know your local livestock farmers and know what they’ve been fed and inoculated against.
WHAT can we do? We must organize and fast. I was a founding member of the Atlanta chapter of March against Monsanto 11 years ago. It did have some impact. I focused 9n education of the public.
Thanks for all the great information doc! I’ve been carnivore for the past month and have already seen a big difference. Can’t wait to see what kind of athlete I become 6 months or a year down the line. You are my favorite person in the carnivore space. Your intelligence, athleticism and kindness are unmatched!
Thank you so much for the information. I have found it so interesting. I have a husband who is aging badly and I am trying to help him. It is so hard to go against the medical community.
We are 74 & 71, I finally just told my husband we can do this carnivore thing or just forget it and we will end up in a nursing home and give everything we have worked for to a nursing home instead of our boys. That is how I got my hubby on board.
Keto/carnivore has normalized my bp where I was 160/90. Completely off meds now. Keto had been recomended to me before but i was afraid to eat fat. Once i started watching you and people like dr berry and it was expalined to me how it works it made completes sense and i threw caution to the wind.
Top drawer presentation gentlemen thank you from Gary, full time judo coach age 64 with the health and energy of a 25 year old on beef, eggs and butter. One thing you possibly could have mentioned was lack of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS. So not only better performance but more available training time through reduced inflammation.
This is one of the best condensed, practical, and illuminating discussions on why we eat this way and how the "plate" is so incredibly counterintuitive to health and performance! Thank you, Mr. Smith! I got teary-eyed towards the end when you talk about the kids, Dr. Chaffee. I have a 3 year old and it's quite difficult sometimes to raise a little one in a world where sugar dominates and everywhere we go, people want to give her candy and sweets. I want her to be able to reach her potential, and like you said: be well, and able to just focus on her goals and dreams!! Thanks for a fantastic discussion guys, I'll be sharing this one for sure!
@vanillaghetto Yes and no. Ultimately yes, I decide what my kid eats at this point in time. But someday, she'll be grown and making her own decisions, so i think it's wise to consider how to teach nutrition in a way that encourages critical thinking vs dogma. I also think there's a good argument for a sort of 'cultural' exception at times. Dr. Schindler (who was also interviewed on this channel) talks in his book "Eat Like a Human" about orthorexia and how having an extremely strict list of "good" and "bad" foods (while objectively correct) was harming his family mentally, including 3 young kids. Most of us were probably taught (or shown by behavior) that all fats were "bad" as kids, and now have to unlearn that to form better habits. That's not an argument to justify including unhealthy foods, it's just pointing out that that kind of black and white mindset around food can lead to problems later (personal experience). If I ultimately want my kid to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle when she's out on her own, I need to make nutrition education my focus, and also lead by example. Telling her she can never have a cupcake at a birthday party or a cookie at Grandma's house on Christmas is not the way to teach a healthy relationship with food IMO. But educating her about what those foods are (from both an objective/nutrition standpoint and a cultural one) will allow her to develop her ability to make smart choices as she grows up. Not out of "fear of bad foods" but out of knowledge of the risks and benefits.
Loved this, and my body building partner is finely convinced he don't need carbs anymore. He is going carnivore tomorrow. He didn't even cooked rice tonight and just ate his goulash. So happy he's finally convinced. I've been carnivore for a year now. The results are amazing. I have RA and I'm now pain-free. I'm happier have more energy and as a bonus I lost 70lbs. Thanks for this great podcast. X
this is an excellent information edit - lately I have thought up a new term " Speaking directly from the petri dish " when people are experimenting and learning from their own lives -- I swear I hope this gentleman gets a chance to have a crowd stand up and applaud him -- One person clapping over here , across the pond !
Carnivore for a month here. Loving it. Never felt better in my life (44 yo) I play 5 a side football once a week. My energy is endless compared to before, complete transformation. On carbs I would empty the tank in 10 minutes then look to topup with some glucose heavy 'sports' drink during the game, that would take 10min to kick-in so I would get a second wind for the end. Now its beast mode from beginning to end, incomparable.
@@sillybilly7467 yep, and bacon, and I eat fish too. I use an air-fryer for my steak. It's an essential piece of equipment because it means I'm not smoking out the kitchen (GF hates that).
Half way into this and I thought 'what in my garden right now could I eat?' Answer.. Birds, squirrels and that's it! I can't eat grass or hedges, trees or flowers! Would be no different if I was out in the fields right now, except there's deer not too far from me in the UK! Gee.. I wonder what we are meant to eat!! 🙃 Man I'm seeing that plate of food differently now! It always makes me lol when I pass a local eggless cake shop.. Why the hell would you want an eggless cake when the only healthy ingredient in it is the eggs!!! 🤣 Great podcast! So well and clearly explained! I don't see how anyone could refute this! And why would they want to? Well done guys. 👍👍👍
Outstanding review of the chemical processes and natural advantages of the Carnivore and Low carb Keto menu lifestyles. Much appreciate the level-headed discussion. Thanks!
Fantastic. Ive listened to hundreds of hours of carnivor podcasts, and gathered a lot of information. This episode has sewn all the parts together. Thank you so much x
Wow what amazing information, all given away for free. Richard you are a legend ! By the way, I'm 44 years old, and I'm now on day 48 without taking a day off from the gym. On carnivore you just keep going and going.
Just started the carnivore diet day 11 at 50 years old, I do weighs twice a day and I'm down 6kg already and I wasn't that fat. Started on a saturday and was a bit flat mon, tue but now my energy is through the roof and my lifts are getting better. Looking forward to the coming weeks to see how much fat I lose and how much muscle I can pack on. Thank you Anthony for all your great knowledge.
Leg cramps is almost certainly electrolyte depletion; replace the sodium, magnesium, and potassium with an electrolyte replacement drink. Consuming carbs to prevent leg cramps is NOT the correct / optimum solution. Hydrate with electrolytes as you perform / compete and prevent the occurrence of cramps. As I understand it; that is what I practice and I don't get leg cramps or consume carbohydrates.
Regarding muscle cramps, simply taking 1 cap of magnesium glycinate 500 mg works for me. However I am curious to know why my sodium, chloride and potassium are low. My doctor only mentioned possible ADH - I have hzad hydrocephalus and have a brain shunt (ventriculoperitoneal) . Could my ICP be elevated perhaps blocking some drainage?
Excellent podcast gents! To elaborate further on the performance side, this is strictly anecdotal but i thought i should share it anyway, cause this is the only issue i experinced so far with carnivore. I was up until last spring performing powerlifting at a semi-pro level until i injured my back. My best lifts up until that point were (kg) 237,5 squat, 147,5 bench and 265 deadlift at 79kg bw 180cm height. My nutrition strategy was 1g~ protein per lb bodyweight, 0,5-1g fat per kg bodyweight and fill up the rest with carbs. A typical macro split would be 160-220g protein, 40-80g fat and 350-500g carbs, depending on my activity level on said day. When i injured my back, i went straight to carnivore. And the only thing that i can complain about is severly decreased performance in primarly bench and squat, deadlift's aswell but not as severely. I have my theories as why this would be the case and why it would effect powerlfiting capabilites negatively (leverages of decreased water retention). But the positives effects is worth sacrificing powerlifting for if i won't ever make it back. I've read similiar experncies from other powerlifters going carnivore over on reddit, question. Is there any practicing powerlifter who solely runs on meat that you guys can refer me to? Since it seems to be easier to put on muscle on carnivore, it should overtime compensate for the lack of stability/leverage decrease. But i haven't got that far yet.
Well I'm a recreational general strength training guy myself and my lifts dropped off considerably until about 3 months into the diet change. My recovery has improved as well. I train heavy compounds full body 3 days per week. I noticed I no longer get fatigued during my workout and I am slowly adding strength each session with reps or weight. I used to only be able to recover from 2 full body sessions a week and now it's easy to handle 3. I don't take deloads and continue to lift heavy top sets of 3-5 reps per exercise along with 2 lighter pump sets for assistance lifts like low back, rear delts, biceps and triceps, neck and abs. Three 2 hour workouts at 44 yrs old with no more back or shoulder pain. It gets better as the inflammation leaves and the steak increases repair to muscle tissue without having to fix other shit first. I'm no competitor but I'm growing bigger and stronger week by week pain free. All while remaining at the same bodyweight of 200 lbs. I eat 4000kcal per day and cannot gain weight. I am leaning out and obviously getting gains though. I'm almost a size 32 waist now. Nuts. I'm only 5 months into this lifestyle but I do have vodka seltzer every week. Doesn't cause joint pains like beer does haaa! Good luck. Mark Bell would be a decent resource but he started eating fruit again and rice. Booo!
@@keto-pro287 always. I kind of wish we could have access to that awesome presentation, perhaps ppt file, but I am fully satisfied with you going over it so well in this interview
Consider this: in the northern Finland, berries ripen late summer / early fall just in time before the extremely harsh winter. Bears load up (and humans, too) heavy and then survive through the winter like this.
Left a message before. Lost 136lb at 56yo. Still 55lb to lose. Been strict carnivore since Dec 1st 2022. But struggling to lose more now. Listening for tips. Q: any specific things I can do? I am 95% beef. OMAD. I exercise most days.
Are you resistance training rather than cardio? If not, this would be my first change. If you are resistance training and strict carnivore, your body composition will be changing as will bone density. Don't focus on weight.
Brilliant description of a profession. Happy you didn't get jabbed. Happy you chose health. How is your visceral fat?!! That would be interesting. You could meet Dr Sean Omara
Did I hear Mr. Smith mention that he works with clients with PKD? If that is that case I would love if you did an episode about it. My ex-husband and two of my sons have PKD.
All of these are true... especially the cellular respiration as I had doubts before but understanding the process on how our body treats the consumption of ketones makes sense... I have workout videos proof that these are phenomenal... I also experienced asking me my diet and lifestyle and they were doubting it... Reality is so sad
@ Richard -What about track athletes for example 400m, 800m -mile athletes? We know about this way of eating for marathons and triathlons etc but what about those shorter high intensity events. Can you honestly be as competitive as the carb loaded athletes out there ? If so ,how and what would you suggest I do to optimise my Keto lifestyle to be competitive at these events? I’d so appreciate any input.
Can you please do a video on gut health with carnivore diet or lead me to one if already done. I might be able to explain the never-ending push for fiber. Many will say there is fiber that comes from only certain plants that feed the good bacteria in your gut and my understanding with Carnivore is that you don't need to do that. I'm not opposed to fermented foods or dairy if you can tolerate it but I don't do any fiber and rare occasion on the fermented food like kerfir but my gut health without fiber has been great!
You definitely don't need, or want, fiber on a carnivore diet. You get perfect gut bacteria on carnivore, and you get short chain fatty acids to feed your gut lining from being in ketosis. Watch my video called Fiber, Constipation, and Diet as well as my video on autoimmune diseases and both of my interviews with my friend Dr Pran Yoganathan, who is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist.
Yea I never took it either I had the original covid when I was working in China I was keto then just getting into it and covid never effected me just a wet nose and warmer body. I'm ketovore carnivore still aged 48
Fasting in a fat-adapted state is really easy - 1,2,3 days - no problem.
Fasting in a carbohydrate adapted state is HELL.
Facts. Carb cravings on a fast while not in ketosis is torture.
Hey doc, just wanted to say thank you for everything I've learned from you over the past year and a half.

I honestly feel like this is one of the best victories I've had with medical staff.

Well done Rich! Thank you and don't stop sharing your knowledge. Inspiring ...
Excellent podcast gents!
To elaborate further on the performance side, this is strictly anecdotal but i thought i should share it anyway, cause this is the only issue i experinced so far with carnivore.
I was up until last spring performing powerlifting at a semi-pro level until i injured my back. My best lifts up until that point were (kg) 237,5 squat, 147,5 bench and 265 deadlift at 79kg bw 180cm height. My nutrition strategy was 1g~ protein per lb bodyweight, 0,5-1g fat per kg bodyweight and fill up the rest with carbs. A typical macro split would be 160-220g protein, 40-80g fat and 350-500g carbs, depending on my activity level on said day.
When i injured my back, i went straight to carnivore. And the only thing that i can complain about is severly decreased performance in primarly bench and squat, deadlift's aswell but not as severely. I have my theories as why this would be the case and why it would effect powerlfiting capabilites negatively (leverages of decreased water retention). But the positives effects is worth sacrificing powerlifting for if i won't ever make it back.
I've read similiar experncies from other powerlifters going carnivore over on reddit, question. Is there any practicing powerlifter who solely runs on meat that you guys can refer me to? Since it seems to be easier to put on muscle on carnivore, it should overtime compensate for the lack of stability/leverage decrease. But i haven't got that far yet.
Well I'm a recreational general strength training guy myself and my lifts dropped off considerably until about 3 months into the diet change. My recovery has improved as well. I train heavy compounds full body 3 days per week. I noticed I no longer get fatigued during my workout and I am slowly adding strength each session with reps or weight. I used to only be able to recover from 2 full body sessions a week and now it's easy to handle 3. I don't take deloads and continue to lift heavy top sets of 3-5 reps per exercise along with 2 lighter pump sets for assistance lifts like low back, rear delts, biceps and triceps, neck and abs. Three 2 hour workouts at 44 yrs old with no more back or shoulder pain. It gets better as the inflammation leaves and the steak increases repair to muscle tissue without having to fix other shit first. I'm no competitor but I'm growing bigger and stronger week by week pain free. All while remaining at the same bodyweight of 200 lbs. I eat 4000kcal per day and cannot gain weight. I am leaning out and obviously getting gains though. I'm almost a size 32 waist now. Nuts. I'm only 5 months into this lifestyle but I do have vodka seltzer every week. Doesn't cause joint pains like beer does haaa! Good luck. Mark Bell would be a decent resource but he started eating fruit again and rice. Booo!
@@nickvillalobos8249 Sounds like i should give it some more time then, thanks a bunch for your detailed answer.
Thanks Doctor Chaffee - good info
Very informative interview once again. Thanks Dr Chaffee and Richard. Learned a lot
Great news, I'm so glad you enjoyed! Rich
@@keto-pro287 always. I kind of wish we could have access to that awesome presentation, perhaps ppt file, but I am fully satisfied with you going over it so well in this interview
Consider this: in the northern Finland, berries ripen late summer / early fall just in time before the extremely harsh winter. Bears load up (and humans, too) heavy and then survive through the winter like this.
Left a message before. Lost 136lb at 56yo. Still 55lb to lose. Been strict carnivore since Dec 1st 2022. But struggling to lose more now. Listening for tips.
Q: any specific things I can do? I am 95% beef. OMAD. I exercise most days.
What’s your bf% if you don’t mind me asking ?
Are you resistance training rather than cardio? If not, this would be my first change.
If you are resistance training and strict carnivore, your body composition will be changing as will bone density. Don't focus on weight.

Everyone swears by walking to lose weight and preserve muscle. Maybe work that in?
Great information, thanks for this invaluable information. Week 3 carnivore 😊
Keep us the awesome work! Rich
Marvelous presentation by Richard
Loved this video thanks for posting
Great news, I'm so glad you enjoyed!
I learned a new medical term: Torrential diahorrea.
Excellent presentation. Thank you both.
Thank you for listening, glad you enjoyed! Rich
Awesome interview! 👏👍
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed. Rich
Can you do a podcast on heart CAC score! I am sure a carnivore way of eating would help
I would like to know more fitness competitions coaches in US with this dense knowledge in carnivore athletes.
What a great podcast! Loved the presentation 🤩. Many thanks
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Glad you enjoyed. :-)
Brilliant description of a profession. Happy you didn't get jabbed. Happy you chose health. How is your visceral fat?!! That would be interesting. You could meet Dr Sean Omara
Great conversation fellas!
Thank you so much!
Did I hear Mr. Smith mention that he works with clients with PKD? If that is that case I would love if you did an episode about it. My ex-husband and two of my sons have PKD.
Amazing to not have to take in any fuel other than electrolytes during a Tri!
Fantastic interview! So grateful i found you guys!
All of these are true... especially the cellular respiration as I had doubts before but understanding the process on how our body treats the consumption of ketones makes sense... I have workout videos proof that these are phenomenal... I also experienced asking me my diet and lifestyle and they were doubting it... Reality is so sad
Love you guys ❤
Way too kind Sabrinah, thank you!
Awesome interview!!

Steaks > Cakes

Compelling presentation
The Welsh are the only ones who I can't watch at double speed. And given I am Welsh, I think that's a testament to how fast we speak!
Hahah... totally agree!
Excellent 👌
Really good got a lot out of this one
Richard Smith. Please share your training protocol 🙏💪👍
Good guest
Tremendous discussion! Thanks for sharing.
Off to the gym now 🏋️♂️ 💪🏼
@ Richard -What about track athletes for example 400m, 800m -mile athletes? We know about this way of eating for marathons and triathlons etc but what about those shorter high intensity events. Can you honestly be as competitive as the carb loaded athletes out there ? If so ,how and what would you suggest I do to optimise my Keto lifestyle to be competitive at these events? I’d so appreciate any input.
Great interview and info!
Can you please do a video on gut health with carnivore diet or lead me to one if already done. I might be able to explain the never-ending push for fiber. Many will say there is fiber that comes from only certain plants that feed the good bacteria in your gut and my understanding with Carnivore is that you don't need to do that. I'm not opposed to fermented foods or dairy if you can tolerate it but I don't do any fiber and rare occasion on the fermented food like kerfir but my gut health without fiber has been great!
You definitely don't need, or want, fiber on a carnivore diet. You get perfect gut bacteria on carnivore, and you get short chain fatty acids to feed your gut lining from being in ketosis. Watch my video called Fiber, Constipation, and Diet as well as my video on autoimmune diseases and both of my interviews with my friend Dr Pran Yoganathan, who is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist.
@@anthonychaffeemd Totally agree!
Consuming carbs can be compared to throwing straw onto the fire; keto or (preferably) carnivore can be compared to throwing a log on the fire.
Amazing presentation, learned so much. Thank you both. Sub'd.
Great podcast 👏
Smart guy for sure... another reason for me to stay focused on my lifestyle Meat Eater 🍖
Yea I never took it either I had the original covid when I was working in China I was keto then just getting into it and covid never effected me just a wet nose and warmer body. I'm ketovore carnivore still aged 48
