My dad has suffered from horrible Crohns since he was a teenager. Multiple surgeries. He adopted a carnivore diet over the summer with me. He is off all of his meds. No symptoms. Feels incredible. But he ended up eating some veggies the other day, and found himself with bowel obstruction. His eyes are open now that he has to stay on this narrow road. Thanks Anthony for all you do. You are saving lives. You’ve changed mine and now my dad. God bless you
I am encouraged. Entyvio stopped working and went to Stelara. Jordan Peterson turned me onto Carnivore. I am coming off of Stelara gradually. CDAI score of 0, 2 years ago. Feeling great and hoping to make at least another 20 years. 73 now
Good for you. ‘carnivore’ did nit work for my mother, or for me. BTW, I was NOT told to eat masses of greens and little meat. I am surprised any doctors would say that. In fact VERY surprised to the point of disbelief. I was advised to carefully analyze what I ate to ascertain whether there was an allergy. There did not seem to be in my case. The advice I had that worked for me (for decades) was to eat a balanced diet including meat and vegetables but only ‘whole’ foods… not over-processed sh.. (my term!). ‘red meat and water’ made me iller. I eat a balanced diet, don’t smoke or drink alcohol. The only thing I have noticed about eating veg is that if I eat too much raw (as opposed to cooked) vegetables I get cramps - otherwise no problem with vegetables. No one diet seems to work fir everyone, it is irresponsible to claim it will . I know someone who lives healthily on only meat, many more with Crohn’s who eat a balanced diet and are well. For me too much bread is not good, neither is none. Over processed foods like soy curds (tofu) are bad for me, perhaps not for others.
@@andyc7747 For me it is only fibre in some veg (broccoli) and eg rice husks and eheat fibre that are lroblematic. Other cooked veg is fine for me (indeed its absence is a problem)
Bahahahaha the Chaffee Protocol. Love it 😂 I cant wait to tell the GI in my next appointment that I'm on the Chaffee Protocol. Its going to spread like wild fire. Next T-shirt slogan 😝Thank you Doc. Coming from someone who's had Crohn's for 24 years, its so important to have video's like this to reiterate that it does bloody work. GI's unfortunately to want to think outside the box because the reality is they'll lose $ if people start feeling better by doing Carnivore. Ill let you know their reaction to the Protocol 😂
After nearly 30 years of debilitating, ulcerative colitis and doctors telling me there was no cure and just to take their drugs I found that carnivore gave me my life back! Within two weeks, I was practically symptom-free and for the first time in all these years, my gut was not bleeding! I can't tell you how many times I've had to change my clothing because of accidents! I had to drive all these years with a potty bucket in my car in case of an emergency. i've had to pull over and run into the woods! I've had the worst pain over eating one bite of the wrong food. My doctors did me a huge disservice and when I asked if diet made a difference, they always said no! Something needs to change because people should not have to suffer. I used Humira for eight years and every drug you can imagine and the side effects were worse than dealing with the disease. I'm finally free and I just can't believe how amazing this has been! Not only that I'm finally able to lose some weight and I've dropped a full size. I have another size or two to go, but that doesn't even matter as much as feeling as good as I do. I also add fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, acne, athletes foot, brain fog, and all of those are nearly gone. I am only 71 days in! oh and I've paid for some very expensive programs to get healing plus years of seeing naturopathic doctors. I've been well on my journey for a long time and eliminating things so this is something I'm used to doing. For anybody that struggles with eliminating foods just think of it this way, "what CAN I have? What gives me the best life?" And know that you are worth it! Somebody just told me to give it 90 days. Well, give it at least 30 if you can't do 90. It will change your life.
I was diagnosed over 25 years ago. I have had several surgeries and have tried a number of medication driven treatments before arriving at a low/no carb diet that focuses on meat. Not entirely carnivore but dang close. The exact cause of Crohn’s Disease is largely unknown. Genetics, environment, medications, or other factors within the gut. Even removal of the appendix could lead to factors that increase risk of Crohn’s. A “bad diet” is not the cause.
@@darthdurkelthewise320 Well I’m definitely not an expert or even a doctor but I can definitely recognize the evidence seen. The food I was eating was killing me and definitely aggravating my Crohn’s, does that mean it was the cause? Who knows but what I do know is by changing the food I ate I was cured and btw, so was my IBS that I suffered with for over 30 years. So food did fix it. There are also many people in the carnivore community that have had the exact same results as I have. Cause and effect?
What a difference in Mitchell from his documentary to here. He’s now bright, vibrant, and amazingly articulate. I fully understand his outrage with the doctors and specialists after seeing how much pain he was in. Congratulations, Mitchell. 🎉
I've always had an iron gut until I went carnivore and now if I eat ultra processed foods, especially anything with wheat like pasta and noodles, I'll have stabbing pains for 24 hours that make me cry and I have a pretty good pain tolerance. It's crazy how responsive my body is now at telling me what it doesn't like.
@lovelylora1700 I'm sticking to carnivore long term for mental health reasons. I'm autistic and have struggled with anxiety, depression, OCD and intrusive thoughts for many years. It's all gone now until I eat a veg or grains even once, then the noise comes back. I have clarity thanks to carnivore.
i never seen so much improvement with my colitis/crohns since starting carnivore.. falling off the wagon and going back to plant based/processed foods/fastfood brought back all of my usual symptoms and pain.. im convinced carnivore is the way to go maybe not cure but DRASTICALLY improve symptoms
I have been on the carnivore diet for nearly a year and I always used to feel guilty if I had a few carbs every now and then But I don't anymore because it helps to slow down the oxalate dumping which caused severe pain in my right knee in the middle of the night Some people with really serious conditions do need to be completely carnivore and that is a tough, but necessary protocol Words can't describe how grateful I am to people like you guys for your dedication to helping so many people I watch videos like this on a regular basis to keep my motivation high Without this ongoing support, it would be really hard to stay on track Thank you so much
Awesome!!! How long did it take?? I had ulcerative colitis, and most of it’s gone, but I do still have a tiny bit of ulceration in the colon and IBS symptoms with diarrhea.
sorry but crohns is never cured. You can be in remission but never cured from crohns. I just had my colon removed because of crohns. You can have allof your crohns removed and it can reappear from your eyes to your toes .
I had gastric problems my entire childhood and finally diagnosed at 25. By 30, I was having so much pain and multiple ER trips. At age 33, I found the SCD diet and it was the first time anyone ever told me that diet mattered. I had remission of symptoms in 2 weeks. However, my symptoms didn't totally stay away as I gradually added more and more plants amd raw food back in, thinking that was the ultimate goal to have a healthy gut. Fast forward to early last year when I heard about Carnivore at age 42. Cutting out plants was the best thing ever for my gut. I will still have a bit of plant food now but stay more ketovore. Most meals are carnivore though and I feel amazing. I meet so many people that won't even entertain the thought of restricting their diet. If I hadn't hit my limit of pain, I wonder how much harder it would have been to change? My moment of change really came in the middle of a painful episode when I couldn't get out of the bathroom to make my 3 year old lunch. I questioned my ability to stay healthy enough to take care of him. It was then I decided to dig deeper than what the doctors told me. I'm forever grateful that regular people put their stories out there for others to find. Keep spreading the word!!
My 9 year old niece was just diagnosed with Crohn’s this week. I’ve been yelling at my sister for years to stop feeding her (and of course the whole family) so much junk, and even to go carnivore because plants indeed are not good for you.
Keep rallying for the poor girl and show the family and the girl this video. If times ever get unbearably painful she’ll remember the video and consider going on the carnivores diet. She’s very young someone needs to keep rallying for her if her main family are ignorant, even selfish not wanting change, who knows!!😊
Ego and lack of curiosity are both in full force in so many doctors offices and hospitals. Maybe - just maaaaybe - there is data that you don’t know, Docs!!! Thank you both so much for this wonderful discussion and for your love of humans 🤍
Don’t have chrons but has severe gut issues to the point where I didn’t want to continue life since the pain was so bad. Found carnivore and it saved my life. Thank you for sharing!
I am 67 years old now. When I was a child as far back as I can remember I was always sickly. I would vomit up my breakfast almost daily. And felt nauseous every day except when I didn’t eat. Then at about 12 years of age I started doing better until my early to mid twenties. Somewhere around that time I started having bowel problems and the nausea and vomiting returned. I went to the doctor and after about ten weekly visits, tests and astronomical medical bills for my employer, I was told that I had IBS, severe irritable bowel syndrome, a constant low grade fever, blood in the urine, a kidney stone, chone’s like symptoms, ulcerative colitis,possibly cancer and that I would never get better and that my bowel was constricted down to less than a quarter of an inch. They needed to remove my large intestine and a part of my small intestine and give me a colostomy bag. I refused and stopped seeing doctors for several years. I instinctively stopped eating bread but suffered from severe diarrhea and fatigue for the next 18 years and was on disability for eight of those years. During that period of my life I also grew six tumors and diligently studied herbal medicine and the use of food as a treatment for diseases. I did have 4 of those tumors surgically removed and 2 of them shrank and eventually disappeared from the change in diet and the use of herbs. I also bought a glucometer and discovered that my blood sugar range went from 40 to over 400 when I ate. I went to the doctor and had my blood sugar tested and he said it was in the normal range and didn’t believe me. I also often had the lining of my mouth peeling off for no apparent reason. I finally quit eating grains and had some relief and returned to work. As a career carpenter I had a client who was a doctor and soon we became friends. He and his daughters had celiac disease. And his youngest daughter said one of her symptoms was that if she ate anything with gluten the inside of her mouth would peel. And the doctor and both of the daughters had chronic diarrhea. We decided that I have celiac disease. I began eating a gluten free low carb diet with limited improvement. I still was nauseous and vomitted a lot but had much less bowel symptoms. However my health was still not good. And I was still struggling. I got another glucometer and was now a diabetic. I was put on Metformin and it made me feel sick and I was not able to lower my glucose level to normal by following the doctor recommendations. Then I saw Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee on RUclips and began keto and saw my blood sugar go normal. So I quit the medication and told my doctor and he was okay with it. I am now carnivore for over 2 years. I still have some problems but am so much better. Although I got the Covid vaccine and then got Covid and now I think I have long Covid because I suffer from chronic fatigue. But I feel better when I increase my fat intake. Thanks to the doctors who are truly interested in helping people. God bless you.
Etymology can be very informative. The original meaning of the word MEAT in old English is FOOD, Sustinance, nourishment etc etc!!! And they say we are getting smarter!! Happy food eating people!! Thanks Dr Chaffe, Keep up the good work of jogging humanity’s memory! Love your work.
Diagnosed with crohns 10 years ago… been a battle back and forth. 10 years of a biologic infusion. 3 months ago I took a stand told the doctor I want to stop the meds, then I find out from the intern that I’m in the highest level of remission!??? It’s all about money 💴 we have to take a stand for our lives
Hope your brother watches and seriously tries this way of eating. It has helped me with my IBS and colitis more than any medication and therapies my doctors ever suggested.
I sent a video about carnivore and complete MS remission to two facebook friends with MS, and they both got extremely angry with me for even suggesting that a "fad diet" could cure their terrible disease. They continue to suffer and deteriorate. It goes back to the question at 17:40 -- what makes carnivore doctors different from others? Independence of mind. Is a person open to seeing new evidence with their own eyes and drawing their own conclusions?
I know that kind of people, too. Some of them do know they eat the wrong things. But they say they rather be sick and in pain then stopping to eat all the junk food they love/they are addicted to.
I was just using Carnivore as an Elimination Diet....hoping to find specific Food Sensitivities. Long Story Short... sensitivities went away quickly. Wheat was the main culprit. But THEN... a dozen other Problems started disappearing!! • ~Weekly Migrains gone • 35 pounds gone (4 months) • Knee and Shoulder pain and weakness gone (right shoulder PE going better - injured in accident). • Pre-diabetes gone • (Triglycerides/HDL) ratio improved >400% • Insomnia Gone • Brain Fog (nearly) gone. Memory improved • Snoring improved • Blood Pressure normal (no more meds) • No Diverticulitis in 4 months (nasty) • No Hunger... I mean 24 hours & no hunger (no binge eating for many months) • Grocery Bills cut in half Plants appear to be poisonous....and Red Meat appears to be curative.
I currently study to become a nurse, we havent talked much about nutrition but i have been told how awful fat from red meat is. ”Just imagine all the fat you pour down the drain going in your arteries” Didnt tell my teacher i just started the carnivore diet..
The frustration comes from the people we love who are so sick and discount it without ever trying it. All we can do is hope and pray they'll eventually give it a shot ❤
My daughter in law is a registered dietician and gets red in the face angry when I suggest anything that doesn't mimic the standard American diet. She weighs three hundred pounds...............
GI docs and nutritionist need to know about this option of eating. I only have part of my intestines and have diverticulosis and after suffering 10 years , I finally am living free of any diverticulitis episodes , no issues with diarrhea or constipation being plant/fiber free. If I can help one person, I am going to keep sharing. Hopefully after rejecting my suggestion as unrealistic, people will hear it often enough that they will give it a try and not have to suffer so. Keep sharing!
I had the same probs with the colon...had n colonoscopy, cause I often had blood too in poop and all those inflammations ( I m 56 and made a lot of sport which gave me a lot of probs with Arthrosis). I do Carnivor (I call it Ketovor) now since 2 years with most porkmeat!! Beefmeat and a lot of chees cream, milk and butter and eggs . I didn t feel better in my 30 th. So I ll stop it only, when westworld force me through their bad politics. That was best desicion in my life and I don t get tired to support those Docs like You, Dr Chaffee, Dr. Westman, Dr. Berg Dr. Baker and some influencer. Thanks a lot, to open my and others eyes!!! Sigi Oster/Germany
It's stopped my chrons disease too. Shame I didn't find out before I had my large bowel removed. Iv just done an interview with Dave Mac and coach stephen about it.
I can totally relate to his story! I too, have been documenting my journey through my health problems. Forget the doctors. I gave up. Thank you Dr. C!!! 🥩❣️💪🏼
Wish Mitchell lived in my area as it would be wonderful to have him as a Personal Fitness Trainer who actually wants his clients to learn, so they can train independently. 👍😊
Dr Chaffey, you encapsulated exactly, in a calm and better way, my angrer and frustration with our current medical system. Thank you for telling the masses the truth 👍
The thing about doctors not knowing this stuff, is that it’s understandable to a point. With doctors like my sister and her husband, the issue is that there is so much arrogance and aggression built into the idea that they know what they’re doing, that there just isn’t the curiosity or compassion to give new information a chance if it isn’t coming directly from a very very specific source. It’s extremely dangerous.
Yes... its like you take their pride, if you seem to point to things, they dont know off.. and if it would work too, they will really be ashamed.. Doctors supposed to know whars best for you ..
@ And when they don’t know, that’s supposed to be ok. Medicine is supposed to be a scientific field, and a huge part of the foundation of scientific discovery is having the humility to admit ignorance of something. Then to have the curiosity to learn. I don’t get mad at doctors for not knowing things. I get mad at them for lacking the humility, and compassion to be curious enough to learn something new that might make them better at being able to provide care.
And I feel mistreated by their carelessness "THEY ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS" DIS-INTRESTED IN IMPROVING LIFE FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. THE JUST WANT THE PAY-CHECK/THEN/ HUMAN DISTRACTIONS. ......Huuumm Dispicable I'd say! 57:58
Excellent vid...been watching Chaffee for a year and why I started being mainly carnivore, which at 67 has banished ALL of my ailments. A lot of information Chaffee talks about in this vid I had never heard before and was very illuminating thankyou. Keep up the great work, it's very much appreciated ❤🎉
Agreed I went to the hospital with extreme abdominal pain under my right rib felt like something was ripping through my body I got to the hospital they told me it's probably gallbladder inflammation about to burst I healed myself refused treatment and they want to negate the fact that I healed myself and said it was probably something else! With a ketogenic diet and fasting Now I'm full carnivore at least 80%
Send it to her & make sure she watches it...quiz her about its content after. She must try it out for herself for a month. Convince her to try for herself.
I've been diagnosed with Crohns back in 2021. I am 42. The symptoms were severe. Never took any meds. I started GAPS protocol where you initially start with only meat and bone broth and later introduce veg etc. It cleared within couple of months. Had another flare up(even bigger one a year later). Tried SCD diet and did the same thing. Now 1.5h later i am having a mild flare up with diarrhoea and blood in stool. I started Strict Carnivore 18 days ago. Not getting any results as for now. I would say it is actually getting worse. From my experience though, I know that before things get better, you sometimes need to hit rock bottom. I will continue as long as I have to. At the moment I gave myself 3-6 months. Fingers crossed 🤞
@SelfSustainedTraining And then after the surgery I fasted for like 6 days because all the hospital wanted to give me was carbs and sugar....I was laying there with my stomach stapled together and had to explain to a GI surgeon who was probably a good 300 pounds that I didn't eat sugar. She seemed genuinely shocked that anyone could live without it. They're not all bad, as far as the actual surgery they saved my life, but when it comes to nutrition you better save yourself.
Very inspirational. Sad how doctors are not allowed to even speak of carnivore . Some diseases are easily healed by this diet. I often wonder what they're thinking when they say there's no controlling it?
Chaffees the ultimate Chad, there is no monetary value compared what the carnivore diet has done for me. I’ve learned so much listening to his podcast, very grateful.
@@momof2al Stayed true to Carnivore ( no cheating) When I took my thyroid pills, my heart started racing like crazy so I took myself off of them and I feel fine and it’s been over two months now with no problems
The lesson here is to educate yourself. Guide your doctor and ask questions. If your doctor pushes you, change doctors. Challenge rapid fire suggestions of the usual suspect medication treatments. Sometimes, doctors and even nutritionists are working with bad, incomplete, and even wrong information. Well before finding good info like the doc here, I transitioned to a largely meat based diet. It was trial and error. This worked to control and almost eliminate flare-ups. Years ago, I removed all sugar and any over processed food. This combined with meat was an absolute game changer. It’s very sad that you can still find diet recommendations in a simple Google search related to Crohn’s disease. You have to be your own advocate and do what you see and know what works for you. However, I speak from over 26 years of experience that starting with meat and removing sugar will get you 95% of the way there.
My wife suffered from crohn's for 40 years, going carnivore 8 months ago she is symptom free, unless she eats plants which trigger a massive flare up. Definitely a good motivation to not eat plants.
47:09 this is why it’s on us to get healthy and then help doctors rather than lambast them. Poor bastards. Imagine leaving med school residency to practice and not make a difference while the corporate surgery owners and pharma reps hold a gun to your head, yet holding on to the “prestige” of the label “doctor” - but horribly in debt. You got eight minutes c*nt, and you better prescribe a medication or a surgery. That’s a BAD scene.
I still believe MOST of them don't wanna help. They love their money more than anything that's why they get pissed off when you tell them you're on carnivore.
17:40 The question of what makes Dr Chaffee, Baker, Cywes, etc different from other doctors? It's about how they approach knowledge. Does it come from other people? Or does it come from looking at reality directly, with no one else telling us what to think? The difference is independence of thought, that is, looking with their own eyes and having confidence in their own minds.
My first child I limited meat as I don’t eat it (I eat fish, cheese, eggs). He won’t touch meat 9 years on 😔 only some chicken. My second child was exposed to beef and ham and he likes it. I am trying to get my older son to eat meat now but not easy. I am worried it contributed to his hypermobility.
Great episode ! Thanks for the excellent interview as always Dr AC ! Mitchell looks vibrant and healthy ! Hope he has kicked the almond butter too now !! ha ha!
Hi @Anthony ChaffeeMD. I am 66 yr old female. I have struggled with so many inflammation issues since I was a young child. My mom was 47 yrs when I came along.... the "Chef Surprise" they called me. My mom had some issues (i don't recall what they were) and the but her doctor of the time gave her an upper and a downer during her pregnancy with me. I was premature and was hospitalized for a month before coming home. I have always had terrible roaming body pain, repeated & severe chest infections, concentration issues, candida, back and forth bowel issues, fatigue, low energy, tinnitus, & depression. There's a lot more... I could fill a book. Im quite overweight.... about 40 lbs. I've been trying to stay carnivore but these dam sugar cravings get me all the time. I'm going through a divorce and I know I'm an emotional eater. I especially crave sweets late at night but also especially right after I eat a carnivore meal. So frustrating. Eggs often don't sit right in my belly these days. I used to love them and thought that I had no problem. About 7 yrs ago I lived in India for 6 months. I was at a yoga center and lost about 30 lbs. I also traveled to Nepal, where I'm sure I picked up some intestinal bug. A month after arriving back to Canada I got bitten by a brown recluse spider. In 1 week (on antibiotics) I almost died. I had an operation and had to be on intravenous antibiotics for 2 months. I struggle every single day. I want so much to be well. I work with disabled people till 1am plus look after my granddaughter every week day. By Sunday, my one day off I'm just spent. Can you recommend anything to take away cravings? I know like I know I will feel like a new human being if I could just get over this hump. Thank you for any help you can give. ❤ thank you for all these amazing stories of transformation. ❤🎉
The one thing that took away the cravings for me was feeling good. Once I got healthy I knew I would never go back. Sweets are like crack to me so I will probably always be addicted. But I accept it as an addiction.
@@johannesswillery7855”The one thing that took away my cravings was feeling good.” THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. Everything! Most of us don’t even know we feel like crap - and the only thing that gives us the slightest reprieve is the dopamine dump with sweets or carbs. (Quickly followed by feeling even crappier). Well said!
oh and yes for YEARS hospitals bounced me around first thinking it was an appendix issue and always wondering why it never burst .... took 2-3 years to finally get diagnosed from those clowns
I don't have this young mans issues with bowel disease but his hope for a future was taken away. I am 68 at age 30 my hope was taken away. I was told I had at most 3 years to live, fortunately I at the beginning did not believe what I was told. About diabetics, I was an endocrine diabetic nurse in the early 80's and we advocated low carbohydrate diet, wtf happened
Dr Chaffee, when you practice medicine with patients in Australia, do you ever mention anything about diet (carnivore) to them? Or do you just save your personal knowledge of carnivore diet benefits for your podcast? I'm curious about how the medical body politic functions in Australia (if this where you still practice as a neurosurgeon) compared to in the US. Do you have a podcast episode on this topic? I'd be truly interested in watching it if so.
I've been on Carnivore for almost a year now, Crohn's is not getting better at all. I'm hoping, fingers crossed, to get formal testing for parasites to see if there is an overload obstructing my opportunity for healing.
I'd like to hear any story from chaffee for crohns patients that carnivore couldn't help them if there has been any. I see random comments not helping some people but need the full story.
I literally have been eating meat, cold cuts and cheese since 2017, did nothing for my UC unfortunately, it’s a way better way of eating but unfortunately did not solve anything for me
Try cutting out everything except beef, lamb, and water. It makes a huge difference. Dairy can be very problematic for autoimmune issues like you see, and cold cuts could even be problematic as you don't know exactly what they add to them in the processing off the cold cuts. Most people do exceptionally well on ruminant meat and water though, so beef, lamb, and water for best results. Super high fat, try to get more than one gram of fat to every one gram of protein, even as much as two grams of fat to 1 g of protein. Good luck!
@@anthonychaffeemd I just now did the math to simplify... AI says ground beef with 30% fat and 70% lean has 14 grams protein per 100 grams meat. Given 30 grams fat per 100 grams total, this means that 30% fat ground beef gives roughly your target 2/1 fat/protein ratio. When I was a kid in the 60's, 30% fat ground beef was "the standard". That's what everybody ate. And... it's exactly what ya need. This raises the question "Why was 30% fat the standard? Did those ancient people know something?"
Question what would be the average blood sugar finger prick test expected after eating meat and eggs 6.0 more or less And what would I expect in the morning 12hr fast
Not totally related , nut can some help . I recently started carnivore and 4 weeks in and im feeling great , then i get up one day and thought just for today i will try granola and what a mistake that was , literally ripped my stomach to pieces, i have a previous of diverticulitis and this was the worst ever , which over the last few weeks on carnivore literally went away , anyway its so bad ive had to go on antibiotics in case sepsis kicks in , so my question is what foods will help me build my gut health after the antibiotics wipe it out . Thanks for any replys
I added regular magnesium and potassium supplements and my energy improved. Maybe a coincidence but that's what happened about 9 months after i started.
The low energy will resolve....you're still detoxing from crap food. I am now 65 and haveore energy than when I was 40! It's worth it to push thru ...I remember the low energy and cravings. All totally gone!
Chiropractor here. I have my convictions on prevention and remission of chronic diseases through a proper human diet. I currently work in a clinic where I’m asked never to speak on diet with my patients. My employers are aware about my carnivore diet habits. The other week we had a patient come in describing her “advice” given for her Crohn’s diagnosis: drink a glass of water before every meal, then eat her first half of meal which should be vegetables and then have some meat as the other half of a meal. Although she’s coming in for back pain, I understand that having Crohn’s is a complicating factor with her prognosis of back pain. Not to mention, the idea to drink water prior is so wrong as that will then dilute the bolus and decrease it absorption
Maybe print out a paper with a few links to these kinds of videos and channels and hand them to them as they are walking out the door. Health should be the number one priority. Or tell them to research online. God Bless...🙏
Need help. Ive just syarted carnivore again. 6 days in but ive done it before with great results but i can never stick it out. Get too bored & im an emotional eater. I also feel im not eating enough but i just dont feel hungry. Usually have a good sized steak every day & maybe some cheese & meat as a snack every now & then but cant seem to eat anymore than that. Im 80kg. Reasonably fit. Do weights regularly when i can but i work shift work so just try to rest when im working & weights on my days off
It depends on your current diet. Do you eat fast food or processed food? Do you eat sweets? Do you put sugar in your coffee? What kinds of things do you eat now? If you eat the standard American diet, processed food, fast food, packaged food then some degree of gradual transition might be useful. . The reason for that is if you're eating the standard American diet a carnivore diet will be a significant change, kind of a shock to your system. If you are eating a healthier diet, meat, cheese, some fruit and vegetables, but avoiding processed food, processed carbohydrates, fast food, sugar sweetened drinks, if you're avoiding all of that then you can probably ease into carnivore in a few days. Be honest with yourself though. No one is going to judge you here. If you want to respond and tell me what your diet is like I can give you more specific direction and recommendations. What kind of carnivore diet do you want to do? Are you going for the stricter version, that is the lion diet, you eat ruminant meat, salt and water only. Many do this as a way of healing. It is an exclusion diet, you can then add other foods in, one at a time and you'll know which things trigger problems, what you are sensitive to. There are a lot of channels on RUclips if you're interested in the lion diet I would recommend ferrigno freedom, he's been doing the lion diet for several years and it has made a tremendous difference in his life. He lost 100 lb, he doesn't look like the same person his physical health has improved tremendously but so has his emotional health, his psychological health. He describes it very well. If you plan on eating a more standard carnivore diet, that can include eggs, poultry, other kinds of meat and for some, dairy. Dairy can be a problem for many. If you continue to have issues and you're eating dairy stop the dairy for 30 days and see if they resolve. If you do decide to eat dairy, try to limit it to heavy cream in your coffee (be sure you get heavy cream that doesn't have any additives like carrageenan. There should only be one ingredient in heavy cream) It is very easy to overeat cheese, try to limit cheese to a condiment, a slice of cheese on your burger or an ounce of cheese with your steak. Try not to make it something that you eat a lot of or everyday. People do the carnivore diet and they find themselves eating several ounces of cheese or eating whole blocks of it. It is easy to eat too much cheese especially if you like it. There's additional information I can give you but I don't know what your diet is like right now. You'll find people in the carnivore community are usually pretty helpful. It's good to stick together and help each other. It's important to get enough fat in your diet. We have been told that fat is the enemy, that fat is bad, many who start the carnivore diet gravitate to leaner cuts of meat. Don't do that. You need enough fat to be successful at this. Go for fattier cuts of meat. If you are eating a lean cut of meat try to add some fat to it, butter works for that if you aren't sensitive to dairy. Dr Chaffee discusses this issue in many of his videos.
I'd say give up sugar seed oils and processed foods first for several months. After that you'll find you domt crave it and eating meat only becomes like second natire6
@@Carnivore1959 I don't think there's a need to give it up for several months first. It depends on their diet. Even if they're eating an awful diet I don't think it should take months to change.
Hi Mitchell / Chaffee - PLEASE HELP. I just watched your full interview and had a question regarding something you mentioned about having gut cramps. Were you experiencing difficulty going to the bathroom, or were you going too frequently? In my case, I never experienced cramps, and I'm not fully in remission yet. I tried the carnivore diet for a month, and unfortunately, things worsened for me. I've tried it with all different meats (red, chicken, fish) plus eggs, and butter. Interestingly, after that month, I reintroduced rice and vegetables, and that’s when I noticed the best results in terms of gut function since I was diagnosed. It almost felt like the carnivore diet helped reset my gut, but during the trial, my inflammation actually worsened. My calprotectin level went above 1,100 during the carnivore diet, and then dropped to 100 a week after I stopped. I’m not sure if my Crohn's is the same type as yours, which is why I’m asking these questions. Any insights or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. It looks like red meat causes more inflammation in my case. Thank you!

My dad has suffered from horrible Crohns since he was a teenager. Multiple surgeries. He adopted a carnivore diet over the summer with me. He is off all of his meds. No symptoms. Feels incredible. But he ended up eating some veggies the other day, and found himself with bowel obstruction. His eyes are open now that he has to stay on this narrow road. Thanks Anthony for all you do. You are saving lives. You’ve changed mine and now my dad. God bless you
I am encouraged. Entyvio stopped working and went to Stelara. Jordan Peterson turned me onto Carnivore. I am coming off of Stelara gradually. CDAI score of 0, 2 years ago. Feeling great and hoping to make at least another 20 years. 73 now
Very similar story for my wife, all good now unless she eats plants which result in days of pain and bowel upset
@CarnivoreJess ❤❤❤
4 months into carnivore, crohns symptoms gone, no bloating, bloody stools or cramping, amazing
Good for you. ‘carnivore’ did nit work for my mother, or for me. BTW, I was NOT told to eat masses of greens and little meat. I am surprised any doctors would say that. In fact VERY surprised to the point of disbelief. I was advised to carefully analyze what I ate to ascertain whether there was an allergy. There did not seem to be in my case.
The advice I had that worked for me (for decades) was to eat a balanced diet including meat and vegetables but only ‘whole’ foods… not over-processed sh.. (my term!).
‘red meat and water’ made me iller. I eat a balanced diet, don’t smoke or drink alcohol. The only thing I have noticed about eating veg is that if I eat too much raw (as opposed to cooked) vegetables I get cramps - otherwise no problem with vegetables. No one diet seems to work fir everyone, it is irresponsible to claim it will . I know someone who lives healthily on only meat, many more with Crohn’s who eat a balanced diet and are well. For me too much bread is not good, neither is none. Over processed foods like soy curds (tofu) are bad for me, perhaps not for others.
How long did you try @@sisiphas
TELL YOUR MD if you haven't already! If he/she hassles you about going Carnivore to treat your Crohn's, find a better doctor.
@@jklaro101 carnivore ? - for at least a year.
@@andyc7747 For me it is only fibre in some veg (broccoli) and eg rice husks and eheat fibre that are lroblematic. Other cooked veg is fine for me (indeed its absence is a problem)
Bahahahaha the Chaffee Protocol. Love it 😂
I cant wait to tell the GI in my next appointment that I'm on the Chaffee Protocol. Its going to spread like wild fire. Next T-shirt slogan 😝Thank you Doc. Coming from someone who's had Crohn's for 24 years, its so important to have video's like this to reiterate that it does bloody work. GI's unfortunately to want to think outside the box because the reality is they'll lose $ if people start feeling better by doing Carnivore. Ill let you know their reaction to the Protocol 😂
After nearly 30 years of debilitating, ulcerative colitis and doctors telling me there was no cure and just to take their drugs I found that carnivore gave me my life back! Within two weeks, I was practically symptom-free and for the first time in all these years, my gut was not bleeding! I can't tell you how many times I've had to change my clothing because of accidents! I had to drive all these years with a potty bucket in my car in case of an emergency. i've had to pull over and run into the woods! I've had the worst pain over eating one bite of the wrong food. My doctors did me a huge disservice and when I asked if diet made a difference, they always said no! Something needs to change because people should not have to suffer. I used Humira for eight years and every drug you can imagine and the side effects were worse than dealing with the disease. I'm finally free and I just can't believe how amazing this has been! Not only that I'm finally able to lose some weight and I've dropped a full size. I have another size or two to go, but that doesn't even matter as much as feeling as good as I do. I also add fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, acne, athletes foot, brain fog, and all of those are nearly gone. I am only 71 days in! oh and I've paid for some very expensive programs to get healing plus years of seeing naturopathic doctors. I've been well on my journey for a long time and eliminating things so this is something I'm used to doing. For anybody that struggles with eliminating foods just think of it this way, "what CAN I have? What gives me the best life?" And know that you are worth it! Somebody just told me to give it 90 days. Well, give it at least 30 if you can't do 90. It will change your life.
Wonderful success story! Happy for you! 🛐
Carnivore cured my crohns which I’ve had for 40 years now 4 years carnivore and no meds 🥰🙏🏻
Carnivore cured my Crohn’s disease.
Mine too.
@@lovelylora1700bad diet.
I was diagnosed over 25 years ago. I have had several surgeries and have tried a number of medication driven treatments before arriving at a low/no carb diet that focuses on meat. Not entirely carnivore but dang close. The exact cause of Crohn’s Disease is largely unknown. Genetics, environment, medications, or other factors within the gut. Even removal of the appendix could lead to factors that increase risk of Crohn’s.
A “bad diet” is not the cause.
Your body cured your Chrons disease. Not the dead corpses. Most likely you have eliminated modern wheat and seed oils
@@darthdurkelthewise320
Well I’m definitely not an expert or even a doctor but I can definitely recognize the evidence seen. The food I was eating was killing me and definitely aggravating my Crohn’s, does that mean it was the cause? Who knows but what I do know is by changing the food I ate I was cured and btw, so was my IBS that I suffered with for over 30 years. So food did fix it. There are also many people in the carnivore community that have had the exact same results as I have. Cause and effect?
What a difference in Mitchell from his documentary to here. He’s now bright, vibrant, and amazingly articulate. I fully understand his outrage with the doctors and specialists after seeing how much pain he was in. Congratulations, Mitchell. 🎉
Thank you for your kind words!
I've always had an iron gut until I went carnivore and now if I eat ultra processed foods, especially anything with wheat like pasta and noodles, I'll have stabbing pains for 24 hours that make me cry and I have a pretty good pain tolerance. It's crazy how responsive my body is now at telling me what it doesn't like.
What an upbeat adorable guy! Looking forward to your future good health, Mitchell. Thanks, Anthony! Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
My body has also become a lot more reactive to other "food" now. I can't even eat pumpkin now.
@lovelylora1700 I'm sticking to carnivore long term for mental health reasons. I'm autistic and have struggled with anxiety, depression, OCD and intrusive thoughts for many years. It's all gone now until I eat a veg or grains even once, then the noise comes back. I have clarity thanks to carnivore.
i never seen so much improvement with my colitis/crohns since starting carnivore.. falling off the wagon and going back to plant based/processed foods/fastfood brought back all of my usual symptoms and pain.. im convinced carnivore is the way to go maybe not cure but DRASTICALLY improve symptoms
I have been on the carnivore diet for nearly a year and I always used to feel guilty if I had a few carbs every now and then
But I don't anymore because it helps to slow down the oxalate dumping which caused severe pain in my right knee in the middle of the night
Some people with really serious conditions do need to be completely carnivore and that is a tough, but necessary protocol
Words can't describe how grateful I am to people like you guys for your dedication to helping so many people
I watch videos like this on a regular basis to keep my motivation high
Without this ongoing support, it would be really hard to stay on track
Thank you so much
Carnivore cured my Crohn's and delivered me a second life🎉
Awesome!!! How long did it take?? I had ulcerative colitis, and most of it’s gone, but I do still have a tiny bit of ulceration in the colon and IBS symptoms with diarrhea.
@johnrakthai symptoms gone after months but the sensitivity is still there so I stay on the meat wagon!
sorry but crohns is never cured. You can be in remission but never cured from crohns. I just had my colon removed because of crohns. You can have allof your crohns removed and it can reappear from your eyes to your toes .
I had gastric problems my entire childhood and finally diagnosed at 25. By 30, I was having so much pain and multiple ER trips. At age 33, I found the SCD diet and it was the first time anyone ever told me that diet mattered. I had remission of symptoms in 2 weeks. However, my symptoms didn't totally stay away as I gradually added more and more plants amd raw food back in, thinking that was the ultimate goal to have a healthy gut. Fast forward to early last year when I heard about Carnivore at age 42. Cutting out plants was the best thing ever for my gut. I will still have a bit of plant food now but stay more ketovore. Most meals are carnivore though and I feel amazing. I meet so many people that won't even entertain the thought of restricting their diet. If I hadn't hit my limit of pain, I wonder how much harder it would have been to change? My moment of change really came in the middle of a painful episode when I couldn't get out of the bathroom to make my 3 year old lunch. I questioned my ability to stay healthy enough to take care of him. It was then I decided to dig deeper than what the doctors told me. I'm forever grateful that regular people put their stories out there for others to find. Keep spreading the word!!
My 9 year old niece was just diagnosed with Crohn’s this week. I’ve been yelling at my sister for years to stop feeding her (and of course the whole family) so much junk, and even to go carnivore because plants indeed are not good for you.
9 omg that poor child
Send her this video :3
Keep rallying for the poor girl and show the family and the girl this video. If times ever get unbearably painful she’ll remember the video and consider going on the carnivores diet. She’s very young someone needs to keep rallying for her if her main family are ignorant, even selfish not wanting change, who knows!!😊
Carnivore all the way. People think am mad but my energy my skin speaks volumes best game changer ❤.
right alot of carnivores skin looks amazing its all the fat omg beef and butter gal looks amazing
Ego and lack of curiosity are both in full force in so many doctors offices and hospitals. Maybe - just maaaaybe - there is data that you don’t know, Docs!!!
Thank you both so much for this wonderful discussion and for your love of humans 🤍
Don’t have chrons but has severe gut issues to the point where I didn’t want to continue life since the pain was so bad. Found carnivore and it saved my life. Thank you for sharing!
I love how you guys speak in real words, lay people’s language. Thank youuuu!
I am 67 years old now. When I was a child as far back as I can remember I was always sickly. I would vomit up my breakfast almost daily. And felt nauseous every day except when I didn’t eat. Then at about 12 years of age I started doing better until my early to mid twenties. Somewhere around that time I started having bowel problems and the nausea and vomiting returned. I went to the doctor and after about ten weekly visits, tests and astronomical medical bills for my employer, I was told that I had IBS, severe irritable bowel syndrome, a constant low grade fever, blood in the urine, a kidney stone, chone’s like symptoms, ulcerative colitis,possibly cancer and that I would never get better and that my bowel was constricted down to less than a quarter of an inch. They needed to remove my large intestine and a part of my small intestine and give me a colostomy bag. I refused and stopped seeing doctors for several years. I instinctively stopped eating bread but suffered from severe diarrhea and fatigue for the next 18 years and was on disability for eight of those years. During that period of my life I also grew six tumors and diligently studied herbal medicine and the use of food as a treatment for diseases. I did have 4 of those tumors surgically removed and 2 of them shrank and eventually disappeared from the change in diet and the use of herbs. I also bought a glucometer and discovered that my blood sugar range went from 40 to over 400 when I ate. I went to the doctor and had my blood sugar tested and he said it was in the normal range and didn’t believe me. I also often had the lining of my mouth peeling off for no apparent reason. I finally quit eating grains and had some relief and returned to work. As a career carpenter I had a client who was a doctor and soon we became friends. He and his daughters had celiac disease. And his youngest daughter said one of her symptoms was that if she ate anything with gluten the inside of her mouth would peel. And the doctor and both of the daughters had chronic diarrhea. We decided that I have celiac disease. I began eating a gluten free low carb diet with limited improvement. I still was nauseous and vomitted a lot but had much less bowel symptoms. However my health was still not good. And I was still struggling. I got another glucometer and was now a diabetic. I was put on Metformin and it made me feel sick and I was not able to lower my glucose level to normal by following the doctor recommendations. Then I saw Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee on RUclips and began keto and saw my blood sugar go normal. So I quit the medication and told my doctor and he was okay with it. I am now carnivore for over 2 years. I still have some problems but am so much better. Although I got the Covid vaccine and then got Covid and now I think I have long Covid because I suffer from chronic fatigue. But I feel better when I increase my fat intake. Thanks to the doctors who are truly interested in helping people. God bless you.
Keep sharing your stories. One person at a time will make a difference
23:04 seeing this beaming smile on Mitchell’s face. What other reward does one need. How amazing it is to know about this.
Etymology can be very informative.
The original meaning of the word MEAT in old English is FOOD, Sustinance, nourishment etc etc!!!
And they say we are getting smarter!!
Happy food eating people!!
Thanks Dr Chaffe, Keep up the good work of jogging humanity’s memory!
Love your work.
Diagnosed with crohns 10 years ago… been a battle back and forth. 10 years of a biologic infusion. 3 months ago I took a stand told the doctor I want to stop the meds, then I find out from the intern that I’m in the highest level of remission!??? It’s all about money 💴 we have to take a stand for our lives
congrats too bad so many of us have to suffer with different maladies for so long we are all living a lie disease doesnt just happen
Everyone is in charge of his own life.
Sent this to my brother who has colitis. Hope he gives it an honest shot. It's done wonders to my digestion.
I have UC, carnivore since 2017… didn’t do anything for me unfortunately 😢
Hope your brother watches and seriously tries this way of eating. It has helped me with my IBS and colitis more than any medication and therapies my doctors ever suggested.
I know some people with Crohn's disease, but they are not willing to think for themselves.
My daughter’s friend has rheumatoid arthritis & won’t even consider changing her diet (shes 28)
For most people, a diagnosis is not only a life sentence, but an excuse to stop putting effort into life.
Absolutely true, and pitiful.
I sent a video about carnivore and complete MS remission to two facebook friends with MS, and they both got extremely angry with me for even suggesting that a "fad diet" could cure their terrible disease. They continue to suffer and deteriorate. It goes back to the question at 17:40 -- what makes carnivore doctors different from others? Independence of mind. Is a person open to seeing new evidence with their own eyes and drawing their own conclusions?
I know that kind of people, too. Some of them do know they eat the wrong things. But they say they rather be sick and in pain then stopping to eat all the junk food they love/they are addicted to.
I was just using Carnivore as an Elimination Diet....hoping to find specific Food Sensitivities. Long Story Short... sensitivities went away quickly. Wheat was the main culprit. But THEN... a dozen other Problems started disappearing!!
• ~Weekly Migrains gone
• 35 pounds gone (4 months)
• Knee and Shoulder pain and weakness gone (right shoulder PE going better - injured in accident).
• Pre-diabetes gone
• (Triglycerides/HDL) ratio improved >400%
• Insomnia Gone
• Brain Fog (nearly) gone. Memory improved
• Snoring improved
• Blood Pressure normal (no more meds)
• No Diverticulitis in 4 months (nasty)
• No Hunger... I mean 24 hours & no hunger (no binge eating for many months)
• Grocery Bills cut in half
Plants appear to be poisonous....and Red Meat appears to be curative.

I currently study to become a nurse, we havent talked much about nutrition but i have been told how awful fat from red meat is.
”Just imagine all the fat you pour down the drain going in your arteries”

The frustration comes from the people we love who are so sick and discount it without ever trying it. All we can do is hope and pray they'll eventually give it a shot ❤

This is like a renaissance in eating habits.. ironically its a rediscovering of our most ancient ways of eating
Damn. This was AWESOME, Anthony! Absolutely fantastic in every way.
GI docs and nutritionist need to know about this option of eating. I only have part of my intestines and have diverticulosis and after suffering 10 years , I finally am living free of any diverticulitis episodes , no issues with diarrhea or constipation being plant/fiber free. If I can help one person, I am going to keep sharing. Hopefully after rejecting my suggestion as unrealistic, people will hear it often enough that they will give it a try and not have to suffer so. Keep sharing!
I went carnivore after having my colectomy for acute diverticulitis....so far not one other person has been willing to give it a shot.

My ibs cleared up completely, diverticulitis gone, hemorrhoids gone so glad for carnivore
All I know is that I've never felt better physically and never felt better emotionally, mentally and cognitively in my life.
Did you lose excess fat weight??
The thing about doctors not knowing this stuff, is that it’s understandable to a point. With doctors like my sister and her husband, the issue is that there is so much arrogance and aggression built into the idea that they know what they’re doing, that there just isn’t the curiosity or compassion to give new information a chance if it isn’t coming directly from a very very specific source. It’s extremely dangerous.
Yes... its like you take their pride, if you seem to point to things, they dont know off.. and if it would work too, they will really be ashamed.. Doctors supposed to know whars best for you ..
@ And when they don’t know, that’s supposed to be ok. Medicine is supposed to be a scientific field, and a huge part of the foundation of scientific discovery is having the humility to admit ignorance of something. Then to have the curiosity to learn. I don’t get mad at doctors for not knowing things. I get mad at them for lacking the humility, and compassion to be curious enough to learn something new that might make them better at being able to provide care.
And
I feel mistreated by their carelessness

A lot of information Chaffee talks about in this vid I had never heard before and was very illuminating thankyou. Keep up the great work, it's very much appreciated ❤🎉
Most dr's just want to keep the blinders on. They don't want to fix, they want to treat. A customer healed is a customer lost.
Agreed I went to the hospital with extreme abdominal pain under my right rib felt like something was ripping through my body I got to the hospital they told me it's probably gallbladder inflammation about to burst I healed myself refused treatment and they want to negate the fact that I healed myself and said it was probably something else! With a ketogenic diet and fasting Now I'm full carnivore at least 80%

I've been diagnosed with Crohns back in 2021. I am 42. The symptoms were severe. Never took any meds. I started GAPS protocol where you initially start with only meat and bone broth and later introduce veg etc. It cleared within couple of months. Had another flare up(even bigger one a year later). Tried SCD diet and did the same thing. Now 1.5h later i am having a mild flare up with diarrhoea and blood in stool. I started Strict Carnivore 18 days ago. Not getting any results as for now. I would say it is actually getting worse. From my experience though, I know that before things get better, you sometimes need to hit rock bottom. I will continue as long as I have to. At the moment I gave myself 3-6 months. Fingers crossed 🤞
This was a good one. I had acute diverticulitis and had to get an emergency colectomy. I was also told diet was irrelevant. 😂
That is so frustrating! It’s almost too crazy to believe until you experience it yourself
@SelfSustainedTraining And then after the surgery I fasted for like 6 days because all the hospital wanted to give me was carbs and sugar....I was laying there with my stomach stapled together and had to explain to a GI surgeon who was probably a good 300 pounds that I didn't eat sugar. She seemed genuinely shocked that anyone could live without it. They're not all bad, as far as the actual surgery they saved my life, but when it comes to nutrition you better save yourself.
Carnivore reversed Celiac for me. Thank you for your great podcasts!!❤

Stayed true to Carnivore ( no cheating)
When I took my thyroid pills, my heart started racing like crazy so I took myself off of them and I feel fine and it’s been over two months now with no problems
The lesson here is to educate yourself. Guide your doctor and ask questions. If your doctor pushes you, change doctors. Challenge rapid fire suggestions of the usual suspect medication treatments. Sometimes, doctors and even nutritionists are working with bad, incomplete, and even wrong information.
Well before finding good info like the doc here, I transitioned to a largely meat based diet. It was trial and error. This worked to control and almost eliminate flare-ups. Years ago, I removed all sugar and any over processed food. This combined with meat was an absolute game changer. It’s very sad that you can still find diet recommendations in a simple Google search related to Crohn’s disease. You have to be your own advocate and do what you see and know what works for you. However, I speak from over 26 years of experience that starting with meat and removing sugar will get you 95% of the way there.
My wife suffered from crohn's for 40 years, going carnivore 8 months ago she is symptom free, unless she eats plants which trigger a massive flare up.
Definitely a good motivation to not eat plants.
47:09 this is why it’s on us to get healthy and then help doctors rather than lambast them. Poor bastards. Imagine leaving med school residency to practice and not make a difference while the corporate surgery owners and pharma reps hold a gun to your head, yet holding on to the “prestige” of the label “doctor” - but horribly in debt. You got eight minutes c*nt, and you better prescribe a medication or a surgery. That’s a BAD scene.
I still believe MOST of them don't wanna help. They love their money more than anything that's why they get pissed off when you tell them you're on carnivore.
17:40 The question of what makes Dr Chaffee, Baker, Cywes, etc different from other doctors? It's about how they approach knowledge. Does it come from other people? Or does it come from looking at reality directly, with no one else telling us what to think? The difference is independence of thought, that is, looking with their own eyes and having confidence in their own minds.
I am having hadech and feel week a little bit i ben on cornvor for almost a month
I really whatch your show and big fan
17:46 if the carnivore doctors exhibit “genius”, it’s the capacity to revise the information they believe to be true based on new information.
Great point!
Thank you!

My first child I limited meat as I don’t eat it (I eat fish, cheese, eggs). He won’t touch meat 9 years on 😔 only some chicken. My second child was exposed to beef and ham and he likes it. I am trying to get my older son to eat meat now but not easy. I am worried it contributed to his hypermobility.
Great episode ! Thanks for the excellent interview as always Dr AC ! Mitchell looks vibrant and healthy ! Hope he has kicked the almond butter too now !! ha ha!
Hi @Anthony ChaffeeMD. I am 66 yr old female. I have struggled with so many inflammation issues since I was a young child. My mom was 47 yrs when I came along.... the "Chef Surprise" they called me. My mom had some issues (i don't recall what they were) and the but her doctor of the time gave her an upper and a downer during her pregnancy with me. I was premature and was hospitalized for a month before coming home. I have always had terrible roaming body pain, repeated & severe chest infections, concentration issues, candida, back and forth bowel issues, fatigue, low energy, tinnitus,
& depression. There's a lot more... I could fill a book. Im quite overweight.... about 40 lbs.
I've been trying to stay carnivore but these dam sugar cravings get me all the time. I'm going through a divorce and I know I'm an emotional eater. I especially crave sweets late at night but also
especially right after I eat a carnivore meal. So frustrating. Eggs often don't sit right in my belly these days. I used to love them and thought that I had no problem. About 7 yrs ago I lived in India for 6 months. I was at a yoga center and lost about 30 lbs. I also traveled to Nepal, where I'm sure I picked up some intestinal bug. A month after arriving back to Canada I got bitten by a brown recluse spider. In 1 week (on antibiotics) I almost died. I had an operation and had to be on intravenous antibiotics for 2 months.
I struggle every single day. I want so much to be well. I work with disabled people till 1am plus look after my granddaughter every week day. By Sunday, my one day off I'm just spent. Can you recommend anything to take away cravings? I know like I know I will feel like a new human being if I could just get over this hump. Thank you for any help you can give. ❤ thank you for all these amazing stories of transformation. ❤🎉
The one thing that took away the cravings for me was feeling good. Once I got healthy I knew I would never go back. Sweets are like crack to me so I will probably always be addicted. But I accept it as an addiction.
@@johannesswillery7855”The one thing that took away my cravings was feeling good.” THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. Everything! Most of us don’t even know we feel like crap - and the only thing that gives us the slightest reprieve is the dopamine dump with sweets or carbs. (Quickly followed by feeling even crappier). Well said!
@@kristenmfclark1966 I like your point that most of us don't know we feel bad. I knew I felt bad but I just didn't know I felt THAT bad! God bless!
@johannesswillery7855 😆 yep I truly understand . Thanks
@@johannesswillery7855 oh believe me... I know i feel bad.
oh and yes for YEARS hospitals bounced me around first thinking it was an appendix issue and always wondering why it never burst .... took 2-3 years to finally get diagnosed from those clowns
Jordan Rubin had an incredible story.. Where in Mo are U Mitchell?
Thank you Dr Chaffee for a great interview. Question for everyone, what are your feelings on fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, and sauerkraut juice?
We should start a clinic that does preventative care with like full body scans blood tests toxin tests get it approved for insurance Medicare etc!
The 6 crohns studies and 1 trial that are mentioned. Links or where to find them would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this young mans issues with bowel disease but his hope for a future was taken away. I am 68 at age 30 my hope was taken away. I was told I had at most 3 years to live, fortunately I at the beginning did not believe what I was told.
About diabetics, I was an endocrine diabetic nurse in the early 80's and we advocated low carbohydrate diet, wtf happened
Dr Chaffee, when you practice medicine with patients in Australia, do you ever mention anything about diet (carnivore) to them?
Or do you just save your personal knowledge of carnivore diet benefits for your podcast?
I'm curious about how the medical body politic functions in Australia (if this where you still practice as a neurosurgeon) compared to in the US.
Do you have a podcast episode on this topic? I'd be truly interested in watching it if so.

I've been on Carnivore for almost a year now, Crohn's is not getting better at all. I'm hoping, fingers crossed, to get formal testing for parasites to see if there is an overload obstructing my opportunity for healing.
are you taking electrolytes, salt, getting enough fat?
look up nutrition with judy she has a website has advanced testing etc
@momof2al yes, thank you for asking, I am.
I love Dr. Chaffee! He needs to start a school for boys... raise a new generation of scholar athletes. 💪
I'd like to hear any story from chaffee for crohns patients that carnivore couldn't help them if there has been any. I see random comments not helping some people but need the full story.
Truth
I literally have been eating meat, cold cuts and cheese since 2017, did nothing for my UC unfortunately, it’s a way better way of eating but unfortunately did not solve anything for me
Try cutting out everything except beef, lamb, and water. It makes a huge difference. Dairy can be very problematic for autoimmune issues like you see, and cold cuts could even be problematic as you don't know exactly what they add to them in the processing off the cold cuts. Most people do exceptionally well on ruminant meat and water though, so beef, lamb, and water for best results. Super high fat, try to get more than one gram of fat to every one gram of protein, even as much as two grams of fat to 1 g of protein. Good luck!
@@anthonychaffeemd I just now did the math to simplify... AI says ground beef with 30% fat and 70% lean has 14 grams protein per 100 grams meat. Given 30 grams fat per 100 grams total, this means that 30% fat ground beef gives roughly your target 2/1 fat/protein ratio. When I was a kid in the 60's, 30% fat ground beef was "the standard". That's what everybody ate. And... it's exactly what ya need. This raises the question "Why was 30% fat the standard? Did those ancient people know something?"
Consider cutting out the cold cuts.
cold cuts arent good for you
Cut out the cold cuts and all dairy... especially cheese.
Can I use freeze-dried steaks on this diet? They sell them online??
Of course...🙏
I just tried to share this on FB and wasn’t able to.
Question what would be the average blood sugar finger prick test expected after eating meat and eggs 6.0 more or less
And what would I expect in the morning 12hr fast
Not totally related , nut can some help . I recently started carnivore and 4 weeks in and im feeling great , then i get up one day and thought just for today i will try granola and what a mistake that was , literally ripped my stomach to pieces, i have a previous of diverticulitis and this was the worst ever , which over the last few weeks on carnivore literally went away , anyway its so bad ive had to go on antibiotics in case sepsis kicks in , so my question is what foods will help me build my gut health after the antibiotics wipe it out .
Thanks for any replys
Where can I find the pro carnivore studies
Does anybody have a list or a site to recommend that would collect these studies talked about here? I'm dumb and have no time 😭
2nd week on carnivore, been feeling low energy last few days. Do you think I should look at adjusting fat and/or electrolyte intake?
more fat, more salt
@@russellbutler836💯
I added regular magnesium and potassium supplements and my energy improved. Maybe a coincidence but that's what happened about 9 months after i started.
The low energy will resolve....you're still detoxing from crap food. I am now 65 and haveore energy than when I was 40! It's worth it to push thru ...I remember the low energy and cravings. All totally gone!
Eat BUTTER SALTED AND UNSALTED. UNSALTED IS DELIGHTFUL
@@russellbutler836
Chiropractor here. I have my convictions on prevention and remission of chronic diseases through a proper human diet. I currently work in a clinic where I’m asked never to speak on diet with my patients. My employers are aware about my carnivore diet habits. The other week we had a patient come in describing her “advice” given for her Crohn’s diagnosis: drink a glass of water before every meal, then eat her first half of meal which should be vegetables and then have some meat as the other half of a meal. Although she’s coming in for back pain, I understand that having Crohn’s is a complicating factor with her prognosis of back pain.
Not to mention, the idea to drink water prior is so wrong as that will then dilute the bolus and decrease it absorption
Maybe print out a paper with a few links to these kinds of videos and channels and hand them to them as they are walking out the door. Health should be the number one priority. Or tell them to research online. God Bless...🙏
Need help. Ive just syarted carnivore again. 6 days in but ive done it before with great results but i can never stick it out. Get too bored & im an emotional eater.
I also feel im not eating enough but i just dont feel hungry. Usually have a good sized steak every day & maybe some cheese & meat as a snack every now & then but cant seem to eat anymore than that. Im 80kg. Reasonably fit. Do weights regularly when i can but i work shift work so just try to rest when im working & weights on my days off
What do you recommend to transition into a carnivore diet? All in day one or start with keto and go gradually into carnivore?
It depends on your current diet.
Do you eat fast food or processed food? Do you eat sweets? Do you put sugar in your coffee? What kinds of things do you eat now?
If you eat the standard American diet, processed food, fast food, packaged food then some degree of gradual transition might be useful.
.
The reason for that is if you're eating the standard American diet a carnivore diet will be a significant change, kind of a shock to your system.
If you are eating a healthier diet, meat, cheese, some fruit and vegetables, but avoiding processed food, processed carbohydrates, fast food, sugar sweetened drinks, if you're avoiding all of that then you can probably ease into carnivore in a few days.
Be honest with yourself though. No one is going to judge you here. If you want to respond and tell me what your diet is like I can give you more specific direction and recommendations.
What kind of carnivore diet do you want to do? Are you going for the stricter version, that is the lion diet, you eat ruminant meat, salt and water only.
Many do this as a way of healing. It is an exclusion diet, you can then add other foods in, one at a time and you'll know which things trigger problems, what you are sensitive to. There are a lot of channels on RUclips if you're interested in the lion diet I would recommend ferrigno freedom, he's been doing the lion diet for several years and it has made a tremendous difference in his life. He lost 100 lb, he doesn't look like the same person his physical health has improved tremendously but so has his emotional health, his psychological health. He describes it very well.
If you plan on eating a more standard carnivore diet, that can include eggs, poultry, other kinds of meat and for some, dairy. Dairy can be a problem for many. If you continue to have issues and you're eating dairy stop the dairy for 30 days and see if they resolve.
If you do decide to eat dairy, try to limit it to heavy cream in your coffee (be sure you get heavy cream that doesn't have any additives like carrageenan. There should only be one ingredient in heavy cream)
It is very easy to overeat cheese, try to limit cheese to a condiment, a slice of cheese on your burger or an ounce of cheese with your steak. Try not to make it something that you eat a lot of or everyday. People do the carnivore diet and they find themselves eating several ounces of cheese or eating whole blocks of it. It is easy to eat too much cheese especially if you like it.
There's additional information I can give you but I don't know what your diet is like right now. You'll find people in the carnivore community are usually pretty helpful. It's good to stick together and help each other.
It's important to get enough fat in your diet. We have been told that fat is the enemy, that fat is bad, many who start the carnivore diet gravitate to leaner cuts of meat. Don't do that. You need enough fat to be successful at this. Go for fattier cuts of meat. If you are eating a lean cut of meat try to add some fat to it, butter works for that if you aren't sensitive to dairy.
Dr Chaffee discusses this issue in many of his videos.
I'd say give up sugar seed oils and processed foods first for several months. After that you'll find you domt crave it and eating meat only becomes like second natire6
@@Carnivore1959 I don't think there's a need to give it up for several months first. It depends on their diet. Even if they're eating an awful diet I don't think it should take months to change.
I started KETO THEN
CARNIVORE
Hi Mitchell / Chaffee - PLEASE HELP.
I just watched your full interview and had a question regarding something you mentioned about having gut cramps. Were you experiencing difficulty going to the bathroom, or were you going too frequently? In my case, I never experienced cramps, and I'm not fully in remission yet. I tried the carnivore diet for a month, and unfortunately, things worsened for me. I've tried it with all different meats (red, chicken, fish) plus eggs, and butter. Interestingly, after that month, I reintroduced rice and vegetables, and that’s when I noticed the best results in terms of gut function since I was diagnosed. It almost felt like the carnivore diet helped reset my gut, but during the trial, my inflammation actually worsened. My calprotectin level went above 1,100 during the carnivore diet, and then dropped to 100 a week after I stopped.
I’m not sure if my Crohn's is the same type as yours, which is why I’m asking these questions. Any insights or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like red meat causes more inflammation in my case.
Thank you!
My question is, If no Biopsy was used, how come the Dr could come to conclusion that he got IBD
