@@anthonychaffeemdDr. Chaffee, you are an amazing doctor, and you know what, you would also be an amazing lawyer too! I can see you doing that big time! And studying for that would come so easy for you! You could help carnivore community and bring up issues that are so corrupt with big food industry, big Pharma corruption, and how harmful the “health” guidelines are!
@@JennifertxCarnivore Yes. I agree with Jonelle. We’re all part of something bigger than ourselves. We’re all called to do something different. Dr Chaffee is making a massive difference as a medical doctor and nutrition researcher and voice/example to the masses. Others will be called to be lawyers to prosecute big pharma and big food. There will probably a small army of them. Let Dr Chaffee continue working in his gifted area. God bless you Dr Chaffee as you work with the gifts God has given you.
If you put the time stamps in the video description it will show up on the RUclips player timeline when you play the video. Might be a cool thing to try out 🙂
Dr. Chaffee, please see the clip today from good morning America, where Isaiah Caldwell lost 200 pounds as a carnivore to fulfill his dream of healing, fertility issues and starting a family with his wife. :-) Big win for the carnivores. :-)
Victoria is so right. Even after 2yrs of Carnivore, my family still says "you mean no vegetables" or "not even a small piece of cake/pie/something sweat" during the holidays when I visit. My oldest daughter has thyroid issues, and I can't get her to go carnivore (she has thinning hair and just about everything Victoria mentioned), my daughter has however gotten rid of sugar, bread and quite a few processed items, just cannot prove carnivore is the way. My wife of 30 years has had hormone imbalance issues for as long as I can remember that she refuses to take meds for, but not willing to go carnivore (I have gotten her to remove quite a bit of process junk, just not all). I continue pushing (not forcing) to the misses, both sons and all three daughters, I always tell them to just look at me to see what carnivore has done for my health. Due to carnivore, I have lost 100lbs and no longer take any prescription meds and vastly improved to the point I no longer need a cane to walk (misdiagnosed for 3 days cerebellum stroke at 44).
It’s very hard to convince people because they have been told the wrong info for so long, it’s ingrained in them. When I first started Carnivore, only about 8 weeks ago, I had a hard time eating fat, even though it tastes so good. I’m eating it now and loving it! The government and the media are making us ill. If your family sees how well you are getting they will do it, but probably only if they get desperate enough and really need to heal.
❤ I find food and medicine becomes religion in so many ways. It’s hard to change a belief system when so many support there ideology and habits no matter how bad. Stay strong 💪🏼 stay the example. Lastly, I once heard a woman say something like, “stop trying to grow plants in a season they weren’t meant to grow.” I think about this from time to time when I want to help ppl. Just know the day will come when the time is right. ❤❤❤ God bless
The hardest thing I'm dealing with in life is loving those i love more than they love themselves.😢 You can take a horse to water my friends but you can't make it drink. Boi I've had to learn that lesson the hard way. Sometimes we just have to let go and allow each other to reap what we sow. What can I say, some people want to grow some people want to stay exactly where they are. Me, I've got other plans.💪💚🙏
For 17 years I went to all kinds of doctors trying to find out what was wrong with me. I had so many seemingly unrelated, crazy, debilitating symptoms, but all I was diagnosed with was fibromyalgia. A friend of mine read a book called, ‘Thyroid Power,’ and told me to read it. She said she thought it was my thyroid. I read it, and went to my doctor and told her. She didn’t think so because my TSH was at the right level. I insisted, saying you haven’t made me well! So, reluctantly, she sent me to test my antibodies. Lo and behold, I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis! When I think about losing so many years of my life when I had a diagnosable disease, it really makes me angry. Along the way, I developed many other autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and other health problems, which I am now working on through the Carnivore Diet. I finally have hope that I can heal, at least to some extent.
Within 2 weeks of a pure Omega 3 diet ( grass fed meat, sardines, wild salmon) my TSH from 6,5 went to 1. I had a week in which I had some gluten free products such gnocchi, pizzas and some gluten free pastas. As someone who in constantly fighting with a refractory celiac disease I realize that I pure meat diet Is my best medicine.
Victoria! A Lawyer with a proper understanding of human nutrition would be ideal as a prosecutor against big food and big pharma! We’re behind you all the way! You go girl!!!
My levothyroxine was drastically reduced at age 65 after 3 yrs carnivore. Maybe the younger you are the bette the liklihood of curing, but at my age i am ok with being down to ONE med and off all others 😊
As someone who received my diagnosis of hypothyroidism and then Hashimotos last year, I'm currently going through my own personal battle with the health system and my doctors. I am healing myself with the Carnivore diet. I can relate to this topic. Thank you for covering and addressing these pressing subjects that need to be discussed.
Yep, same here tot hysterectomy at 35 bc of severe endometriosis! I'm 8 months Carnivore .. could and would have raised my 3 children as Carnivore if I had known snd understood .. but I know now only to move forward and be the best example I can be at 69 years old Mom and Gma ❤
Still watching and only up to 55 minutes in and am really pleased that this young woman knows what's going on re the agenda 💪👍Wishing you continued good health Victoria ☺️
My daughter had have her thyroid removed 7 years ago. The doctors were annually monitoring a growth on her remaining half. It was getting larger. She went carnivore. This year’s annual sonogram revealed the growth was gone altogether.
What a beautiful young woman. Praise YHWH for the insight to heal. She even knows that she was made correctly by our creator. He does not make mistakes. So happy for all the wisdom you are benefiting from.
Thank you all for joining Dr. Chaffee in this premier this evening. Thyroid issues seem to be a hot topic right now, so this was great timing! We look forward to seeing you all on the next Live Q&A!!!!
Same with me ... from hypothyroid to healthy keto; still on it. I told my doctor since she can't weaned me off medication successfully, I am taking my health into my own hands. That was 2016, and I never had any abnormal thyroid biomarkers since 2017!
When I was all meat I would actually get drowsy and ready to go to bed. I did not get congested after meals and want to take a nap. Other parts of my body stopped itching, some important nether parts in the middle of the night stopped being irritated and waking me up. Carbs and sugar are very hard to get off. almost like we need carb and sugar inpatient rehab for 5 days.
Great stuff. AC with another belter of a video! 💪🏼 I would definitely get a Rumble channel set up ASAP though, before Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Celeb shuts you down! Flicking a switch to an established channel will be easier than trying to start from scratch after that upcoming tragedy. 🙏🏼
They've known since the 1950s that sugar causes heart disease, but because sugar had an organized industry supporting it, they let themselves be bribed into saying sugar was perfectly safe and cholesterol was the problem instead. I believe Dr. Chaffee has a whole video about that scandal, if you're interested in learning more.
Hello Dr. Chaffee, I have been following you now for 9 month, I really needed to see this!!!! Thank you so much!!! She was a mirror of what I have been living through for 30 years. I have been working on getting 100% carnivore. I have been to Hell and back, currently walking to heathy with carnivore. You and the community have been a God sent!!! This has helped me be 100% resolute and firm on my determination to persist on this path. God Bless You!!!
Any carnivores out there in our communitu, if you have a political or in law type occupations hope you consider stepping up to make change in public nutritional policies and fix what “nutritional guidelines” we currently have as they are corrupt! That is a great way to make change for this grassroots movement. ☺️👍🏻
I'm not in politics or law, but I'm working on a social work degree. I firmly believe this is a social justice issue. Everyone should have freedoms and access to the proper human diet, namely real animal meats. My advocacy effects will include increasing rights for farmers (not industrial) and better information and access to undeserved and impoverished individuals and families. Without a medical degree, I rely heavily on quality research and doctors like Dr. Chaffee for the scientific backing. It's going to be an uphill battle, but people deserve the opportunity to heal, prevent diseases, and live optimally.
@@lulumarie7 perfect, another great idea! Hopefully you can get more people to do the same! We need to public to know their option of food lifestyles and know the risks of eating a heavy plant based corrupt diet like SAD/ Western, Vegan, and vegetarian diets! Everyone needs to know health benefits of carnivore and for some low carb keto and ketovore - then let them choose as you said. The myth thay cholesterol being bad needs to end, the banning of vegetable oils needs to occur, warning labels on processed foods needs to happen, warning labels on plant produce needs to occur as well- such as natural plant toxins and health issues that could occur- ban labels grown “meats”, redo “health” guidelines and food pyramid. Outlaw woke left democrats from being members of “health” organizations and no more allowing plant food industry to buy into “health” organizations. Redo the medical curriculum so not designed by organizations like woke left 7th day Adventists! Ban schools from pushing the woke left democratic “no meat” and “vegan” days on humans under 18! All things that need to be fixed. ☺️👍🏻
In terms of kidneys, I struggled a lot with carnivore at the start because of high sodium and low magnesium, low potassium, I would get kidney pain and lipoedema due to my right kidney struggling after about a year in. I don't add salt to any of my meals and supplement magnesium and potassium now, there is salt in my butter and that is my only salt source, I never add. You get used to this btw, it's not as bad as it sounds. If you have kidney issues I100% recommend being careful with salt, that is a huge stressor for my kidney. Also, my kidney has gotten much better after I found my equilibrium on high fat (lots of butter) carnivore, and can handle more salt than it used to be able to! Sometimes I get lipoedema when I eat carbs again, sometimes not, but I also get think there can be a little bit less stress on my kidney due to the hydration effect of carbs, it's a bit of a mixed bag.
Dr. Chaffee, great interview. You and Victoria had fun chatting. Thank you Victoria for sharing your story. Dr. Chaffee, you are an amazing doctor, and you know what, you would also be an amazing lawyer too! I can see you doing that big time! And studying for that would come so easy for you! You could help carnivore community and bring up issues that are so corrupt with big food industry, big Pharma corruption, and how harmful the “health” guidelines are!
Dr. Chaffee, you are saying what we put on our skin it's in our bloodstream in 20 minutes. Does it mean if we are using cosmetics that have seed oils in them, it's the same as if we would eat the seed oils? They will get in the blood and cause inflammation in the same way as when we eat them? What about Castor oil? If I use it on my skin, will I end up with the omega 6 fatty acids in my blood? Now, if I'm fasting and use such cosmetics and their oils end up in my blood, does it mean it throws me out of my water fast? Thank you so much for clarifying.
I thought I had a recently-developed problem eating chicken. Then found out it's the rosemary I put on it. I'm four years carnivore, and I use spices very, very sparingly. It took me all this time for my body to clean up and my awareness of my reactions to reach the point where I figured out the rosemary issue. I also have started having trouble with pepper. I will be checking into that book about spices that Dr. Chaffee mentions.
Interesting and accurate observation by Dr Chaffee at the 12:30ish mark, when he talks about the solidification of doctor's thinking in and after med school. My last two, and current doctor are not terribly up to date with nutritian nor diets beyond the food pyramid. Took myself off of statins. I got on the carnivore diet to fight inflammation. It has helped a great deal with that. However I've lost weight, which isn't all bad, but too much of it has been muscle mass. My actual weight has never been a concern as long as I was active in sports. Muscle weighing more than fat, I want to reduce body fat now and not so much concerned with my weight. I'm 72 so reducing inflammation and having energy is important to me now. Also, I notice more flexibility having lost weight. need new belts and slacks !!! Ha!
I’ve been doing carnivore for one month now, ALL thyroid issues resolved, energy back, IBS gone etc etc. I decided to let myself have a ‘free weekend’ of sugar etc. I ended up with Bloating, Gut pain, Gas, Sluggish/dizziness - felt like a truck hit me, Constipation, Jaw lock/Tmi, ALL in one weekend. It wasn’t so ‘free’ after all. Back on carnivore today!
The best way to fight evil is to convey the truth, do good, and help people in need with integrity. Dr. Chaffee is updating and helping the health of mankind in this generation. I am very grateful and respect him.
I agree about eating under ripe Avocados being higher in oxalate. The problem is Avocados dont go soft on the tree, they only soften up after being pick. Sometimes its not easy to know when to pick them for that reason and can be picked under ripe. Btw I am carnivore, I just know about Avocados and ripeness.
@@TerriblePerfectionI don’t eat them anymore, but half of my husband’s avocados end up in the can. He eats them until they’re brown and overripe, though. It’s so disgusting!😂
It takes 2 - 2 1/2 GALLONS of 10% butterfat Nigerian Dwarf goat milk to get 1 lb (16 Tbsp) of butter. It's not cheap to make highest quality butter, cream, milk, cheese. Thinking about doing more foraging time with them, getting myself a really comfy canopy chair & projects to work on while they eat free organic food. Would be great to be able to do a real paid job while supervising rotational grazing. They're not happy away from the barn area unless someone is with them. They're needy & social like puppies. But more useful lol.
🎉🎉🎉 Dr. Chaffee, I swear I was just telling my dad about how mad cow disease was BS! You didn’t leave anybody out to dry. Even the glorious Arnold got served 😂 finally someone is calling him out! The only person I know to stand up to the terminator is Brian Shaw ❤! This interview was dynamite 🧨 🔥
Mad cow disease is NOT BS! The cows where infected and when you eat the meat chances are you get it too. It has sometimes 40 years incubation period. Others get it very soon! The Brirish government tried to hide it back in the days when the meat, cows where infected. 1 girl was vegan and ate 1 hamburger and got it! She got more and more anxiety and her eyes looked more and more scared. The doctor and father put her in the psychiatry and it got worse and worse, with medication until she died. The autopsy revealed in her brain Kreutzfelt Jakob syndrome aka mad cow disease.😢 So please, even if carnivore is healing, do not forget nature is unforgiving. All kind of worms, parasites, fungi protozoa and so on can get you. They are everywhere, also on plants, crops, soil, meat, organs, etc. Allways freeze meat for a few days, up to 3 weeks. At least some critters die.
I've suffered with migraines from around the age of 40, I've tried eliminating foods to see if it helps but it hasn't. Now I'm slowly going carnivore and eliminating other foods. I drink coffee with double cream in the mornings. There are so many different views on the root cause of migraines from doctors. Some say it's inflammation of the arteries in the brain, some say it's neuro logical and some say it's changes in the / renewal of arteries. Some claim its constriction and dialation of the arteries ... Would be a blessing if I could get rid of these migraines with diet
I suffered from migraine for a few years. I had to lie in bed in total dark and ear plugs in with my head wrapped in pillows because I had such pain from light and sound. I would lose a day to these and it was always after consuming some sugary treats. Carnivore is the cure for all conditions.Migraine that is a precursor to a cerebral stroke as your brain is being destroyed by the ingestion of the wrong lipids and sugars. When you load up on beef fats as well as the protein from the meat you will never suffer from them again. I can't remember the last time i have taken any NSAD's. I still drink coffee and still no headaches.
How’s your thyroid? The thyroid can cause them, too. I had Hashimoto’s for 17 years before the doctor did the right tests. As soon as I started taking T3 and T4, my migraines went away. Sadly, they stopped selling Levoxyl and I had to go on Synthroid, and they came back, mostly as auras. Chronic auras can be worse than a migraine headache!
Excellent talk with Victoria, thank you Dr. Anthony! 😃👍! Interesting to hear Arne the terminator sell himself out to pea protein. What a LIAR he turned out to be huh? Sound levels were VERY low on this video! I had all volumes up to maximum & could just hear both of you. Please set up your levels BEFORE you start recording; this was frustrating. Your interlude on the 'Carnivore Bar' had decent volume level though!
@@suew4609, you’re so right! Iodine is an absolute 100% trigger for Hashimoto's in the literature. lodine activates the production of TPO, which is the autoimmune target site. Hashimoto's is NOT an iodine deficiency disease. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease against the target protein TPO. lodine activates that response.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last August. Been between keto and ketovore mostly. Would like to heal holistically. Will this video be talking about hyperthyroidism & hypothyroidism with carnivore?
@@wade4114it’s not documented but my best friend of 10 years all of a sudden developed grave’s disease after a miscarriage and it took me a while to get her to do it but she did carnivore and about 6-8 months later her grave’s disease was gone. She actually did carnivore with sourdough bread and raw butter. She had an enormously swollen thyroid, her eyes were bugging out, she lost a ton of weight, she had a high heart rate, she couldn’t stand to look at the sunny sky, she had to wear sunglasses all the time, her sleep schedule was totally screwed up (she wouldn’t fall asleep until around 10am and sleep during the day). She slowly started gaining her weight back and sleeping better and her thyroid started to go get smaller. Once she started seeing that her other symptoms started to go away too.
@@wade4114dr elizabeth bright is good on thyroid I think, i saw dr chaffee interviewed her recently. she sed in some of her vids that hyper/ hypo are two sides of the same coin, from memory, which did surprise me. carnivore is a healing diet, I would have a look at dr bright's stuff maybe, she has books too.
My cholesterol levels are super high, but HDL and triglycerides are freaking amazing. Blood pressure is amazing. Thyroid is great… everything is good except the cholesterol levels and they want me on medication. So the doctor and I have having back and forth conversations about all this. My vitamin d was at 32. She said it was fine. I know better …
I have eaten a plant based diet for the last 6 years and recently switched to the Mediterranean diet added fish and fats butter extra virgin olive oil nuts seeds. My results in the last 2 weeks are remarkable, I have lost 8lbs, I’m not hungry and have no cravings and more importantly my medical conditions have eased apart from pain where my gallbladder used to be, probably too much fat too soon. What would I feel like following the carnivore lifestyle. Trying to find the best advice so that I get it right. Thank you for a very informative video.
Today online at Daily Mail, here in UK, there was actually an article about all the nasties that are in herbs and spices Edit- such as mycotoxins, mould, lead, insect fragments
I don't know about the UK, but I believe all the spices you can buy in the store in the US have also been irradiated. I know they say food irradiation is safe, but they say a lot of things are safe...
Someone in my family had a large kidney stone during her 1st trimester of pregnancy. Of course the kidney specialist Doc, recommended a low protein diet. Good thing the pregnant mama knew to ignore that advice.
@@anthonychaffeemd What does it mean when the Doctor says you have "Non-Specific Hypothyroidism"??? That's all mine ever told me. Is that considered Hashimoto's?
Wouldn't even give me that despite my taking in an A4 size sheet typed both sides with all of my symptoms 🤨He agreed that my thyroid was failing. That was circa 2011, never went back, pointless and I've been struggling ever since. Despite c'vore 16 months I can't lose weight and suffer with the cold and kidney stones. I'm optimistic that I'll get there though 💪
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 it means they have no idea what's causing it, which in my experience means it's from your diet most often. There is a specific test for hashimoto's by looking for is antibodies. If you have them at all, then you have hashimoto's, even if they are below the threshold they think it's ok for hashimoto's. If you have the antibiotics at all, then you have the Autoimmune disease
Finding in Canada a doctor that was willing to do a real full blown thyroid panel has been extremely hard, all they want to check is the stupid TSH and call it a day. My girlfriend has been lucky enough to find a cooperative doctor that allows her after insisting A LOT to check for TSH, free T3, free T4, T3, T4, reverse T3, Anti TPO-Ab, Tg-Ab, the good news is that her antibodies were non existent.
Yes, that’s exactly the tests you need. For 17 years I didn’t get the right tests and finally I insisted my doctor test my anti-bodies. I have Hashimoto’s.
It's the same in the UK. I even paid the NHS privately to test my thyroid antibodies and levels, which were very elivated. I've been on the same dosage for my thyroid medication for over 22 years, and the doctor chose to ignore the test results. I work out 5 times a week, eat mainly fish, and veg, no carbs, and am constantly exhausted, dizzy, and have a racing heart. But the doctor says this is normal! I've just started to do a carnivore diet, and within 2 weeks, I have so much more energy. I've got a lot to learn, but I need to do something because I've now developed three other autoimmune diseases.
But Dr Chaffee what about what about hormesis? When you say if it's not optimal for example to have some blueberries or something else then you won't have it, what about having a little bit of something that is not optimal for you to consume daily, if you consume something like some berries now and then maybe it helps your body maintain homeostasis?
Hi 🙂 I'm French and am in a medical nightmare since 14 years. Crohn, 3 cancers, PTSD... I began carnivore 3 weeks ago after 3 months of research and I am thrilled by the results so far. I have one question : since I don't have my thyroid anymore (cancer) , what effect on my thyroid hormones will carnivore diet have ? Do I need to check those hormones more often (in order to adapt my thyroxin intake) ? By the way, doctors told me that without thyroxin intake I would die, but they lied so often that I doubt and try to double check everything they say. Is it true ?
My antibodies have been high for years, and PCP stated we are not going to check them because she knows that they are high. Waiting for thyroid labs TSH to be out of range.
oh! I just read a comment above... someone had said her daughter had thyroid removed, and was still being monitored for a growth on one side - did carnivore...( can't remember how long)... sonogram now shows growth has completely gone. I've got to get back to it! straight carnivore (6 months in, a few indiscretions occurring, cheese, wine!)
Dr. Chaffee where can we find more information on the Cancer biology you spoke about? I have a sister with bone cancer that has fallen into the false belief that fruit and veggies smoothies every morning will heal her cancer.
I am yet to hear of anyone who has hyperthyroidism (particularly Graves Disease) and doing Carnivore. I hear so so much about Hypo/Hashie's and the positive results.
I have antibodies for both. Was diagnosed with Hashimotos 10 years ago but always had normal thyroid levels. Started carnivore a couple of years ago and within three months of it I was super hyperthyroid with a TSH of 0.01 and sky high T3. I had both high TPO and Trab antibodies and was given a diagnosis of Graves’ disease. I don’t do sugar or bread whatsoever and I have to be careful with iodine intake.
I started carnivore about 3 weeks ago. I have Hashimoto's and over the last year my blood sugar has been above normal. But even on carnivore, I have noticed that my blood sugar is high every morning. I was consuming Dairy but I am stopping that to see if that helps. Any recommendations?
That’s called the dawn phenomenon. Overtime you should start seeing the high blood sugar numbers come down. I put my father-in-law on the carnivore diet he WAS a T2D, and after a month his readings were 250, next week 240, then 230…now when he wakes up his readings are 120. Mind you he’s 73 and started out weighing 310 lbs, now he’s 250 lbs (6’4”) doesn’t take any meds anymore.
Yes. Just gone private for thyroid labs as my NHS hp says fibromyalgia and depression 😂😂😂 Tpo is over 600 Well, who knew. I did felt crap for years. Last year went carnivore and soooo much better. If Tpo that high now then what the hell was it pre carnivore. No wonder I felt so absolutely bloody awful.
Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, been on Euthyrox 100ug for 19 years...bloodwork shows high cholesterol! Any help on where and how to start? Thank you!
I've been carnivore for almost 3 months now. My thyroid is three times worse as well. I have no energy, and my TSH is at 10, which my normal is 1. Any suggestions?? I just don't know if I should add carbs in so I can function. PLEASE HELP!
***I also really like a supplement called Rhodiola. It helps with energy as well. Take it in at the beginning of the day. There is also a thyroid supplement called Thyrovanz. It is cow thyroid. It sounds like if your doctor won’t prescribe thyroid meds for you, I would supplement myself. Google how to supplement yourself. Many low thyroid people have a hard time pooping. If that’s you, look into getting a supplement call ox bile. Take it every time you eat. Start with the 125mg dose. If that doesn’t make a difference, take 250mg and so on until you’re seeing your bowels respond. You’ll know you’re taking too much if you get diarrhea. So just take your dose down a bit until you don’t get it. One last thing, vitamins A, E, D, and K are critical for thyroid. I like Forefronthealth.com for those. Hope this helps you.
Unfortunately my thyroid numbers are not consistent as I still have one nodule left to get rid of. I'm also on a compound medication T3/T4. I started doing carnivore about a year ago. My diet consists of: one Carnivore Bar and pork rinds (for crunch) in the morning. Then in the evening I will have boiled eggs and either meat, poultry or fish for dinner. I will have dandelion root and ginger tea about an hour after dinner. I may have an uncured bacon stick and/or a few pork rinds as I oftentimes still feel hungry. I haven't been eating any carbs e.g. potatoes, vegetables or fruit. However, I did read that the thyroid does need carbs to function, so I bought some avocados the other day and had one last night. Obviously this really isn't necessary as Victoria has been getting good numbers with a strict carnivore diet. These days it can get pretty frustrating. I will try not eating pork rinds, avocado, uncured bacon and do without the teas. Hopefully doing a cleaner carnivore diet will finally bring about better numbers.
So, to clarify… what should TPO lab result come back as? I feel like I’m trying to convince my doctor to take my hypothyroidism seriously, but now it seems she’s convincing me that I’m exaggerating.
It’s not the medical model to make ppl well other than for something small like a cut finger or a broken leg. The medical model is to give you a script & have you coming back for ever. Dr Mindy Pelz was talking abt an app Think Dirty where you can scan your beauty products & find out how clean or dirty they are. Dave Asprey was talking abt how women pick out a different mate when they’re on the pill vs not on the pill.

Great, thank you for that!
@@anthonychaffeemdDr. Chaffee, you are an amazing doctor, and you know what, you would also be an amazing lawyer too! I can see you doing that big time! And studying for that would come so easy for you! You could help carnivore community and bring up issues that are so corrupt with big food industry, big Pharma corruption, and how harmful the “health” guidelines are!
@@JennifertxCarnivorehow much time do you think this man has 😂.
@@JennifertxCarnivore Yes. I agree with Jonelle.
We’re all part of something bigger than ourselves. We’re all called to do something different.
Dr Chaffee is making a massive difference as a medical doctor and nutrition researcher and voice/example to the masses.
Others will be called to be lawyers to prosecute big pharma and big food. There will probably a small army of them.
Let Dr Chaffee continue working in his gifted area.
God bless you Dr Chaffee as you work with the gifts God has given you.
If you put the time stamps in the video description it will show up on the RUclips player timeline when you play the video. Might be a cool thing to try out 🙂
Dr. Chaffee, please see the clip today from good morning America, where Isaiah Caldwell lost 200 pounds as a carnivore to fulfill his dream of healing, fertility issues and starting a family with his wife. :-) Big win for the carnivores. :-)
Victoria is so right. Even after 2yrs of Carnivore, my family still says "you mean no vegetables" or "not even a small piece of cake/pie/something sweat" during the holidays when I visit. My oldest daughter has thyroid issues, and I can't get her to go carnivore (she has thinning hair and just about everything Victoria mentioned), my daughter has however gotten rid of sugar, bread and quite a few processed items, just cannot prove carnivore is the way. My wife of 30 years has had hormone imbalance issues for as long as I can remember that she refuses to take meds for, but not willing to go carnivore (I have gotten her to remove quite a bit of process junk, just not all). I continue pushing (not forcing) to the misses, both sons and all three daughters, I always tell them to just look at me to see what carnivore has done for my health. Due to carnivore, I have lost 100lbs and no longer take any prescription meds and vastly improved to the point I no longer need a cane to walk (misdiagnosed for 3 days cerebellum stroke at 44).
It’s very hard to convince people because they have been told the wrong info for so long, it’s ingrained in them. When I first started Carnivore, only about 8 weeks ago, I had a hard time eating fat, even though it tastes so good. I’m eating it now and loving it! The government and the media are making us ill. If your family sees how well you are getting they will do it, but probably only if they get desperate enough and really need to heal.
❤ I find food and medicine becomes religion in so many ways. It’s hard to change a belief system when so many support there ideology and habits no matter how bad.
Stay strong 💪🏼 stay the example.
Lastly, I once heard a woman say something like, “stop trying to grow plants in a season they weren’t meant to grow.” I think about this from time to time when I want to help ppl. Just know the day will come when the time is right. ❤❤❤ God bless
The hardest thing I'm dealing with in life is loving those i love more than they love themselves.😢
You can take a horse to water my friends but you can't make it drink. Boi I've had to learn that lesson the hard way.
Sometimes we just have to let go and allow each other to reap what we sow.
What can I say, some people want to grow some people want to stay exactly where they are.
Me, I've got other plans.💪💚🙏
I was raw vegan for 4 years! I don’t know how I was able to do it. Feel SO good since doing carnivore! Having Hashimoto‘s, too.
I'm so glad to great that you are feeling so much better!
For 17 years I went to all kinds of doctors trying to find out what was wrong with me. I had so many seemingly unrelated, crazy, debilitating symptoms, but all I was diagnosed with was fibromyalgia. A friend of mine read a book called, ‘Thyroid Power,’ and told me to read it. She said she thought it was my thyroid. I read it, and went to my doctor and told her. She didn’t think so because my TSH was at the right level. I insisted, saying you haven’t made me well! So, reluctantly, she sent me to test my antibodies. Lo and behold, I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis! When I think about losing so many years of my life when I had a diagnosable disease, it really makes me angry. Along the way, I developed many other autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and other health problems, which I am now working on through the Carnivore Diet. I finally have hope that I can heal, at least to some extent.
Stretching and mobility Also made me wonders for body pain, and Also taking Sun and being physically active.
This has just happened to me!!!
Hi all fellow carnivores

Hi from New Hampshire, USA.
Hey 👋🏼
Hello fellow carnivore
Within 2 weeks of a pure Omega 3 diet ( grass fed meat, sardines, wild salmon) my TSH from 6,5 went to 1.
I had a week in which I had some gluten free products such gnocchi, pizzas and some gluten free pastas.
As someone who in constantly fighting with a refractory celiac disease I realize that I pure meat diet Is my best medicine.
were you on any thyroid medications? thanks
Did you take Levothroxine?

@@christophera3330 absolutely
I have Hashimoto for years and one year of carnivore I feel so much better.
My levothyroxine was drastically reduced at age 65 after 3 yrs carnivore. Maybe the younger you are the bette the liklihood of curing, but at my age i am ok with being down to ONE med and off all others 😊
As someone who received my diagnosis of hypothyroidism and then Hashimotos last year, I'm currently going through my own personal battle with the health system and my doctors. I am healing myself with the Carnivore diet. I can relate to this topic. Thank you for covering and addressing these pressing subjects that need to be discussed.
I wish I would have known about Carnivore before I had my gallbladder, ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes removed! :(
Oh bummer! But some degree of healing is always possible.
I'm so sorry, but at least you know about it now!
I have too. But taking ox bile to eat high fat. Listen to Elizabeth Bright. She talks about it all.
Yep, same here tot hysterectomy at 35 bc of severe endometriosis! I'm 8 months Carnivore .. could and would have raised my 3 children as Carnivore if I had known snd understood .. but I know now only to move forward and be the best example I can be at 69 years old Mom and Gma ❤

Still watching and only up to 55 minutes in and am really pleased that this young woman knows what's going on re the agenda 💪👍Wishing you continued good health Victoria ☺️
My daughter had have her thyroid removed 7 years ago. The doctors were annually monitoring a growth on her remaining half. It was getting larger. She went carnivore. This year’s annual sonogram revealed the growth was gone altogether.
AWESOME!!!!
That’s fantastic! We are only just beginning to find out what meat can do for us.
True! I think we're going to find out that many of the things we've been told are incurable are totally curable.
@@itzakpoelzig330 I sure hope so!

What a beautiful young woman. Praise YHWH for the insight to heal. She even knows that she was made correctly by our creator. He does not make mistakes. So happy for all the wisdom you are benefiting from.
Thank you all for joining Dr. Chaffee in this premier this evening. Thyroid issues seem to be a hot topic right now, so this was great timing! We look forward to seeing you all on the next Live Q&A!!!!
I am so happy she mentioned about her mom with one kidney function. I am too. So what a relieved to know, it’s OK to consume meat. Thanks for that!
I am totally feeling this gem of wisdom now to , I had a 13 % kidney function 1month in on carnivore and I am up to 17%😊😊
Thanks for sharing. ..... Drinking fresh spring water 💦 outside under the stars, Ozarks

Same with me ... from hypothyroid to healthy keto; still on it. I told my doctor since she can't weaned me off medication successfully, I am taking my health into my own hands. That was 2016, and I never had any abnormal thyroid biomarkers since 2017!
I want off my thyroid medicine. I'll double-check my labs in a few months. I'm taking this carnivore diet seriously and am only a few weeks in.
@@jessicamelu3353 the body needs 6-8 weeks with thyroid stuff but listen to your body.
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS & PROTECT DR ANDREW CHAFFEE
I am so happy when someone young finds the proper human diet. I’m envious too but mostly happy 😉
When I was all meat I would actually get drowsy and ready to go to bed. I did not get congested after meals and want to take a nap. Other parts of my body stopped itching, some important nether parts in the middle of the night stopped being irritated and waking me up. Carbs and sugar are very hard to get off. almost like we need carb and sugar inpatient rehab for 5 days.
💯 like a carnivore rehab clinic! 🎉
Sugar and Carb Add*cts Anonymous is a great support to beat the sweet addiction.😊
This is such a GREAT interview !!!
Thank you very much!
Victoria has a beautiful smile. So far this is a pleasant interview😁
Whole Foods sold out ... Amazon bought unethical sales to my understanding bioengineered food - buy red meat from local farmer
Thank you Anthony for your work and effort on this front and thank you Victoria for mentioning God. 🙏
I did develop noticable growth in muscles, which was my goal in starting carnivore! I'm 75 and that is significant for my age!
Great stuff. AC with another belter of a video! 💪🏼
I would definitely get a Rumble channel set up ASAP though, before Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Celeb shuts you down!
Flicking a switch to an established channel will be easier than trying to start from scratch after that upcoming tragedy. 🙏🏼
Definitely need to answer for the disease they knowingly caused for profit, the loss of family and friends sad.
How did they knowingly cause it???
They've known since the 1950s that sugar causes heart disease, but because sugar had an organized industry supporting it, they let themselves be bribed into saying sugar was perfectly safe and cholesterol was the problem instead. I believe Dr. Chaffee has a whole video about that scandal, if you're interested in learning more.
Vegan vs Carnivore...thank god I chose the healthy way, the ancestral way! Thanks Dr. Chaffee and Victoria ❤
Hello Dr. Chaffee, I have been following you now for 9 month, I really needed to see this!!!! Thank you so much!!! She was a mirror of what I have been living through for 30 years. I have been working on getting 100% carnivore. I have been to Hell and back, currently walking to heathy with carnivore. You and the community have been a God sent!!! This has helped me be 100% resolute and firm on my determination to persist on this path. God Bless You!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
Any carnivores out there in our communitu, if you have a political or in law type occupations hope you consider stepping up to make change in public nutritional policies and fix what “nutritional guidelines” we currently have as they are corrupt! That is a great way to make change for this grassroots movement. ☺️👍🏻
I'm not in politics or law, but I'm working on a social work degree. I firmly believe this is a social justice issue. Everyone should have freedoms and access to the proper human diet, namely real animal meats. My advocacy effects will include increasing rights for farmers (not industrial) and better information and access to undeserved and impoverished individuals and families.
Without a medical degree, I rely heavily on quality research and doctors like Dr. Chaffee for the scientific backing.
It's going to be an uphill battle, but people deserve the opportunity to heal, prevent diseases, and live optimally.
@@lulumarie7 perfect, another great idea! Hopefully you can get more people to do the same! We need to public to know their option of food lifestyles and know the risks of eating a heavy plant based corrupt diet like SAD/ Western, Vegan, and vegetarian diets! Everyone needs to know health benefits of carnivore and for some low carb keto and ketovore - then let them choose as you said. The myth thay cholesterol being bad needs to end, the banning of vegetable oils needs to occur, warning labels on processed foods needs to happen, warning labels on plant produce needs to occur as well- such as natural plant toxins and health issues that could occur- ban labels grown “meats”, redo “health” guidelines and food pyramid. Outlaw woke left democrats from being members of “health” organizations and no more allowing plant food industry to buy into “health” organizations. Redo the medical curriculum so not designed by organizations like woke left 7th day Adventists! Ban schools from pushing the woke left democratic “no meat” and “vegan” days on humans under 18! All things that need to be fixed. ☺️👍🏻
In terms of kidneys, I struggled a lot with carnivore at the start because of high sodium and low magnesium, low potassium, I would get kidney pain and lipoedema due to my right kidney struggling after about a year in. I don't add salt to any of my meals and supplement magnesium and potassium now, there is salt in my butter and that is my only salt source, I never add. You get used to this btw, it's not as bad as it sounds.
If you have kidney issues I100% recommend being careful with salt, that is a huge stressor for my kidney.
Also, my kidney has gotten much better after I found my equilibrium on high fat (lots of butter) carnivore, and can handle more salt than it used to be able to!
Sometimes I get lipoedema when I eat carbs again, sometimes not, but I also get think there can be a little bit less stress on my kidney due to the hydration effect of carbs, it's a bit of a mixed bag.
I'm pretty sure the salt in your butter is refined and that's not the type your body needs
Does anybody know what sort of salt Kerrygold uses? I've never thought about it before, but now I may need to call them.
@@itzakpoelzig330I wondered too…but I just buy unsalted and use Celtic or Redmond’s.
Dr. Chaffee, great interview. You and Victoria had fun chatting. Thank you Victoria for sharing your story.
Dr. Chaffee, you are an amazing doctor, and you know what, you would also be an amazing lawyer too! I can see you doing that big time! And studying for that would come so easy for you! You could help carnivore community and bring up issues that are so corrupt with big food industry, big Pharma corruption, and how harmful the “health” guidelines are!
Dr. Chaffee, you are saying what we put on our skin it's in our bloodstream in 20 minutes. Does it mean if we are using cosmetics that have seed oils in them, it's the same as if we would eat the seed oils? They will get in the blood and cause inflammation in the same way as when we eat them? What about Castor oil? If I use it on my skin, will I end up with the omega 6 fatty acids in my blood?
Now, if I'm fasting and use such cosmetics and their oils end up in my blood, does it mean it throws me out of my water fast? Thank you so much for clarifying.
Thank you, just what I needed to hear to continue with my carnivore journey ❤

Big pharma and big food - go together like a horse and a carriage 🫠🤪
I can't be the only that sung the Married with Children theme song while reading this comment 😅
Oh my goodness - thank you both!
I thought I had a recently-developed problem eating chicken. Then found out it's the rosemary I put on it. I'm four years carnivore, and I use spices very, very sparingly. It took me all this time for my body to clean up and my awareness of my reactions to reach the point where I figured out the rosemary issue. I also have started having trouble with pepper. I will be checking into that book about spices that Dr. Chaffee mentions.
I was taking berberine with black pepper in it. It made me itch miserably! It took a while to figure out.
When i removed dairy is when the results were just amazing. I have no cravings for anything all day. I eat grass fed beef and sardines. That's it.
How are you doing with those? I’m about ready to start carnivore myself.
Wow Dr. Please elaborate more on the psychological effects of birth control. That is intriguing to hear about the type of men women choose
She’s awesome! Thanks for having her on.
Interesting and accurate observation by Dr Chaffee at the 12:30ish mark, when he talks about the solidification of doctor's thinking in and after med school. My last two, and current doctor are not terribly up to date with nutritian nor diets beyond the food pyramid. Took myself off of statins. I got on the carnivore diet to fight inflammation. It has helped a great deal with that. However I've lost weight, which isn't all bad, but too much of it has been muscle mass. My actual weight has never been a concern as long as I was active in sports. Muscle weighing more than fat, I want to reduce body fat now and not so much concerned with my weight. I'm 72 so reducing inflammation and having energy is important to me now. Also, I notice more flexibility having lost weight. need new belts and slacks !!! Ha!
Try Heart and Soil organ meats supplements, which have helped me with muscle growth at my current age of 75. Hope this helps. Take care.
I’ve been doing carnivore for one month now, ALL thyroid issues resolved, energy back, IBS gone etc etc.
I decided to let myself have a ‘free weekend’ of sugar etc. I ended up with Bloating, Gut pain, Gas, Sluggish/dizziness - felt like a truck hit me, Constipation, Jaw lock/Tmi, ALL in one weekend.
It wasn’t so ‘free’ after all.
Back on carnivore today!
The best way to fight evil is to convey the truth, do good, and help people in need with integrity.
Dr. Chaffee is updating and helping the health of mankind in this generation. I am very grateful and respect him.
I agree about eating under ripe Avocados being higher in oxalate. The problem is Avocados dont go soft on the tree, they only soften up after being pick. Sometimes its not easy to know when to pick them for that reason and can be picked under ripe. Btw I am carnivore, I just know about Avocados and ripeness.
My husband adores avocados but 50% of them end up in the compost because they don't ripen correctly.
@@TerriblePerfectionI don’t eat them anymore, but half of my husband’s avocados end up in the can. He eats them until they’re brown and overripe, though. It’s so disgusting!😂
It takes 2 - 2 1/2 GALLONS of 10% butterfat Nigerian Dwarf goat milk to get 1 lb (16 Tbsp) of butter. It's not cheap to make highest quality butter, cream, milk, cheese. Thinking about doing more foraging time with them, getting myself a really comfy canopy chair & projects to work on while they eat free organic food. Would be great to be able to do a real paid job while supervising rotational grazing. They're not happy away from the barn area unless someone is with them. They're needy & social like puppies. But more useful lol.
🎉🎉🎉
Dr. Chaffee, I swear I was just telling my dad about how mad cow disease was BS! You didn’t leave anybody out to dry. Even the glorious Arnold got served 😂 finally someone is calling him out! The only person I know to stand up to the terminator is Brian Shaw ❤!
This interview was dynamite 🧨 🔥
Mad cow disease is NOT BS!
The cows where infected and when you eat the meat chances are you get it too. It has sometimes 40 years incubation period. Others get it very soon!
The Brirish government tried to hide it back in the days when the meat, cows where infected.
1 girl was vegan and ate 1 hamburger and got it! She got more and more anxiety and her eyes looked more and more scared. The doctor and father put her in the psychiatry and it got worse and worse, with medication until she died. The autopsy revealed in her brain Kreutzfelt Jakob syndrome aka mad cow disease.😢
So please, even if carnivore is healing, do not forget nature is unforgiving.
All kind of worms, parasites, fungi protozoa and so on can get you. They are everywhere, also on plants, crops, soil, meat, organs, etc.
Allways freeze meat for a few days, up to 3 weeks. At least some critters die.
Excellent interview.
I've suffered with migraines from around the age of 40, I've tried eliminating foods to see if it helps but it hasn't. Now I'm slowly going carnivore and eliminating other foods. I drink coffee with double cream in the mornings. There are so many different views on the root cause of migraines from doctors. Some say it's inflammation of the arteries in the brain, some say it's neuro logical and some say it's changes in the / renewal of arteries. Some claim its constriction and dialation of the arteries ... Would be a blessing if I could get rid of these migraines with diet
Dehydrated?
I'm buying blue light glasses as well because my migraines always sits in the front, forehead, in and around my eyes . Maybe it's straining related
@@dangersmymiddlename6341I drink a lot of water plus bone broth
I suffered from migraine for a few years. I had to lie in bed in total dark and ear plugs in with my head wrapped in pillows because I had such pain from light and sound. I would lose a day to these and it was always after consuming some sugary treats. Carnivore is the cure for all conditions.Migraine that is a precursor to a cerebral stroke as your brain is being destroyed by the ingestion of the wrong lipids and sugars. When you load up on beef fats as well as the protein from the meat you will never suffer from them again. I can't remember the last time i have taken any NSAD's. I still drink coffee and still no headaches.
How’s your thyroid? The thyroid can cause them, too. I had Hashimoto’s for 17 years before the doctor did the right tests. As soon as I started taking T3 and T4, my migraines went away. Sadly, they stopped selling Levoxyl and I had to go on Synthroid, and they came back, mostly as auras. Chronic auras can be worse than a migraine headache!
I have a daughter who has Graves’ disease and is vegetarian. But she also has haemachromatosis . Wouldn’t the iron in meat be damaging in her case?
Excellent talk with Victoria, thank you Dr. Anthony! 😃👍!
Interesting to hear Arne the terminator sell himself out to pea protein. What a LIAR he turned out to be huh?
Sound levels were VERY low on this video! I had all volumes up to maximum & could just hear both of you. Please set up your levels BEFORE you start recording; this was frustrating. Your interlude on the 'Carnivore Bar' had decent volume level though!
Recently saw video with Dr. Brownstein on iodine deficiency. Wonder how that fits in with these thyroid issues.
Check out Elizabeth Bright’s videos on iodine and thyroid. You have to be careful with iodine!
@@suew4609, you’re so right! Iodine is an absolute 100% trigger for Hashimoto's in the literature. lodine activates the production of TPO, which is the autoimmune target site.
Hashimoto's is NOT an iodine deficiency disease. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease against the target protein TPO. lodine activates that response.

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last August. Been between keto and ketovore mostly. Would like to heal holistically. Will this video be talking about hyperthyroidism & hypothyroidism with carnivore?
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism as well and can't find much info with carnivore + hyperthyroidism (grave's disease)
@@wade4114it’s not documented but my best friend of 10 years all of a sudden developed grave’s disease after a miscarriage and it took me a while to get her to do it but she did carnivore and about 6-8 months later her grave’s disease was gone. She actually did carnivore with sourdough bread and raw butter. She had an enormously swollen thyroid, her eyes were bugging out, she lost a ton of weight, she had a high heart rate, she couldn’t stand to look at the sunny sky, she had to wear sunglasses all the time, her sleep schedule was totally screwed up (she wouldn’t fall asleep until around 10am and sleep during the day). She slowly started gaining her weight back and sleeping better and her thyroid started to go get smaller. Once she started seeing that her other symptoms started to go away too.
@@wade4114dr elizabeth bright is good on thyroid I think, i saw dr chaffee interviewed her recently. she sed in some of her vids that hyper/ hypo are two sides of the same coin, from memory, which did surprise me. carnivore is a healing diet, I would have a look at dr bright's stuff maybe, she has books too.
Listen to Elizabeth bright
My cholesterol levels are super high, but HDL and triglycerides are freaking amazing. Blood pressure is amazing. Thyroid is great… everything is good except the cholesterol levels and they want me on medication. So the doctor and I have having back and forth conversations about all this. My vitamin d was at 32. She said it was fine. I know better …
My doctor says cholesterol is not the issue with cardiovascular issues. It's actually sugar in all forms that cause heart attacks.
Someone told me if my eyebrows are falling out on the outer two thirds, it’s thyroid malfunction
Classic patter thinning of the hair on eyebrows and side of head from Hashimotos disease.
Yes, it is true -- you lose the outer portion of your eyebrows with Hypothyroidism!
Yep, that’s a side effect of low thyroid! So is a large or swollen tongue. The thyroid affects every cell in your body!
I have eaten a plant based diet for the last 6 years and recently switched to the Mediterranean diet added fish and fats butter extra virgin olive oil nuts seeds. My results in the last 2 weeks are remarkable, I have lost 8lbs, I’m not hungry and have no cravings and more importantly my medical conditions have eased apart from pain where my gallbladder used to be, probably too much fat too soon. What would I feel like following the carnivore lifestyle. Trying to find the best advice so that I get it right. Thank you for a very informative video.
If you try carnivore, high fat is the best way for healing. Try ox bile if needed without a gallbladder
Today online at Daily Mail, here in UK, there was actually an article about all the nasties that are in herbs and spices
Edit- such as mycotoxins, mould, lead, insect fragments
I don't know about the UK, but I believe all the spices you can buy in the store in the US have also been irradiated.
I know they say food irradiation is safe, but they say a lot of things are safe...
Omg🙏🤔

Someone in my family had a large kidney stone during her 1st trimester of pregnancy. Of course the kidney specialist Doc, recommended a low protein diet. Good thing the pregnant mama knew to ignore that advice.

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism when I was about 27 years old. It wasn't until I was 47 years old that I was told I had Hashimoto's.
It's crazy for they don't even check sometimes, and then they don't give the diagnosis when they do
@@anthonychaffeemd What does it mean when the Doctor says you have "Non-Specific Hypothyroidism"??? That's all mine ever told me. Is that considered Hashimoto's?
Wouldn't even give me that despite my taking in an A4 size sheet typed both sides with all of my symptoms 🤨He agreed that my thyroid was failing. That was circa 2011, never went back, pointless and I've been struggling ever since. Despite c'vore 16 months I can't lose weight and suffer with the cold and kidney stones. I'm optimistic that I'll get there though 💪
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 it means they have no idea what's causing it, which in my experience means it's from your diet most often. There is a specific test for hashimoto's by looking for is antibodies. If you have them at all, then you have hashimoto's, even if they are below the threshold they think it's ok for hashimoto's. If you have the antibiotics at all, then you have the Autoimmune disease
@@anthonychaffeemd Thanks so much for answering! I've been on Carnivore for 2 yrs now, had the Synthroid dosage lowered once, but still on it.
Congratulations Victoria 🥰🙏😘
Finding in Canada a doctor that was willing to do a real full blown thyroid panel has been extremely hard, all they want to check is the stupid TSH and call it a day. My girlfriend has been lucky enough to find a cooperative doctor that allows her after insisting A LOT to check for TSH, free T3, free T4, T3, T4, reverse T3, Anti TPO-Ab, Tg-Ab, the good news is that her antibodies were non existent.
Yes, that’s exactly the tests you need. For 17 years I didn’t get the right tests and finally I insisted my doctor test my anti-bodies. I have Hashimoto’s.
Canada seems to be struggling right now. God bless! ❤
It's the same in the UK. I even paid the NHS privately to test my thyroid antibodies and levels, which were very elivated. I've been on the same dosage for my thyroid medication for over 22 years, and the doctor chose to ignore the test results. I work out 5 times a week, eat mainly fish, and veg, no carbs, and am constantly exhausted, dizzy, and have a racing heart. But the doctor says this is normal! I've just started to do a carnivore diet, and within 2 weeks, I have so much more energy. I've got a lot to learn, but I need to do something because I've now developed three other autoimmune diseases.
But Dr Chaffee what about what about hormesis? When you say if it's not optimal for example to have some blueberries or something else then you won't have it, what about having a little bit of something that is not optimal for you to consume daily, if you consume something like some berries now and then maybe it helps your body maintain homeostasis?
Starting my carnivore journey because of Hashimotos!!
Thanks for sharing
Hi 🙂
I'm French and am in a medical nightmare since 14 years. Crohn, 3 cancers, PTSD...
I began carnivore 3 weeks ago after 3 months of research and I am thrilled by the results so far.
I have one question : since I don't have my thyroid anymore (cancer) , what effect on my thyroid hormones will carnivore diet have ? Do I need to check those hormones more often (in order to adapt my thyroxin intake) ? By the way, doctors told me that without thyroxin intake I would die, but they lied so often that I doubt and try to double check everything they say. Is it true ?
Awesome Dr Chaffee!!
My antibodies have been high for years, and PCP stated we are not going to check them because she knows that they are high. Waiting for thyroid labs TSH to be out of range.
That’s not a good way to treat Hashimoto’s. You should have a lower than normal TSH if you’re on thyroid meds. This is the way to control it.
Thank you! Looking more into diet and labs.
Thanks
Thank you very much!
You need to do a podcast with dr Shawn Omara
There are two videos listed w/ Dr. O’Mara on this channel. I don’t think I’ve watched them yet but I plan to now.
Thank you so much
I agree with a lot of things here but how do you explain people healing from cancer and thriving on a vegan diet? Example: Chris Wart
Love this ❤
Looks like Victoria really likes the good Dr...
Well....he really IS easy on the eyes 😂 ❤
Also very similar face geometry between the two, an important marker of mutual attraction
@MrWhite-7 interesting, I haven't noticed. Let me check again and I'll get back to you.
I don't see much similarity.
@bruno-ob8xx the Good Dr seems to be also more giggly than usual here 😝
Does this apply to graves autoimmune disease too? My wife is booked for a thyroid gland removal because of it
oh! I just read a comment above... someone had said her daughter had thyroid removed, and was still being monitored for a growth on one side - did carnivore...( can't remember how long)... sonogram now shows growth has completely gone.
I've got to get back to it! straight carnivore (6 months in, a few indiscretions occurring, cheese, wine!)
Listen to Elizabeth bright. High fat carnivore especially for women is healing
Yessss! Try Carnivore before surgery
Great Video. Can I ask if Carnivore is safe for someone with haemochromatosis?
Dr. Chaffee where can we find more information on the Cancer biology you spoke about?
I have a sister with bone cancer that has fallen into the false belief that fruit and veggies smoothies every morning will heal her cancer.
I've heard him mention Thomas Seyfried and his research for how a low carb diet can starve cancer cells because they can't feed on ketones.
Look up Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
Thank you.
Dr. Who did she do the 30 day Carnivore with? I couldn't understand who she is referring to
Dr Robert Kiltz
@@tanyaburford8699 thank you
I am yet to hear of anyone who has hyperthyroidism (particularly Graves Disease) and doing Carnivore. I hear so so much about Hypo/Hashie's and the positive results.
I have antibodies for both. Was diagnosed with Hashimotos 10 years ago but always had normal thyroid levels. Started carnivore a couple of years ago and within three months of it I was super hyperthyroid with a TSH of 0.01 and sky high T3. I had both high TPO and Trab antibodies and was given a diagnosis of Graves’ disease. I don’t do sugar or bread whatsoever and I have to be careful with iodine intake.
@@jenniferpetty5238did you stay carnivore and did it fix hyperthyroidism
I started carnivore about 3 weeks ago. I have Hashimoto's and over the last year my blood sugar has been above normal. But even on carnivore, I have noticed that my blood sugar is high every morning. I was consuming Dairy but I am stopping that to see if that helps. Any recommendations?
heeyy I have hashimoto too, I started carnivore about 19 days… I hope too that it will help
I think your body needs morw time to adjust..keep going
That’s called the dawn phenomenon. Overtime you should start seeing the high blood sugar numbers come down. I put my father-in-law on the carnivore diet he WAS a T2D, and after a month his readings were 250, next week 240, then 230…now when he wakes up his readings are 120. Mind you he’s 73 and started out weighing 310 lbs, now he’s 250 lbs (6’4”) doesn’t take any meds anymore.
Yes. Just gone private for thyroid labs as my NHS hp says fibromyalgia and depression 😂😂😂
Tpo is over 600
Well, who knew.
I did felt crap for years. Last year went carnivore and soooo much better. If Tpo that high now then what the hell was it pre carnivore. No wonder I felt so absolutely bloody awful.
Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, been on Euthyrox 100ug for 19 years...bloodwork shows high cholesterol! Any help on where and how to start? Thank you!
I've been carnivore for almost 3 months now. My thyroid is three times worse as well. I have no energy, and my TSH is at 10, which my normal is 1. Any suggestions?? I just don't know if I should add carbs in so I can function. PLEASE HELP!
***I also really like a supplement called Rhodiola. It helps with energy as well. Take it in at the beginning of the day.
There is also a thyroid supplement called Thyrovanz. It is cow thyroid. It sounds like if your doctor won’t prescribe thyroid meds for you, I would supplement myself. Google how to supplement yourself.
Many low thyroid people have a hard time pooping. If that’s you, look into getting a supplement call ox bile. Take it every time you eat. Start with the 125mg dose. If that doesn’t make a difference, take 250mg and so on until you’re seeing your bowels respond. You’ll know you’re taking too much if you get diarrhea. So just take your dose down a bit until you don’t get it.
One last thing, vitamins A, E, D, and K are critical for thyroid. I like Forefronthealth.com for those.
Hope this helps you.
Have you got your minerals, vitamins, and heavy metals tested? Might help to detox your body with a sauna.
Unfortunately my thyroid numbers are not consistent as I still have one nodule left to get rid of. I'm also on a compound medication T3/T4. I started doing carnivore about a year ago. My diet consists of: one Carnivore Bar and pork rinds (for crunch) in the morning. Then in the evening I will have boiled eggs and either meat, poultry or fish for dinner. I will have dandelion root and ginger tea about an hour after dinner. I may have an uncured bacon stick and/or a few pork rinds as I oftentimes still feel hungry. I haven't been eating any carbs e.g. potatoes, vegetables or fruit. However, I did read that the thyroid does need carbs to function, so I bought some avocados the other day and had one last night. Obviously this really isn't necessary as Victoria has been getting good numbers with a strict carnivore diet. These days it can get pretty frustrating. I will try not eating pork rinds, avocado, uncured bacon and do without the teas. Hopefully doing a cleaner carnivore diet will finally bring about better numbers.
And get rid of that last nodule.
It also occurs to me the possibility then it may be caused by some chemical in her shoes or clothing
So, to clarify… what should TPO lab result come back as?
I feel like I’m trying to convince my doctor to take my hypothyroidism seriously, but now it seems she’s convincing me that I’m exaggerating.
It’s not the medical model to make ppl well other than for something small like a cut finger or a broken leg. The medical model is to give you a script & have you coming back for ever. Dr Mindy Pelz was talking abt an app Think Dirty where you can scan your beauty products & find out how clean or dirty they are. Dave Asprey was talking abt how women pick out a different mate when they’re on the pill vs not on the pill.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Good song in the beginning ;)
Still trying. 56 years old. Hashimotos and hypothyroidism for 29 years.....TPO antibodies still 158....tsh .006. 😢carnivore 4 years 8 months TODAY
Are you eating high fat, like 80/20?
Listen to Elizabeth bright
Has anyone used THC on carnivore and noticed a significant difference in benefits after quitting?
After 6 months on carnivore I lost all desire to indulge in the 💨
