Intrinsic Factor and Pernicious Anemia

This episode of the Plant Free MD podcast features host Dr Anthony Chaffee, MD in a deep-dive conversation with Jen Martin, co-creator of the Healing Compass series. They explore Jen's powerful framework—now in its second book—for understanding how our bodies respond to stress, illness, and lifestyle through the lenses of personality, biology, and environment. Listeners are taken beyond symptom management into a richer way of thinking about why we get sick and how we can truly heal.

Episode Focus

In this discussion, Dr Chaffee and Jen unpack the core ideas from the second book in the Healing Compass series and how it builds on the first to help people make sense of their physical and emotional patterns. They talk through how personality traits, nervous system responses, and long-term stress can shape symptoms and influence recovery. The conversation is practical and grounded, giving listeners tools they can immediately apply to their own health journey.

Carnivore Diet and Healing

A major part of the episode is devoted to the power of a carnivore diet as a foundation for healing and resilience. Dr Chaffee and Jen discuss how removing plant foods and focusing on nutrient-dense animal foods can calm inflammation, stabilize energy, and support the body's natural repair processes. They also explore common challenges people face when starting a carnivore approach and how to navigate these in a sustainable, evidence-informed way.

What Listeners Will Gain

Listeners will come away with a clearer map for understanding their symptoms, health history, and emotional triggers, and how these intersect with diet and lifestyle. The episode is ideal for anyone curious about carnivore, frustrated with conventional approaches, or looking for a more integrated way to think about healing through the Healing Compass series. Tune in to hear how this second book and a plant-free, animal-based diet can work together to optimize long-term health and performance.
