Dr. Anthony Chaffee is a former professional rugby player turned neurosurgeon, who’s built a massive online following around his deep conviction that the all-meat carnivore diet is the optimal diet for human health. If this sounds crazy to you, you’re not alone…I thought the exact same thing…until I stumbled across Dr. Chaffee’s podcast (The Plant Free MD), listened to every episode over the course of my time backpacking through Colombia in late 2023, and wound up with a fridge full of ribeyes and a completely blown mind regarding everything I thought I knew about health. This is an extremely important episode for me, as Dr. Chaffee’s work has been enormously impactful on not just my own personal health, but my knowledge on the past, present, and future of global health as a whole. He single-handedly dragged me straight through the “All meat diet? That’s crazy!” phase to the “Holy shit this actually is the optimal human diet” phase in record time, and thus I am tremendously grateful he took the time to sit down for a chat with me, to unload some good old-fashioned Chaffee rants on the topics of carnivore, chronic disease, medical corruption, fraudulent science, and more! I hope you all enjoy listening to this episode half as much as I enjoyed recording it.

John LaSpina AKA The Carnivore Teacher joins me today to discuss all things CARNIVORE DIET! Really excited for you all to dig into this one, as this is the exact conversation I wish I would’ve heard myself years ago while trying to figure out what the most optimal diet was for my health. I hope it gives y’all a lot to chew on, and perhaps adds a bit of context on why all these wacky meat-lovers on the internet are so passionate about something as seemingly simple as eating steak and disrespecting plants 😂 MENTIONED / LEARN MORE 📚 Dr. Anthony Chaffee - Plants Are Trying To Kill You Dr. Anthony Chaffee - Plants Are Trying To Kill You (Low Carb Down under Presentation) Dr. Anthony Chaffee - Plant Free MD Podcast Dr. Anthony Chaffee - Interview with Maggie White, 65-year carnivore Dr. Thomas Seyfried - Cancer is NOT genetic; it's a metabolic disease 📚 Big Fat Surprise (Nina Teicholz) JOHN’S LINKS 🔗 → Twitter/X → YouTube → Instagram Support the show BEN’S LINKS 🔗 → Twitter/X → Nostr → YouTube → Instagram → Website SUPPORT THE BEN WEHRMAN PODCAST ❤️ → Share the show with friends, family, and social media → Zap me on Nostr.

Derek Ross, proud owner of the #5 most followed account on the REAL bird app, joins me today to discuss all things NOSTR! This was an incredible discussion ranging from a walkthrough of basic Nostr terminology for newbies (clients, relays, zaps, etc.), to how Value-4-Value changes the monetization game for content creators, all the way to how the combination of #Bitcoin (decentralized money) and #Nostr (decentralized social media) is the ultimate thanos snap that will blow a hole in the modern-day status quo of walled gardens and centralized platforms, changing lives across the world in profound ways we are only just beginning to comprehend.
