Episode 257: Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains & And How Cows Can Help the Environment! | PART 1

Don't Forget To Stay For Part 2! I'm really excited for this new episode premiere with the authors of Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains! This goes into proper nutrition from a biological, medical, and evolutionary standpoint, something that is very much in keeping with everything I've been talking about, but also goes into how regenerative agriculture and cows in particular are vital for restoring the health of the ecosystem and environment. "Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains" challenges conventional wisdom about diet and health. It argues that a carnivore-like diet, the 'Sapiens Diet,' is not only optimal for human health but also crucial for environmental restoration. Explore how this diet can reverse chronic diseases, improve human health, and restore the planet through regenerative grazing practices. Discover why plant-based diets may be harming us, cows can actually help the environment, and regenerative farming is key to a sustainable future. Featuring expert authors with backgrounds in medicine, nutrition, and environmental science. We will also be reading this book in my Patreon Book Club this month with a limited amount of free copies to bookclub members, and the authors will be joining for a discussion at the end!

Episode 249: The REAL Cause of Autoimmune Diseases | Dr Anthony Chaffee

The idea of autoimmunity, where the body makes antibodies attacking itself, never sat right with me. Neither did the idea of molecular mimicry. The reason being, when I took post-graduate level immunology before medical school it was very clear to me that this could not happen. When you are immune cells are maturing they are tested against every single antigen that your body can possibly make, and if there is even a week reaction to it those immune cells are killed and not allowed out into the systemic circulation. So your immune system is physically not capable of attacking your own cells. Unless something went wrong in the maturation process of these immune cells, it is really not possible for your body to make antibodies towards itself. While this is possible, it is extremely unlikely and shouldn't be as common as it is. It also doesn't make sense because when your body starts attacking something, it doesn't stop until that something is dead, or you're dead. It's fight or die in these situations. This means that molecular mimicry doesn't make sense either, because if your immune cells have the ability to make antibodies towards a virus or toxin and have that antibody cross react with your own body, then those immune cells were capable of making antibodies towards your body in the first place, and you would have been attacking yourself since your immune system matured, if, and this is a big if, your body was even capable of attacking itself, which it is not. Certainly not under normal conditions anyway. Watch to the full episode to hear me explore these ideas and talk about what I think is actually the cause of so-called autoimmune diseases. ✅ Dr Chaffee's website: www.thecarnivorelife.com ✅Join my PATREON for early releases, bonus content, and weekly Zoom meetings! https://www.patreon.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD ✅Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ ✅Stockman Steaks, Australia Discount link for home delivered frozen grass-fed and grass finished pasture raised meat locally sourced here in Australia!

Episode 248: From Rock Bottom to Recovery: How the Carnivore Diet Saved My Life | Valerie Anne Smith

Valerie Anne Smith is a health advocate whose story highlights the transformative impact of the carnivore diet. She struggled with anorexia nervosa for over 40 years, alongside other severe mental health challenges like schizoaffective disorder, depression, and body dysmorphia. Despite various treatments—including psychiatric medications and high-carb, low-fat diets—her health continued to decline, leaving her severely underweight with a BMI of 11 for much of her adult life. In 2018, Valerie decided to try the carnivore diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods like beef, salt, and water. This dietary change brought dramatic improvements, helping her achieve remission from both mental and physical health issues. Six years into the diet, she reported a complete transformation, leading a healthy and fulfilling life as a mother, wife, and advocate for dietary intervention in mental health recovery. Her journey has been featured in the Journal of Metabolic Health and shared through podcasts and interviews to inspire others facing similar challenges. ✅ Website: www.thecarnivorelife.com ✅Join my PATREON for early releases, bonus content, and weekly Zoom meetings! https://www.patreon.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD ✅Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ ✅Stockman Steaks, Australia Discount link for home delivered frozen grass-fed and grass finished pasture raised meat locally sourced here in Australia!
