Nutrition with Judy | Carnivore Diet

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Anthony Chaffee. We talked about things that are controversial in the carnivore space, his experience with the carnivore diet and how he’s been doing it long-term.Dr. Chaffee is an American medical doctor in his neurosurgical residency in Australia. He’s a former professional rugby player who, over the span of 20+ years of his athletic and medical careers, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes with a specific diet; the carnivore diet.We discuss the following:All about Dr. Anthony ChaffeeThoughts on carbs for optimal healthFasting metabolismLiver glycogenDiabetics on a ketogenic dietThoughts on honeyFruits and seedsThoughts on introducing fructose to meat-only dietDopamine addictionFructose as one of the worst drugs on earthFruit and honey as part of the dietFructose for optimal healthThoughts on carbohydrates and sugars for thyroidThoughts on nose to tailFructose in orange juiceFructose for diabeticsFructose blocks leptinRed meat diet improves testosterone and estrogen levelsAtherosclerosisThoughts on eating meat-only long termArtificial sweetenersRecommended fats for the carnivore dietStoolThoughts on triglyceridesTips on how to deal with information and misinformationWhere to find Dr. Anthony Chaffee ____RESOURCESInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzoRyR_nlesKZuOlEjWRXQQ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@PlantFreeMD The Plant Free MD Podcast: https://spoti.fi/3sbFm2T LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/DrChaffeeMD  ____CHECK OUT MY BOOK, Carnivore CureSIGN UP FOR MY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER_____ ADDITIONAL RESOURCESNutrition with Judy ArticlesNutrition with Judy ResourcesCutting Against the Grain Podcast_____ FIND ME🌎 Website📺 YouTube🏞 Instagram👤 Facebook_____ **DISCLAIMER: I am only here to provide support as a nutritional therapy practitioner and I am not providing medical advice.
