Me too...still working 40 hours per week at 70. 4+ years on red meat, salt, liver, fish, butter, and eggs. Better every day.😊 Life is good. Only One med. (Nature thyroid.) CAC SCORE: 0 AIC 5 Lean mass hyper responder.
Agreed. I had to wear one for ~3 months after an internal injury a few decades back. Nothing worse than having your colostomy bag overflow and run down your leg when you're a few miles form home. Yuuck -what a pong!
How do you think about the SREBP mechanism? Saturated fat can activate a protein called SREBP, which increases the expression of genes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. This includes genes that suppress LDL receptor activity, reducing LDL clearance from the bloodstream.
@@Ashlyn-qg5tt What is "the science" that is doing the saying? I'd really like to have an academic article or two to follow up on, if you have it to hand.
I never believed saturated fat was bad. It’s the only fat there was prior to the twentieth century. And ditching fiber in 2019 really been extremely beneficial for me.
I heard a lovely quote once, it was along the lines of - if I eat too many cakes and sweets what happens to those extra calories? They are stored on my body as fat. What form of fat do you think those extra calories are stored in, are they stored as healthy fats, nuts and seeds and avocados? No, they're stored as saturated animal fat. Does it make any sense that my body stores it's excess calories in a form that it's harmful to itself?
@@bushpig6837, What you said here is good old common sense reasoning. Serious scientists (Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Gil Carvalho, Dr. Layne Norton, ...) tell us that common sense is not science -- without seeing any problem with that. They won't believe anything without evidence from long term large population randomized controlled trials to prove it. Common sense tells me that there is something wrong with the studies they continue citing that prove saturated animal fat is harmful.
65, 10 month’s carnivore, lost 70lbs in 6 months, pain in feet, knee, hips, hands and shoulder gone. Skin tags gone, dry skin gone, no meds and feel like I’m 35 again. I find it truly life changing!
I had no idea what skin tags are, so I looked it up. I have another language. And I have to say, that one made me very happy! Had no clue that could ever disappear. They have been there for decades! Thank you so much for sharing and enjoy your steaks❤👍
Hello . Well done on your achievements . May I ask a question please . I have been carnivore 2 months now . How long did it take for the pain in your feet to go please? I suffer with this foot pain for a year now . Thanks and good luck 👍
I CANNOT WAIT to watch a debate between Dr. Paul Mason and Layne Norton. The amount of confidence/arrogance Layne has when spouting so many false things is amazing. As opposed to paul who is so wonderfully humble I look forward to viewing.
The problem with a debate is that it presupposes there's something debatable. Personally, at 67, and 4 years carnivore following decades of being vegetarian, the species-appropriate diet for humans is a given.
Debates don’t solve anything other than entertainment. There is no one size fits all diet. Carnivore can be great, or it might not be. Fiber can be great, it might not be. Seed oils can be great, or might not be. The only way to know is to try
@@holobehemoth While that is true, there is wiggle room inside even the carnivore diet. Some people on keto get 'keto rash' aka Prurigo pigmentosa which is directly caused by not enough carbs in the diet. When they increase carbs their condition goes into remission.
A good friend of mine has finally realized the dangers of seed oils. Having videos like this from healthy looking medical professionals is a huge bonus! More effective than a skinny guy making fun of heart attacks!
I like when vegans explain how eating fiber makes all the toxins go out of your system and your poop is so big cause the toxins are being flushed out, every day, to stay healthy......... where are these large amounts of toxins coming from if you're vegan and "eating healthy"? What toxic stuff are you eating every day that taking a big dump 2-3 times a day is normal - if vegan and high-fiber is so healthy?
I agree, That's a Great Argument. Bravo...! Unfortunately, since your argument relies on Solid LOGIC, I suspect MOST Vegans will NOT find it convincing... LOL x MAX...!!! Stay Well... 🙂👍 -70SomethingGuy
@@jarichards99utube Well, I let the numbers do the talking instead of me. They ask for blood/vitamin/mineral/trig/HDL numbers, I give them numbers. Mine are almost perfect and I was seriusly defficient in several for my entire life, including anemia. My weight is down 55 pounds, my muscles are up. They sit on the toilett, fart, guzzle pills and have poor health. Even if they don't say anything, I'm still satisfied with my health and that's enough for me.
@@stevet5549 Why would I be a follower of a person I don't even know? I see the info he gives and try to see if he has arguments for it, if I can verify it by different means and see what others, who don't think the same, are saying about the same topic. So far, the vegan side has been insults and easily verifiable bad data.
I have MS, since I been carnivore for 7 months, and dont eat any oils or vegetable oils, no fruit, no veggies, I DO NOT have any MS symptoms anymore,,,i feel so good. As soon as i dine out and there was maybe a little oil in the food,,,i have symptoms again. I ask restaurants if they bake there bacon or eggs in oil or butter,,,i think they usually lie 😂😂
I’m doing carnivore, 4 months in. I made two blood checks. LDL raised as my body got leaner. Together with HDL going up and triglycerides going down. LDL is good by this correlation
Who cares what your LDL/HDL are almost meaningless. Go get a CAC Scan and forget about paying attention to numbers that tell you nothing useful to your health.
Dr.Nick Norwitz (of Oreo cookie fame) recently published a paper showing that on a low-carb diet, BMI is much more predictive, inversely, of LDL level than is fat consumption.
I have been keto/carnivore for several years. I also eat a huge amount of animal fat and butter 😋 I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and my pain, stiffness, and inflammation have improved on this diet far better than when I was on the poisonous biologics before! I consume absolutely ZERO vegetables or fiber of any kind. My lipid panel is absolutely amazing, also‼️
Oh this is so good to read!! I have the same! I am a 40 year old woman but i sometimes feel like a 60 yo 😢. I started carnivore 4 months and i no longer eat any fibers, legumes, vegetables, fruits, no milk, (i eat hard cheese and occasionally cream but no milk!), no coffee, no nuts, no carbs at all of any kind, except for dark chocolate because i live in Switzerland and i feel really good when i eat a few squares! Overall my health is improving, the pain, especially the neck, has significantly improved, my hearing loss has recovered, my skin is looking the best it ever has, i have less numbness during sleep, i have less migraines, and i have no more abdominal stabbing pain and bloating, my periods have been the healthiest ever (i have endometriosis!), so… i could go on and on, this is nothing short of a miracle. I still suffer with dry eye and blepharitis and i still have floaters in my eyes, especially my left side - my left side is overall particularly affected by all sorts of symptoms. I still have hope that the hearing loss and tinnitus continue improving and the eye floaters go away… 🙏🏻 For how long have you been on carnivore and which are your favorite budget friendly carnivore products, which one gives you the best results for AS?! Thank you for helping me!!!
WOW! I have exactly the same story as you....pain, inflammation, and stiffness from my Ankylosing Spondylitis has decreased so much! And I, too, eat NO vegetables, fiber, or fruits. I consume a huge amount of animal fat, especially butter, and my lipid panel is perfection!!! Going high fat carnivore was the smartest thing I EVER did for my health!
Thank for a great interview. I’ve been carnivore for over 5 years now. Probably one of the smartest choices in over 70 years on this planet😁 Fibre was not my friend!!
I think my ancestors originally settled in Lincolnton, before moving to Rutherford County pre-Revolutionary War, & pre-Civil War. My late Dad’s families were Callahan (maternal) & Grose (paternal) ancestry. My family is in Asheville, & Wake County. Became Carnivore the last 2 weeks of January 2024. Just stopped refilling my non-statin Zetia after MUCH research provided by Dr Berry & Dr Chaffee. I’m finding this video to be true for my body with a Carnivore diet✅
The world needs to see this! This video should be front page news. Absolutely unbelievable. I'd say don't worry Paul and Anthony they will realise eventually. 👍
I had my gallbladder taken out surgically due to gallstones in 2009. Now at at age 63, I have discovered carnivore eating, all my ailments have disappeared. I noticed though that I eliminate as much as I ingest (once a day regularly). I am suspecting that i am not processing all the proteins (meats) due to the absence of my gallbladder? Aside from this, I have no complaints on my carnivore diet which started 5 months ago. I tried reintroducing some plants (beans ) and I get stomach pain (gas) and pain on my fingers immediately. So I decided to stop "cheating" and stick to ruminant meats, eggs, sardines.
I think I've only ever heard that the gallbladder is important for breaking down large amounts of fat, not protein. The gallbladder stores the bile that is produced by the liver, for times when you consume a large amount of fat at one sitting. You might look into supplementing with ox bile, tudca or similar if you think you need help processing fats. Betaine HCL is another supplement available that can give your stomach acid a boost, it might help breaking down protein.
❤Great repost! It cannot be heard often enough! Paul Mason is amazing. To my understanding he is THE leading researcher of medical data to understand the real connection between cholesterol and heartdesease. Great and such important work!
A PhD nutritionists repeatedly over many years informed his radio audience that one of the two biggest reasons for poor nutrient uptake by the body was the failure to produce sufficient stomach acid (the other being insufficient enzymatic activity). He said there were two Germans studies (in the 1960-90 timeframe) and one American study that pointed to the fact that older people produce less and less stomach acid as people age. He said that the studies showed that by the time one is 50yo, the stomach produces about 40-50 percent less Hcl than one does at age 20; and by age 70, only around 10 percent or less as much. And, as you might expect, by age 80-85, hcl production is at or near zero. This is why he (and many others) could say that most people die from malnutrition, not from 'disease.' Without sufficient Hcl, food goes into the small intestine undigested where it rots instead of its nutrients being absorbed into the blood stream. Without nutrients body tissues can't heal, inflammation can't be controlled, toxins accumulate, and so on. I heard this information about 15 years ago, and now make taking betaine Hcl and digestive enzymes with most meals a regular practice. It would be nice if these remarkable doctors someday addressed the issue of stomach acid sufficiency as one ages. BTW, this is one reason why dietary salt is so important to good health since the chloride in table salt is a main contributor to production of hydrochloric acid.
And why, paradoxically, "acid reflux " is helped by ACV rather than antacids. Neutralizing stomach acid further doesn't help you digest food faster, but ACV might.
Dr. Chaffee, you are truly a genuine person, I just love that you still make time for the "little guy" i.e. I saw your video with Ketogenic Woman, thanks for always taking the time to spread the knowledge, thank you thank you thank you, keep up all the great work you do.
Year’s ago, knew someone who had to leave the room abruptly to let the gas out of the colostomy bag!!! Wow, did the experiment, Prove the difference between meat or veggies and fruit in the digestive tract!!! 😳 So many have suffered not knowing just meat would Help them……..😫 Great job Doctors exposing the LIES! Peace
Thank you for uploading this. I've watched the full interview numerous times. Paul Mason is absolutely brilliant. His presentation "How lectins impact your health" is incredible. Wonder if he can find that much info on other antinutrients as well.
I always appreciate your in-depth discussions with Paul. They are always extremely informative. I also appreciate the citing of scientific literature to back up what is being said.
How good were those explanations from Dr Mason. Save this to show the gp on next visit. I bet he still wouldn’t change he way of practicing. Thankfully you guys care.
Thank you for speaking about phytosterols. I learned about them a few days ago and it’s really changed how I think about fat consumption and getting healthy fats.
I have a bottle of flax seed oil that has gone coagulated and so sticky you can turn it on its side and it just forms a kind of bulge. Wish I could send you a pic! It just sits there, like a solid. 😮
Idiopathic means "I don't understand it and I have no intention of finding out". I've been "diagnosed" with having "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis". When I can barely breathe with a bit of luck in a couple of years the lung "specialists" will say "we can offer you a lung transplant because we couldn't be bothered to find the cause of your idiopathetic (sic) fibrosis.
Just turned 66,and started carnivore 8/1. Is it possible that i'm feeling better already? I am doing this for pain and inflammation . i had a massage yesterday a she asked me what i was doing different. OMFG...You all don't know the pain iv'e been in for years. Thank you so much doc chaffee!!!!!! Keep chrushing it.
I would greatly appreciate it if you included links to studies for ease of access. I'm currently attending a pre-req nutrition class at university, and while I'm mostly just playing along, I am not hiding my positions when required to do homework that demands the typical SAD-based dietary advice. Therefore, I'm having to justify and explain myself at length to my professor. Keep up the good work!
What I find scary is the host of differerent opinions on various food groups and/or food items. I was told yesterday after my colonoscopy that (whatever they didn't like what they saw), is that I need to vastly increase the uptake my input of fiber!! I have not seen the report yet. I eat (very) LC-HF. I never have constipation.
I take a couple Tbsps. of CLO morning & evening during the MN winters. Was able to change a flat tire when it was 12 degrees, while not wearing gloves. Routinely pump gas during frigid weather. Hands may get a bit cold but warm up quickly once I get indoors. Just as it is for cars, need to use the right oil.
@@prunelle19 Great idea, but not so practical for people like me. The 2 T wear off after a few hours. I had 2T around 6:30 pm and was changing my flat around 11:30. Halfway through the change I thought, why aren't my hands frozen?
Great interview! I had diverticulitis. I eventually had part of my colon removed. I asked my surgeon if I had to stop eating meat. He said no. You need to eat it. My gastroligist told me I was eating enough veggies. Mind you my diet was not good.
Your scientific understanding and honesty is great and very convincing. Also nice to hear folks talking about nutrition so calmly and rationally. I feel like the other side of this debate is in large part driven by activists...
I reversed a number of issues with Carnivore: Prediabetes, arthritis, eczema, depression, frequent Herpes, itchy skin, arrhythmia, … feel great now! Constipation got better, but has not gone completely, even with high fat. As I also still struggle a bit with sleep also I suspect some hormonal cause- thyroid or adrenal- which I need to figure out. All probably due to contraceptive pill when I was young. Wrecked the normal hormone balance
Two cuties with lots of facts. Paul Mason has a great way of talking that is so easy to listen to. Great guest, great host. What more could we want? Beside a juicy red, fatty steak…?
I just watched a bunch of videos of Layne Norton by chance, he seems to downplay everything while making fun of the people in the videos he watches. Will be interesting to watch Paul debate him on seed oils.
I also mention what Paul says here in my book, Cavemen Weren't Fat. I mention that most low-carbers blame omega 6 oils for inflammation, but I say that the fact that we didn't evolve to eat seed oils is why they are bad, probably not so much the omega 6 percentage...
Agree, because poultry and pork are rich in omega 6 but they don’t increase my inflammation- contrary to, for example, blueberries!! 🫐 yes, blueberries are incredibly inflammatory to me. I know when something is highly inflammatory because i have Ankylosing Spondylitis and my body reacts immediately to any inflammatory food. I eat plenty of pork including bacon and also poultry that are rich in omega 6 and i tell you: inflammation is not significantly increased. I can eat 200 g of poultry and fried eggs and i feel well. I eat 100 gr of blueberries and i get sick. So… there you have it! Meat is good end of story. My point being; i don’t know about the seed oils because i rarely ever consumed them (im European), however to your point: we are used to eating meat and the body likes it
One of the biggest problems convincing society of REAL nutrition and health today is the whole relative truth movement. By convincing everyone that "their truth" and "their experience" is real and valid, people have taken the next leap into believing that their cells, their systems, their mechanisms are also relative. That basic biology, physiology, and biochemistry is whatever they want it to be. That's why you will hear people - who you know haven't tried carnivore - say things like, "it didn't work for me," or, "I heard that was just a fad." Combined with the propaganda that has been indoctrinated deep into the heart of nutrition and medicine since the 1960's, and we deny science and affirm delusion, it's hard to teach people about proper nutrition.
Tons of respect for Paul Mason.Dr Cris Kenobi who's done research on seed oils is one of the best candidates to debate on this topic but again,Paul Mason is really up there,both of them really knowledgeable.
i believe diet is a very simple thing, you only need to follow nature, history and our evolutionary history, and you will do okay.. seed oils is like eating plastic.
I thought the most recent evidence supports the idea that a low LDL actually increases all cause mortality, especially with increasing age. If this is true, why the constant chatter about adopting a diet to lower it?
I am keto/carnivore in the process of eliminating fiber. All clear to me, but how do we explain this to gastroenterologists who state that we need fiber for feeding a varied microbiome? I believe I heard in one of Dr Chaffee’s interviews that there’s only 2 strains of bacteria we need and that these are sufficiently provided by meat. Can’t recall well though..
Yes and all they want to do is to put you on statins because its a money maker and does nothing good for the body. Told my LDL was high so Dr put me on statin and I cycle a lot mountain bike I couldn't get a quarter of my usual root couldn't lift my arms to lift bike over trees and brain fog real bad so he put me on another one, same so dumped them and said Fuck it and now my LDL and Triglycerides are normal levels due to fasting.
I'd expect doctors to be more thorough in researching things. Fiber isn't just one thing. There are different types and we have more and more emerging evidence on the effects of soluble fibers increasing levels of beneficial bacteria that produce short chain fatty acids, and lowering ones that don't. And growing evidence showing the effects of short chain fatty acids and how they may be important regulators of several aspects of health, both mental and physical. After looking at the different data, i think the logical conclusion is that many of the effects of vegan, carnivore and ketogenic diets come from increased SCFA producing bacteria, since supposedly there are protein based ways for this to occur in carnivore diets as well. Ketones also produce very similar effects to SCFAs. Then the part about coconut oil lowering LDL vs butter. While coconut oil is mostly saturated fat, we have some mechanisms on the assimilation of medium chain triglycerides and their uptake via the portal vein, rather than the lymphatic system like long chain fatty acids, and MCTs more readily undergo beta-oxidation. If these are actually metabolized faster than long chain fatty acids then it would make sense that there would be less increases in triglycerides and likely LDL.
I eat a lof of saturated fat. But it isn't true that there is no known mechanism how saturated fat increases LDL(-C). In reality there is one: Normally, saturated fat is a perfect fuel for your mitochondria. It is like Gasolin 98, it is just very efficient. The problems starts if you degrade the capacity of mitochondria to "burn" the fat for energy. This can be done e.g. by eating sugar (fructose/sucrose) which inhibits some key enzymes in the mitochondria. If you THEN eat saturated fat, the mitochondria starts to "overheat". To prevent the damage, the mitochondria, especially in the liver cells starts to spill out large amounts of citrate. Citrate then gets converted into Acetyl-Coa, which can either be converted into fats (and exported out of the liver as triglycerides in a VLDL) or get converted into HMG-Coa and further down to cholesterol - which also gets exported out of the liver in a (V)LDL. So here you have the atherogenic dyslipidaemia. If you eat sugar and add saturated fat you will cause exactly this (over the time)... The problem is: It is NOT the saturated fat PER SE!
You can google saturated and unsaturated fats. all answers are against saturated fats. incredible. That's what the nutrition coaches out there learn. the same with vegetables and fruit. Stay away from coaches like these who were manipulated and fed false information during their short training. We grew up on animal fats. At that time there were no vegetable oils in my country. Then came the spreadable margarine and butter disappeared from the table
When she was alive, I always thought my mother was eccentric for so adamantly insisting that butter is healthy and margarine ("oleo") is not. Wow. She was very wise.
Ive been trying to reach put to anthony for a bit now. With no success. Ive been doing carnivore for awhile now. With is not working. Ive had chronic lyme for many many years. It seems i may have some version of hyperinsulinemia, pain and pinching in my neck on the right side where vegus nerve is. With never ending popping in my right ear, and in the last 2 years my veins have been itching, burning in hands and feet, most main veins in my hands and feet are dark and visible threw the skin, tons of micro vascular damage threw my face, all joints are popping and grinding, hair falling out, lower back and major hip pain on right side, always amplified after eating, subsides slight about hr or two after eating, but agin flairs up again right after eating. I used to be active in pretty much any sport you could think of. I now enjoy walking, thats the extent of that. And in only 38, i have very little good days and pore quality of life. Im pretty desperate at this point. As no naturalpath, MD, specialist had been able to help me at all.
