The Plant Free MD with Dr Anthony Chaffee

Phil Escott, author and consultant who reversed his crippling psoriatic arthritis and now helps others with metabolic and autoimmune recovery. He recounts shifting from vegan to carnivore, discusses diet-driven remission and strict ruminant-first protocols, explores emotional and ancestral factors tied to symptoms, and addresses backlash and practical steps for recovery.

Do you need carbohydrates to thrive, or even survive? This really shouldn't be a debate anymore, the evidence is overwhelming against it. Humans have not only survived but thrived in much harsher and life-threatening conditions, such as the ice ages, for 99% of human existence without carbohydrates. So as far as survival, that's a non-starter to suggest that you need carbohydrates. As for thriving, again the evidence is overwhelming that carbohydrates cause direct harm, without any added benefit as long as you are getting adequate nutrition and energy from other sources, such as our primary diet of fatty meat. You can even see this in the genome, where humans didn't even have the genetic code to make amylase in any abundance prior to the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch, plant carbohydrates. So if we didn't even have the genetic ability to break down starch and carbohydrates from plants, we clearly weren't eating them or requiring them. The evidence goes on and on, as you will see in this video, so as you can see the evidence is thoroughly against carbohydrates being necessary or beneficial in the human diet. This is of course not an exhaustive list of evidence against eating carbohydrates. What are some other reasons and evidence that you can think of as well? #carnivore #keto #healthy #health #nutrition Join my NEW 90-day Carnivore Challenge group on Mighty Networks below! https://dr-chaffee-s-90-day-carnivore-challenge.mn.co/landing/ If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com 🥩 New to the Carnivore Diet?

Olle is a 35‑year‑old physiotherapist from Sweden and the creator of the Swedish YouTube channel Carnivore Sverige. For years he struggled with gut issues, tonsil stones, and recurring dizziness attacks, all of which resolved rapidly after adopting a carnivore diet. On his YouTube channel, Carnivore Sverige, he now interviews Swedes who have used a carnivore way of eating to turn around their own health problems and shares their stories to inspire and educate others. Olle has also organized the first Swedish carnivore event, bringing together speakers to discuss health, metabolism, and carnivore‑related topics for a growing Scandinavian audience.

Dr Anthony Jay, a biochemist and author who studies hormone disruption, explains how everyday chemicals like BPA, phthalates and pesticides mimic estrogen. He covers low‑dose effects, hidden plastic sources, multi‑generational impacts, and practical avoidance tips. Short, actionable conversations on detox, progesterone, and how food and products shape hormonal health.

A provocative tour through evidence that humans can thrive without carbohydrates. Discussions cover ketogenic physiology, gluconeogenesis, and how fat and protein fuel the body. They explore links between carbs and dental/health changes since agriculture, plant toxins and autoimmune triggers, and practical guidance for a high-fat carnivore approach.

Dr Tro, a board-certified internist who built a nationwide metabolic practice focused on ketogenic and carnivore approaches, joins to discuss real-world clinical programs. He describes clinic-published outcomes, strategies for managing LDL on low-carb plans, autoimmune and neurological case observations, and building nonconflicted care models and reproducible protocols. Practical screening and monitoring rollouts are also covered.

Discussion of why dietary fat is essential and how eating fatty meat can support energy and weight loss. Exploration of how stored body fat may lack nutrients and why too‑lean protein can cause problems. Examination of bile, FGF21, ketosis, and metabolic signals that can raise resting energy use. Practical guidance: eat fatty cuts to satiety and be patient while metabolism heals.
