Dr. Philip Ovadia

Oct 25, 2022

Animals fed with food they don't eat in the wild get sick. The same thing happens to humans. We get sick with obesity, diabetes & autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Anthony Chaffee dives into the medical literature & current studies to learn what applies in real life. His personal practice as a carnivore combined with his research makes him uniquely qualified to counter arguments against the carnivore lifestyle.

As a medical doctor currently training in neurosurgery, he witnesses the benefits of carnivore in patients. The carnivore diet helps people in chronic pain; that made him eager to go beyond surgery to recommend dietary changes for his patients.

Learn the origins of his interest in neurosurgery, and why a carnivore diet is optimal for humans.

Get to know our guest:
Dr. Anthony Chaffee started his carnivore journey back in his early 20s as a professional athlete. He is a medical doctor and has always been interested in diet and nutrition. He is currently doing his neurosurgery training in Australia.

"I like being able to get a call, see a patient, make a decision right then just do something for them right there. And be able to save their life and so that sit well with me and my personality and how I like to approach medicine, and then the chronic stuff as well, chronic pain, back pain, a lot of people don't like that. I don't like it either, in a sense, but since coming around to the carnivore thing and seeing people's health and chronic pain be just drastically improved by removing certain things from their diet, I find that I can help more people than otherwise thought possible just by recommending some dietary changes." - Dr. Anthony Chaffee
