Show Notes
Dr Anthony Chaffee is a carnivore diet advocate who hasn't eaten fibre in a decade, and this conversation exposes how the plant-based food industry was founded by a religious movement obsessed with suppressing sexual urges, why tobacco companies now run most processed food manufacturers, and what actually happens to your body when you eat only meat.
This reveals what changes in your bloodwork after going carnivore, why grain-finished beef is still better than any plant alternative, and how your brain's central governor of fatigue might explain the carb-performance debate better than actual glycogen needs.
