Dr. Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor and neurosurgical registrar with a background in molecular and cellular biology. He has researched optimal nutrition for human performance and health for over 20 years, and is a prominent advocate of a carnivore-based human diet worldwide. Notably, he’s a former professional rugby player, podcaster, creator of The Plant Free MD YouTube channel (www.YouTube.com/@anthonychaffeemd), and a volunteer doctor who has helped refugees in Bangladesh. His insights on nutrition and health are most fascinating  ̶  most especially about why meat is the best food for humans being so-called "apex predators" and why "plants are trying to kill you"!

In this episode, I have a very wonderful and enlightening conversation with Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon from Tasmania, Australia and one of the leading pioneers of the Low Carb Healthy Fats (LCHF) nutrition advocacy worldwide. We go down the rabbit’s hole of the anti-meat, pro-vegetarian, pro-vegan sentiment pushing the unhealthy agenda of the high carbohydrate dietary pyramid which has significantly caused the global diabetes and obesity pandemic, and which to the surprise of many is actually deeply rooted with the “prophetic” writings of Ellen G. White which led to the current dogma of the Seventh Day Adventist church.

Gary has a longstanding interest in preventive medicine and its overall health outcomes, especially in relation to his work as an orthopedic surgeon performing joint replacement surgery among overweight and obese arthritic patients as well as limb amputations for those with non-healing wounds and other diabetic foot complications. Gary was reported by dietitians working in cahoots with the sugar and food processing industry to the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and a closed-door investigation ensued about Gary’s qualifications to give nutritional advice for his diabetic patients. Gary was issued a ‘caution’ but was eventually exonerated and cleared of all charges.

Keto has been promoted as a magic bullet for weight loss by its supporters and slammed as dangerous by its opponents. It's no surprise - completely removing almost all carbohydrates is not what most people consider ‘a balanced diet’.

With carbs off the table, Keto diets involve a dramatically increased fat intake. At the same time, drastically reducing carbs means starving our gut microbes of the fiber that feeds them. 

Nonetheless, doctors prescribe keto diets to treat people with severe diabetes and see dramatic improvements, and many healthy people swear by keto for weight loss. On top of this, removing carbohydrates prevents blood sugar spikes and crashes linked to inflammation and disease. 

In today’s episode, Jonathan speaks to a leading nutritional researcher to understand whether or not keto diets are a crazy fad:

Christopher Gardner is a professor at Stanford University and a member of ZOE’s scientific advisory board who’s produced a clinical trial of keto diets, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Keto diet showdown! Watch Dr. Westman’s reaction to a leading nutrition researcher’s opinion of keto diets. Who you listen to and what their background is matters!

Proteins, carbs, and fats …  most people understand what the last two are. Carbs are sugars, and fat is, well, fat. It's protein that’s so important to our diets, but so often misunderstood — by the general public, that is.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, scientists have been measuring how protein affects our performance, how it supports and maintains the body’s structure, and how best to incorporate it into our diets. 

From big steaks to protein shakes, tofu to seitan, protein is more available now than ever before. With so many options, surely we’re getting enough protein? 

In today’s episode, Jonathan speaks with a leading nutritional researcher to find out.

Christopher Gardner is a professor at Stanford University and a member of ZOE’s scientific advisory board. He’s pioneering the movement to redefine how we understand the quality of our protein intake.

In Episode 145 I sit down with Professor Christopher Gardner from Stanford University to chat about his research looking at low versus high carb diets for weight loss.

If you’re confused about carbohydrates, fat and how to manage your body weight then I am certain you will enjoy this episode. Dr Gardner is one of the most respected nutrition scientists in the world. 

What's the healthiest diet for humans? Why does this question seem so controversial and difficult to answer? Stanford researcher Dr. Christopher Gardner addresses his findings, sources of variability and conclusions of a 20+ year career studying human nutrition.

Dr. Westman reacts to a video in which someone claims that "low fat" and "low carb" diets are essentially the same and that reducing carbohydrates doesn't have a significant impact on insulin sensitivity.

Dr. Michael R. Eades received his BSCE degree in Civil Engineering from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Pomona, California and his MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS).

After completing training in General Surgery as UAMS, Dr. Eades (along with his wife) founded Medi-Stat Medical Clinics, a chain of general family medicine outpatient care centers in central Arkansas, where he practiced general family medicine for over a decade.

In 1996, Dr. Eades co-authored (with Mary Dan Eades, MD), their first joint book project 'Protein Power', which became a national and international bestseller, selling over 3 million copies and spending 63 weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List. 

The Drs. Eades have appeared as guest experts on hundreds of radio and television shows across America. Their work has been featured regionally and nationally on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC and seen in such publications as Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today.

Dr. Mary Dan Eades was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas and received her undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Arkansas, graduating magna cum laude.

After completing her medical degree at the University of Arkansas, she joined her husband in practice, first as a general practitioner in their Medi-Stat Medical Clinic chain and subsequently in a private practice devoted to bariatric and nutritional medicine, gaining first hand experience treating thousands of people suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and obesity with their nutritional regimen.

Dr. Eades retired from clinical practice in 2001 to devote her energies to research, writing, speaking, and the development and production of the Low-Carb CookwoRx television cooking show on PBS. She has been a guest nutritional expert on various radio and television shows across America, speaking at medical and scientific conferences and to the general public. She and her husband are currently at work on their 15th book, Protein Power 2.0, slated for publication in 2024.
