  • Life Changing Information, Too Many Ads

    First, let me say that I love this podcast and Dr Chaffee’s information and delivery with the heat of a thousand suns. He has changed my life, and those that I recommend it to.

    Having said that, I think he’d be horrified if he listened to the audio podcast version and saw how many ads were being inserted into each episode.

    I certainly don’t mind him grabbing his bag, but it frankly just got ridiculous. I wish him the best and hope he will keep doing this until he reaches his goal age of 120 :)... more

  • He’s helped me

    He’s helped me. I’m a newcomer and only been carnivore strictly speaking for about a month. My blood sugars no longer spike nor drop. They are even keel. I’ve lost about 15 lbs without really trying. I eat till I’m full and there is no need to snack in between because I stay full longer. Seems like I’m eating a ton of food at one sitting but I’m only eating meat and/or eggs. When I lift weights I listen to his podcast and that motivates. I love to hear about all the success stories of people rev... more

  • It was all going well until…

    Followed him and recommended him. Truly believed he has important things to impart to the world. The mistake was when he started bringing politics into a discussion of diet. Much like when Dr Baker decided to tell me how to vote - this is something I won’t put up with. Do not quote RFK Jr to me. It makes you every bit as bad as vegan extremists at the other end of the spectrum.
