There have been rumors going around that I'm not a doctor, a fake MD, faking my credentials, haven't worked in neurosurgery, etc. This was started by "Dr Idz" Dr Idz and has been pushed around by the likes of Dr Alo, Layne Norton, PhD and Stan Efferding among others. These rumors are categorically false and defamatory, and my lawyers have sent letters to this effect to many of the above named individuals. So let's just set the record straight. I am a medical doctor with a post graduate medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons, class of 2013. This is an internationally recognized and accredited medical school whose degrees are equivalent to the MD degree granted in America, Canada, Australia, and many other countries. I completed my sub-internships at Duke University Medical Center in America in plastics, reconstructive, and maxillofacial surgery, as well as at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin in neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery. I was an intern at Cork University Hospital, and at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin for my second year. After this I took some time off for family reasons as well as to do humanitarian work in the refugee camps in Bangladesh helping the Rohingya refugees who escaped a genocide in Burma in 2017. For nearly 6 years now I have been a practicing physician in Australia, predominantly as a neurosurgical registrar at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, and more recently in my own private metabolic health practice. I have an active medical license and I'm registered with the Australian licensing board, AHPRA, and this can be found easily on their website by searching for for my name on their registry. So for those who have been spreading these lies and false rumors, now you know the truth, and if you continue to spread these lies you will be committing libel and defamation and may get a letter from my lawyers as well if you're not careful. Thank you! #doctor #weightloss #diet #nutrition #weightlossjourney

I've put together a straightforward protocol that seems to work quite well for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A carnivore/lion diet works great for MS, but if you optimize a few nutrients and habits it can really improve your results and spur recovery. By just doing a carnivore/lion diet, there are now people who have not only put their symptoms into remission but have started to reverse their lesions on MRI. Some of these individuals will be in our upcoming case series on MS patients who are recovering using the carnivore diet. This full protocol can help even more. Dr. Chaffee's Protocol for Optimizing Multiple Sclerosis Recovery: This protocol outlines a comprehensive approach to supporting recovery from multiple sclerosis (MS), emphasizing dietary modifications, light optimization, and physical activity. 1) Dietary Intervention: The cornerstone of this protocol is a strict, high-fat, carnivore "lion" diet, predominantly consisting of beef and lamb, with 2g of fat for every 1g of protein, as detailed in my videos. All carbohydrates, sugars, and alcohol must be strictly excluded to induce and maintain ketosis, and to prevent further damage and inflammation to the nervous system. Ketones serve as the brain's preferred energy source and readily cross the blood-brain barrier, where they are converted into fatty acids, the essential building blocks for brain tissue. Prioritize grass-fed fats such as tallow, butter, or lamb fat, incorporating them into every meal for optimal results. Exclusively eating grass-fed meat is not required, these fats can be purchased separately. Grass-fed butter is readily available, as is grass finished tallow, and less often grass finished lamb. Bone marrow and even brain are excellent options as well. Wild-caught fatty fish is also acceptable; however, grass-finished lamb fat contains approximately 20 times the omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) compared to even oily wild-caught fish. DHA, EPA, and cholesterol are essential for myelin sheath regeneration on axons. 2) Nutritional Supplementation: For the first month, consume 50-100g (a few ounces) of liver daily. This can then be reduced to three times per week, with concurrent monitoring of B12 and homocysteine to maintain optimal levels. Maintain B12 levels between 800-1200 pmol/L or 1100-1600 pg/mL (American units). Homocysteine levels should remain below 7. If homocysteine is elevated, regardless of B12 levels, increase B12 intake. If liver consumption is not feasible, supplement with a methylated multi-B vitamin and/or sublingual methylcobalamin (methylated B12). Allow the sublingual dose (2000-2500 mcg daily for the first month) to dissolve under the tongue for at least five minutes before swallowing. Monitor B12 levels as described above and adjust accordingly. When testing B12 levels, discontinue B vitamin and B12 supplementation for approximately one week prior to the test to avoid artificially elevated results. Supplemental B vitamins can also interfere with other blood tests, particularly B7 (biotin). 3) Light Optimization and Circadian Rhythm: Optimize vitamin D levels and circadian rhythm by exposing yourself to direct sunlight for 30 minutes each morning, looking towards the sun (but not directly at it). Refrain from wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, or corrective lenses during this time. Direct, unfiltered sunlight exposure on as much skin as possible, including the eyes, is crucial, and multiple exposures throughout the day are beneficial. Minimize exposure to screens and artificial blue light, especially in the evenings. Wear blue-light-blocking glasses when using electronic devices or under artificial light after sunset. Remember that MS prevalence decreases closer to the equator; emulate these conditions as much as possible. Maximize vitamin D absorption by delaying showering for at least six to eight hours after sun exposure. Vitamin D is produced in the skin's sebum and can be washed away, particularly with soap. Absorption can take up to 48 hours, so allowing at least six to eight hours is essential. Vitamin D3 can also be obtained from wild-caught fatty fish and grass-fed animal fats. Monitor vitamin D levels six weeks from commencing the protocol, aiming for the high end of the normal range or preferably above. While supplemental vitamin D3 with K2 is an option, natural sunlight exposure and proper diet is preferred. Take repeat blood tests every 6-8 weeks in order optimize these levels and maintain them there. Once stabilized with your current diet +/- supplementation, you can can extend this period to once every 6 months. 4) Physical Activity: Maintain an active lifestyle. Nerve stimulation promotes growth and repair. Engage in as much activity as possible, gradually increasing intensity each week. As tolerated, incorporate resistance training and, if possible, sprinting. If walking is all you can do though, then walk. If not, then work your way up to walking. Important Considerations: Underlying Principles: This protocol addresses the root causes of MS and provides the resources and stimuli for tissue repair. The dietary and light hygiene modifications aim to halt further damage. The specified nutrients and light exposure provide the building blocks for repair, while exercise and light stimulate regrowth. The Crucial Role of Light: One example of the beneficial nature of light is UVA exposure. UVA light directed into the eyes (without glasses or other filters), stimulates the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes brain growth, healing, and myelin repair. Proper light hygiene offers numerous benefits beyond BDNF stimulation, but it would be well worth it even if this were the only one. By adhering to this comprehensive protocol, individuals with MS can potentially achieve significantly improved outcomes compared to standard care. For the best results, ensure you are receiving proper medical supervision, particularly with regard to supplementation, blood work, and medications. Do not stop any medications until or unless it is appropriate to do so under medical supervision. *Always work closely with your healthcare provider when implementing any new interventions or protocols. #ms #multiplesclerosis #carnivore

Just wanted to say thank you to Layne Norton Layne Norton, PhD for publicly apologizing and retracting his previous statement that I was a fake doctor, and recognizing publicly that I am a licensed medical doctor and physician after seeing the evidence of this for himself. . It can be very easy to jump on the bandwagon when others say something negative about someone you don't get along with, but it takes a big person to admit their mistake and correct the record. . Unfortunately there are others who are being more resistant to admitting their mistakes in making defamatory and slanderous statements, and for those I am seeking legal recourse. But here at least we've come to positive resolution. So, thank you to Layne for doing that. . . . #carnivore #MAHA #weightlossjourney #carnivorediet #AnthonyChaffee #AnthonyChaffeeMD #instagram #meatheals #yestomeat #nutrition #diet #autoimmune #plantfreemd #proudamerican #athlete #weightloss #fitness #cholesterol #cancer #zerocarb #keto #diabetes #liondiet #ketodiet #reels #lowcarb #doctor #doctorsofinstagram #wholefoods #wholefood

The low-fat carnivore trend falsely claims to mimic an ancestral diet. This is wrong. Ancestors ate high-fat megafauna (mammoths); hunters today still target fat-rich animals (whales, seals, polar bears). Even Arctic fish are fat-rich. Larger animals, especially Arctic species hunted in the Ice Ages, naturally carry a higher percentage of body fat. Significant inter-abdominal fat is also found in the omentum, mesentery, and around the kidneys. Healthy animals simply have more fat than starving ones. Due to decades of processed food propaganda, people now discard nutritious subcutaneous and abdominal fat, consuming only lean muscle. Discarding this fat is not an ancestral practice. Avoiding animal fat sacrifices vital nutrients—DHA, EPA, Vitamins D3, K2, A, E, choline, cholesterol, and saturated fat—essential for neurological function and child brain development. Weight stalls often stem from a "dirty carnivore" diet (dairy, artificial sweeteners). When issues arise, people wrongly blame high fat, forgetting high-fat carnivore initially drove their health and weight loss. Switching to low-fat risks malnutrition and protein poisoning, which can result in weight loss, but at the expense of health. As health suffers, people blame long-term ketosis on the poor health effects, even though this is against all the best long-term peer-reviewed evidence (See my YouTube video "Is ketosis harmful?"l for more). Remember that your hormones like testosterone and estrogen are made out of cholesterol, and avoiding fat will make all hormones suffer. Eating carbs raises insulin and insulin resistance, which suppresses testosterone in men and estrogen in women. Fat is an essential nutrient, and is good for you. Don't avoid fat just because it's trendy and you don't want to give up dairy or sweets. That is good for you, so eat the damn fat. #carnivore #carnivorediet

News update! Women in menopause are still humans! Crazy I know, but true. Nutritional requirements are species specific, and those same requirements need to be met whether you are past childbearing age or not. There isn't a single example anywhere in nature of any animal, male or female, who completely changes their nutrition requirements after child bearing age. Lions don't all of sudden need carbs after they stop having babies, and neither do we. Food is species specific, not gender specific or fertility specific. And hormonal changes don't all of a sudden make a non-essential nutrients such as carbohydrates essential, in fact carbohydrates can be the cause of harmful hormonal changes all on their own, as you'll see in this video. #Carnivore #menopause #nutrition

Don't be distracted by the banning of certain harmful dyes (which IS good) and lose sight of the real problem: processed foods in general. Don't allow the food companies to sacrifice this one thing as a way of protecting the rest of their toxic industry. Hold them accountable, and make sure those in the MAHA movement don't lose sight either. ⁿᵉʷˢ Robert F Kennedy Jr. @MAHAalliance #MAHA #nutrition #weightloss
