- How To Carnivore Episode 22
For nearly 90 years a ketogenic diet has been used to effectively treat epilepsy and migraines without medication, and yet most sufferers have never even heard about this from their doctors. Worse yet, their doctors don't always know either. It has been shown time and time again to significantly reduce seizures in epileptics, and is still used today in top centers such as John's Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. As we are now seeing with the upsurge in people taking on the Carnivore diet, the complete elimination of all plants has even better results.
If you know someone who suffers from seizures, send them this video. If they want a natural way to reduce or even eliminate their seizures and come off of their medications, these dietary changes have a proven track record to do just that.

Epileptic since '90 when I was 13 years old. The seizures and the zombification of my mind through anticonvulsant meds stole my life. I'm 47 now, and started strict keto three months ago. I used to average about 4 seizures per month for the last ten years (prior to that it was the same, but this is the time I have hard and fast data for). Been three months, not a single seizure or tremor since. Keto is the way. Now I can live.
Hello. Question? Are you still on medication? My daughter has focal parcial seizures, and started carnivore diet for seizures and ulcerative colitis. Her seizures have seem to calm down, however, how do qe know when to lower meds? Thank you for any advice.
I’ve had migraines for most of my adult life. On accident, I discovered years ago that eating red meat made my migraine go away very quickly, but they would always come back. It wasn’t until recently I learned about the carnivore diet and felt free to eat how I always wanted to eat that they went away. I haven’t had a migraine since I started carnivore and that alone is enough to justify eating this way.
Same here. I used to get daily headaches and migraines once a week or so. Carnivore completely eliminated not just my migraines but the headaches as well. I'm glad it's gone so well for you.
My wife had migraines every 3 weeks that suddenly quit when she quit eating sugar, processed foods and seed oils. She is no longer over weight. Now she is close to carnivore. So am I. We are both doing great
@@alanlierz3745 I'm glad to hear she is doing better :)
@@curiouscarnivore headaches/migraines can also be caused by blood sugar issues. Angela Stanton suffered with migraines herself and that started her journey of learning and sharing what she found with others. She says low carb is important as a part of her migraine protocol. She wrote at least one book, has her own site and a facebook page.
That's fantastic! I'm really glad that you got rid of your migraines like that
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 07. It took me until 2020 to decide to learn as much as possible about the human anatomy, effects of nutrition (balanced and imbalanced), what epilepsy is and after 2.5 years of research I've learned alot. Keto is moderate when treating epilepsy. Carnivore (alongside an electrolyte regime) is ideal for epilepsy. As long as a epileptic person is taking anticonvulsants they will never trully be cured. The cause of epilepsy (seizures) is excess electrical activity (excess neurons) in the neural pathways. Neurons are produced when 2 different electrolytes collide with each other. In this case calcium and sodium. The problem is that the standard American Diet contains way too much sodium and not enough potassium. Imagine the neural pathway is a wire and sodium and calcium are ions traveling through the wire. The potassium acts as a ground for the ions. Potassium (when properly balanced with sodium and calcium) prevents excess electrical activity (aka prevents seizures, headaches, spasms, twitches, migraines, etc). The proper balance is 2300mg of sodium, 1000mg calcium and 4800mg potassium. Also insufficient sodium and calcium compared to potassium can result in impaired cognition (not enough electrical activity being produced). There are 3 categories of anticonvulsants. #1 blocks sodium receptors (sodium won't be able to enter the neural pathways), #2 blocks calcium receptors (calcium won't be able to enter neural pathways), #3 either keeps the gate open longer allowing more GABA to enter the neural pathways or it causes the body to produce more GABA. Blocking sodium and/or calcium is dangerous to your health. Messing with GABA is unnecessary when the root problem is an electrolyte imbalance. The longer your on anticonvulsants the more addicted your body becomes to them. It doesn't take long (less than 3 months on anticonvulsants) to damage your brain and liver. The best treatment for epilepsy is to prevent it through proper nutrition and avoiding toxins (synthetic and natural).
Thank you for sharing
Hi Turner9069, my husband, whom has epilepsy, found your post last night and has been really interested in learning more from you. He does find that with some electrolyte drinks he feels wired and believes that there is something to it. He is doing carnivore since May. He had a seizure at work in October and cut his head open to the skull. His lab work in the ER showed he was low on all his electrolytes. We got him Dr Bergs but he says something is off with it. Any suggestions? What about magnesium? Your post has us researching an area that we have not really thought about before. Thanks for posting!
@@user-km2wz7dt7mI found dr sten ekberg who formulated an electrolyte drink bcs he didn’t see that there was an adequate one out there. I have struggled with complicated health issues from mold & tick diseases for over a decade. I get weekly electrolytes via iv infusions bcs my body struggles to hold on to them.
Recently bought dr ekbergs electrolyte powder and feel it works better for my body than anything else I’ve tried. The brand is euvexia.
Also listen to Elliot Overton speak about b1 thiamine. Ttfd form gets into the brain & heals it & the nervous system. He goes into great detail on this -I’ve listened to many hours of his talks. He has read all the research on this from USA & Japan & it’s pretty fascinating and compelling,
I’ve been megadosing TTFD for over a month now along with 95% carnivore for over a year & seeing much improvement.
Good luck & God bless.
@@user-km2wz7dt7m Yes, that's what I was thinking too - what about magnesium? It's such an important part of electrolyte balance.
Thank you for this. Really important thoughts. I had to learn the hard way how extremely bad for you AEDs really are. I'm still trying to recover from them. It makes me sick how doctors are trained to hand them out like candy instead of trying to get to the root cause of the issue so maybe they could actually cure at least some of their patients instead of none of them.
My wife had migraines since she was 5 years old. 7 months ago they were every 3 weeks. She removed sugar, processed foods and seed oil and they stopped immediately. Doctors, not one gave her that cure. They were no help. CZcams vloggers cured her.
Same here...I'm sure she is thrilled!!! I know I am.
I call it grassroots medicine. Top-down medicine has been failing us for a long time, so now people have to be their own scientists, researchers, observers, experimenters, etc, and spread the word of their findings to others.
People call that "anecdotal evidence" and dismiss it out of hand, but we live anecdotal lives in an anecdotal world. Anecdotal evidence can serve us very well.
Anyway, the word anecdotal doesn't mean false or frivolous, it simply means unpublished. From the Greek 'an'= not, "ekdotos"= published.
In ancient Greece, things were published by being hung up where people could read them. As long as the public had access to an item of information, it was considered published. So I figure if someone tells their story on youtube and three million people see it, that's more "published" than something in some obscure journal that only a few hundred people read.
If someone tells you "there's a bear in that cave" and you don't go into the cave, anecdotal evidence just saved your life. Was it a peer reviewed triple-blind clinical study? No, and it didn't need to be.
So glad to read some commentary here from people with migraines. There's actually not a lot of discussion about migraine specifically in this video. It's all in the last few minutes. Still very worth listening to. Big thank you for the work you are doing Dr. Chaffee.
I am a survivor of the water contamination at Camp Lejeune marine base. I was conceived and in utero there. As a baby, I had severe "colic" As a child had abdominal migraine. Starting in adolescence, hemiplegic migraine.
Began trying different ways of eating to try to help myself in adolescence.. It was always obvious that it was tied to my digestion. I tried sequentially, vegan, vegetarian, low carb, paleo, ketogenic, GAPs diet, AIP, Wahl's protocol, sometimes seeing some improvement, but still suffering. Terrible migraines continued, intense head and neck pain, vomiting, loss of sensation in my arm and leg, bad abdominal pain, nerve pain in the whole right side of my body, intense sensitivity to light and sound and smells, . . . utterly incapacitating, lonely, excruciating, unable to have a normal job, unable to count on being able to do anything consistently., struggling to deal with the stigma of migraine, the lack of full understanding from most people about what migraines are. Working to keep trying things to help myself while holding steady when they largely didn't work.
I am 54 now.
I have been doing carnivore for 6 weeks.
It's the best intervention I've ever tried.
I'm daring to feel hopeful.
If you are here wondering whether to try carnivore for migraine, DO IT. May need to be just ruminant meat, may need tweaking, may need to learn about histamines and eat fresh fresh meat. . . . Or? . . .
But I know, it's heading in a direction which means, LESS PAIN
MORE LIFE.
Good Luck.
Good for you for continuing to try so hard for so long. I'm glad you're finding relief now.
@@ginaq, my heart broke to read of your struggle! But wow, you are a fighter!! 💪 I love your determination. Has carnivore continued to help you? I sure hope so! ❤❤
You might listen to Dr Angela Stanton re migraines- great info.
Also consider b1 (thiamine) deficiency or dependency.. Elliot Overton speaks about this in great detail & explains the need for megadosing, best forms & amounts & the research done in Japan as well as the research done by dr Derek Lonsdale & dr chandler Mars.
I have had migraines for 30 years. Like, 12-15 days a month. Been carnivore for 6 months. Not 1 migraine...not 1, untill I had a super tough emotional day and ate carbs....next day boom, Big Time Migraine! Back on the wagon, no more migraines!!!!!!
That's fantastic! I'm really glad to hear that you have had such good results with this. It's one thing to see the evidence in the studies, and it's another thing to actually see it realized in real life. Always great to see. Thank you for sharing!
Would you mind sharing how it's been going since this post? My wife has been a migraine sufferer for years and has them every 3-4 weeks, constant low-grade headache, i've been hoping to share other people's stories to see if i can convince her to give carnivore a try.
@@Don-vh9ck I have been carnivore for 16 months now. The only migraines I have had in that time have been the day after I ate sugar and or glutinous foods. Truly, carnivore has been life changing for me in that aspect. I feel great. I won't say I will never "cheat" again, because I will, but I know I can get right back the next day and feel good again! I don't understand why more migraine sufferers don't want to at the very least give carnivore a try. (Beats big pharm poison). It might not work for all, but I know of others it has worked for. And it only took 2 weeks for me to see and feel the difference of 3 migraines a week down to NONE!
@@christyconatser2680I have migraine with aura since childhood. What are you typically eating? How often? And are you adding fat? -Thanks.
I have dealt with migraines since a young teenager. I had noticed them get much less frequent when I went keto. Now at 7 months carnivore, I am thrilled that I haven’t had one in several months. This really is life changing!
I’m hoping this will cure my chronic migraines about 15 per month. I’ve been carnivore for about a week now 🙏
How has it been going for you?
Have you had migraine success with the carnivore diet.
I had about 17 migraines per month at my worst during spring & fall. After four months on carnivore, I have maybe one per week. It’s like I have my life back. I’m hoping that I continue to heal. Thank God! This is such a blessing.
Thanks for sharing
I'm in the same path. How are you doing now?
I remember in the movie "First Do No Harm" about one boy's epilepsy that when the mom found out about the ketogenic diet that the doctor admitted that she knew about it but had never thought about mentioning it.
The funny (sad) thing is that I had read MANY, MANY years ago that seizures in dogs are arrested by giving them fatty marrow bones. Some time later, I stumbled upon Dominic D’Agastino, Ph.D. (smart guy and body builder) whose research came up in my research. He was kinda saying the same things about humans. Then, one day I found myself in a restaurant in a rinky-dink town out in the Midwest where they had a sign posted asking for help for a little girl who had very bad epilepsy. I left the restaurant and got into the car, but all of a sudden I decided to go back in. I asked the cashier for a pen and paper and asked her to give the information I had written down to the parents of the little girl, then I left.
I have no idea what if anything ever transpired, but I often think about that poor little person and hope she’s okay. Btw, it was Dr. D’Agastino’s contact information I wrote on the paper.
I have great respect for Dr Chaffee, Dr. D’Agastino, and M.D’s and Ph.D’s in general, but many a DVM is way ahead of their two-legged serving counterparts.
Dr. Joel Wallach started as a DVM, then he became an ND to help people. His supplements are dosed by body weight, which makes sense. Someone who weighs 200 lbs needs more nutrients than someone who is only 100 lbs. I know when eating correctly supplements aren't necessary, but not everyone is willing to make extreme (for them) changes.
Yes Wen, I’m quite familiar with Joel Wallach, DVM, MD. He’s a remarkable medical mind.
The Charlie Foundation would also be a good resource regarding keto diet for children with seizures.
I really appreciate the information you put out. You inspired me to go carnivore… day 31.
feel free to ask any questions or for tips, how is it going? I'm a carnivorous coach 🥩
@Erika Rouby feel free to ask any questions or for tips, how is it going? I'm a carnivorous coach 🥩
Hey that's awesome! I'm really glad that I could help get you inspired to try, and I'm glad that you like my videos! How are you feeling?
@anthonychaffemd iv just come accross you and am blown away ....thank you so much...I would love to talk to you more about my epilepsy....I'm off meds 4 months first time in 24 years uv successfully done without having granmal seizures ...I have switched to eating a lot more meat and a lot less vegetables but after finding you I'm going to try carnivore properly....iv had a few blips and a few minor conscious seizures that haven't been nice and I live alone so it's a hard transition trying to control seizures myself....I moved onto my own piece of land in ireland a few years ago and live without electricity in a yurt as I felt if I lived this way and.was constantly earthed it would also help the epilepsy which it really did but I'm not quite there yet....its pretty tough as right now I can't drive and I live in the heart of the country but I'm determined to do what I can to cure this epilepsy....would booking a consultation be the best way to talk to you about this a little more ? Thank you so much for this video and others
I get migraines before my periods every month.with high fat moderate protein zero carb I’m free of those migraines..it was the high fat that helped.
I had really awful pms all my life, and since cutting out the carbs, I have to keep track of my cycle on the calender, 'cause otherwise I don't see it coming! How many of us binge on carbs before we get our period? How much does that contribute to/exacerbate the symptoms of pms? Migraines though...that must have been awful. I'm glad you found relief!
How much protein you eat a day?
@@christopherwolf3134 my limit is 30-35.. gms.. 80:30 ratio ..protein beyond that I get body odor..my breath stinks ..I’m 5.1 and 58 kgs..
@@bobbynir2893 👀only 35 grams protein a day? Is that not way too low
@@christopherwolf3134 that’s like 150 -200 gms depending on the meat
Where can I get that NO GRAINS, NO PLANTS, NO PROBLEMS t shirt!? I absolutely love it! Great podcast as always! Thanks!
I really like your channel and watch it often, but as I was laying in bed with a migraine, I thought I'd search CZcams for "carnivore diet for migraines" and here you are just uploaded the exact information I was curious about! Thanks
My kiddo is 17, on two epilepsy meds, and still having seizures. He just went carnivore a few days ago, and is doing great so far. He was already meat based, low carb veggies and berries.
I used to get those unsettling aora migraines but they stopped a few years ago when I went down to one meal a day.
I can only give my experience but I started Keto in 2019 then carnivore in 2020 and my sinus problems all went away plus I have not had a migraine since I changed my diet and I used to get 10 to 12 every year really bad. My chronic back of 6 years also went away and has not come back. Thank you Dr. Chaffee!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad that you're doing so well, and got rid of your back pain and migraines! That's awesome stuff
Thank you SO much Dr Chaffee. I’m so glad I found your video. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 19 on the back of several grand mal seizures. I’ve tried coming off meds 10 yrs ago but I had a seizure. I’ve been on Topamax since. I’ve planning to go off my meds again next month. I’ve been Carnivore since January. I can’t wait to be medication free but still a little nervous about the transition. Your advice gives me hope 🙏
Hello, I am very curious how your experience have been in the last month. Thanks!
Hi Sarah how the carnivore diet cure your seiz... Pls share. Tq
This has been so helpful ❤I’ve had epilepsy since childhood (late 40’s now) and have been wanting to get off meds but didn’t want to be “selfish” in doing so because of the possibility of endangering myself and/or others. I don’t take a high dose and it’s only one drug. I started the carnivore diet a month ago for other reasons but this is the icing on the cake for me! Thank you!!! My one struggle is to give up coffee…but like you said in the video about giving up other drugs 🤷🏼♀️
Would love to hear an update. How are you doing? Did you stay on carnivore and did you try getting off your medication?
Any update. I have been on carnivore going on my 2nd month. I am 40 and have had epilepsy since 5 years old. I only take one medication (Lamotringine) and I have very high hopes that carnivore will change my life. I'm down 38 pounds already! I hope it has helped change your life!!
I have got epilepsy since I was 15, I’m 60 now. Always been on meds, but still have some light seisure activity. My epilepsy is located in my temporal brain section. The only time I get seisures is as soon as I fall asleep, or right before waking up. I never knew that medication can actually activate ectricity in my brain, causing seisures. Never knew about ketones being good if you have epilepsy. No doctor ever told me to go off carbs and sugar! I started ketogenic diet and ketofore because of my diabetic symptomes and arthritis. That helped a lot! Lost some weight too, but never felt changes in my epilepsy. I definitely want to learn more and hope to be able to live with less or no meds and seisures at all!
Fantastic content! My 8 year old has epilepsy, been keto for 2.5 years. His neurologist was happy we made the switch since we brought it up. Very minimal seizures, and very low doses of the meds. Hoping to get him off meds, but we'll see.
Thank is Awesome! I send you both maany Blessings 🙏. We started the journey for my daughter for the same reason. Please update, if medication will be reduced, hopefully it does, and we get the same news, she is on 3 different kind, plus emergency meda for clusters. Again Blessings on your journey.
@ravenwilde3337 so he just turned 10, he hasn't had a seizure in almost a year ( maybe longer). He is also on the lowest doses of medicines while growing. His neurologist is more than pleased with his progress
Beautiful, truly a Blessing. Good on you Mama, you are doing Great! He is Blessed to have you, may Blessing be upon you both and may Healing and Peace always be with you 🙏.
I've had migraines my entire life, I figured out mine are caused from pressure and temp changes. I've been on carnivore for 10 days now and so far through pressure and temp changes I have not had a migraine. As of the morning im writing this the pressure has been going up for a while now, I do feel a little something in my head, but nothing compared to a full on attack. I am hopeful that this will be my answer. I have a family member that suffers from seizures from a brain tumor that is not cancer and can not be removed, I am wondering if this could help someone like that?
This is amazing, thank you! I will share this whenever seizures are brought up again! Appreciate your time!
Excellent conversation, thanks for sharing!
Wish I would have known this almost 30 years ago when I had my first tonic-clonic seizures (and lost my piloting career as a result). I heard of the ketogenic diet then, but it was framed as an obsolete treatment for pediatric epilepsy. Happily carnivore for 3 years and down 160 lb!
I'm so sorry to hear that, you were very misled. The influence was to push pharmaceuticals because they were easier and claimed to be better. They're not, especially when you consider the side effects. I'm really sorry to hear that you lost your piloting career, but very happy to hear that you're doing so well on carnivore!
@@anthonychaffeemd Thank you for taking the time to reply, and for the work you’re doing. The side effects for anti-convulsants are no joke - my first was Dilantin: 40 lb of fat gain in 6 weeks, and sleepwalking thru life for 8 years until I found a doc who was willing to try a different approach. He was fantastic. Take care.
@@davidlee8464 not a problem at all, I'm glad I came across your comment. You as well!
Are you still having seizures? Off meds?? My son has epilepsy and I'm considering this diet.
@@cmg1881Hi - no seizures in almost 30 years (knock on wood) but still on Keppra. My neurologist is willing to keep an open mind about meds but current EEG says I’m not a candidate for that right now.
Thank you dr. Anthony Chaffee, dr. Ken Berry, and dr. Shawn Baker for saving my life in 2022, when i almost died from toxic meds😢. That my primary greety doctor was rising the dosage😢. I took control of my health, by eating only meat ,redmond salt, and mineral water/ omad 5 days a week, and 18:6 fasting for 2 days a week. So for the past 2 years, i have put on remision all my metabolic syndromes, and no more epileptic seisures, no more angiodeama anaphalethic attacks. I can finaly at 53 years old i can keep a job and not worrie that i will hit the floor anymore since 2006 i had seisures. Thank you from the bottom of heart all 3 of you doctors, that saved my life. I learn so much just by watching your youtube videos✋️👌🤙🏻👍🫶🧠🫀🫁🦷🦴👀
I'm also sad to say that carnivore has not changed my migraines at all after more than four months. But I would still absolutely recommend people try it for their migraines as clearly it is helping many. I'm not ready to give up on it. I have no doubt carnivore will do many good things for my health. I guess I'm just a really difficult, complicated case, so it's going to take a lot longer.
Adult with JME for over 20 years. After medications stopped controlling everything, I found keto on my own. The results have been amazing. Almost off of all medication.
A vagal nerve implant can also help for the hard cases as well.
2+ yrs carnivore watching now :)
BUT since going carnivore have not had a migraine !!!! And I used to get them weekly the kind where you can not do things and just have to sit still somewhere etc... sometimes sever nausea etc... all gone ! Also Tinnitus GONE finally
Not to mention so many other things at 58yr old now back to same weight clothing size and build abs etc... of my 20s 30s etc... and no more joint pains no more brain fog
Do not have epilepsy but hope those who do try this way of eating/life
I'm 75 and have been ketovore 10 months. How long was ur before u noticed ur tinnitus was gone? I may have to go full carnivore or wait longer 🤔. I have noticed my terrible migraines gave disappeared tho!
@@denim4821 hello good to hear about the migraines going away for you :)
I am 58 now I did start with keto but did better with carnivore
I think good keto avoiding all the snacks and bombs and to many oxolates is a OK way to go but the carnivore just took what Keto started and turbo charged it for me :)
I would say I noticed it going away slowly and about a year in was very rare I used to get it daily or multiple times a day
After that year mark trying to remember since it was not that often after that year mark if I remember correct but was more the WOW I have not had this in a long time
the snapping on the back of the head thing ? Not sure if you heard of that before but started working really well here toward the last year like if it happened I could do it and it would be gone in seconds
I should say it could come back?
each time it happened the time to next time it would happen seems to double so I guess I could have it happen in a year :) but to me that is gone from a daily or many times a day and now that the snapping head thing works if it does its been gone in seconds :)
Its for sure an annoying thing to me the migraines truly stop you from doing things where the tinnitus is more just an annoyance or was for me
@@ckmaui no, I haven't heard about the snapping the back of the head thing. Is there somewhere I could get more info on this? Very interesting. Do you do strict Carnivore? I can't seem to give up garlic, some onions, and spices which provide so much flavour. Also, I drink sparkling water and have one coffee in the mornings with a splash of cream.
Wauw 🤩 amazing about the tinnitus!
@@denim4821 check out Dr. Berg’s tinnitus video, he explains how to do it.
Ohhhhh Wooooooow I Just Worked AN EPILEPSY CONFERENCE 🙌🙌🙌 GREAT NEWS!!!
Thank you so much! 💕🙏💕 so interesting about the dopamine 🙏 you helped me a lot with healing my 🧠❤️🙏
Wow- is there anything that a carnivore diet doesn't heal? The answer...Imon day 5- easy, yum, feeling well fed & I feel fabulous at 55- thank you for the fantastic & inspiring information.
I will share this video
I started having seizures in 2018 from Bartonella in the brain. I had some short ones- I didn’t realize they were seizures at first and the drs I talked to said I was imagining things and wrote “munchausens” in my medical file. Then I went to er 2 months later & had 6 hrs of nonstop seizures. They gave me a variety of meds & nothing helped so the air lifted me to the university hospital 100 miles away. By that time seizures were done (I wasn’t aware of anything until 2 days later).
The sr neurologist accused me of faking everything & the other neurologist insisted it was psychogenic & likely related to childhood trauma (which i thankfully don’t have). They said this bcs the continuous eeg didn’t show seizure activity while I was there.
My Lyme dr was furious and showed me case studies that prove Borellia & Bartonella both get into the brain & nervous system & can cause seizures.
Based on other serious symptoms he concluded it was primarily Bartonella for me & put me on 4 antibiotics.. within a few weeks I was greatly improving.
Now I haven’t had a seizure since mid 2019. I’m still treating tick diseases & igenex test still shows positive for borellia, bartonella & babesia.
I’m 95% carnivore now & also megadosing thiamine in the form of TTFD. Elliot Overton goes into great detail about this. I’m continuing to improve and it feels great to finally be getting my health & life back after being pretty dysfunctional for 10 years and severe serious health issues since 2016.
Blessings to all of you & good luck on your journeys ❤️
Having seizures due to an hemorrhagic stroke. Tried to get off meds.ended up with 2 sm ones In April
Much respect 👍
God bless you Dr Anthony 🙏 sending you lots of hugs and love ❤️ and also the others in the carnivore community ❤️
Good evening from Canada.
Thanks Doctor 🥩🥩 I definitely feel better following your advice than when I was following Saladino's. I think he held me back from making progress and treating my chronic mental ilness on carnivore.
I'm really glad to hear that Sam! Yeah I hope Saladino comes back around, because I think it would help him and many others who listen to him. I've seen a lot of people get sick and overweight again from listening to that advice, and it really is a shame
@@anthonychaffeemd I was on Saladinos diet since January this year, now been full carnivore (no coffee or anything, never liked it) for 5 weeks and feel much better. I probably had fatty liver the amount of fruit and honey I was eating. I would have been eating more honey than Saladino. I'd go through a kilo tub in a week.. Really bad. Was definitely addicted to sugar and didn't notice until trying to go full carnivore. First three days had really bad sugar cravings, then the rest of the week I felt amazing. The next week I had nausea after eating and didn't feel like eating meat but then after that it was all good! I think the nausea may have been because I cut all the fruit and honey out overnight and went carnivore cold turkey. Probably shocked my microbiome a bit
No one is researching to find permanent cure for epilepsy without meds and keto. Just trying to find new meds which is not the way to go.
My 15 year old kiddo has epilepsy that started at 9. Thought we had tried everything natural under the sun, but not carnivore. This gives me hope. We were able to stay off meds for a couple of years, but once he was put on meds, it only got worse and more complex. The neurologist’s only tool is to increase the meds until he is maxed out, and then add more meds. He is now on two and not controlled and of course they want to talk adding another med or surgery. We can’t even wean him off the ones that don’t work without him having withdrawal seizures. 😩 He did ok on keto/MAD, but we stopped, because it wasn’t fully controlling them. He wants to get carnivore. Any resources for kids? Would love to see a video interviewing teens and kids on carnivore! Thanks for this!!
Did you ever try carnivore or find help?
I hope your kid had his seizures cured by the carnivore diet. This is why I don’t like seizure doctors I have Grand maul seizures. The problem is a lot of doctors specifically epilepsy. Doctors just tell you to turn out more pills and that has been what I have been told by my doctors, my whole life and I’ve had them since I was 7 and I’m 28. I think I’m gonna try carnivore diet.
Did it work for him? My daughter is almost 22 and had them since 15. Been to four different neurologist over the years and only solutions is more meds. This has stole her life in many ways. My heart hurts for these people fighting this. She is currently on three different meds at max dosages. Trying to talk her into Carnivore. I’ve been carnivore for 2.5 months and it’s only getting better!
@@DuckFanDaneI hope you tried and had success!
@@eddiealwan he tried for a few days when I made that comment and then quit. We just started again and he is older and more committed now. Hoping it will help!
great video and great esteem for dr Chaffe, because I too think there is no need for any supplement and to leave everything to nature because our body feeding on proteins and fats has made us evolve healthy and strong ...
It would be good if you could convince your sponsor, Carnivore Bar, to start shipping to Australia again. They would have a customer here.
Wassup Doc, love the content! Do you use sunscreen at all?
Thank you very much! No I don't use it myself, you don't need it on Carnivore. I also did a post on Instagram about it if you want to check that out.

Hello Dr Chaffee, how do I go about requesting a consultation with you, for my son.
Where can I find this podcast other than on Apple Podcasts?
Dr Chaffee. I hope you see this.
I started carnivore aug 13 2023 in hopes to cure anxiety and migraines.
I was only getting 1-3 a year I fell off carnivore a little was still meat based but having holiday treats around November but have been strict carnivore since Black Friday- almost lion diet (today is dec 23, 2023…
I have suffered more migraines now than I did on paleo…
I’ve had a migraine on 11/ 20 11/23 12/9 and now 12/23.
I’ve never experienced so many back to back..
My cycle is starting soon between the 20-25th each month… but I’ve never gotten migraines every month around my period. Again usually only 1-3x a year.
Any help? Or advice!? I’m beginning to think that carnivore is making it worse
Thanks for the great information!!!
I have epilepsy and taking Lamotrigine 75mg a day. Also have Atrophy of the Cerebellum, but thanks God l don't have yet any symptoms. (Only loosing memory.) My neurologist don't give importance to the Atrophy, but I am scare of what I see in CZcams.
Is Carnivore diet good for the Atrophy of the Cerebellum???
Thanks!!!
Doc..how would you treat c diff with carnivore? Any suplement?
As Soooon As im UnJailed From FaceBook i Will Be SHARING THIS 🔥🔥
Good day Doctor. I've been taking Dilantin since 1991. Always had yearly blood draw for level, no problems and seizure free since. Went strict carnivore 7 weeks ago. Immediately had energy level increase and felt great. Now, motivation problems and borderline depression have started. Could i possibly be experiencing Dilantin toxicity? Or possibly carb withdrawal?
I've been carnivore for a little over 3 months and haven't had a migraine since I started. I was keto for 6 years before that which improved the migraines but I would still get them a couple times a month.
too many plants on keto
@@ascendtoaesthetics 100% I had no idea I just needed to get rid of the plants.
You’re too funny, a steaksicle 😀🤣 Considering some of the oddities I’ve seen on I-75 in Atlanta during rush hour I might do a second glance 😀
I used to have really bad headaches with my seasonal allergies. Not any more 😃.
My seasonal allergies disappeared entirely when I cut out the carbs. Funny thing is, I was all hopped up on allergy meds when I heard about the carnivore diet. Had I not been, I suspect I might not have made such a sudden, drastic change. 😄
Dr. Chaffe i have epilepsy and im on carnivore. How do i talk to my neuroligist? Resources to suggest for epilepsy/carnivore? Do you have a book about this? Wouldnt it be great if insurance paid for perscribed meat?😊
My neurosurgeon said these diets are dangerous, the kids have to .monitored in the hospital.drppped him. Love my PA better
My 7yo son has had seizures 3 time with fever, last episode last December. We are currently doing some check up. EEG with sleep deprivation found some abnormalities but we can't understand the seriousness of it. We have a visit planned with a neuropsychiatric in 3 weeks time. I do not trust the medical system very much. I am afraid I will never manage to convince my wife to try to put my son on a carnivore diet. I am the only one doing it. Do you have any advice? Thank you!
Would your wife be willing to watch videos from Dr. Chaffee and others, maybe some testimonials from Dr. Baker's Revero channel?
Anyone experience or hear of anyone using low carb/zero carb diet to treat pseudo seizures?
I have been on carnivore for 4 months and still have chronic migraines and lots of inflammation. I have had migraines for over 30 years.
I am doing BBB&E but still using dairy and sugar free sweeteners in my coffee and lmnt in my water twice daily. Could having dairy and sweeteners be the reason they won't go away?
Hi, yes they can definitely cause issues. The diet change won't fix all migraines, as there are different causes, but it's best to go strict red meat and water with nothing else for best results. And definitely no sweeteners of any kind, ever good luck with it!
Watching from toronto
Unfortunately carnivore did not help my chronic migraines. I needed a therapeutic keto diet for that; similar to the strict keto diet for epilepsy. Carnivore contained too much protein for me, the excess protein caused migraines. Although I still eat mostly animal based foods; a few veg thrown in to carry the fat (butter, etc).
Did you try just adding more fat on carnivore? I take 3 tablespoons of mct oil a day and I eat butter with my fatty cuts if meat.
You could do zero plants high fat diet still on Carnivore. Whats the problem with that? Keto is meat + plants, i guess you dont need plants to be in ketosis.
@@bijanbonyadi1787 yes I could definitely do that and maybe down the road I will give the plants up 100%.
I don't need veg to put butter on, I eat it straight from the stick (with spoon, fork...I don't just take a bite from it lol). My mother likes butter but thinks that's gross. I don't care if people look at me weird. It does have to be salted for me, though.
@@laural1543 could it have been the casomorphines from milk that caused the migraines?
Hi Dr... I'm from Kuala Lumpur... My son doing keto with 80fats and 20%protein and carb from veg... Now 1.5 year free seizures but still on med (carbamazepine) oya seizures because mininghitis TB.. So plan off med... What you think. Tq... Or any in here same issue... Pls share. Tq
My daughter sells pruvit it
ketones, as the type two diabetic it made me feel like crap and it raised my sugars about 45 points. If you’re coming from a standard American diet it might work but if you’re taking it while on keto or carnivore it makes things worse.
my son has from seizures front ( left) temporal lobe due to mini stroke at 6 weeks old. he is 39 , and takes 2 meds ,uncontrolled, can keto or carnivore lessen his seizure activity???
It absolutely can help. Whether it gets him off medications completely is hard to say, as he has damage to areas of his brain, but yes it should treated his seizure threshold either way. Carnivore in particular. And, hell get all of the other benefits of Carnivore as well, which there are many.
I've been carnivore (mostly lion) for nearly four months now. I'm still having TC seizures. In fact I'm having more in the past few months than I've ever had before. Though I don't think that's caused by the diet. More likely it's what the last AED did to my system that I'm still dealing with. Hoping and praying carnivore can help me get them under control. I am finding staying in high ketosis is actually harder on carnivore than keto, though that's also likely due to my dairy and egg intolerance. My options seem to be too limited to make it work really well. I may have to end up going just "mostly" carnivore to really get my ketones up higher.
Tag would be Lee Trevino, golfer hit by lightening
Dr Josh Turknett and Dr Angela Stanton both talk out low carb/ zero carb helping with migraines.
Dr. Chaffee, what is your view on supplementing with Potassium and vit. C on the Carnivore diet?
Hi Aura, you definitely don't need to supplement with vitamin C and I have never actually seen a clinical need to supplement potassium either. You should get everything you need just from eating meat by definition as it is are biologically appropriate diet.
@@anthonychaffeemd Thank you.
@@aurapopescu1875 no problem!
@@anthonychaffeemd Is the RDA of 4,000 mg too high? That would require some 4+ lb of beef, wouldn't it?
@@jdrobison1967 I'd wonder if the RDA for potassium is similar to vitamin C in terms of being artificially high based on people consuming carbs. Too much potassium can stop the heart.
Oh come on, the bees add the enzyme invertase to the nectar, that is then dehydrated into honey.
I am a beekeeper and low carb. We eat honey in our house medicinally. Great for sore throats and coughs, and cuts. I had a horrible open road rash when I fell off my bike, the honey healed it up beautifully and quickly. No scars.
So you just applied it to the outside of your body?

30+ years of migraines and headaches gone once I ditched seed oils!
That's great! Very glad to hear that!
Hit the like button! Get the word out
What you are describing in the beginning is called a Hemiplegic migraine, you have to see a headache specialist, regular doctors don’t know anything about them. Have to see a specialist.
edward snowden also had seizures
How about dopamine and , dare I say, shrooms ? Are there any counterindications , doc, for shrooms besides the legality ?I'm thinking epilepsi . Medicines ?
Seems psilocybin has positive effects on many brain related malfunctions/diseases stemming from low dopamine .Parkinson being one.

I have eaten only beef and salt and water for three and a half years except for 2 times trying pork, then turkey, and then another time fruit, which caused lots of problems.
I have been eating grass-fed vacuum sealed ground beef for almost 2 years. But the grass-fed fat that I added to the meat was not vacuum sealed and would often smell slightly rancid. I have attributed my lingering swelling problems and gut problems to this fat which was becoming oxidized and developing histamines which I must be very sensitive to.
And so I tried to introduce grain-fed beef from the grocery store but would end up with explosive diarrhea. This I tried many many times because I was struggling even with the grass fed beef and I think it was because of the oxidized fat.
I have found that I have to eat meat that has been vacuum-sealed while still fresh. Otherwise the oxidation that occurs is detrimental and causes some swelling and gut problems. If the meat has been vacuum sealed while still fresh, in other words not exposed to the air, then I can eat grain-fed beef without any problem. In fact my swelling and gut problems are totally gone and my neuropathy phenomena it's pretty much healed.
I have also found that if I drink too much water too soon after eating a meal, I will get acid reflux. Taking a little dash of salt alleviates this to a large degree. But I have to be careful not to eat too much salt because then my body retains the water and my legs swell.
I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is an autoimmune disease and I'm 72 years old. Most of my health problems have been healed with this meat only diet.
I also tried the Paleomedicina way of eating very little meat and lots of fat but I couldn't do it since I lost too much weight and became very weak and wobbly.
So that then, in September, while doing my exercises I fell off a raised mattress onto the floor and broke my hip. The surgeon said that my bones were normal for my age which means I no longer have osteoporosis and that is why only the ball at the top of the femur had broken off and not the hip joint.
Since the Paleomedicina diet or the PKD didn't heal my thyroid I am back on Synthroid again after two years without it, but only a minimal amount.
I love this carnivore diet and this way of eating and hope to never have to go back to the SAD diet or any other way of eating!
Might consider finding a professional who helps people supplement iodine. Not sure if Dr. David Brownstein is taking new patients, but he uses iodine to heal thyroid issues.
You must be similar to Mikhaila Peterson where aged beef (oxidisation) causes problems to her - she too can only eat freshly slaughtered meat.
What's your thoughts on vertigo? Would carnivore help someone who has that?
might try the info at this site (Andrew Saul pushes low fat, etc, which I disagree with but his nutrient info may still be valid) - doctoryourself search Meniere's Syndrome and Tinnitus
I just want to say, try carnivore if you want. I'm NOT discouraging anyone from trying carnivore, from all the testimonials it has helped many health issues.
I am on my first week of carnivore and my main reason for starting it is due to chronic Vestibular Migraine. Vertigo is the worst and so is being dizzy everyday and off balance. Anyway haha to my question, has this diet helped you with vertigo?
Hemlock (Conium Maculatum) is used as a homeopathic remedy for various things including paralysis and vertigo.
Playing devil's advocate here but I think it's so interesting how eating plants harms us yet that's where (most) our medicines come from that heals us 🤔
What we today are not plants ...but fertilizer assisted grains ....what good comes out of them and if you consider processed food they are hazardous for human health and the rise of carnivore is a sure fact that everything is not alright with our diet
Well the thumbnail beard is good too. Perhaps because I have one myself. Wouldn't be surprised if that plays a role. You are a very good advocate for the diet, doc. You AND the obviously the superior palatability of the diet. Thank you. Cannot get my parents on board . Deliberate ignorance is a bitch. I guess letting go is my lesson in this.
I do my best to share your message . I like them loads. However, hour long videos is a lot to ask people to "endure" that perhaps are NOT directly interested in these subjects.Perhaps shorts could lead the horse to drink (?) Surprisingly people are way too busy to care about health and way too much onto comfort eating- probably because of said business.
Dr Chaffee. I’ve been following strict carnivore for 49 days. I’ve seen many improvements but still am so so fatigued during the day. My mouth is super dry and I’m drinking lots of water, salting my meat and eating til I don’t want anymore. Am I eating too much protein? Not enough fat? I don’t like the fattier cuts of meat but add ghee when cooking. Feel like I’m doing something wrong bc everyone speaks of this wonderful energy from going carnivore. 56 yr old post menopausal female. Thank you for sharing this important info.
I believe he usually asks if you are drinking coffee or using any artificial sweetners.
Are you on any medications? That could also be affecting things. Also, you may be dehydrated if your mouth is dry, you may want to try less salt or more water. In my case upping my fat intake helps with energy. Play around with different fat ratios. Most importantly give it some time, your body may need more time to heal. I've been doing carnivore for 3 months now and I had low energy for quite some time and still do occasionally but things have improved quite a bit. One thing that helped me is fasting. If I do an extended fast for 24 to 48 hours I feel amazing, I have tons of energy. Carnivore enables me to go that long without eating very easily. My longest fast so far was 80 hours but 48 hours is the sweet spot for me.
Are you using any electrolytes? Try adding electrolytes. I don't mean Gatorade, but either Ultima Replenisher or Robb Wolf's LMNT
I'd guess it took my body almost half a year to adapt. I didn't wean off the carbs onto meat, and I'd been mostly vegetarian for 40 years. It was a long, slow process, and I worried that it was doing more harm than good, but I was desperate and willing to stick it out, even if it killed me. It didn't kill me. 🙃
@@edwarda7311 thanks for your reply. I don’t drink coffee & have never used artificial sweeteners. But those are good questions & would make sense to be an issue!
Car steak👍Right up there with Purse bacon!❤️
Haha, definitely!
The comment about not driving in the US unless you’re seizure-free for 6 months is not 100% true. It’s true if that’s your first seizure and it’s also true if you have a seizure disorder and don’t have warnings prior that allow ample time to pull over. However, if you do ALWAYS have a warning prior, with ample time to allow you to pull over prior to the seizure, then you are allowed to drive. I have ALWAYS had a warning (aura…mine is that I get deja vu with this intense feeling of fear and this odd heat flash that works its way up my body) and it’s always AT LEAST 20-30mins before my seizure (if not HOURS). However, you must make sure that your neurologist signs off on it and submit this to the DMV to make sure it’s on your license. My license says “Medical Alert” on it because of my seizures. It’s to protect yourself legally in case anything does happen when you’re driving.
I’d just like to add that I NEVER drive if I feel off in ANY way, even if it’s not my “typical” aura or anything typically related to my seizures. It really bothers me when someone who 1) I doesn’t even know me, 2) who has no clue about my medical condition, has only heard the words “epilepsy” or “seizure” and 3) has absolutely NO training in seizure disorders AT ALL wants to immediately call me irresponsible or whatever else when they hear that I drive. Sorry, buddy, but I’ve been dealing with these seizures for 20+ years now and I think I know my body WAY better than you do. What’s also kinda funny (more like ridiculous) is that people have no problem with those who have had DUIs and had their licensed revoked getting their license returned to them when they KNOWINGLY got behind the wheel when they shouldn’t have or the many other medical conditions people have that affect driving or the medications they take. I know my body and I’m not gonna risk my life or anyone else’s just so I can go to Target. And I surely know it better than some random person who jumps to quick judgment about others with no information. Please stop and think before voicing your unwarranted opinions about others’ medical conductions (this isn’t in reference to Dr. Chaffee’s comment at all, just something I felt the need to add because I’m sure of the thoughts going through some people’s minds as they read my comment saying that I drive, since I have had people constantly tell me how wrong I am for driving when they have no knowledge at all on the subject and have no reason to be voicing their meritless opinion).
Again CZcams is having a laugh with their suggested ad of macncheez! I am a carnivore so should not be in my cookies. I screen captured for shitz n giggles!
It would be awesome if you could cut up some of your videos to make them more shareable to people unwilling to watch longer videos. [not me I like them] thanks.
Some of them are shorter, and I do some smaller clips as well. I should look into doing time stamps to help with that as well
The carnivore diet might help those short attention spans. 😂

Simons audio is bad
Being ethical and refusing to eat other animals has a cost. But I'll never eat another sentient being even if I die.
All atoms are recycled, when you die you will decay and become soil. Soil turns death into plants which humans eat. So you can't avoid eating the remains of sentient beings.
I respect not eating meat for ethical reasons. I was vegetarian or vegan for decades myself. Now I think my logic was a bit flawed, because everything eats something else, and everything has to die. Other species eat a species-appropriate diet. Only humans agonize about that, yet treat animals shamefully in crowded conditions, eating grains instead of their natural diet. 🤷🏼♀️
What about all the rodents, rabbits, birds etc that are killed for your bread, corn, oats? Do you eat almonds? Almonds require bees too. Do you ever eat organic vegetables or vegetables from farmers markets? Those are fertilised with blood and bone from animals
Billions of creatures are killed when their natural habitats are cleared to grow these trendy new monocrops and seed oils (which require tons of petrochemical to grow) - then they have to be moved all over the globe requiring even more petrochemicals - and they are at least 10 times less nutrient-dense than meat meaning the transport of these foods is nowhere near as efficient ecologically as local meat production - which can be totally ecologically sustainable on existing farm and wildland. Vegetarian diets kill more creatures than meat diets!
C'mon Simon Lewis. Get rid of that horrid mike. Sound is just appalling.
Carnivore may be ok for blood type O genetics. Not for blood type A genetics.
I don't believe that to be true. I'm A+ and being on Carnivore is doing good things for my mental and physical well-being.
I am also an A+ blood type. I have thyroid issues and was suffering from terrible anxiety and dizziness last Christmas. I found the GAPS diet and did that as a way to ease into carnivore. It has made almost all of my anxiety go away. I do not get dizzy very often these days. I am so grateful for carnivore!
