In this insightful episode, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, a neurosurgical resident from the U.S now living in Perth, Australia, shares his passion for neurosurgery and his fascinating perspective on optimal nutrition for human health and performance. He believes many chronic diseases can be reversed through dietary changes to a species-specific, carnivore diet.

Dr Chaffee discusses his captivation with the brain's complexity from medical school, marvelling at the ability to operate on the organ that defines our humanity. His fascination with the brain's biochemistry and restoring lives through neurosurgery fuelled his career path. The speaker delves into his research on plant defence chemicals and the evolutionary relationship between plants and animals, reinforcing his belief in a carnivore diet as the best way to eat for humans.

He cites surprising findings that many fruits and vegetables contain natural carcinogens and toxins more harmful than pesticides. Dr. Chaffee shares his personal experience transitioning to a strict meat-and-eggs diet, leading to remarkable improvements in athletic performance, metabolic health markers and energy levels.
