The Plant Free MD with Dr Anthony Chaffee

Dr. Anthony Chaffee is a medical doctor and former professional rugby player who built this podcast around a provocative thesis: humans evolved as obligate carnivores, and most plant foods are actively harmful. That is a strong position, and it makes for genuinely interesting conversations regardless of where you land on the debate. The show has grown to 200 episodes across 8 seasons, publishing weekly with episodes typically running about an hour. Chaffee interviews a wide range of guests, from archaeologists discussing three million years of human dietary evolution to Broadway performers who healed chronic pain by switching to an all-beef diet. Recent episodes have tackled whether blood markers are misleading on carnivore, food addiction as a designed outcome of processed food engineering, and the case against conventional MS treatment in favor of dietary intervention. The guest variety keeps the show from becoming repetitive. With a 4.8-star rating from 444 Apple Podcasts reviews, the audience is clearly engaged. Chaffee brings his medical training and athletic background into every discussion, and he is not afraid to challenge mainstream nutritional guidelines directly. Some listeners have noted that advertising frequency can be distracting in certain episodes. The show sits at the more radical end of the keto-to-carnivore spectrum, so it will not appeal to everyone. But for listeners who are already comfortable with very low-carb eating and want to explore the evolutionary and clinical arguments for an animal-based diet, Chaffee presents those arguments with medical credibility and a genuine passion for the subject.
