How Carbs RUIN Your Health and Biomarkers! | Stephen Thomas
Challenging Conventional Health Metrics: Insights on Carnivore Diet, Lab Misinterpretation, and Metabolic Health
Gain critical insight into why standard medical lab ranges fail carbohydrate-restricted eaters and learn the physiological mechanics underpinning long-term health on a primarily meat-based diet.
Short Summary
- Personal Transformation: Stephen Thomas transitioned from a high-carb fitness advocate to a carnivore proponent after severe health markers (high CAC score, pre-diabetic signals) appeared despite following official guidelines.
- Lab Skepticism: Conventional metrics like HBA1C and eGFR are unreliable for low-carb populations because they rely on physiological assumptions not relevant to fat metabolism.
- Physiological Defense: Carbohydrate restriction reduces glycation, improving red blood cell health, reversing Type 2 Diabetes, and supporting better kidney function (when measured correctly via Cystatin C).
This discussion dives deep into the biochemistry that explains resistance to conventional dietary advice, focusing on misleading lab values, the role of insulin, and the protective effects of eliminating carbohydrate-related cellular damage (glycation). The goal is to empower readers to trust metabolic outcomes over standardized reference ranges when adopting a species-appropriate diet.

I too think that Dr Anthony is genuine . A rebel in the heart . Fuelled by actual good will
"When the sun comes out we think it's a UFO." 😂😅😂😅😂😅😅
It's so great to see Stephen up there with the big guns. As a fellow brit I love hearing his voice and his integrity ❤
I just want to thank both of you, men for giving us the truth about health and nutrition instead of what we’ve been spoonfed all our lives, which has been a lie. I’m 70-year-old man been doing primarily carnivore for the last five years and I’ve never felt better in my life. Thanks again.!!!!
I’m 2.5 years into carnivore (PHD-proper human diet)and am feeling so much better. The very few times I’ve eaten something (SAD- standard American diet) outside of carnivore, my body almost immediately reminds me NOT to eat the old way, again! Many thanks and appreciation to Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Ken Berry for helping immensely! Now others in my circle have listened and are doing so much better, too!
"what is in the blood is NOT what's in the tissues!"' great quote Coach Stephen 👏
Excellent podcast, Stephan is a living encyclopedia of human biochemistry.
I went off Lion diet while traveling this Summer. When i got home, i could barely walk down my stairs. 6 weeks of being home on lion diet, I'm sprinting those stairs with no pain.
You can tell straight away if someone is a good, genuine honest person and this is the case with Dr Chaffee. He wants to do good for the world and see folk better themselves. Trying full carnivore today! Thanks for all your advice.
Haha.. it says 1 watching. Its me. Thanks for educating us about health.
