I'm 81. Ketogenic for 6 years. Carnivore for 18 months. Ran London marathon, aged 78, on no carbs. Ridden 100 miles on bike, aged 76, with no carbs. I recommend work by Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek.

This man has SO much integrity! Many scientists are so invested in their “life’s work” that they cannot admit that they might’ve been wrong. So much respect for him! He is truly making a difference :)

[jasonanthonywilper]

Absolutely great! Tim noakes got me into low-carb-keto 15 years ago. 5 years ago i did carnivore! He‘s a great guy and the work he has done to resurrect his stance on carbs and publicly change what he said about recommending them was the act of someone who truly cares about the integrity of science and human health. I an very looking forward to this interview!

[ThomasRSA]

Being South African and an ex sportsman, I have to thank the Proffessor for keeping myself in my sport at a reasonable high level for nearly thirty years. Prof, you are a legend.

[alexiaford]

So much respect for Prof Tim Noakes. If only we had more scientists like him.

[ronayetanner]

Thank you having Professor Noakes, he is so humble always a smile on his face and a beautiful open mind

[tappersuzie]

Started carnivore 12/17/23, was strict and strong for 4 months and then got wobbly in mid April until mid June. Getting back on track with carnivore. Brain fog disappears. Strength, clarity, critical thinking, energy and calm astonish me. I'm 66 and once I get 21 days carnivore, I no longer fear getting older - I feel its a re-wiring of my brain, emotions, mentality as well as my body. Thank you Dr. Chaffee, your interview with the 82 year old lady rancher is another huge motivator. Sharing this video with my carnivore support group.

I’m a cyclist in my fifties andI been on carnivore for exactly nine months now. Diabetes, joint issues and other chronic conditions all gone. Century rides used to be the ultimate test, pushing my limits. Two days ago I did my first double century (223 km) easier than my pre carnivore centuries.

[thestrongcarnivoress]

Oh good, can’t wait to watch this. Tim Noaks my fellow countryman. Respect him so much.

[PhiIosophyGeek]

This guy is a legend, I cannot wait for this episode! Cheers from the Netherlands

[cgaumerd]

Thank you for your work Professor Noakes. Following your lead saved my life in 2014. Now carnivore for the last 2 years.

[CoryHobbs]

What a great episode with Prof Noakes. This man has gone through the ringer for his dedication to the truth regardless of the consequences. A trait not often seen in science these days.

[djtoman]

Tim Noakes is a legend and a true scientist. So excited for this conversation!

[Epona]

This was an absolute delight - I have such respect for Tim Noaks, and his courage in acknowledging an error in his teaching and taking a stand to correct it, even against the powers-that-be! Thank you, Dr. Chaffee!

[cyberaxcw]

Greetings from South Africa. Prof Noakes is a legend!

[KetoMarathons]

What a fantastic interview! This is one to save and watch on repeat. Brilliant work. Thank you

[jonelleolds-ruppel]

How can you not have the utmost respect for this man! His knowledge is incredible because he has lived it and now shares it knowing it goes against his old beliefs and today’s narrative.

[yvonnekiwior]

Dr Noakes you are truly a brilliant and brave man, who has inspired many. 🇨🇦

[andrewroyals]

Prof is an absolute hero. His story convinced me six years ago.
He’s cheerful, positive, encouraging, principled, accomplished, hardworking and smart as a whip.
I’m glad I found him when I did, especially, just at the time as the rest of the world’s conventional authorities were about to be revealed as lacking in so many of those same essential characteristics.

[lieweheksie]

Fellow SAfrican here - respect! Prof, you're the best! Thanks Dr Chaffee for inviting the best
