Episode 265: Kidney Disease and the Carnivore Diet! | Brandon Maxey

Brandon Maxey's story is not a simple narrative of dietary redemption. It's a complex and compelling exploration of the human body's resilience in the face of severe autoimmune kidney disease. For years, Brandon endured dialysis while adhering to vegan, raw vegan, and raw fruitarian diets, seeking a path to healing. Instead, his condition worsened, culminating in neurological damage so profound he was bedridden and unable to use his hands. On this episode of the Plant Free MD podcast, Brandon recounts his arduous journey, a journey that took an unexpected and controversial turn when he embraced a carnivore diet. He shares the profound improvements he experienced, not a miraculous cure, but a significant shift in his health trajectory. Dr. Anthony Chaffee and Brandon delve into the science underpinning this transformation, exploring the intricate relationship between animal-based nutrition, autoimmune disease, neurological function, and the progression of kidney disease. This is not a story of easy answers, but a nuanced examination of the power of food as medicine, challenging conventional wisdom and offering a vital perspective for anyone grappling with chronic illness. Join us for a conversation that transcends dietary dogma and illuminates the complexities of health and healing.
