Today we're turning the spotlight on Dr. Anthony Chaffee, a medical professional and former professional rugby player who has dedicated his career to exploring the impact of diet on chronic diseases and athletic performance.

In this episode, Dr. Chaffee takes us on a journey through historical and modern dietary patterns, shedding light on the dramatic shifts in our food consumption over the past century. He argues that the decline in red meat and saturated fat intake, coupled with a surge in fruits, vegetables, grains, sweeteners, and seed oils, has coincided with rising rates of obesity and cardiovascular disease.
