Valerie Anne Smith had treatment-resistant anorexia for decades. Nothing seemed to work. Then, she achieved remission using an animal-based keto diet, along with two other people in a case series conducted by previous podcast guest Dr. Nick Norwitz.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor and neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health.
It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes to a species specific diet.
He began University at the age of 16 studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry, which culminated in an MD from the Royal College of Surgeons. He is an All-American rugby player, former professional player in England and America, and has also trained in MMA fighting at AMC Kickboxing in Kirkland, Washington.
More recently, he volunteered as a doctor in the refugee camps in Bangladesh, helping the survivors of the 2017 genocide in Burma of the Rohingyan people.

Nick Norwitz PhD describes his case series showing recovery from anorexia using an animal based ketogenic diet - https://insulinresistance.org/index.php/jir/article/view/84.
We discuss the 30 year battle one of the case series patients describes prior to recovery, how the 'eat everything' tactic doesn't work for many, and how this case series gives us fuel to investigate further, but is not a blanket recommendation for people with eating disorders to experiment alone.
