433 — Dr. Shawn Baker: Can an All-Meat Diet Heal Chronic Disease?

Author: Doctor Podcast Network March 5, 2026 Duration: 1:23:58

Dr. Baker shares his journey from orthopedic surgeon to one of the most visible advocates of meat-based nutrition and discusses why he believes modern dietary recommendations may contribute to chronic illness. The discussion explores metabolic health, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and the growing movement of individuals experimenting with elimination diets to improve symptoms.

Throughout the episode, the hosts examine both the enthusiasm and controversy surrounding the carnivore approach, asking whether nutrition could play a larger role in treating disease rather than simply managing it with medications.

Tired of the same old medical talk that feels disconnected from real life? BS Free MD with Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh offers something different. This is a conversation between two practicing physicians who are also partners, blending their professional expertise with personal experience. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where discussions about healthcare, medical history, and philosophy are grounded in the realities of life, family, and the daily grind of being a doctor. You'll hear honest reflections on the system, stories from the front lines that you won't find in textbooks, and a genuine look at how medicine intersects with everything else. The Doctor Podcast Network brings you this unique perspective, where the dialogue is as engaging as it is insightful. It’s a space for anyone curious about the human side of medicine-patients and professionals alike. This podcast doesn’t shy away from complex topics, but it approaches them with a warmth and authenticity that makes even the heaviest subjects feel accessible. Expect candid stories, occasional tangents into culture and society, and the shared wisdom of two people who see the world through both a stethoscope and a shared life. Tune in for a genuinely fresh take.
