Summary
Is it possible to live a healthy life eating only meat? Dr. Paul Saladino makes a very strong argument in support of the Carnivore Diet in today's episode. Dr. Saladino brings a mass of studies to back up the argument that humans run optimally eating only animal products. But... there is a catch... in order to balance all of your required nutrients you must consume what he refers to as nose to tail, eating from many parts of the animal including organ meat, ligaments, tendons and even bone. Let us know what you think of this paradigm challenging episode! Part 2 comes your way on Monday!

| 0:07.0 | The Hey everybody, welcome to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. |
| 0:39.2 | I am her host, Ben Bikolsky. |
| 0:40.9 | Today we're going to dive into the carnivore diet, eating exclusively animal products, nose |
| 0:49.0 | to tail. |
| 0:49.5 | And today's guest is, from my perspective, by far the best authority I've come across on the topic. |
| 0:56.2 | Someone who takes an exclusively scientific approach, validated in science and research, |
| 1:02.0 | and has a really, really good argument for this potentially being the most natural, |
| 1:08.1 | healthful approach to eating. |
| 1:09.4 | I know there's people out there who are probably adamantly opposed to this, |
| 1:14.0 | at least in your paradigm, but you know I challenge each and every one of you as I do with |

| 1:22.0 | challenge your beliefs, and have an open mind to the possibility of this being a potentially very, very useful approach to |

| 1:38.1 | joins me today, and I've heard him on a number of other podcasts, done a lot of digging into his |
| 1:43.3 | pedigree and his research. |
| 1:46.0 | And this guy is very, very bright, as you will soon hear. |
| 1:49.5 | He's got a rebuttal or a response or research to back up pretty much every single argument |
| 1:57.2 | against carnivore or pro-vegetables or pro really anything other than meat and animal products. |
| 2:03.2 | So Dr. Saladino advocates eating nose to tail, which is not just muscle meat, like typically we would |
| 2:09.9 | eat, typically we would find in a grocery store, which means looking at organs and looking at |
