0:00.0	Welcome to the Fundamental Health Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Paul Saladino. This podcast
0:11.0	is the result of my relentless search to understand and correct the roots of chronic
0:15.1	disease and illness. In this podcast, I will share with you everything I have learned
0:19.3	about how to live the most healthy and radical life possible. Thanks for joining me on this
0:23.9	journey.
0:26.3	What is up you guys? Welcome to another edition of the Fundamental Health Podcast. I've been
0:31.8	thinking a lot recently about differences between an animal-based diet and a paleolithic
0:39.1	diet because I was eating a paleolithic diet when I had really bad eczema and then transitioned
0:45.4	to a carnivore diet and now very similar to a carnivore diet and an animal-based diet
0:50.3	and had massive improvements in my eczema. We've seen it with so many people. I posted
0:54.3	about Chad Mendes, my friend Logan Sneed just texted me saying that his psorias has massively
0:59.7	improved on a carnivore diet and I think that there are two main differences between a
1:05.4	paleolithic diet and an animal-based diet which are critically important. The first
1:08.9	of which you've all heard me talk about is the elimination of leafy greens and nuts
1:15.6	and seeds on an animal-based diet. I don't think those are super healthy for humans. The
1:20.0	second thing is the emphasis on organ meats and I really don't think there is another
1:26.8	way of eating that is being talked about right now today in 2021 that does the importance
1:34.5	of organs justice. More than almost any other thing you can do in your diet including organs
1:41.9	will improve your overall health. Certainly cutting out things like processed seed
1:47.0	oils, processed sugars will improve your overall health but including organs, more good,
1:52.7	less bad, will change the quality of your life massively. If you are not getting enough
1:58.4	organs in your diet, things like liver, heart, spleen, kidney, pancreas, testicles, brain,
