Summary
In this compelling conversation, Psychiatrist & Health Influencer Paul Saladino advocates for the simplicity of eating real, whole foods and discusses their profound impact on chronic illness, mental health and overall well-being. At the core of this discussion is the importance of eating meat or maintaining a “carnivore” diet, something he says might not be right for everyone but is certainly beneficial for many. He details the detrimental effects of processed foods and funding-driven misinformation within the health industry. Saladino shares personal anecdotes, including the influence of his family's health issues on his career in medicine and nutritional science, his journey with vegan and carnivore diets and the adjustments in his dietary philosophy. He emphasizes the significance of metabolic health over conventional LDL-focused approaches to cardiovascular disease, touching on topics like LDL cholesterol, insulin sensitivity and the pitfalls of overreliance on statins. Additionally, he delves into his favorite forms of exercise, his thoughts on supplementation,and the impact of modern lighting (and lightbulbs) on health. The conversation wraps up with practical advice for achieving health by aligning more closely with the body's natural state and removing systemic impediments.

| 0:00.0 | It's such a simple message. Just eat real food. Eat single ingredient foods. Eat meat, |
| 0:04.3 | eat plants. Eat foods with a label that your grandmother would recognize every ingredient. |
| 0:08.6 | And I think most chronic illness would get better. And it's just, it's so heartbreaking to me |
| 0:12.8 | to imagine people who continue to suffer, who want to get better, who never find the information. |
| 0:17.2 | The quality of the food you eat is everything. Over the last even 20 years, large |
| 0:23.4 | processed food companies are actively funding organizations that are obviously built to confuse |
| 0:28.3 | people. In 2015, the New York Times broke a story about the global energy balance network, |
| 0:33.7 | calories in calories out. It's secretly funded by Coca-Cola. |
| 0:37.3 | Hi everyone. Today's guest is one Coca-Cola. Hi, everyone. Today's |
| 0:38.6 | guest is one that I'm really extremely excited about, not just because he's got, well, |
| 0:43.1 | more energy than just about anyone I know, which says a lot, but because he has taken risks, |
| 0:48.5 | risks in his career to explore new ideas, to discover new diets, and advocate for a healthy |
| 0:53.7 | future. He's even carved out a reputation |
| 0:56.1 | for himself as a devoted carnivore with his animal-based diet, and I can't wait for you to meet him. |
| 1:04.1 | He's a double-certified MD, a health influencer, and a fearless force in the wellness world. |
| 1:10.0 | And something on a personal note, one of the things |
| 1:13.9 | I most admire about him is that he was willing to change his mind and pivot publicly. Please |
| 1:21.5 | meet and welcome to the show, Paul Saladino. This podcast is brought to you by Troscriptions. |
