This is Everyday Wellness, a podcast dedicated to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals and provide practical strategies that you can use in your real life.

And now, here is your host, Nurse Practition practitioner Cynthia Thurlow.

So excited to have Dr. Saladino.

He is the leading authority

on the science and application of the carnivore diet.

I have just finished the carnivore code which I highly recommend.

He has used this diet to reverse auto immunity, chronic inflammation, and mental health issues in hundreds of patients,

many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable.

He is the host of the popular Fundamental Health Podcast and author of the best-selling book as I mentioned

earlier the Carnivore Code in 2019. He's also currently working on the

Companion Carnivore Code cookbook to be released in late 2020. So nice to have you here with me this afternoon and

thank you again for getting up early to connect. It's great to be here. Thanks for having me on.

Well I really with you, great respect and admiration, you know, dove into your book and was very pleasantly surprised to kind of hear about your story and I always think the background of what got us to where we are today. your hearing a little bit more about it and I love that you started as a PA in

and cardiology because I worked as an MP in cardiology for 16 years so I'm all

about the heart and I think that is one of the best specialties to be in to really see what metabolic

inflexibility and metabolic disease really does and ravages to the bodies but I'd love

for you to share your story. Yeah, I grew up in Northern Virginia, right where you are,

from D.C.

My dad is a physician.

He's an internist.

And my mom is a nurse practitioner.

She does diabetes care. They're both pretty much retired now.
