Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Glutton. Outside of acting my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast

we're going to talk about all of it. Food is entertainment, food is sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person just like you and me. On American Glutton

we have had a few guests who follow a carnivore diet and it's a bit controversial in some

circles. Today we have one of the premier experts in this area, Dr. Paul Saladino. Dr. Saladino

is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has

used this diet to reverse auto-immunity chronic inflammation and mental health issues

in hundreds of patients. You can find him at carnivoremd.com or carnivoremd on Instagram.

I hope you enjoy.

Paul Saladino, welcome to the American Glutton podcast. It's such a good day to be here brother.

Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I have lots of questions and I have talked to a number of people

who who do carnivore and but we haven't gotten into like the sciencey aspect of it. So I'm really

excited to talk to you about that just so I can understand it more on a scientific level.

It's super fascinating stuff and my research journey with it has been really, really engaging.

So I'm excited to share it. Yeah, you talk about a dirty carnivore and a clean carnivore.

Listen, and I want to tell you I've never done carnivore. I've done keto and I had a version

of keto which I considered to be dirty and a version which I considered to be clean.

None of this was scientific. This was all just kind of my own creation. You know,

if I was going to eat nacho cheese and hot dogs, I was doing a very lazy, dirty keto and probably

wasn't going to lose weight which was my intended consequence for doing keto. And I just want to

know like right off the bat, this is something you talk about, right? Dirty carnivore?
