Summary

In this week’s podcast, Paul sits down in person with Shannen Michaela, a well-known contortionist on social media who just happened to move to Costa Rica and is expecting her first child. Shannen shares her story from being a vegan in her teen years with acne and birth control struggles to now eating an animal-based diet to optimize fertility and overall health.

0:00.0	The more that we are separated from the way that we've lived as humans for hundreds of thousands of years, the more problems we have.
0:05.7	My patients are getting better. Check out this review on lifeblood from heart and soil supplements.
0:11.3	I'm a psychiatrist and have followed Dr. Saladino's work for a while now.
0:14.9	Much of my thinking around nutrition has been informed by his animal-based approach to diet.
0:19.1	Recently, a patient of mine with long-standing, obsessive-compulsive disorder mentioned to me that her latest blood work indicated she was anemic.
0:27.0	Her primary care doctor suggested that she start taking supplemental ferrous sulfate.
0:31.2	She agreed to try lifeblood from heart and soil supplements instead and has not had an intrusive thought since.
0:37.9	I love this stuff, you guys. Lifeblood contains spleen, liver, and blood.
0:42.1	Spleen is the most bioavailable source of heme iron.
0:45.5	Of any of the organs, blood contains all sorts of unique growth factors, nutritional components, and immune cells in it.

1:14.3	that can affect the formation of dopamine, a kinere-transmitter in the human body.
1:19.6	So in this case, it appears that supplementing with liver, blood, and spleen, things that are hard to get,
1:24.9	unless you're getting a men-decicated organ supplement, really helped this patient.
1:28.5	I'm so glad the psychiatrist shared this review.
1:30.8	And I fully believe that organs will be very beneficial for many of you throughout your life.
1:35.0	Obviously, none of this is medical advice. See your doctor about any ailment that you have.
1:38.2	But including organs in your life will definitely upgrade your health in so many ways.
